Will Gordon is a dedicated school teacher in Boston, sobriety coach, and host of The Willpower Podcast, a dynamic YouTube channel and multi-platform show that amplifies raw stories of resilience, recovery, and redemption to empower listeners worldwide. For years, a hidden battle with severe alcohol addiction ravaged his life, culminating in a dire diagnosis: just two weeks to live before an emergency liver transplant on May 2, 2023. The fight was far from over—three weeks later, a catastrophic stomach rupture claimed half his colon and his gallbladder, plunging his survival odds to a mere 4%. Defying the odds through ileostomy surgery, its reversal six months on, and a kidney transplant four months after that, Will emerged as a dual-organ transplant survivor, channeling his unimaginable trials into a fierce, renewed purpose: guiding others from despair to durable strength.
Since launching The Willpower Podcast in 2024, Will has built a thriving community of over 11,000 YouTube subscribers, with episodes reaching hundreds of thousands across All Platforms. He spotlights guests from fellow addicts and athletes to entrepreneurs, who've stared down their demons. At its core, the podcast preaches that willpower isn't flawless heroism; it's the messy courage to show up, one day at a time, and reclaim your story.
As a sober mentor coach, Will delivers tailored, compassionate support drawn from his classroom roots and personal victories, equipping clients with real-talk tools for early recovery and life reconstruction. Prioritizing self-kindness over impossible ideals. A beacon for turning pain into unshakeable power, he reminds us all that redemption is possible for anyone willing to lean in.
