How To Avoid Being A Dumbass
There are plenty of smart people with degrees, knowledge of history, and the ability to explain politics or global economics, yet most of them struggle. Why? Because they have the wrong definition of intelligence. Society typically equates intelligence with high IQ and EQ, but while these attributes are important, they’re incomplete. They don’t encompass the full spectrum of what it means to be truly intelligent, nor do they translate into success or fulfillment. In this episode, I discuss the missing ingredient that transforms intelligence into true visionary power.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEmbrace greatness through these empowering offerings:

The Compound Effect
Many of us wake up every day and say, “today’s the day.” We’re going to lose that extra weight, get that promotion, and finally realize our dreams. And then we wake up the next day and say, “Meh, maybe next week.” But the problem isn’t our goals or ourselves, or even our attitude. The problem is our approach. Why do we think we can just wake up and snap our fingers and change everything? Not only is it unlikely to happen, it’s also potentially dangerous. The Compound Effect offers another path. In this episode, I share my thoughts and insights on ideas and concepts from The Compound Effect by New York Times bestselling author Darren Hardy.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEmbrace greatness through these empowering offerings:

How I Got The Healthiest I've Ever Been At 33 Years Old
From my early misconceptions about health, influenced by watching my grandfather eat anything without gaining weight, to the wake-up call of his quadruple bypass surgery, my perspective on health has evolved dramatically. As I approached 30, society's limiting beliefs began to surface. But instead of accepting these so-called facts, I chose a different path. Last year, becoming a dad only intensified my commitment to defy the norms and set a new standard for health and fitness. In this episode, I discuss my health journey and how I got the healthiest I've ever been at 33 years old.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEpisode Resources
