Summary

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes You Already Know How to Make That Decision September 9, 2025 | Episode - 5177 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's back from an intense conference and fired up about decision making! Fresh off four and a half days of non-stop conversations, he's diving into why you're probably overthinking every choice you face. The truth? You already know how to make decisions. You've got the wisdom, the experience, and the inner knowledge to figure out just about anything. Scott breaks down why we get stuck on the fence and how to tap into that decision-making superpower you were born with. Featured Story Scott takes us on a journey through the hero's journey - yes, like in the movies! He connects how every blockbuster film mirrors your decision-making process. From being a "hot mess" with a problem to eventually rising up and winning the day, Scott shows how taking action (even imperfect action) leads to the wisdom you need to make better decisions. Plus, he confesses his own decision-making kryptonite: restaurants with too many choices! Important Points You already possess the wisdom to make most decisions if you're over 25 years old and have lived through enough life experiences. Decision-making is your most dynamic tool in your personal growth toolkit, and the ability to decide quickly and accurately is incredibly powerful. Getting into action mode helps you gather the information needed to make logical decisions, rather than sitting on the fence getting "splinters on your butt." Memorable Quotes "I actually believe that you pretty much know how to make a decision. I think you have all the information you need to make a decision." "Decision-making is the most dynamic tool you have in your personal growth toolkit." "Everything you do has already been figured out. Your job is simply to get those emotions aside and get into action mode." Scott's Three-Step Approach Lean on your inner wisdom and the experience you've gained over your lifetime instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Get into action mode by taking steps toward what you want to figure out, which will help you gather the information needed for logical decisions. Stop sitting on the fence and choose action over analysis paralysis, trusting that you'll figure it out as you go. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
