E205 | Master Your Mindset And Live A Life You Love With Will Polston

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with performance coach and author Will Polston to break down why so many high performers still feel stuck — despite achieving success. This conversation goes deeper than goals, habits, or productivity. It's about direction, identity, and building a life that actually means something. Will shares the concept of North Star Thinking — a framework designed to align your actions, decisions, and long-term vision around something bigger than short-term wins. In this episode, Kirk and Will discuss: Why chasing money and surface-level goals often leads to frustration The concept of North Star Thinking and how it changes everything How to identify a mission that drives long-term fulfilment The "glass ceiling" most high performers eventually hit Why success without direction leads to burnout and confusion How to audit your life and realign with what actually matters The role of values in decision-making and emotional consistency Why structure beats time management The importance of environment, mentorship, and community The Bigger Takeaway Most people aren't lacking effort. They're lacking alignment. You can hit goals and still feel lost You can build success and still feel unfulfilled You can work hard and still be heading in the wrong direction The solution isn't doing more. It's getting clear on why you're doing it in the first place.
