4 Questions That Improve Self-Confidence October 13, 2025 | Episode 5201 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever notice how confident you are until you're not? Scott's been "training" for his annual physical like it's the Olympics. More cardio, cleaner eating, the works. His wife called him out on it. And yeah, he admits it—that white coat syndrome is real. But here's the thing about confidence. It's not about swagger you can buy at the store. It's about knowing exactly what you're stepping into and having a simple way to validate it. Scott shares four questions from "The Three Minute Rule" that'll change how you approach anything scary. From breaking boards to asking for that raise. Featured Story Scott got his black belt at 33 years old. Walking into that dojo for the first time? People in pajamas making strange noises. But the real terror? Breaking boards. It's just a one-inch pine board. Nothing dramatic. But that first punch through changes everything. Suddenly you want two boards. Then four. Can I use my elbow? What about a kick? That's the moment confidence shifts. From "I can't do this" to "give me more." Scott reveals what happens in your brain when you master that first scary thing—and why the next level always brings a new devil. Important Points Confidence lives at your current level until you step up—then everything feels scary again and you need a new toolkit. The four validation questions work for anything from breaking boards to breaking through your mundane routines. Wisdom isn't being chicken—it's knowing which boards to break and which ones to walk away from. Memorable Quotes "Swagger is expensive. You can't buy it at the store. It's hard to get." "New level, new devil. Every time you step up to a new level, things get a little bit, it throws you out of your confidence zone." "If you can't answer 'are you sure?,' how are you going to be confident?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself what it is and how it works—if you can't explain it, your confidence is built on air. Validate you can actually do it with the time, skill, and resources you have right now. Answer "are you sure?" honestly—this question separates real confidence from empty motivation.

So I just received something very cool.

It's my infinite epigenetics. Now, what is that you ask? Well, it's the only test of its kind that looks at your epigenetics, not just your DNA, but how your genes change based on your daily habits. Just prick your finger, put a few drops of blood on a card, mail it back, and in a couple of weeks, you'll get your results, a complete picture of your health, and the app will tell you your disease risk over the next five years for major things like heart health and brain and memory and type 2 diabetes, kidney and liver health. It also measures 105 health markers. That is a whole lot more than any doctor can do in a single visit for sure. And you can do the test in your own home. I don't know about you, but I don't want to find out about disease when it's too late. By the way, this is a brand new product, and they're still in

We're going to have a conversation. And if it takes a beer, if you're on the other side of the world, that's cool, too. Whatever it takes, okay?

Today, I want to talk about self-confidence.

1:46.7

Self-confidence is one of those things that people have a hard time doing, and we all do. I mean, it's just different levels. We'll talk about that a little bit as time goes on today, but a couple of interesting ideas. A couple of four questions, actually. I pulled out from a book, and I found that this really makes it give you a confident feeling.

I'm a little nervous today. I'm going to the doctor. I don't like doctors. I'm a man. I don't mind going. But this is my annual physical. I know my doctor. This would be the 17th year in a row I've had an annual physical. So he knows me. He's got a history on me. It's a permanent record. And my wife's watching me. She said for the last month, you've been doing more cardio. You've been working on weights and you're eating really, really well. You're really taking care of yourself. Are you in training for your appointment? I said, yes, I am. It's going to be on my permanent record. Why is that? I'm a confident guy, but again, when you get in front of the doctor and I get that white coat syndrome and everything, you all get that. My blood pressure is fine until I see the doctor.

2:52.3

Then it's not.
