Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Stop Chasing Symptoms - Fix the Real Problem August 8, 2025 | Episode 5155 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel completely stuck trying to figure something out? You're spinning your wheels, and nobody seems to get what you're going through. Well, guess what? You're not alone – everyone on the planet feels exactly like you do sometimes. Scott dives into why we get distracted by a thousand little problems instead of tackling the big one that's really holding us back. He'll show you how to "put a point on it" and stop wasting energy on symptoms when you should be fixing the root cause. Featured Story Scott shares a powerful story about a company wanting to hit a billion dollars in revenue. They think they have five years to get there, but the real pressure? They need it done in three years, maybe even one. Picture the C-suite after hours, whiskey flowing, everyone scrambling to fix a thousand symptoms while the real problem sits right there staring them in the face. The lesson hits hard: stop treating symptoms and identify what's actually blocking your path. Important Points Most people can't pinpoint the actual problem getting in their way because they're busy fixing easy-to-tackle symptoms instead of the real issue. There are really only two things you need to clearly describe: the goal you're going after and the real problem standing in your way. Nine times out of ten, your real problem comes down to one of three things: money, relationships, or your health. Memorable Quotes "You're not alone. Every single person feels like you." "There's really only one problem in journalism. We would call it burying the lead." "I'll tell you nine times out of 10, it's money. And if it's not money, it's relationships. And if it's not that it's your health." Scott's Three-Step Approach Clearly describe the goal you're going after – if you can't clearly say what it is, you're never going to get it. Clearly describe the real problem getting in your way, not all the little symptoms buzzing around below the surface. Ask yourself honestly: is your real problem money, relationships, or health – because it's usually one of those three things. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes I Peed My Pants Following My Dreams August 7, 2025 | Episode 5154 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott shares a wild story from last Friday that involves a motorcycle, 97-degree heat, and a lesson he didn't see coming. What started as a simple ride to the Harley store for some new gear turned into an adventure that had him questioning his decision-making skills. But here's the thing—there's about ten lessons packed into this one experience. Sometimes following your passion comes with a price tag you weren't expecting, and that's perfectly okay. Featured Story Picture this: It's 1130 AM, 97 degrees with a heat index of 108, and Scott decides it's the perfect time to throw on jeans, boots, and a jacket for a motorcycle ride. What could go wrong? Well, after an hour of shopping in air conditioning, things took an unexpected turn that left Scott learning some humbling lessons about passion, preparation, and the fact that what feels mortifying to you is just another Tuesday for someone else. Important Points Living your passion means doing what you love NOW, not waiting until you're 70 to finally pursue what fires you up. Sometimes there's a price to pay upfront for following your passion, and that's part of the deal—embrace it instead of avoiding it. Whatever embarrassing or weird situation you're facing, remember it's "just another day" for somebody who's seen it all before. Memorable Quotes "You should turn into what you feel like you'd love to do and have the courage to do it." "I do not want you to live a whole life and then one day say when I'm 70, I'll do what I love to do. No, no, no, no, no, do it now." "Whatever feels weird for you, whatever you're going through right now, just remember, it's just another day for somebody." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop putting off what you're passionate about—if it's calling you, answer the call today instead of making excuses. Accept that following your passion sometimes comes with unexpected challenges, but don't let that stop you from pursuing what you love. Remember that your most embarrassing moments are probably routine experiences for someone else, so don't let fear of looking foolish hold you back.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes One Life Formula: Find Your Core and Lock It In August 6, 2025 | Episode 5143 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel like you're juggling too many things at once? Today I'm breaking down why getting closer to "one" might be the smartest move you'll ever make. I stumped five seasoned coaching clients this morning with a simple question about identity—and their glazed-over looks told me I'd hit something big. You've got one life, about 85 years if you're lucky. Let's talk about finding your one identity, your one thing, and the one energy that drives it all. Once you lock these in? That's when life gets really good. Featured Story This morning on my group coaching call, I asked five people who'd been working with me for over a year a simple question: "Who are you?" Not one could answer. These weren't newbies—they were seasoned folks who thought they had it figured out. That's when it hit me. We're so busy multitasking and chasing every shiny object that we've forgotten the power of one. When you know your core identity and what drives you forward, everything else falls into place. Important Points Your identity stays fundamentally the same from birth to death—minor tweaks happen, but your core essence remains constant. Find it, own it, and watch your happiness soar. What you ARE in life (your "product on the shelf") typically follows one consistent thread throughout your journey—mine's been communications since high school, and it'll continue until my voice gives out. Your driving energy is the fuel that gets you out of bed—whether it's growth, legacy, community, or yes, even money—knowing yours changes everything. Memorable Quotes "The closer you get down to one thing, the better off you're going to be." "If you're not happy, my guess is you don't know who you are and you don't know what you stand for." "I'm driven by growth and possibility. That's it. If I can see that I'm growing a little bit, if I can see there's a possible... I'm moving." Scott's Three-Step Approach Define your core identity—your values, morals, and how you walk your talk. This is who you've always been, just waiting to be acknowledged. Identify your "one thing"—that consistent thread running through your life that defines what you build and create every single day. Lock in what works—once you find your winning formula, stop changing it. Let it run on autopilot so you can explore new possibilities from a stable foundation.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Nobody Has to Give You Permission August 5, 2025 | Episode - 5152 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Tired of feeling stuck while waiting for everyone else to get on board with your plans? Scott shares his game-changing "momentum freight train" mindset that'll give you the swagger and confidence to move forward—whether people follow or not. This isn't about collecting another tactic for your notes app. It's about shifting your perspective and realizing you don't need anyone's permission to build the life you want. Get ready to stop asking and start moving. Featured Story Scott opens up about a pivotal moment years ago when his future wife (then girlfriend) wasn't giving him the attention he wanted. Instead of waiting around, he decided to build his momentum freight train—planning his life and moving forward regardless. The twist? Once he started moving with confidence and purpose, she took notice and joined him. They've been married almost 18 years now, and Scott's used this same principle in business and every area of life since. Important Points Nobody has to give you permission to do anything—not your boss, spouse, or even the government (though there may be consequences worth considering). When you lean into your vision with confidence and start moving forward, people often follow because most folks are stuck and afraid to take the first step. Building momentum is a perishable skill that requires daily practice since your mindset gets altered by what's happening around you. Memorable Quotes "Nobody has to give you permission to do anything. You may think they do... but if you just want to create a new world, you want to make new money, if you want to move to a new place, if you want to have a new mindset, a new attitude—nobody has control over you." "I don't care who's holding me back. I don't care what's in my way. It does not matter. I'm going that way." "The very minute you lean into it and start pushing in your vision and the direction you want to go, people look at you and say, 'I'll follow him. I'll follow her.' That's what happens." Scott's Three-Step Approach Wake up each morning and declare yourself a momentum freight train—decide what direction you're heading and commit to moving forward. Build your life in the direction you want to go without waiting for others to join you first—focus on making yourself better regardless of who comes along. Maintain a positive mindset about your momentum without getting vindictive or mean—people respond better to confident leadership than bitter independence.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Seven Old-School Rules That Beat Modern BS August 4, 2025 | Episode 5151 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's fired up and ready to shake up your Monday with seven old-school rules that'll shift your perspective on happiness and success. No tactical nonsense today – just pure mindset gold that'll get you moving forward instead of staying stuck in preparation mode. From ditching the "getting ready" excuses to learning when to give monkeys the boot, Scott delivers his signature blend of wisdom and wit. Plus, he shares why patting yourself on the butt might be the motivation hack you never knew you needed. Featured Story Scott kicks off with a weekend motorcycle mishap that turned into a 99-degree disaster in Florida heat. What started as a wild hair idea to ride 40 miles in 112-degree heat index became a lesson in environmental awareness and listening to your wife's wisdom. The story perfectly sets up his main message: sometimes we need to slow down when things get bumpy, but never stop moving forward. It's classic Scott – turning a sweaty mistake into motivation gold. Important Points Stop "fixing to get ready" and take action on what matters to you right now, because if it was truly important, you'd find a way to do it anyway. Ask for help from real people who've walked your path before, not just AI that gives you affirmation bias disguised as brilliant advice. Practice daily PYOTB (Pat Yourself On The Back) because you're your own best cheerleader, and nobody can pump you up better than you can. Memorable Quotes "Stop fixing to get ready. If you want something, there is no reason to put it off." "Don't give monkeys piggyback rides. Monkeys can walk. Monkeys can fly." "You're your own best cheerleader. There is nobody on this planet who can pump you up more than you can." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify one thing you've been "fixing to get ready" for and take the first action step today, no matter how small. Find someone who's already accomplished what you want and ask them for specific advice instead of relying on AI or guessing. Establish your own daily PYOTB routine by literally patting yourself on the back or butt and saying "I done good" to anchor positive momentum.
