Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes When You're Stuck, Ask This One Question August 29, 2025 | Episode 5170 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel completely stuck with no idea what to do next? Scott shares his go-to question that cuts through confusion and reveals your path forward. This simple yet powerful approach has helped countless people move from paralysis to action. You don't even need to write it down—just remember to use it when life throws you a curveball. Featured Story Scott opens up about a pivotal moment in a Home Depot parking lot during his first wife's terminal illness. Faced with a medical crisis and no clue how to help, he asked himself one question that changed everything. Within hours, he had hospice care arranged and a full support team in place. What seemed impossible became manageable through this simple but profound approach. Important Points Asking "What can I do?" always reveals a clear path forward, even in the most challenging situations. Your mind will give you an answer when you ask this question—but you might not like what comes up. Most of us hit rock bottom in different areas of our lives regularly, and that's actually normal. Memorable Quotes "What can I do? No matter how challenging the situation, answering that question always will reveal a clear path." "When you open a new door, you'll find a new opportunity. So start opening more doors." "Feeling empowered in this world that drains your energy is like a Tesla on a cross-country trip without a charging station." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself "What can I do?" when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Accept whatever answer comes to mind, even if you don't want to hear it. Take action on that answer, whether you like it or not—that's where the magic happens. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
