Confronting mortality changes everything. Will Craig knows this truth intimately, living with a medical condition that gives him just eight hours if his brain shunt fails. Having already survived six brain surgeries and battling through devastating personal losses, Will has transformed these experiences into a powerful mission focused on mental health advocacy and human connection.

During our raw, profound conversation, Will unpacks his journey from being "a scared kid" who believed his existence was a burden to others, to becoming a bestselling author, speaker, and mental health advocate. His evolution wasn't instant - it took years of healing, self-forgiveness, and purposeful introspection to arrive at his current clarity about what truly matters.

What makes Will's perspective so valuable is the practicality behind his philosophy. He shares specific tools anyone can use to manage mental health challenges, from journaling techniques that help process emotions to simple breathing exercises that create crucial moments of pause during heightened anxiety. These aren't theoretical concepts - they're battle-tested strategies from someone who understands darkness intimately.

Perhaps most powerful is Will's perspective on legacy. "It's not about how I led," he explains. "It's what did they learn from me, what were they inspired from, and how I lived my life every single day." This simple yet profound insight challenges us all to consider not just our achievements, but the invisible impact of how we move through the world each day.
