What if it didn’t take a life-altering tragedy to change your life for the better?

In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Scott White, also known as the “Life is Too Short Guy,” who’s on a mission to make the world a happier place—one smile at a time.

Scott breaks down the ten simple but powerful principles from his Amazon #1 bestselling book. These aren't vague motivational quotes—they're real, actionable tools you can use right now to shift your mindset and improve your life.

From “Attitude is Everything” to “Live Today, Don’t Wait for Tomorrow,” Scott’s message is rooted in science and real stories—people who found light after illness, grief, or even suicide attempts.

But his goal? To help you have that “aha” moment without needing to hit rock bottom first.

We talk about:

• Why positivity can literally extend your life (yes, there’s data!)
• How a simple smile can change your brain chemistry
• What it means to live with urgency—but not fear
• The underrated power of random acts of kindness

This episode is packed with heart, science, and straightforward takeaways you can start practicing today.
