Let me tell you about our sponsor,

0:02

Audible, and something crazy I am doing

0:04

lately with Audible. I am listening to

0:06

fiction. I just don't do that. I

0:08

mean, I've always used Audible to help

0:10

me learn. It's my go-to and I'm

0:12

exercising when I'm in the car, and

0:14

it still is. But right now I'm

0:16

completely wrapped up in eruption by Michael

0:18

Crichton. and James Patterson. I'm just loving

0:20

the story. That's what's cool about audible.

0:22

They have just about anything you could

0:24

ask for with over a million audio

0:26

books and podcasts and exclusive audible originals.

0:28

It's easy, it's convenient, it's on my

0:30

phone, I listen to my iPad, my

0:32

computer, it's just seamless. And I may

0:34

be listening to fiction right now, but

0:36

Ottawa has advice and insights from leading

0:38

experts and professionals on better health, on

0:40

relationships, on careers, finance, investing, more. Plus,

0:42

audible members can keep one title a

0:44

month from the entire a month from

0:46

the entire catalog. Two weeks ago I

0:48

re-listened to the ultimate Jim Roan for

0:50

a little motivation. So good. So if

0:52

you haven't tried audible or it's been

0:54

0:56

1:00

audible.com/boost. So I have a new skin

1:02

care routine which is something I usually

1:05

don't talk about, but I'm a fan

1:07

because I started using one skin are

1:09

sponsored today and I'm glad they are.

1:12

It's easy, it takes a few seconds,

1:14

and it smells good too. I've been

1:16

using it, I think, about a month

1:18

now, and my wife, I should say,

1:21

says she can tell the difference, and

1:23

that is all that matters. So here's

1:25

a story. One-skin's founding team of female

1:28

scientists started at a cellular level to

1:30

create an entirely new approach to skin

1:32

care with their OS-1 peptide. The first

1:35

scientifically proven to reverse skin aging by

1:37

switching off the dysfunctional, all that stuff.

1:39

I love one skin. It's a great

1:41

experience and it gets results. What more

1:44

could you ask for? So right now

1:46

you can get 15% off one skin

1:48

with the code Daily Boost at one

1:51

1:53

Get 15% off one skin with the

1:55

1:57

Friday! Happy happy happy happy Friday my

2:00

goodness I love my Fridays today is

2:02

today is today's actually Friday I'm recording

2:04

today and at 1130 this morning the

2:07

grandkids are coming over the two boys

2:09

and I have decided to go do

2:11

something with them I don't know I

2:13

mean they're old enough now I can

2:16

take them with that cart I mean they're

2:18

like nine and 11 now so I don't

2:20

know we're gonna have something let's do what

2:22

happens so some lifelong success wisdom today if

2:24

you may it's been a lot of

2:26

conversation of insight between the lines here

2:28

What I kind of want to do

2:30

is pass on a few ideas. Some

2:33

stoic stuff that you maybe have heard

2:35

before, maybe a little bit different take

2:37

on it for you. It's 2,000 years

2:39

old. Trust me guys, you may think

2:41

you know everything today, but one of

2:44

the things that happens when you get

2:46

out of your 20s and your 30s,

2:48

you recognize it. Oh, I did not

2:50

invent it. Did I? It's already been

2:52

invented. I know, I know, I know, I

2:54

know. You've ever been watching watching a movie movie.

2:57

I read Troy or something like that. Some old

2:59

movie that takes place thousands and thousands of years

3:01

ago. And you already be watching a movie like

3:03

that and you be thinking, well, they have a

3:05

little bit different accent, but basically they're saying the

3:07

same things that we're saying today. You can

3:09

recognize that. And then they say a bad word. Like a word,

3:12

you know, people tell us not to say. And you know, well,

3:14

he said it two, three thousand years ago. Have you ever

3:16

ever done that? If you ever do that you'll recognize

3:18

that you'll recognize that you'll recognize

3:20

that. For the most part humans or so

3:22

humans we're still doing the same thing we haven't

3:24

evolved that much Although I tell you what I

3:27

don't have a lot of confidence in Evolution these

3:29

days because I think evolution was never

3:31

designed to end up with a brain in

3:33

a bottle But you know it could happen. How are

3:35

you? It's a daily boost from motivation What that's

3:37

a way to start a Friday, isn't it? Well

3:39

come on. This is a between the lines conversation

3:41

my goal here on these shows by the way my

3:43

name is Scott is pretty simple It's to take

3:46

all this stuff I get to, I've learned over

3:48

the years, and take all the conversations I have

3:50

throughout the course of the week, a lot of

3:52

them, many of them, with very successful people, and

3:54

kind of toss them out to you. It's kind of

3:56

like a parade, and you're on the fire truck, and

3:58

you're kind of thrown out. So you can either

4:01

sit on the curb and let the kids

4:03

get it or you can jump in and

4:05

get in some of yourself. That's all. It's

4:07

pretty simple. Every Friday I like to ask

4:09

a question. How do you want to feel?

4:12

This question actually arrived one day because I

4:14

was on a call years and years ago

4:16

and Scott I just I just don't feel

4:18

good man I just don't feel happy and

4:20

just don't feel like I think I should

4:23

feel and and then my infinite wisdom I

4:25

sat back I said hmm well how do

4:27

you want to you want to you want

4:29

to feel? It's actually a very technical question,

4:31

but here's the bottom line is that if

4:34

you don't stop for just a moment, at

4:36

least occasionally and say, I know, the world

4:38

is making me feel like, yeah. If you

4:40

don't stop and say, but how do I

4:43

want to feel? How are you ever going

4:45

to get there? Not going to happen, is

4:47

it? Okay, let's pass down some wisdom to

4:49

you, okay? I already did a little bit,

4:51

but you know, that was the easy stuff.

4:54

Let's the easy stuff that's already been written.

4:56

Have you ever noticed there's always somebody

4:59

smarter, more successful, and wiser? And by

5:01

the way, I'm not talking about those

5:03

people who pretend to be the fakers

5:05

to the makers. No, there's actually somebody

5:07

who is smarter, who is wiser. I'm

5:09

smarter and wiser than some of y'all.

5:11

And some of y'all, many y'all, like

5:14

90 plus percent of y'all, surprised crap

5:16

out of me. I was going to

5:18

say a nasty word there, but not

5:20

going to say it. It's crazy. The

5:22

minute you kind of figure that out

5:24

and be humble and just, you know,

5:26

basically get in line with everybody else

5:29

because we're all the same, life changes.

5:31

Find the right scene. Choose your friends,

5:33

your situations. If you want to rise

5:35

in life, you can't be held down

5:37

by others. This is somewhat hard to

5:39

do sometimes because they're my friend. I've

5:42

known them forever. Okay, that's a clue.

5:44

Pay attention. Figure it out. It

5:46

can be new friends, people you hire, don't

5:48

hire. If you feel like you just can't

5:51

make progress, if you feel like they just

5:53

don't understand you, if you feel like you're

5:55

always explaining yourself, if you feel trapped, there's

5:57

a good chance people around you are supporting

6:00

you in every possible loving way. and yet,

6:02

maybe that's not what you need. I think

6:04

in the lexicon these days, they call it

6:06

enabling. I guess people can enable you to

6:09

be better person or enable you to stay

6:11

where you are or enable you to be

6:13

worse, huh? It's up to you to protect

6:15

yourself from that. Speaking of protection, protect your

6:18

time. Seneca said we're tight-fisted with property and

6:20

money. Yeah, we think too little, but wasting

6:22

time. The one thing for which. We should

6:24

be the toughest of miser's. Life is short.

6:27

Haven't figured that out? Life is short. It

6:29

goes really fast. Every gray hair on my

6:31

head. I'm like, really? How that happened? That's

6:33

really strange. Because that wasn't there years ago.

6:36

Well, I didn't show it anyway. Never do

6:38

anything out of habit. Always think about how

6:40

you can do things better and always question

6:42

yourself. Let me follow us what people's head

6:45

explode. Scott, never, I read to stomach habits.

6:47

James clear you said he was to wrote

6:49

a good book. And you should do a

6:52

lot of habits. In fact, your brain is

6:54

going to do a lot of habits. You're

6:56

going to get things built into you. It's

6:58

going to go from short-term memory to long-term

7:01

memory. It's going to be a repeatable pattern.

7:03

You're just going to do it. So part

7:05

of my job as a coach is to

7:07

kind of break those patterns sometime and time.

7:10

Because I don't know if my job as

7:12

a coach is to kind of break those

7:14

patterns some time of time because I don't

7:16

know if you've. Because I don't know if

7:19

you've, I want to break those patterns, or

7:21

some of break those patterns, sometimes, or some

7:23

of, or some of, if you've, if you've,

7:25

if you've, if you've, if you've, if you've,

7:28

if you've, if you've, if you've, if you've,

7:30

if you've, if you've, you've, you've, you've, you've,

7:32

you've, you've, you've, you've, you've You're going to

7:34

do some things out of habit. Make sure

7:37

these are good habits you're doing and question

7:39

them when it happens to make sure they

7:41

are good. And if so, keep doing them.

7:44

If not, just make sure you think about

7:46

it. That's not me talking about it. That's

7:48

my experience. That's stoic stuff. Keep it simple.

7:50

Do your job. Bill of check, right? So

7:53

that do your job. Approach every task as

7:55

it were your last because it very well

7:57

could be. on the locker room. for

8:00

the players, right? Do your job. It could be

8:02

the last, and one day it will be,

8:04

and people are not fired up by fear.

8:06

Most of us are not motivated by fear.

8:08

That's a bad thing for me to say.

8:10

It's like an insurance salesman. An

8:12

agent, I'm sorry. I'll apologize.

8:14

An insurance agent. An insurance

8:17

agent will never sell that you're gonna

8:19

die. You need to buy life insurance. Well,

8:21

I don't need to buy life insurance

8:23

because you're gonna die. No, I'm not

8:25

gonna buy your product. Buy live insurance

8:27

so you can make sure your family's

8:30

safe. Yeah, give me the biggest ball as you've

8:32

got. See how that works? You're going to

8:34

die someday. Number six. McDonald's meets

8:53

failure. Using your success to

8:55

justify complacency is common. It's

8:57

also easy, which is why most people

8:59

do it. You can do more and be

9:01

more. So adapt and learn from your

9:03

failure. Don't write on the success. I

9:05

do it. Listen, this podcast, top 1%

9:08

podcast in the world. Not everybody loves

9:10

it. Not everybody loves it. Not everybody

9:12

loves it. Not everybody loves it. That's

9:14

okay. I want half the people listen

9:17

to me to hate me and leave

9:19

me. And when I hang out with

9:21

you're my tribe. You're my tribe. You're

9:24

my tribe. You're my tribe. But

9:26

the way you do this is you

9:28

bump into the walls, you try everything.

9:30

I would not have had a top 1%

9:32

podcast in the world for in our

9:35

19th season, if I didn't fail a

9:37

lot, if you want to hear my

9:39

failures, listen to last week. But

9:41

I look at it and I say, man,

9:43

wait a second, let's figure this out.

9:45

Let below your means. The more you

9:47

need to work to maintain your needs,

9:50

unless you will enjoy what you have.

9:53

Well, that's some good stuff right

9:55

there, isn't it? That's a new thing

9:58

though, Scott. It's totally new. No,

10:00

it's not. It's always been the

10:02

way. See, the difference is today

10:04

you can live way beyond your

10:06

means and still be a broke,

10:08

poor person and not even know

10:11

it because of credit and all

10:13

that stuff. But if you got

10:15

2,000 years ago, you better live

10:17

below your means or you're in

10:19

trouble. Listen, good advice, right? You

10:22

know what it comes to when we think about

10:24

all this stuff as we go through this wonderful

10:26

wisdom that is there so much misery in the

10:28

world? And I just can't wait till chat GPT

10:31

can just be injected in my brain. Actually, you

10:33

know what because the chat GPT were invested I'd

10:35

be hallucinating all the time I be hallucinating all

10:37

the time like it I be hallucinating all the

10:39

time like it does most of the time. That's

10:41

all there is. I love AI. I do. It's

10:43

a very useful thing to do, but I'm going

10:46

to do. I know you want to be fancy

10:48

and I want you to be fancy. I want

10:50

you to do the exciting stuff, but I'm telling

10:52

you, comes down to the basics of life. I

10:54

mean, you can't ride a bike if you can't

10:56

balance the bike, right? It's pretty simple stuff. So

10:58

we keep it simple around here for a simple

11:01

reason. By the way, everything's scottish, but I do,

11:03

if you want to work with me, you'll get

11:05

one of my groups, if you just want to

11:07

communicate with me. If you just want to communicate

11:09

with me, just want to communicate with me, just

11:11

want to communicate with me, just want to communicate

11:14

with me. Just go to communicate with me. Just

11:16

go to communicate with me. Just go to communicate

11:18

with me. Just go to communicate with me. Wide

11:20

open to that, I'd love to hear from you.

11:22

And who knows, maybe I can help, we get

11:24

a relationship in a different level maybe. Motivation of

11:26
