Despite the Limits
My name is Scot Storey, and I created this podcast, “Despite the Limits” to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. As a lifelong student of human connection, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about shaping the growth and capabilities of leaders. My personal journey in leadership development has been shaped by a career of service in the US Army’s Special Operations Forces leading numerous teams from just a few operators to organizations several thousand people strong, with the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs units in some the world’s most remote and arduous conditions. I believe in the power of a good story to shape personal connections and help people reach their full potential. That is what this podcast is all about.
Let’s have a conversation!

Despite the Limits
Setting Goals
Episode 18 of Despite the Limits is the third in a series of podcasts exploring practical steps you can take when you feel stuck or simply cannot seem to get started moving toward your dream.
In this episode I talk with more detail about step two – “Setting Goals”. Goal setting can keep us from moving forward in our efforts to succeed for a couple of reasons. One reason is because we simply just don’t make them. The other reason, and the focus of this episode is our goals are not expressed in a way we can actually take action on them. That is where SMART goals come in to play. SMART is an acronym that stands for – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
Here is a link to Episode 16 – “What to do when you’re stuck” if you want to listen to the overview of the six steps again or if you have not heard it yet here is a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2303705/15478024
For review, the six steps are:
1.Overcome Limiting Beliefs
2.Set goals
3.Develop a plan
4.Build a coalition for support
5.Learn from failure
6.Celebrate the small wins
I also reference Episode 9 – “Drivers Drive” which is all about multitasking. Here is the link to that one of if you want to listen to it too: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2303705/episodes/15037490
