Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 3-Step Framework That Forces Instant Focus August 22, 2025 | Episode 5165 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott breaks down why everyone's obsessed with finding their "why" when they should be focused on getting crystal clear about their "what" first. He dives into Benjamin Hardy's brilliant scaling framework that forces you to eliminate distractions and zero in on what actually matters. This isn't about setting bigger goals—it's about getting so focused that everything else falls away. Scott shares the three elements that'll get you from confused to laser-focused, plus why most people get stuck trying to hang onto comfortable stuff that's holding them back. Featured Story Scott discovered Benjamin Hardy's book "The Science of Scaling" early and immediately saw how the principles apply to everything—not just business growth. He walks through a client example where a simple question about timeline compression ("Could you do it in one year instead of three?") completely shifted the person's thinking. The real magic happens when you realize that only certain actions will get you to big goals, and you have to be willing to give up the comfortable stuff that's keeping you stuck. Important Points Clarity about your "what" is more powerful than endlessly searching for your "why." The bigger and scarier your goal (while still doable), the more excited and focused you'll become. Raising your floor means eliminating everything below your standards, even things you've done forever. Memorable Quotes "If you can't clearly define what you want, what you want to do, where you want to go, all that stuff, you can't do it." "If you want average mundane, you can do just about anything and get it. But if you want something bigger, you got to get focused." "As soon as you start getting something better, you don't care about the old stuff." Scott's Three-Step Approach Set your frame ridiculously high—pick something that scares you a little but feels doable. Compress your timeline dramatically because urgency creates momentum and forces solutions. Raise your floor by eliminating anything that won't directly get you to your big goal.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I discuss the common pitfalls in restaurant marketing and the importance of having solid systems in place for growth. I emphasize that successful scaling requires a business that can operate independently of the owner and a clear plan for replication. I also share how to test readiness for expansion and highlight the significance of understanding financial metrics before making growth decisions.Takeaways:Most restaurant marketing fails because it's built on guesswork.Growth isn't earned through vision, it's earned through replication.If you can't replicate your profit, you're just cloning chaos.The business must be leader-proof before it can be location-proof.Scaling isn't about momentum. It's about predictability.Walk away from the restaurant for three days and see what breaks.You're building a machine so that you can build your dream.If you don't know your math, then you're scaling fiction.Assign ownership, create documentation, and build your replacement strategy.Tell a friend who's thinking about opening another location.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Marketing Challenges02:44 The Importance of Systems for Growth05:38 Testing Readiness for ExpansionIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

I loved this conversation with Clive Sher, President & Co-founder of Little Bellies.  As a parent myself, I've heard many brands talk about “organic” or “better-for-you” snacks, but I've never heard anyone break it down the way Clive did. From the very start of our chat, I could tell how thoughtful and intentional he and his team are about what goes into their products.   Their mission goes beyond just offering snacks; it's about guiding parents and children through each age and stage of development in a way that feels supportive, safe, and truly considered. What struck me most was how Clive described the philosophy behind Little Bellies' product design, encompassing everything from motor skill development to palate shaping, and avoiding what he calls “health washing.”   It's a level of care that's rare in this space, and it gave me a whole new perspective on how much food choices at an early age matter. Honestly, I was blown away. Here are a few highlights from the episode: * The story of how a family need, his nephew's severe food sensitivities inspired the founding of the company nearly 20 years ago.   * Why organic is only the starting point, and how Little Bellies avoids “pseudo-confectionery” by creating truly age-appropriate foods.   * The challenges of launching in North America in 2020, right as the pandemic hit, and how agility helped them adapt.   * A fascinating look at their “age and stage architecture” that supports children from seven months through toddlerhood with carefully designed textures, shapes, and flavors.   * The commitment to brand integrity and why they refuse to compromise, even when retailers request products that don't align with their values.   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode and discover why Little Bellies isn't just another snack brand; it's a partner for parents who want the very best for their children. You'll find this conversation inspiring, thoughtful, and eye-opening.

How do you turn seawater into a cult food brand? Ben Jacobsen did just that – and changed the way America thinks about salt. In this episode, we sit down with Ben, the founder of Jacobsen Salt Co., whose journey began with a single, revelatory bite of tinned fish topped with a few flakes of sea salt. That moment sparked a passion that led him to the windswept Oregon coast, where he began hand-harvesting salt, and ultimately to building one of the most iconic artisanal food brands in the country. Ben shares how he bootstrapped the business from scratch, earned the trust of renowned chefs, and turned Jacobsen Salt into a symbol of quality, craft and flavor. He speaks candidly about the entrepreneurial rollercoaster – the risks, the resilience, the moments of doubt – and the deep creative drive that continues to fuel his work. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ben Jacobsen, Founder, Jacobsen Salt Co. – The conversation begins with Ben's recent culinary experiences in NYC and his growing appreciation for restaurants since starting his company. Ben traces the origins of Jacobsen Salt Co. to his time living in Copenhagen and Oslo and how he was inspired by the profound difference high-quality salt made in simple meals. The conversation delves into the technical and entrepreneurial challenges of creating a salt company from scratch and the humble beginnings of Jacobsen Salt, which involved transporting seawater in wine totes and experimenting in a commercial kitchen. He touches on how Jacobsen Salt gained early traction through word of mouth, support from chefs, and compelling design – all of which contributed to expansion in specialty shops and boutiques across all 50 states. Ben also explains why he sees a long runway for growth, emphasizing the importance of scaling production and increasing accessibility while staying true to the brand's mission.  Brands in this episode: Jacobsen Salt Co.

If you're trying to scale your real estate business and still asking “How do I do this?”, you're already falling behind. In this episode, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, author of 10X Is Easier Than 2X and The Science of Scaling, explains why success in multifamily hinges on shifting from "how" to "who." Michael and Ben dig into why most investors get stuck on the wrong path, and how committing to a bold vision — even without knowing the entire roadmap — is the real starting point. This episode is a must-listen for six-figure earners stuck in the single-family grind, trying to leap into commercial real estate and financial freedom.Key Takeaways1. Why Your 10-Year Plan Is Holding You BackMost investors set conservative goals based on their current capacity.A 10-year retirement plan with single-family homes isn't just slow — it's likely broken.Reframe your goal: what would it take to become financially free in 12 months?When the timeframe compresses, the current strategy breaks — and that's the point.2. The "Who Not How" Principle for Real Estate ScalingMultifamily investing isn't about doing more — it's about doing different.Instead of figuring out every step, ask “Who already knows how to do this?”The right team — mentors, capital partners, deal finders — collapses the learning curve.Syndication is the ultimate “who not how” structure: it's a team sport.3. The Psychology of Commitment and BeliefYou won't pursue what you don't believe is possible.Small “micro-commitments” — like booking a strategy call or analyzing your first deal — build belief.Commit to the outcome (financial freedom), not the tactic (buying rentals).Reverse-engineering from your end goal leads to radically different decisions.4. Letting Go of the Path That Got You HereYour current strategy won't get you to your next level.If you're clinging to rentals, flips, or even a high-paying job — you're on the wrong path.Letting go feels like quitting — but it's often the gateway to real progress.Ask: “What's the opportunity cost of staying stuck?”5. Dr. Hardy's Framework from The Science of ScalingIdentify your "floor" — the level where you're currently stuck — and why it's limiting.The most successful entrepreneurs redesign their systems, teams, and mindsets to scale.Scaling isn't just a process — it's a mindset of focusing on fewer things, done better.6. Multifamily as the Ideal Vehicle for ScalingSingle-family strategies are too slow, too small, and too dependent on your time.Multifamily offers higher leverage, scalable income, and team-based execution.The joint venture nature of syndication makes scaling practical, even if you're starting out.The ability to raise money or partner with operators creates fast pathways to GP status.Connect with Dr. Benjamin HardyGet your free copy of the Science of Scaling audiobook https://scaling.com/ Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTube

Carly PepinHuman Behavior SpecialistCEOs and business owners come to me when they're ready to scale their companies, overcome burnout, and reconnect with the vision that originally inspired them.For 15yrs I've been helping leaders break through growth barriers, align their teams, and increase their company's valuation—while ensuring they don't lose themselves in the process. By combining proven business frameworks with deep human behavior insights, I guide individuals to unlock the clarity and momentum needed to lead their organizations with confidence and purpose.I show leaders why they've encountered specific challenges in their business—whether it's plateaued growth, team misalignment, or decision fatigue—and how to transform these obstacles into leverage points for success. Scaling a company isn't just about structure and execution; it's about mental resilience, strategic clarity, and ensuring your business fuels your life, rather than drains it.When leaders ask the right questions, they don't just get unstuck—they tap into a state of inspiration where decisions become clear, actions become natural, and their business begins to work for them instead of the other way around.I'm here to help leaders scale smarter, lead more effectively, and create a business that aligns with your long-term vision—one that's not just profitable, but deeply fulfilling.When I'm not working with leaders, you'll find me exploring new business strategies, studying human behavior, practicing yoga, traveling, and enjoying time with my family.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Meredith Mills-Merritt, Founder of The Original Southside, and this was such a fun and refreshing conversation, literally.  From the very first sip of her canned cocktail, I was blown away by how crisp, light, and perfectly balanced it tasted. What really struck me, though, was how much heart and thoughtfulness went into every detail of this brand, from the family recipe it was inspired by to the intentional choice of organic, clean ingredients. Meredith's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and considerable grit. Coming from a background in the beauty industry, she made the leap into the ultra-competitive world of ready-to-drink cocktails, despite having no prior experience in the beverage industry.   What she did bring was a deep love of ingredients, a family gin recipe, and the determination to create something better than what was on the shelf. In our conversation, she shares the highs, the hurdles, and the very personal wins that keep her pushing forward. Here are a few highlights from the episode: * How a friend choosing Southside as her wedding drink became a powerful reminder of why Meredith started the brand   * The family recipe origins behind The Original Southside and how Meredith perfected it for the can   * Why being Whole Foods–compliant was a non-negotiable from day one   * The unique challenges of breaking into the alcohol industry's three-tier distribution system   * Meredith's go-to strategies for building awareness, from real-life tastings to word-of-mouth advocacy   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and get inspired by Meredith's journey of turning a family recipe into a modern, better-for-you cocktail brand.

The Bustamantes not only expose sobering truths about personal privacy, data, and AI, but also provide an insider look at how CIA tradecraft and manipulation work at both the institutional and personal level. This half opens with practical spy tactics for processing information and protecting yourself in an age where digital privacy is vanishing. The conversation then pivots, as Jihi joins, to reveal how real-world targeting and psychological profiling unfolds inside the Agency.

In “Virginia Public Schools Serve Indigenous Cuisine,” Gravy producer Anya Groner takes listeners to the second annual Indigenous Peoples Feast at the College of William & Mary. The evening's menu showcases indigenous food–foraged wild rice, duck confit, acorn grits, and a four-corn stew. But these dishes aren't just for enjoying tonight. With the help of a USDA grant, they'll eventually be served at public school cafeterias in Virginia's coastal Tidewater Region. Coming up with the menu wasn't easy. Centuries of forced assimilation, land grabs, and genocide prevented cultural knowledge from being passed down through generations. Designed by Chef Diosa Hall from the Mohawk Nation and Chef Joe Rocchi from the Pamunkey Tribe, the meal combined native plants and fowl from the Eastern Seaboard with contemporary culinary trends, emphasizing the entire production process, from tiny seed to plated meal. Volunteers foraged herbs like plantain and bergamot. Hunters donated ducks. Growers harvested sustainably farmed vegetables. Scaling up the supply chain to make these ingredients available to hundreds of schools could take two or three decades. Dr. Troy Wiipongwii is the Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Conservation at the College of William and Mary and a founding member of the Traditional Eastern Woodlands Foodways Alliance, the intertribal group leading this program. He says sustainable foods cost almost double to produce, but they're worth it. Agricultural systems like food forests not only rebuild ecosystems, but they also produce nutrient-dense food that's healthier to eat. Wiipongwii put together a K-12 curriculum integrating indigenous foodways into science, math, health, and humanities to change attitudes around food production. Chef Hall believes making native foods available in public schools will give indigenous students a sense of belonging. That's especially important because schools haven't always been welcoming places for Native children. For centuries, residential schools took children from Native families and forced them to learn European culture and adopt Christianity. Hall hopes the new menu she helped put together will reclaim some of the cultural practices targeted by the residential schools. Listen to find out what it will take to keep indigenous food traditions visible in the nation's cultural landscape—and how kids rate acorn grits and butternut squash against the typical school lunch.

In this final coaching session with Jackie, we dive into what the actual point is of anything we're doing... whether that's email strategy, organic social growth, or switching platforms to TikTok. We talk about what it means to truly find your own reason and make that enough instead of performing for your clients or people on the 'gram.  We also dive deep into list fatigue, launch strategy, and how great support should feel. And, of course, we talk about hyper-independence (theme of this season much?) and what it means to revisit old challenges even when you have new results.    In this episode, you'll hear: Why I'm suggesting Jackie not do daily emails, and the reason this matters for better long-term results Specific thoughts on ending a coaching container with intention How to shift your strategy *without* your results having to suffer Why it's so important to control the narrative, and how to do that without feeling performative The sneaky pattern of women who always “figure it out”, and how shifting this can create massive growth What great support actually looks and feels like (and how we often assume the opposite when we're hyper-independent) A final reflection on revisiting old challenges that every high achieving woman needs if she wants more results with less challenge   Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Jackie on Instagram Learn more about Jackie on her website

Tom sits down with two extraordinary guests: Andrew and Jihi Bustamante, elite intelligence professionals and co-authors of "Shadow Cell." Andrew, a former covert CIA officer and founder of Everyday Spy, and Jihi, a master targeter, pull back the curtain on the murky world of espionage, information warfare, and the complex dance between truth and spin in global politics. Andrew delivers a masterclass on how political appointees and intelligence leadership have shifted over the decades, exposing the tension between presidential loyalty and national service. Tom fearlessly challenges both guests to untangle headline-making controversies—from election interference to the notorious Steele Dossier—and explores whether we, as citizens, should blindly trust, fight, or try to decode the signals coming from our own government. This first half sets the stage for an unprecedented look at spin, power, and loyalty in the age of 24-hour news and social media.

Tom Bilyeu takes us on a no-holds-barred deep dive into the economic systems shaping our world—and the brutal realities behind rising inequality and declining prosperity. Why do some countries thrive while others spiral into poverty? Is our current system rigged beyond repair, or do we still have the power to course-correct? Drawing on hard-hitting statistics, historical case studies, and insights from thinkers like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman, Tom unpacks the myths surrounding meritocracy, the dangers of well-intentioned welfare policies, and the crucial roles that culture, education, and family structure play in the fate of nations. He doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths about government policies, societal values, and the perils of forced equality. Most importantly, Tom lays out a clear-eyed, six-part blueprint for rekindling prosperity—from reforming welfare and championing education reform to rebuilding the middle class and dismantling regulatory barriers for entrepreneurs.
