Every individual has gifts and talents that can make a lasting impact.

However, only a minority of people utilise those gifts and talents to live up to their full potential. Tying your gifts and talents with your personal purpose not only leads to a more successful career, but a significant one.

Neil "Yoda" Hill is a bodybuilding legend in the United Kingdom and the founder of Y3T, his signature training method, as well as a coach to some of the world's most elite and successful athletes.

He has spent 33 years in the bodybuilding and fitness industry, and has more than 30 years of experience coaching athletes and clients from around the world.

Neil was born and raised in Tenby, Pembrokeshire in the UK. Having grown up in Wales and coming from a low-income household, he saw his opportunities as limited.

When he was younger, he struggled with dyslexia, which caused him a great deal of frustration and insecurity. He had the impression that he was different.

As much as he liked certain elements of school, he couldn't stand the fact that he couldn't progress due to his disability. So he threw himself into the things that he couldn't accomplish academically. For him, he has to be good at something to feel better.

He began working as a paper round at the age of nine and spent 16 years as a technician in the motor industry before settling into kitchen and bathroom design, which he fell in love with because it allowed him to be more creative. This made him feel wonderful and fulfilled his life's purpose. That kept him motivated while he was succeeding in sports, as a professional bodybuilder, and other things he excelled at.

Neil is now based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has achieved international renown as an instructor. He was also a very successful and competitive IFBB amateur and Pro Bodybuilder.

He began to apply his knowledge and experience as a full time professional coach to help other aspiring athletes and fitness enthusiasts. With hard work, passion, time and a solid track record, Neil quickly amassed a reputation for getting results. This blend of experience, knowledge, and an innate ability to motivate people has made Neil a much sought-after coach.

Over the years, Neil has climbed the ranks of the coaching world to become one of the world's most recognised names, and as a result, has won multiple personal global awards and athlete tiles.

Listen to this episode's interview with Neil Hill as he shares his journey of discovering his life's purpose and passion, which led to his international success!
