How are you? Happy, happy, happy one day. Happy Labor Day here in the United States of America, holiday weekend. Everybody the beach today, right? Or someplace playing around?

And then we get serious fall kicks in again. And it's time to get back to business. It's about darn time. Summer's been too long.

Today we're talking about passion. Oh, passion. Are you living your passion? Do you do it every single day? Do you dream about it? Do you hope you can eventually?

We'll talk about that today because I will tell you passion is really the only thing that's driving me right now in this moment.

Because I had COVID last week. At this point when I'm doing this program, I'm still testing positive. So obviously I'm feeling better, but still there.

Today's challenge will be to see if my passion can drive me through the entire podcast. I think it can because I just get into it. I just like doing it.

I sure hope you can have that feeling with something to do. So bear with me. The big challenge will be how far can I get through the show without having to stop? And there it is.

Not going to do it. Not going to stop and cough. But I'll let you know the end of the show how many times I stopped and edited. Okay.

How are you? My name is Scott Smith. I'm the founder and the chief motivating officer, a title of friend of mine gave to me about 20 years ago.

And they're just going to stuck kind of stayed with it here at motivation to move.com all spelled out. There are mission is pretty simple.

You get out of bed every single day with dreams and desires and things you want to do, right? I know you do. Everybody does. We have something we have to do, but it's hard.

Stuff happens. So what we do. I do show up every single day. I've done this now for almost 16 years, 40, 390 episodes, something like that. 65 million downloads, simple mission.

Drag your butt out of bed and get you to do the things you say you want to do. You're the boss of you, right?

I know that's a problem with me too. I'm the boss of me. I know I told myself to do this. Scott, you're going to do this, but I'm the boss of me. I don't have to.

In some ordination. Yeah, denied. Okay. Sorry. Just my progressive commercial on you.

But every single day, that's what this show is all about. And we're going to do it again today as we dig into passion.

So on Monday before we begin the show, I always have to ask, have you done your homework?

Did you take a minute and just ask yourself a simple question?

I believe if you ask this question, you're going to get answers and you're going to have to face it one way or the other.

If you don't ask a question, I also believe you're going to be lost just wandering through life.

When I believe if you have this question, you're kind of essay, kind of kind of save yourself, right?
