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.”
