Behind the Mic with Nicole Will, Founder of willGather

While I've been gifted the opportunity to bring out the best in my guests and their message- this person, right here, brings out the best in me.

My best friend of 28 years, Katie McDonald, interviews me today.

The message of listening when ideas find us and taking steps forward each day towards our dreams weaves its way through our conversation. If anything, Katie has taught me to show up with curiosity, find the joy, celebrate the magic, and always lead with kindness.

Nicole shares about:

  • What led her to start the podcast
  • Her mission in each episode
  • How she finds and connects to her guests
  • The podcast process
  • Overcoming fear to pursue your dreams
  • How we can be open to receiving goodness and amplifying our message to do good
  • What's next for Nicole
