Ever notice your best ideas don't come when you're forcing yourself to “figure things out”? They show up in the shower, on a walk, or drifting off to sleep. That's because inspiration flows when you quiet your overactive, ego-driven mind and create space for divine guidance. Today, I'm sharing how I learned to replace overthinking with what I call “divine downloads” — ideas that feel like they come straight from God, your highest self, or collective consciousness. I'll walk you through a powerful story from a recent mastermind that reminded me how life-changing it is to act on inspiration the moment it arrives (before doubt talks you out of it). By the end of this episode, you'll know how to create more space for inspiration, capture those ideas before they fade, and turn them into the kind of meaningful action that transforms your life — and the lives of those you care about most.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Best Ideas Come When You Stop Trying So Hard July 31, 2025 | Episode 5149 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott takes you behind the scenes of his Face Your Passion Inner Circle call in this spontaneous, unscripted episode. Fresh off a powerful coaching session, he shares game-changing insights about treating exercise like your job, "pre-selling" your time for what matters, and why brainstorming isn't what you think it is. This isn't your typical structured podcast—it's raw coaching wisdom that'll shift how you think about productivity, focus, and getting what you want in life. Sometimes the best insights come when you least expect them. Featured Story Scott opens up about his "coaching call about nothing"—a weekly session where nobody knows what'll happen, but everyone gets exactly what they need. Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld's approach, this unstructured format creates space for breakthrough moments. The magic happens when you show up without a predetermined agenda and let authentic connection and spontaneous wisdom flow. It's proof that sometimes the most powerful results come from embracing the unexpected rather than forcing a plan. Important Points Exercise becomes non-negotiable when you treat it like your job—if you know you're getting paid, you'll show up and do the work. "Pre-selling your time" means buying back hours for yourself at your hourly rate, making you serious about protecting that space for what matters most. Brainstorming is unfocused time for capturing ideas throughout the day, while organization is focused energy work that requires your full attention and higher energy levels. Memorable Quotes "You don't even know what you're gonna get out of it today, but you know you want to show up because every time you do, you get exactly what you needed that day." "Point yourself in the right direction. Do the things you know you're supposed to be doing and let things happen." "The more you put the time in, the more you realize the stuff was going to happen anyway. Why didn't I do that sooner?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Schedule exercise like a job commitment—treat it as paid time that you must show up for, no matter what. Calculate your hourly rate and "buy back" time for yourself by blocking calendar space, then protect that investment like you would any business expense. Capture brainstorming ideas throughout your day during unfocused activities, then use high-energy focused time to organize and connect those ideas on paper.

Episode 197: It’s easy to complain about what’s wrong with the country. It’s much harder to suggest meaningful solutions — especially when those solutions are bound to be unpopular. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada take a different approach. Instead of lamenting what’s broken, they each offer three ideas they believe would make life in America better. The catch? Most people don’t seem to want them. Among the six proposals discussed are calls for ambitious housing reforms, a nationwide ban on cellphones in K-12 schools and the introduction of religious education into public school curricula. Kyte argues that American students are missing a crucial understanding of how religion shapes history, culture and personal identity — knowledge he says is essential to navigating the modern world. Rada’s own list includes a push for year-round school calendars, a politically fraught but practical shift aimed at minimizing learning loss and offering teachers more balanced breaks throughout the year. He also calls for an end to single-family zoning, which he sees as a key driver of unaffordable housing and urban sprawl. The two also take on one of the third rails of American politics: Social Security. Kyte proposes gradually raising the retirement age and means-testing benefits. The episode closes with a conversation about public service. Rada argues that elected officials and their staff are vastly underpaid, leading to a lack of expertise in government and an overreliance on special interests to shape legislation. “This might be our least popular suggestion,” Rada said. “But it’s hard to get smart policy when the people writing it are stretched thin and planning their exit strategy.”

Jake Rembert, Vice President of Global Solutions at Globalstar joins KMOX's Megan Lynch to talk about why relying on cell towers isn't the best idea during storms and disasters.

Today, we chat with Matt Johnson - Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Haymaker - the independent, Emmy-winning, full-service advertising agency.Matt takes us through Haymaker's origin story: from launching with no clients or office to growing into a respected agency over the past eight years. With a background at industry heavyweights like 180LA and 72andSunny, Matt brings a wealth of experience and insight into what it takes to see ideas through towards proven results. We discuss standout projects like Pluto TV's Proud to be a Potato, 23andMe's Despicable Me crossover: Genetically Me, and the promotion of the digital release for John Wick 2 as one of their first jobs as a new agency. He unpacks how bold ideas, collaboration, and risk-taking played pivotal roles along the way - also sharing the value of failure, stressing the importance of taking a learner's stance rather than an expert's stance.Matt also gives practical examples on how he navigates the rapid pace of agency work, the impact of having supportive partners, and the importance of a collaborative culture that iterates ideas into the best product possible.Trust us, this is one you don't want to miss.Links:Pluto TV | Proud to be a Potato23andMe | Genetically Me - with Illumination EntertainmentJohn Wick 2 | Digital ReleaseSeattle's Best Coffee | Smoother Days with Joel McHaleEpisode Edited by Jake Petschjakepetsch.com | petsch.jake@gmail.comIf you want a shoutout in a future episode please leave us a written review on Apple podcasts.

An interview with Jeff Jeran, Senior Director at Power Wellness. And I think that's, that's what makes a medical fitness center so special. It's just, it's a community very similar to group exercise. The reason why group exercise is so successful is it builds a tribe, and everyone is part of that, and hold each other kind of accountable when they show up. So I think that's, that's kind of the big part of what makes medical fitness successful.Jeff JeranMedical fitness callingMedical fitness reaching the 80%Medical and commercial fitnessMobile app connecting members and physiciansIntegrating into the electronic medical recordExpanding access to medical fitnessFinding a fitness center that meets your needs Building a community in a medical fitness centerhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

It's not Pac-Man or Donkey Kong or even Pong… it's The Oregon Trail. A true pioneer (and we don't just mean the ones in the covered wagons), the Oregon Trail has sold more than 65 million copies (that's more than the Beatles' White Album) and it spawned an “edu-tainment” industry now worth over $6B. But this wholesome game was created by three Minnesota student teachers, without a single thought towards making money… which is exactly why Oregon Trail made so much of it. Find out why this iconic game is a textbook MVP (Minimum Viable Product)… how an acquisition by Shark Tank's “Mr. Wonderful” almost led to a collab with Barbie… and why the Oregon Trail is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.

Today we are joined by the Professor of Finance at the University of Utah, Matt Ringgenberg to discuss everything related to anomaly returns. Matt's research – mainly centred on the actions of short sellers – has been published in all the major journals including the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, and the Review of Financial Studies. We begin with the definition of an asset pricing anomaly before learning about the anomalies that Matt's research is primarily focused on. Then, we unpack anomaly returns and how they relate to anomaly signal information, what causes anomalies, the risk versus mispricing debate, and the barriers to accessing financial data that allow anomalies to persist. We also weigh Matt's research against its anomaly-denying counterparts, assess anomaly behaviour before and after publicly available signal information, explore models that help to predict future anomalies, and learn more about the economic mechanism underlying asset pricing anomalies. To end, we dive into Matt's paper, ‘The Loan Fee Anomaly' and explore the relationship between cross-sectional predictors and market returns, and Matt explains why long-term happiness is the only true marker of success.    Key Points From This Episode:   (0:05:07) Matt Ringgenberg defines an asset pricing anomaly and describes the anomalies his research is focused on.  (0:06:27) When anomaly returns appear relative to the release of anomaly signal information. (0:07:57) How the annual forming of portfolios in June affects anomaly returns.  (0:08:50) The cause of anomalies, and the risk versus mispricing debate on anomaly returns.   (0:10:35) Unpacking the barriers to accessing financial data that allow anomalies to persist.   (0:13:41) How Matt's rebalancing approach could affect anomaly-denying research. (0:14:37) Applying his work to valuation-based anomalies and to investors capturing anomaly returns in live-traded portfolios.   (0:16:04) How anomalies behave before anomaly signal information is publicly available. (0:17:48) Exploring the models that can be used to predict future anomaly signals.  (0:19:05) How anomaly premiums traded on predicted signals compare to trades on actual information release dates.

Entrepreneur David Tran fled Vietnam in the late 70s, smuggling gold bars into the US to start his venture - selling hot sauce out of a van. Little did he know his thick, spicy red jalapeño concoction would make him the world's first hot sauce billionaire… without ever spending a single dollar on advertising (FYI: Kraft dropped $750M on marketing alone in 2023).
