 “Scott
Silverman and his organization Second Chance are doing
angels’ work. His tough love program gives a hand up—never a
handout—to former inmates, addicts, and homeless people.
This account of how one determined man has helped countless
people transform from victims into productive members of
society will touch your heart and melt away your cynicism.
It’s also a fantastic blueprint for bringing positive change
to our overburdened prison system.”
― Ken Blanchard, coauthor of
The One Minute Manager® and The One Minute
Entrepreneur™ |

"Scott H. Silverman is a powerhouse of passion backed by
experience, honesty backed by strength, and knowledge backed

in expertise, drive, reality and ability that you will gain.
He's like Superman in a suit."
― Rob Carmona, founder of
STRIVE |

"Scott is an excellent speaker and a passionate advocate.
His personal story has enabled him to truly understand how
difficult it can be to rise up and achieve success. We are

determination."

Director of Jewish Family Service San Diego |

 "Scott
Silverman is the real deal. He empowers, uplifts and
inspires audiences with his personal stories of unimaginable
despair turned into incredible triumphs. First and foremost
is the story of the formation of his highly successful
non-profit Second Chance where he daily turns lives around
for the positive by practicing tough love and providing
practical tools. Scott is committed to making sure that
everyone doesn't take no for an answer and instead looks for
the yes's to make their lives the best that they can be."

 "Scott
Silverman spoke in front of our Marin County Bar Association
General Membership meeting. Lawyers can be a tough
crowd, but Scott impressed us all with his passion and
dynamic, energetic speaking style. As one of our members
told me afterwards, 'Scott could sell ice cubes to Eskimos.'
I give my highest personal endorsement to Scott for your
next event. He will not disappoint."
― Jeff Lerman- 2007 President, Marin County Bar Association |

 "Scott
Silverman is an individual whose vision has touched many
people, including myself. I am a graduate and now work for
him and am proud to contribute towards his legacy in
the community. Working with him to help accomplish his
vision is an honor. I have never been so excited about
getting up to go to work as I do today!"

 "Scott
has never failed to amaze me and at times, even stun me. As
a graduate he opened my eyes to ways to contribute to my
community and now an employee of Second Chance, I am fully
aware that I will never have another boss like Scott
Silverman! He may not even know the extent to which he
touches people. To those who are fortunate enough to have a
‘Silverman encounter’, I hope you are ready to take it in
because it is an opportunity to see his “Tell Me No I Dare
You” attitude in action with leaders in the community,
media, employers, politicians, and other staff. I am still
wrapping my mind around him and learning his masterful art."

 "I
have always been scared of change.... I have always felt
sick to my stomach when I imagined success because I truly
felt like my life was not meant to be a successful one.
Well, that was until Scott Silverman was introduced into my
life... In my eyes a man like Mr. Silverman is not just an
ordinary person that wants to reach out to others, he is a
SYMBOL of excellence, inspiration, change, hope, and the
answer for someone who wants a better path in life! Before I
met Scott I was heavily abusing drugs and alcohol. Now i
stand 32 months sober, i am going to school to get my degree
in chemical dependency, and I am working as a drug counselor
for a very well known organization. I would like to thank
Scott Silverman for helping me change my life 32 months ago
and showing me that even when it rains the sky watching over
me can still be bright!”

"Scott Silverman is a
phenomenal person, and it is reflected in his program-Second
Chance/STRIVE. I have witnessed him turning thousands of
lives around-including mine! When I applied everything Scott
taught me, I was promoted 3 weeks after my hire date. He is
an awesome individual who has helped me re-enter the path to
my own success in ways I had never thought possible."
― Yadira Reyes, STRIVE Class 113
"Literally thousands of
personal guide books are published every year but this one
will rivet you to your seat until you finish it. It's a true
life story of comebacks, first for the author who fought
through enough demons to kill any man 40 times, and the
people he has brought back from the dead. These are ex-cons
who regain their self-esteem in Scott Silverman's creation:
Second Chance. Nearly all of us law-abiding citizens get
second chances, but how often do people coming out of prison
get second chances? Damn few. You're lucky if you're one of
those and live in San Diego where nearly 14,000 folks over
the past years have created new lives for themselves.
Silverman's book intermixes his own life trials with the
stories of those he has brought back to life. Nothing could
be more fascinating. This book rates the Big Five Stars in
my book."
― Dave Nuffer, San Diego, CA, reader review on
amazon.com
"Silverman is one of those
rare individuals that you come across only once or twice in
a lifetime. His Second Chance program had a profound impact
on me at a time when I could just have easily gone down the
wrong path. I have benefited from having Scott in my life in
more ways than I will probably ever be aware of. His vision,
attitude and personality pushed me in just the right ways at
exactly the right times to make 3 weeks in a classroom seem
like a lifetime of education. I will be forever grateful
that Scott Silverman was a part of my life."
― Eric J. Kiser, VP of Manufacturing, Strategic Operations,
Inc.
"This book was a read that
made me snuggle into my couch and kept the pages turning.
This book was a read that made me laugh at the adventures
Scott fell into while during some of the others had me
gasping aloud in shock while my eyebrows raised. This book
was a read that made me pause to realize if I keep saying,
"yes" ...no shouting, "YES!" in my life then it will be a
life worth living instead of allowing the "no's" to wash
over and erase my brilliance. Well done Scott!"
― Cassandra Wilson, Educator
"Little kids have Superman
or Spiderman. I have Scott Silverman."
― Anthony P. /Graduate Second Chance
"I was hooked within just a
few pages, with my life changed for the better by the end of
the book! I gobbled it up like popcorn. Scott takes you on a
bravely candid and deeply personal journey that is sure to
be inspirational to those who've experienced their share of
life's rocky road. And for everyone else? It will be
absolutely fascinating...and no less inspirational. "Tell me
no. I dare you!" is a must-read for anyone who's ever
thought "it can't be done" or "I'm not smart enough" or even
"how can one person make a difference?" Well, you'll quickly
learn from someone who's "been there, done that" and facing
seemingly insurmountably bad odds, that finding your "yes"
just might be where you find your purpose. Scott certainly
found his in spades. Just ask the thousands of lives he's
touched. Read the book. Hope, love, and a better life can be
yours, too...and who knows? Maybe your "yes" will lead you
on the journey of a lifetime, too. Humanity is waiting... "
― M. Johnson /reader review on
amazon.com
"Scott
Silverman is a warm, outgoing, caring professional who works
well with others and believes in his cause. He is able to
motivate without intimidation, and inspire the best out of
everyone. He is an excellent public speaker and tireless
worker for Second Chance, and someone that anyone should
have the pleasure to meet." |
