    Science Behind Getting Excited About Life
    Sep 2 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Science Behind Getting Excited About Life September 2, 2025 | Episode 5172 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott gets fired up about one of his favorite motivational drivers: anticipation. Turns out, your brain gets more excited about what's coming than what you actually get. He breaks down the science behind why anticipation creates more dopamine than the reward itself. Plus, Scott shares his "anticipation engine" formula that he's been using with clients for 20 years. From concert tickets to motorcycle trips, discover why having something to look forward to might be the missing piece in your motivation puzzle. Featured Story Twenty years ago, Scott's world turned upside down when his wife received a terminal diagnosis the same day he launched his business. She died 100 days later. But even facing certain death, Scott chose to see possibilities instead of just darkness. That decision to embrace the ugly stuff while staying optimistic launched everything he does today. It's a powerful reminder that you can choose to keep your chin up and make life work anyway, even when the world gets crazy. Important Points Anticipation creates more excitement and motivation than actually receiving the reward itself. Your brain's dopamine system fires when you anticipate something good, not when you get it. Building an "anticipation engine" requires having things to look forward to this week, next week, next month, and next year. Memorable Quotes "Anticipation is actually the reward. Isn't that cool?" "When you get real about it, when you just relax a little bit and surrender a little bit and say the world's going to be kind of evil and crazy sometimes, and we're just going to be upbeat and positive and optimistic and go make it work anyway, boom, life happens." "I cannot overstate the importance of having something that you anticipate off in your future that you just get excited about." Scott's Three-Step Approach Put something exciting on your calendar that personally fires you up, not something boring that won't create anticipation. Create expectations with high confidence by choosing outcomes you believe will happen on a scale of zero to 10. Build anticipation at different time intervals by having things to look forward to this week, next week, next month, and further out.

  • Motivation Myth: What Really Drives Success

    Motivation Myth: What Really Drives Success
    Sep 1 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Motivation Myth: What Really Drives Success September 1, 2025 | Episode - 5171 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description It's Labor Day, and Scott's firing up about motivation – the real kind, not the unicorn-and-rainbows version. He's cutting through the fluff to give you three rock-solid ways to stay motivated when life throws you curveballs. From why your body holds the key to your mindset, to how your self-talk is either building you up or tearing you down, this episode delivers the straight truth about getting what you want. Ready to stop making excuses and start making moves? Featured Story Scott shares his honest take on motivation in 2025, especially for remote workers wondering if they're really working. He dives into the psychology behind what really drives us – spoiler alert: it's not what most people think. Through his signature blend of humor and hard truth, Scott reveals why inspiration almost always leads to automatic motivation and how most people stumble onto their purpose instead of finding it through some grand plan. It's the kick in the pants you didn't know you needed. Important Points Your physiology dictates your feelings more than your psychology – when you move your body, you wake up your emotions and make anything possible. If you're feeling unmotivated, you're not unfocused – you're focused on the wrong thing, and you need to swing that focus around to something that excites you. The words you say to yourself create the emotions you have, and negative self-talk will drag you down faster than anything else in your life. Memorable Quotes "The easiest way for you to break free from a slump or to get what you want is to take a step. Stand up, take a step and repeat." "If you are feeling unmotivated, you are unfocused. You're not unfocused – you're focused on something else." "You want to stay motivated, get excited, period. Boom. Get a big goal. Go after it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Move your body intentionally – lift weights, get out of breath, or at minimum start overwalking to let your default brain kick in with great ideas. Redirect your focus from what's not working to something that genuinely excites you, because focus fuels your motivational fire. Monitor your self-talk ruthlessly and eliminate negative words that talk you out of what you want to accomplish. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • When You're Stuck, Ask This One Question

    When You're Stuck, Ask This One Question
    Aug 29 2025
    Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes When You're Stuck, Ask This One Question August 29, 2025 | Episode 5170 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel completely stuck with no idea what to do next? Scott shares his go-to question that cuts through confusion and reveals your path forward. This simple yet powerful approach has helped countless people move from paralysis to action. You don't even need to write it down—just remember to use it when life throws you a curveball. Featured Story Scott opens up about a pivotal moment in a Home Depot parking lot during his first wife's terminal illness. Faced with a medical crisis and no clue how to help, he asked himself one question that changed everything. Within hours, he had hospice care arranged and a full support team in place. What seemed impossible became manageable through this simple but profound approach. Important Points Asking "What can I do?" always reveals a clear path forward, even in the most challenging situations. Your mind will give you an answer when you ask this question—but you might not like what comes up. Most of us hit rock bottom in different areas of our lives regularly, and that's actually normal. Memorable Quotes "What can I do? No matter how challenging the situation, answering that question always will reveal a clear path." "When you open a new door, you'll find a new opportunity. So start opening more doors." "Feeling empowered in this world that drains your energy is like a Tesla on a cross-country trip without a charging station." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself "What can I do?" when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Accept whatever answer comes to mind, even if you don't want to hear it. Take action on that answer, whether you like it or not—that's where the magic happens. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
