Many people chase success by copying what they see around them: working harder, doing more, and aiming for goals they've never truly questioned. Yet progress often stalls not because of a lack of effort, but because the destination itself isn't clear.

Discover why success is personal, how clarity acts as a true North Star, and why aligning your work with who you really are changes everything.

Some setbacks hit harder than failure—they hit your identity.

In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, former professional Rugby Player and Business Consultant Jackson Wray opens up about one of the most difficult moments of his career: the cancelled Barbarians vs. England match, a prestigious opportunity that disappeared overnight after one unexpected decision. What followed was disappointment, public scrutiny, and the heavy weight of feeling he had let people down.

He shares how he worked through the swirl of embarrassment, pressure, and regret, not by shutting down but by having the hard conversations—speaking openly with teammates, coaches, friends, and people he respected. Through honesty, accountability, and time, he slowly rebuilt his confidence and reframed the experience into something he could grow from instead of carry as a burden.
