https://lewishowes.com/mindset - Order a copy of my new book The Greatness Mindset today!Joe Dispenza is an international speaker, researcher, author, and educator who is passionate about the findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to help people heal themselves of illness, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases so they can enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life as well as evolve their consciousness.Joe is the New York Times bestselling author of You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter, which explores our ability to heal without drugs or surgery, but rather by thought alone. His most recent book, Becoming Supernatural, talks about how we can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profoundly mystical, transcendental experiences and develop a more healthy body, mind, and spiritual life.Joe didn’t always work in the field of neuroscience. He started out as a chiropractor, earning his doctor of chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta, GA. He had a successful chiropractic practice, but one day he had a dangerous accident. In 1986, while cycling in a triathlon, Joe was hit by a truck. He broke six vertebrae in his spine, and his doctors told him he would never walk again.Joe asked four different surgeons what he should do, and all four of them prescribed a complicated surgery. The surgery would relieve some of his pain but nearly guarantee he would never walk again. But that wasn’t good enough. He refused to have the surgery and instead began to imagine himself totally healed. He visualized each vertebrae healing and reconstructed his spine in his mind. In just ten and a half weeks, Joe was back on his feet, and in twelve weeks, he was training again and back at work at his chiropractic clinic. He fully healed himself with just his mind.In this episode you will learn:How to stop being held back by your past.Why gratitude is crucial for changing your thoughts.About the scientific evidence backing up Dr. Joe’s work.How to use quantum physics to accomplish your dreams.Joe’s prediction for the future.The reason people’s dreams don’t happen.Plus much more…For more go to lewishowes.com/1413Click below to hear Joe Dispenza's previous episodes,Break Free Of The Addiction To Negative Thoughts And Emotions: EP 1309Transform Your Mind To Manifest & Attract Financial Abundance: EP 1288Transform Your Mind For Lasting Love & Magnetic Relationships (Part 1): EP 1054

Thoughts like, "I'm not enough," play on repeat.Other times, pride has a way of convincing us that we're doing everything right, when we're actually not, and that's not great either. We always need to be willing to change, to humble ourselves when necessary, and to get out of our comfort zone.On this episode of The School of Greatness, I've got Dave Hollis in the house to tell you his story about struggle, adaptation, and success.Dave Hollis is one half of the dynamic, powerhouse duo that is Rachel and Dave Hollis. He's the former Disney film distribution chief who was responsible for the relaunch of the Star Wars franchise, the Avengers series, and mega-hits like Frozen and Beauty and the Beast, but he left his prestigious post at Disney last year to lead The Hollis Company alongside his wife Rachel Hollis.In addition to running a company and raising his four beautiful children, Dave is touring the US, regaling tales of how one former personal development skeptic became a spokesperson for growth.Dave understands the path to success well and acknowledges that it's a path full of change. It requires not only strategy but also the willingness to grow and adapt to situations you never saw coming.I had Dave's wife, Rachel Hollis, author of Girl, Wash Your Face, on my podcast a while back, and I was so excited to have Dave on here as well! He gets vulnerable talking about their marriage and how they've navigated all this crazy stuff together.I think you all are really gonna enjoy this one. Join me on Episode 926 to learn how to get out of your own way so you can reach your fullest potential with Dave Hollis.What has been the biggest area of growth for you in the last 2 years? (9:06)Is there anything in your marriage that still isn’t resolved since Rachel’s career took off? (19:30)What have you learned is the common thing that holds women back from their greatness?

925 Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt on The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a gift.Forgive and forget. We've all heard this phrase at some point, but it's way easier said than done.We are all hurt at some point in our lives. Maybe a close friend has betrayed your trust, a family member ignored your hospitality, or a partner cheated on you. Sometimes, these conflicts end, and the other person admits their wrong and asks for forgiveness, but other times, they don't. Maybe they couldn't care less that they hurt you.Sometimes, people intentionally hurt us. Maybe you've been abused, neglected, manipulated, or harassed. As a young boy, I was sexually assaulted by a man I didn't know. It was traumatizing.There are something things that just seem unforgivable.But forgiveness is not something you need permission for. It's a choice that you make yourself, and ultimately, it's an empowering and liberating one.My guest today on The School of Greatness has just written a whole book about the subject, and it's a book you're going to want to read.Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is an American New York Times bestselling author, TV correspondent, philanthropist, and the daughter of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and broadcast journalist Maria Shriver. In 2019, Katherine married actor Chris Pratt, and let me tell you — they are relationship goals. In 2010, she wrote her first book entitled Rock What You've Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who's Been There and Back. In this book, Katherine describes her personal journey and encourages other young women to achieve confidence and a positive self-image. Her fourth book called The Gift of Forgiveness is set for release on March 10. In the book, she interviews 22 different women about their experience overcoming trauma and hurt while figuring out the path to healing and forgiveness. Katherine is also a HUGE animal lover. Katherine works as an Ambassador for Best Friends Animal Society and the ASPCA, lending her time, voice, and energy to spread awareness about animal rescue. She rescued her own dog, Maverick, and even wrote a children's book about him called Maverick and Me. Katherine is such a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. I really enjoyed this interview with her and was blown away by the things she had to say.Are you battling with forgiveness? Do you feel imprisoned by your pain?

922 In Order to Be Successful You Must Do This: James Altucher
Want to be successful? You gotta fail first. If you want to accomplish anything great in life, it's most likely not going to be an easy path to get there.Sometimes, things fall into place for us. But more often than not, things fall out of place, and we find ourselves sitting in failure. Sometimes it's our fault, sometimes it's not, but whatever the case, failures are hard to handle.I myself understand failure. I used to live on my sister's coach. My injury immobilized me, and for months, I wallowed in self-pity. Finally, I realized that my failures and hardships didn't hinder me from greatness. My sister kicked me out, and I learned to fight for myself again.My guest today knows all about failure and how it can set you up for success.In addition to having incredible hair, James Altucher is an American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, author, venture capitalist, and podcaster. He has published 20 books, and he is a contributor to publications including The Financial Times and The Huffington Post. He is also the host of The James Altucher Show in which he interviews innovators, creators, and just all around amazing people. James has founded or cofounded more than 20 companies, 17 of which have failed, but he hasn't let this slow him down.Failure is a big part of James' story. In fact, I believe that anyone who is remotely successful has probably experienced an extraordinary amount of failure in their life. Why? Because overcoming failure is a step towards success.At one point, James lost almost all his money. He was completely broke. He had less than two hundred dollars in his bank account. But somehow, he was able to build his business back up, and change that two hundred dollars into fifteen million.Want to learn his secret?

919 Live Your Passion, Use Your Voice, and Own Your Story with JoJo
You have the power to change your story. Have you ever felt like your life story was not your own?There's always the pressure to become someone who you aren't. Maybe you're comparing yourself to the people you see on social media. This is so easy to do. We often just post the best of ourselves on the internet, and then the illusion is that everyone is living these perfect lives.But we know that isn't true. You can't compare your real life to a filtered version of someone else's.Sometimes the pressure comes from within, and other times, it comes directly from the mouths of other people. It's easy to let the outside world dictate who you are supposed to be. People love to tell people what to do and who to become.But you have your own voice in this world. People can try to shout over it, but it's up to you to make a stand for who you are.On this episode of The School of Greatness, I had the pleasure of talking with JoJo, a pop-icon, who shares about battling comparison, asserting her voice, and writing her own story in the midst of extreme pressure.JoJo is a pop and R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She released her first album, JoJo, in June 2004, and the album's first single, "Leave (Get Out)," was No.1 on the US Billboard Pop Chart. She was only 13 years old - the youngest solo artist in history to ever top the billboard charts. She’s also starred in movies like Aquamarine and RV (with Robin Williams) and in TV shows like Hawaii 5-0 and Lethal Weapon. In 2006, she released her second studio album, The High Road, which was also a great success, but her third album, Mad Love, was delayed due to record label disputes. She realized she didn't have power over her own voice, and this was non-negotiable. In 2008, JoJo founded her own record label, Clover Music, and re-released her previous albums. Her fourth studio album, good to know, will drop in spring 2020, and in April she will kick off an international tour.JoJo was offered her first record deal at six years old. From a young age, she has felt immense pressure from music industry to become who they want her to be, but JoJo made a stand for herself.Join me on Episode 919 with JoJo to learn how she owned her story and how you can too.Where do you think your life would be if you’d had social media early on in your career? (1:20)Did you dream of being a superstar when you were a kid? (7:40)When did fear come into your life as a creative? (9:15)How did you learn to create your own self-worth? (19:45)What challenges do you face being in an intimate relationship? (25:39)What were the most powerful moments you’ve experienced on stage?

918 Become the Chess Player
Don't settle for being a pawn. If you've played chess before, then you'll know there's several different pieces in the game. You have the queen and king, obviously the most important pieces, and then on the other side of the spectrum, you have the pawns.Pawns can't do a lot. They have limited movement, and a lot of them get knocked over pretty early. There's always the chance they could win the game, but that chance is pretty low.When it comes to investing your money, it's easy to be a pawn and not a player. It's amazing how much compounded interest you can earn from investment, but it's equally upsetting how much of that interest can be negated by fees.If you don't know what you're doing, you'll probably become a pawn in someone else's game.On this Five Minute Friday episode, I revisit a conversation with legendary Tony Robbins who explains the necessity in being knowledgeable, strategic, and intentional when it comes to investing your money.If you've listened to The School of Greatness podcast before, you've probably heard me mention Tony Robbins. I've had him on the show several times, and he is an absolute legend.Tony Robbins is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, philanthropist, and the nation’s #1 Life and Business Strategist. Author of six internationally bestselling books, including the New York Times #1 best-sellers MONEY: Master the Game and UNSHAKEABLE, Tony has empowered more than 50 million people from 100 countries through his audio, video, and life training programs.Tony uses his money to help others and give back to humanity. Once he got rid of the scarcity mindset, he was able to become the man we know him as today.On February 27th, 2020, Tony Robbins and fellow entrepreneur Dean Graziosi are hosting a free webinar training for anyone who wants to learn how they can be successful in the exploding digital economy. If you're looking to follow in their footsteps, this is an opportunity you can't pass up.Thinking about investing but not sure how? You know, 96% of mutual funds don't beat the market. That leaves a 4% margin for you to succeed. If you want to win the game, you're going to have to be a player, not a pawn.Join me on Episode 918 to learn how with icon Tony Robbins.Disclosure: I am an independent Mastermind.com / Mind Mint LLC / BBG Enterprises Affiliate, not an employee.

910 The Wim Hof Experience: Mindset Training, Power Breathing and Brotherhood
“The breath is the carrier of consciousness.” If anyone has mastered their mind, it's extreme athlete Wim Hof.Wim Hof got his nickname “The Iceman” by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure. His feats include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his bare feet, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes. He developed the Wim Hof Method: a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind.He says that our brains have the power to guarantee us happiness, strength, and health. We can actually regulate our mind and the autonomous nervous system by breathing and being present.I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Poland along several other top entrepreneurs and business owners to experience a week with Wim Hof that I will never forget.As a group, we participated in several different exercises. Some involved meditation and breathing and others involved enduring intense cold and ice water challenges.On this trip, we all learned about the importance of brotherhood. Some of the physical challenges would have been unbearable if we were going at it alone. We all had each other to encourage, to motivate, and to push.We've all been in a place, where we think, "I can't do this anymore."That's a mindset roadblock that we were taught to overcome. Often in the midst of being uncomfortable, our minds and bodies panic. Our top priority is becoming comfortable again. But this is not often the correct way to deal with stress or pain.The mind is powerful, and if you teach it to avoid pain, then you'll never reach your full potential.If anyone has mastered the art of being uncomfortable while releasing stress, it's Wim Hof. He gave all us an experience we will never forget.How deep breathing practices create spiritual experiences in the body and mind (0:45)What Aubrey learned on the trip (2:52)What Steve learned on the trip (5:23)What Humble learned on the trip (6:53)What Mike learned on the trip (11:49)What Jesse learned on the trip (15:19)What Marq learned on the trip (20:59)What Matt (Cesar) learned on the trip (24:20)What Enahm learned on the trip (27:00)What Nick learned on the trip (33:30)Why Mike walked across America (37:14)What Taylor learned on the trip (40:18)What Mitch learned on the trip (41:28)What Matthew learned on the trip (43:45)What Peter learned on the trip (52:05)What Dalton learned on the trip (53:35)What Wim learned on the trip (55:23)Aubrey’s thoughts on the power of breathwork (57:30)Matthew’s thoughts on leadership (1:01:18)Plus much more...Wim Hof EpisodeSteve Weatherford EpisodeHumble the Poet EpisodeMike Posner EpisodeAubrey Marcus EpisodeMatthew Hussey EpisodeJesse Itzler EpisodeNick Symmonds EpisodeMatthew Hussey EpisodeWim Hof appWim Hof InstagramSteve Weatherford InstagramHumble the Poet InstagramMike Posner InstagramAubrey Marcus InstagramMatthew Hussey InstagramJesse Itzler InstagramMarq Brown InstagramNick Symmonds InstagramTaylor Jenson InstagramMitch Matthews InstagramEnahm Hof InstagramMatthew Hussey InstagramDalton Misner InstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/910 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

908 Kobe Bryant on Life, Love and Legacy
“If you’re going to have a story, have a big story.” - Joseph CampbellI was heartbroken to hear the news of the fatal helicopter crash that caused the death of legendary Kobe Bryant, along with his oldest daughter Gigi and seven others.Kobe inspired me for years, and I know he inspired so many other people across the world.My heart goes out to his family and the families of those involved with the crash. There are no words to express my sadness. When I interviewed Kobe in 2018, I asked him what love was, and he described love as "a journey that has its ups and its downs...it's a certain persistence to go through the good times and the bad times with someone or something that you truly love."Even though Kobe is not with us, I know that his legacy of love and greatness will continue to inspire and strengthen us for years to come.In this episode, I wanted to revisit our interview together as a memorial of his testament of greatness. Kobe was a champion, and to be a champion, you have to have the champion mentality. He definitely had that figured out.No one has mastered the art of staying focused on your goal and working tirelessly towards it like the legend and icon, Kobe Bryant. Kobe is widely regarded as one of the best basketball players of all time.He won five NBA championships with the Lakers and led the NBA in scoring during two seasons. He was an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team. He holds the NBA record for the most seasons played with one franchise for an entire career: 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.In 2018, he received an Academy Award for his animated short “Dear Basketball.” He also launched a podcast called The Punies that teaches kids morals and history in a really fun way.Kobe was known for his Mamba Mentality, but it’s his big heart that is truly admirable. He was constantly reinventing himself and continuing to pursue new dreams.I have so much respect for Kobe Bryant. Please join me in revisiting his legacy, his Mamba Mentality, and his wisdom on embracing failure on Episode 908.Who was your greatest teacher? (7:10)What are some other things you do to raise the level of your teammates? (17:00)What’s been your greatest challenge since leaving the game? (20:30)What’s a constant theme in your life?

906 Put People First
Leaders value their people.Dale Partridge is an incredibly successful serial entrepreneur who has not only made several fortunes, but has spoken on stages like Facebook HQ, created a massive social media following, and is a well-known author.But what I’ve learned from Dale about business, relationships, leadership, and life is beyond any of that.Sometimes you need to look far outside your circle to get insight on how to reach the next level. I was in this position a few years ago. I wasn’t learning anything new to market my business online.And that’s when I met Dale.We recorded this podcast episode a few years ago, and I wanted to feature a clip of it on 5 Minute Friday where we talk about the best ways to interact with your employees to create an incredible culture.This to me is one of the most overlooked but essential parts of being a good leader - and a good entrepreneur.

905 Grant Cardone: Overcome Insecurities and Build Your Billion Dollar Brand
Even the most successful people are insecure.There is one guest I keep having on the podcast who is unlike any other.He always says exactly what he thinks. He talks about money in a real, relatable way. And when he comes on the show, he shows his soft side and cries.Yes, I'm talking about my good friend, Grant Cardone.Grant was in town a couple of weeks ago and stopped by to record an episode with me. Since this is becoming a yearly tradition, we covered a lot of what he has learned in the last year as he has scaled his businesses. It was amazing to hear his perspective on what can be accomplished in a year (and a decade.)CEO of CardoneCapital, international speaker, entrepreneur and author of The 10X Rule & creator of 21 best-selling business programs, Grant Cardone owns & operates seven privately held companies and a $1.5B portfolio of multifamily properties. Named the #1 marketer to watch by Forbes Magazine, Cardone is also the founder of the The 10X Movement & The 10 Growth Conference, the world’s largest business & entrepreneur conference.I love pushing Grant to think bigger about his already huge goals. In this conversation, he opened up about how his wife Elena pushes him in this way, what his daughters have taught him about fun and love, and why insecurity is still a huge factor in his life.If you're ready to expand your mindset and face your biggest fears, this conversation will take you there in Episode 905.Do you think insecurity is a good thing? (10:12)What’s your definition of success? (12:40)How do you get over the insecurity that comes at you? (16:18)How do you get your head out of the mechanics to make your dream possible?

904 Live a Longer Life and Reverse Aging with Dr. David Sinclair
Aging is a disease.Everyone gets old. But did you ever think of the symptoms of aging as a disease that can be cured?I'd heard about Dr. David Sinclair and his ground-breaking longevity research, and I knew he would be a fascinating person to interview about this idea.We ended up going really deep into the science of why we age, how to reverse it, and what is actually in our control.David told stories he'd never shared before, and I kept asking questions because I was so interested in what he was telling me.David Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. He is an inventor on 35 patents and has received more than 35 awards and honors. In 2014, he was on Time Magazine’s list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and listed as Time's Top 50 in healthcare in 2018.In this conversation, we discussed all of my top questions on why we age, how much of it is reversible, and all of the ways I've heard to increase your longevity and health.David is a wealth of wisdom on all these topics, and he also shared some of the hardest times of his life, including watching his mother die of lung cancer and why that impacted his work so much.If you are committed to improving your health and living a long and healthy life, this conversation is a must-listen in Episode 904.Is it possible to reverse death?

903 Build From the Ground Up
Entrepreneurs need vision.If you could interview 200 of the top entrepreneurs in the country, do you think you’d find some similarities?Amy Wilkinson guessed that she would.And she did.Over 5 years of research later, she wrote a book that examines the top 6 traits that very successful entrepreneurs share.Amy is a brilliant woman who has worked at the White House and co-founded a company in Silicon Valley (as well as taught at Ivy League universities).In our conversation, we discuss these top traits and Amy gives awesome (real life) examples to illustrate each one. I took a clip from the original episode when Amy was on the show in which she shares examples of how to bridge the gap between your competition and build your vision from the ground up on 5 Minute Friday in Episode 903.If you enjoyed this episode, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/903 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

902 Master the Art of Negotiating in Business and Life with Former FBI Agent Chris Voss
There's a way to always get what you want.And it doesn't mean you need to be a tyrant. The art of negotiating is what each of us can learn in order to consistently and confidently get people on our side. To learn this art, I brought back a super popular guest from a few years ago, former FBI negotiator Chris Voss. Since our first interview, he has only grown in popularity, and I knew he'd have new insights about how to use the art of negotiation in business and life.Chris is not just a teacher and an author.During Chris’s 24 year tenure in the FBI, he was trained in the art of negotiation by not only the FBI but Scotland Yard and Harvard Law School. He has used his many years of experience in international crisis and high-stakes negotiations to develop a unique program and team that applies these globally proven techniques to the business world. Now he runs a top consulting company and teaches negotiation to graduate students at universities like Harvard and Georgetown.In this conversation, we discussed several ways you can negotiate in your day to day life, including getting discounts on anything you buy, closing huge business deals, and walking away from deals and relationships that will never work out. I can't wait for you to hear what Chris has to teach in Episode 902.How can we navigate emotional issues without getting too emotional about it? (2:40)How often did you fall backwards as an FBI negotiator and get reactive? (8:06)What are the biggest findings you learned about negotiation since your book came out?

901 Rob Dyrdek: From Small Town Skateboarder to Media Mogul Empire
I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY I'M EXCITED ABOUT EACH EPISODE OF THE SCHOOL OF GREATNESS.But I’m REALLY excited about this episode.And not just because the guest is another Ohio boy! (But I wore one of my best Ohio shirts and hats when he came by the studio.)You probably already know him from his multiple hit shows on MTV. Or from his long list of world records in skateboarding. Or for his incredible branding with labels like DC shoes.Even if you’ve somehow never heard of Rob Dyrdek, you’re in for a huge treat.Rob is cool for many reasons. But I literally couldn’t stop asking him questions during this interview because he is so SMART when it comes to business, entrepreneurship, focus, habits, and vision. Just a few of my favorite things 🙂Rob and I dove deep into all these topics, as well as the real motivation behind all of them – to create happiness now. We recorded this episode a few years ago, but I wanted to bring it back because what Rob teaches is still so relevant and powerful for entrepreneurs today.I know you’ll get just as much out of it as I did in Episode 901 with the legendary Rob Dyrdek.How do you describe yourself and your bio? (35:26)How do you manage your energy so that you're always full? (40:33)What are you non-negotiable daily habits? (58:46)How Rob got royalties on a third of DC shoes' entire line in his mid-twenties (4:45)What the term "stirfry" means in entrepreneurship (5:52)What the difference is between a business and an idea (12:08)Why Rob embraces stalkers (16:24)The story behind his sister getting married inside the Fantasy Factory (19:20)How Fantasy Factory almost didn't make it on air (26:45)The story of how Rob almost died surfing with Laird Hamilton (33:38)How to be happy everyday (38:18)The key to living a balanced and full life (43:20)How Rob's life changed when he met Tony Robbins (43:52)Why it's so important to pick one thing to master (44:50)Plus much more...If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/901 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

900 Aim for Wonder Over Success
“I didn’t ask for success, I asked for wonder.” - Abraham Joshua HeschelWe talk a lot about building businesses, physical health, and a champion’s mindset on The School of Greatness.What we don’t talk about as often is the part of greatness that is harder to define and explain: spirituality.But that’s not because it’s not important.I had never heard of today’s guest until a friend told me I had to get him on the show.And once I learned about him, I agreed.Rob Bell is an author, pastor, and incredible human being who has not only built one of the fastest growing churches in America, but become a voice for anyone who is seeking to understand faith and spirituality in today’s world.He has authored several books on these subjects, done shows with Oprah, and toured the world at concert venues giving stand-up performances about spirituality, religion, and faith.In this 5 Minute Friday episode, I wanted to share a clip from the very first episode I recorded with Rob on the podcast. He talks about the difference between wonder and success, and why we should be aiming for the first.If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/900 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

899 Brene Brown: Create True Belonging and Heal the World
THIS ONE IS WORTH A REPEAT.Yes, one of the MOST requested guests on the show (since I launched it), has been this incredible woman.She has one of the most watched TED talks of all time. She is a three-time #1 NYT bestselling author (and soon to be four). She has changed the face of emotional intelligence, relationships, and self-acceptance for millions of people.But her area of expertise is one that not many people are willing to talk about — shame and vulnerability.I’m talking about the one and only Brené Brown.Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston. But once her TED talk blew up the internet a few years ago, she has appeared on much bigger platforms around the world, including Oprah, the New York Times, and many others.Not only have her books changed millions of people’s perspectives on what it actually means to be brave, authentic, and loved, she has started a conversation that has created a ripple effect among other thought leaders.I’ve been aware of her work for years, quoted it in my books, and followed her patiently, waiting for the right time to interview her for the podcast.The time came a couple of years ago, on the eve of her newest book launch, and what we discussed was so powerful. I loved this episode so much, I decided to re-post it at the top of this new year as a reminder to all of us about how important these topics are.Not only did we get into what it means to truly belong (the topic of her newest book), we got real about the tragic events happening in our country and what we get to do to change what’s going on.How do we find out who we are? (6:08)What is the time in your life you have been the most alone? (11:13)If you had a message to give to our nation’s leader, what would you say? (44:45)What belonging truly means (3:45)What makes people complex (7:01)What every parent needs to know about when their kids grow up (13:44)Why parents are so defensive about their parenting style (18:52)How to support men in being willing to discuss vulnerable topics (24:30)How to handle speaking up about sensitive topics (30:01)Why people hold onto hate (33:50)Why our avoidance of pain is causing so many huge issues (36:35)What Brene would say to all the men in the world (46:36)How to deal with shame (since we can’t get rid of it) (48:58)Plus much more…If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/899 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

898 Change Yourself in Order to Change the World with Dhar Mann
CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU.Most of us have faced one big failure so far in our lives. A huge rock bottom. A super hard time. But Dhar Mann has faced 3 massive failures and he's only in his mid-30s. I knew about Dhar years ago, when he was a mega-successful Instagram influencer living the life. Or so it seemed. Dhar Mann is a serial entrepreneur who has experienced the highs and lows of success. From funding millions of dollars in real estate loans at 19, to his time in the medical marijuana industry, to scaling an eight-figure cosmetics business, he has a proven ability to build companies. Most recently he has become the fastest growing viral video creator in less than one year with over 3 billion views across Facebook, IGTV, and YouTube.Recently, I became friends with Dhar in real life and was blown away by his story of shallow success, failure, rock bottom, reinvention, and true success today. After disappearing from social media for 4 years, losing everything, including his reputation, and getting into legal trouble, Dhar has reappeared as a new man. I loved hearing him tell his full story, for the first time publicly, and the wisdom he has learned from losing everything to building it back the right way. I'm excited for you to hear this story yourself in Episode 898 with Dhar Mann.What was the final thing that made you pull away from social media for 4 years? (8:26)Why did you feel like you had to be an early success story? (44:05)What’s been your biggest lesson on creating viral content? (1:02:34)What should someone focus on when creating content for social media? (1:05:22)The story Dhar hasn’t shared publicly yet about his biggest failures (13:20)Why your reputation is worth more than money (30:05)What happens when you accept that you are the problem (31:54)Why you must be in the right mindset to take advantage of opportunities (36:12)Why Dhar waited so long to come back on social media (54:00)How to stay positive while building your brand and content when no one is watching (56:30)Plus much more...If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/898 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes

896 The Science of Sleep for Ultimate Success with Shawn Stevenson
NEW DECADE, NEW SLEEP GOALS. So often we glorify not getting enough sleep. We brag about pulling an all-nighter. We “grind” or wake up at the crack of dawn. Some of us think that staying up is helping us achieve our dreams. But sleep is key to our mental and physical health. It even keeps us young. So why do so many of us put quality sleep on the back burner? On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about sleep with a bestselling author on the subject: Shawn Stevenson. Shawn Stevenson is an author of “Sleep Smarter” and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 Health podcast in the country on iTunes. A graduate of The University of Missouri - St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology and kinesiology, and went on to be the founder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations worldwide. Shawn says that often we look at sleep as something we should sacrifice to be more present for other people and our goals. But the word sacrifice actually means “to make sacred.” We need to make sleep a sacred practice that heals our body and mind.

THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE I TRUST WHO HAVEN’T BEEN THROUGH SOME SORT OF ADVERSITY.
Many people feel that holding their shame hostage will make them a stronger person.

894 How to Fascinate
DOMINATE YOUR COMPETITION. Most of us don’t have unlimited budgets to market ourselves. So how can we compete with people who do? The answer is simple: we have to fascinate. Utilize whatever you have that is unique to capture people’s attention. Stop trying to offer what your competition is offering- instead, do something they can’t. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Sally Hogshead she shared how to fascinate by utilizing the first nine seconds of your audience’s attention.

But she didn't let any of that stop her. Sara's hustle and can-do attitude is just one thing I learned about her in this interview. We dive into dealing with grief, how to scale companies the right way, what it's like to be mentored by Richard Branson, and much more.

891 The Power of Rest
OVERWORKING ISN’T THE GOAL. So often, we get a pat on the back when we run ourselves into the ground. We get recognition for always staying late at work. We answer emails at night and on the weekend. People ask us, “Wow, how do you manage to DO IT ALL?!” But what we’re really doing is destroying our minds and our bodies. We can only operate at 110% for so long. Professional athletes know the importance of rest and recovery. They work it into their schedule, and they never skip it. Why shouldn’t the rest of us do the same? For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Arianna Huffington where she shared how she reshaped her life and health after collapsing from burnout.

890 Finding Happiness Through Fame with Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons
YOU HAVE TO LET GO.
So many of us make decisions because we feel like we have to do something.
Whether it’s the religion we grew up in, what our parents want, or what we feel is culturally acceptable, we often betray ourselves.
But you can only live this way for so long before you start to break down.
You’ll lose sight of who you are and suddenly realize you don’t know how to find it.
It’s a lonely feeling.
For me, this point came after I got injured in football. I was forced to look at my decisions and figure out what I wanted.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about spirituality, relationships, and mental health with one of the most successful musicians of all time: Dan Reynolds.
Dan Reynolds is the lead singer of Imagine Dragons and a recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award.

889 Nico Rosberg on Becoming a Formula One World Champion
CHAMPIONS AREN’T SUPER-HUMAN, THEY’RE SUPER-INTENTIONAL. I’ve noticed that there are two types of champions. One of them wins and says, “I am the greatest that ever lived.” The other says, “All of the glory goes to God.” Both of these mindsets have good results, but is one better than the other? You need a certain amount of arrogance to be the best. After all, self-doubt is the biggest crusher of dreams. But if you aren’t able to look at what you could be doing better, you’ll eventually decline. People won’t want to be around you. And you might destroy yourself in the process. So how can we lead with confidence and avoid getting a massive ego? On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about self-doubt and self-love with a sensitive, inspiring Formula One Champion: Nico Rosberg. Nico Rosberg followed in his father’s footsteps to win the Formula One World Championship in 2016. He grew up racing against Lewis Hamilton and constantly coming in second only to one day win the championship for himself. Nico shares how even though he was at the top of his field, he struggled with a fear of failure. In a field as macho as car racing, it’s inspiring to hear a man be so vulnerable. So get ready to learn how the tiny details matter when going for big wins on Episode 889.
Some Questions I Ask:
Why isn’t Formula One as popular in the US? (06:44)
Do you feel like your dad pushed you? (11:00)

Where does your lack of self-love come from? (28:00)

888 Your Health Is Not Shameful
YOU NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY. So many of us (especially men) are afraid to open up about what we’re going through. We often don’t even tell the people who are closest to us. For whatever reason, we think we have to suffer alone. But there is freedom in sharing your struggles. Whether it’s depression, low self-esteem, or something like erectile dysfunction, you need to be able to tell your doctor. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Bill Phillips where he talked about the importance of getting help for depression and other problems. Bill is the former Editor-In-Chief of Men’s Health Magazine and the author of The Better Man Project. Learn how to talk to your doctor and confront your health issues in Episode 888.

885 The Power of Counterbalance
IT’S NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECT. We all have this vision of the ideal life. We work hard and get everything done. All of our relationships are in great shape. We take time to exercise and eat right. But the truth is, there is no magical destination. And even if we reach that place, it could all be destroyed in an instant by one of life’s famous curveballs. Instead of looking at balance like a happily ever after, look at it as something you constantly need to reevaluate and adjust. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Jay Papasan where he shared his philosophy of counterbalance. Jay Papasan is the co-author of The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results. He wants you to be purposeful about the way you spend your time.

884 Successful Women Leaders on Mental Toughness and Building Confidence
USE YOUR PAIN AS AN ARROW. None of us like to feel unpleasant emotions. Whether it’s pain, anxiety, or stress, we numb them with food, alcohol, and overscheduling. But there’s a lot we can learn from discomfort. Instead of drowning your feelings, get curious about them. Your envy can lead you to your passion. Your anxiety can show you your authentic self. And your pain might be asking you to comfort something in your past that is keeping you from your future. Unless we embrace where we’re from, we’ll never get where we’re going. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with some of the most inspirational women on the planet: Elizabeth Gilbert, Rachel Hollis, Sarah Blakely, Glennon Doyle, Mel Robbins, and Lisa Nichols. Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of Eat, Pray, Love. Rachel Hollis is the bestselling author of Girl, Wash Your Face.

IS YOUR PERSONAL BRAND MAKING YOU MONEY OR COSTING YOU TIME?

We hear a lot more talk about personal brands today than we did even just a year or two ago, but I still don’t think people are acting seriously enough when it comes to establishing, scaling, or monetizing their brands.
I am not exaggerating when I say there is no way I would be where I am today, personally or professionally, if I hadn’t started getting strategic and intentional about branding over 10 years ago.
And, as time goes on, personal branding is only getting more important — for all of us.
Luckily, things are a lot easier for us today than they were for me back then.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or employee, pay close attention to this episode, because Rory brings the heat (again) and his advice will be transformative — if you take action. And if you’re really serious about monetizing your personal brand, you can book a free brand strategy call with Rory’s team.

What are the five best ways to start monetizing your brand (AKA how to get P.A.I.D.S.)? (16:46)
How does someone know which of these five ways to monetize a personal brand is the best for them? (40:07)

882 Own Your Pain
YOU CAN’T DISMISS PAIN. So many of us try to cover up our pain. We eat too much, buy too much, and drink too much in order to not feel anything. I used to avoid my feelings. I didn’t have the tools to process heartache and loss so I found another outlet: inflicting pain on the football field. But pain doesn’t just disappear- it will find another way of coming to the surface. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Brene Brown where she explained how hate is just a mask for pain. Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past fourteen years studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of three #1 New York Times bestsellers – The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, and Rising Strong. If you look at the world today, people are pointing fingers looking for someone to blame so they don’t have to confront what’s inside. We are much better at causing pain than feeling pain. Learn how to tolerate discomfort in Episode 882.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
How Brene thinks we can heal the country (2:00)
The reason why people hate (2:30)

MONEY IS A GREAT SERVANT BUT A BAD MASTER. Money can get a bad rap. You hear stories of people who worked so hard to get it, and it left them feeling unhappy.

If you spend it wisely, it can help you have better health, better relationships, and more time for the things that fill you up. Instead of making money the problem, make it work for you. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Gretchen Rubin where she talked about her research on happiness and money.

878 How to Build Life Changing Habits and Break Addiction with Dr. Jud Brewer
YOUR EGO NEEDS FEEDING. We all have addictions. Some of us know exactly what habits we need to break. Others don’t even realize we’re addicted to unhealthy patterns. Whether it’s smoking, relationships, or simply being addicted to ourselves, we could all benefit from mapping out our habits to begin to understand them. It’s important to foster our curiosity. If we can learn to investigate our minds the way we investigated our environment as children, we can begin to understand ourselves. Sometimes it’s our ego that we continue to feed. Other times it’s a false sense of reward we think we’re receiving from an old habit. Through mindfulness, we can learn to experience our habits as they are and not as we remember them. When we do this, we can begin breaking even our most challenging addictions. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, we discuss optimizing habits, breaking addictions, and transforming your life with one of the kindest addiction psychiatrists and mindfulness experts that I have ever met: Dr. Jud Brewer.

As an addiction psychiatrist and internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, Dr. Jud has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for habit change, including both in-person and app-based treatments for smoking, and emotional eating and anxiety. So get ready to learn how mindfulness can free you from addiction on Episode 878.
Some Questions I Ask:
What was the hardest addiction for you to overcome? (11:05)
What is the first thing people can do to self-assess themselves? (21:45)

FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR CLIENT. The world is full of people waiting to bring their incredible ideas to the marketplace.

871 Jocko Willink on Extreme Leadership and The Power of Self-Discipline
BE MILITARY MINDED. A lot of people think that leadership means having all the answers. Barking orders at your team, hoping they stay in line and obey. Pretending to know it all even when you don’t. True leadership is understanding human nature. What if leaders accepted responsibility for any mistakes made on their teams? We have to stop thinking of leadership as a destination. It is a journey where we listen, learn, and strategize with our teams, not for them. It’s not about ego; it’s about humility, balance, accountability, and execution. In today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the art of leadership with a retired Navy SEAL officer and a business consultant: Jocko Willink. Jocko Willink is a decorated retired Navy SEAL officer, author of the book ‘Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,’ and co-founder of Echelon Front, where he is a leadership instructor, speaker, and executive coach.

As commander of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the battle of Ramadi, he orchestrated SEAL operations that helped the “Ready First” Brigade of the U.S. Army’s First Armored Division bring stability to the violent, war-torn city. Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the Iraq War. Jocko returned from Iraq to serve as Officer-In-Charge of Training for all West Coast SEAL Teams. There he spearheaded the development of leadership training and personally instructed and mentored the next generation of SEAL leaders who have continued to perform with great success on the battlefield. In 2010, Jocko retired from the Navy and launched Echelon Front with Leif Babin, where he teaches the leadership principles he learned on the battlefield to help others lead and win.

867 Brotherhood of Emotions
WRESTLING WITH YOUR FEELINGS.
Being an elite athlete comes with rewards.
People who work hard and dedicate themselves to their craft deserve the fruits of their labor.
They train hard and make painful sacrifices to achieve their goals.
The money, the fans, the praise, and the accolades come with being the best in your field.
But what is the cost?
What have you sacrificed to achieve your dream?
Outside of your profession, are you able to deal with life and the challenges it presents?
If you sacrificed your emotions in the process, you’ll have to figure out a way to make yourself whole again.

Did you get angry and tense up? Or were you able to breathe and move through it? The more we work on our reaction when things go differently than we’d hoped, the happier we will be. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Dan Millman where he shared his definition of stress and the practice that helps him with it. Dan Millman is a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. After an intensive, twenty-year spiritual quest, Dan’s teaching found its form as the Peaceful Warrior’s Way. He has now written seventeen books. Learn how to move through life without tension in Episode 852.

851 Sophia Bush on Speaking Your Truth
YOU TEACH OTHERS HOW TO TREAT YOU. Often, we don’t like how people talk to us. Whether it’s at home, at work, or with our friends, there are many times where we don’t get the respect we desire. It feels terrible. But how much ownership do we take of those situations? Here’s the truth- you get what you put up with. Unless you’re willing to set boundaries and tell people what’s not ok, you’ll end up being walked over. If you keep showing up, people will assume that it isn’t that bad.

850 Tony Gonzalez: What it Takes to Become The Greatest of All Time
THE CRITICS ARE COMING. People understand that there will be challenges and fear when they chase their dreams. But they’re not willing to be embarrassed. Are you willing to look like a fool? To go all-in and fail? It’s a guarantee when you go after the thing you want. You have to keep putting your head out there knowing that it could get chopped off. The more you face your fears, the more self-confidence you’ll have. You will fall. You need to have the grit to use it as fuel to get back up. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about relentlessly pursuing your passion with one of the most successful football players in history: Tony Gonzalez.

849 Stay True To Your Purpose
DON’T GET DISTRACTED BY SHINY THINGS. It can be exciting to receive connections to the rich and powerful. Fancy dinners, galas, and White House dinners can be tempting. But if these things are keeping you from accomplishing what you set out to do, you’re better off without them. Money comes with strings. If the people pulling those strings don’t align with your message, that money has too great a cost. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Jacob Lief where he shared what has made his non-profit Ubuntu so successful. Jacob Lief is the Founder and CEO of Ubuntu Education Fund, a non-profit organization that takes vulnerable children living in the townships of Port Elizabeth, South Africa from cradle to career. Ubuntu's programs form an integrated system of medical, health, educational and social services, ensuring that a child who is either orphaned or vulnerable can, after several years, succeed.

848 The Soulful Art of Persuasion with Jason Harris
NEVER BE CLOSING. A lot of books about selling encourage you to act like someone you’re not. They tell you to say the other person’s name. Copy their body language. Become a salesman. But what if the key to selling is accepting who you are? What if everything weird about you is what will make you successful? Stop thinking of business as transactional. Instead, be generous.

845 Lindsey Stirling on Facing Loss, Dreaming Big, and Becoming a Superstar
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GREATER. There are two types of winners I’ve observed. Both of them have confidence. But one winner, when asked how they did it, answers, “I am the greatest.” The other winner, when asked how they did it, answers, “God is the greatest.” Are you putting pressure on yourself to succeed or fail? Or are you putting your strength in something greater? Whether or not you consider yourself a religious person, know that you are not going through life in a vacuum. You’re never on your journey alone. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about spirituality, loss, and dreaming big with one of the most inspirational performers on the planet: Lindsey Stirling.

844 Become a Self-Healer and Break Free of Emotional Cycles with Dr. Nicole LePera
FAMILY ISN’T EVERYTHING. How often have you heard phrases about putting family first? Most of us had a plaque on the wall growing up that said something similar. But if you’re letting family walk all over you, you’re doing a disservice to yourself. We get what we tolerate. If you don’t like something, but you tolerate it, you can’t expect people to change. So how do we have better relationships with our families? We have to create a request. And we have to keep our word. Telling people what you need doesn’t always feel good, but it’s necessary to take care of yourself. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about boundaries and reparenting yourself with an inspirational holistic psychologist: Dr. Nicole Lepera.

842 Building a Hospitality and Wellness Empire with Eugene Remm
PLAY MORE CHESS AND LESS CHECKERS. We always make fun of dogs chasing their tails. It’s funny to watch- they spin and spin and spin trying to catch the impossible. They eventually flop onto the ground exhausted. What’s the “tail” you are chasing? You probably think something will change when you finally catch that thing that is just out of reach, but the reality is that it probably won’t. I’ve accomplished so many goals that ultimately left me feeling empty. Stop spinning around reaching for things that won’t ultimately bring you happiness. Instead, focus on the process and the impact you have on others. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about figuring out what really matters with a King of New York hospitality: Eugene Remm.

WHAT TURNS YOUR CRANK? We often define ourselves by what job we do. I’m an accountant. I’m a teacher. I work in finance. But maybe we’re thinking about our careers in the wrong parameters. Instead of finding a job, we should be trying to find a way to feel excited and fulfilled every day. If you wake up with dread, you feel like you’re in a suit that’s too small, or you’re uninspired, you’re probably not in the right place. So how do we figure out what we’re meant to do?

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE YESTERDAY. We are all governed by fear. Even when good things happen, we’re afraid they will go away. Once you accept and welcome your fear, it won’t have control over you anymore. It’s about embracing the duality. You have to be ok with the best outcome and the worst outcome.

838 Marianne Williamson On Running for President and Standing for Love
BE A CONSCIOUS SAMARITAN. Most of us know the parable of The Good Samaritan. It tells the story of an injured man at the side of the road. The priest crosses to the other side and ignores the man in need of help. The Levite does the same. The Samaritan, though, stops and cares for the man. But let’s zoom out a bit. Is there something we could do on a more global scale so that less men are left injured and uncared for on the side of the road? People are living with chronic trauma. Every day is a struggle. If there is a way to help more people at once, we should be open to making those changes. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about caring for those who are in need with a 2020 candidate for President of the United States: Marianne Williamson. Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, activist and author of four #1 New York Times bestselling books.

NOTHING HAPPENS EASILY.
If you want to make real change in your life, you have to know it’s going to be uncomfortable.
Everything has its process.
You’re going to feel scared. You’re going to have growing pains. That’s part of being a human.
But your ability to make mistakes and still stay true to your goals will determine whether or not you make it.
You have to take it one step at a time.
You have to surround yourself with people who share your belief system.

Little by little, your self-confidence will grow, and you’ll be miles away from where you started.

836 The Secret of The Law of Attraction
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE. We all have greatness inside us. That’s the whole reason I started this podcast. So why do we make ourselves smaller to fit in with everyone else? Why do we hide? Why do we make excuses? Why do we let others dim our light? By denying our destiny, we create disease, conflict, and unhappiness. Shine your light. It’s not always easy. When you embrace your greatness, others will attack you. You’re challenging their “paradigm.” DO IT ANYWAYS. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve combined key lessons from Teachers of The Secret: Michael Beckwith, Lisa Nichols, Jack Canfield, John Assaraf, and Bob Proctor.

ENERGY FLOWS TO AND THROUGH YOU. We tend to minimize what we think we can accomplish. We put ourselves in a box. But we often think that other people can do what we can’t.

Let’s investigate all the ways your thoughts are holding you back from being happy, healthy, and wealthy.

824 Suffering vs. Satisfaction with Sam Harris, Part 2
THERE IS JUST CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS CONTENTS. When you’re dreaming, you don’t know that you’re asleep. You’re caught up in the dream. That’s how most of us go through life. We’re unaware that we’re not actually experiencing the things we are feeling. But you can break the spell in a moment with meditation. When you become present, you’re no longer asleep. It’s time to wake up. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I continue my conversation on meditation and mindfulness with one of the greatest thinkers of our time: Sam Harris.

The End of Faith won the 2005 PEN Award for Nonfiction. His writing and public lectures cover a wide range of topics—neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation practice, human violence, rationality—but generally focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.

ALMOST ALL OF YOUR SUFFERING COMES FROM YOUR THOUGHTS. We all get stuck in the past. We worry about the future. We’re full of anxiety. It can consume us.

Sam Harris is a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and creator of the Waking Up Course.

822 Optimism is a Superpower
LIFE IS GOOD.
Being an optimist instead of a pessimist is a choice.
You can wake up each day and focus on what’s wrong.
Or you can choose to be grateful.
Whatever you focus on grows.
So if you are spending your time on things that make you unhappy, they will take over.
But if you can cultivate gratitude, simplicity, and optimism, that’s what your life will become.
Choose happiness.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Bert Jacobs, founder of the Life is Good Company, where he shared a few of his ten Superpowers that are surprisingly simple and timeless.

The Jacobs brothers see simplicity, humility, and a sense of humor as the three keys to Life is good’s continued success.

819 Find Your Calculated Confidence
BECOME AN EXPERT. Confidence is so important. But you have to earn it. If you’re confident without putting in the work, it can come off as arrogance or even insecurity.

Once you’ve worked hard for your confidence, you’ll be able to look your clients in the eye knowing you’re an expert in your field.

817 How to Find Your Highest Potential with David Epstein
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THE BEST. So often we feel behind. Other people have already figured out what they want. Other people got started earlier. They’re sure of the path they’re on. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. I would have never thought I’d end up where I am now. My whole life I’ve been a generalist. I’ve never been the best at anything. There was always someone bigger, faster, and stronger. But I had heart and vision, and I was willing to work just as hard. This allowed me to collect a lot of different skills. Those skills, even though they seem random, make me successful on the path I’m on now. If you take your time and follow your inspiration, you’ll end up somewhere you couldn’t have even imagined. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about finding your perfect career path with an expert on fulfilling work: David Epstein. David Epstein is a New York Times bestselling author and a science and investigative reporter. He co-authored the story for Sports Illustrator that revealed Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez had used steroids. His writing has been honored by an array of organizations, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, to the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Center on Disability and Journalism, and has been included in the Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology. David gives example after example of people who had diverse backgrounds that seemed unrelated to the thing they ended up being famous for. He says that his most important projects are things he never could have planned. So get ready to learn why setting rigid long term goals may actually hold you back on Episode 817.

816 Plant Good Seeds
Harvest seeds of growth. Ending relationships is never easy. But it’s a part of life. Not all relationships last, but it’s how we end them that makes all the difference. You can use the opportunity to plant seeds that better your future, or you can plant bitter seeds that will bloom into hatred and rage. You make the decision. It is possible to consciously uncouple. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Katherine Woodward where she explained the best way to end a relationship. Katherine Woodward Thomas, M.A., MFT is the author of the New York Times Bestseller Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After, which was nominated for a Books for a Better Life Award, and the national bestseller, Calling in “The One:” 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life.

815 The Power of Storytelling
WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE MAGIC. Storytelling is an important part of everything you do. Whether you’re trying to sell something, speaking, or building relationships, you can’t ignore the power of story. It’s what causes us to have an emotional connection to something. Magic is an art form that uses storytelling. It’s not just about magic tricks. It’s about what you feel while you’re watching the trick. It’s about what the magician is telling you that changes your memory of the event. And it’s about how you take what you’re seeing and relate it to your story. How can you use the power of magic in your own life? On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve combined lessons about capturing your audience from some of the greatest magicians alive: Penn Jillette, Oz Perlman, Julius Dien, Derren Brown, and Lior Suchard. Derren Brown uses magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship to create series and specials on stage and television. He’s won two Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment and has also written books for magicians as well as the general public. Lior Suchard is considered to be the world’s greatest mentalist. His mind-blowing performances of thought influence, miraculous prediction and startling mind reading have made him the most sought after mentalist on the planet. He entertains audiences all over the world, which have brought him a list of fans stretching from A-list Hollywood celebrities to heads of state and notorious businessmen. Born and raised in London, Julius Dein has fast become one of the world’s most recognized social media stars. Mixing together mind-blowing magic with hilarious comedy and travel culture, Julius Dein has over 20 million followers across the internet. Oz Pearlman is a world-class entertainer and one of the busiest mentalists in the country. You might recognize him from America’s Got Talent where he placed third out of thousands of acts. Oz has also appeared on a variety of both national and international networks, a few of which include NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The TODAY Show & ABC World News and been profiled in Forbes, The New York Times, to name but a few. When he isn’t blowing the minds of audiences around the world, Oz is an avid marathon and ultra-marathon runner. Penn Jillette is a magician, actor, musician, inventor, television personality, and best-selling author best known for his work with fellow magician Teller as half of the team Penn & Teller. The duo has been featured in numerous stage and television shows such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, and are currently headlining in Las Vegas at The Rio. He has published eight books, including the New York Times Bestseller, God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales. All of these amazing magicians use the same tools to draw in their audience and capture their imaginations. It’s more than impressive tricks, flashing lights, or fancy outfits.

814 Penn Jillette: Building the Longest Running Act in Vegas
THE HARDEST THING TO DO WHEN YOU GET OLDER IS CHANGE A HABIT. There is a Buddhist metaphor of the elephant and the rider. We are all riding an elephant. We think that we are in control. We have the reigns. But the elephant could overpower us at any moment. No matter how much we use our minds, our emotions ultimately are more powerful. This applies to the way we eat. We become slaves to our cravings and desires. Sometimes it takes something big to get back in control of our “elephant.” On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about changing habits, being authentic, and what it takes to build the longest running act in Vegas with one of the world’s most famous magicians: Penn Jillette. Penn Jillette is a magician, actor, musician, inventor, television personality, and best-selling author best known for his work with fellow magician Teller as half of the team Penn & Teller. The duo has been featured in numerous stage and television shows such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, and are currently headlining in Las Vegas at The Rio. He has published eight books, including the New York Times Bestseller, God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales. Not many people can keep a marriage together for over forty years, let alone a working partnership. Penn is someone who shows up authentically every day. He isn’t afraid to express his thoughts and values even though they upset some people. So get ready to learn how to doubt yourself less and care about the things that matter on Episode 814.

813 Live Intentionally
WRITE YOUR STORY. Everyone has a story. You do. I do. Your life will be recorded. The question is, is your story the one that you want to be told? We often let other people write our pages instead of taking the pen and doing it ourselves. If you want your life to be a masterpiece, you’re going to have to live intentionally. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with John Maxwell where he shared the gift that inspired him to live an intentional life. John C. Maxwell is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has sold more than 25 million books in fifty languages. In 2014 he was identified as the #1 leader in business by the American Management Association and the most influential leadership expert in the world by Business Insider and Inc. magazine. The recipient of the Mother Teresa Prize for Global Peace and Leadership from the Luminary Leadership Network, Dr. Maxwell speaks each year to Fortune 500 companies, presidents of nations, and many of the world's top business leaders. John says that in order to live intentionally, you have to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. You have to take your good intentions and act them out.

812 Calm Your Mind and Master Meditation
MEDITATION WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. A lot of us are suffering, and we don’t even realize it. We’re always on the move. We’re always doing. We’re balancing so many responsibilities. We don’t take time to quiet our minds so that we can start to understand what’s going on up there. That’s why meditation is so powerful. It allows you to get to the root of your problems instead of constantly fixing the symptoms. It’s like flossing your brain. Meditation will get all “gunk” out. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve combined interviews with experts on meditation: Jay Shetty, Preethaji, Krishnaji, Dan Harris, and Andy Puddacomb. Jay Shetty is a former monk who was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2017 for being a game-changer and influencer in the world of Media. Jay’s daily show HuffPost Live #FollowTheReader, where he interviewed the likes of Russell Brand, Tim Ferriss and Deepak Chopra reached 1 million people daily. Jay aims to share knowledge at the pace we want entertainment, something he likes to call “making wisdom go viral.” He has created content for and partnered with Snapchat, Facebook, National Geographic, Nasdaq and HuffPost to name a few. Preethaji is a modern day Indian philosopher and sage who has co-founded along with her husband Krishnaji the O&O Academy (school to revolutionize and transform human thought), World Youth Change Makers (an elite community of youth redirecting the future of the world through a revolution in consciousness), and One Humanity Care (a Foundation working with the vision to uplift 10,000 villages in India). Dan Harris is correspondent for ABC News, an anchor for Nightline and co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good Morning America. Harris encourages the use of meditation, and his "10% Happier" podcasts are interviews with other meditators. Harris' book, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Really Works – a True Story, was published in March 2014. Andy Puddicombe is a meditation and mindfulness expert. An accomplished presenter and writer, Andy is the voice of all things Headspace. In his early twenties, midway through a university degree in Sports Science, Andy made the unexpected decision to travel to The Himalayas to study meditation instead. These masters explain the importance of meditation, the common misconceptions, and the science behind it all. It’s a lot more straightforward than you might think. So get ready to learn all about meditation on Episode 812.

811 Find Lasting Love with Matthew Hussey
BUILD YOUR CASTLE. Love at first sight is bullshit. A relationship is like a castle. You find a plot of land that has a lot of potential. Then, bit by bit, you build the castle. But it takes work from both of you. One person can’t be laying the bricks while the other is home watching TV. After lots of hard work, you’ll have something unique and ornate that belongs to you. You’ll have a castle. That’s love. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the key to lasting relationships with an international guru of the dating and relationship-coaching scene: Matthew Hussey. Matthew Hussey is a speaker, New York Times Bestselling author, columnist for Cosmopolitan Magazine, and dating expert on ABC’s digital series What To Text Him Back. His corporate clients include Hugo Boss, The Perfume Shop, Virgin Gyms, Procter & Gamble, Bare Escentuals, U.S. legal giant Weil Gotshal & Manges, and global management consultants Accenture. 50,000 women have attended his live events and he has reached over 10 million online. Matthew says that the “activation energy” for starting relationships is lower than ever. This causes ghosting. People are less invested in relationships. But there are ways you can meet people indirectly.
So get ready to learn the three things you need to build a great relationship on Episode 811.
Some Questions I Ask:
Do people even want to have a committed, long term relationship? (19:00)

810 Lead with Love
COMMUNICATE YOUR VISION. Being an effective leader is difficult. Some do it through fear. Some do it through understanding. And others lead with love. You could be super demanding and scary and get what you want. But is that the kind of life you want to lead? Probably not. Often, leading in a way where you understand other people’s concerns will be the most beneficial to you. There’s a lot you can learn from others. Ask yourself: how can you bring people together in a way that satisfies their needs as well as your own? For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the legendary director Jon Chu where he shared how he communicates his vision on set. Jon Chu directed the films Crazy Rich Asians, Step Up 2: The Streets, Step Up 3D, and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Jon graduated from the USC School of Cinema-Television where he won the Princess Grace Award, the Dore Schary Award presented by the Anti-Defamation League, the Jack Nicholson directing award, and was recognized as an honoree for the IFP/West program Project: Involve.

809 The Power of Minimalism
THE LESS YOU DO THE MORE YOU CAN RECEIVE. Take a moment to explore your habits. Do you glance at your phone during every free moment? Do you fill up your calendar with things that don’t add value? Do you spend your day working on a job that has no meaning for you? If so, your life is cluttered. Not just with stuff, but with noise. Quieting down and clearing out our schedule can be scary because it means you may have the space to face some tough questions. But when you do, you’ll find you’re able to live a much more intentional life. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I explore minimalism with five experts on the subject: Cal Newport, Jesse Itzler, Joshua Fields Millburn, Rich Roll, and Chris Guillebeau. Cal Newport is a computer science professor at Georgetown University. In addition to academic research, he writes about the intersection of technology and society. He’s particularly interested in the impact of new technologies on our ability to perform productive work or lead satisfying lives. Jesse Itzler is an ultramarathon runner who is also a bestselling author, award-winning rapper, and an original partner for ZICO coconut water. He is the co-founder of Marquis Jets and a co-owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. Joshua Fields Millburn is the co-founder of The Minimalists, which has become a hugely popular podcast and lifestyle in the past few years. Joshua and his co-host help more than 20 million people live meaningful lives with less through their website, books, podcast, and films. The Minimalists have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Forbes, and more. They have spoken at Harvard, Apple, and Google. Their documentary was recently released by Netflix. Rich Roll is a graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, accomplished vegan ultra-endurance athlete and former entertainment attorney turned full-time wellness & plant-based nutrition advocate, popular public speaker, and inspiration to people worldwide as a transformative example of courage and healthy living. Rich became a #1 bestselling author with the publication of his inspirational memoir Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself. Taking up where the book leaves off, in 2013 Rich launched the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast. Chris Guillebeau is a NY Times Best Selling Author, speaker, a modern day explorer, and has been to nearly every country in the world. He is best known for The Art of Non-Conformity blog and book. He has also written guides for travel and small business topics under the brand Unconventional Guides. He organizes the annual World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon. These five incredible teachers all have a practice of minimalism. I’ve combined key lessons from interviews with them to create a masterclass on doing less so that we can ultimately do more.

808 Rich Froning: Becoming The World’s Greatest
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WIN? We can have our eyes on the prize. We can work every day to accomplish our goal. We can sacrifice and suffer to be the best. But at the end of the day, you can’t define yourself by whether or not you get “first place.” If your identity depends on one thing, you’re bound to fail. You have to free yourself from tying your worth to winning. When you do, you just might see some amazing results. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about faith, family and CrossFit with the “Fittest Man On Earth:” Rich Froning. Rich Froning is a CrossFit athlete known for his achievements participating in the CrossFit Games. He became the first person to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" four times and has led team CrossFit Mayhem Freedom to the first-place finish three times. Froning owns and operates the affiliate gym CrossFit Mayhem, located in Cookeville, Tennessee, and is a member of the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff.

806 How to Become a Full Time Influencer with Brendon Burchard, Part 2
BE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SHIP. As influencers, we don’t always accept that we are in control of our business. We depend on agents, our audience, or even chance to make decisions for us.

804 The Power of Why

You have to believe in your vision.
We all get caught up in limiting beliefs. The sooner you understand what holds you back and why the sooner you can achieve flow.

It all comes back to your “why.” For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Lisa Messenger where she shared how she connects to her purpose in order to stay focused on the bigger picture. Lisa is an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption in both the corporate sector and the start-up scene.

You have to care about the little details that other people let slide. And you have to have deep, unshakable confidence. A lot of what separates a player from a champion is mental.

A lot of times when we think about growth, we think small.

Other people may not understand, but you can’t get knocked off course. If you’re destined for greatness, you shouldn’t settle for anything less.

801 Don't Let Your Past Define You
Knowledge is not enough. We can know what we’re doing isn’t good for us in the long run. We can know that we have weaknesses in certain areas. We can know that we have stored up pain and anxiety.

QUESTION WHAT YOU’RE BELIEVING.

799 Wim Hof: Master Your Body and Heal the Mind
RELAX.
How often do you say, “I’m just going to get through the day.” You’re running on adrenaline. But it’s not sustainable. If you’re not relaxed, you’re not breathing. If you’re not breathing, you’re not getting oxygen. It’s a loop. You’re going to be exhausted all the time.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the power of breathing to heal our mind and body with a man known as “The Iceman:” Wim Hof. Wim Hof got his nickname “The Iceman” by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure.

He developed the Wim Hof Method: a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind. He says that our brains have the power to guarantee us happiness, strength, and health.

798 Spend With Joy with Ramit Sethi
SPEND ON THE THINGS YOU LOVE.
We all have an area of life we love spending money on. For me, it’s relationships. For you, it could be travel, food, wellness or something else. This is called your “money dial.” Once you figure out your money dial, you can spend intentionally on that rather than spending lots of money on everything. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Ramit Sethi where he shared about his concept of “money dials” and how to spend money on the things that bring you joy. Ramit says that we should cut back spending on things we don’t care about but spend without apology on the area that makes us the happiest.

788 Take Your Power Back with Amanda Nguyen
YOUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL IS YOUR VOICE.
We are surrounded by stories of injustice around us.
It can be overwhelming.
Screaming with anger doesn’t get you very far.
Making the other side wrong just makes a war.
So how can you make a change?
You have to come from a place of compassion. Know the result that you want. Stop leading with emotion and try instead to focus on the concrete change you want to make.
We live in a democracy- our voice counts.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I discuss how the legislative system works with a powerful sexual assault advocate: Amanda Nguyen.
Amanda Nguyen is the founder and CEO of Rise, a non-governmental civil rights organization. She was the power behind the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act, one of 23 bills to pass unanimously through US Congress. She was in Forbes' 2017 "30 Under 30" Law & Policy list and was an invited speaker at the 2017 Women's March on Washington. In 2018, California representatives Mimi Walters and Zoe Lofgren nominated Nguyen for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.

787 The Secrets of Millionaires with Dean Graziosi
ENTHUSIASM AND AUTHENTICITY.
You don’t have to be the smartest in the room.
You don’t have to have the most experience, the most charisma, or the best education.
These obstacles won’t keep you from your goals.
You just need to show up and keep showing up. Persistence is more important than anything else.
I have dyslexia and was never very good in school. But if I had told myself I wasn’t smart enough to be successful, I would never be where I am today.
Keep knocking on those doors.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the power of persistence from one of the most successful men on TV: Dean Graziosi.

784 Maisie Williams: Be Your Own Hero
HOW DO YOU TALK TO YOURSELF?
The relationship you have with yourself is the most important.
If you’re constantly putting yourself down and judging yourself, eventually you’re going to self-destruct.
It’s common to self-sabotage when things are going well. It can happen to anyone- it doesn’t matter how successful you are.
We feel anxious. We feel like a fraud. We might even feel like we don’t deserve it.
But once you get to the root of those feelings, you can heal the judgments you have of yourself.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with one of the biggest television stars on the planet about anxiety: Maisie Williams.

783 A Lesson on Self Worth with Humble The Poet
A BROKEN HEART IS AN INJURY.
A butterfly doesn’t begin as a butterfly.
It has to struggle to get out of the cocoon.

Its beauty comes from its struggle.

782 Sex and Love, Lust and Infidelity with Wednesday Martin
IT'S TIME TO PUT THESE SEX MYTHS TO BED.
Having a healthy sexual relationship is important.
But it’s not something we often talk about.
Women’s satisfaction especially seems to take a back seat.
So how can women get what they need in the bedroom?
As men, we can ask questions.
See what your partner is into.
And understanding the science behind why women like the things they do are helpful, too.
The truth is a lot of what we believe about female sexuality is wrong. We all benefit when women’s sexuality takes the forefront and is better understood.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about female satisfaction with an incredible woman who wrote a book on the subject: Wednesday Martin.
Wednesday Martin is a feminist cultural critic, New York Times Bestselling author, and social researcher. Wednesday has written on topics including gender, parenting and motherhood, popular culture, and female sexuality for The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, and Harper's Bazaar, among others. She was a regular contributor to The Daily Telegraph, the online edition of Psychology Today, and the parenting pages at the New York Post. Wednesday has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, NPR, NBC News, the BBC Newshour, and Fox News as a step/parenting expert.
Wednesday says that we should avoid “service sex” where you’re only performing to make your partner happy. You need to know that your needs deserve to be met, too, and they can be with a little work from both partners.
So get ready to learn about the science of monogamy and how to keep your relationship exciting on Episode 782.

781 Topher Grace: Make Your Opportunity and Multiply It

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about making the most of opportunities and learning how to listen with one of the most successful actors of our time: Topher Grace.

780 Help Others and Yourself with Will MacAskill
DO GOOD ALL THE TIME.
Some people have an idea of giving that is not sustainable.
You can’t self-sacrifice endlessly to help others. You also have to take care of yourself.

For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Will Macaskill where he shared this idea as one of his principles of effective altruism.

IT' ALL ABOUT THE HUSTLE.
What gatekeepers are holding you back from doing what you love?
I’m inspired by the creators on YouTube.

She's been around for more than a decade, first popping up on YouTube in 2006 where she has accumulated millions of subscribers and fans.

THERE IS ORDER TO THE CHAOS.
What is this place?
Are we even really here?

There is suffering happening all over the world. We all can do something.

Scott Harrison was working as a nightclub promoter in New York when he became “morally bankrupt.” He sold all of his belongings and set sail to Africa in an effort to redeem himself. He returned to New York with one goal: to provide clean water to everyone on earth.
Twelve years later, he’s raised over 320 million dollars and provided water to people in 26 countries with his nonprofit charity: water.

772 How to Live a Long Life with Dr. Steven Gundry
DIE YOUNG AT AN OLD AGE.
How many fad diets have you tried?
There’s a reason that they don’t work.
Health and diet are not one-size-fits-all. We all have a special set of genes that tell us what foods we need.
But it’s more than your genes.
Doctor’s will ask you if you have a history of a disease in your family. That’s because you not only share the same genetic make-up, you probably eat the same way.
It’s a combination of the two that will determine your health.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the secret to longevity with one of the world’s top health experts: Dr. Steven Grundy.

Very few of us have the courage to be alone.
When we are quiet and don’t distract ourselves, we have to face hard questions.

767 Greg Louganis: Silence the Haters
VALIDATION IS REDUNDANT.
As many of you know, I didn’t have friends growing up. I couldn’t read and write until late high school. I was goofy and gangly. I got made fun of all the time.
Sports was something I could finally understand.
I was able to prove myself by what I could accomplish on the field.
But then I placed my self worth in what I could achieve in football. If I lost a game, I felt terrible. If I won, I felt great.
It was so unhealthy.
We need to be careful where we get our self-worth.
Instead of earning it through outside validation, we should get it from the kindness in our heart, the positivity that we bring, and who you are.
Learn to have unconditional love for yourself.

IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK.
So often we feel like we have to mask what we are going through.
We hide our fears.
We cover our scars.
But the adversity you face makes you a stronger person.
You’re not the only one who is battling something. The more vulnerable you can be about what you’re up against, the more other people will be able to support you. It’s going to take a team effort.

763 A Spiritual Path for Success with Erwin McManus
“WHY” IS NOT AN EVOLUTIONARY QUESTION.
Growing up, I had more imaginary friends than real friends.
I would play games with myself to keep myself happy. I was very lonely.
I felt insecure.
But as I got older, I was able to find meaning and purpose. That allowed me to feel connected to the people around me.
We need to have hope and meaning. It’s what makes us human.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into why humans are always searching for a “why:” Erwin McManus.
Erwin is an iconoclast, artist, and cultural thought leader known for his integration of creativity and spirituality. He is the founder and Lead Pastor of Mosaic, a Los Angeles based church of faith recognized as one of America’s most influential and innovative churches.

762 The Battle between Confidence and Humility with Brad Lomenick
THERE'S A BIGGER STORY.
When I started my book tour, people were always asking me, “How are you going to stay humble?”

YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE.
So many of us hide who we truly are.
We bury our shame thinking that if anyone knew we would no longer be accepted.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about shame with a person of great courage and integrity: Terry Crews.

It’s not that you should blame your parents. They did the best they could.
But you should be aware of how your current actions reflect the truths you learned growing up.
Growing up, my parents were raising four kids and working multiple jobs. I always felt invisible.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE OUR GREATEST TEACHER.
It’s Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, it’s a good time to reflect.

745 Defining Masculinity and Its Power with Jason Wilson
EMOTIONS ARE GREAT SERVANTS, BUT POOR MASTERS.
So many men are hurting, and then hurting others.
People don’t want to hear that.
But men feel like they’re emotional prisoners.
They are committing suicide at much higher rates. They are the ones performing mass shootings. They are reacting in violence.
We have to allow men ways to process their past and to express their emotions in order to become the people they are meant to be.
It’s not important to “be a man,” it’s important to be human.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the definition of masculinity with a man whose mission is to mentor boys: Jason Wilson.
Detroit’s Jason Wilson is a husband and father of two, and the founder and head instructor of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy, also known as CATTA. In 2015, he received the Campaign for Black Male Achievement Innovation Accelerator Award. In 2016, Wilson received the President's Volunteer Service Award in Washington D.C.
Wilson has also been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show where he discussed his Emotional Stability Training® approach. In 2016, Wilson was a presenter at the White House for the My Brother's Keeper Showcase presented by then-President Barack Obama.

742 Ben Shapiro: Problem-Solving in Life and Business
DON'T LET "POTENTIAL" BE WRITTEN ON YOUR TOMBSTONE.
About ten years ago when I was playing professional football, I got injured.
I ended up on my sister’s couch.
I felt bad for myself and thought that there should be a way for people like me to get help.
Then I realized- what if I could solve this problem?

One of the reasons I don’t follow politics is because I want to focus on overcoming our own challenges.

741 How to Be a True Billionaire with Jason Silva
POSITIVELY IMPACT THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
If you were to ask my grandfather what a billionaire is, he would tell you it’s someone with a billion dollars. Today, that definition has changed - even by Forbes standard.

735 Stop Overthinking and Start Doing with Gunnar Lovelace
DON'T LET PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF GOOD.
We can talk ourselves out of almost anything.
“I’m not good enough.”
“I’m not ready.”
“I don’t have all the skills.”
But what if you just took the plunge? What if you risked things not being “perfect” and put yourself out there?
You might fail, but you’ll learn a lot more than if you had never shown your project to the world.
It’s like I always say- the biggest risk takers are the most interesting.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the entrepreneur Gunnar Lovelace who is passionate about telling people that it’s ok to make mistakes.
Growing up poor with a single mom left Gunnar with a burning desire to create wealth to do good. As a result, he is a five-time serial entrepreneur focused on social impact at scale (people, planet + profit). Gunnar is the founder and CSO of Thrive Market, which offers organic groceries online at wholesale prices nationally. It has raised $200 million and grown to seven million users and 700 employees in three years.
Gunnar shares that part of the reason he is so successful is that he didn’t know everything when he started. He says that you need to get in the driver’s seat instead of overthinking.

731 Mindset of Becoming World Champion with Sasha Digiulian
“PASSION IS THE NUMBER ONE INGREDIENT TO SUCCEEDING IN ANYTHING.”
Are you governed by fear?
If so, it’s time to figure out if what you’re scared of is real or imaginary.
What if there really isn’t anything to be afraid of?
You might have some setbacks or “fall,” but at the end of the day you’ll be fine.
In the face of stress, you can get overwhelmed by negative emotions, or you can look forward. You can instead focus on the task ahead.
It’s all about your mindset.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about fear with a champion climber who has learned to be mental tough by constantly pushing her limits: Sasha Digiulian.
Sasha Digiulian first began climbing at 6 years old, in 1998. She has won the World Championships for Female Overall and has placed Silver in the Bouldering World Championships, as well as Bronze in the Duel. Sasha has been the undefeated Panamerican Champion 2004 to the present, and she is a three-time US National Champion.
Outdoors, Sasha is the first North American woman to climb the grade 9a, 5.14d, recognized as one of the hardest sport climbs achieved by a female. She has done two. Sasha was the third woman in the world to accomplish this grade. Additionally, she has onsighted multiple 8b+’s, 5.14a’s, ascended groundbreaking multi-pitch routes of up to 1000 feet of 8c climbing, and has accomplished multiple First Ascents and 28 First Female Ascents around the world, including a First Female Ascent on the North Face of the Eiger.
Sasha has learned to trust the process and the universe in order to quiet her anxiety.
She says that the only way to get up a mountain is to think positively. She’ll find herself saying, “Just go, just go, just go” when she’s in a tough spot.

729 Investing In Your Future with Brendon Burchard
IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW.
You know how people always say, “There’s power in your peer group?”
That’s only half the story.
Sometimes you have to buy your way into growth.
There are plenty of successful people who want to help you. You just have to create an environment where they can. Sometimes, you have to pay for the knowledge and connections of the leaders in your field.
It’s the same way you set yourself up for success with fitness, with education, and with goal-setting: you invest in learning.
For this Five Minute Friday, the incredible Brendon Burchard shares why investing in a Mastermind is the way to get to the next level.
Brendon Burchard is a New York Times bestselling author whose books include The Motivation Manifesto, The Charge, Life’s Golden Ticket, and The Millionaire Messenger. He was on the cover of SUCCESS magazine in October 2017 and is included in Oprah’s Super Soul 100.

728 The Power of Masterminds
ACCELERATE YOUR LEARNING CURVE.
Are you taking advantage of the knowledge of the smartest people in your field?
If not, you are denying yourself an abundance of information.
You need consistent accountability at the highest level.
You need inspiration from inspiring peers.
And you need to be a part of something that is coaching you to play bigger.
Some might call it an accountability group. In the business industry, we call these groups “Masterminds.” It’s a dynamic that you miss out on when you only do one-on-one coaching.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I do a special solo episode where I explain how joining a Mastermind group has changed my life and how it can change yours.
“You need to constantly clear your mind and be open to new opportunities.” - Lewis Howes
I coach my own group called the Greatness Mastermind. If you’re making seven figures, you eligible to join.
You don’t want to join a group that will keep you at the same level or where you’re the smartest person in the room.
You have to be inspired by the community of people you join.
So get ready to learn all about getting access to influential people by joining a Mastermind on Episode 728.

727 Business Growth and Raising Money with Matt Higgins
STOP PLAYING SMALL.
So often we are afraid to go all in.
Whether it’s in a relationship, in business, or in an investment, the fear of failure keeps us from fully committing. What a mistake.
I’ve had to learn to love failure.
I have to consciously tell my brain, “You’re going to fail. And it’s going to be ok.”
Take the leap. Make the commitment. Dare to take a stand.
If we’re not failing, we are staying too safe. And you won’t grow unless you are constantly making yourself uncomfortable.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into the idea of going all in when the time is right with one of the most successful investors in the world: Matt Higgins.
Matt Higgins is a proven operator, investor and business builder with a knack for helping founders at pivotal growth moments achieve breakout success. He serves as CEO of RSE Ventures, a private firm that incubates and invests in companies across sports and entertainment, food and lifestyle, media and marketing, and technology.

Together Higgins and Ross have helped build enterprises from scratch, including the largest privately owned soccer tournament in the world (International Champions Cup) and leading brand strategy and communications agency Derris.
Matt didn’t graduate from high school. He came from a humble beginning but never let that hold him back from getting where he is today.
He says that when you do things your own way and you start with a blank page, it’s going to be a lonely journey. You have to trust yourself and be careful about the advice that you take.
So get ready to learn what makes Matt a great investor and why certain businesses are winners on Episode 727.

TRANSFORMATION IS A ROLLER COASTER.

It’s a time of year where we focus on giving.
We give gifts, we give back to our communities, and we give to charities.
So what does it mean to give?
And why is it important?
Giving is not just a nice thing to do, it’s critical to your wellbeing. We are all connected- the more you give to others, the more you help yourself.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited an amazing conversation I had with Russell Simons where he shared how the practice of giving has made him incredibly prosperous.
Russell Simmons is an American entrepreneur, record producer, yogi, and author. He co-founded Def Jam Recordings and created the fashion lines Phat Farm, Argyleculture, and Tantris. He is also the founder of Rush Communications.
Russell is one of the richest men in Hip Hop, but he didn’t get there by hoarding all of his wealth.
He’s learned that the more he makes the world better, the more his own world is improved.
He makes the point that good givers are great getters, but you have to give fully without the expectation that it will benefit you.
Learn more about Russell Simmons background and why his practice of philanthropy is key to his success in Episode 723.

722 Mindset and Persuasion with Derren Brown
WHAT STORY ARE YOU TELLING YOURSELF?
Whatever it is, you’re creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You’re projecting your story onto everyone around you without even realizing it.
That’s why mentalists are so successful- they suggest a story to you that you accept as true.
Whatever your way of thinking, it doesn’t have to stay that way.
You can be free of your own story.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with someone who changed his own way of thinking to become an incredible illusionist and mentalist: Derren Brown.
Derren Brown uses magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship to
create series and specials on stage and television. He’s won two Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment and has also written books for magicians as well as the general public.
He doesn’t use his skills to deceive others for his own benefit. Instead, his acts are often designed to expose the methods of faith healers and mediums.

717 Love Yourself Authentically with Lindsey Stirling
YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL CAN HURT YOU INSTEAD OF HELP YOU.

708 How to Break Your Addiction with Jack Canfield
SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS.
In football, we had systems for exercise, nutrition, plays, and practice.
If the system worked, we won championships.
The same works for addiction.
You have to have a system in place to help you overcome it.
You can’t just hope that you’ll make the right decision when you’re faced with it.
It all starts in the morning. Meditation, gratitude, and breathing can help you get in the right mindset.
Program your day.
We all have addictions we want to end. That’s why I’m sharing some key points from a conversation I had with the co-author of the book The 30-Day Sobriety Solution: How to Cut Back or Quit Drinking in the Privacy of Your Own Home: Jack Canfield.
Jack Canfield is an award-winning speaker and an internationally recognized leader in personal development and peak performance strategies. He is the creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and author of over 150 books. In 2014, SUCCESS magazine named him “One of the Most Influential Leaders in Personal Growth and Achievement.”

707 How Champions Win
FIND THE WINNING BALANCE.
You hear so often that people get to the top of the mountain and realize that the summit isn’t the answer.
To be a champion, you have to know that there is so much more to success than a final outcome.
If you focus on the goal without being connected to your joy and larger purpose, you will get burnt out.
But when you’re coming from a place of passion, the results will fall into place.
To explore this topic further, I gathered parts of conversations with four world-class champions who’ve visited The School of Greatness in the past: Julianne Hough, Ray Lewis, Shawn Johnson, and Novak Djokovic.
Julianne Hough is a two-time winner of ABC’s Dancing with Stars and now sits as a judge on the show. She’s one an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography and has appeared in many movies and TV productions like Footloose (2011) and Grease Live on Fox.
Ray Lewis is a former NFL linebacker. He is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl MVP and played his entire 17-year career with the Baltimore Ravens.
Shawn Johnson is a gymnast who won a gold medal in the 2008 Olympics for balance beam and a silver medal in floor exercise and all-around. She’s also a five-time Pan American Games gold medalist.
Novak Djokovic is a Serbian tennis player is currently ranked third in men’s singles. He’s won 14 Grand Slam singles titles and four Wimbledon titles among many more.
These athletes have achieved the immense success in their fields and have all realized that being the best is not enough of an end goal to give them purpose.
So learn how these champions get in the mindset to win on Episode 707.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
Why being content won’t ruin your drive (10:30)
What Ray Lewis learned from joining ESPN (13:40)
Why Ray Lewis thinks he was able to play football for so long (14:10)

706 Embracing Death, Making Music, and Finding Purpose with Mike Posner
WORK ON YOURSELF FIRST, THEN SHARE YOUR LIGHT.
Every athlete needs an offseason.
They need time to train in different ways to strengthen their mind and body for a new year.
The more you work on yourself, the more you’ll be able to give.
Give your mind, your heart, and your soul the nurturing it needs to grow.
That’s why I was so excited to speak with an artist who is on a journey to find inner peace in order to share his gifts: Mike Posner.
Mike Posner is a singer-songwriter, poet, and record producer. Mike has co-written amazing hit songs like “Sugar” by Maroon 5, “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber, and “Beneath Your Beautiful” by Labrinth.

705 The Power of Meditation with Dan Harris
MEDITATION WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Why do we set aside time to take care of our bodies, but not our minds?
You need to work out your mental health just as often as you work out your physical health.
Meditation is basically a bicep curl for your brain.
When you meditate, you’re training your brain to come back to the present moment over and over again.
It’s scientifically proven to alter your brain waves.
That’s why I’m revisiting a conversation I had with someone whose life was changed by meditation: Dan Harris.
Dan Harris is a correspondent for ABC News, an anchor for Nightline and co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good Morning America.
He is a New York Times bestselling author who wrote 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book.
Dan found meditation after suffering an on-air panic attack. Now he works to make meditation accessible for everyone.

704 The Power of Building Influential Relationships
YOUR CONNECTIONS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE.
The biggest challenge I see is that most people don’t have support groups.
You will not get to where you want to go without the help of those who know more than you.
Find people who won’t just take from you.
Find people who will help you build your dreams.
That’s why, for this episode of School of Greatness, I put together a networking mashup. Here are three excerpts from previous interviews with three people whose careers have been made through networking: Keith Ferrazzi, Bozoma Saint John, and Scooter Braun.
Keith Ferrazzi is a two-time NYT bestselling author including Never Eat Alone, which has become a staple among networking books. His firm coaches the very top companies and individuals in how to practice vulnerability and emotional intelligence to create and develop powerful relationships.
Bozama Saint John is the marketing mastermind behind brands such as Pepsi and Beats by Dre. She is currently the Chief Marketing Officer at Endeavor after leaving Uber in June of 2018. She grew up in Africa, went to an ivy-league school, and has overcome a lot in her life.
Scooter Braun is a talent manager, investor, and philanthropist who represent artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Kanye West and more. At the age of 20 he became an agent. In 2013, he was on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. Scooter co-organized the March for Our Lives, the demonstration for stricter gun laws, in 2018.
These three people know that relationships are the key to success.
You don’t have to do everything on your own.
Don’t let fear of asking for help hold you back from networking and accomplishing your goals. Learn how relationships can help you get where you want to go on Episode 704.

703 What We Need Most to Change the World with Dr. Alaa Murabit
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE.
For my whole life, everything has been a competition.
You either win, or you lose.
I wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt people, but I wanted to be a winner.
It wasn’t until I was 30 years old that I learned a better way to live: win/win.
It transformed my life. I started looking for ways that I could succeed while allowing the people around me to succeed, too.
At the end of the day, we’re all in this together.
The idea of creating win/win situations has been mastered by my guest on today’s episode: Dr. Alaa Murabit.
Dr. Alaa Murabit attended medical school at the age of 15 and was named one of Forbes 30 under 30, an Aspen Institute Spotlight Scholar, and one of Canada’s 30x30.
She is one of the UN’s 17 Global Sustainable Development Goal Advocates and a UN High-Level Commissioner on Health Employment & Economic Growth. She was recently appointed the Executive Director of Phase Minus 1, LLC which provides leadership in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and more.
Dr. Murabit champions women's participation in peace processes and conflict mediation.
She approaches conflict in a way that humanizes both sides: by first finding common ground.

It’s good for the economy, it’s good for the government, and it’s even good for the environment.
Learn how Dr. Murabit mediates the most difficult scenarios and helps women obtain an education, reproductive rights, and health in Episode 703.

702 Change Your Mind about Failure with Gary Vaynerchuk
“ANYTHING CAN BE TAUGHT, BUT YOU CAN ONLY GO SO FAR WITHOUT NATURAL TALENT.”
Everyone thinks they can be a great entrepreneur.
But is that what you’re best at?
If a rabbit is trying hard to be a frog, it may make a decent frog. But it would be a much better rabbit.
To be successful, you have to combine your natural talent with hard work.
Even the most dedicated football player can’t make it to the NFL without innate skill.
That’s why I’m revisiting a conversation I had with a person who was born to be an entrepreneur and who has spent his life pursuing it: the legendary Gary Vaynerchuck.
Gary Vaynerchuck is CEO of the full-service advertising agency VaynerMedia and is a venture capitalist who has invested in companies like Snapchat, Birchbox, Venmo, and Uber. He’s a 5-time New York Times bestselling author and a sought-after public speaker.
Gary makes the argument just putting in the time and energy it might not be enough to make a successful business.

701 Success Habits: The Proven Way to Achieve Your Dreams with James Clear
HABITS ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR MASTERY.
When I lived in Columbus, I knew that I wanted to make a lot of money.
So I took my TV out of my apartment.
If I wanted to watch a game, I went to a sports bar. If I wanted a break, I would go to the movies.
I changed my environment to help me reach my goals.
Habits will only work if you create a world that makes them easy.
If you have a pinched water hose and you want more water to come out, you can either create more water pressure or straighten the hose. Which one do you think is easier?
Habits will make or break you. That’s why I really enjoyed talking with my guest today who is an expert on habits: James Clear.
James Clear is an author, photographer, and entrepreneur. He writes about habits by combining scientific research (the why) with practical application (the how).
James tells us that our habits are influenced by our tribe and our environment.
He says the people who seem like they have the most self-control are the least tempted.

700 Scott Harrison: Live with Purpose or You’ll Live with Regret
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WORK THAT HAS NO END.
A life of ego is so unfulfilling.
We can get caught up in the comparison game: who has the most money, the bigger house, the best car. It’s never-ending.
At the end of the day, what kind of legacy does that leave?
If we can have a cause that is greater than ourselves, we can find purpose.
That’s why I’m so excited to share the powerful story of a nightclub promoter turned philanthropist: Scott Harrison.
Scott Harrison was working as a nightclub promoter in New York when he became “morally bankrupt.”
He sold all of his belongings and set sail to Africa in an effort to redeem himself. He returned to New York with one goal: to provide clean water to everyone on earth.
Twelve years later, he’s raised over 320 million dollars and provided water to people in 26 countries with his nonprofit charity: water.
Scott now finds worth in how much money he can raise for others, not for himself.
Listen to Episode 700 to learn what makes a nonprofit successful and how anyone can turn their life around find meaning and fulfillment.

699 Stop Being Comfortable with Jesse Itzler
When you feel like you’ve reached your limit, you’re only 40% there.
How often do you listen to your body when it says, “I’m done?”
We get tired, our muscles get sore, so we throw in the towel.
We’re wired to stop every time we start to feel pain.
But if we ignore that, we can push ourselves to a new limit.
Unless you get uncomfortable, you won’t know what you’re really capable of.
That’s why I’m excited to revisit a conversation I had with a new friend who is always pushing himself to the next level: Jesse Itzler.
Jesse is ultramarathon runner who is also a bestselling author, award-winning rapper, and an original partner for ZICO coconut water. He is the co-founder of Marquis Jets and a co-owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
Jesse was able to take on everything in his life by putting himself first.
Like Jesse says in this episode, “So much of business is a reflection of you, and so many of us don’t invest in ourselves.”
Learn how to push yourself past your limit to achieve what you never thought possible on Episode 699.

698 Glenn Beck on Suicide and Addiction to Riches and Fame
If the world says “you’re enough” and you don’t believe it, it doesn’t matter.
If you are the only person in the world who says “I am enough,” that’s all you need.
How you finish the phrase “I am” will change your entire life. Saying “I am worthless” or “I am stupid” speaks those words into existence.
If you don’t finish the phrase “I am,” someone else will fill it in for you. It could be your parents, your partner, or even your critics.
The truth is, you are special. You are loved. You are enough.
On this episode, I discuss this idea with a powerful and polarizing media personality: Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck is founder of TheBlaze, a news and entertainment network, where he hosts The Glenn Beck Show. He’s a renowned American media personality, political commentator, and author.
Glenn has lived through a lot of tragedy in his life.
He has chosen to use all that he’s been through to get to where he is today. He’s not perfect nor does he expect anyone else to be.
Glenn makes the argument that we should stop making people into heroes or villains.
Learn all about Glenn’s journey and how he thinks about the bigger picture instead of getting outraged on Episode 698.

697 Rachel Hollis: How to Build Confidence, Believe in Yourself and Become Your Best Self
JUST KEEP GOING.
There are three fears we struggle with the most:
The fear of failure
The fear of success
And the fear of judgment.
The center of all of those fears is “I am not enough.”
When we get past that, we can step into anything.
People-pleasing is an issue a lot of us face.
It’s crazy how we can allow one person’s opinion of us to hold us back.
That’s why I really enjoyed my conversation with a bestselling mom who overcame her need to make other people happy: Rachel Hollis.
Rachel had been working for over a decade on her career, her marriage, and her brand before her career took off. She wrote six books that hardly sold any copies. Her seventh book became a hit.
Her life changed with one viral post that created the momentum for her bestselling book.
Girl, Wash Your Face has over a million copies sold and is growing every week. She is host of the RISE Podcast and co-host of the RISE Together podcast. She is a mother of four who was named one of the "Top 30 Entrepreneurs under 30" by Inc. Magazine.
She is an amazing example of the power of not giving up.
So learn how to follow your dreams and live for yourself (even if you’re a mom) on Episode 697.

YOUR BODY IS WIRED TO WORK WITH NATURE.
Sleep is so important.
So why do we do so many things that keep us from getting the sleep we need?
If we want to optimize our performance and our life, we have to think about sleep.
Humans used to sleep when it was dark. Now so many of us do the “laptop lapdance” at night, keeping our bodies awake with unnatural light.

WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE. They say that the first seven years of your life shapes you into the person you will become. As many of you know, I grew up Christian Scientist.

“Everybody wants to be great, but I advocate that people already are great.” Things move much faster than they used to. The world is 24 hours a day, and people feel like they have to keep up. We have to post, we have to read, we’re comparing ourselves to each other on social media. Wayne Dyer says, “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is rather than as you think it should be.” It’s so important that we take time to step back and reflect, so we don’t lose sight of what really matters. When we accept ourselves and everyone around us, we can experience a fuller life. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into a lot of things that have inspired an incredible mother and human being: Maria Shriver. Maria Shriver is a journalist, author, and former first lady of California. She has received a Peabody Award, been a co-anchor on CBS and NBC, and is an emmy-award winning producer. Maria is a New York Times Bestselling Author a few times over. She works with Alzheimer's and helps with so many charities around the world.

685 How to manage anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm
“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.”- Colin Powell
Have you ever felt that you didn’t have enough time in the day? I know I have.
To make our dreams a reality, it takes consistency over years. It doesn’t happen magically because we think about it.

I want to give you a solution to set yourself up so you don’t collapse from exhaustion.

You spend about one third of your life in bed. Taking an extra couple of minute to make your bed will subconsciously show that you respect yourself.
It also gives your mind a moment to think of something else, like a forced meditation that can allow your mind a moment to reset let go of any other distractions in your life.
In this episode of The School Of Greatness, I talk about a number of key lessons I’ve learned over the years to manage anxiety, burnout and overwhelm.

“THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP YOU CAN HAVE IS WITH YOURSELF."
Sometimes, we repeatedly attract the same kind of person into our life who does more harm than good.

681 Calm Your Mind with Andy Puddicombe
PUSHING AGAINST A SITUATION WILL CAUSE IT TO OWN YOU.
In today’s world, it’s easy to get swept into other people’s emotions. Social media, news, and even just a hectic lifestyle can make it challenging to ever feel at peace.
But it’s something you need to concentrate on. When your mind is always cluttered, it’s difficult to make the right decisions. Opportunities became unclear, unfocused.
I’m sure you’ve heard taking time to meditate is important for you. And sure, for those 5 or 10 minutes you may feel like your mind is clear.
Then what?
Meditation should go well beyond a specific time frame. It’s a practice that should be implemented throughout your day, especially when you feel a flood of emotions or thoughts.
Calming your mind is a skill you need to develop and use all throughout the day - everyday. Knowing that things are often more drastic in your mind than in reality. That some things happening to you are meant to be and our resistance only makes them worse.
To go deeper into what I mean, and the importance of keeping your mind calm, I’ve brought back this clip from Andy Puddicombe.
If you aren’t familiar with Andy, he’s a truly unique individual. Not only did he spend time living with monks, but he studied at the Moscow State Circus and got a degree in circus arts.

675 Look Good Naked with Mark Sisson
“IF YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY, DON'T EAT."
Health is one of the most important things to me. If your body isn’t operating at 100% efficiency then your mind can’t either.
A lot of this really does come down to diet. On a good diet, you will burn fat efficiently. You’ll have a healthier heart, your brain will function properly, and your body will be able to repair itself properly.
This last part is huge for those who are recovering from surgery, or dealing with various diseases.
Plus, there’s an added benefit on top of it all - you will lose weight and look great naked.
Who doesn’t want that?
To talk about the importance of a solid diet and how it can make a huge impact on your life overall, I brought back this clip from Mark Sisson.
Mark talks about the importance of diet, all of the problems he’s seen it solve, and some myths that even professionals have about diet, specifically with protein shakes.

672 Renew Your Energy with Arianna Huffington
“HOWEVER BLESSED OUR LIVES MAY BE, EVERY DAY HA STRESS AND CHALLENGES.”
Sleep is one of the most important things in life. If you’re not getting a good night sleep, it’ll affect every aspect of your life.
Your quality of work will suffer, and you will find that you’re not as productive as usual. You’ll become more irritable, and your relationships will start to strain. Sadly, people won’t want to be around you as much as usual.
When you get proper rest, going through your full REM cycle, everything gets better. You’ll find more light at the end of the road. It can help with depression, lower your blood pressure, and has even been shown to help fight diabetes.
The importance of sleep is something many people underestimate, but it’s an important step to achieving your greatness.
To help you understand good sleeping habits, I wanted to bring you this clip from a previous episode with Arianna Huffington.
Arianna’s 15th book is all about sleep. She sat down and gave me some great tips on ensuring you get a solid night’s rest.
Learn how you can fully recharge your energy, on Episode 672.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
Arianna’s sleep routine (00:52)

671 Overcome Emotional Obstacles
“NO ONE FEELS 100% CONFIDENT IN THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME.” - EMILY SKYE
There’s so many times where we focus on what society tells us will make us happy, and that’s all we chase. Money, a nice car, a house, and material objects that show off our “success."
We always end up overlooking ourselves. You avoid exercising until the doctor says you have to. I’m sure you’ve experienced it plenty. You ignore your stress at work until you just can’t take it anymore.
Ultimately your emotional state should take a priority. Without it, you can’t be at your best. At the end of the day, happiness is an emotional. All of the material items in the world can’t get you there.
That’s why I wanted to do a mashup this week on overcoming emotional obstacles from some of the masters: Emily Skye, Josh Shipp, Rupi Kaur and Joshua Millburn.
On this episode you’ll learn how to overcome emotional barriers that continue to hold us back.
If you take these lessons from people who have come from all walks of life you’ll be able to achieve your true destiny.
Please, sit down with this one and take notes. I know it’s going to help you tremendously.
So learn how to keep your emotions in line to nail your goals, and feel fulfilled, on Episode 671.
Some Questions I Ask:
Do you still go through times of being insecure? (5:40)
Why do you get insecure at times? (6:32)
If something isn’t working in your business, how do you handle the inner critic? (10:26)
How old were you (Shipp) when you met your final foster parents? (15:56)
Do you (Rupi) think your work would be as powerful without going through pain and suffering? (19:43)

670 Building an Influential Personal Brand with Rory Vaden
"LACK OF REVENUE IS NOT YOUR GREATEST PROBLEM; A LACK OF REPUTATION IS." - RORY VADEN
There is something incredibly important in life that I don't hear enough people talking about. It's called your personal brand and it goes far beyond your career.
I started learning about personal branding over 10 years ago when I got into the entrepreneurial world. I noticed a big difference between some people's brands and others. So I started taking notes.
Today, I credit a huge part of my success, both personally and professionally, to the personal brand I've created. It's my reputation and much more.
There's no one I trust more to teach on this topic than my good friend Rory Vaden.
Rory and I met years ago and would meet up every once in a while at different events. But it wasn't until I felt the need to call him a couple of months ago that I truly learned about Rory's genius.
I was feeling a little uneasy about what to do next with my personal brand and business. I knew I needed to get an outside set of expert eyes on it.
So I called Rory out of the blue and asked if I could come meet him to talk about it.
Rory not only gave me two days of his time and hosted me at his house, he gave me such valuable insight into my business and brand that I am shifting my entire focus as a result.
I want to share this same information and insight with as many people as possible, so Rory flew out to record a podcast episode all about how he thinks about branding (and what he helps his clients do).
He even offered free brand strategy calls to any School of Greatness podcast listeners if you are interested in becoming an influential personal brand.
This conversation is a goldmine, and I can't wait for you to take tons of notes on it in Episode 670.
In this episode you will learn:
What reputation actually is (Rory's definition)
Why a lack of revenue is not your greatest problem
Rory's reputation formula to create rock solid results
How to become unstoppable through your branding
What your brand DNA is made of
How to know if a decision is aligned with your ethics
What one of the biggest lures of compromise is
The DARES test to put all your business ideas through
How to figure out the actual business you are in
Plus much more...

669 Respect Your Priorities with Michael Hyatt
“WHEN WE HAVE PRIORITIES WE CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE URGENT AND THE IMPORTANT.”
A lot of times in life we do what we feel is urgent. We will go so far as to put off what we really need to do in order to take care of urgent things.
Often we even put it ahead of taking care of ourselves.
It’s really unfortunate because if you don’t take care of yourself you can’t take care of the urgent. You can’t work from a hospital bed.
That’s why you need to have priorities. Priorities will guide you in life’s decisions and keep you on track.
Most importantly, priorities will give you the confidence to say no. They help you identify what’s truly needed in your life, versus what someone else feels is important.
On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I wanted to dive into the importance of setting priorities and sticking to them.
There’s no one I know who practices this better than Michael Hyatt.
Michael is a social media marketing wizard and has worked for one of the biggest publishing companies.
Learn his insights on staying true to what’s necessary, on Episode 669.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
The essence of leadership (00:55)

668 Unlocking Creativity and Your Personal Genius
“It’s what you do with the tools, not what the tools are themselves” - Casey Neistat
How many times do you try to look for success and fulfillment through logic? You might be looking too hard and in the wrong direction.
Creativity is the key to unlocking your dreams and vision for the future. If you can unlock that creative mindset, you’ll be set for life.
Machines and computers can do logical tasks and hard work, but they’ll never be able to be creative. That’s something only a person can do.
Some people find their creative passions easily, while others feel a struggle. If you’re one who struggles, don’t worry -- finding your unique passions aren’t as hard as you might think.
The key is to let go of your feeling of judgment. Let your mind relax and think about what made you weird or unusual as a child. Those fun oddities are what will make you something big today.
To go more into unlocking your creativity, I wanted to bring you back past episodes from Chase Jarvis, Casey Neistat, Manoush Zomorodi, and Liz Gilbert.
Continuing my mashup series, I felt it was important to bring you the masters of creativity.

Cesar is a recent father and has been by my side pretty much since the beginning.
He’s been the business side of my company, helping me push things forward and helping to reign me in when things aren’t working.
For this episode, we discuss exactly how you can develop on innovative mindset -- what you need to focus on, and not focus on, to see your business and relationships move forward.
If you’re not innovating, you’re standing still. When you stand still the world is leaving you behind.
Innovation isn’t about being better than your competition or reacting to what what’s happening around you.
Innovation happens before you need to react.

666 Become Emotionally Fit with Natalie Jill
ADDITION IS MORE POWERFUL THAN SUBTRACTION.
You’ll hear from a lot of people that if you want to succeed at something you need to cut out all of the bad. This may be in your business, your personal life, or even in your health.
In reality, that’s not always the easiest thing to do. How many time have you had your heart broken and find yourself going through your ex’s Instagram posts to see what they are doing?
Sure, it would be nice to cut it out - but for some reason you just can’t.
The key is not to subtract these things from your life, but to add more positive things. When you do this, you won’t have the time to let bad things into your life.
For example, if you are at a restaurant and you sit down at the table you may be eyeing the dessert menu. Maybe that chocolate cheesecake sounds so good.
When you order your meal you start with a salad, then order a healthy plate with a lot of vegetables. When you’re finished eating, you’re so full you don’t even want that cheesecake anymore.
Apply that same principle into your life. Fill it with positivity in every area of your life and the bad will weed itself out over time.
To dive deeper into this subject, I wanted to bring you back an older episode from Natalie Jill.
Natalie is an inspiration to everyone. She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and at one point lost everything she had worked for. Since then she’s gained it all back and more.
She sat down and gave insights on how she is able to continually build on her success, and how anyone can achieve their goals.
So learn how you can make your dreams come true through abundance instead of deprivation, on Episode 666.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
What you should think about in fitness (00:54)
How to improve your emotional health (1:39)
What feeds into negativity (2:53)

665 Jordan Peterson on Pain and Suffering
“When you love someone, you not only love them despite their fragility: but also because of it.”
One of the hardest things you have to deal with in life is watching someone close to you suffer from an illness. Especially if you’re a parent.
Although I’ve never had the experience of seeing my child suffer, I’ve had close loved ones go through the pain.
It’s this time in life that either makes or breaks you. You have to be strong, not just for you, but also for them.
That doesn’t mean you should discourage their vulnerability. You still need to embrace it, and there is a delicate balance in doing so.
It’s also important to be there to support them and let them know that they are not a victim. They are still as strong as they want to be.
If they fall into that victim mentality, it’s game over. They begin to lose their character in their illness.
To dive into this more, I brought back Dr. Jordan Peterson.
This is part two of my interview with Dr. Peterson. If you missed the last episode, go back and listen.
In this part of my interview, Jordan dove into what it was like watching his child suffer with an debilitating illness.
He talks about the lessons he learned as a professional, as well as a father.
We discuss how his entire family was affected, and how he was able to teach is daughter to stay strong and vulnerable.
This is a powerful episode, and you need to listen to it because there are valuable lesson you will need to use one day.
Learn how you can avoid the victim mentality when an illness hits, on Episode 665.
Some Questions I Ask:
What’s the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome? (5:16)
How does mapping out your time play into the self authoring program? (9:09)

664 Jordan Peterson on Responsibility and Meaning
“TREAT YOURSELF LIKE YOU ARE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING.”
It’s common for people to question why they are here. This question can lead to depression and a sense that the world is a terrible place. I’ve sure you’ve experienced that feeling, and you may even be going through it right now.
During these times you’ll commonly replay events in your life where you felt out of control or like everything was going wrong.
That reaction comes from a lack of purpose and responsibility for yourself. You’re lacking the goals you need to feel complete.
Instead, start making a road map for your life: the things you want to achieve, the family you want to have, etc.
It doesn’t have to be a perfect map. In fact, it won’t be. No one has the ultimate road map. But any direction is better than no direction. Without a start, you’re just going to stand there watching the world pass you by.
To dive further into this I’ve brought in a special guest: Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Dr. Peterson is a professor at the University of Toronto, a clinical psychologist and the author of the million-plus selling 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos (Jan 2018, Penguin Books), which has been a Number 1 bestseller in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands and Brazil, and which is now slated to be translated into 40 languages.
He has become super popular in the last two years for his lectures which he records and puts on YouTube.
I had such an interesting interview with him that had so much important information, I actually split it into two episodes.
In this episode of The School of Greatness, we sit down and discuss why we admire sports figures, how any aim (even a bad one) is crucial for you to feel fulfilled, and a mindset tool you can use to motivate you to do hard things.
Learn how you can find the strength to live life you didn’t know you had, on Episode 664.
Some Questions I Ask:
How do you embody something in a shift of view? (7:23)
Why is there so much conflict in the world? (8:14)
A clear conscience is different than happiness? (11:06)
When we’re watching sports, what does it do for us? (15:51)
How do you fix your past traumas you can’t let go of? (21:22)
What do you mean by being reasonable with your goals? (23:18)
Why is it better to have a bad plan than to be in “No Man’s Land”? (27:15)
What are some examples of weaknesses people might have? (28:42)
What are three weaknesses, you know right now, you can still work on? (29:29)
Does a rationale mean a meaning? (37:14)

663 Hustle for a Purpose with Ryan Holmes
"THERE I SUCH A THING HAS BAD HUSTLE.”
The more successful you get, the more you are going to feel you need to hustle.
You’ll feel the need to keep moving and it’ll seem like if you stop, all of the pieces will fall apart. Unfortunately, that can end up being your downfall.
If you move just to keep moving, you can end up in the wrong place in life.
After a while, other areas in your life will start falling apart: especially your health. And without that, what’s the point of all the work?
That’s why it’s important to find that balance in your life. Find the time to hustle for yourself and for the ones you love. All of that is just as important for an entrepreneur as their business.

662 Mastering Body Language and Confidence
There are two things that can make or break you when it comes to achieving greatness: your body language and your confidence.
If you don’t have confidence, you’ll never be able to put yourself out there to the world. You need the confidence to try, and it’s confidence that will help you get back up after your failures.
Once you have the confidence to get out there, your next obstacle is your first impression. Your body language tells someone a lot about you. Sometimes, it may not be what you intended it to say.
Having proper posture, giving people a big smile, and treating everyone like an old friend will go a long way.
These are really important lessons, which is why I wanted to bring you a mashup from Chen Lizra, Jordan Harbinger and Vanessa Van Edwards.
I’ve received such an overwhelming response on the past mashups I wanted to bring you another one.
I really suggest you go back and listen to the episode multiple times. There’s so much great advice from all three of these guests, you can’t absorb it all in one sitting.
Take a new nugget of information each day and apply it to your life.
You’ll quickly learn how not only your life can change, but these tips will also affect the people around you.

661 Building Your Personal Advisory Board (aka Dream Team)
“YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELF LIKE A BUSINESS.”
I know you’ve heard the story of me falling into a funk and sleeping on my sister’s couch for 18 months in my early twenties. One thing you probably didn’t know is how I got out of this funk.
I wanted to record a solo round on this topic because it's one of the most powerful tools I've ever used to shift my life -- it's called creating a personal advisory board.
If you haven’t heard of it before, a personal advisory board is a group of people that you build around you to give you wisdom, inspire you, and, most importantly, create accountability.
You may be wondering what the difference is between an advisor and a mentor -- the truth is there is a big difference.
A mentor is someone you look up to. You may know them, but you may not. Chances are, today, any mentor you have can answer your questions through resources they’ve created. Maybe it’s a book, a podcast, or online articles.
Board members are people you know much more intimately. It’s also important they have an invested interest in your success.
Ultimately, they have skin in the game when it comes to you.
But it goes beyond that. An advisory board can help you in all aspects of your life. It’s a team for success and they are there to call on throughout the year and see your goals through to the end.
No matter where you are at in your life and business, you need an advisory board. Without it, you’re either going to stay stagnant or move toward your dreams much slower than you could with it.
Learn all about my tips on building the ultimate advisory board, on Episode 661.

659 Overcome Stress and Own the Day with Master Coaches
DON'T ALLOW STRESS TO CONSUMER YOUR LIFE.
I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately in my life. I get wrapped up in it and tell myself (and others) how stressed I am.
This mentality ends up breeding even more stress, and it’s honestly not healthy.
As I listen to others around me, I’ve come to realize this is the norm. Despite all of the technology we have and all of our luxuries, we consider ourselves to be the most stressed generation.
That’s why I decided to bring you another great mashup talking about this stress from Amanda Enayati, Todd Kashdan, Lissa Rankin, and Arianna Huffington.
Stress, more than anything, is a mindset. It’s something we create ourselves in order to try and protect ourselves.
We even become stressed about the unknown. The possibility of infinite success, or infinite failure, naturally gets our emotions to focus the darker side of the world.
Instead, I challenge you to take the lessons from each of these clips. Apply them to your life and see just how much better you can make your life.
I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, and how you apply these lessons in your life - so don’t hesitate to reach out to me on social media and let me know how it’s been working for you.

“NEVER SAY YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF SOMETHING.”
Your mindset is one of the most important tools you have in life. It can make you or break you.
Many times people don’t realize the impact their thoughts and words have on their life,
They tell themselves stories, whether it’s about their work, their finances, or even their health. These stories become real. They dictate your future.

A lot of times it takes a major life event to make you realize the problem. By then, it can feel too late.

657 You Are Enough with Carrie-Anne Moss
“I AM ENOUGH. I DESERVE SUCCESS.”
You have to fight for what you want if you want to accomplish anything. Otherwise it wouldn’t be an achievement, it would just be the way life is.
Unfortunately, the struggle we have to go through to achieve our dreams can be overwhelming. It can be discouraging, and often times people give up just before they hit that pivotal point in life.
One thing you can do to push through is remind yourself that you are enough. You can succeed. It’s going to take time, dedication, and a lot of failures. As long as you keep learning, and stay strong, you can achieve anything.
To go further into this, I wanted to bring back a clip from a previous episode with Carrie-Anne Moss.
You may remember her as Trinity from The Matrix. What you may not know is how much she struggled moving to LA as a young actress.
On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, she talks about what a challenge it was to move to Hollywood and believe in her own value. She has no money, no green card, and literally nothing but the dream of being an actress.
Learn about how just being her was enough to succeed, and how you can apply her mindset into your life, on Episode 657.

656 Understanding Human Psychology from the Masters
“When people know their tendencies, they see themselves more clearly” - Gretchen Rubin
No matter what business you are in, psychology is something you shouldn’t overlook.
It’s not just something you should know in order to land the next client, or how to better build your team, but also to help you grow.
You need to understand yourself to know what obstacles you need to overcome. When you understand your own psychology, you open a whole new world of possibilities.
Getting to know your personality type means you’ll know what to adjust when you meet someone else. It also means you’ll know what to look out for when someone is trying to manipulate you.
In every way, knowing psychology can be important to help you achieve the greatness you want. That’s why I put together this new mashup with the bests: Scott Barry Kaufman, Chris Lee, Gretchen Rubin, John Danner and Chris Kuenne
In this episode of The School of Greatness, you’ll get a solid look as to various personality types that exist. You’ll also learn about the tendencies we all have and how to turn them into a strength.
Each of my guests also give real world examples on how you can use the information provided in this episode.
I hand picked the best of the best information from these episodes because I want to see you get out there, use this knowledge, and succeed.
Anyone listening to this episode will take away something that they didn’t know before -- I learned new things re-listening to these clips!
Get ready to better understand psychology, on Episode 656.

655 Be Vulnerable and Fight to Win with MMA Fighter Michelle Waterson
“NEVER LET ANYBODY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAMS. NOT EVEN YOURSELF.”
So many times in this world we let others dictate our lives. We listen to our parents, our friends, even our neighbors on what we “should do” with our lives.
No one knows our true purpose -- that’s something we have to find on our own.
Our passions and our love should be what guides us in life, not just logic.
Life’s too short to spend precious moments chasing something we don’t care about, something that doesn’t make us feel fulfilled.
Sure, you could be a doctor or a lawyer and make money fast: but what good is the cash if you’re miserable?
When you follow your passion and master those skills, the money will follow, and it’ll be worth the delay.
That’s why for today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I brought on a truly inspirational woman: Michelle Waterson.
Michelle is a wife, a mother, and an amazing UFC fighter. She had a passion for martial arts even as a child but pushed her passion aside to listen to what her parents wanted.
She went to college and studied things she didn’t really care about.
One day she was hired to work as a ring girl at a UFC fight and watching the action up close made her decide she wanted to continue her childhood passion.
As soon as the semester was over, she left school and started training to be a fighter - but there was only one problem.
At that time there were no UFC women. In fact, the UFC was very clear they were never planning to let women into the UFC.
She didn’t let that stop her. She continued to train and take small fights any chance should could.
Finally, all the hard work paid off. The UFC started letting in women fighters, and she’s had an incredible career that didn’t exist not too long ago.
If you’re wondering if you should actually pursue your passion, no matter how unconventional it may be, you need to hear Episode 655.
Some Questions I Ask:
What has being a fighter taught you about femininity and masculinity? (7:36)
You were a ring girl and then thought it would be fun to be in the ring punching people? (11:27)
What’s a smoker? (14:11)
If there were no women in the UFC at the time, what was your vision? (16:02)
What does it take to be a champion in the UFC? (19:44)
What’s the challenging part for you mentally and physically from the moment you get the phone call to the moment you step in the ring? (22:36)
What has your biggest loss taught you about yourself? (26:44)
What was the most challenging emotional wave you had to experience leading into a fight? (30:52)
How do you get back to keeping your mental strength after and injury or bad loss? (41:32)
What’s the greatest thing your dad taught you about being a better woman? (44:58)
What kind of example do you want to set for your daughter? (47:08)
In This Episode You Will Learn:
What it is about fighting that Michelle loves (9:02)
Her next step after training in Thailand (13:46)
How long she was an amateur fighter (14:56)
Her biggest fear today (18:08)
What she does to silence the conversations that try to hold her back (20:56)
How she respects her opponents when she’s fighting them (25:02)
How she manages emotional up and downs (28:52)
How she was able to focus on her fights, despite all of her emotional ups and downs (38:32)
The greatest lesson her mom taught her (43:09)

654 Tell Your Story with Donald Miller
THERE'S ONE THING EVERYONE LIKE: A GOOD STORY.
A strong story can move the masses. It can inspire a generation or change your life forever.
Storytelling is also one of the most important tools we can use in business. Good storytelling can take your business to new heights.
There is a secret to good storytelling: make other people the hero.
If you’re the hero of your own stories, you sound conceited. Instead, make others the focus. If you want to take it to the next level, make your audience the hero of the story.
To dive into the power of storytelling, I wanted to bring back an interview with Donald Miller for this episode of 5 Minute Friday.
Donald unlocked the power of storytelling and quadrupled his business in no time. Then he started to get calls from the biggest companies, like Pantene, Ford-Lincoln and even the White House!

653 Become Superhuman and Achieve the Impossible with Iron Cowboy James Lawrence
"AS A PEOPLE, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR ALTER EGO IS.”
One of the hardest things for us to deal with is pain. Our mind tries to prevent us from experiencing it. It's just trying to protect us and keep us alive.
When we push through that pain, however, that’s when we accomplish greatness.
Now I don’t mean continuing with a broken arm. I mean pushing through those tough times when your mind is trying to tell your body to stop, but you know you have more to give.
That’s why I wanted to bring you today’s guest, the Iron Cowboy himself: James Lawrence.
James did 50 Ironman Triathlons, in 50 days, in 50 states.
He was constantly on the move for 12 hours a day, running, swimming, and cycling. As soon as he was finished, he had to travel to the next state.
Most days James only had about four hours to rest.
That’s no time for your body to recover.
Did he hurt? Did he want to give up? Of course. But James ended up powering through, breaking a Guinness World Record.
At the end of the 50 days, his body had begun to accept that this was its new reality (and he felt like he needed to do another triathlon after he finished!)
Humans can push themselves so much further than we think. We just need to get over our mental barriers to see what we can really achieve.
Learn what it takes to develop your skills and overcome your boundaries, on Episode 653.
Some Questions I Ask:
The universe was telling you to quit, how and why did you continue? (12:01)
When did you do your first Ironman Triathlon? (21:00)
Why do you think it’s important to put your body through a stress that your mind says no to? (25:36)
What was your greatest fear growing up? (29:16)
What’s the greatest personal struggle you’ve ever faced? (32:15)
Were the conversations you were having with yourself more about forgiveness or the future you wanted to create? (37:56)
How much mental training did it take for you to find your alter ego? (42:53)
What’s your mental routine on a daily basis? (52:56)
In This Episode You Will Learn:

652 Jesse Itzler on Building a Healthy, Wealthy, Wise Life
“I LEARN BEST BY JUMPING INTO THE UNKNOWN.”
There’s one resource in this world we all take for granted: time.
We’re only on this planet for a small amount of time, and we tend to build routines in our lives that makes the days roll by.
The next thing we know, we look in the mirror and we’re 70. When you look at that face do you want to see a life of missed opportunities or one filled with experiences you are proud of?
If you want the latter, you need to make sure you schedule time for you. Take the time to build your life resume, because that’s what makes our lives much more interesting.
When you talk about someone, do you talk about how they clock in to work on time everyday at 9 am and work late hours? Or do you talk about the places they’ve been to, and the experiences they’ve had?
On this episode of The School of Greatness, I bring you back someone who has decided to build their life’s resume: Jesse Itzler.
Importance of taking advantage of time. Routine make life fly by. Make time for yourself - building life resume instead of business resume.
Jesse enjoys living life "out of the box." In fact, he doesn't even have a box. The author of the New York Times bestseller, Living with a Seal, co founded Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. Jesse then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company.
He’s also the kind of person that when he wants something he grabs onto the opportunity without delay. He recently decided he needed to detox his mind from electronics and the constant multitasking of today’s world.
He ended up living with monks, living in a room as small as a table, and unable to communicate with his family, just to find himself.
The lessons he learned most were about the need to make time for yourself and the people around you that you care most about. In the end, that’s where you’ll have the most impact and where your true legacy will come from.
Learn more lessons from Jesse’s isolation and time with the monks, on Episode 652.
Some Questions I Ask:
How was your 15 day digital detox? (8:45)
What are you not waiting for? (20:09)
If you could go back 20 years, what would you eliminate or add to your life? (21:41)
Do you still take 3 hours for yourself every day? (24:44)
What do you think you can learn from pain? (29:14)
What did the monks teach you about overcoming personal challenges? (32:52)
What did the master’s say (about death)? (36:34)
Have you and your wife ever struggled with competing with one another? (44:47)
Do you ever have a fear that your kids are a little soft? (47:04)
What are the things you’ve learned from your time in your monks you didn’t know before? (48:13)

651 Overcome All Odds with Amy Purdy
“WE’RE GOING TO FALL CONSTANTLY. WHAT KEEPS YOU YOUNG?”
We all go through struggles in life, and it’s so easy to get into a loop of self pity. Instead, find a way to focus on your future.
Make goals for yourself, especially if you find yourself in a life changing event. Where do you want to be in six months? What accomplishment do you want to make in the next year?
Life’s too short to dwell on the present, so look forward to the future.
The importance of creating this sort of accountability really got me thinking about a past episode with one of the most inspirational people I had on the show: Amy Purdy.
Amy is a Paralympian who lost both of her feet. It didn’t stop her from becoming a world class athlete and someone that even Oprah has called her hero.
On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, Amy discusses how she was able to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles by shifting her mindset to one that is selfless.
Learn all about how you can overcome the impossible, on Episode 651.

650 Leadership Lessons from the Masters
“The leader who acts like they have all the answers leaves no opportunity for others to help.” - Simon Sinek
My previous mashup episodes have been exploding. Because of this, I wanted to bring you an episode on leadership.
No matter who you are, or what you do, you will be in a leadership position at some point. Whether you are the CEO of a company, or a stay at home parent: there are people who rely on you to stand up and take charge.
This can be a very confusing situation, as sometimes you may find yourself feeling like you can’t ask for help. You also may feel like you’re losing progress and need to keep moving forward.
To give you the tools you need to lead in success I wanted to bring you back segments from Alison Levine, Simon Sinek, Nancy Duarte, and Cesar Millan.
This collection of interviews, I felt, will give you some of the tools you need to really progress in your life.
If you take these lessons, and integrate them into your life a little at a time, you will see results.
I don’t expect you to memorize it all and I don’t expect you to make a sudden change. Integrate these lessons little by little and review them.
Now get to it, and learn how to be a successful leader, on Episode 650.
Som questions I ask:
What if you have an employee that’s failing over and over again? (5:39)
Why do you say “When you make progress on something, turn around and change direction?" (7:12)
Does vulnerability create trust? (12:06)
Who do you think is the most inspiring leader? (20:14)
Did you (Cesar) always see yourself as a natural leader? (21:36)
What if someone feels like they’re leading, but aren’t? (23:19)

649 Make a Comeback - Body and Mind Training with Brooke Ence
“YOU HAVEN'T LOST CHANCES TO BE A BETTER PERSON.”
Are you aware you’re constantly being judged? I bet you are. Are you letting it affect the the way you live your life? I really hope not.
Today, it’s so much easier to feel the burden of judgment. With social media, our lives are always in the spotlight. There are so many people who will hate on us, and the more successful we are the more haters there usually are.
You can’t listen to them. You just need to follow your heart and brush off their comments.
Focus in on listening to those that you really do care about, not some stranger that you’ve never heard of.
I have a special guest who knows more about this than most people: Brooke Ence.
Brooke is a fitness and Crossfit icon. She also appeared in Wonder Woman as an Amazonian warrior and she's just getting started.
Unfortunately, she’s always received a lot of criticism in her life. Her love of working out has meant she doesn’t have a traditional female body. She can come off as intimidating to people, and there’s always been a lot of backlash on social media because of it.
Last year she suffered a spinal injury that nearly took her life’s passion away from her. She decided not to let it ruin everything she has built.
Through pacing herself she’s learned to get back into the competition world and has been making a massive recovery in such a short amount of time.
Sadly, this pacing of herself has lead to even more people criticizing her. They’ve been trying to make her feel like she’s burnt out or past her prime - but I get the feeling she’s going to come back even stronger and better in the future.
Instead of listening to the naysayers she’s learned to focus her attention to people that truly know her, support her, and gauge her success on their reaction.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, Brooke really opens up about her injury and the struggles she’s gone through as a woman focusing on her passion as opposed to society’s standards.
She really is an inspiration to all people -- don't miss Episode 649.
Some Questions I Ask:
How did you get your injury? (7:48)
Did people think you could come back like you did? (23:18)
Has your build had an affect your confidence? (29:12)
What advice do you give to people that focus on other people’s words all the time? (42:16)
How do you push through every time when it hurts? (51:20)
Do you feel relief that you don’t have to train as hard for the games? (53:42)
In This Episode You Will Learn:
How quickly Brooke had her surgery (20:32)
The ways Brooke is more secure today (26:26)
How Brooke dealt with the lies she was telling herself (37:15)
How she sets herself up to have the best workout (48:28)
Her vision moving forward (52:03)

646 How to Be the Jedi Master of Overcoming Stress with Chris Lee
“YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER OTHER PEOPLE, BUT YOU HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOURSELF.”
Do you ever feel like there’s certain things that just set you off? Certain subjects that send you into a blind rage?
We all go through it. There was a period in my life, well honestly it was most of my life, I was explosive. Even if a little thing would trigger me, I found myself exploding. In those moments, I would reflect - and I know that wasn’t me.
The truth is, it wasn’t me. It was my reaction. More importantly, it wasn’t my reaction to what was really happening. I was reacting to things in my past.
Previous events I was holding on to, and constantly judging, were making me react in an explosive manner. Events would trigger these memories on a subconscious level, and everything that built up would come out all at once.
I was able to find a place of peace with my past and find a place of neutrality, thanks to the help of today’s guest: Chris Lee.
Chris Lee is a transformational facilitator and coach (and TV personality) that has been doing deep work for 30 years. This is also the 14th (yes, 14th) time he’s been on the show.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, we discuss how you can achieve a neutral mindset. Not only will you get the theory behind the work, but you’ll also walk away with actionable steps you can take today to make that happen.
Don’t be caught reacting to your triggers, creating an image of yourself you don’t want others to see ever again.
Chris has been my coach for years on this exact topic, and I'm so excited for you to hear his wisdom as well.
Learn how you can create a neutral mind-frame that allows for clarity on Episode 646.
Some Questions I Ask:
How can we have more results in our lives? (7:44)
So what is step one to create a neutral life? (18:00)
How do you handle not letting wild kids trigger you? (19:26)
Do you recommend having a mantra if things seem too out of control? (21:34)
What’s the next point for staying neutral? (32:34)
What’s something you’ve learned about yourself that’s surprised you in the last year? (38:54)
What’s the thing you need to master still that will take you to another level? (41:34)

645 Give Your Attention with Elizabeth Gilbert
“THERE’S A HUGE AMOUNT OF REAL STATE BETWEEN THE WORST AND THE GREATEST.”
Do you care about getting your social media numbers up? Do you want people to love and adore you?
The problem is that you’re focusing in the wrong direction.
Don’t concentrate on yourself or what you want from other people. Shift your focus to helping others. Make an impact on those who already appreciate you.
When that happens, more people will appreciate you. You’ll make their lives magical, and the success and admiration will come later.
For example, when Oprah comes out on stage she doesn’t say “Look at me. I’m great.” She puts her focus on her audience. She zooms in on others and does what she can to help everyone around her.
For this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I’m bringing back this segment from Elizabeth Gilbert.
She’s an American author, essayist, short story writer, biographer, novelist, and memoirist.
She is best known for her 2006 memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, which as of December 2010 had spent 199 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.
She gives her insights on what she’s learned about the power of looking to serve rather than be served.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 645.

644 Wellness Wisdom from the Masters
THE FIRST WEALTH IS HEALTH.
Lately I have been bringing you some mashups, giving you some of the best advice on a specific topic and the response has been overwhelming.
I know you love the long interviews, hearing about all aspects of someone’s life - and I’m not going to stop those. I love them too.
But I wanted to take a moment to bring you a best of on something very important to me.
It’s something that you need to think about if you want to truly achieve greatness, because without it you can’t go very fair.
Yes, it's health and wellness.
Without having good health, you can’t really enjoy your life.
Trust me I know. I used to not care about my body at all. I worked all day. I would hardly sleep. I was putting on a lot of weight. So much so people started to call me Flewis (Fat Lewis).
Once I started taking care of myself, that’s when everything changed. I started sleeping better, I had more confidence, and I was a lot more productive.
That’s why for this episode of the School of Greatness, I am bringing you a wellness mash up.
To talk about the relationship champions have with their bodies and how you can achieve the same thing, I bring you Aubrey Marcus.
Discussing the importance of good habits and Whole30, you’ll hear from Melissa Hartwig.
The importance of educating yourself and sleep is talked about by Shawn Stevenson.
Lastly, to discuss body image and self worth I bring you back Kelly LeVeque.

643 Show the World Your Greatness with Trent Shelton
“WHAT YOU THINK IS YOUR GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT CAN BE YOUR GREATEST RESCUE.”
Do you ever get down on yourself over mistakes you’ve made in the past? Are you upset about things that happened to you and feel like the best times of your life are over?
They’re not.
When I was younger and injured right as my professional career as an athlete was starting to take off, I thought that was it.
I thought my life was over in my early twenties. I had no backup. No plan B.
I ended up sharing myself with the world, and turning my selfish nature into something selfless. I started making it my goal to help others, to transform lives, and I’m so much happier than I ever could have been.
Of course, a part of me wishes my career as an athlete had been successful, but when I think about everything I have and all of the memories I have from helping others, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
There’s no reason you can’t do the same now.
Your glory days are still coming.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, I had the pleasure to sit down with someone who has gone through a similar situation as myself: Trent Shelton.

642 Love Versus Ego with Taye Diggs
"CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU ARE WORTH IT.”
Have you ever wondered, “What value do I have? Am I good enough? How can I compete against others?”
Those thoughts stem from you comparing yourself to others. It’s a natural habit, but it’s one that is going to hold you back.
Your value comes from you. From being who you are, and all of the experiences you went through.
This world, and finding your place in it, is all about you being you and trusting in your instincts.
If you compare yourself to others, you’re always going to feel like you’re coming up short.
The truth is, you are great now. Every experience you go through, good or bad, makes you something special.
To go further into this, I wanted to dive into a previous episode with Taye Diggs.
Taye is an actor and singer who has had an incredible career in film and theatre. He was in the film, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and the TV series Private Practice, among many other career highlights.
Listen to all of Taye’s insights, on Episode 642.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
What Taye struggled with (00:53)
The thing you need to convince yourself of (1:14)
How to find your inner power (1:47)
What guides Taye and his actions (2:26)

641 Spiritual Truths from the Masters
"You have to have some kind of practice of stillness in your life." - Danielle LaPorte
Have you ever wondered what the truth is about why we're here and how to make sense of life?
I think we all have.
It's a question I often ask guests on my podcast who have a spiritual background. I'm fascinated by all the different ideas on our purpose in life and how to find it.
We've had some amazing spiritual leaders on the show, from all different backgrounds, so I thought it would be cool to do a Masters mashup episode on spiritual truths.
The response to these mashup episodes from the archives has been so great, I'm going to keep them coming.
This one features 4 clips from some of the wisest spiritual minds I've ever met.
First we hear from John Gray about how we can see our biggest mistakes and challenges being used for good in our lives.
Then we hear from Marianne Williamson about the difference between pain and suffering (and that we have a choice about how to respond to them).
Next there's a great nugget from Danielle LaPorte about why it's so important to be your own guru when it comes to walking your spiritual path.
And lastly we end with Rob Bell talking about why he believes God has put paradox into every truth (and why that is a good thing).
I loved each of these episodes, and I think you'll get as much value as I did by revisiting them in Episode 641.
In this episode you will learn:
The importance of seeing each other's struggles (5:42)
The difference between pain and suffering (9:16)
How to create space to listen to your own wisdom (12:38)
Why paradox is baked into truth (19:04)

639 Be Kind to Yourself with Marianne Williamson
“IF YOU FILL YOUR HOUSE LIGHT, DARKNESS CAN'T COME IN.”
So many people I know put more time and energy into their things, or their career, than they do into into their relationship.
I know I can be guilty of it, and I’m sure you can be too.
We put so much time into fixing up things like our homes, maintaining our cars, we tend to forget about those closest to us. We take them for granted.
When is the last time you really took the time to make your partner feel good? How often do you really put effort into boosting their confidence -- or even just being present with them.
That’s not the only relationship we neglect though - we forget about the one with ourselves.
Chances are it’s been awhile since you’ve taken the time to forgive yourself. To do something respectable and give yourself that moment to appreciate it.
To appreciate you.
To dive further into this I wanted to bring back a previous episode with the internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer, Marianne Williamson on Episode 639.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
The only thing that matters (00:37)
What our society really seems to care about (00:43)
What you should be doing for your partner daily (1:19)
Where a lot of the pain we feel comes from (1:57)

638 Train Your Mind to Win with MMA Champion Mike Chandler
"SOMEBODY HAS TO BE THE BEST. WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE YOU?" - MIKE CHANDLER
Have you ever looked at the best in the world and wondered if you could be that?
I have.
I think a lot of us do when we're kids. We are amazed and inspired by the very best examples we find.
But often we grow up and discover all kinds of reasons for why we can't be as good as the best.
We fail at things. We struggle. We get knocked down, disappointed, hurt.
I got to connect with someone this week who has experienced all of that. Many times.
But he still decided he could be the best in the world at what he does. And he became that.
Mike Chandler is a Bellator Lightweight Champion fighter. He was an All-American wrestler in college. He's overcome extraordinary opponents to win titles again and again.
But he's also faced losses. Failures. Setbacks. At one point, after winning the world championship, he didn't win another fight for 688 days straight.
So when we had a minute to sit down to record a podcast about the mindset of champions, I had to know what his self-talk routine is like.
It really impressed me. Mike told me that self-image is actually one of the most important things he has cultivated. He has to believe he can be the best in the world, or it's not going to happen.
I loved his insights on why it's so important to talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself, and so many more nuggets.
Whatever you're aspiring to, I know you'll find his wisdom very helpful in Episode 638.
Some questions I ask:
What lesson did you learn in order to win the world championship? (8:23)
Who taught you that you could become anything you want? (11:05)
What do all world-class fighters have in common? (14:47)
What happens when you believe you deserve great things? (18:03)
What's your greatest gift in your sport and what do you need to work on the most? (19:10)
In this episode you will learn:
Why settling for your mediocre circumstances is unacceptable (9:20)
What loss can teach us about what our potential is (11:15)
Why your self-image is so important to your success (14:55)
Mike's pre-fight self-talk and rituals (21:10)

"When you become rare, people become really terrified of losing you." - Matthew Hussey
I know I get huge value every time I sit across from an expert and hear their wisdom about one of the most important parts of my life -- my relationships.
We've had some amazing relationship coaches on the podcast through the years, but some of the episodes are so old, I know you may not remember them (or have ever heard them).

I think you'll love each clip for a different reason -- and I want to know! Let me know by messaging me on social media @lewishowes.

634 Reverse Disease and Reclaim Your Health with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee
“WE’RE APPLYING 20TH CENTURY THINKING TO 21ST CENTURY PROBLEMS.”
If you wake up in the morning and find that your tire is low, what do you do? You go with the quick fix and fill it up with air.
What if you go to your car the next day and find it’s low. Do you fill it up again, and again, and again for days, weeks, months?
Of course not. You find the root of the problem.
You find the nail, or whatever is causing the problem, to have it removed and have it fixed permanently.
So why aren’t you doing it with your health?
Most of us go to the doctor and get a prescription for pills to fix our chronic problems. We just keep going for the quick fix instead of addressing the root of it.
I can’t say every medical condition is this way, but in many cases ongoing problems like depression and diabetes needs to have the root problem examined.
Chances are you just need to shift your lifestyle. And that doesn’t mean a drastic change to your life. You can start small.
To explain much more than I can, I sat down with the UK's leading doctor, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee.
Dr. Chatterjee is a medical doctor who decided to rethink the way we do medicine. He’s decided that physicians need to be more holistic in their approach to treating patients and help their lifestyle as opposed to just giving them a quick fix.
He has become the star of the hit BBC series Doctor in the House where he analyzes every aspect of people’s lives to help with their illness.
Dr. Chatterjee has made it his goal to simplify the way the average person thinks about healthcare.
He’s divided health into four easy pillars that allow anyone with a chronic disease to retake control of their lives.
Learn the root cause of most chronic diseases, how to let technology empower us, and the key indicator of how well you will age, on Episode 634.
Some Questions I Ask:
Why are people not the best they can be? (5:38)
You said a disease is an illusion, why is that? (10:16)
What’s usually the root cause of people’s chronic disease? (21:17)
It’s important to build muscle mass? (33:48)
How come medical school isn’t teaching the two most important things to change someone’s health? (39:24)
Is there anything in your health that’s lacking? (50:00)
When’s the last time you meditated? (52:03)
Are you doing a digital detox at night? (54:11)

633 Let Go of Ego with Ryan Holiday
“CULTIVATE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO TELL YOU YOU THE TRUTH.”
Whether you want to admit it or not, you have an ego. Everyone does.
We tend to put a bad connotation on it, but in truth a little ego is healthy. Ego can be confidence about yourself and what you do.
It can be a challenge if you become successful, because people become afraid of telling you the truth and pointing out your flaws.
To keep growing, however, you must surround yourself with people who aren’t afraid to tell you the uncomfortable truths in a polite way.
And if you truly respect someone with power over you, you’ll do the same.
To go deeper into this, I am bringing back a strong segment from a previous episode with Ryan Holiday.
Ryan is a writer and media strategist. When he was 19 years old, he dropped out of college to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power.
He went on to become the director of marketing for American Apparel. His creative agency, Brass Check, has advised clients like Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as many prominent bestselling authors, including Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins and Tim Ferriss (and me).
He has worked with huge egos in his career, but what I love about Ryan is his willingness to take on his own ego as well.
Learn how to control your ego and help those around you on Episode 633.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
The spectrum of Ego (00:54)
Where confidence comes from (1:33)
How to continue your growth (3:02)

632 Jay Williams: Life is Not an Accident
“WHAT HAPPEN IF I WERE TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH NO EXCUSE?”
When I was injured as a pro athlete I felt I had really lost myself. I felt like my identity was stripped away from me.
I began comparing myself to my past -- to what I could have been. I doubted my entire future.
Chances are you’ve been through something similar. Maybe it was the loss of a job. Maybe you lost someone you depended on emotionally.
I eventually came to a realization. I could continue down this self destructive path, feeling like a helpless victim in a cruel world, or I could take my destiny into my own hands.
In the end, I decided to have faith that maybe this happened for a greater cause. I felt like maybe I was meant for something else. Something more important.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, I had the chance to sit down with someone who knows a lot about having to reinvent themselves: Jay Williams.
If you aren’t familiar with Jay Williams, he’s a former NBA pro. He came from a home that was surrounded by abusive relationships. When he was drafted at a young age, he didn’t know how to handle the fame and money.
His ego got in the way, and he ended up in a motorcycle accident and put his career on hold.
After a long recovery and massive amounts of physical therapy, he wound up back on the court only to suffer from injuries again. And again.
He came to the same cross road: either stay a victim and fall into a life of extreme hardship or take it as a sign he was meant for something else.
Today, Jay Williams is a television personality, motivational speaker, and successful businessman.
He says that his life, the parts that he values the most, started after his accident.
Hear all about his inspirational journey and why it's worth it to believe life happens for a reason, on Episode 632.
Some Questions I Ask:
What would make this the most powerful interview you’ve ever done? (5:40)
What’s your biggest vulnerability? (7:24)
Is there anything you’re still suppressing? (12:38)
How did your father handle working for you? (16:04)
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from your father? (18:47)
You felt like there was less of a team in the pro league? (24:04)
Did you get back on the court for a little bit? (29:12)
What was it like when everyone felt entitled to your money? (48:32)
Why couldn’t you have a conversation with your fiance about everything that was going on? (56:09)

631 Create the Opposite of Hate with Sally Kohn
"Just because hate feels justified doesn't mean it's justifiable." - Sally Kohn
Let's be honest: we've all done things we regret.
They may have been when we were kids or adults. They may have affected just ourselves or many people around us. But it's likely we remember doing them because we regret them.
This is something that's not easy to talk about.
But there's something really valuable in recognizing the parts of ourselves that are capable of doing things we regret.
I recently met a woman who gave a TED talk (and has now written a book) about this exact topic.
Sally Kohn is a CNN commentator who has attracted huge amounts of haters during her career as a political speaker.
As our society has gotten more divided, hate seems to be taking over a lot of actions and discussions.
So Sally decided to do a deep dive study on why we hate and what the opposite of that is.
She talked to her own haters, she traveled to countries that have experienced genocides, and she discussed the psychological pieces of what's going on.
This was a powerful conversation about a topic that isn't always easy to discuss. I really appreciated Sally's willingness and honesty in discussing how we can each shift our habits out of hate and bias and into open-mindedness and respect.
No matter what you've been through or what you believe, I know there's something valuable to learn for all of us in Episode 631.
Some questions I ask:
Do we believe our friend group or the media more? (9:50)
How do we start thinking differently about people [versus relying on bias]? (13:10)
Why did you start working for Fox News with your point of view? (19:30)
How much bullying is happening today in schools? (30:22)
How do we start to repair our habits around how we treat each other? (37:03)
In this episode you will learn:
What getting hate mail taught Sally about her own ability to be mean (3:05)
The difference between our brain's hardware and its software (8:15)
What happens when we wear "masks" to hide our true identity (18:50)
Why it's important to talk to people who believe differently than you do (21:45)
How mass atrocities can happen (and be avoided) (27:20)
Why we don't usually see ourselves as the starters of hate (38:37)
How to forgive and understand haters (40:15)

630 Love Yourself Unconditionally with Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.
"I am not my past, I am not my future. This is the only place I am able to express my will.”
Do you ever have those moments when you replay a certain event in your mind over and over?
It becomes so real, it’s almost like you are there.
You start thinking, “What could I have done differently? Does this make me a bad person? Could I have handled things better?”
I know when this happens I start judging myself. I become my worst critic, obsessing over how I lost my temper here or the person I hurt there.
Ultimately, these moments don’t define us. What does define us is right now.
What we do at this moment is who we are, and as long as we learned from our mistakes we shouldn’t judge ourselves.
We need to forgive ourselves and stop the emotional punishment.
To go more into this I wanted to bring you a clip from Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. for this episode of 5 Minute Friday.
Don Miguel is a master of transformation, and he shares so much wisdom about forgiveness and moving forward with life on Episode 630.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
Why people judge themselves so harshly (00:47)
What it means to forgive yourself (1:23)
How we reward and punish ourselves (1:40)
The illusion of our expectations (2:38)
How to forgive yourself (3:28)

629 The Power of Hope to Heal with Elizabeth Smart
“It’s not what happens to you that defines who you are, it’s ultimately your decisions.” - Elizabeth Smart
There are a lot of heartbreaking things that happen in this world. I’m sure you have your own stories.
Being a victim doesn’t end with the event. It continues on for a lifetime.
In the end, you have no control over what happened to you. There’s no going back. What you do have control over is the decisions you make on the other side -- how you let these tragedies affect you.
You need to not only stay strong but also learn to forgive.
When I say this, I say it from personal experience. I have gone through abuse when I was younger, and I understand how it can disrupt you to your core.
But forgiveness isn’t for them. It’s for you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened is ok. It doesn’t mean you let go of what happened and consider everything to be just fine. It doesn’t eliminate what happened.
Forgiveness is about allowing yourself to move forward as a better person. It’s about growing, rather than letting these events disrupt your life anymore. It’s about becoming stronger and learning from the situation to help others.
There is no one who knows this better than today’s guest on The School of Greatness: Elizabeth Smart.
If you haven’t heard of Elizabeth Smart, she was kidnapped by complete strangers at the age of 14 and held captive for 9 months. She endured nearly every terrible thing you can imagine.
Today, Elizabeth is a NYT best-selling author and has dedicated her life to bringing empowerment to survivors and awareness to these crimes.
On this episode, we discuss the biggest lessons she’s learned about forgiveness, her definition of hope, the importance of owning your story, and the biggest lesson she learned from her captors.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 629.
What’s been the biggest lesson about forgiveness for you? (6:23)
If you could go back to that day would you wish it didn’t happen, or do you feel like you’re better off because of what you learned? (10:42)
What was the feeling when you saw your family for the first time? (12:32)
Do you feel like you’re still healing today? (16:20)
What if you feel there is no hope? (17:32)
Does someone who commits these crimes have no hope for a meaningful life? (19:26)
Is there anything that you’ve given up hope on? (25:03)
Do you believe in people? (27:42)
What’s the reason to keep going when things are dark? (29:18)
If what we go through doesn’t define us, what does define us? (32:09)
How long it took Elizabeth to forgive and move on (9:46)
The biggest fear for Elizabeth during her abduction (12:00)
What gave her hope while being held captive (14:13)

628 Understand Your Body Through Somatic Intelligence with Chen Lizra
“MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE THINKING TOO MUCH AND FEELING ENOUGH.”
There is a certain art that I feel had been lost over the years in this country, and you may have noticed it too. It’s the art of seduction.
Let me make one thing clear, when I say seduction I don’t mean unwanted flirting. I don’t mean trying to manipulate someone. True seduction is a lore more than that.
Seduction is about selflessly making other people feel good about themselves. Their bodies, their personalities, and everything about them.
It’s also about being aware of your own body. Owning it, being proud of it, and listening to it.
In America we spend so much time on our phones, we’ve lost that seduction between each other. This is a topic that my guest today, Chen Lizra, is an expert on.
Chen Lizra had a wildly successful Ted Talk on the power of seduction. She’s also an award winning entrepreneur, best-selling author, and a professional dancer.
She learned all about the power of seduction while living in Cuba, where she was deeply inspired by the culture of body confidence there. She was able to see how people were able to really connect with each other, lift each other up, and make a true connection with their bodies.
As a result, she has developed a powerful method of teaching body-awareness called somatic intelligence.
I was fascinated during this conversation as she explained (and demonstrated) these principles and how they impact our relationships, our opportunities, and our self-confidence.
Learn all about the power of seduction in our everyday lives, on Episode 628.
Some Questions I Ask:
In your Ted Talk you mention children are taught in America to be more closed off, is that right? (5:20)

627 Let Passion Lead with Steve Cook
LOOK FOR SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERY DAY.
Finding what makes you passionate is something a lot of people struggle with.
We all want to find that thing in life that we are excited to do -- the drive that makes us want to wake up early because we can’t wait to get started.
When you find the energy that your passion creates, it’s your duty to share it with everyone around you.
That’s when you’ll make a real impact and people will remember you. Take care of them, and they’ll end up taking care of you one day.
To go more in depth about the importance of living your passion, I wanted to bring back an episode with Steve Cook for this week’s 5 Minute Friday.
Steve is one of the most recognizable faces in fitness today. He’s an IFBB Pro Men’s Physique Competitor, and spokesmodel for Optimum Nutrition and Bodybuilding.

626 Marriage Secrets from a Divorce Lawyer with James Sexton
“THIS IS THE MOST LEGALLY SIGNIFICANT THING YOU WILL DO, OTHER THAN DYING.”
Marriage is something that is so important to people. In fact, you probably thought about what your wedding would be like as a child.
When people go into a marriage they think so much about their venue, their cake, their guest list -- but they never really think about what they are signing up for.
Marriage is, legally, one of the most important things you can do. You are signing away half of your life.
And there’s nothing wrong with that - if it’s the right person.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, I brought on someone who knows so much about people being with the wrong person and how to set yourself up for a great marriage: NYC divorce attorney James Sexton.
James has intentionally focused his practice on divorce and family law since his graduation from Fordham Law School. In addition to his Juris Doctorate (Law Degree) he has a Master of Arts degree from New York University where he focused his graduate research on the areas of persuasive speech and propaganda studies.
To top it all off, James is the author of the incredibly informative book on marriage, If You’re in My Office, You’re Already Too Late.
On this episode he discusses how a lot of people rush into a serious relationship without ironing out all of the details. He shares the insights he’s learned from thousands upon thousands of failed marriages.
And he shared why he still believes marriage is a good idea.
Learn all of the inside secrets to creating a successful marriage, on Episode 626.
Some Questions I Ask:

625 Transform Your Struggle into Strength with The Bella Twins
THESE SUPERSTAR TWINS COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED THEIR LIFE TODAY.
One of the things I love most about how the world is growing is how the boundary between genders has been crumbling down.
It used to be that a woman’s place was only in the home. More and more that stereotype is being disproven.
Women are entering more and more areas that wouldn’t have been imaginable when I was younger.
When I was a kid, when you’d think wrestlers you’d think Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage.
Now you think of people like today’s guests: Nikki and Brie Bella.
These two sisters are a true inspiration to the next generation of women. They are the definition of girl power and show that anyone can achieve greatness in anything they want.
If you haven’t heard of the Bella Twins, they are WWE Superstars, Reality TV stars, and fashion designers.
I felt so fortunate to sit down with them and have them tell me everything they know about greatness, which is a lot. So much, in fact, that this interview went longer than most episodes.
I couldn’t stop, and I know you’ll love every moment of this one.
Nikki and Brie told me how they went from small town farm girls to superstars. They talk about the adversity they went through, struggling in a toxic home environment, and even Brie losing her high school sweetheart to a drunk driver.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 625.

624 Find Your Flow with Travis Pastrana
DON'T GIVE UP BEFORE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
Have you ever wondered how people can be so great in the moment? How they can go with the flow so perfectly and know exactly how to maneuver a situation in their favor?
Maybe it’s the ability to land that dream client who seemed unattainable.
Maybe it’s being able to nail that trick on a skateboard, just when it seems like things are about to go wrong.
In any case, the secret to your success and ability to go with the flow stems from the same place: failure.
We all fear failure, but in the end it’s what makes us stronger. It means we’ve been testing the space, and working towards our dreams.
To go into this more I wanted to post a clip of a previous episode with Travis Pastrana.
Travis is an amazing athlete of a different type. He’s won gold medals for motocross in the X-Games, and is a phenomenal BMX rider. He even runs his own action sports show: Nitro Circus.
Learn how you can become a master of your own passions, on Episode 624.

623 The Beauty of Breaking with Candice Kumai
“The ones I’m attracted to the most have grit and grace all over them.” - Candice Kumai
I’m sure you’ve had times in your life where you’ve felt broken. You may even be feeling that way now.
In those moments you may feel like you’ve lost the ability to be perfect. You may even feel like there’s no point, that the boat has sailed.
That’s not true.
You have the chance to come out more beautiful of a person than you were before.
In Japanese culture there is something called kintsugi, or golden repair. When someone would break something, especially of value, it would be repaired and finished with gold dust.
These golden cracks were revered, and objects were considered to be even more beautiful than when they were brand new. These golden cracks gave it personality and a new life it wouldn’t have had before.
On this episode of The School of Greatness I bring you a truly inspirational person with so much knowledge and love of applying this concept to ourselves: Candice Kumai.
Candice is a Japanese Polish American who struggled with racism growing up because she was different. She persevered and saw the beauty in herself that made her different from others in her school and used it to become a professional model.
From there Candice made a pivot to become a great chef, where she faced even more scrutiny in her new community for having been a former model.
Candice has developed the unique ability of emotional kintsugi, where she can turn emotional turmoil, racism, and negative situations into golden opportunities. I really appreciated her energy and passion for sharing this idea with as many people as possible.
Beyond being a well-known wellness influencer and chef, Candice has decided it’s time for her to tell the whole story of how wellness can come back into our lives after we experience being broken.
Learn how you too can create beauty from your own personal darkness, on Episode 623.
Some questions I ask:
What was the hardest thing for you to reflect on? (10:16)
Why is it that despite everything America has put them through, the Japanese still love us? (13:03)
You had a relationship for a long time, is that right? (17:13)
How long did you stay in Japan after the breakup? (23:08)
Why did you want to do this type of book? (25:02)
How do you think being broken makes us stronger? (28:47)
What is the biggest problem a lot of Americans face with food and nutrition? (33:05)
How closely related is food to our emotional stability? (41:04)
In this episode you will learn:
How things that were broken can become more beautiful than when they were perfect (6:25)
What Candice experienced as an Asian kid growing up in Southern California (11:44)
Candice’s experience of a breakup and losing a family member at the same time (18:18)
Why Candice was always afraid to be successful (24:11)
The biggest lesson Candice has learned about herself over the last few years (26:37)
Principles we should be thinking about to have wellness all around (30:06)

All of us want to be loved and accepted. It’s how we were brought into this world, and it’s how we should be spending our lives.
I’ve learned that if you want to get love you have to learn to give it, but it’s not always that easy.
I’m sure you’ve found yourself around people who you may find creepy or that may hate on you for seemingly no reason.

This was easily one of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever done.
Bob’s mission is one I truly believe in.
And believe it or not despite everything he’s done he still gets haters on social media.
We discuss how he deals with those haters, how you can love deeper, and how you can overcome your insecurities.

621 Fill Yourself with Energy with Rob Dyrdek
“SUCCESS OR FAILURE, THERE'S A LESSON - AND IT'S ALL HUMBLING.”
I get a lot of people asking how I stay motivated and passionate about all my projects.
It’s honestly one of the simplest secrets I have.
If you want to stay passionate, get things done, and keep on top here’s what you need to do:
Stay curious.
When you are curious about things, you pursue that knowledge to the point of mastery. The more curious you become, the more excited you will be.
That excitement is the key to success. All that energy you build up will charge the people around you.
Energy feeds energy, and when you don’t have energy it’ll lower everyone else’s energy around you.
To help you understand more on the topic I wanted to bring you this clip from a previous episode with Rob Dyrdek.
If you don’t know Rob, he’s another Ohio boy and sensational icon.
He was a pro athlete, former stuntman, and current host of the hit show Ridiculousness.
On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, Rob breaks down his success and how he keeps the passion flowing in everything he pursues.

619 Experience Your Ultimate Potential with Rich Roll
“My desire was to figure out a way to impact the most number of people in the most meaningful way possible.”
Success can have a very tricky definition. You can have the ideal job, make a decent salary, have that sports car you always wanted, and still not really be successful.
To truly be happy, the ultimate meter for success, you need to be doing things that fill you up.
Finding your passion in the world can be the difference between struggling to get out of bed in the morning and being excited to get the day started.
Sometimes you need to stop and ask if you’re really chasing the life you want or chasing something someone else wants of you.
This is a lesson that was hard learned by my latest guest, Rich Roll.
Rich Roll has been on my show twice before, and it was a pleasure having him back.
He battled with an alcohol addiction that ruined his life from the age of 17 to the age of 31, when he finally went to a treatment center. Most people only spend 28 days there. He ended up spending 100.
When he got out, he changed his life. He pursued a career most people would consider ideal and made a great living. The problem was, it wasn’t the life he wanted and it took a toll on him physically.
After having a brush with death in his late 30s, he began living his life for him. Since then, he’s become a successful athlete, motivational speaker, podcast host, and all around incredible human being.
You can hear all about his incredible journey and his plans for the future, on Episode 619.
Some Questions I Ask:
What are some challenges you’ve experienced since this book originally came out? (8:25)
What’s the biggest lesson your wife taught you? (13:58)

616 Dr. Mark Hyman: Heal Your Body with Food
“FOOD IS MEDICINE. IT WORKS FASTER, BETTER, AND CHEAPER THAN ALMOST ANY DRUG.”
I know how hard it is to eat a healthy diet.
It requires time and energy that you often feel like you don’t have. But what if I told you the time and energy you think you don’t have is because of the food you’re currently putting into your body?
It's easy to be skeptical about this idea. But that’s what the food industry wants us to think. It wants us to continue eating its food, not giving a second thought to the sugars and fat we’re putting into our system.
To break free from this mindset, it's really helpful to talk to the experts. And today, I have one of the most knowledgeable people in the field: Dr. Mark Hyman.
Dr. Mark Hyman, M.D. is the founder and medical director of the UltraWellness Center, Director of the Cleveland Clinical Center for Functional Medicine, and the Chairman of the Board of the Institute for Functional Medicine.
He is a New York Times bestselling author with books like 10-Day Detox Diet and Eat Fat, Get Thin. His latest book Food: What The Heck Should I Eat? provides an explanation of the nutritional science around food and why the political, environmental, economic and social issues corrupt our understanding of food.
Dr. Hyman is one of my favorite people to learn about health from because he is so honest about what's going on. Instead of trying to push his own agenda, he's got humanity's best interest at heart.
If you’re looking to learn about the connection between food and energy or how the food industry manipulates what we see on TV, tune into Episode 616 to forever change your eating habits.
Some Questions I Ask:
How does our food impact everything? (6:45)
How does funding affect the public discourse about food? (12:47)
Do you think all inflammation, chronic pain and disease can be eliminated from the foods we eat? (16:30)
Can you gain muscle mass living a fully vegetarian/vegan lifestyle? (20:48)
What are the 3 basic food rules you live by? (24:55)
What do you think the main thing people are feeding themselves that’s hurting them? (30:42)
What’s the biggest challenge you face in your life? (32:13)
Is there anything now you believe in that you think will eventually be debunked? (38:15)

615 Find Your Belief with Jonathan Fields
“Let your personal experience tell you whether your belief is still valid or something has to change.”
One of the most important things you can do is keep your beliefs elastic. This gives your mind the freedom and room to grow if it wants to adopt new principles.
For those who lock into a set of beliefs, they close themselves off to outside influence. When you do this, your mind stops growing.
For this episode of 5 Minute Friday I wanted to bring you this valuable clip from an episode with Jonathan Fields.
Jonathan is the founder of a mission-driven media and education venture called Good Life Project, where he and his team lead a global community in the quest to live more meaningful, connected, and vital lives.
His new book How to Live a Good Life offers a gateway to a life of meaning, connection, and vitality.
Today he shares his insights on why staying open to new beliefs is the ticket to always growing.
If you’re looking to expand your mind, listen here on Episode 615.
“The moment you lock into certainty about your beliefs is the moment you stop growing.”

IF WE’RE FEELING SCARED, IT'S OUR EGO TALKING.
We are holding onto some form of identity, and we’re meeting something that challenges it.
Our ego tells us to get that thing away from us.
But once you realize that it’s your ego talking and not you, then you can face it head-on.
Keeping the wide-angle on your life to be able to see this in real time requires a unique type of self-care.
To give you the tools to have these candid conversations with yourself, I brought on the master of self-honesty: Aubrey Marcus.

In addition, Aubrey hosts the Aubrey Marcus Podcast and is the author of Own the Day: Optimized Practices for Waking, Working, Learning, Eating, Training, Playing, Sleeping, and Sex.

610 Competition, Leadership, and Playing to Win with Coach Urban Meyer
We don't talk about the end all. We talk about how to get there.
Having grown up in Ohio, I have always been a fan of Ohio State University. If you weren't aware, they have the best coach out there: Coach Urban Meyer.
What I love about Coach Meyer is that he doesn't just set up a team for winning in football, he sets them up to win in life.
Even though football is just a game, there is a lot you can learn from it. The power of teamwork, what it means to be a great leader, and what truly defines a loser (hint: it's not losing).
Coach Meyer really sets all of his players up to have a solid career and foundation when they leave university because he doesn't just run a football program. He runs a leadership program.
Coach Meyer has also led an incredible life himself.
He is a 3 time national championship coach and a NY Times bestselling author.

If you're going to have a discussion, be positive about it. Don't tear people down for trying. - Lauren Singer
Have you ever thought about how much trash you create in a day?
My juice comes in plastic bottles, my prepared meals come in plastic containers, my favorite to go meal from my favorite restaurant comes in a plastic bowl in a plastic bag.
It's not just food either, it's everything. When you order something online it comes in a box full of packing products.
It all adds up pretty quick, and once I started to notice how much trash I was creating, I started to wonder about a different solution.

604 Susan David: The Art of Emotional Agility
People have the greatest levels of success when they live and work at the edge of their abilities. - Susan David
All of us want to be happy. Many of us pursue happiness in different ways, and sometimes that includes trying to block out less than happy emotions.
You might have noticed that becoming obsessed with this pursuit can actually make you less happy in the long run.
That's because all emotions are meant to be experienced. They are meant to pass through you, and when you suppress them or try to pretend they aren't there they will just come back to you with a vengeance.
So how do we be truly happy?
That's exactly what Susan David has spent her career studying.
Susan David is a psychologist, originally from South Africa, that has been learning about emotions and people's pursuit of happiness since she lost her father in high school.
She has recently written a best selling book, Emotional Agility, about the importance of every emotion we go through.
Susan also recently gave a Ted Talk that was one of the most successful campaigns to date. It received over a million views within the first week.
I like to think that things come into our lives at the perfect time and for the right reasons. Lately I've been going through some emotional challenges, which I open up about on this episode, and I took so much away from Susan's advice.
I feel privileged to have Susan on this episode and I know you will learn a lot, on Episode 604.

603 Feel Your Heart with Twitch Boss
AT THE END OF THE DAY LOVE IS WHAT MAKES THIS WHOLE THING HAPPEN.

Philip is now running for Governor with a progressive vision to move Florida forward as a leader in the 21st century economy. He wants to revitalize the economy, envisioning a Florida with better-paying jobs, more competitive public schools, and an entrepreneurial approach to protecting our environment.
In the past, he funded his own campaign, refusing money from special interests, and easily won re-election to two terms with a majority of the vote.
On this episode we had a really amazing conversation. Before he was ever in public office, Philip was an entrepreneur, creating multiple companies and scaling them to great success.
He let me in on some incredible information a lot of people don't know about him, including how he gave back to one of the most influential people from his childhood.
Philip goes into detail on how he led a successful election campaign, the lesson he learned from Bill Clinton, and how you can become a better communicator.

601 Guy Winch: How to Heal a Broken Heart
We need to think about feelings and how we respond to them as something we have control over.
I have had a lot of injuries in my life. I've even had a physical injury that destroyed my sports career. Honestly, that was nothing compared to some of the emotional injuries I've been through.
We all tend to neglect our emotional injuries. We push them off and consider ourselves as wimps or over-emotional. In reality, these injuries are extreme. They need to be cared for like any broken bone.
If we continue to ignore our heartbreaks, that pain will never heal. It will carry with us for years, or even decades.
On this episode of The School of Greatness I'm joined again by the amazing psychologist, Guy Winch, to discuss emotional pain -- whether it's from a break up, the loss of a loved one, or any other negative feelings that may be holding you back in life.
Dr. Guy Winch, is a licensed psychologist, author, and in-demand keynote speaker whose books have been translated into twenty-four languages.
Dr. Winch's viral TED Talk, Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid, has been viewed over 5 million times and is rated among the top 5 most inspiring talks of all time on TED.com.
His upcoming book, How to Fix a Broken Heart, just came out and that's what we dove into in this episode.
Previously on the show (way back in year 1), we talked about the idea of "emotional first aid" and how important it is for us to learn how to heal our emotional injuries just like we do our physical ones.
However, as Guy pointed out, heartbreak is a special kind of emotional pain and there are certain behaviors that support us in healing from this (and many that don't.)
Learn how to understand yourself and your friends in heartbreak, and heal the healthy way, on Episode 601.
Some Questions I Ask:
How do we communicate with someone who has a broken heart? (7:02)
Should we feel embarrassed for grieving? (12:32)
What are examples of some things people do with feelings thare ok, or that they shouldn't be doing? (14:21)
What are thoughts we should be having after a heartbreak? (18:30)
What's the best approach to process the feelings? (25:36)
What's the best way for friends to reach out to someone going through a heartbreak? (31:08)
What's the longest it took you to get over a romantic relationship? (40:15)
What's the biggest lesson you've learned about yourself from 20 years of psychology? (43:10)
What do you think is holding you back from doing what you want to do faster? (47:03)
Has there ever been a challenge someone brought to you that you didn't feel like you could find a solution for? (52:00)
In This Episode You Will Learn:
What happens if you don't process your heartbreak (10:36)
The stupid feelings Dr. Winch has (13:02)
The time frame for when someone should be able to get back to a normal life after a heartbreak (16:32)
The best process for when you breakup with someone (21:42)
Which is harder to recover from, an emotion or a physical injury (27:34)
A serious heartbreak that took Dr. Winch a long time to recover from (35:45)
What's the greatest part about being a psychologist for Dr Winch (41:32)
The greatest challenge Dr. Winch faces in his life right now (44:34)
A common theme he's learned about people (49:00)

599 Nina Dobrev: The Balance of Acting, Advocacy, and Using Your Voice
Other people won't make me happy, it has to be from within me. - Nina Dobrev
One of the things that even I struggle with is being complacent. It's easy for all of us to feel comfortable where we are in life and settle for what we have.
In fact, it can be scary to try to push things even further.
Breaking out of that comfort zone and continuing to grow is the difference between being average and being great.
Anytime you feel comfortable, that means you're not challenging yourself and it's time to make a shift. Maybe you need a new job or just to find ways to push yourself further.
On this episode of The School of Greatness, we are joined by an inspirational and amazing actress, Nina Dobrev. She's spent her whole life pushing the boundaries and keeps challenging herself any chance she can.
You probably know Nina from the hit show The Vampire Diaries. Nina was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. She moved to Canada at the age of two and has lived in Toronto, Ontario ever since. From a very young age, she showed great enthusiasm and talent for the arts: Dance, Gymnastics, Theatre, Music, Visual arts, and Acting!
Modeling jobs led to commercials, which then turned into film auditions. Shortly after, she booked roles in the feature films Fugitive Pieces, Away from Her and the popular television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation.
We've become good friends over the past couple of years, and I'm constantly impressed by how Nina decides to push herself. Through all of her work, acting is her passion, and she sees it as an adventure that has just begun; she believes that the journey and the characters we create along the way will help us understand ourselves.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 590.

I truly believe that one of the most important things we have in this world is our voice. All of us need to speak up without fear, without apologizing, and show the world we care.

That's one of the reasons I decided to go back and bring you this past episode with Sekou Andrews.
Sekou is an incredible spoken word poet who has performed in front of huge audiences. In this clip, he shares a very powerful and inspirational spoken word poem about using our voices for good.

596 Tererai Trent: Awaken to Your Full Potential and Achieve the Impossible
"I REALIZED THE PATHWAY I WAS GOING THROUGH WAS SILENCING ME.
I've learned that greatness can come from anywhere, everywhere, or anyone. It all starts with a dream, a vision. Of course one of the secrets is never giving up, but the biggest one is that it needs to be yours.
You need to know that your goals are your goals, not something pushed on you by someone else.
No matter where you are in your life, or what obstacles appear in your way, you can achieve it. I believe this now more than ever after sitting down with our most recent guest, Tererai Trent.
Tererai was born in Zimbabwe, was forced into marriage as a child, and even gave birth to 4 children by the time she was 18. She came from a place where education wasn't an opportunity given to women.
Tererai ended up pushing through so many obstacles and now had a PhD - and that's just the beginning of her incredible accomplishments.
Tererai was named by Oprah as her All-Time Favorite Guest and received a $1.5 million donation to rebuild her childhood elementary school in recognition of her tenacity and never-give-up attitude. With the firm belief that education is the pathway out of poverty and a desire to give back to her community, she founded Tererai Trent International.
Eleven schools are being built in Zimbabwe and education has been improved for over 5,000 children so far. And this is only the beginning.
Today, Dr. Trent is invited to speak all over the world, to share her remarkable story and the valuable lessons she has learned along the way. She just came out with a new book all about empowering women to awaken to their full potential (she is the poster child of this). Her favorite motto is Tinogona, meaning, It is achievable!
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 596.
Some Questions I ask:
What interested you in agriculture? (16:15)
What made you bring your 5 children and your abusive husband to America? (17:20)
What was it like when you met the same woman who inspired you 14 years later? (26:26)

595 Gary Vaynerchuk: Insecurity, Fame, and Crushing It in Business
NO ENTREPRENEUR CAN BE SUCCESSFUL WITH SOMEONE WHO ISN'T INDEPENDENT
As you know, it's important to continually grow (especially if you're an entrepreneur). I'm not excluded from that. Ten years ago I read a book by Gary Vaynerchuk that changed the course of my life.
On this episode of the School of Greatness, Gary returns to the show for his third time. He gives me advice for my next ten years but also gives you invaluable advice on so many topics that you won't hear anywhere else.
Gary is known for his unapologetic truth-telling attitude. He says a lot of things on social media that people may feel are harsh or extreme. But when we were talking, Gary revealed he actually cares deeply about what people think about him. And that's why he's so committed to serving people with hard-earned business wisdom in the long run.
He explains why teenage nerds are winning right now, how hitting the big lists isn't what matters in business, and why you need an independent person in a romantic relationship.
If you aren't familiar with Gary, you're missing out. Gary is a serial entrepreneur and the CEO and co-founder of VaynerMedia, a full-service digital agency servicing Fortune 500 clients.
Gary rose to prominence in the late 90's after establishing one of the first e-commerce wine sites, WineLibrary, helping his father grow the family business from 4 to 60MM in sales.
Gary is also one of the most sought-after public speakers alive today. He is a venture capitalist, 4-time New York Times bestselling author, and an early investor in companies such as Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, and Uber.
You'll learn everything you need to know about how to become the best of the best, on Episode 595.
Some questions I ask:
How are you affected emotionally when you see yourself aging? (9:32)
Did business get better for you when you got married and started having kids? (16:52)

592 Danica Patrick: Mindset, Spirituality and Living Fully
"If you don’t try hard enough at something, people could knock you down for it.”
I recently had a friend tell me I needed to do an interview with someone special. I’m always hesitant on suggestions, but my friend has done thousands of interviews and he said in his top five was Danica Patrick.
I felt I had to give her a shot and I’m so glad I did. She and I are on the same wavelength. We’re both into sports, consider ourselves to be spiritual people, and believe so much in the power of the mind.
Danica has a strong presence you can feel the moment she walks into the room and yet she is still one of the sweetest and most thought-provoking people I’ve met. She’s had so many insightful things to say.
For those of you who don’t know her, Danica Patrick dropped out of high school to pursue a career as a race car driver. In 2005, Patrick became the first woman to hold the lead during the Indianapolis 500.
Only three years later, she was the first woman to record a win on the IndyCar circuit. After switching to stock cars, Patrick won the time trials at the 2013 Daytona 500 - becoming the first woman to win the pole position at NASCAR.
Patrick has become one of the most recognizable athletes in the to world, having graced the cover of ESPN: The Magazine and TV Guide. She was also featured in the 2008 and 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She has appeared in 14 Super Bowl commercials (more than any other celebrity).
She’s not only an amazing figure in the world of sports, but she’s also a great author and mentor. She’s just released her newest book, Pretty Intense, that brings light to living health from mind, to body, to diet.

"If the last day of my life came, and people were sitting around me, I would say ‘Smile, because I made it to the other side.’” - Ray Lewis

589 My Success Habits, Rituals and Morning Routine
HOW YOU START AND END YOUR DAY MATTERS.
I get a lot of questions from listeners about what my morning routine, daily habits and nighttime routines look like.
So I decided it was time to record a solo episode answering this exact question so that anyone who asks can get a quick answer :)
The truth is, I believe that healthy, consistent routines make a massive difference in our daily performance and our long term health and happiness.
So even though I'm not perfect at following mine every day, I know what a big impact it makes when I do.
Keep in mind that these are just my routines.
I've developed them over years of trial and error. Some I got from playing sports, some from studying optimal health, some from going to meditation training, and some from friends.
They all serve me, but what I hope you do after listening to this episode is choose habits that serve YOU.
Habits are only as useful as the results we get from them, so I invite you to experiment with your own habits until you find ones that work.
Here are my favorite ones in Episode 589.
In this episode you will learn:
What time I wake up (5:45)

588 Choose What Lights You Up with Scooter Braun
"WHAT’S THE POINT OF GOING AFTER ANYTHING THAT'S REASONABLE? THAT’S NOT GRATIFYING.”
I used to believe that money was the answer to happiness. When you spend all of your time chasing the dollar, it bring you emptiness.
The real reason to chase after money is so you can have the freedom you need to experience life’s beautiful moment.
Chasing the endless dollar is just as bad as being stuck in a cubicle all day. Money is great, but you have to use it to achieve your higher purpose and do the things that actually bring you happiness.
This got me thinking about a past episode I did with Scooter Braun, who gave amazing insights to what wealth really means and how to achieve true happiness.
Discover what exactly it takes to have wealth in all aspects of life, on Episode 588.
In this episode you will learn:
The mentality you need to have about money (00:51)
How you really achieve happiness (2:12)
What you are really working hard for (3:03)
Your chances of being super successful (4:36)
What you need to do to be in the top 1% (6:25)

586 The Keys to Persuasion and Powerful Self - Confidence with Ed Mylett
"THINGS HAPPEN FOR YOU, NOT TO YOU.”
As you know my biggest goal is to serve you. I really dedicate every day to trying to help as many people as I can.
When I get on a stage I try to speak to each individual person in the crowd. I try to reach out to every member of the audience and truly help them. I want them to take action, and leave with the tools they need to change their life.
I’ve been fortunate enough to become friends with an amazing speaker that is of the same mindset - Ed Mylett. If you haven’t heard of Ed before, you’ve been missing out.
“People respond to what they feel, not what they hear and see.”
Ed started out with the dream of playing professional baseball. But like so many of us, an injury changed his course in life.
Instead, his first job out of college was helping boys at a foster home who came from abused families. It’s here he found is life mission: to serve.
He saw in the eyes of these boys that they just wanted what everyone wants - to be loved and appreciated. This ended up taking him down the road of servitude later in life.
Today, Ed is one of the premier business leaders, peak performance experts, and motivational speakers in the world. He has a passion for mentoring and coaching others on what it takes to become a champion in all areas of life.
He has shared the stage and has very close personal relationships with other business legends such as Tony Robbins, John Maxwell, Phil Knight and many others.
Hear his insights on life, public speaking, and so much more on Episode 586.

585 Think Like a Billionaire with Dean Graziosi
"SUCCESS IS EASIER THAN PEOPLE THINK."
I used to think that being a billionaire meant you had to be super smart, super cool, or even superhuman. None of these things are true.
If you want to be a billionaire you have to be passionate, enthusiastic, and dedicated. That’s all.
When you persevere past the point when most people give up, you’ll find that there’s not much competition at the top.
Sometimes what holds you back, and has even held me back in the past, are your thoughts. Your insecurities and negativity are just that: thoughts.
To dive more into this, I am bringing out a previous episode with Dean Graziosi. Dean is a NY Times bestselling author, THE top real estate trainer, and an incredible author and speaker. He knows what it takes to reach our full potential.
And it’s something anyone can do.
Learn how you can make simple shifts to reach the top on Episode 585.

584 How to Win in Business and Life (8 Keys to 2018)
"WITHOUT YOU THE WORLD WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME."
The new year is here, and I am so excited.
You know how important I think creating a clear vision for your life is.
So I wanted to record this solo round at the start of this year to share my top tips for creating an incredible year.
And you guessed it, it starts with creating a clear vision.
I broke down the 8 areas of life that I believe are the most important ones to have a vision for.
This doesn't mean that these are all of the things you should focus on, but it does mean that these are the ones I've found to make the biggest impact in my life.
I stick to these key areas each year and they haven't failed me yet.
My invitation to you as you listen to this episode is to write down the ones that really stick out to you.
What areas can you push yourself in this year? What areas are you already excelling in? What areas are things you've never focused on?
I want to hear about your vision for your year! Let me know @lewishowes on social media once you write it down.
Let's make this year the best it can be by creating a strategy. Learn how in Episode 584.
The 8 Keys to Winning in Business and Life
Health (physical + emotional) -- Do something everyday that is uncomfortable for your physical or emotional health. Build that muscle up so you can live a long time in happiness without pain from both.
Relationships - When you connect to the heart of everyone around you, it may take more energy and time from you, but it will make you the richest person in the world.
Finances - Create your money vision for the year and start mapping it out
Clarity for your vision - Create Strategy and Schedule (I’m using a planner that is world's first personalized productivity system based on your brain type!)
Growth mindset - To reach your vision it will require the mind of a child and wanting to be curious and learning.
Build your team - Finding accountability/coaching/tribe. What are the communities you are part of that will inspire you to be bigger than yourself?
Play/Adventure - Remember to live and experience life without being focused on productivity…. Play!
Win/Win/Win - Company wins, customers win, community wins. Leave people better than how you found them.

583 Build a Billion Dollar Brand with Revolve Co-Founder Michael Mente
"IT’S ALL ABOUT SHOWING PEOPLE A GENUINELY GOOD TIME."
Being an entrepreneur is one of the most difficult tasks you can take on. In fact, some people find it soul crushing if not done right. When done properly, though, it can be the greatest thing you can do in your life.
Starting as an entrepreneur means knowing what you really want to do, what your passion is and how to deliver that to consumers. It’s not about pushing it on them but listening to them and seeing how you can serve them.
Most entrepreneurs stop as soon as they hit success and sell off their company, but not all of them. On this episode, we are joined by Michael Mente, who has been successful since 2003 when he helped create the incredibly popular clothing company: REVOLVE.
“All we are doing is listening to the consumer and giving them what they want.”
Michael Mente dropped out of an Entrepreneur program at the University of Southern California to become an entrepreneur by profession. He’s Currently the CEO and Co-Founder of Revolve and is set to bring in $400 million in sales this year. His company is considered the one-stop shop for clothing items designed by some of the hottest emerging designers.
Over the years, Michael began developing organic relationships with bloggers to represent the brand on a more realistic level. To do so, Revolve regularly holds trips for influencers to gather, relax, and recreate the lifestyle of an ideal Revolve customer.
Michael saw a gap between affordable and high end items, which provided grounds for him to create an online shopping experience that falls in the middle. Supporting up-and-coming designers and digital influencers has become the core of Revolve’s growth and they decided to expand their digital offerings by launching a sister company, FORWARD, in 2008. Since then FORWARD has grown to become a powerhouse in fashion and has become the go-to place for premier luxury fashion.
I loved Michael's humble wisdom about what it has taken to create this kind of success in such a competitive industry.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 583.

582 Build Your Confidence with Jordan Harbinger
"Our first impressions are always made non-verbally”
One of my favorite guests I’ve had on this show is Jordan Harbinger, from The Art of Charm.
Previously, he gave great advice on how to leave the right first impression, and most importantly it’s not made through what we say.
So little of the impression we give off is through our words. Our body language, says so much more than anything that comes out of our mouths.
This 5 Minute Friday will give you tips to build your confidence and create the impression you want, on Episode 582.
In this episode you will learn:

581 Gabrielle Bernstein: The Judgment Detox
"JUDGMENT COMES FROM THE MOMENT OF SEPARATION.”
One thing I’ve always struggled with in life is feeling like I was being judged. I was afraid of what people would think of me, and I felt I had an image I needed to keep up. I’m sure you can relate.
I discovered that this was caused more by judgment of myself. I was judging everything I did right, and everything I did wrong. Anything I did wrong I would beat myself up for.
One thing I’ve been working on is letting go of judgment. I try to observe when it’s there, and not have any emotional attachment to it. It’s amazing how much the world can change when judgment isn’t in the picture.
"Judgment is toxic and holds us back from living our lives.”
On this episode of The School of Greatness we are joined by Gabrielle Bernstein.

Gabrielle is a certified Kundalini yoga and meditation teacher. She is also trained in the Emotional Freedom Technique and she’s a student of Transcendental Meditation, as taught by the David Lynch Foundation.
YouTube chose Gabrielle as one of its 16 YouTube Next Video Bloggers. Mashable included her in its list of 11 Must-Follow Twitter Accounts for Inspiration. Forbes called her one of the 20 Best-Branded Women.
Gabby is here to talk about her newest book, Judgment Detox, Release the beliefs that hold you back from living a better life, that is being released in January 2018.
She gives amazing insights on how to control the feeling of judgment and find inner peace and respect for yourself on Episode 581.

580 How to Set Boundaries to Build Thriving Relationships with Chris Lee
“CREATING BOUNDARIES IS NOT ABOUT CREATING A WALL, IT'S CREATING AN AGREEMENT.”
There’s a lot going on in this world lately, with relationships being violated. We’re seeing it daily with the #MeToo movement, and so many people in Hollywood coming forward.
Problems aren’t just occurring in intimate relationships, but in business, family, friendships, and so on. Almost all of this stems from boundaries being crossed.
Boundaries are something that we all need to create and stand by. But we can’t just create them, we need to communicate them. We need to make sure the people in our lives are clear about our boundaries, and express ourselves the moment that they are crossed.
You are a beautiful person, and worth the best - so make sure others are aware of that.
I know it’s hard, and that you probably worry about being fired or losing someone close to you. You can’t be, because that job or that relationship isn’t make you happy. Losing it will open you up to new possibilities.
The worst-case scenario about expressing and honouring your barriers is that things will get better - even if it means moving on.
On this episode, we are joined again by the amazing Chris Lee. Chris has been on my show more than anyone else, a total of 13 times since episode 36.
Each time we have him on the air he gives amazing insights, and he has been by my side through some amazing transformations. He’s helped me come out about my past, and build better and stronger relationships in all aspects of my live.
Chris is a man on a mission committed to transforming the world one heart at a time. Chris Lee has spent over 25 years of his life transforming the lives of thousands of people worldwide through his workshops, coaching, and participation in all media, teaching people how to live an abundant prosperous life.
He joins us today to give insights on how to increase yourself worth, learn to set boundaries, and how to build the most important relationship - with yourself on Episode 580.
Some Questions I Ask:
How do we take responsibility for the relationships we want? (12:34)
What are things people can do to develop self-worth? (14:51)
Should we write down our relationship goals? (19:10)
What if you’re in a relationship with a bully or a decision maker? (23:34)
Would you say someone who does not create boundaries is saying they don’t value their self-worth? (29:23)
Why is it such a big fear for us to lose someone? (37:32)
Why are we so afraid to be alone? (45:05)

577 How to Connect with Influencers, Thought Leaders and Decision Makers
"FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS WHO REALLY INSPIRE YOU."
Wrapping up this year, I'm doing an inventory of what's worked in my life and business in 2017.
Similar to the last Coffee Conversations with Cesar, I wanted to go over one of the most important keys to the success I've experienced this past year.
Partnerships have been a massive key to my success.
The podcast has grown because of the key people I’ve met and had on the show.
Some of those relationships have grown into amazing business opportunities and big win/win moments.
So I wanted to do a solo round on what I've learned through the years about connecting and building powerful relationships with influencers.
I haven't heard a lot of people talk about the best ways to do this -- but I have seen a lot of what doesn't work going on.
So in this episode, I cut straight to the truth and get real.
My intention is to shine the light on what actually does work so that you can create quality relationships.
If you hear me say things you've never heard anyone else say in this, let me know! I'm always interested in your feedback.
Here's the truth about building relationships with influencers the right way in Episode 577.
In this episode you will learn:
The 3 C’s to remind you to connect with thought leaders:
Chill - Let them know what they’ve done has inspired you in some way (3:50)
Curiosity - Ask thoughtful questions about the things that matter the most to them right now (5:42)
Care - Be of service, give on something specific, find a way to tap into their heart (7:22)
How to email someone:
Research them (13:35)
Find 3 points of connection (14:58)
Make it about what you can do for them (17:54)
What not to do: (18:37)
Don’t ask for advice
Don’t ask for a favor
Don’t ask to pick their brain
Don’t ask to work for free

"GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE IMPERFECT.”
We all want to have success, and the one thing I’ve discovered is that most people don’t know what that means.
Success has many definitions, and knowing them will help to keep you on track.
On this episode, I’ve teamed up with Fearless Motivation to help inspire you to find your definition and inspire you to take action in pursuing it.
So, get out there, get moving, and achieve the success you want with a little help from this Five Minute Friday, Episode 576.

575 Coffee Conversations: Top 7 Takeaways from 2017
"YOU HAVE A GIFT INSIDE OF YOU, SOMETHING UNIQUE TO OFFER TO THE WORLD. NO ONE ELSE WILL BE YOU."
Back by popular demand, Cesar and I sat down again this week to record a third round of what we are calling "Coffee Conversations."
This was a fun one because 2017 has been an incredible year for our business, the School of Greatness brand, the podcast, and much more.
I thought it would be cool to go over the top takeaways and lessons I learned this year from all the experiences I've had.
I also love hearing Cesar's take on what we've done and where we are headed.
A few of the things we talk about might surprise you, but most of what I learned this year is confirming things that have proved true year after year in my career as an entrepreneur.
The more I think about what makes businesses continue to grow and be successful, the more I realize that when I focus, commit, and execute on what I've committed to, the results come.
Even when craziness is happening all around, even when things are uncertain, even when I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone, if I am clear on what I'm creating and commit to the process, good things still happen.
I hope these takeaways serve you in some way in your own goals, business, or challenges you are taking on in 2018.
I can't wait to see what we create next as you'll hear us discuss in Episode 575 with Coffee Conversations.
In this episode you will learn:
The biggest wins I achieved this year in my business (0:45)
The Top 7 Takeaways from 2017 for me:

573 Keep Your Head Up with Andy Grammer
"IT’S A SWEET DEFIANCE TO FOLLOW YOUR PURPOSE.”
Music is something that’s always been in my life. I love it. I used to sing in school, and I’m fascinated with people who pushed through the toughest times of the art to make their dreams become a reality.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Andy Grammer on a past episode and there’s a lot he’s said that has stuck with me.
When the universe seems like it’s telling you to stop and give up, that’s when you have to push even harder and let it know your serious. That’s exactly what Andy Grammer did.
His dedication brought him from busking on the streets of Santa Monica to being a multi-platinum artist.
I hope you’re as inspired by his story as I was, on Episode 573.

572 Rachel Platten: Never Give Up on Your Dreams
"IT’S NOT ABOUT ME, IT'S ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OF ENERGY ON STAGE.”
So many times we give up on our dreams because of deadlines we put on ourselves. There have been plenty of moments when I felt like things were taking too long or like I was getting too old. It’s those moments we need to look within and understand why we are doing it. Find our real purpose.
Do you want to be an author to hit the New York Times bestseller list or because you want to have people read your work? Is it because you want your message out there or so that you can make your profile bio look great? My feeling is that your purpose should always be to serve. Serving other people brings fulfillment to yourself. Reaping the material rewards is just a bonus.
Remember, you’re never too old. It’s never too late for your dreams to come true. Our guest today, Rachel Platten, didn’t reach her mega-success in music until she was 32 - when most people would have given up on their dreams. Rachel is an incredibly hard working person. She kept pushing and pursuing her dreams for over ten years before anyone noticed. She was doing small intimate gigs and performing for people in hospitals.
When her hit song Fight Song came out it wasn’t an instant success. She was devastated and lost in her definition of success.
She was certain it would sell millions of records and hit the charts. After reaching an all-time emotional low, feeling her only chance passed her by, she began to reflect on herself.
The reason she got into making music was because she loved it for herself and she loved the connection it gave her with people. She came to the conclusion that playing hospitals and small venues was enough for her to feel happy. After that revelation, it was only a few weeks later that her song became a hit. She let go of her ego and trusted in the process. Doesn't sound like coincidence to me.
Discover all of Rachel's incredible story and much more, on Episode 572.

571 From Drug Addict to Whole30 Founder: Melissa Hartwig
"I FELT LIKE I HAD TO CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME AND MY LIFE TO STAY CLEAN”
So many of us feel like we struggle with our weight. We search for diets and end up getting frustrated with them because the rules are hard to follow or they simply don’t work because there’s no 'one size fits all' solution.
A while back I discovered a great, easy to use program called Whole30. It explains, step by step, how you can find the diet program that works for you.
There’s a lot of people out there whose diet is making them sick. Maybe your friends can eat grains, but you can’t. Whole30 is designed to help you find exactly what YOU need.
This system is one that felt so good I took it way past the 30-day mark.
But the woman behind it is even more incredible.

570 Find Your Confidence with Mel Robbins
"CONFIDENCE IS THE WILLINGNESS TO TRY.”

On this Five Minute Friday I felt I HAD to bring you this tip from our episode with Mel Robbins.
She’s a bestselling author, a former criminal defense attorney, a CNN commentator, happily married for 20 years, and a mom of 3 kids. She also has a 7-figure speaking business and is an inspiration of mine.
Mel was easily one of my favorite interviews, and I know this is a tool that can launch you further than you ever expect.

569 My Journey of Reclaiming Masculinity
"I DIDN’T HAVE THE COURAGE TO EXPRESS WHAT I WANTED - WHAT I NEEDED.”
Lately I’ve been traveling around doing a book tour for The Mask of Masculinity. I always like to do a Q&A with my audiences to learn more about them and help answer any questions that may not be in the book.
I recently recorded my talk in Los Angeles with an amazing group. They really dug deep and asked a lot of great questions, including a lot about my past.
My book can only fit so much information and was written to help others more than be a biography.
So I wanted to share with you this special talk. I really open up and practice what I preach. I talk about my father and open up about how he affected my life. I also share how I’m still learning, how I keep myself on track to keep my aggression in check, and much more, on Episode 569.

"WEALTH IS THE ABILITY TO FULLY EXPERIENCE LIFE”
Lately so many people have been asking me about how to make more money.
In fact 3 of my top 6 episodes are about money. Another 3 of my top 10 episodes are about habits.
It got me thinking that there really is a correlation between money and the things that people do. I decided to address this for all of you and teach you what I’ve learned studying all of the wealthy people around me.
I’m also willing to share my personal habits that have contributed to my success.
So if you’re looking to find out about the habits that made people rich and kept them on top, don’t wait to download Episode 568.

567 Be a Warrior with JP Sears
"GROWTH DOESN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COMFORT ZONE, IT HAPPENS IN OUR UNCOMFORT ZONE.”
I know him as a comedian with great videos, but were you aware at how inspiring JP Sears is?
He puts himself out on the line every day, purposefully making himself look silly and taking chances. He doesn’t let fear get in his way, he embraces it.
It’s normal for all of us to become scared, and hold ourselves back. That doesn’t create happiness, though. It creates comfort.
If you want to be happy, take a lesson from JP Sears on this episode of Five Minute Friday, pulled from a previous interview. He discusses how fear isn’t something we should be pushing away from. It’s what we need to embrace in order push ourselves further, find out who we really are, and achieve the true happiness we want.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 567.

"IF YOU CAN'T ADAPT TO THINGS YOU WILL FAIL OR SUFFER. - EMILY SKYE
Do you ever feel like you're in a dark place? Do you struggle and find that you keep comparing yourself to others?
You're not alone, and it's natural. Even I find myself comparing my body to other guys on Instagram and feeling like I'm not adding up - and I'm a fit, healthy guy.
The key is to shift our mindset. Don't feel like you are competing with them. Look at them for inspiration and motivation. If they can achieve it, you can too.
There's a secret that really helps make this shift, and it's critical that we do it in our media flooded world.

565 Novak Djokovic: Becoming #1 in the World and Overcoming the Odds
If you find your purpose, you're going to give purpose to others. - Novak Djokovic
With everything going on in the world I think it's important now more than ever to spread hope, love, and inspiration.
Today's guest is the very definition of all of those things.
Novak Djokovic grew up during two wars in Serbia. As a child, he would be woken up at 2 am to alarms going off and be forced to head to a safe place. He saw the night's sky turn to light as he heard and felt the rumble of bombs being dropped around him.
Through all of this Novak didn't turn to hate. Instead he turned to love and passion. He became the #1 tennis champion in the world.

563 Achieve the Unthinkable with Naveen Jain
"People who are great at anything they do don't do it for the money. The money is just a byproduct of achieving greatness.
Have you ever looked up at the moon and wondered what it's like to walk on its surface?
It's fascinating to think of going there on vacation and seeing the world from a new perspective - literally.
The only reason why it hasn't happened yet is that people haven't found the monetary value in it.
Most people think of the moon as a big deserted rock without much purpose, not to mention how expensive and hard it is to get there. You'd sound like a crazy dreamer to say that that is going to change anytime soon.
Our guest today not only sees the moon in a different light, but he has found a way to get us there very soon.

562 Reach Your Full Potential with John Brenkus
"People who are great at anything they do don't do it for the money. The money is just a byproduct in achieving greatness. - John Brenkus
As I'm sure many of you know, I'm pretty big on sports.
I love everything about it. The challenge of the games, the sense of being part of a team, and even the science behind how it works. It's always fascinated me.
Why is it some people can excel at sports, while others fall short no matter how hard they try?
It's not just a matter of genes and physical strength. In fact, someone's natural mind set under pressure also has a lot to do with it.
When you talk to Super Bowl Champions, no matter how much pressure is on them, it's just a game. If they win or lose, they go home to their families and they know life will go on.
To most of us that kind of pressure would cause us to live in the moment, we'd be stuck in our heads, and end up costing us the big game.

561 Make Mistakes with Dr. Oz
"If you make no mistakes in life, it's going to be a pretty tedious experience" - Dr. Oz

On this 5 Minute Friday, Dr. Oz talks about the mistakes that he has made in life as well as in the operating room, where the difference can be life and death.
While the emotional toll of mistakes can be immense, they show us that we are on the road to success, as we learn from them and overcome what caused the mistake next time we face it.
I want to remind you that mistakes are an essential part of your path to greatness, on this 5 Minute Friday, Episode 561.

560 Les Brown: Overcome All Odds and Change the World
"Never make a point without a story, and never tell a story without a point. - Les Brown
I am so excited to finally be releasing this episode with the amazing Les Brown on The School of Greatness.
Les is a motivational speaker who doesn't just help people find inspiration, but helps them achieve greatness, and I think that this conversation will help you get a little closer to greatness, too.
Les and his twin brother were adopted as infants and never knew their biological parents. They were raised by a single woman who was strong enough to do it all on her own.
As a child, Les was diagnosed as mentally disabled, and referred to as DT - the dumb twin. He let this story everyone told him hold him back and keep him from achieving greatness.
One day, in a class room, all of that changed.

Bozoma or Boz has lead an incredible and inspiring life. She grew up in Africa, learned to speak three languages, and has pushed through so many hardships it's absolutely amazing.
Boz started her early career working for Spike Lee. She started by getting coffee, and doing everything needed around the office (including fixing the coffee machine). By chance one day she was given a script to look over, and the notes she made instantly boosted her career into an expert of branding and campaign management.
She went on to lead marketing at Pepsi, which became an era of her life when she went through her toughest personal struggle. Her husband was diagnosed with cancer, and only had six months left to live...

I started noticing Najwa's Instagram posts for months before I met her.
Her voice and thoughts were so compelling, I felt like she was speaking the exact feelings of my heart.
When I met her in Toronto to interview her, it was like meeting family.
Najwa may have a completely different background than me, growing up in Lebanon and Canada as a Muslim woman, but she is so relateable that literally hundreds of thousands of people read her posts every day.
I loved getting to know her story so much, I invited her to speak at the Summit of Greatness this year.

If you enjoyed this episode, check out show notes, video, and more at http://lewishowes.com/398
Warning - important message, please read carefully:
The breathing exercise has a profound effect and should be practiced in the way it is explained. Always do the breathing exercise in a safe environment (e.g. sitting on a couch/floor) and unforced.
Never practice the exercises before or during diving, driving, swimming, taking a bath or in any other environment/place where, should you pass out, a serious injury could occur. Wim Hof breathing may cause tingling sensations and/or lightheadedness. If you’ve fainted, it means that you went to far. Take a step back next time.
The cold is a powerful force. We strongly advise to gradually build up exposing yourself to the cold. Always train without force and listen to your body carefully. If it is not practiced responsible, there is a risk of hypothermia.
Do not practice the method during pregnancy or when having epilepsy. Persons with cardiovascular health issues, or any other (serious) health conditions, should always consult a medical doctor before starting with the Wim Hof Method.
