THE WILLPOWER PODCAST: Real Recovery, Real Stories, Real Hope.
Hey, I’m Will Gordon. A school teacher who hit rock bottom at 35 hiding a brutal alcohol addiction. It wrecked my body so bad I needed an emergency liver and kidney transplant, with doctors giving me just 2 weeks to live. But here I am, sober and alive, sharing what I’ve learned about clawing back from the edge. It’s not always pretty, but it’s honest, and it’s proof that redemption is possible. With over 10K YouTube friends joining the ride and stories that’ve touched hundreds of thousands through guest spots, this pod’s about walking the path together. With kindness, wisdom, and no judgment.
MY STORY:
From secret binges that nearly killed me, to post-transplant life where I found purpose in sobriety, mental health, and helping others. Recovery taught me compassion for the struggle, and I want to pass that on to you.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND:
Raw, heartfelt stories from guests who’ve been through the fire and come out stronger.
Practical tips for sobriety, handling cravings, and building mental resilience that actually work in real life.
Honest chats about the ups, downs, and everything in between—no sugarcoating, just empathy and hope.
Insights on turning pain into purpose, one day at a time.
NEW EPISODES:
Every Friday: Fresh interviews, reflections, and motivation to keep you going. Straight talk with a side of inspiration.
