  • The Problem With Self-Help

    The Problem With Self-Help
    Dec 15 2025
    Self-help used to be simple: read a book, take a walk, call your mom. Now it feels like you need a 28-step morning routine, a cold plunge, 17 supplements, and a $90 notebook just to feel like a functioning human being. Somewhere along the way, “improving your life” turned into a performance. This video is about that shift and why so much of modern self-help leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than transformed. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.

  • Why You Always Feel Behind

    Why You Always Feel Behind
    Dec 8 2025
    We rush through our days like we’re trying to speedrun life, bouncing between half-finished thoughts, half-finished tasks, and half-brushed teeth. And somehow, even on the days when nothing is actually wrong… everything still feels off. This video is about that feeling, and why you always think you’re behind, even when you’re not. New here?

  • Why Everything Feels Harder Than It Should

    Why Everything Feels Harder Than It Should
    Dec 1 2025
    We all think an easier life will make us happier. But somewhere along the way, comfort starts working against us. In this video, I explore how “comfort creep” quietly makes life feel harder, why small inconveniences start to break us, and what happens when we finally bring a little friction back into our lives.
