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.

🎙️ About Jack:
I moved to France alone at 16, started my first business at 17, and launched this podcast because I kept meeting people who had the answers to questions I didn't even know I was asking.  My philosophy: you can set massive goals while being deeply fulfilled right now. That's the duality of gratitude and ambition.
