Summary

In this powerful episode of The Daily Boost, Scott Smith tackles the common habit of waiting for permission to pursue our dreams. Drawing from his personal experience as a pilot, Scott reveals how many of us unconsciously seek approval before taking action on our goals. Through engaging storytelling and practical wisdom, he demonstrates why this mindset holds us back from achieving our full potential. The episode kicks off with Scott sharing his proven workout routine for functional fitness, emphasizing the importance of taking action rather than just listening to advice. He then masterfully weaves in his aviation journey to illustrate how breaking free from the permission-seeking mindset can transform our approach to life's challenges. Featured Story Scott shares his journey of becoming a pilot and confronting his fear of air traffic controllers. His flight instructor's pivotal advice - "You're the pilot in command" - becomes a powerful metaphor for taking charge of our lives. This realization transformed not only his flying experience but also his entire approach to pursuing goals. Key Takeaways You don't need permission from others to pursue your dreams and goals Being scared when starting something new is natural, but shouldn't stop you You are the "pilot in command" of your own life Taking action is more important than collecting strategies and techniques No one is watching or judging your decisions as much as you think Functional fitness requires consistency and simple, proven approaches The biggest obstacles often exist in our own minds Memorable Quotes "You're the pilot in command of your life. You're in charge. You're the grown-ass adult who's in charge." "Figure out what you want to do and have the freaking courage to go after it. That's it." "I can reach any goal when I focus on what means the most." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify what you truly want to do without seeking external validation Take immediate action rather than waiting for the perfect moment or permission Stay consistent with your chosen path, just like with Scott's workout routine Connect With Scott: Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
