Episode Description
Ever feel like your goals are as challenging as climbing Mount Everest? In this episode, Scott explores what it means to move forward no matter what, and when you might need to reassess.

Featured Story
Scott shares a robust conversation with a client who compared their goal to climbing Mount Everest without oxygen. This metaphor opens up a crucial question we all need to ask: Is what you’re pursuing truly worthy of the risks you’re taking? When you find something worthy, you’ll do anything to make it happen—even if success isn’t guaranteed. That’s the essence of moving forward, no matter what.
Key Takeaways
Moving forward requires faith, like walking a path at night where each step illuminates just the next 50 feet ahead of you.
What seems like an insurmountable obstacle (clouds ahead) is often just a matter of perspective that clears as you keep moving.
Every goal worth pursuing deserves the crucial question: “Is this worth the risk I’m taking to achieve it?”
Memorable Quotes
“When you love what you do, you step in the studio, do a podcast, it doesn’t really matter – it’s just game on.”
“Moving forward, no matter what, sometimes is a leap of faith. It really truly is.”
“When it is worthy, you will do anything to make it happen. There’s nothing that will stop you.”
Scott’s Three-Step Approach
Recognize that your battle plan won’t survive first contact – be prepared to adapt as you move forward.
Take that first step even when you can’t see the whole path – each step will illuminate the next part of your journey.
Evaluate whether your goal is truly worthy of the risk – when it is, nothing will stop you from pursuing it.
