The Goal Everyone Thought Was Crazy
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
In this deeply personal episode, Scott Smith shares the story of the most unconventional yet powerful goal he ever set - making his first wife's passing "the best death ever." With raw emotion and his signature optimism, Scott reveals how this seemingly inappropriate goal transformed an unbearable situation into a meaningful journey filled with laughter, love, and cookies.
Scott explains that while we're all naturally wired as goal-setting machines, sometimes our most impactful goals aren't about achieving conventional success. Instead, they're about how we navigate life's most challenging moments. Through his vulnerable storytelling, Scott demonstrates that even in our darkest times, we have the power to choose how we experience the journey.
This episode is a powerful reminder that goals aren't just about destinations but about transforming the journey itself – even when that journey isn't one we would have chosen.
Featured Story
When Scott's first wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2006, his world crashed around him. After exploring alternative treatments in Costa Rica, they returned home to face reality. Scott proposed an unconventional goal during a bedside family gathering: "Let's make this the best death ever." Though initially shocking, this goal transformed their final 100 days together into a celebration of life filled with wine, music, laughter, and tears.
