Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Living in The Void to Victory July 7, 2025 | Episode 5031 Host: Scott Smith Scott shares a powerful tactic he uses with his highest-level clients for the first time on the podcast. If you're floating in the middle—where life feels okay but not incredible—this episode is your wake-up call. You'll discover how to move from "the void" to "the gap" and start building bridges toward what you actually want. Scott breaks down his I3 framework that focuses on Impact, Income, and Independence to create the clarity and roadmap you need to stop sabotaging yourself. Scott opens up about visiting his granddaughter Maya, who finally decided she likes him after turning three. With grandchild number five arriving in four days and possibly seven total grandkids on the way, Scott uses this personal moment to frame today's powerful coaching session. He reveals the exact process he uses when high-end clients walk through his door feeling stuck in the middle, wanting big changes but not knowing where to start. Moving from "the void" to "the gap" shifts your mindset from emptiness to seeing a bridgeable space between where you are and where you want to be. The I3 framework prioritizes Impact first (what significance you want), then Income (the money you need), and finally Independence (the freedom you crave). Quick wins build the motivation and momentum needed to create lasting change, but you must define your desired impact, income, and independence clearly to measure progress. "If you're not clear about what you want, you're not going to get it. You're going to get something else." "A gap suggests a bridgeable space between two things, and I like to build bridges." "Little quick wins build motivation, excitement, momentum. And before you know it, you've changed everything." Define what impact you want to have today, tomorrow, and in your life—be specific and realistic about the significance you can actually create. Determine what income you truly want and need—not fantasy numbers, but real money that allows you to sustain your impact and lifestyle. Describe the independence you desire in detail—the freedom of choice, time, and decision-making that will fulfill you most. Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Supercharge Your Year With Retrospection and Prospection July 4, 2025 | Episode 5130 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description It's Independence Day and we're halfway through 2025! Time to get real about where you've been and where you're headed. I'm sharing two uniquely human abilities that my high-performing clients swear by every single day. Forget traditional goal-setting and reflection – this is about feeling your way through the first six months and creating magic in the next six. These aren't just fancy words; they're your secret weapons for staying on track and becoming the person you're meant to be. Featured Story Fresh off a coaching call, Scott shares a powerful conversation with a client who thought his year was "a kick in the knackers" – until Scott reminded him about his new big client, beautiful motorcycle, loving wife, and great kids. It's a perfect example of how we forget our wins and focus on what's wrong. This story illustrates why retrospection isn't just looking back; it's about feeling the truth of your journey and recognizing what you've actually created in your life. Important Points Retrospection and prospection are uniquely human abilities that your pets can't do – only you can look back with feeling and create forward with intention. Most people blow through these exercises superficially the first time, so expect to dig deeper on your third or fourth attempt before it clicks. Clarity is the number one thing in personal transformation, followed immediately by getting rid of the clutter that's holding you back. Memorable Quotes "You as a human have the very unique ability to go come up with an idea and go create it." "Do not get down on yourself if you haven't figured it out yet – I've seen very smart people take months to get it dialed in." "You can prospectively decide what you want to create today and then just go make it happen." Scott's Three-Step Approach Look back retrospectively at your first six months of 2025 and feel how it went – not just think about it, but actually feel whether it matched your expectations. Move into prospection by deciding what you'll create in the second half of the year from a life experience perspective, not just goals. Practice this daily in 60 seconds, or spend five minutes doing it for the whole year, and watch your life transform. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Finding Your Third Identity July 3, 2025 | Episode 5129 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott shares a powerful coaching insight that stopped his group coaching call in its tracks. If you've ever felt disconnected from your work or questioned "who am I and what do I do," this episode will shift your perspective completely. Discover the concept of your "third identity" – the often-overlooked combination of who you are personally and professionally. Scott reveals why traditional work-life balance doesn't exist and how finding alignment in this third space can transform everything. Featured Story During a recent group coaching call, Scott introduced a game-changing concept that had everyone rethinking their approach to personal and professional development. He shared his observation that most people focus on either personal growth or professional advancement, missing the crucial third element that ties everything together. The breakthrough moment came when clients realized they don't need to separate who they are from what they do – they need to integrate both into a unified, authentic identity. Important Points You have three identities: personal, professional, and the combination identity that most people never acknowledge or develop. Traditional work-life balance is a myth because you're the same person whether at work or home – integration, not separation, is the key. The real transformation happens in that "third space" between your personal and professional selves, where authentic alignment creates lasting satisfaction. Memorable Quotes "I can't imagine knowing who I am personally and then having a job that doesn't match what I do and living life like that." "There is no work-life balance. It's the same. How do I know that? Because you're the same person, whether you're at work or you're at home." "If you're doing something you like to do, and if you're being the person you want to be, the combination is what you want in your life." Scott's Three-Step Approach Define your personal identity clearly by identifying your core values and who you want to be in all areas of life. Examine your professional identity and determine if it aligns with or conflicts with your personal values and goals. Focus on developing your "third identity" – the integrated version of yourself that combines personal authenticity with professional purpose.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Breaking Through When You Feel Stuck July 2, 2025 | Episode 5128 Host: Scott Smith Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels, stuck in neutral, or completely blocked from moving forward? You're not alone. After 20 years of coaching, Scott knows exactly what people say when they call for help. Today, he shares the surprising truth about why you feel stuck and reveals the one commitment that will get you moving fast. This isn't about fixing everything first – it's about finding what excites you so much you can't hold back the smile. Scott kicks off the episode by sharing his personal win at the gym – crushing 10 straight pull-ups after years of not being able to do them. The only downside? Nobody was there to witness his badass moment. This victory didn't happen overnight, and it perfectly illustrates today's lesson about commitment and forward momentum. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen when you're willing to put in the work, even when nobody's watching. The real reason you feel stuck isn't because you have too much to fix – it's because you either don't know where you want to go or you're not actually excited about getting there. You don't need to clean up every mess before you start moving toward your goal, just like you don't need to clean the dirt at home before going camping in the dirt. The magic happens when you commit to only taking actions that move you closer to your goal, period – everything else becomes background noise. "Everything's a dream. Perception is reality. Goals are just a tangible way you take action on things." "If you can't get yourself off the base to head that direction, it just means wherever you want to go is not that exciting." "Your goal would be to find the thing that excites you, that's so big, you just want to run with it until you can't even hold back the smile." Get crystal clear on where you want to go – if you're spinning, it's because you haven't found a destination that truly excites you. Make a commitment to yourself that you will only take actions that move you closer to that goal, and let everything else wait. Keep going until you get what you want, fixing problems as they come up rather than trying to solve everything before you start.
