Daily Boost - Motivation and Coaching

Freedom and Growth Between the Lines Are you a fun-loving, carefree person who prefers to drift with the wind? Are you happier following the rules and staying within the lines? Whichever you are, happiness and success will arrive when you combine both: 1) Too much flexibility in life doesn’t allow for compounding your life experience. Like money in the bank, leave it alone once you know what works. 2) Too much structure will limit your ability to discover growth opportunities. Don’t get stuck. Donnie and Marie said it best in the ’70s, “I’m a little bit country, he’s a little bit rock and roll.” Combine the best of both.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You're Building Your Life Backwards October 21, 2025 | Episode 5207 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Smart people are doing it backwards right now. Even people who studied this exact thing in college are forgetting the basics. They're chasing respect before they can pay rent. They're demanding acceptance while their life's falling apart. Scott breaks down why 2025 has been so damn hard and what Abraham Maslow figured out in 1954 that still works today. No shortcuts. No hacks. Just the sequential steps you actually need to climb. Spoiler: You can't skip steps just because you're 21 and think the world is different now. Featured Story Scott's been having the same conversation over and over the past few weeks with successful people who've somehow forgotten what they learned in college. They're college-educated. They know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. But when Scott reminds them what they studied at university, they go, "Oh yeah, I forgot about it." Here's the thing that keeps coming up: people are trying to build the top floors before they've laid the foundation. They want self-actualization and respect while they can't feed themselves or feel safe. Scott calls it building without a peaceful base. And in a year as hard as 2025 has been—politically, financially, with AI throwing monkey wrenches everywhere—more people are doing this than ever. Even his son-in-law thinks he has to fix his entire hurricane-damaged house by himself when he's surrounded by a church community ready to help. Sometimes the basics are right in front of you. Important Points Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time—forget the elevator, you've got to climb the steps to the top. If you can't feed yourself, feel safe, or maintain good relationships, you're not ready to help others or reach your full potential yet. Humans figured out how to build this whole world without AI, and things that have worked forever still work today—don't get distracted. Memorable Quotes "What a man can be, he must be. You feel it inside your bones." "I don't think you have to wait to become the person you're meant to be. I think you were put on this planet as that person." "If you can't feed yourself, if you don't have good relationships, if you're not happy, how could you possibly go out and help other people?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Take inventory of where you are in Maslow's five levels—physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Build your peaceful base first by handling the basics like shelter, money, relationships, and feeling safe before chasing bigger goals. Stop demanding respect and acceptance from others until you've mastered the previous levels—what you can be, you must be, but in the right order.

You're getting distracted and you don't even know it. Your attention gets grabbed, you become interested, and suddenly you're doing things that weren't on your plan. I'm going to walk you through two advertising principles that explain exactly how this happens. One shows how your mind naturally works. The other shows where you are right now. Understanding these will change how you move through your day. You'll see why you drift off course and how to use your own brain to stay focused on what actually matters. Featured Story The other day I was driving and the red lights came on my dash. Temperature dropped to 31 degrees here in Florida. I became acutely aware that I had a problem. Low tire pressure. So now I'm thinking about where to get free air. Because free air is hard to find these days. But I know one place that has it. That's the whole process right there. I went from completely unaware to taking action because I understood exactly where I was in the awareness stages. Important Points Your attention gets grabbed all day long by bosses, friends, and advertisers using the AIDA model—they get your attention, build your interest, create desire, and move you to action before you realize what happened. You can be in one of five awareness stages right now: completely unaware of your problem, aware something's wrong, looking for solutions, knowing which product or person can help, or actively implementing solutions across your whole life. The same mental process that distracts you can work for your benefit when you deliberately use it to grab your own attention and stay interested in what moves you toward your big-ass goal. Memorable Quotes "Something's going to get your attention today, and after that, you're going to become interested. You're going to go, oh, what's that?" "You can be interested and desire things that maybe aren't good for you or maybe take you totally off track, and now you find yourself going down that road instead of the other road you wanted to go down." "It's built into your brain. It'll make you sane." Scott's Three-Step Approach Track your awareness level daily by asking yourself what's grabbing your attention and whether those things align with where you want to go instead of drifting through your day on autopilot. Identify which awareness stage you're in for each area of your life—are you unaware, problem aware, solution aware, product aware, or most aware—so you know exactly what you need next. Deliberately use the AIDA model for yourself by choosing what gets your attention, staying interested in things that matter, building desire for your actual goals, and taking action on your terms.

It's the end of the year and you're thinking about what's next. But here's what most people get wrong about goals. I'm not talking about those 10-year vision things or tiny incremental goals. I'm talking about something so big it changes how you live right now. A goal that's actually worth your time has to grab your attention and redirect your entire day. And you don't build to it over months or years. You start living it today. Featured Story I just got off my 7 a.m. Wednesday morning call with my inner circle. Two years ago, I would've hated that idea. But this group? They're doing the work. We spent the whole call talking about what it means to set a goal that's actually big enough to matter. The holiday chaos is happening. We're all wrapping up the year, buying presents, eating too much, dealing with everything. But underneath all that noise, we're thinking about next year. And the question isn't just "what do I want?" It's "what am I willing to live right now?" Important Points Your big-ass goal isn't about your career or your health or your relationships separately—it's the whole picture of the life you want to live, and everything else has to support that vision. If your goal doesn't grab your attention and run with it, it's not big enough, because a real goal directs everything you do instead of waiting for leftover minutes at the end of your day. You don't build to your goal over time—you start living it today by doing only the actions that align with who you're trying to become, even if it's not perfect yet. Memorable Quotes "A goal so big that you see yourself living it today, even though it's not exactly what you want it to be, but you know you're on your way because you're doing it every day anyway." "I know you don't know, but if you did, what would it be? In that moment, hope and inspiration arrive. And that feeling arrives." "You might not know what to call it, you might not know exactly what it looks like. You don't even know how to spell it, man. You know what it feels like." Scott's Three-Step Approach Define your big-ass goal as the complete picture of the life you want—not divided into categories, but as one integrated vision that includes your career, relationships, health, and impact on the world. Make your goal big enough that it demands your attention every single day and start living it immediately instead of building a plan to get there eventually. Simplify everything else in your life by clearing out the clutter and complications that keep you from living in your goal right now.

Ever meet someone who wants to be great at something but has no idea where to start? That was me in a sauna on Thanksgiving morning, talking to a young guy who wanted to be a motivational speaker. He had the passion but zero clue about the path forward. Sound familiar? I shared a classic Zig Ziglar lesson about the stages of competence that changed my life years ago. Turns out, knowing what stage you're in makes all the difference. Because you can't get where you're going if you don't know where you are. Featured Story Thanksgiving morning. My wife kicked me out of the kitchen, so I hit the gym. After my workout, I headed to the sauna. Young guy in there, polite enough to get off his phone. We started talking. He's a locksmith, but what he really wants? To be a motivational speaker. Problem is, he had no idea how to get there. No content. No roadmap. Just the desire and some friends who said he pumped them up. I've been there. I've done 12,000 podcasts. I knew exactly where he was stuck. So I spent the next 20 minutes in a hot sauna walking him through the stages every beginner goes through. We talked until our heart rates went crazy and we had to bail. I'll probably never see him again. But I got to do what someone once did for me. Pass it forward. Important Points You don't know what you don't know when you start something new, and that's perfectly normal—everyone around you gets it, even if you feel like a dummy. Admitting "I have no idea what I'm doing" changed everything for me, and it'll change things for you too because pretending to know blocks real learning. The final stage isn't just being competent yourself—it's recognizing and developing the unconscious competence in others, which is where real impact happens. Memorable Quotes "You cannot replace experience. You just can't." "Some of the best motivation I've ever had in my life, I did not like the person when they delivered that lesson." "The ability to recognize and develop the unconscious competence of others." Scott's Three-Step Approach Accept that you're an unconscious incompetent when starting anything new, and embrace that stage instead of pretending you know more than you do. Move to conscious incompetence by admitting what you don't know, which opens the door to real learning and removes the pressure of having all the answers. Work toward conscious competence where you know you're good, then use that knowledge to help others recognize their own unconscious competence.

I just hosted Thanksgiving for 15 people. Youngest was my grandson Evan at four months old. Oldest? That was me, cutting the turkey and saying the prayer. How did I get here? Same way you'll get where you want to go. By deciding what you want, paying the price, and taking massive imperfect action. As we head into year-end planning, I'm sharing the wisdom that separates dreamers from achievers. Less tactics, more framing for how to approach 2026 like someone who actually gets stuff done. Featured Story Picture this: I'm standing at the head of the table, carving the turkey, pouring the wine, saying the prayer. When did I go from sitting at the kids table to being the elder? Tick tock. That's what hit me hardest. Time doesn't wait. My son couldn't make it from Portland this year. The youngest at our table was four and a half months old. Beautiful boy, Evan. And somehow I became the beautiful man at the head of the table. The clock is ticking on whatever you want. There are benefits to getting older, sure. But the real benefit is learning that waiting costs you everything. Important Points The bigger your dreams, the bigger your problems you'll need to solve. If you want what nobody else has, you'll solve problems nobody else will. It feels hard because you're going against the herd, and that's exactly how it should be. The future value of your life depends on the current value of your effort. Most people fill their days with low-value activities like organizing their hard drive. High achievers focus on high-value work that actually moves them forward. Never ending massive imperfect action is the key to everything. People who really want something make a big mess. I make a terrible mess. Part of working with me is cleaning up after me, because I'd rather take imperfect action than perfect inaction. Memorable Quotes "The future value of your life and your business depends on the current value of your effort." "You are the boss of you and it's a problem. Because since we're the boss of ourselves, we don't have to listen to ourselves, do we?" "Learning feels like you're doing, but you're not. You're not getting stuff done. So learn what you need to learn, then go do something with it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Decide specifically what you want and own it completely. Don't ask ChatGPT about your goals. Don't wait for permission. Write down what's in your heart and say that's what you're going to do. Anything less is what ordinary people do, and you're not ordinary. Start early and do first things first. Get the most important work done before the day begins, before emails arrive, before the phone rings. Pick your first task, finish it, then move to the next. No multitasking. Just systematic progress until it's done. Take massive imperfect action without accepting your excuses. Make a mess. You can clean it up later or have someone else clean it up for you. The key is getting moving, not getting it perfect. Chapter Notes 0:00 - Post-Thanksgiving wisdom on massive action 2:45 - Why bigger dreams mean bigger problems to solve 4:20 - The mistake of not owning your goals completely 5:35 - Start early: doing important work before day begins 6:50 - Deep work changes everything: two hours daily 8:15 - Massive imperfect action beats perfect planning Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

My wife Joy is a creature of habit. She has a rule. After Thanksgiving, nobody goes to a restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner until every single piece of Thanksgiving food is gone. Magically, it always lasts right through Sunday evening. One year we went to someone else's house for Thanksgiving. Joy brought leftovers home. The next day she went to the store, came back, and started cooking. I'm thinking you've been cooking for days. You brought leftovers home. What are you cooking? She said she's cooking leftovers. She purchased a small turkey and all the ingredients to keep her routine for the weekend. Featured Story I wanted a dog that looked good in my Jeep. Got an Australian Shepherd named Levi because Border Collies are crazy and Aussies are just stubborn. Turns out I should've gotten the crazy dog because the stubborn one is exactly like his dad. I made rookie mistakes training Levi. One day my trainer said something that changed everything. For a dog, one time means all the time. Every time you let them do something new, they're just going to keep doing it. That applies to more than dogs. Joi schedules everything. I literally schedule a spontaneous Saturday date for her. I tell my wife to put in her predictable routine that we're going to be spontaneous on Saturday so she's okay with it. Don't surprise her. A couple years ago we went elsewhere for Thanksgiving and Joy had a real problem. She has a routine. When a certain time of year comes, she gets the recipes out and does the thing. Now she's not doing the thing. The look on her face when I figured out what she was doing. Cheating leftovers. She was lying to me about leftovers. Important Points For a dog, one time means all the time, and that principle applies to building habits and routines in your own life too. What makes you happy might seem crazy to someone else, but if it brings you joy, just do what you do. Respecting other people's routines and quirks is easier when you understand they need those patterns to be happy. Memorable Quotes "For a dog, one time means all the time. Every time you let him do something new, they're just going to keep doing it." "I literally schedule a spontaneous Saturday date for her. She has to know we're going to be spontaneous on Saturday." "Do leftovers make you happy? What makes you happy? Do what you do. Just do what you do." Scott's Three-Step Approach Understand that consistency creates happiness for some people, even if their routines seem excessive to you. Figure out what actually makes you happy and build those patterns into your life without apology. If you're married to someone with strong routines, just go with it and maybe hide half the Thanksgiving food so everyone gets leftovers. Chapter Notes 1:15 - Holiday season stress and choosing to be happy 2:18 - Getting Levi: wanted a dog for my Jeep 3:17 - Dog training wisdom that applies to everything 3:50 - Joi is a creature of habit and routine 4:51 - The serious nature of the leftover problem 5:53 - She was cooking leftovers that weren't leftovers 7:05 - This year's solution: double the food, hide half Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://DailyBoostPodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Thanksgiving. My entire family comes over today. Four kids between us, six grandkids including a four-month-old. Some in-laws too. This is the place to come now and I'm so grateful for it. I also understand it won't go on forever. Guys miss the whole grateful thing sometimes. I wrote A Gratitude Journal for Men a few years ago because I kept seeing men treat gratitude like another task. Like something they have to go do. Just be grateful. That's all. But in our fast-paced world, the daily activities fly by and get forgotten. So today I'm sharing some of my favorite gratitude quotes and a little scotumtary in between. Featured Story I had a real feeling when I got up to record this. I was feeling very grateful. Maybe it's the time of year. But I wanted to dive into what I haven't thought about lately. Not just expand on all the things I'm grateful for, but recognize the ones I've been missing. Sometimes it's hard to admit you don't live in gratitude. That's why the wisdom of others is so cool. Little things we blow off turn out to be really big. I've got regrets. When someone tells me they have no regrets, I say liar. Maybe you've found a way to deal with them, but we all have them. Usually my regrets involve little things I didn't pay attention to that turned out to be really big. Important Points Enjoy the little things because one day you'll look back and realize they were actually the big things all along. If you're not thankful for what's in your hand right now, you won't be thankful for what you're going to get either. Gratitude must be produced, discharged, and used up for it to exist at all, like electricity that disappears if not actively generated. Memorable Quotes "Enjoy the little things. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things." "If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get." "Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity. It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all." Scott's Three-Step Approach Write three things you're grateful for before bed each night to reset your brain and build the gratitude habit. Stop treating gratitude like another task on your to-do list and just be grateful for what's already in your hand. Look for the little things today because they're probably the big things you'll remember years from now. Chapter Notes 1:14 - Family Thanksgiving and feeling grateful this morning 1:49 - Why guys miss the whole gratitude thing 2:34 - First wisdom: enjoy the little things quote 3:39 - Collection of gratitude wisdom from great thinkers 5:37 - Gratitude is like electricity, produce it or lose it 6:24 - Buddhist proverb: enough is a feast 7:11 - Transform common days into thanksgivings Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://DailyBoostPodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

You have an ideology whether you know it or not. Not political. We're not going there. I'm talking about your personal rulebook. The boundaries you set. The values you stand for. Who you actually are when nobody's watching. If you haven't decided who you are, the world will decide for you. They'll tell you who you're going to be and that's how you'll get treated. I created something years ago called a Who I Am document. It's my operating manual. My personal constitution. It establishes what I believe and serves as my foundation for growth and change. Featured Story A client went political in the first 30 seconds of our group coaching call. What's a guy to do when that happens? I let it go for about 30 seconds then closed it off. But by the end of the call, something became clear. She's so stuck in who she thinks she is that she won't listen to anybody else. I don't understand that concept. I know who I am. I have my own values. But I'm open to just about anything. You have a better way to lose weight than mine? I'm not going to defend my way. I'll listen and take yours if it works better. That's the difference between knowing who you are and being stuck in who you think you are. Important Points If you don't decide who you are, the world decides for you and that determines how you get treated every single day. Your personal ideology is your rulebook for life including how you see yourself, how you respond to situations, and who you hang out with. Writing a Who I Am document forces you to be honest about who you really are, not who you think you are or want to be. Memorable Quotes "If you haven't decided what you're all about, then everybody else is just going to decide what you're all about and that's how you're going to get treated." "You hang out with somebody that doesn't share your values? You're compromising. You're now becoming them." "You can't be a grown ass adult if you don't know who you are, can you?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Document who you really are by writing down how you see yourself, how others see you, and how you'd like to be seen. Define your non-negotiables including the values people must share to be in your life and how you respond in different situations. Track yourself daily to discover who you really are versus who you think you are because the answers will surprise you. Chapter Notes 1:05 - Personal ideology: it's about you not politics 1:56 - Do you really know who you are? 3:04 - Ideology defined: what you stand for in the world 4:05 - Creating my Who I Am document years ago 5:03 - Three questions that reveal everything about you 7:12 - Who you hang out with defines who you become 8:43 - Daily awareness diary tracks the real you Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://DailyBoostPodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

You're sitting around waiting for your shot. Someone else is losing sleep because they can't find you. They have a problem only you can solve. A gap only you can fill. But they don't know you exist yet. My mother-in-law taught me this years ago and it changed everything about how I approach opportunity. She didn't let me sit around hoping things would work out. She kicked my butt and told me the truth. Somebody needs what you have to offer right now. Your only job? Go find them. Featured Story I walked into my boss's office at the radio station and quit. I'd been working production, making commercials in the back room. Not my thing. I knew podcasting was coming and I had to get out. He asked me how I could just walk away from security, benefits, vacation time. How could I be so sure something better was waiting? I told him what my mother-in-law taught me. Between that radio station and my house, about 15 miles, somebody was sitting in their office right then with a problem. They were saying, "If I could just find someone to fix this for me." They were losing sleep because they didn't know I existed. My job was to go find them. Important Points Someone right now needs exactly what you have to offer but they're stuck because they don't know you exist yet. Waiting around hoping things work out is the opposite of understanding that people are actively looking for you to solve their problem. Your job isn't to hope or pray for opportunity but to go find the people who need you and let them know you're here. Memorable Quotes "Somebody out there needs what you have to offer. They don't even know you exist. So get out there and let them know you exist." "There is somebody right now in a business that has a problem. They're losing sleep because they don't know you exist." "When I want to grow my business, I just reach out to find people who need me and boy, they're out there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop waiting for someone else to lift your dreams or hoping opportunity finds you while you sit at home. Shift your mindset from "I hope this works out" to understanding that someone is actively looking for what you offer. Go find the people who need you by getting out there, banging on doors, talking to people, and making yourself known. Chapter Notes 1:09 - Survey results: you want mindset shifts not lists 2:29 - Movie theaters and roller rinks in the 70s 3:16 - Life gets in the way of fantasy dreams 5:15 - Mother-in-law's advice that changed everything 6:15 - Walking away from security at the radio station 7:46 - Simple concept: somebody needs what you have Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://DailyBoostPodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Your morning routine is broken. Not because you're doing it wrong. But because you're doing what someone else told you works for them. I tried all the guru stuff. The ice baths, the 5 a.m. productivity sprints, the meditation marathons. Some of it worked. Most of it didn't. I spent years punishing myself with morning routines that looked perfect on paper but made my life worse. Then I asked myself one simple question that changed everything. It's not about what you should do. It's about what serves the life you're actually trying to build. Featured Story I wasn't always a morning person. When I started in radio at 18, I'd stand in the shower thinking about how long I could keep getting up at 4 a.m. Later in my career, I'd hit my desk by 5 a.m., pounding through my to-do list like my life depended on it. But I was miserable. Then I swung the other way. Spent a couple years doing the personal development morning. Reading, meditating, taking care of myself before heading to the gym. I got in better shape. My bank account shrank. My future goals felt unreachable. One day I got frustrated and asked myself one question. That question put everything in perspective. It wasn't about productivity or personal care. It was about something bigger. Important Points Traditional morning routines fall into two camps: personal development or productivity, but neither one serves everyone all the time. The magic isn't in following someone else's perfect morning formula but in asking what serves the life you're designing. Flexibility beats rigidity when your routine adapts to what matters most that day instead of following the same order forever. Memorable Quotes "Stand your butt up. Just stand up and then take a step in the direction you want to go and just keep going until you get it." "Everything works to some level, but does it work for you?" "What's the first thing I should do tomorrow morning that if I do, will allow me to live the life that I design?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself the night before what one thing tomorrow morning will serve the life you're designing, not what's on your to-do list. Build flexibility into your routine so some days it's work, some days it's wind therapy on a motorcycle, some days it's grandkids. Stop punishing yourself with morning rituals that look perfect but make your life worse in the ways that actually matter. Chapter Notes 1:02 - Your habits are your life, choose wisely 1:33 - Andrew Huberman and why ice baths are stupid 2:24 - Two morning groups and the satisfying third option 3:18 - Confessions of a guy who hated mornings 4:34 - Little fairies running through my fingers at 5am 5:21 - The one question that changed everything for me 6:42 - My actual morning routine without the BS Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: motivationtomove.com YouTube: youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: Join the Daily Boost Community Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Description Ever feel like you're stuck on repeat? I'm celebrating my birthday today and starting a new nine-year life cycle. Yeah, you read that right. About 25 years ago, a spiritual pastor taught me something that changed how I see patterns in my life. It's a nine-year cycle that repeats over and over. Once I learned it, I started seeing it everywhere. Not just in my life, but in every coaching client I've shared it with. Each year has its own energy and purpose. And knowing where you are in the cycle? That changes everything about how you approach your next move. Featured Story It's my birthday today and I'm in year three of my cycle. That means the resources I need are arriving. I've spent the last two years looking around, deciding I wanted to do things differently with the show. New theme music, new direction, all of it. And now? Everything I need is showing up. I'm excited. I want to go. But I've learned to trust the pattern because I've seen it work at least two and a half times in my life. This isn't woo-woo wishful thinking. It's practical wisdom wrapped in a spiritual truth. The kind that makes successful people like you take notice and say, "Wait, that actually makes sense." Important Points Life operates in repeatable nine-year cycles that start with seeking and end with clearing space for what's next. Each year serves a specific purpose from decision-making to intense focus to letting go of what no longer serves you. Understanding where you are in your cycle removes confusion and gives you permission to change everything when the time is right. Memorable Quotes "Stand your butt up. Just stand up and then take a step in the direction you want to go and just keep going until you get it." "I'm not the most woo-woo guy on the planet, but I got some woo-woo in me. I'm a very practical guy." "If you're asking for new and you haven't cleaned up your mess first, you're just going to get more mess." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify where you are in your nine-year cycle by looking at what's naturally happening in your life right now. Stop fighting the patterns and work with them instead of wondering why things feel off or perfectly aligned. Use each year's energy intentionally whether you're deciding, building, intensifying, or clearing space for what's next.

Another year flying by? Another birthday that came too fast? I get it. Time feels like it's speeding up every single year. But what if I told you that you can actually slow time down? Not with some weird trick, but by understanding how your brain processes time. When you rush around all day, time flies. When you slow down and focus deeply on what matters, time expands. I've been studying Einstein's theory of relativity and Benjamin Hardy's work on extreme goals, and I'm going to show you how to take control of your time starting today. Featured Story My birthday's coming up. November 21st, if you're wondering. And like clockwork, I catch myself thinking the same thing I think every year. Is it my birthday again already? Didn't we just do this? When I was five years old, waiting for Christmas felt like forever. A year was an eternity. Now? A year feels like a month. But I've figured something out. When I'm rushing around all day, busy-busy-busy, trying to get everything done, time absolutely flies. Days blur into weeks. Weeks blur into years. When I slow down and focus deeply on the work that matters? Time stretches out. The day feels longer. I get more done and still have time left over. That's what relativity looks like in real life. Important Points When you run fast all day trying to get everything done, your entire life speeds up and years fly by before you know it. Slowing down and focusing deeply on essential goals actually makes time expand and gives you all the free time you'll ever need. Setting extreme goals with compressed timelines forces you into deep work mode where time slows down and you accomplish what matters most. Memorable Quotes "When you go fast, fast, fast, everything goes fast. The days, the weeks, the years, your life flies by when you do that." "When you slow down, when you hold space for yourself, things change." "Time slows down and you enjoy your day like you were born to." Scott's Three-Step Approach Set an extreme goal that's so big it almost scares you, then compress the timeline to force your focus on what actually matters. Stop rushing through your to-do list and start holding space for deep work on the essential things that move you toward your goals. Focus on results relevant to your dreams and watch as time magically slows down and you find free time you didn't know existed.

Everyone tells you to find your why. But what if that's backwards? I've had tens of thousands of conversations with people trying to figure out their lives. And I've noticed something controversial: nobody leads with their why. They lead with what they want. The why comes later when things get hard and you need fuel to keep going. Most of your happiness comes from stumbling into things you love, not from some mythical why you discover on a mountaintop. Today I'm pushing back on popular advice and sharing what actually works when you're trying to build the life you want. Featured Story My wife once told me she decided to date a bad boy. That bad boy was me. Then when I asked her to marry me, she said yes. But she also said something that made me laugh: "I figured out you're just a little bit bad. Mostly good." We used to plan these elaborate dates. Dinner, dancing, the whole production. Those nights were usually just okay. But the nights we stumbled into with zero planning? Those were magic. That's how life works too. You can be intentional all you want, but sometimes the best stuff happens when you're just bumbling around and something sticks. Important Points Your passion isn't sitting out there waiting to be discovered. You trip and stumble into it when you're out there trying things and something clicks. People don't lead with why. They lead with what they want. I've seen this play out thousands of times in real conversations with real people. The why becomes critical when you're chasing something so big it scares you. That's when you need to know why you're doing it to keep going. Memorable Quotes "Life is long. You're going to change. I have people all the time say, Scott, you're not the same guy you were 20 years ago. That's the whole point." "What happens if you have no idea what you want, but still the good things keep arriving in your life?" "If you just bumble and stumble around, find the what you like, it won't be long before you find purpose. And purpose becomes your why." Scott's Three-Step Approach Get up and take a step. Stop overthinking your why and start trying things. When you find something you like, stick with it a little bit. Focus on the what first. Ask yourself what you want to do, not why you want to do it. The why reveals itself when the work gets hard. Let purpose become your why. When you're doing something long enough and you're committed to it, your purpose becomes clear and that's your real why.

You make smart business decisions all day long. ROI calculations. Risk assessments. Strategic planning. Then five o'clock hits and you clock out. Suddenly you're just winging it with your personal life. Wild, right? I spent years consulting business owners on quarterly goals and customer journeys. One day a successful client had this lightbulb moment: "I wish my personal life was this organized." That's when it clicked for me too. The same tools that build million-dollar businesses work for building the life you actually want. No separation needed. Just one you with one life that all blends together. Featured Story I'm sitting with a client mapping quarterly revenue targets and conversion rates. He's taking notes. Nodding. Excited about the plan. Then he stops with that look. You know the one. That millisecond when something just clicks in your brain. He says, "Man, I wish my personal life was this organized. I feel like I'm just making it up as I go." I laughed and said, "Well, we all are, aren't we?" Important Points You are one person with one life, and everything blends together whether you admit it or not. Vague goals get vague results, but specific goals get specific results. "I want to be happy" means nothing. "I'm at the gym at 6 a.m. three days a week" is a system you can actually build and measure. Positive ROI or die applies to your life just like it does in business. If you're spending 60% of your time for 10% satisfaction, that's terrible ROI and you wouldn't accept it in business, so why accept it in life? Memorable Quotes "Every day you and I make smart business and job decisions. ROI calculations, risk assessments, strategic planning. And then at five o'clock we clock out and what do we do? We wing it." "You wouldn't invest in your business and continue to get negative returns, would you? But so many people do it in their life." "If you don't know who you are, you cannot build a life that fits you. Just like a business. If a business sells the wrong product to the wrong customer, they do not have a business." Scott's Three-Step Approach Define your avatar. Get specific about who you are right now, not who you were five years ago or who your parents think you should be. What lights you up? What drains you? When do you feel most like yourself? If you don't know who you are, you cannot build a life that fits you. Design your product. Decide exactly what life you want with specific details, not vague wishes. Transform "I want to work out" into "I'm at the gym at 6 a.m. three days a week for 45 minutes." The more specific your solution, the easier it is to build because everything else just falls away. Build your system. Create daily non-negotiables and predictable habits that deliver results. Your habits absolutely dictate your success and happiness in life. If you don't have a system for delivery of you as a person, you're winging it and that's negative ROI all day long.

End of year. Time to reinvent yourself. Sometimes tweaking what you've got just doesn't cut it. Sometimes you need to blow it up and start fresh. I call it creative destruction. This episode digs into why waiting for perfect alignment keeps you stuck. You're tired because you're not inspired. And why your current activity might be completely incompatible with your future self. Ready to stop patching and start building? This conversation gives you permission to make radical changes. No apologies needed. Featured Story I was sitting with a client who looked defeated. Completely stuck. He kept saying he was trying to figure out how to become his future self. But everything he was doing today just wouldn't get him there. He thought he could figure it out. I gave him the shortcut. Ditch it. Do something else. The relief on his face was instant. He didn't need my solution. He needed permission to walk away from what obviously wasn't working so he could figure out what would. That's creative destruction. Not giving up. Clearing space for what's next. Important Points Your current activity might be completely incompatible with your future self, and that's okay. Waiting for stars to align before making a move is exhausting and impossible. Sometimes you can't upgrade what you've got—you have to tear it down first. Memorable Quotes "The reason you're tired is because you're not inspired." "Sometimes you can't go over. Sometimes you can't go around. Sometimes you can't go under. Sometimes you're completely trapped. The only thing you do is blow it up." "Don't worry about what anybody else thinks. You know why? Because as soon as you do it, they're going to say, what took you so long?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Give yourself permission that everything might need to change—not just minor adjustments, but radical shifts in direction. Stop trying to upgrade what's fundamentally broken or incompatible with where you want to go. Embrace the scary moment of decision, then act—everything changes the second you commit to blowing it up.

We're playing off that Jimmy Stewart movie today because you can actually create a wonderful life. And right now—when everyone else is busy looking that way—you can go the other way and make it happen. I'm sharing three stupidly simple ways of thinking that should empower you to make any change you want. No more drifting in the winds of life. It's time to start driving through it instead. Fair warning: it's so simple that the complicated nuance gets in the way. But that's what makes us human. Featured Story I have a friend who writes a book every single year. Done just before Christmas. He keeps telling me, "Scott, you should try it." He's right. I should. I'm on my seventh book and haven't finished any of them. Trust me, I get it. But people actually do this. Friends have written entire books over Thanksgiving weekend. Four days. Book done on Monday. Boom. You know why this works? Because right now through mid-January, everyone's busy. Your boss is busy. Your friends are busy. They're all looking that way while you can go the other way. You can write your book. Start a new business. Clean out your garage if you want to keep it that simple. This is the perfect time to do anything you want when nobody's paying attention to you. Important Points • Everything begins when you become aware of what you want and accept that it's up to you to go get it—in my coaching program, I make people answer nine questions daily for 21 days, and they fight me on it until they see how awareness creates change. • If you believe your dream can be real, all you have to do is start living it right now—want to be a writer, sit down and write, you are one just like that, want to be in shape, go to the gym and be in shape, the click is a millisecond in time. • You are the boss of you, which means you can decide to go on a diet on Monday and not do it because the boss said you didn't have to—nobody else has to give you permission to start or stop anything. Memorable Quotes "Most people are drifting in the winds of life. True happiness arrives when you start driving through life instead of drifting in those winds." "If you believe your dream can be real, as soon as you start living it, it will be. The trick is the click. The click is a millisecond in time and you get it and you make things happen." "You're the boss of you. You can decide to go on a diet on Monday and you don't have to do it. You know why? Because the boss said you didn't have to." Scott's Three-Step Approach • Become aware of what you want and accept personal responsibility to go get it—answer the same questions about your life daily until you become so aware that changes naturally start happening and you can't help but take action. • Believe your dream can be real and start living it immediately without talking about it on ChatGPT or anywhere else—if you want to be a runner, go out the door and run, you are one just like that, could it be that easy, yeah it could. • Recognize you're the boss of you and stop planning, start doing—forget wishing and hoping and dreaming, just start with little bits of happiness and work toward your dream every single day because you decided to.

After 20 years in this chair, I'm seeing something that challenges everything the personal growth world teaches about becoming your future self. What if you're not trying to become someone new? What if the person you're searching for is already inside you, waiting for the right conditions to emerge? I'm sharing a brand new model that came together on a Wednesday morning call. It's not about motivation or forcing change. It's about creating the conditions where that feeling you've been chasing—that thing you just can't quite touch—naturally appears. Featured Story I was sitting on my 7 a.m. Face Your Passion Inner Circle call Wednesday morning, wearing my alpaca hoodie because it's been so damn cold everywhere. Years ago, you'd never have convinced me I'd get out of bed for a 7 a.m. call. But when you hang out with people willing to show up and go all in that early, your life changes. During the call, I shared this emerging model I've been developing. And I watched it happen multiple times—that moment when someone's body language shifts, their breathing changes, and you see them go "Oh." That's where life is lived. Those small moments of emergence. It got me thinking about retirement too. People keep asking if I'm done after 20 years. Now when they ask what I do, I just say I'm retired. They go "Oh, that's good," and we move on. I emerged into being able to say that. Interesting how that works. Important Points • You'll change when you wear yourself out, and that's not negative—it's the natural process of pieces coming together until you finally go, "Oh, I should do this instead of that." • Everybody knows exactly what they want and how they want to feel, but they can't quite describe it—it's that thing you just can't touch, that moment when everything feels good and you think, "Damn, this is good." • Who you want to be isn't your past, present, or future self—it's an emergent property that appears when conditions are right, like consciousness emerging from neural activity or life emerging from chemistry. Memorable Quotes "You will change when you wear yourself out. You want motivation? If life is not going the way you want it to go, it's okay. You'll get tired one day, you'll change." "I believe that everybody knows exactly what they want, how they want to feel, but they can't quite describe it. It's that thing you just can't touch." "The Person who you actually are emerges. That mythical me, that person inside of you where we're like, if I could only get this feeling all the time, is it possible? Yes, it is." Scott's Three-Step Approach • Accumulate wisdom through pattern recognition across all domains of your life—it's not just reading more books or living longer, it's the integration of learning with actual living and understanding principles through experience. • Practice consistency over intensity by showing up regardless of motivation and building a bridge between your accumulated wisdom and future intentions through sequential daily action in actual conditions. • Navigate the messy middle instead of trying to escape it—get tools and techniques to manage the collision zone where life, home, and inner self converge, because that's where the magic happens and where you'll emerge.

That voice in your head keeps nudging you in a direction. You hear the same message from different sources. Random conversations suddenly feel connected. Is something trying to get your attention? I'm a practical guy who doesn't chase unicorns, but I can't ignore what happens when life starts dropping hints. As we head into winter and the holidays, messages have a way of getting louder. Most people already know what direction they should be going. They're just not willing to lean into it. This episode breaks down how to recognize when something's genuinely calling for your attention and what to do about it before you drive yourself crazy sitting on the fence. Featured Story It's 36 degrees in my Daytona Beach studio with a wind chill at 31. I'm wrapped in my alpaca hoodie thinking about how this time of year shifts us into reflection mode. I've coached thousands of people over the years, and something wild keeps happening. I'll share an insight with someone, and they'll look at me like I'm reading their mind. "Are you inside my head?" they ask. Kind of. Because we're all just humans navigating the same patterns. For me, the universe whispers all day long. I believe God created it, so those whispers feel like guidance. You can have whatever belief you want. But after years of coaching and living, I've noticed messages come in triplicate. Three times is when I start paying real attention. Hard-headed and distracted as I am, even I can't ignore the pattern by the third time. Important Points When seemingly random situations and people deliver the same message within a short time frame, your path is being altered whether you recognize it or not. You already know what direction you should be going, and if you're heading the wrong way, you know that too—you're just not willing to lean into what's obvious. When something gets your attention, you've got three choices: say yes and go for it, say no and move on, or sit on the fence getting splinters forever. Memorable Quotes "Most people already know kind of what direction they should be going. And usually if they're going the wrong direction, they kind of already know that. They're just not willing to lean into it." "If it starts getting your attention, it's real. Anything that gets your attention, it's going to take you down the road." "Eventually you will change when you wear yourself out. When you get tired of rejecting what is obvious that you have to do, you're going to do it anyway." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice the pattern. Pay attention when the same message appears through different people, situations, or sources within days or a week—that's your signal something matters. Ask what you're supposed to learn. When patterns emerge, stop resisting and get curious about the lesson or direction being presented to you. Choose and act. Make the call—yes, no, or fence-sitting—but know that fence-sitting just delays the inevitable while causing unnecessary pain.

Think having a word of the year means picking one generic term and calling it good? I tried that. It didn't work. Last year I went with "joyful" and it was solid. But this year I realized something during an Inner Circle call that changed everything. One word isn't enough if it doesn't tell you exactly what to do. My clients were throwing out words like "focused" and "determined," and I could see it in their faces. They were trapped. Today I'm sharing why I broke the rules and went with two words instead of one. You'll learn how to make your word actually mean something and why high concept thinking beats generic motivation every time. Featured Story I named last year "joiful" after my wife. J-O-I full. Her name is Joi, so I got to tell her all year that I named my year after her. Smart move on my part. But honestly, I did it because happiness kept slipping away. I realized we're not here to be happy all the time. Life gets hard. But we can be joyful in any situation. That shift mattered. This year I needed something different. Something more specific. I started with "simple" because I've been saying for 20 years that simple works. But when I tested it with my Inner Circle, I saw the problem immediately. Simple what? Simple where? It was too broad to actually use. That's when I decided to break the rules. Important Points A word of the year only works if it's high concept. You should instantly know what it means and how to use it when you see or hear it. Generic words like "focused" or "determined" sound good but don't give you direction. If your word could apply to everything, it applies to nothing. Sometimes you need to empower your word with a second word to make it specific enough to matter. Don't be trapped by someone else's rules. Memorable Quotes "I like simple. Simple works. I've said this for 20 years on this program." "When it's everywhere, it becomes really, really washed out, and you just can't do much with it." "So my one word is two, strategically simple. I'm going to break the rules." Scott's Three-Step Approach Make your word high concept so anyone who hears it instantly understands what you mean. If it needs explanation, it's not the right word. Test your word by asking where it applies. If the answer is "everywhere," you need to get more specific or add context. Don't be afraid to empower your word with a second word that defines how you'll use it. Rules are meant to be broken when they don't serve you.
