Featured Story

Scott shares a touching moment when a long-time listener mentions they “had kids together”—meaning the listener didn’t have children when they started tuning in, but now those kids are heading to college! It was a powerful reminder of how many lives Scott has impacted over the years. As he jokingly told his wife, “I’ve got several hundred thousand kids,” having been there through listeners’ relationship journeys for nearly two decades.

Key Takeaways

If a relationship is going well, keep nurturing it daily rather than rushing toward some imagined finish line.

The quality of your life directly depends on your relationships – we’re tribal creatures who crave genuine human connection.

Even in our increasingly digital world, people crave in-person connection more than ever – it’s why we’ll pay hundreds for concert tickets just to be together.

Memorable Quotes

“If it’s going well, keep going. Do your best to keep it going, make it exciting, whatever it happens to be.” ‘

“The quality of your life depends on the quality of your relationships.” 

“The number one rule in relationship building is curiosity.”

Scott’s Three-Step Approach

Be genuinely curious about others rather than trying to rush relationships–curiosity is always the essential first stage.

Become enlightened by allowing interest to grow naturally, deepening your connection.

Recognize when you’re reaching the commitment stage and be ready to take decisive action when the time is right.
