Episode Description
Feeling stuck with incremental improvements in your life? In today’s episode, Scott challenges the entire concept of personal improvement.

Featured Story
Scott takes you inside the coaching world to reveal a powerful truth: you don’t want “personal improvement” - you want transformation. Using wisdom from Stoic philosophy, he explains how flipping obstacles upside down creates new opportunities. “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in your way becomes the way.” Learn how this mindset shift can change your approach to challenges.
Key Takeaways
Understanding what makes you tick is the first step before pursuing any goal or dream.
The desire for “improvement” often masks what you want - something new and transformational.
Like Stoic philosophers teach, every obstacle can become a new source of good when viewed differently.
Memorable Quotes
“If you don’t know what makes you tick, you won’t get there.”
“You don’t want to tweak things to make them a little bit better - you want something brand new.”
“For a Stoic, every bad thing becomes an additional source of good.”
Scott’s Three-Step Approach
Start with a daily awareness diary to understand your current patterns and desires.
Look at challenges differently - don’t improve them, but consider how to create something new from them.
Flip obstacles upside down to see how what stands in your way can become the way forward.
