NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Scott Hinds fell into food guides tours. Scott was a booking agent, but COVID hit and shut down so many shows.

He'd recently become a new parent and needed money.

After encouragement from friends, who knew Scott was a born storyteller, he started offering tours to some of Nashville’s top restaurants.

It was a hit! Now, how he became a hit-makers, involves food, but not in the way you might think. He saved someone’s life. A person taking the tour, began choking on their meal!

Thankfully, Scott is certified in CPR and clearly it came in handy. Although he’d been trained for years, he even had some doubts doing it in real life, with someone’s life in danger for the first time.

So, Scott wins the hitmakers award and before Scott can even go and accept it, Scott is leading another tour a few days before and someone starts choking -- again! Of course, Scott saved her as well! A true superhero!

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
