"REAL" is the perfect word to describe our experience with Tweed Scott!! Tweed opened his heart and shared his story, his humor, his passion...and his wisdom to inspire the juveniles who are detained or living in a facility for At-Risk youth. He made them laugh, think and inspired them push forward!! I would invite Tweed back again and again to share his many stories and talents!

“You headlined the Annual City of Pflugerville Volunteer Banquet....and what a response we received! Every time I see someone who attended, the first thing they tell me is how much they enjoyed your section of the evening AND how excited they were to receive your book as a memory of the event. I hesitate to call it a 'speech'...because (speeches) tend to be canned and what you shared with us was a genuine experiential account of the effect our great state has had upon you and the things you learned about Texas and Texans while writing it.
I appreciate the way you tailored your remarks to encourage our guests not only as volunteers, but also as individuals. I have coordinated this event for 5 years and you have, by far, been the most popular speaker.
It was truly a joy to work with you while I was planning. Your cooperation and attention to detail was very refreshing and you definitely went the extra mile. I would recommend Tweed as your next event speaker.

"What a treat to have Tweed Scott speak to our group! He was captivating, inspiring and warm. His stories were uplifting and motivational and encouraged the group to follow their dreams in pursuit of their destiny. He made us feel very proud of our heritage and helped us to understand better that we really DO have something special in Texas. Tweed was engaging and witty. I would highly recommend him to others needing a spectacular speaker!”

You started our festival off with a big Texas bang!! Not only were we impressed with your love and knowledge of Texas and Texans but also with how you tailored your talk to the audience and encouraged discussion. You were as animated and funny with our group of 20 as you would have been with a much larger audience. We overheard a patron speaking to her friend as she left the library saying “these other folks around here just don’t know what they missed!” If everyone could get a daily “dose” of laughter from your humorous and down-home remarks, it would be a much happier and gentler world.

"You just gotta love Tweed! He knows a good thing when he sees it—Texas—and delves into its mystique in an extraordinarily down-to-earth manner. Listening to Tweed, reading Tweed, you begin to think he’s a Texan. Come to think of it, he exhibits the finest characteristics of a Texan! OK, Tweed, you’re now one of us."

“Tweed Scott is a mesmerizing and engaging speaker. He had the entire group sucked in with the first three sentences. When it was over, we didn’t even realize how much time had passed. I highly recommend Tweed to any group as a speaker. If you love Texas, you’ll love Tweed Scott’s speaking of Texas”

“You did a superb job in your presentation and I have had many members tell me how much they enjoyed hearing a professional like you speak.”

"As a direct descendent of one of the original 300 families brought to Texas by Stephen F. Austin, I am always interested in how Texas started and what makes it unique. Tweed Scott's presentation to the Pflugerville Rotary Club brought new insights about our state. Tweed's look at Texas history and attitude revealed in his book, Texas In Her Own Words, is a must read for all true Texans and wanna-be's. And if you get a chance to hear Tweed Scott speak, take it. You will be rewarded with a fun and informative event."
Jim Wilkinson--Pflugerville, TX
"Tweed Scott is the author of Texas In Her Own Words, the most talked about book in Texas. As a speaker, Scott is a wonderful storyteller who totally engages his audience and makes it want to hear him tell more of his authentic Texas stories. His years in the radio business planted the seeds for his gigantic ability to keep his audience's attention. Tweed Scott is the best! There is no doubt about it."
Larry Lubenow, Shoebox PR, Austin, TX
"In 15 minutes, Tweed touched that special pride that comes from being 'Texan'. Whether you were native or naturalized, his insight into the origin of the myths that make this a special place grounded us all to those very stories."
