521. Find Your True North with Will Polston

Get Yourself Optimized

What if your biggest breakthrough came from your lowest moment?

I just had an incredible conversation with Will Polston, a bestselling author and performance coach who transformed his near-suicide attempt into a mission that has helped thousands unlock their potential.

Will's journey from financial obsession to nearly ending it all at a river, and then discovering his true North Star, is both heartbreaking and inspiring. His "feather, brick, and bus" philosophy explains why we keep getting the same lessons until we learn them.

Key insights from our conversation:

✅ How childhood money trauma shaped his entire worldview

✅ The Japanese ikigai framework for finding your life mission

✅ Why replacing bad habits works better than just stopping them

✅ How AI can accelerate your growth without replacing your purpose

If you're feeling stuck in repeating the same patterns, this episode will provide you with the tools to break free and align with your true calling.
