Daily Boost — Clear Thinking for Real Life
By Scott Smith
The Daily Boost is a real-life conversation about thinking clearly, living well, and navigating the world without losing your sense of humor—or yourself. Hosted by longtime coach and broadcaster Scott Smith, the show feels less like traditional personal growth and more like finally talking about life the way thoughtful adults actually experience it. Scott has a rare ability to go deep without getting heavy—covering money, work, faith, purpose, relationships, and the world around us—while keeping the conversation human, honest, and often surprisingly light.

Episodes run about 15 minutes and stand alone, making them easy to fit into your d
