Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes If You Were Born Today, What Would You Do Differently? May 28, 2025 | Episode 5103 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What if you woke up this morning completely brand new? Scott explores the powerful “do-over day” concept and challenges you to think beyond minor tweaks and adjustments. After surveying dozens of people about what they’d do if they were born today with all their current knowledge and skills, the answers might surprise you. This isn’t about reworking what you’re already doing—it’s about discovering what you truly want and why you’re not already doing it. Featured Story Scott shares the results of his informal survey asking people what they would do if they had a complete do-over day. From clients to ChatGPT, he gathered responses that revealed something fascinating: most people want to rework their current situation rather than imagine something entirely new. The top answers included not drinking, exercising more, paying better attention to family, and managing money more effectively—but the real question becomes, if you know what you’d do differently, why aren’t you doing it now? Important Points The biggest obstacles to change aren’t logical limitations, but emotional comfort zones, obligations, and fear-based excuses that keep you from becoming who you could be. Most people, when given the chance for a completely fresh start, still think in terms of tweaking their current life rather than imagining something entirely new and different. True personal growth requires digging beneath surface-level changes to discover the deeper truths about what you really want and why you’re holding yourself back. Memorable Quotes “You want something new and different? Accept it. That’s what you want.” “You have total freedom to do whatever you want to do. You can do it.” “Until you start digging down in the truth underneath it, you’re not going to get the true change you want.” Scott’s Three-Step Approach Ask yourself what you would do if you were born today with all your current knowledge, skills, and resources—then push beyond reworking your current situation to imagine something completely new. Identify the real reasons you’re not already making the changes you know you want, recognizing that comfort zones and fear-based excuses are emotionally valid but logically questionable. Start the self-discovery process by having honest conversations with yourself about who you could become if you were willing to go down that road.
