• Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life

  Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life May 29, 2025 | Episode 5104 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I discuss the valuable lessons I’ve learned from the women in my life—my wives, moms, daughters, and other influential women. I share wisdom from historical figures like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, exploring how women have shaped my perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. From the “look” that every married man knows about the constructive power of silence, I reflect on how women’s wisdom has guided me through nearly two decades of podcasting and life itself. Featured Story Scott reflects on his relationships with the important women in his life, sharing personal insights about marriage, wisdom, and the complementary roles that men and women play together. He weaves personal anecdotes with historical quotes from first ladies and influential women, creating a tribute to the feminine wisdom that has shaped his journey over 19 years of podcasting. Important Points Women possess a unique wisdom that often guides and “tames” the men in their lives, creating balance in relationships. True strength is revealed when women face challenging situations - they rise to the occasion with remarkable resilience. Marriage is an active verb, not a passive noun. It requires daily effort and intentional love to make it work. Memorable Quotes “Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.” “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “Marriage is not a noun. It’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Pay attention to the wisdom of the women around you and actively listen to their insights. Recognize that men and women are different but complementary, bringing unique strengths to relationships. Apply the lessons learned from feminine wisdom to become a better partner, father, and human being. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

• If You Were Born Today, What Would You Do Differently?

  Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes If You Were Born Today, What Would You Do Differently? May 28, 2025 | Episode 5103 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What if you woke up this morning completely brand new? Scott explores the powerful “do-over day” concept and challenges you to think beyond minor tweaks and adjustments. After surveying dozens of people about what they’d do if they were born today with all their current knowledge and skills, the answers might surprise you. This isn’t about reworking what you’re already doing—it’s about discovering what you truly want and why you’re not already doing it. Featured Story Scott shares the results of his informal survey asking people what they would do if they had a complete do-over day. From clients to ChatGPT, he gathered responses that revealed something fascinating: most people want to rework their current situation rather than imagine something entirely new. The top answers included not drinking, exercising more, paying better attention to family, and managing money more effectively—but the real question becomes, if you know what you’d do differently, why aren’t you doing it now? Important Points The biggest obstacles to change aren’t logical limitations, but emotional comfort zones, obligations, and fear-based excuses that keep you from becoming who you could be. Most people, when given the chance for a completely fresh start, still think in terms of tweaking their current life rather than imagining something entirely new and different. True personal growth requires digging beneath surface-level changes to discover the deeper truths about what you really want and why you’re holding yourself back. Memorable Quotes “You want something new and different? Accept it. That’s what you want.” “You have total freedom to do whatever you want to do. You can do it.” “Until you start digging down in the truth underneath it, you’re not going to get the true change you want.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Ask yourself what you would do if you were born today with all your current knowledge, skills, and resources—then push beyond reworking your current situation to imagine something completely new. Identify the real reasons you’re not already making the changes you know you want, recognizing that comfort zones and fear-based excuses are emotionally valid but logically questionable. Start the self-discovery process by having honest conversations with yourself about who you could become if you were willing to go down that road.

• Why Knowing What You DON'T Want

  Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Knowing What You Don’t Want Is Better Than Knowing What You Do Want 05-27-25 | Episode - 5102 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I share a powerful lesson I learned from women in my life, particularly divorced women who taught me something counterintuitive about making positive changes. While most motivational advice tells you to focus on what you want, I’ve discovered that starting with what you don’t wish to can be far more effective. This isn’t about dwelling on negativity or being unmotivated. It’s about crystalizing what’s not working in your life right now so you can create the space for what you actually want to emerge. Featured Story I share stories from conversations with divorced women who’ve completed their “mandatory year off” and are ready for new relationships. When asked what they’re looking for in a partner, they always start with what they don’t want - and there’s wisdom in that approach. One memorable conversation involved a woman who said she didn’t want a man with a motorcycle, only to discover she loved motorcycles. The actual issue wasn’t the bike; her ex-husband used it to ride around with someone half her age. Understanding what you don’t want helps clarify what you want. Important Points Identifying what you don’t want isn’t negative thinking. Practical awareness motivates positive change. Most people are already thinking about what’s bothering them anyway, so why not use that natural tendency constructively? Once you see what you don’t like about your current situation, what you want becomes magically revealed to you. Memorable Quotes “You had garbage going on today. That’s what you don’t like today. That’s your problem today.” “If you will look at what you don’t like that’s going on and then realize it and start changing it, life changes.” “There’s always going to be bugs. Just get the better bugs.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Look honestly at what you don’t like that’s happening in your life right now, without judgment. Realize these situations and acknowledge them as your starting point for change. Let this clarity motivate you to create the opposite actively; your actual desires will become clear.

• If You See It, You Can Change It

  Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes If You See It, You Can Change It 05-26-25 | Episode 5101 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description On this Memorial Day edition of the Daily Boost, I share one of the most powerful principles I’ve discovered through years of coaching: if you see it, you can change it. Most people struggle because they’re blind to what’s happening. When you can’t see the problem, you can’t fix it. I’ll walk you through my proven process for gaining awareness, eliminating what you don’t love, and creating space for what makes you happy. This isn’t about making massive changes overnight. It’s about those little boosts that change everything. Featured Story I share insights from recent coaching sessions where clients discovered that awareness is their greatest power. One client couldn’t manage day-to-day finances, but once he realized the problem, we had a tactical system to fix it. The magic happens when you eliminate what you don’t love and hold space for what you love. Most people fix one problem only to fill that peaceful space with another problem. I’ll show you how to break that cycle. Important Points Awareness is your power in everything - if you can see something and understand it for what it is, you can change it. The tactical process involves realizing what you don’t like, getting a system to eliminate it, then holding that peaceful space instead of filling it with fresh problems. When you create space and get to a peaceful base, you default into the things that make you happy - it’s much simpler than you think. Memorable Quotes “If you see it, you can change it - if you notice something, you can change it.” “It’s those little bitty things, those changes, sometimes that bit of motivation, that make all the difference in the world.” “When you get relaxed, when you don’t have a problem in the world, what do you do? It’s much simpler than that glamorous thing you think you’re looking for.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Become aware of what’s happening in your life by stopping to observe what’s going on around you. - use a daily awareness practice to see. Get a tactical system or process to eliminate the problems and things you don’t love doing that are holding you back. Hold the peaceful space you’ve created and do more of what you love instead of filling it with fresh problems. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
