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.

Episode Description
You're doing everything right. Following the plan. Staying between the lines. But somehow you're not moving forward.
Sound familiar? Most people spend their time stuck in this exact spot—safe, comfortable, and completely frustrated.
I learned this almost 20 years ago when I started preaching "life begins when you move." Turns out, life always gets in the way too. The real work isn't just starting. It's what you do when you're stuck between the lines with something blocking your path forward.
Featured Story
Yesterday I was riding my Harley Street Glide on a two-lane road heading back into Deland. I found myself stuck behind a slow-moving truck. You know that feeling—when you can see the dotted line and you could pass, but you're just sitting there between the lines, safe but going nowhere?
I had a choice. Stay stuck behind the truck or assess the situation and find my opening.
That's when it hit me. This is exactly where most people live their entire lives. Between the lines. Safe. Following all the rules. But stuck behind something that won't let them move forward. The question isn't whether you can stay safe. It's whether you're willing to look around and gun it.
Important Points
Life always begins when you move, but life will always get in the way too—that's where the real work happens.
Being between the lines keeps you safe, but safety becomes a trap when you're stuck behind slow progress.
Most people know exactly what's blocking them but won't admit it—pointing it out is often half the battle.
Memorable Quotes
Life begins when you move, but life will always get in the way—most of your time is spent between the lines.
Between the lines keeps you safe, but safety isn't where life happens—it's where you get stuck waiting.
You can't do anything if you don't know what you have to fix—awareness is always the first step forward.
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Become aware you're stuck between the lines and identify what's actually keeping you there in that spot.
Take a complete inventory of everything around you—look honestly at what's blocking your path forward now.
Find your opening and make your move—get out from behind whatever's slowing you down and gun it forward.
