Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life May 29, 2025 | Episode 5104 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I discuss the valuable lessons I've learned from the women in my life—my wives, moms, daughters, and other influential women. I share wisdom from historical figures like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, exploring how women have shaped my perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. From the “look” that every married man knows about the constructive power of silence, I reflect on how women's wisdom has guided me through nearly two decades of podcasting and life itself. Featured Story Scott reflects on his relationships with the important women in his life, sharing personal insights about marriage, wisdom, and the complementary roles that men and women play together. He weaves personal anecdotes with historical quotes from first ladies and influential women, creating a tribute to the feminine wisdom that has shaped his journey over 19 years of podcasting. Important Points Women possess a unique wisdom that often guides and “tames” the men in their lives, creating balance in relationships. True strength is revealed when women face challenging situations - they rise to the occasion with remarkable resilience. Marriage is an active verb, not a passive noun. It requires daily effort and intentional love to make it work. Memorable Quotes “Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.” “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “Marriage is not a noun. It's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Pay attention to the wisdom of the women around you and actively listen to their insights. Recognize that men and women are different but complementary, bringing unique strengths to relationships. Apply the lessons learned from feminine wisdom to become a better partner, father, and human being. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Clay and frequent guest Lindsay Chervinsky discuss the American Revolution in a “live” podcast recording in Vail, Colorado. Was George Washington a great military strategist? How vital was Jefferson's Declaration of Independence when it was written? Why weren't women incorporated as full citizens — as Abigail Adams suggested — when America re-constituted itself in the 1770s and 1780s? Was what happened in those dramatic years a true revolution — or merely a separation from the mother country England? How important was Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense? This program was the first time Clay and Lindsay had met in person and one of the few live audience recordings of Listening to America. This podcast was recorded live on March 27, 2025.

Today on the Brett Winterble Show Brett celebrated Women's Month announcing A Symphony of Strength: Celebrating American Women From the quill-dipped hands of the Revolution to the keyboard clicks of Silicon Valley, American women have woven an indelible thread into the fabric of our nation. March, Women's History Month, isn't just a nod to the past; it's a vibrant celebration of the present and a bold stride toward the future, a symphony of strength played by generations of pioneering women. Even in the nation’s infancy, women were more than silent partners. Think of Abigail Adams, whose letters to her husband John were a masterclass in political philosophy, demanding, “Remember the ladies.” While not holding formal office, she shaped the discourse and demanded inclusion. As the frontier expanded, women like Sacagawea guided expeditions, their knowledge and resilience paving the way for westward expansion. As industry boomed, women like Madam C.J. Walker, a self-made millionaire, revolutionized the beauty industry, building an empire and empowering countless others. The 20th century roared with the voices of women refusing to be silenced. From Amelia Earhart, soaring across the Atlantic, defying gravity and societal expectations, to Katherine Johnson, whose calculations propelled astronauts into space, their contributions were astronomical. Women shattered glass ceilings in every field, from medicine and law to arts and sciences. In the business world, women have always been innovators. Estée Lauder, with her simple creams and unwavering vision, built a cosmetics empire that defined an era. Mary Kay Ash, with her "golden rule" philosophy, created a direct sales giant, empowering women to achieve financial independence. And today, women like Sara Blakely, with her revolutionary Spanx, demonstrate that entrepreneurial spirit knows no gender. Their words echo with timeless wisdom:"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any." - Alice Walker"You must do the things you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt"The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand“Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.” - Sara Blakely "If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on." - Sheryl SandbergTo the girls of today, the future architects of our nation, take these words to heart. Embrace your curiosity, cultivate your resilience, and never underestimate your potential. Dare to dream big, to challenge the status quo, and to forge your own path. Find mentors who inspire you, build a network of support, and never stop learning. Your voice matters, your ideas are valuable, and your contributions are essential.This Women's History Month, let us celebrate the legacy of those who came before us, and let us empower the women of today to create a future where every girl has the opportunity to shine. The symphony of strength continues, and its most beautiful melodies are yet to be written. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

John Adams' Letter to Abigail Adams 1776 Summary of each Paragraph: Cut 17-18: Paragraph 1: If we had declared independence 7 months ago, we could have taken Canada, but the fractious nature of the Convention and the Tories ultimately stymied our best shot of winning Quebec. This loss of opportunity provides Britain with a foothold on our northern border, disadvantages us. Cut 19 Paragraph 2: None of that truly matters, however, because of the terrible epidemic of Smallpox that broke out amongst our troops. God is aware of this, and we should be looking to Him to see why these events have turned out the way they have. Cut 20 Paragraph 3: The bright side of the delay is this: The idea of Reconciliation between Britain and America is dead. Everyone knows what must be done now. We all understand what is ahead and have a sober mind to that end. The Union is formed and strong in a manner not possible 6 months ago. Cut 21 Paragraph 4: July 2nd , 1776 will always live in memory as a beautiful day for liberty and of God's Providence. Cut 22 Paragraph 5: You may think me silly with joy, but I understand how dark the coming days and years will be.

Daily QuoteLearning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence. (Abigail Adams)Poem of the DayTo Aphroditeby SapphoBeauty of Words简单（节选）三毛
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 2, 2025 is: transpire • tran-SPYRE • verb Transpire is a formal verb that means “to happen,” or in other words “to take place or occur.” It can also mean “to come to light” or “to become known,” as in “It transpired that they had met previously.” In botany, to transpire is to give off or exude watery vapor especially from the surfaces of leaves. // The monument will ensure that posterity will not soon forget the historic events that transpired on that day. See the entry > Examples: “Since that first super-eruption, there have been two more of comparable size, roughly 1.3 million years ago and 630,000 years ago. If this trend continues, with mega-eruptions taking place every 600,000 to 700,000 years, then Yellowstone is due for another major event. But whether it happens tomorrow, in 50,000 years, or never transpires, no one can say.” — Randall K. Wilson, A Place Called Yellowstone: The Epic History of the World's First National Park, 2024 Did you know? If you're someone who gets in a sweat over the now-common use of transpire meaning “to occur,” we hope this explainer helps you cool down and breathe easier—it just so happens that the word's expansion from its technical origins transpired in a logical, or at least understandable, progression over the centuries. Transpire comes from the Latin verb spirare (“to breathe”), which also breathed life into perspire, aspire, and inspire, among other words. Wafting up into English in the late 16th century, transpire was originally used (as it still is) for the action of vapor passing out of the pores of a living membrane such as the skin. From this use followed the related senses of “to become known” and “to be revealed; to come to light” (think of information “leaking” or “slipping out”). Although some usage commentators maintain that these are the only proper figurative uses of transpire, none other than Abigail Adams used it to mean “to happen” in a 1775 letter to her husband (“there is nothing new transpired since I wrote you last”) and Noah Webster recognized the new sense in his dictionary of 1828. Today it is firmly established as standard, occurring widely in published prose.

Join Host Lyle Perez for a chilling finale to the Haunted America series as he explores the haunted history of Washington, D.C., on Halloween night. As the center of political power, the nation's capital holds layers of dark secrets, historic tragedies, and spectral presences. From the halls of the White House to the eerie streets of Lafayette Square, D.C. is alive with ghostly tales that reveal a side of history rarely discussed. Grab a warm drink, dim the lights, and get ready for a journey into the capital's haunted sites. Featured Locations: The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, D.C. 20500 Home to more than just presidents, the White House hosts famous spirits like Abraham Lincoln, who's been seen by countless staff and guests. Queen Wilhelmina even fainted upon seeing his apparition. Dolley Madison is rumored to protect the Rose Garden, while Abigail Adams' ghost has been seen in the East Room. Public tours offer a glimpse into the residence, though ghostly encounters are never guaranteed. The Octagon House 1799 New York Ave NW, Washington, D.C. 20006 This unique mansion, built in 1801, is haunted by the spirits of two Tayloe daughters who fell to their deaths in the staircase. Visitors report hearing footsteps, doors slamming, and feeling watched, especially in the ballroom. The house is open as a museum, inviting visitors to learn about its tragic history. The Capitol Building First St SE, Washington, D.C. 20004 The U.S. Capitol is haunted by the mysterious “Demon Cat,” a ghostly omen of disaster, and by John Quincy Adams, who collapsed and died in the building. Cold spots, whispers, and eerie figures are common, particularly in the rotunda. Guided tours provide access to this historical—and haunted—monument. Lafayette Square Across from the White House, Lafayette Square's dark past is marked by murder and scandal. The ghost of Philip Barton Key II, murdered by Congressman Daniel Sickles, is said to roam here. Shadowy figures and phantom gunshots disturb this otherwise serene park, making it a must-visit for thrill-seekers. The Old Stone House 3051 M St NW, Washington, D.C. 20007 Dating back to 1765, the Old Stone House is D.C.'s oldest unchanged structure. It's haunted by “George,” a spectral carpenter, and a child who tugs at visitors' clothing. Guests report feeling cold hands and hearing whispers, adding to its allure as a museum with deep-rooted mysteries. The National Theatre 1321 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, D.C. 20004 Known as “The Theatre of Presidents,” the National Theatre is haunted by the “Lady in White,” seen backstage and in the audience. Disembodied laughter and footsteps heighten its ghostly charm. Patrons attending performances may find themselves in the presence of D.C.'s most dedicated spectral audience. The Exorcist Steps, Georgetown 36th St NW & Prospect St NW, Washington, D.C. 20007 Made famous by The Exorcist, these narrow steps hold an ominous presence. Many report feeling watched or hearing footsteps echoing behind them, especially at night. It's a notorious location for those seeking real-life frights in the heart of Georgetown. The Hay-Adams Hotel 800 16th St NW, Washington, D.C. 20006 Overlooking Lafayette Square, the Hay-Adams Hotel is haunted by the spirit of Clover Adams, whose presence is felt through cold spots, flickering lights, and the scent of lavender. The fourth floor is particularly active, drawing guests who hope for a ghostly encounter during their stay. The Smithsonian Castle 1000 Jefferson Dr SW, Washington, D.C. 20560 James Smithson, the Smithsonian's founder, is said to haunt this Gothic structure. His spirit has been seen in the hallways, with footsteps and ghostly whispers adding to the building's aura. Visitors can explore the castle's history and perhaps feel Smithson's presence watching over his legacy. The Congressional Cemetery 1801 E St SE, Washington, D.C. 20003 This historic cemetery is home to prominent figures, and visitors often report eerie encounters, including the spirit of Clara Barton. Ghost tours reveal the haunted side of this iconic cemetery, with flickering lights and murmurs from beyond.

Meg Wolitzer presents four works drawn from an evening of satirical stories about American political history, hosted by Andy Borowitz.Nothing is sacred. First, Joe Yan imagines Abraham Lincoln, huckster, in “I'm Abraham Lincoln and I Beg Of You, Please Commemorate My Birthday With Mattress Sales,” read by Ikechukwu Ufomadu. In “Running for Governor,” Mark Twain imagines himself in the political horse race. The reader is John Cameron Mitchell. John and Abigail Adams had a famously happy marriage, despite often being apart, and why not imagine them taking advantage of the 18th century version of modern media options? That's the premise of Alexandra Petri's “John and Abigail Adams Try Sexting,” read by Ophira Eisenberg and Ikechukwu Ufomadu. And the show wraps with a piece by Borowitz himself, “A Very Nixon Halloween,” inspired by a photograph of Nixon as an awkward civilian after he left office.The reader is Caroline Aaron.

Today, over 1,160 letters still exist between President John Adams and his wife Abigail Adams. And do you know why there were so many letters between them? Because during their marriage, they were long distance for ELEVEN YEARS!! Before Adams became George Washington's VP and eventually the second president of the United States, he was part of the original congress in Philadelphia and served as a diplomat in Europe. Because of this, he and Abigail sometimes only heard from each other once every few months! It's clear from their letters that John and Abigail loved each other immensely. But Kel still has one question she hasn't been able to solve: if John and Abigail adored each other so much, why didn't they ever write the words ‘I love you'?

Historian Lindsay Chervinsky talks with Clay about the enemies of the second president of the United States, John Adams. Somewhat tongue in cheek, Lindsay believes that Jefferson was one of those enemies because he was a disloyal vice president to Adams. Others included Alexander Hamilton, who considered himself the shadow president. Hamilton also wrote that notorious pamphlet in 1800, asserting that he regarded Adams as unfit for re-election. Lindsay also says Abigail Adams was one of the greatest first ladies in American history and a co-president in limited respects.
Last week I talked about these large Presidential homes and why they were so big. But it also got me thinking about how they were run. Some had staff or slaves to help them, but some like John and Abigail Adams did not. Houses now aren't built or run like they used to be. Think About This Our homes are small businesses. By that I mean we, our homes, contribute to 68% of the economy. We buy food, clothes, and products to run and repair/improve our homes and function of daily life. Why don't we run our homes with strategic focus on our priorities instead of trying to equal out daily tasks that will never be done anyway? AI is coming for the house last. We need to be empowered by objectively looking at our homes as an economic unit; a small business. When we have that perspective, we will make better choices. We are managing our work life and our small business (our homes) and the cognitive load is too great. You need to learn to defer tasks so you are working on the most important task. Think, what needs to get done? By when? In what order? And what things, if they don't get done, are not going to be a big deal? The Household Manager Room I have always said the only reason I would consider building a new house would be to put the master bedroom on the main level and to finally get the household manager office I have dreamed about. We used to have this planning desk, but as I'm sure many of you have also experienced, it's not big enough. I want a whole room. So as I started to explain out loud all my organization and reasoning for where I have different papers for taxes, my project closets, Greg's memorabilia, Warrior MAMA Binders, my Sunday Basket®s, picture frames, and some of Grayson's stuff, it started to sound like a hot mess. I laughed, but in my head and on paper it's very organized. The only way I would improve their locations is to have this one room that the primary focus is to efficiently run my home. We should all be so lucky to have one space dedicated to the running of our homes. You Are the American Economy Our homes are like startups. Very little money in the beginning, but the systems help us to focus and eventually turn a profit. The less goals at one time that we are focused on, the more productive and profitable our economic unit will be. We need to have managerial mindsets. In our homes, we have finances and operations. No matter if it's just you, you are married, with kids, or even a multigenerational home. The focus is no longer divvying up tasks, it's productivity. You take a leadership stance. You can only control and change you and your mindset. Decide what you want to do and lead by example. Oddly enough, others usually follow suit and fill in the gaps. When I decided I was no longer grocery shopping and cooking, Greg stepped in and our “food life” is even better now. And keep in mind as our family's grow, our roles will change too. As your kids grow, instill chores or hire help. Just like in business, people quit and systems change; so will your small business. It's good to do an audit of your home every couple of years. And as a leader with goals in mind, decide how to move forward effectively, productively, and profitably. Going into the next 5 episodes, I want you to think about the systems you have in place and how they can make you productive from a leadership standpoint. And how to run your home through strategic planning instead of a reactive mode of just trying to even out the workload.
