    Outsmart AI Right Now
    2026/09/11
    Daily Boost Podcast Outsmart AI Right Now September 11, 2026 | Episode 5540 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Twenty years ago, Tim Ferriss told us to leverage our brains and let automation do the grunt work. I bought in, built a business on it, and it worked. Then AI showed up with the same promise. Robots do the hard stuff; you get to be creative. Three years in, AI is writing the music and making the films. Guess what's left for you. Today I'm giving you a take on AI you haven't heard, straight from a coaching call with my client Ralph. It's dark, a little funny, and it ends with the one thing AI can't touch. Featured Story Picture your head as a coconut. AI walked up with a drill, bored a little hole in the top, and you didn't feel a thing. Coconuts don't feel anything. Then it slid in a long straw and sucked your brains out. For some of you, it was a sip. For the college crowd, it was a lot. It poured all of it into its own brain. And then came the twist. You can have it back for twenty bucks a month. Forever. You said, " Great, I get my brain back plus everybody else's. Ten million PhDs. Except there are eight billion not-so-smart people in there too, and now you can't tell which one is talking. That's where it gets interesting. Important Points * Every knowledge job is getting cheaper. Consultants and coaches who sell pure information are getting squeezed first. * AI will flatter you while it lies to you. Pull your own brain back out and double-check everything before you decide. * AI can't make the decision. Wisdom, judgment, and face-to-face guidance are your leverage now. Memorable Quotes * There are 10 million PhDs inside AI; there's no doubt about that, but there are 8 billion stupid people in there too. * AI lies to you. It gives you compliments while it lies to you. It tells you what to think. It's a very good liar. * The only thing you have that's more valuable than AI is the ability to make a decision and to use your wisdom. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Admit that trading pure information for money is over. Consulting and coaching on knowledge alone won't hold up. * Move what you know into a decision. Take the flood of AI answers and turn it into the call somebody can't make alone. * Deliver that judgment face to face. A little human conversation on top of all that leverage is the new arbitrage.

  • Everything Is Possible

    Everything Is Possible
    2026/09/10
    Daily Boost Podcast Everything Is Possible September 10, 2026 | Episode 5539 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever had one of those days where you're trying everything and nothing moves? You push, you plan, you show up, and the door still won't open. I've had plenty of them. Today I'm sharing a story about a man I met near the end of his life, a small pin he put on my shirt, and six words he said that I've carried for over 20 years. Those six words changed what I believed was possible. They built everything I have now, one day at a time. Listen. You might need them today. Featured Story The cameras were set. The crew was ready. Grandmaster Lee was late. He'd had a rough night; the cancer was winning, and he'd spent part of it in the hospital. Then the door opened, and he strode in as if nothing had happened and Sat down. Ready. He talked for two hours, and when he was done, he was done. Then something crossed his face. He got up, climbed over cables and light stands to a desk in the back, dug through a drawer, and came back with a little American flag pin that said Instructor. He pinned it to my shirt. I told him I wasn't an instructor. He smiled. Important Points * You're not behind because you're incapable of it; you're behind because you simply haven't started the thing yet. * Every library, business, or body of work you admire got built the same slow, boring way, one single day at a time. * Impossible today and impossible forever are two very different things, and only one of them is ever actually true. Memorable Quotes * Today, not possible. Tomorrow possible. I'll let you add a little Korean accent if you want to hear it. * When I began, only in my heart, like yours, you're just doing it. I'm counting on you to help people your own way. * My entire life, my entire legacy, everything would boil down to 5,500 podcasts, and I ain't anywhere near done yet. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the one thing you keep saying you'll start someday, and admit that today's version of it feels impossible. * Do the smallest piece of it today anyway, one call, one page, one recording, and then stop and walk away for now. * Come back and do the same small thing tomorrow, because tomorrow is where impossible quietly turns into possible. Chapters 0:15 - When the day refuses to go the way you planned 1:30 - Why I'm opening the Face Your Passion community 3:00 - Flying to Little Rock to film a legend's last story 4:49 - Ten thousand people and a curtain that opens 6:17 - He crossed a room full of cables to find a pin 7:50 - The mountain you see when you haven't started 8:11 - Six words that built the next twenty years Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Design Your Perfect Day

    Design Your Perfect Day
    2026/09/09
    Daily Boost Podcast Design Your Perfect Day September 9, 2026 | Episode 5538 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I haven't taught this one in many moons, but it's been central to my coaching for close to seventeen years. It's called your average perfect day, and the first time clients do it, it freaks them out. Then everything changes. Not because it's magic. Because writing down how you actually want to live wakes your brain up to what you want. I'm going to dare you to try it. Most of you won't, and that's fine. But the ones who do end up looking around five years later at a life that matches the page. Featured Story My wife and I don't need a car. The one we have is fine. But I've been working on her about a Tesla, and now she wants one, and we're sitting right there on the edge of pulling the trigger. Then I noticed something. Everywhere I go now, all I see are Teslas. Parking lots, the highway, the grocery store. They were always there. My brain didn't bother telling me about them until the thing mattered to me. That's the reticular activation system doing its job, and it's the same machinery that goes to work the minute you write down the day you actually want. Important Points * Write your average perfect day from wake-up to dreams, and don't allow one limitation or consequence on the page. * Your calendar tells the truth about what really matters to you, not the beliefs you say out loud when somebody asks. * You'll get it wrong on the first pass, and that is the point. Come back a week later and make it a little more real. Memorable Quotes * I know it is stupid, but you write it down anyway. There are no limitations, and there are no consequences. * I don't care what you tell me you believe in or what you tell me you want to do. What matters is what you actually do. * Your day can't be perfect every day, so on average, write down what you want and it will probably happen. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Grab a sheet of paper tonight and double-space the whole thing, because you will be adding lines to it for years. * Write out every single event of the day you want in order, from the second you wake up through the dreams you have. * Read it again a week later, correct whatever feels off, and then let your brain go hunting for the rest of it. Chapters 0:38 - A core philosophy I have not taught in years 1:18 - Naming the new community Face Your Passion 2:34 - Founders pricing and the doors on September 17 3:24 - The average perfect day concept, start to finish 4:43 - My wife, a Tesla, and seeing them everywhere 5:31 - Why average beats perfect every single day 8:03 - The drawer, five years later, half of it true Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Honest With Yourself Decision Making

    Honest With Yourself Decision Making
    2026/09/08
    Daily Boost Podcast Honest With Yourself Decision Making September 8, 2026 | Episode 5537 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Yesterday I told you about the young man at the gym who couldn't pick a career. Today I'll show you what I'd actually do with him, and with you. Being stuck isn't a one-time problem you solve and retire from. Solve one thing and something else shows up. So I dump it all on the table, look for the pattern, and get honest about the direction I'm already leaning. Most people won't admit that last part, and that's the whole holdup. Bring your mess and let's sort through it together. Featured Story When I met my wife, Joy, I never worried about whether we'd get married. That sounds cold, but it wasn't. I put my toe in the water; we had something good, and my logic was simple. If it's good, it probably gets better. If it went bad, we'd unwind it long before a wedding. So I quit auditing the ending and worked what was in front of me. Infatuation, girlfriend, fiancé, married. Every stage tested it a little harder. That's exactly how I treat a career, a business, a direction I'm curious about. Get in, feel it, and let the thing prove itself to you. Important Points * Change is coming whether you choose or not. Accepting that beats pretending you have unlimited time to decide. * You already know your answer. You were trained to hold back, and that training is exactly what has you sitting still. * Don't hand this to AI. It flatters you, it never concludes, and you'll walk away more confused than you started. Memorable Quotes * I've always believed you already know what the outcome will be. My job is to get you to accept that. * AI will tell you whatever you want to hear, and give a lot of flattery too. You're going to be so much more confused. * Practicality and optimism go together really well. Optimism without practicality is unicorn rainbows and a crappy life. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Accept that something in your life has to change, and give it a real deadline so the decision stops floating out there. * Empty every option onto the table, sort the mess into piles, and watch for the pattern you keep leaning toward. * Put your toe in the water on that pattern with zero commitment, and let the very next step reveal itself to you. Chapters 0:20 - What is really going on when you feel stuck 2:08 - Accepting that the change is coming either way 3:38 - Dumping every option onto the table like Legos 5:34 - Why AI will only make your confusion worse 6:55 - Explore it, put your toe in the water, and see 8:17 - Joy, infatuation, and how I knew it would work 11:43 - Practical optimism beats unicorn rainbow living Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Stuck Lost Confused Ick

    Stuck Lost Confused Ick
    2026/09/07
    Daily Boost Podcast Stuck Lost Confused Ick September 7, 2026 | Episode 5536 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description It's Labor Day, and I woke up thinking about a conversation I have almost every single day of my life. A young man crossed the gym floor last week to thank me, then told me about a decision he can't make. Two good options. No way to choose. If you've ever stalled out in front of a choice like that, you know the feeling. Stuck, lost, confused, ick. I'm not handing you a blueprint today. I'm going to show you why you don't have one yet, and the one move that changes it. Listen. Featured Story I was walking out of the gym when a young man came across the floor and asked if I was Scott Smith. We'd talked in the sauna months earlier, and he wanted to say thanks. He's a military officer in his final semester, choosing between infantry and aviation, walking and listening and projecting twenty years forward, trying to settle it. I could hear his answer in his voice before he could. So I asked the question I get paid good money to ask. Have you ever flown an airplane? Nope. Just a simulator. I told him he has no idea whether he wants it. Important Points * When you keep delaying a decision, it isn't laziness. You haven't decided what the thing is supposed to be yet. * You can't evaluate a life you've never lived. Buy one hour of the real thing before you commit the next ten years. * Being stuck means you can't name the next step, not the whole plan. Name that one step and you start moving again. Memorable Quotes * If you ever see me delay on anything, you can bet I haven't decided exactly what it's supposed to be. * You can live vicariously through somebody else's experience, but you have no idea, because your boots aren't over there. * Once you put the target on it, you run. I can't hold people back when they figure out what they want. They go for it. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Admit that the delay is really a decision you haven't made yet, rather than calling it bad timing or a scheduling problem. * Take that undecided thing and touch the real version of it once. One hour, one flight, one honest conversation. * Name the single next step your gut hands you afterward, then move on it right away before your ego talks you out. Chapters 0:15 - Labor Day, the gym, and a voice I remembered 4:33 - Infantry or aviation, and what his energy said 5:43 - The silly question I get paid a lot to ask 6:34 - Why living it through someone else tells you nothing 8:29 - My radio dream and the parking lot that broke it 9:20 - Stuck is not knowing what forward even looks like 10:25 - The coffee invitation and how he earned it Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • More Gooder Than Badder

    More Gooder Than Badder
    2026/09/04
    Daily Boost Podcast More Gooder Than Badder September 4, 2026 | Episode 5535 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Years ago I made up a phrase to help somebody who was stuck. Be more gooder than badder. Terrible grammar, and it works better than almost anything else I teach. I stopped saying it on this show about five years ago. People still email me and tell me they're living it. So today I'm bringing it back with a pile of examples: sleep, money, water, marriage, your phone, your kids, your mood. No framework. No methodology. Just one simple question you can ask yourself all day long. Where am I right now? Let's go find out together. Featured Story I used to fall face first into a basket of French fries. Not a few. The whole basket. Then I'd think about ordering onion rings on top of it. That's how I stayed fat for a very long time, and I told myself it was fine because tomorrow I'd start over. Tomorrow never showed up. What finally changed wasn't willpower. It was one small adjustment I made at the table, in the moment, with the fries sitting right in front of me. I still eat them. I still enjoy them. But the way I approach that basket is different now, and it changed a whole lot more than my weight. Important Points * Going to bed a little earlier more nights than you stay up late fixes your tiredness without any fancy sleep system. * Saving a little more often than you splurge means you still get the splurge, and you stop being broke about it. * Doing the hard thing first more days than you don't, and your afternoons quit feeling like a fight you can't win. Memorable Quotes * Moderation in almost everything, excess in a few things. Being more gooder than badder is exactly that one thing. * Drink water more often than the other stuff, and your body will figure out the rest by itself. * Nobody is happy all the time, but your mood is a volume game. Choose the better thoughts a lot more often than not. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Pick one thing today- sleep, water, or your phone- and take an honest inventory of where you really land most days. * Then tilt it one notch, doing the better thing one more time this week than you do the thing you always do anyway. * Then hold that tilt long enough to stack, and every few weeks, just fall face-first into the fun stuff on purpose. Chapters 0:02 - the phrase I made up that people still email me about 1:20 - what our new community actually believes 3:35 - CEOs writing me about bad grammar and better lives 5:10 - sleep, money, water and my 80-20 rule for living 7:05 - why four days a week beats three every single time 9:00 - reading, parking spots and saying thanks more 10:40 - the basket of French fries that kept me fat Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • What Makes You Procrastinate

    What Makes You Procrastinate
    2026/09/03
    Daily Boost Podcast What Makes You Procrastinate September 3, 2026 | Episode 5534 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Procrastination is one of those clubs we all joined without signing up, and nobody's letting us cancel the membership. I've been coaching this for 20 years, and the thing most people get wrong is right at the start. You think it's a time problem. Your schedule is packed; you can't fit it in. You need to make time. That's not it. Once you name what's actually happening, you stop reaching for willpower and start reaching for something that works. I'll walk you through it today and give you the one move that changes everything. Featured Story I was sitting at my desk this morning when a message popped up from the chatbot on my website. A gentleman wanted to know how to deal with procrastination. I answered him back in about 30 seconds. I freaked him out a little. He didn't expect to type a note into a chat window and have an actual human answer that fast. But the question stuck with me all morning. Not because it's rare, but because it's the opposite. It's the question I've been hearing for two decades from smart people with good jobs and full calendars who still can't bring themselves to start the thing sitting right in front of them. Important Points * Procrastination isn't a time problem; it's a feeling problem, and you're delaying the feeling more than the task. * Willpower only treats the symptom, so the real fix is making the decision long before the moment actually shows up. * A vague task like I need to work on my business has no first step attached, so it never actually gets started. Memorable Quotes * Willpower is your friend that shows up to help you do things you don't want to do, and then it just goes away. * When you delay a decision, you've already decided to delay it. Not taking action is still an action. * You're trading a little bit of relief right now, but the bill will be much bigger when it shows up tomorrow. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Start by naming the feeling you're avoiding, because the task isn't the problem; the emotion attached to it is. * Then decide tonight what the first move is and the exact time it happens, before the feeling gets a vote tomorrow. * Start at that time no matter how you feel, and let the relief of being done replace the dread you carried around. Chapters 0:15 - A chat message about procrastination shows up 1:58 - Why this question never goes out of style 3:34 - It's not a time problem, it's a feeling problem 3:47 - Delaying a decision is still making a decision 6:00 - Certainty seekers and vague tasks that never start 7:06 - The pre-planned response that beats willpower 9:04 - Get it done today and feel better tonight Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Caught in a Bad Situation

    Caught in a Bad Situation
    2026/09/02
    Daily Boost Podcast Caught in a Bad Situation September 2, 2026 | Episode 5533 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Life gets in the way. You plan well, do the work on yourself, and then something lands in your lap that doesn't feel right. A few months ago I got tangled up in a mess I didn't create. Everybody worked hard to convince me I was wrong. I wasn't experienced enough. I didn't know the whole story. I stayed calm and made every choice on purpose. Four and a half months later, I found out I was right. Then I quit, and it became a win for everybody. Something is sitting on your back today. Let's get it off. Featured Story Last week I sat down with one of the principals in this whole thing. Four and a half months of being told I was too green to understand, that I was missing pieces of the story. He finally lifted his head and asked me what had happened. So I told him. Calm. No finger-pointing. Just here's what you don't know. You could watch it land. Then my phone started ringing with other leaders asking the same thing. So what really happened? Was it this? They had a fire on their hands. What they hadn't worked out yet was that they were the arsonists. Important Points * When something feels off, and everyone around you insists it isn't, your gut is still data. Don't hand it over. * You can stay in a bad situation on purpose, but only if you have a plan and make every move intentionally. * Quitting isn't failing. It's what you do when the deal changes and staying costs you more than leaving ever will. Memorable Quotes * I found out that I was right, but it never feels right when you know you're right. It doesn't. It never does. * They started the fires, and now they're running around trying to put them out. And I was caught in the middle of it. * I'm really loyal, and I believe in people, so I'll hang in there to the end. But eventually I'm going to get out. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the thing that's sitting on your back and say out loud what your gut has been telling you about it for months. * Stay calm and make every next move on purpose, giving the situation one honest chance to change before you go. * If nothing changes, walk out clean, keep the relationships whole, and decide right then you're never going back.
