Summary

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Are You Lying About Your Life? August 15, 2025 | Episode 5160 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I'm calling out the biggest lie people tell themselves - and everyone else - about their lifestyle. You know that "remote freedom lifestyle" everyone's bragging about on social media? Half of y'all are lying through your teeth. You're glued to your phone till midnight, stressed about client calls, and working through your kid's birthday party. That's not freedom, that's a prison with better marketing. Time to get honest about what you're actually doing versus what you're saying you're doing. Featured Story Scott confronts a friend who insists he's living the "remote freedom lifestyle" while constantly posting on Facebook about work stress and being available to clients 24/7. The friend claims total freedom but is actually chained to his laptop and phone, taking client calls during family time and working in constant "red alert" mode. When Scott called him out directly, the friend admitted he was "sort of" working on it - which opened the door to real change. Important Points People aren't watching what you say about your lifestyle - they're watching what you actually do. You can't achieve the life you want unless you're brutally honest about where you currently are. Sometimes you need someone direct enough to call you on your stuff in order to make real progress. Memorable Quotes "It's not what you say you do. It's not what you think you do. It's what you do." "You'll never get what you're working on unless you're aware of what you're doing." "My point of view that you're a hot mess is what you gave me. I didn't think you were a hot mess." Scott's Three-Step Approach Look at your actual actions over the past week, not what you intended to do or planned to do. Ask yourself: "Am I living the lifestyle I claim to be living, or am I lying to myself?" Find someone direct enough to give you honest feedback about the gap between your words and actions.
