I am the same way! I make a daily to-do list on a legal pad, and I have a set way I start the day, but if that gets interrupted or something, it throws my whole day off. I will try to remember this motto going forward.
I am not typically a podcast person; I'm more of an audiobook person, but I will say; I listened to yours, and it was quite good. Very moving. It fits a lot with things I've been thinking about and going through as well, so I appreciate it very much. I'll make sure to listen to the next episode as well!
Forward progress of any kind is still progress! I am really happy you enjoyed this and I hope to have a lot more to come. Just simple and conversational wisdom is the goal! Thanks for listening!
I’m going to say something that might sound odd in our culture today, but something I think men should tell each other more often: Scoot, I’m proud of you man.
It takes a lot to admit that you’re going through challenging times but you are also pushing through them and encouraging others along the way.
And I want to commend your sense of agency. To own your life and your decisions no matter the outcome is admirable. Possessing agency is not something talked about or promoted amongst young men these days but it should be. Your courage to own your decisions both good and bad and effort to encourage others to do the same it necessary and appreciated.
You have no idea how much the whole concept of “agency” has been given new meaning in my life. Thank you, Derek--this comment has been wholly unexpected yet entirely appreciated. I am glad you enjoyed this--got more in the pipeline for sure! Im excited to do more of these!
Great podcast episode! Reminds me of the physics principle... easier to redirect a moving object than to get a motionless object to start moving. Looking forward to hearing more episodes.
This was a great episode! So glad I listened. I needed this today. I’ve been a little disappointed in myself and disappointed with a few things lately. The message of “keep going” and also being the one who is responsible for making decisions and making them and owning them was what I needed to hear!
Glad to hear it! I think a lot of decision paralysis comes from worrying about making the right decision, when any decision will at least help us move forward! Right decisions come later, and we learn them from the experience of not making them 😂
Lol Scoot I'm like 30 seconds in and I'm just picturing you sitting on a lil stool, plucking a guitar, talking to yourself. I know the music is a post-production add-in, but I'm digging the vibe.
I think this is a saint quote, and I can't remember which saint who said it, or exactly how they said it, or the context... but this is the gist of it--tomorrow, it will be over, regardless of how I handle it in the meantime.

Good analogy! I like that a lot--objects in motion will stay in motion, so just KEEP GOING!

That’s exactly the vibe im going for! Minus playing soulful guitar riffs, that was not intentional but i will allow it!

I love that!! Thank you Sara!
