Reece invites Will Collins on the podcast and the pair discuss his incredible journey from a wild and reckless youth to building a successful design business and creating a life on his own terms.Will opens up about his younger years, the mistakes that shaped him, meeting his wife at just 23 and the profound impact she had on changing the direction of his life. He takes Reece back to the early days of starting his own business in 1993, the struggles that came with backing himself, the lessons he learned from getting ripped off and why sometimes the most important business decision you can make is simply knowing when to say no.The pair dive deep into Will’s passion for architecture and design, exploring what truly makes a house a home, why style will always beat size, and the biggest lessons Will has learned after decades in the industry.But this conversation goes far beyond business and building.Will shares his journey with health and ageing, from boxing at 40, taking up yoga at 50 and surfing at 58, to completely rejecting the idea that getting older means slowing down. He explains why he believes it's never too late to reinvent yourself, pursue something new and build a life that genuinely excites you.Reece and Will also explore relationships, freedom, personal style, success, failure, longevity, life philosophy and the experiences that have shaped the man he is today.A raw, insightful and incredibly inspiring conversation about building a business, overcoming your past, looking after yourself and refusing to put an expiry date on your life.Because just like a great home, a great life doesn't happen by accident. You have to design it.Subscribe to The RABBOTT Hole on Instagram@reecepabbott@rabbottholepodcast
