Values
Meet the Founder: Will Smith
Architect of Personal Power | Life Coach | Creator | Mentor
The journey began not on a grand stage, but in the stark silence after a personal storm. Will, adrift in the fog of regret after a drunken night lost to himself, faced a brutal truth reflected in the stern yet respectful words of another. This rock-bottom revelation was just the first tremor. Soon after, the foundations of his personal life cracked with a separation and near divorce, followed by a physical blow: a severe knee injury demanding two years of grueling recovery.
These were the trials that forged him, forcing him to explore countless self-improvement paths and confront the raw, unvarnished truth: he was the only one who could help himself. From this crucible of pain and perseverance, a profound core belief emerged: everyone holds the power to change, to live the life they desire, but it demands unwavering integrity, relentless hard work, and the sacrifice of comfort.
Emerging from this two-year crucible, not just healed but transformed, Will felt an undeniable pull to share the disciplined structure that had rebuilt his life. This was the birth of Lifestyle Coaching Academy (LCA), built on the bedrock of his "New Me Initiative" and its non-negotiable daily tasks. He was ready to show up as the direct, no-nonsense guide, yet also the encouraging mentor, inspiring others to "Do the Work, Be the Change."
When someone discovers Lifestyle Coaching Academy, they don't find a distant guru. They find Will: a real person who has walked through fire, who understands the loneliness of self-improvement, and who offers a clear path forward. Will’s approach is a blend of unflinching honesty and genuine encouragement, a beacon for those tired of the "I'll start tomorrow" cycle. His signature phrases, "It's all about what you want more: The new you or comfort," cuts through the noise of inner conflict and self-sabotage, challenging but never condemning.
In this space, our foundational daily rituals become the shared heartbeat of the LCA community. For those ready to level up their life, LCA isn't just a program; it's a sanctuary for accountability, a community of action-takers, and a powerful catalyst for becoming the confident, in-control, and genuinely happy person they always knew they could be. Our members to feel seen, understood, and, most importantly, empowered to finally build the life they've always envisioned.
