 Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Seven Old-School Rules That Beat Modern BS August 4, 2025 | Episode 5151 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's fired up and ready to shake up your Monday with seven old-school rules that'll shift your perspective on happiness and success. No tactical nonsense today – just pure mindset gold that'll get you moving forward instead of staying stuck in preparation mode. From ditching the "getting ready" excuses to learning when to give monkeys the boot, Scott delivers his signature blend of wisdom and wit. Plus, he shares why patting yourself on the butt might be the motivation hack you never knew you needed. Featured Story Scott kicks off with a weekend motorcycle mishap that turned into a 99-degree disaster in Florida heat. What started as a wild hair idea to ride 40 miles in 112-degree heat index became a lesson in environmental awareness and listening to your wife's wisdom. The story perfectly sets up his main message: sometimes we need to slow down when things get bumpy, but never stop moving forward. It's classic Scott – turning a sweaty mistake into motivation gold. Important Points Stop "fixing to get ready" and take action on what matters to you right now, because if it was truly important, you'd find a way to do it anyway. Ask for help from real people who've walked your path before, not just AI that gives you affirmation bias disguised as brilliant advice. Practice daily PYOTB (Pat Yourself On The Back) because you're your own best cheerleader, and nobody can pump you up better than you can. Memorable Quotes "Stop fixing to get ready. If you want something, there is no reason to put it off." "Don't give monkeys piggyback rides. Monkeys can walk. Monkeys can fly." "You're your own best cheerleader. There is nobody on this planet who can pump you up more than you can." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify one thing you've been "fixing to get ready" for and take the first action step today, no matter how small. Find someone who's already accomplished what you want and ask them for specific advice instead of relying on AI or guessing. Establish your own daily PYOTB routine by literally patting yourself on the back or butt and saying "I done good" to anchor positive momentum.
