I was honored to be included in the book “The Try” by Jim Owen. Enjoy this excerpt from the movie that will be coming out by Havey Productions
The Try: Scott Silverman Preview from Havey Productions on Vimeo.
The Try
How Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things
The Try
is an upcoming documentary film from Havey Productions in association
with the Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership. The film is based on a
new book from Cowboy Ethics
author, Jim Owen, telling the stories of 12 ordinary Americans who have
accomplished extraordinary things by virtue of their relentless focus
and fierce determination to overcome every obstacle.
The Try
captures that elusive, yet unmistakable blend of inner drive, work
ethic, and personal responsibility that distinguishes the do-ers and
leaders among us. These are traits that cannot be taught, but can be
inspired. When you have “the try” anything is possible. All it takes
is all you’ve got. The film is slated for release in Summer 2011
