From working with the world’s best athletes to building one of the most influential performance companies, Will reveals what truly separates the best from the rest. How can someone like LeBron James handle back-to-back max strain days and still wake up fully recovered? Will also breaks down what that tells us about sleep, consistency, and the foundations of sustainable greatness. He opens up about the unseen challenges of entrepreneurship, trusting your intuition, facing hundreds of investor rejections, and holding conviction when doubt and data collide. Will challenges the traditional approach to health, explaining why annual check-ups are broken, why preventative care should feel aspirational, and how continuous feedback can improve performance without obsession.  This episode is all about recovery, resilience, and building systems, in business and life, that allow you to perform at your best, day after day.
