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.

You've set goals before and watched them fall apart six months later. Maybe you thought you had a solid foundation. Maybe you didn't.
I'm pulling from 25 years of coaching experience and thousands of hours working with people just like you. What I've learned is this: you need a peaceful base before you chase any goal. Six domains of life that have to be balanced first, or everything crumbles.
Think of it like an audio console. Get the levels wrong at the start, and everything downstream is a mess. Get them right, and you can reach for anything.
Featured Story
My daughter invited me to help with the audio at her church. I produce, I direct, I've got the background. So I stepped in.
When you're the audio guy behind that big console, two things are true. You get all the blame. And if you lose control of the balance, you're in serious trouble.
Every service starts the same way. You've got 8, 10, 12 people on stage. The very first thing I do is set the foundation - the input levels for every mic, every instrument. Get that wrong, and everything downstream falls apart. Feedback, hot mess, scary stuff.
I started thinking about how this applies to life. What if we got the levels right from the beginning? What if we balanced everything before chasing the big goals?
That's when the peaceful base concept clicked.
Important Points
Most people fail at goals because their foundation has cracks they don't even know about.
Six domains need balance: time, body, mind, money, relationships, and spirit - in that order.
Get these levels right first, and you can chase the biggest goals without upsetting your peaceful base.
Memorable Quotes
"Time is yours. It's limited in what you have. There's only so much time in the day, and everything you do will take time."
"Financial security provides true choice. It's mobility in life."
"Connections that are nurtured, not sacrificed."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Take inventory of the six domains and identify where you're out of balance right now.
Fix the small challenges first before setting any big goals for next year.
Maintain that peaceful base as you grow so you don't mess up what you've got.
