Business ProfileforScott Powers Studios, Inc.

There's much to be said about Scott Powers Studios, but not all is good. I had a frightening and hurtful experience with Scott Powers regarding my payment for one of the classes. I've usually been very good at paying for the classes in installments. Still, I knew I needed more time to pay for my most recent class due to finances being incredibly tight lately, and the rent being taken care of. I sent an email explaining to Scott that I could make the full payment after the session ended due to the rent needing to be paid and my work hours at my day job being sharply reduced, and I thought that would be enough. Fifteen minutes later, I received an email from Scott saying that I was removed from the class due to my inability to pay before the last session.I called him shortly afterward and explained the situation again, but what happened next could be best described as guilt-tripping and shaming tactics that shook me. Scott told me that "I dug my own grave" because of my inability to keep my promises, that "my reputation is ruined," and "I ruined everything for everyone else" because of my "niceness for weakness." While in tears, I eventually paid the remaining balance that day.I didn't appreciate being hurt and taken advantage of in that way. And I would never mistake niceness for weakness or ruin my reputation when I want to ensure that I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and my bills paid for the month. That's not me at all! Using shaming and guilt tactics to get what you want so everyone can stay on your good side is not an excellent way to do business. As an abuse survivor, I'm reliving my childhood of being mentally and emotionally abused again after what I experienced with Scott Powers. I may be one of the few people speaking out about this experience, but I would be grateful if you could think twice when dealing with someone like this. After what happened to me, I'm unsure if I will ever retake classes with Scott Powers Studios.
