Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes STOP Searching for Your Why and START Living April 25, 2025 | Episode - 5080 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever had someone go "coachy coach" on you without permission? In this episode, Scott shares a funny encounter with a life coach who desperately wanted to uncover his "why." Scott challenges the conventional wisdom that you need a clearly defined purpose to achieve your goals. Instead, he offers a refreshing perspective: sometimes you want something because you want it, and that's reason enough to go after it! Featured Story Scott recounts being ambushed by a life coach who kept pressing him about his "why," asking what's driving him and his inner purpose. While Scott acknowledges the importance of knowing your motivation, he shares his real-world observation that thousands accomplish amazing things without clearly articulating their purpose. As Scott puts it in his trademark straight-talk style: "Real people just do stuff. They're just living." Key Takeaways Finding your "why" isn't a prerequisite for success – many people achieve great things by simply taking action on what they want. Your purpose and passion naturally evolve – what drives you today might change tomorrow, and that's perfectly normal. Sometimes the real reason you pursue a goal isn't what you think it is – your true "why" might be hiding from you until you're already on the journey. Memorable Quotes "If you are living your life in search of your why, you ain't never going to find it." "Sometimes you just find yourself doing something that makes you happy and has an impact and kind of checks off all the boxes." "Every single goal you ever wanted is incredibly complicated. It sounded simple when you thought about it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Recognize what makes you happy and excited, rather than following prescribed paths others think you should take. Focus on the impact you want, not the specific method – stay flexible about how you deliver your value to the world. Trust your instincts when something feels right, even if you can't articulate exactly why you're drawn to it. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
