| 0:52.5 | So I was driving in my 2024, very well-appointed Jeep Grand Cherokee the other day, looking at my car play and my logo for the Daily Boost podcast. |
| 1:02.8 | I was thinking, what podcast do I want to hear? |
| 1:04.5 | And my first thought, no kidding, politics and productivity. |
| 1:07.3 | I need a boost. |
| 1:09.6 | I need a daily boost. I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. I said, no, I'm not And she said, hold my oatmeal. |
| 2:51.2 | You're going to do what? I said, no, I'm not. I'm not going to talk politics. We don't do that. Although I do sometimes. I do. I will get into it. And today just a little bit. I have coaching groups, business coaching groups mostly. And we are extreme left and extreme right. And while I say extreme left, we are from go protest to scream about protest and everywhere in between. And we get along so well and we have the conversations and because they're business people and they need to learn to communicate with the world. So I will go there, but I won't go there here today. I'm not going to trigger anybody in that way. Don't worry about that, although maybe just a little bit. My name is Scott Smith. Good to have you here today. The reason I thought about this because I got an Instagram message from a gentleman in Greenland. I've been enjoying Instagram, by the way. Hey, Scott Smith at Instagram, if you use that platform, it pops up on my phone and I go, oh, look, somebody's nice. And I send you a note.

Wouldn't that be great to get luckier more than you think you would? So I got a gentleman there. He said, Scott, I'm in Greenland. and he didn't say it this way. I'll say it. We're like, we're going out over here. This is weird. All this stuff that's happening right now. I get it, man. Well, actually, I don't get anything because I'm an American. I don't understand anything outside America. You know that's true. Although you know with me, that's not exactly true. I have a worldwide worldview. |
| 3:09.0 | That's redundant. Nonetheless, he's kind of freaking out. I said, I get you, man. I'm not going to get political. He said, it seems like a lot of people are bullies. I said, yes, there's a lot of bullies all over the world. Power, it's politics, is everything. If you think this is new guys, I didn't even know what to say after that. |
| 3:09.5 | It's not. |
| 3:24.3 | Some people say it's been 10 years. It fell apart 10 years ago. No, it didn't. Some people say it fell apart 20 years ago. No, it didn't. Fell apart like 2,000 years ago. No, it didn't. I think it fell apart the minute the planet was formed. Read a history book. You figure it out. |
| 3:24.8 | There's nothing new here. |
