You Achieved Your Goals, Now You’re Happy? (Think Again) - Michael Smoak

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In this 11 April 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Michael Smoak, a mindset coach, entrepreneur, and podcaster. 

What does it actually cost to live a great life? From the outside, top performers seem to have everything we want, but the story isn’t that simple. Behind every extraordinary life is a series of trade-offs, sacrifices, and unseen costs. So what is the true price of ambition, and are you willing to pay it?

Expect to learn what high-performance actually looks like, what the number one fear that holds people back is and how to get over it, how to face and overcome your fears, why the path to being the best version of yourself should feel somewhat lonely, why most of the things you want in life has an opportunity cost attached to it, why you should always prioritise physical health and more.
