Emotional Intelligence Explained

Scott hosts this podcast with the tone of someone talking to a friend over coffee rather than lecturing from a stage. Each episode tackles a specific emotional situation that most people recognize but rarely talk about openly: the moment you realize you responded on autopilot instead of actually listening, the tension that builds when stress shapes your tone more than your words do, or the quiet frustration of knowing you could have handled a conversation better. The show strips away clinical language and academic framing in favor of relatable stories and simple shifts that make a noticeable difference. One of the recurring themes is the idea of doing a quick internal check-in before you speak, a two-second pause to notice where your stress level actually sits before you let it determine what comes out of your mouth. Scott shares his own experiences openly, including the realization that he was physically present in conversations but not emotionally engaged, and how basic awareness changed the quality of his relationships. Episodes cover triggers, conflict resolution, communication patterns, confidence, and those reactions you replay in your head wishing you had handled differently. The conversational style makes it approachable for people who have never explored emotional intelligence formally. No jargon, no prerequisites, just practical observations about how emotions drive behavior and what you can do about it. New episodes arrive regularly and run at a comfortable length for casual listening.
