Daily Boost — Motivation and Personal Growth

by Scott Smith

The Daily Boost is a weekday personal growth podcast for adults who live in the real world and want real results. Welcome to the School of Scott! About 10 minutes a day. No canned content, no recycled material — host Scott Smith and his practical way of understanding how life, business, and the world actually work. Some days he'll pump you up. Some days he'll make you think. Some days you'll love him. Some days you'll wonder why you listened. Every day, you'll know exactly what they call him: the nicest renegade you'll ever meet. Smile. Nod. Change everything. That's the code. If you played by the rules. If you built a good life — career, business, relationships. If you decided you want more. The Daily Boost is your show. Topics include personal growth, motivation, purpose, decisions, work, money, relationships, time, and keeping your head straight when things get complicated. 20 years. 5,000+ episodes. 130+ million downloads worldwide. Every day, the School of Scott is in session with a new episode that stands on its own. It's always real, and occasionally pretty funny — because if you can't laugh, what's the point?

LindsayQS · Feb 2024

I’ve been listening daily for about a week now and I’m really enjoying your messages. I like how short and sweet they are so I can listen while eating a quick breakfast before taking on my tasks for the day. Thanks for your inspiration and wisdom! Keep it up!

oli man you poo · Mar 2023

Thank you Scott for being a part of my daily routine. As a 23-year-old trying to figure out what the next step is in life, you remind me that it’s not all a hurry. If you continue to be a good person, spread positivity, have smart goals and stay focused then everything will come in due time. Thank you for being the voice that gets me motivated to go to work every day.
