Daily Boost Podcast Everything Is Possible September 10, 2026 | Episode 5539 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever had one of those days where you're trying everything and nothing moves? You push, you plan, you show up, and the door still won't open. I've had plenty of them. Today I'm sharing a story about a man I met near the end of his life, a small pin he put on my shirt, and six words he said that I've carried for over 20 years. Those six words changed what I believed was possible. They built everything I have now, one day at a time. Listen. You might need them today. Featured Story The cameras were set. The crew was ready. Grandmaster Lee was late. He'd had a rough night; the cancer was winning, and he'd spent part of it in the hospital. Then the door opened, and he strode in as if nothing had happened and Sat down. Ready. He talked for two hours, and when he was done, he was done. Then something crossed his face. He got up, climbed over cables and light stands to a desk in the back, dug through a drawer, and came back with a little American flag pin that said Instructor. He pinned it to my shirt. I told him I wasn't an instructor. He smiled. Important Points * You're not behind because you're incapable of it; you're behind because you simply haven't started the thing yet. * Every library, business, or body of work you admire got built the same slow, boring way, one single day at a time. * Impossible today and impossible forever are two very different things, and only one of them is ever actually true. Memorable Quotes * Today, not possible. Tomorrow possible. I'll let you add a little Korean accent if you want to hear it. * When I began, only in my heart, like yours, you're just doing it. I'm counting on you to help people your own way. * My entire life, my entire legacy, everything would boil down to 5,500 podcasts, and I ain't anywhere near done yet. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the one thing you keep saying you'll start someday, and admit that today's version of it feels impossible. * Do the smallest piece of it today anyway, one call, one page, one recording, and then stop and walk away for now. * Come back and do the same small thing tomorrow, because tomorrow is where impossible quietly turns into possible.
