The Turning Point
Scott Leslie’s motivation for WMIP began during a chapter of life that tested his strength in ways most people will never understand. After years of being a dependable father, a loyal friend, and a man who lifted others even when he was struggling, he found himself face to face with a diagnosis that changed everything. Stage 4 cancer forced him to view life differently, speak differently, and love differently.
But it also made one thing painfully clear.
His kids needed more than memories.
They needed something they could come back to.
Something they could hear his voice in.
Something that held the lessons he didn’t know how much time he had left to teach.
That truth became the spark.
As updates about his diagnosis became more serious, Scott Leslie began talking to Kyle about creating something deeper… something meaningful… something that would outlive uncertainty. Those conversations were honest, emotional, and driven by the love he had for his three children.
Scott Leslie became a driving force in bringing WMIP to life.
His desire to preserve his legacy for his kids pushed the entire idea forward. He wanted them to have something they could grow from… something that would remind them of who he was: a man of strength, patience, compassion, and perspective.
WMIP wasn’t created because life was easy.
It was created because life demanded purpose.
And Scott Leslie stepped into that purpose with courage most people never witness.
What He Wants Others to See
Scott Leslie’s mission is simple, but powerful.
He wants to leave his children a roadmap of wisdom and perspective they can carry for the rest of their lives. Not in quotes on a wall or text messages saved on a phone, but in his voice. In conversations that feel like he is still sitting beside them.
Through WMIP, Scott models a kind of strength that is not loud or forceful… but steady, grateful, and real. He shows men what it looks like to face fear without collapsing into it, to live with purpose in the middle of uncertainty, and to keep choosing love over bitterness.
His impact reaches far beyond the microphone.
Listeners feel the honesty in his words.
They hear the father.
They hear the mentor.
They hear the man who refuses to let his circumstances define him.
Every episode becomes part of Scott Leslie’s legacy.
A gift to his kids.
A source of strength for Kyle.
A reminder to every listener that perspective is often the difference between breaking and becoming.
Scott’s story teaches one truth better than anything else:
Real strength isn’t found in avoiding hardship.
Real strength is found in who you become through it.
And that legacy lives in every word he speaks.
