Doug Scott is an avid Oregon Ducks fan, a native Oregonian, a software product manager, and he’s the Co-Host of the QB11 Show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

I met Doug through Twitter, and reached out to him because I wanted to not only find someone to come on and talk some Ducks football, but I wanted to find the right person. Someone with a story to tell. And in this episode, Doug does just that.

We go straight to the deep end as he opens up about living in rural Oregon, being the child of divorce and what it was like growing up with an absentee father.

We discuss his mother’s impact on him and what he learned from watching her hustle to make sure Doug and his sister didn’t go without.

Later in the episode, we weave through Doug’s career trajectory and his time working as a pharmacy technician, before ultimately landing in the software engineering and product management space.

After that, we spend some time nerding out and reminiscing on Oregon football, how he initially became a fan, how he became a podcaster, grading the Dan Lanning Era to this point, the expectations for the Ducks heading into the Big 10, some of his favorite players from over the years, some gameday best tips, and finally, his realest talk.
