Summary

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes How to Build Your Bridge to Real Change September 11, 2025 | Episode 5179 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott shares his mind-blowing experience at a Christian worship conference with 2,500 leaders and reveals the life-changing bridge concept he uses with every coaching client. This isn't your typical "just make a plan" advice. Scott breaks down the real reason most people get stuck halfway to their goals and why timing your leap matters more than you think. If you've ever started something and never finished it, or jumped too soon and crashed, this episode will change how you approach any major life transition. Featured Story Scott stepped way outside his comfort zone at a four-and-a-half-day worship conference, spending 15 hours in what he calls "a highly meditative state." This unexpected experience with 2,500 worship leaders opened his eyes to the power of surrounding yourself with like-minded people heading in the same direction. Even though he's still processing what happened, the lesson was clear: sometimes you've got to dive into tribes that align with your growth, even when you're not "over the top" about everything they do. Important Points Meet yourself where you are right now, not where you used to be or where you want to be, because that's the only place real change can begin. Build a peaceful, stable foundation in your current life before attempting any major transition, or you'll end up with two unstable messes instead of one. The magic happens at about 70% completion when you have enough momentum to make the leap, but most people either quit too early or wait too long. Memorable Quotes "Meet yourself where you are. Because a lot of y'all are reaching back in time with the person you used to be. And some of y'all are stuck on who you want to be." "I work with stable people. I don't work with unstable people." "Build your bridge, stand up, take a step, repeat. Just keep going until you get the other side. Easy peasy." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stabilize your current foundation by getting bills paid, life organized, and creating a peaceful base where you are today before making any major moves. Research and begin building the foundation for where you want to go, whether that's school, a new career, or major life change, and start putting pieces in motion. Wait until you're about 70% ready, then take the leap with enough momentum and stability to succeed on both sides of your bridge.

This was so different for me, man. but yet I'm the kind of guy that given an opportunity to step into a world that maybe, you know, I'm a fan of and yet don't really understand completely and step in with people who are super fans, if you will, and just kind of get into it, you know, and just kind of relax into it.
