About Scott Fulbright
Co-Founder, Encore Income | Creator of the Corporate Superpowers Assessment
I spent three decades building and running companies—from a communications firm in the early '90s, to a leadership consultancy that helped businesses scale without losing their culture, to a boutique advisory group guiding mid-sized companies through transitions and turnarounds.
By any reasonable measure, I did things right. Built businesses. Sold businesses. Saved consistently. Checked the boxes.
And at 55, I realized it probably wasn't going to be enough.
Not because I'd made mistakes—but because the math had changed. Longer retirements, rising costs, and a market that doesn't care about your plans. I wasn't in crisis, but I could see the gap between where I was and where I needed to be.
The Turning Point
The typical advice? Save more. Work longer. Cut back your lifestyle.
None of that appealed to me. So I started looking at what I actually had to work with—and realized the "boring corporate skills" I'd spent decades developing were worth real money outside the corporate walls.
Stakeholder management. Operational problem-solving. Leadership development. Budget oversight. The stuff that felt routine to me was genuinely valuable to small business owners and growing companies who didn't have those capabilities in-house.
Within a year, working 8-10 hours a week alongside my existing commitments (which felt like having a normal corporate job), I'd built $5,000/month in what I now call Encore Income — supplementary income you build while still employed, in preparation for retirement. By the time I was ready to step back, it was already generating steady income. That's the whole point: build it before you need it, not after.
Why I Built This
I created Encore Income because most experienced professionals have no idea they're sitting on the same opportunity. They can't see their own value because they're too close to it.
The Corporate Superpowers Assessment exists to fix that. It identifies the 2-3 specific skills you've developed over your career that are most monetizable—not generic stuff like "leadership" or "communication," but the precise capabilities that companies and clients will actually pay for.
This isn't about becoming an influencer. It's not about passive income or launching a startup. It's about recognizing what you've already built and putting it to work strategically.
Since launching, Encore Income has been featured on over 550 news sites, including CBS, NBC, ABC, and the Associated Press — not because we promised overnight riches, but because this approach actually works for people who've spent decades building real skills.
No hype. No guru nonsense. Just a realistic path forward.
The Personal Stuff
I split my time between the Alexandria, Virginia area and Santa Cruz, Bolivia—two very different worlds that somehow balance each other out.
In Virginia, you'll find me on early morning bike rides along the Mount Vernon Trail or grabbing coffee in Old Town Alexandria. In Santa Cruz, it's exploring the local markets, long afternoons in outdoor cafés on the plaza, and occasional trips to the nearby cloud forests and pre-Columbian ruins at Samaipata.
Wherever I am, I'm usually experimenting with pour-over coffee techniques, adding to the Moleskine notebook I've titled "What I Learned Today," or reading more Seneca than I probably should. I have a weakness for noir fiction and believe that the best travel involves hiking trails rather than resort pools.
My wife and I made this dual-continent life possible once our kids were grown—which is partly what gave me the space, and the motivation, to figure out this next chapter.
