Trying to regain control of his physical and mental health, Will decided to embark on a public fitness journey where he aimed to lose around 20 pounds (9kg) in 20 weeks. As the old saying goes, “Healthy body, healthy mind,” and Will did not know the power of this until he started his journey.

Will explained that he discovered "a whole lot of hidden things" about himself during this, reported NBC News. Starting the show, Smith never imagined the things he would uncover and he is grateful that he has.

One of the parts that hit hardest in this trailer is the part where Will is sitting with his fam and tells them, "That was the only time in my life that I ever considered suicide.” The chills!
