Bring Out Your Inner Renegade

Daily Boost Podcast Bring Out Your Inner Renegade July 16, 2026 | Episode 5499 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description People hear me say I'm the nicest renegade you'll ever meet and get freaked out. My wife said she didn't know she married a renegade. She did. Today I explain it — with a little help from Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, a quickly Googled definition, and my motorcycle gang of professional nice guys. Being a renegade isn't about being mean. It's about being nice until it's time not to be nice, defying convention when it counts, and knowing exactly which lines you never cross. Borrow it from me today. It might fit you better than you think. Featured Story My gang and I learned one of our core rules riding the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina. Eleven miles, 318 turns, no guardrails, blind curves leaning the wrong way. It's a wicked road doing its best to kill you. Up there, the speed limit isn't the big deal. Go too fast, and you might get a ticket. We all go a little fast in life. But there's one rule you can never break: you don't cross the double yellow line. Cross it, and you're going to jail. I see life the same way. We never cross the double yellow line — unless not crossing it would kill us. Important Points Being a renegade isn't being mean. You take care of business, defy convention when it counts, and stay nice doing it. Show up as yourself and repeat it until people know exactly who you are. A name you actually live becomes your brand. Know your double yellow lines. Speeding earns a slap on the wrist, but some lines in life cost you everything. Memorable Quotes You be nice until it's time not to be nice. Nobody said be mean — there just comes a time to take care of business. Always be nice and be cool, and expect others to be the same. If you need cool, buy some Ray-Bans. You'll be awesome. We never cross the double yellow line unless not crossing it would kill us. Then you do what you've got to do. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by borrowing the renegade. Wrap it around yourself for one day and decide to be nice, cool, and unmistakably you. Then act on it today. Then set your rules of the road. Decide which lines are speeding tickets and which ones are double yellow lines. Finally, hold the code. Stay nice until it's time not to be nice, and only cross your line when survival demands it.
