Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Your Average Perfect Day Changes Everything September 10, 2025 | Episode 5178 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott kicks things off with a perfect gym encounter that set the tone for discussing one of his most powerful concepts. After taking a month off, he ran into his buddy Billy and had an amazing conversation that represents what makes a day perfect. This episode dives deep into creating your "Average Perfect Day" - the philosophy that built this entire podcast. Scott shares how his first wife's passing at 46 sparked his decision to live life completely on his terms, and why having pretty good days consistently creates an awesome life. Featured Story Scott opens up about the personal story behind this podcast's creation. Long before the "laptop lifestyle" became trendy, he decided he didn't want to work for anyone else or follow traditional schedules. His wife's death at 46 became the catalyst for his "to hell with that, I'm living my way" mindset. This raw honesty about choosing freedom over security sets the stage for understanding why the Average Perfect Day concept works so powerfully. It's not just theory - it's how Scott has lived for 25 years. Important Points The Average Perfect Day concept works because if you have pretty good days consistently, your life becomes pretty good on average - it's that straightforward. You're programming your subconscious mind by writing down detailed, contextual descriptions of your ideal day from morning to night, focusing on experiences rather than material things. Most people wear "masks" throughout their day (dad mask, work mask, weekend mask) that aren't authentic, which is why they're always searching for something else. Memorable Quotes "I looked at her dying at 46 years old. I said, well, to hell with that. I'm going to live it my way." "The whole goal here is not to be irresponsible. The whole goal here is to be in control and just say, you know what? Hey, I am the boss of me." "In a year or two or three, you're going to look at your life and say, wait a second, this looks a whole lot like what I wrote down three years ago." Scott's Three-Step Approach Sit down in a quiet spot and write a detailed, contextual narrative of your perfect day from morning to night, focusing on experiences and how things feel rather than material possessions. Follow the two essential rules: no limitations (write down anything that pops into your mind) and no consequences (don't worry about what might happen if you actually did these things). After writing your first draft, step away for a couple days, then come back and make adjustments - you won't get it right the first time, and that's perfectly fine.
