We've grown up surrounded by beauty ideals that promised confidence, but often delivered shame.

In a special episode of a millennial mind, I sat down with Nicola Adams to explore how appearance-based

compliments and body talk shape our self-worth without us realising it. In partnership with the

Dove Self-Esteen project, we unpack the tools to change the conversation for

ourselves and for future generations. Listen now and download the free body confidence journal

UK. How are you? Happy Monday. Come on in. Man, you guys dodged a bullet, and I was the bullet.

The podcast you're going to hear today wasn't the one I recorded. I recorded another one. It came in at almost 20 minutes long. And I

normally go for 10 minutes, but it wasn't that. It was like over the top, in your face, fun, upbeat, a little bit, maybe controversial, really good stuff. And I got up Sunday morning and my wife said, are you going to do that thing? You did? And I said, I don't think so. So I'm checking. I'm running. I'm not going to

make you do it today, okay? But we're going to do a little shorter, but give you some mindset work today. It's not a tip and trick thing, but some stuff you really need to think about. Because what you're seeking is not found in a list of do this, do that, do this. It's how you think. It's what you believe, all stuff like that. So we'll talk about that a little bit today. Okay.

It is a daily boost. My name is Scott Smith.

Thank you for stopping by. Yeah, it's kind of kind of scared me a little bit. If you know me

you know that I've got a couple different sides to me. I get very dramatic. I can get very emotional. I get extremely funny. I can get political. I can go right at you. Sharp as a knife in so many

ways. And that's really nothing we need to do here on the daily basis. So I'll try to pull back on that a little bit. If you want more of that, you got to get on a private call with me. And I'll give it to you there. I promise you that. But I just felt bad about doing it. But I did. I was talking a little bit about a friend this morning about that. I was at church. And I said, I go back and make a podcast. I said, what are you going to

redo it for? I said, well, I just had too much energy. He said, well, where are you getting the energy from? Good questions, right? So I thought I'd share it with you. Here's the energy. I, um, a ways back, I looked at a lot of things that were around me. I want to walk my talk. I want to always walk my talk with you. I want to do what I say, what I advise you to do, I do. And I said, there's some things about my business I didn't like. Didn't like the way the algorithms are going. Didn't like some of the people that were coming into my world. I know I'm supposed to be positive and upbeat, but they were just evil. They were not nice people. I said, I don't want to do that anymore. So I started making the changes and slowly getting rid of the toxic people that had kind of come from the Internet, that kind of stuff. Focus on good people, nice people, people thought like me. I said, you know, I'm getting older too, even though middle age is now 60 to 80, so I guess I'm still right in the middle of the game. I said, I want to keep my sharpness. I don't want to keep my sense of humor.

I want to be reliable and relatable and relevant for as long as I possibly can.

Obviously, not far from, very far from losing that right now.
