Listen Later

Scott Smith tackles the crucial topic of clear communication in today's noisy world. Drawing from his experience in radio and Donald Miller's teachings, Scott reveals why making your message easy to understand is essential for success. Through personal stories and practical insights, he shares how reducing "mental calories" in communication leads to better connections and results.


Featured Story:

Scott shares a humorous yet insightful story about his five-year-old son attempting to tell him about a movie "at a theater near you," highlighting how context and clarity are essential for effective communication.


Key Takeaways:

  • If people burn too many calories understanding you, they'll seek easier options
  • Clear messaging is crucial for personal and professional success
  • Know exactly what you want to communicate before sharing
  • Avoid creating questions that lead to objections
  • Use language that matches your audience

  • Memorable Quotes:

    "If you make somebody burn too many calories to understand you, they will never understand you."


    "Know what you're communicating - if you don't understand it, nobody else will."


    "When you create a question in their mind, you create an objection."


    Scott's Three-Step Approach:

    1. Get crystal clear on your message before communicating

    2. Eliminate elements that create additional questions

    3. Use your audience's language, not your own
