Episode Description

With his signature straight-talking style, he reveals why your minor tweaks arenât what you want. Discover why creating something new might be the answer youâve been searching for.
Featured Story
Scott takes you inside the coaching world to reveal a powerful truth: you donât want âpersonal improvementâ - you want transformation. Using wisdom from Stoic philosophy, he explains how flipping obstacles upside down creates new opportunities. âThe impediment to action advances action. What stands in your way becomes the way.â Learn how this mindset shift can change your approach to challenges.
Key Takeaways
Understanding what makes you tick is the first step before pursuing any goal or dream.
The desire for âimprovementâ often masks what you want - something new and transformational.
Like Stoic philosophers teach, every obstacle can become a new source of good when viewed differently.
