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.

Ever feel stuck not knowing what you want next year?
I'm sharing the brain science behind getting unstuck and excited about 2026. It starts with exploring possibilities without commitment. No announcements, no pressure. Just curiosity.
Once you find something interesting, your anticipation engine kicks in. That's when everything changes. I'll show you how to use your brain's natural wiring to create a year you're genuinely pumped about.
Featured Story
Two days before Christmas, I asked my wife for a toaster.
She said we're not doing gifts this year. But I know better. When she says no gifts, she doesn't mean no gifts.
Our kitchen has 90 cabinets and 92 linear feet of counter space. Every appliance you can imagine. But that massive toaster oven? Doesn't make great toast.
Sometimes the smallest things matter most. Like a simple toaster. Or knowing what you really want without overcomplicating it.
Important Points
Exploring possibilities is the gateway to inspiration. Get interested in things without commitment and see where curiosity takes you.
Your anticipation engine is your most powerful motivational tool. Put at least one big thing per month on your calendar and watch your energy shift.
Humans are uniquely built for prospection. You can create experiences that don't exist yet and make them real.
Memorable Quotes
"Scott said it was okay."
"If you don't feel like you have hope, I can nine times out of 10, no 10 times out of 10."
"The pure excitement of the fact that you're going to go after it is really what the payoff is."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
1. Explore without commitment. Drive home a different way. Stop at that random store. Just look around and see what gets your attention.
2. Build your anticipation list. Put at least one exciting thing per month on the calendar and spend the year getting pumped about it.
3. Create using prospection. Make up experiences you've never done before and make them happen.
