The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
You can be grateful for what you have and still strive for more. The duality of gratitude and success is a difficult concept to grasp, but understanding it is invaluable in both your success and well-being.
On the Grateful Podcast, Jack and his guests explain how everyone has opportunities and choices to go after the life they want, and they owe it to themselves to do just that. You must recognize and be grateful for what you have in order to get the best out of yourself moving forward.
There are conversations ranging from business to mental health and everything in between as well.
The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
This 10-Year-Old is ahead of You with William Miller | 117
He’s 10 years old.He’s already speaking on national stages.
And he refuses to dream smaller.
In this episode of The Grateful Podcast, I sit down with William Miller, the youngest guest in the show’s history. William has been speaking publicly since age 8, challenging adults, inspiring kids, and reminding us what bravery actually looks like.
We talk about:
- Why age doesn’t determine value
- Why teachers telling kids to “dream smaller” is dangerous
- How bravery is built, not born
- Why giving matters more than chasing success
- And what happens when a kid never stops believing in himself
This conversation isn’t just inspiring.
It’s a mirror.
