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.

My mom broke her hip at almost 94.
You know what she said from the hospital bed? "I guess I needed a new adventure. I just wish I had finished cleaning my house." Then she asked if the cute physical therapist gives baths.
Today I'm sharing what my mom's chili dog obsession taught me about what really drives us. Plus, the one question I asked my coaching group that left everyone speechless. It's about mastery, facing your passion, and paying attention to what naturally pulls you forward.
Featured Story
My sister texted me: "It's about mom, call me."
My heart dropped. When your mom's almost 94, those texts hit different. Turns out she'd fallen taking her cat to the vet—something she wasn't supposed to do alone. Broke her hip. Needed it replaced.
But my mom? She saw it as an adventure. Said she liked hospital food and was glad someone else did the dishes. Put in a request for the cute physical therapist to come to her house.
Then she told me what really threw off her plans—she was on her way to Hardee's for a chili dog when she fell. First thing she wanted when released? That chili dog. My sister picked her up from the hospital and stopped at Hardee's before taking her home.
The girl had her priorities.
Important Points
Mastery comes from clinical hours—I've logged 1,232 hours of individual coaching in 22 months, 220 hours of group calls.
The question that stumped my group: What's the one thing you'd do next year that would change everything about who you are?
What naturally drives you is probably giving you the most joy—pay attention to your version of the chili dog.
Memorable Quotes
"I guess I needed a new adventure. I just wish I had finished cleaning my house."
"Pay attention to what you're naturally driving yourself to do. It's probably what's giving you the most joy."
"If you want to live long and prosper, eat more chili dogs, or your version of it."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Track your clinical hours in whatever you want to master—stop waiting and just start doing it.
Ask yourself what would change everything if you faced it—not fancy stuff, just the thing lingering inside you've been avoiding.
Notice what you naturally drive yourself toward—that's probably where your real joy lives, not where you think it should be.
