Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

In this energetic episode, Scott Smith tackles a common challenge that holds people back from living their best lives – toxic relationships. With his signature no-nonsense approach, Scott explains why surrounding yourself with people who share your values is crucial for your happiness and success.

Fresh from Daytona Bike Week with his new 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, Scott delivers this powerful message with a raspy voice and unwavering conviction. He reminds listeners that while it might feel impossible to eliminate negative influences, sometimes the most life-changing decision is simply moving on from people who don't align with your values.

Whether it's colleagues, clients, or even friends who drain your energy, this episode provides the motivation you need to make those difficult but necessary changes in your relationships.

Featured Story

After postponing a necessary conversation for months, Scott's client finally confronted a toxic business relationship that was causing significant stress. Scott shares how this common scenario plays out - everyone else can see the problem except the person being mistreated. The lesson? Sometimes, the most liberating decision is recognizing when a relationship isn't sustainable and having the courage to reset expectations or move on.
