"You have six months to repay £500,000 before we foreclose."
The bank manager sat there as cold as ice as he made his stern declaration.
The day the bank gave me six months to repay half a million pounds was the day my world cracked open. The weight of it crushed my chest—loyal employees, people who depended on me, my entire future hanging by a thread.
I had built something incredible. A £4 million-a-year business. And now, it was slipping through my fingers.
Six months later, it was gone.
I escaped bankruptcy by the skin of my teeth, working three jobs just to survive. The pain of that loss burned deep, but something inside me refused to stay buried. I knew I was here for something more.
That collapse wasn’t an ending. It was a doorway. A call to something greater.
The Search for Deeper Meaning
Everything I had built before was rooted in strategy—marketing, growth, success. But as I rebuilt, something shifted.
Marketing wasn’t just a tactic. It was a vehicle for transformation. A way to share ideas that elevate, inspire, and move humanity forward.
I began coaching, sharing the hard-won lessons from the ashes, guiding others to build businesses rooted not just in profit, but in purpose. But something was still missing.
I had spent years obsessed with human connection, storytelling, and ethical marketing, searching for that something. Then, connecting the dots from my spirtual learnings I realised I had found it when, in November 2022, AI exploded onto the scene, I saw something few others did.
AI: The Catalyst for a Global Awakening
AI wasn't a threat, it was an opportunity. Like a digital extension of consciousness I saw it could amplify truth, to expand impact, to awaken new possibilities.
I dropped everything. Every project. Every distraction. I spent weeks immersed in code, in prompts, in the sheer potential, sleeping barely four hours a night, fueled by a vision of what AI could bring.
I went all in on AI.
Not to replace human creativity—but to elevate it. Not to automate away connection—but to deepen it.
The Unlimited Movement: A New Era of AI-Driven Marketing
Today, my work is about leading a global movement of creators, coaches, and visionaries who refuse to be left behind.
Through keynotes, content and the Unlimited Movement, I empower individuals to use AI to amplify their message, reach their ideal audience and build a business aligned with their soul's purpose.
AI is reshaping the world. This is our moment to shape how it’s used.
The ones who embrace AI with heart and intention will lead the future.
Meet Colin Scotland
Your Guide to Conscious Creation in the Age of AI
I was born and raised in Liverpool, England. I spend my time outside of work with my family, Kayaking and hill-walking in the English Lake District. I love to learn new skills, I play acoustic guitar and sing, I love chess puzzles, I have a second degree black belt in Japanese Jujitsu and a black belt in BJJ.
All of the time. One of my favourite quotes is by Jordan Peterson: “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.” I remind myself of this quote when I find myself feeling unworthy and comparing myself to others who are further ahead on the journey, or when that little voice in my head whispers: "Colin, who do you think you are?"
Daily practice and lots of inner work has given me a resilience and grounding that means when the flaming arrows of doubt and hardship come I am more resilient. Doesn't make it any easier, but I have the drive and purpose to keep going. The ground may shake but the foundation is strong. I work on strengthening the foundation daily through prayer, meditation, journalling, and movement.
Connectedness, and awakening of the higher self. I didn’t realise I had emotions until I hit 40, I’m still learning how to connect with them. 40 was the age at which I felt like I woke up for the first time. Connecting to my higher self changed everything. I went from struggling to make ends meet to endless abundance almost instantly.
As the Chinese proverb says: “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time, is now.” The moment you are in right now is the only one you have. It is in this moment that you can choose to make a difference for you, your family and the people who desperately need to hear your message. Choose your next actions wisely...
