  • The Most Overrated Advice You Keep Falling For

    The Most Overrated Advice You Keep Falling For
    Nov 3 2025
    The internet is overflowing with advice. Wake up earlier. Work harder. Cut out negativity. Manifest faster. But if all this advice actually worked, why are we still searching for more of it? In this video, I explore why so much “life-changing” advice doesn’t work, how it quietly keeps us stuck, and what happens when you finally stop listening to everyone else and start thinking for yourself. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.

  • The Productivity Trap Nobody Talks About

    The Productivity Trap Nobody Talks About
    Oct 27 2025
    I used to think productivity was the key to freedom. So I optimized everything, my routines, my habits, my workflows. But somewhere between the ice baths, color-coded calendars, and three dashboards tracking my “progress,” I started to wonder… who was I actually doing all this for? In this video, I explore how the pursuit of productivity can quietly become the biggest distraction of all, and what happens when you finally slow down long enough to ask why you’re doing it in the first place.

  • Why We Suck At Listening

    Why We Suck At Listening
    Oct 20 2025
    We all think we’re good listeners. We nod, we smile, we say “yeah, totally.” But most of the time, we’re not actually listening; we’re just waiting for our turn to talk. In this video, I explore why most of us are worse at listening than we realize, how modern life trains us to tune out, and what it actually takes to hear someone. New here?

    Why Quitting Can Be The Smartest Thing You Do
    Oct 13 2025
    For years, I thought success was about working longer, faster, harder. But what if endurance only matters if you’re running in the right direction? In this video, I share why quitting might actually be the key to progress, and why, at first, it feels less like freedom and more like free fall. New here?

    The Only Way To Actually Start
    Oct 2 2025
    Starting something new sounds simple… until you realize you’ve spent three weeks researching which $2,000 camera is absolutely essential before you can upload your first YouTube video. Or whether your side hustle needs a logo that looks like Apple designed it.
