How are you? Come on in. We're going to talk about being happy every single minute of every single day for the rest of your life.

I'm waiting for your laugh. Is that possible? I suppose there are some, I'm generally pretty

happy. I'm content or happy most of the time, but not always. There are moments. I get it.

I suppose some people are happy all the time, but I reasoned a long time ago using my Scott Logic

brain that if I did things I like to do most of the day, most days, I'd probably be happy most days. If I did stuff that sucked, I'd probably be not like life, right? So I started to balance that out on some tricks I learned over time. One, I learned a long time ago on radio. I'll share that with you today. And then I established my six passions.

I'll share that with you as well. So a couple tools for you today. If that's okay. How are you? It's a daily boost. My name is Scott Smith. Good to have you here today. Thank you for stopping by. I, in summertime, when it's slow, everybody's still on vacation, I guess. I got to vacation in a couple of weeks. I'm going to go to North Carolina, going to ride the tail of the dragon.

Five of us are heading out of Orlando, jumping on the motorcycle, 600 mile drive. Going to do the mountain roads in North Carolina, do the tail. Look up if you haven't heard about it. 317 turns over 11 miles. People say to me, Scott, why would they make a road like that? I said, it can only come down to lots of moonshine. That's all I can think, because it's weird. So what I'm going to teach you today,

but I pulled it from my archives here, because I haven't talked about this for a while,

when I pulled it out, I recognized that I had received an email from a young lady who was a kindergarten teacher years ago.

And she said, Scott, I drew this because this is really going to help me run my class.

The kids love it.

It's that simple, right?

And it made a lot of sense.

So as I talk about through this today, the very first part of this, you're going to say, man, this is going to work for me.

And if you have kids or you teach, it's really, but it'll work for you too. So I learned this because balancing your day with activities that you like is going to make you happier. Like I said in the beginning. And if not, it's not going to make you unhappy. It's like people go through their whole career 40, 45 years working a job that sucks. They balance her day with things that suck and they hate their job and they hate their life. And then they get retired. they balance it with things they like and life is good. Frankly, I don't believe in that. I gave up on that concept about 25 years ago. I said, no way. I, no, I'm not going to do that. So when I began my career when I was 18, my first career, I was a radio disc jockey. Hey, everybody. I was kind of a, I was kind of the end of the boss jock era. If you're from the west coast from California, from L.A., from San Francisco, you know the boss jocks, kind of the end of personality radio. Go figure. I started in personality radio, right? Go figure. How'd that happen? You can't even tell can you. So when I walked him being the personality, the boss said, okay, we got to

rein this guy in and remind him. figure how'd that happen. You can't even tell, can you? So when I walked him, being the personality,

the boss said, okay, we got to rein this guy in and remind him, his job is actually to play the music. I didn't even get it. They don't want to hear me. No, you got to play the music. That's what keeps people happy. But that's really hard to do. Now, these days, they play music on computer. Back then, we played records and CDs, we actually literally had every three minutes had to change it.

It was a physical thing we had to do.

It's a physical thing we had

to do. It's a hard job, honestly. T-shirts, pizza, girls, it wasn't that hard. He said that

over there on the wall, that's circular thing that looks like a clock, but actually looks like

somebody took a bunch of crayons to it and drew some pie pieces in it, that's a format clock. I'm like, a format. I don't do formats. You know, he said, yes, you do. You work here. You do a format. Here's a format clock. It's drawn on a piece of paper. It's a big circle. For those of you don't understand what an analog clock looks like, You might have seen it before. It's that circular thing on the wall that has 12 numbers on it and has a little hand that ticks all the way.
