#101 - Your 3-Year-Old Self Is Running the Show, Overcoming Negative Beliefs With Royal Air Force Vet Will Steel

Will Steel flew fast jets for the Royal Air Force, walked away from a dream British Airways 747 posting, and spent 15 years leading transformational programs to 90,000 people worldwide. Now he's written the book he always believed was impossible to write — Free to Lead. In this episode, Will breaks down why your biggest obstacle isn't your circumstances — it's the decision a 3-year-old version of you made that you've been living out ever since. We talk about the Islamic concept of Fitra (your true natural essence), ontological coaching, why speaking the truth out loud is the fastest path to freedom, and how to lead authentically when you've spent years playing a role. Whether you're a young person figuring out who you are, a leader stuck in overdrive, or someone curious about what's actually underneath the anxiety — this one's for you.
