Scott Johnston on Future Selfing and Conscious Leadership

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Scott Johnston, founder of Future Selfing, to explore a deeply personal founder journey that bridges high-performance leadership and inner transformation. Scott shares how his early career in software sales and the founding of a successful global SaaS company led to intense pressure at the executive level—ultimately pushing him into burnout and addiction despite outward success.From that turning point, Scott explains how his path to recovery reshaped his understanding of identity, subconscious programming, and decision-making. The conversation dives into the core principles of Future Selfing, including breathwork, meditation, and future-focused thinking as tools for creating space between reaction and response. Scott discusses how these practices help founders and executives regain clarity, presence, and long-term alignment—allowing them to lead with intention rather than impulse while building sustainable success.
