Formulating Solutions is a powerful, entertaining, and instructive book about how one person with humility and vision built a world-class business. Anyone who ever dreamed of running their own business should start by reading this book. P. Scott doesn't shy away from how difficult it is, yet you see through his story how human ingenuity can solve practically any problem. You also see his character on every page and come to easily understand why it is the real secret of his success. - Senator Bill Bradley, US Senator, Rhodes Scholar, Olympic & NBA Hall of Famer, national radio host, and bestselling author Creating a successful innovation partnership between two companies is always a challenge. The degree of difficulty goes up dramatically when one is small but mighty, like MonoSol, and the other is a giant like P&G. Under Scott's leadership, MonoSol became a trusted innovation, development, and business partner that worked in tandem with P&G to create the transformational Tide Pods business, solving many difficult problems along the way. We are forever grateful. - KATHY FISH, Former Chief Research, Development, and Innovation Officer at Procter & Gamble; Vice-Chair of the USA Swimming, Balchem & Origin Materials Boards of Directors A large part of the story of MonoSol-and the story of Scott's leadership-comes down to talent: constantly assessing if you have the right folks in the right seats and then motivating those individuals to rise to their highest potential. That example provides an important perspective and lesson for any aspiring business leader. - Jonathan Owsley, Managing Partner, L Catterton Growth Fund, Middlebury College and Cornell Law School Entrepreneur, CEO, chemist, athlete, musician, race car driver, trusted friend. Scott possesses a unique combination of business acumen, product knowledge, drive to succeed, and humanity. Read this book! - Tony Kester,
