From Chaos to Clarity: How Coach Will Smith Found His Purpose
Manage episode 519808737 series 3688877
In this raw and powerful episode of The Greater Journey, host Gregory Rutledge sits down with Coach Will Smith, founder of Lifestyle Coaching Academy and creator of the New Me Initiative — a 90-day, no-excuses, results-driven transformation program.
Will’s story takes us from foster care, addiction, and self-destruction to fatherhood, redemption, and purpose. He reveals how a single wake-up call changed everything and why he believes in accountability over excuses.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
- The truth about “overnight success” (it’s a 10–20-year night)
- How to stop blaming and start becoming
- The mindset shift from victim to victor
- Why peace beats “crazy busy” every time
- How resilience is built through fire, not comfort
- The daily habits that keep him grounded and focused
- Why empowering your network starts with owning your story
“It’s easy to be comfortable. It’s hard to be great. And just two more letters to be GREATER.”
