I'm Scotte Burns, an author, speaker, and explorer of love's true story. I survived a violent childhood, addiction, and the loss of friends to suicide, prison, and overdose. I was redeemed through the love of family & friends, a quarter-century of teaching, a few good dogs, and a marriage that's now over four decades strong. Driven by these experiences to pursue the question of what love really is, Toni and I have ridden 100,000 miles across America, interviewing everyone from neuroscientists to ex-cons, monks to faith leaders and jazz singers. All those years and miles have revealed an understanding of love not as something we simply feel or do, but as the way the deepest reality creates, connects, and calls us forward. 

 

Now I share that understanding through books, talks, workshops, and the stories that reveal it, offering a vision of love that's grounded, transformative, and soulful - like laughter with friends and a life well lived.
