713 | It Starts With Feeling the Grief with Will Greenblatt

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, we speak with Public Speaking Coach, Will Greenblatt. Will started acting in film and TV at the age of seven, starring in The Homecoming with Oscar® winner Anne Bancroft. He graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 2010, but the toxic environment of the program left him jaded, so he quit acting. He moved to Spain where he discovered his love for teaching English, and then dived into the world of entrepreneurship, co-founding a startup in China. He founded OutLoud Speakers School in 2017, teaching public speaking & communication skills to entrepreneurs and executives. He has repeatedly spoken and coached at Google, Wayfair, Boston Dynamics, TechStars, Founder Institute and Ericsson, as well as providing coaching to over 4500 individuals virtually worldwide. Will’s clients have won numerous pitch competitions, got deals on Dragon’s Den, and raised over $350 million USD in investment. He’s also a Top Public Speaking Voice on LinkedIn, a nominee for “Newcomer of The Year” by the Speaker Awards, and is “Canada’s best pitch coach” (Jordan Jocius, Founder Institute Waterloo).

In this episode, we discuss:

1) My journey from depressed actor to public speaking coach, quitting cocaine and weed, overcoming grief with therapy, leaving Canada for a while, and pursuing business when everyone else were actors’. 2) The difference between validation vs connection and how being stuck in a cycle of frozen grief will trap us in our emotions and we continue to seek outside of ourselves for the answers.
