Daily Boost - Clarity for Life and Work
Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
The Daily Boost is a short, practical podcast for people who want their life and work to work better.
I’m Scott Smith. For years, people have come to me with the same request:
“Help me fix a few things and move forward.”
That’s what the Daily Boost is designed for.
Each episode is just a few minutes long. One idea you can use. One shift in perspective that helps you make better decisions, handle pressure more cleanly, and feel like you’re moving in the right direction again.
No hype.
No long theories.
Just useful insight you can carry into your day.
Most people who listen are building careers, businesses, or leadership roles. They’ve done a lot right — they just don’t want progress to come at the expense of everything else.
Along with the short daily episodes, I also share longer weekly Deep Dives. That’s where we go further — connecting the dots between the changes you’re trying to make today and the bigger picture of where your life and work are heading.
The Daily Boost is the starting point.
It helps you fix what’s in front of you — and opens the door to building something that actually lasts.
If you’re looking for clarity, traction, and a better way forward, you’re in the right place.

Why Wisdom is Your Superpower
Why Wisdom is Your SuperpowerThere are lots of folks in the world who are seeking change in their life. They usually say - “I want something entirely new! I’m tired of how things have been! I want to start over!”Please don’t do it! Change doesn’t mean getting a do-over. It’s more of an iteration or course correction. Starting at the beginning has two problems:1) It has taken you a long time to earn the wisdom and momentum you already have. Giving it up will mean losing your most potent tool. 2) All your knowledge will make it impossible to erase and start over anyway. You are too wise for that.The solution is to leverage your wisdom and use it as a foundation for everything you seek in the future. Build on your knowledge base using intent, focus, and direction.

It makes sense that we follow four steps to making them great:1) Curiosity - Everybody is curious about the people they meet. The more curious they are about you, the better. If you want to meet great people, be engaging.2) Enlightenment - Once curiosity peaks, interest will be to grow. People want to know more about you.3) Commitment - With more knowledge, connections deepen.4) Action - Once you reach commitment, people become open and willing to join your world.Whether personal or business, all relationships evolve on the same path.

What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing?
What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing?I live by a mantra that says -"Almost everything in day-to-day life should be routine. Consistent. Predictable. Between the lines. Boring. But, occasionally, it's good to get out of the box, a little on edge, a bit scared, and excited."The truth is, you need both. There is also another truth.Most things that make you happy and successful are pretty mundane — taking care of your home, paying bills on time, spending time with family. Consistent routines focused on what's important are how you achieve success. Have fun and stick to what feels comfortable is working for you. After all, it's not a rut; it's a routine.

How to be Happy and Excited Every Day
How to be Happy and Excited Every DayI love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing. Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again.Since you were young, special events excited you enough that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night. Would you like that back in your life? The trick to harnessing the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting moments in your future. I call this the Anticipation Engine. Keep two things to keep in mind:1) Your energy is dependent on getting excited about your future. Keep your list long.2) Once an event passes, your excitement will disappear.Enjoy the current moment. Don’t rush ahead, but always have something fun coming next.Living a life of anticipation always gives a natural energy boost. If your life is bland - schedule something fun and get excited again.
