The Daily Motivation

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1868"You end up the way I did, which is you have everything and you're incredibly unhappy." - Dr. James DotyDr. James Doty spent years climbing mountains, thinking the view from the top would finally cure his shame and insecurity. He manifested the external success, checked all the boxes, heard everyone tell him his life was perfect. But at every peak, he found nothing but disappointment. He's seen destroyed marriages, damaged relationships with his kids, and ignored everyone in his life while obsessively focusing on goals. The brutal truth he learned: you can manifest everything on your vision board and still feel like a prisoner because you're the only one holding the key to that cell. The real work isn't about getting more, it's about understanding whether you're operating from fear or love. When fear drives you, your sympathetic nervous system keeps you in survival mode. When love drives you, you activate the parasympathetic system and suddenly you're open, generous, present. That's not motivational fluff, that's neuroscience meeting ancient wisdom.Here's what makes this conversation so powerful: Dr. Doty doesn't pretend positive thinking solves everything. He acknowledges that structural barriers exist, that poverty is incredibly hard to escape, that your circumstances matter. But within whatever situation you're in, you still have the power to choose your response. The Stoics knew it, Epictetus taught it from slavery: you can't control your external environment, but you can control how you react. The greatest cause of suffering isn't lack of achievement, it's attachment and craving. When you focus only on reaching the goal with no awareness of the process or the people around you, you end up hollow even when you win. The shift isn't about manifesting harder or wanting more intensely. It's about realizing that until you address the insecurity and shame driving your desires, external success will never fill that void. This is the conversation that breaks through the surface level manifestation talk and gets to what actually changes your life from the inside out.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1867"Happy people make gratitude a practice, not a reaction to something." - Lewis HowesLewis wakes up every single morning the same way: "Thank you, God, for another day." Not because something good happened. Not because he got what he wanted. Because 150,000 people die every single day, and he's not one of them. That's where it starts. He's discovered something most people never realize: you literally cannot be grateful and miserable at the same time. Try it right now. Hold gratitude in your mind and try to feel angry or sad or resentful. You can't do both. Your brain won't let you. So Lewis built his entire life around this truth. Morning gratitude when he wakes up. Evening gratitude with his wife Martha, where they each share three things they appreciate from that day. He's creating a bridge of gratitude from sunrise to sunset, and that bridge gets stronger every single day. The compound effect is real. He calls it breaking through the emotional armor that so many people carry around, that weight you don't even realize you're holding onto.Here's what shifts when you actually do this: your mind starts hunting for what's working instead of what's broken. You train yourself to see the good, and suddenly there's more of it everywhere. Lewis isn't asking you to ignore the hard stuff or pretend everything's perfect. He's asking you to write down three things you're grateful for every day for the next seven days. That's it. Three things. Because when you focus on what's present instead of what's missing, when you make gratitude and generosity your gateway to abundance, you stop reacting to life and start creating the happiness you deserve. Even on the days with heartbreak and stress and all the unfortunate things that happen, you'll have a tool that actually works. You'll notice your energy shift. Your heart shift. You'll start seeing why life is still beautiful, even in the middle of challenge.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Christian Howes, Lewis's older brother, is a world-renowned Jazz violinist who also experienced incarceration. Christian and fellow former inmate turned poet Jimmy Santiago Baca worked with director David Gonzalez to create "Redemption Time," a 70-minute film exploring manhood, trauma, and the possibility of transformation in the most unlikely place. What you're hearing here is the redemptive moment from that film, where Christian's violin breathes life into Jimmy's poetry while Shaka reads words that capture what happens when you walk out of prison with a gift instead of a plan to return to crime. The brotherhood between these two men is palpable. You can hear it in the "Yeah, my brother" at the end, in the way they create beauty together after surviving places designed to break people.This isn't a story about avoiding mistakes or staying out of trouble. It's about two men who found something in the worst possible circumstances and turned it into art that helps others believe transformation is possible. Shaka is now an author, speaker, and coach. Christian composes music that tells stories most people turn away from. Both men understand that redemption isn't about forgetting where you've been but about offering what you found there to others still searching for a way out. Their collaboration shows that the gifts we discover in our darkest moments, when shared honestly, become the light someone else needs to find their own path forward.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Generous is a character quality. And like integrity, it's a character quality that you choose. You're not born with it. You have to say, I am a generous person." - Dave RamseyDave Ramsey calls his 26-year-old self an "arrogant little twerp," and he means it. With 24 years of real estate experience and a college degree backing him, he genuinely believed the rules didn't apply to him. The debt that crushed other people? He was too smart for that. The pride before the fall? That was for regular folks. He would have been the guy trashing himself today, convinced that slow wealth building was for people who just didn't get it. Then his nothing-down real estate empire collapsed, and the guy who thought he was untouchable learned the hardest lesson of his life. What makes this conversation so gripping is watching Dave recognize exactly who he was, that person you feel like you need to shower after being around, the one so focused on me, me, me, me, me that he couldn't see the cliff ahead.But here's what shifted everything. Dave made a decision that generosity wasn't going to be about actions anymore. It was going to be his character, like integrity, something he chose to become rather than something he occasionally did. He started leaving outlandish tips, picking up bills for people in military fatigues, opening doors, tithing 10% to his church. Not because he had to, but because generous people are highly attractive, seldom depressed, and operate from abundance instead of scarcity. When you're drowning in financial stress, you become a navel gazer, turning inward, obsessing over protecting what little you have. Dave's saying the way out isn't to grip tighter. It's to open your hand and choose to be someone different, regardless of what's in your bank account. That decision to shift from selfish to selfless changes how you show up, how people experience you, and ultimately, how wealth flows into your life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Three days of perfect texts, then radio silence for a week. Your stomach drops. You obsess. And somehow, that anxiety feels like passion, like this must be real love because it hurts so much. Matthew Hussey explains what's actually happening in your nervous system when you say you "don't like nice guys" or can't stop chasing someone who treats you like you're disposable. Your brain got wired early, probably before you could walk or talk, to associate love with having to chase it, earn it, and work for it. When someone is consistent and kind, your nervous system doesn't recognize it. It doesn't produce that fight-or-flight response you learned to call love. So the person who's actually good for you feels boring, while the one who makes you anxious feels like fireworks. And this isn't just women. Think about the guy who's been the friend for years to a woman who picks him up and puts him down whenever it suits her. He can't walk away because something about this painful pattern feels like home.Matthew breaks down why relationships get made in what he calls "the crucible of hard conversations." The reason so many people end up stuck in limbo, in painful dynamics that never become real relationships, is because they're terrified to say the thing they're afraid to say. They can't express a need without fearing something bad will happen. So they stay silent, they accept breadcrumbs, they let things stay casual when they want more. The transformation isn't about finding someone who finally wants you back. It's about recognizing when your nervous system is mistaking familiar pain for passion, having compassion for yourself because this wiring wasn't your choice, and learning to feel safe with someone who's actually available. That means getting comfortable with hard conversations, with saying what you need, and with choosing the person who feels strange at first because they're consistent instead of the one who feels exciting because they're unavailable.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You don't manifest what you want. You manifest what you feel." - Lewis HowesThirteen years ago, Lewis wrote down a vision that wasn't perfect, wasn't fully figured out, but it was crystal clear; he wanted to serve people, reach a hundred million lives weekly, and learn from the best. He had no roadmap for making it all happen, but that clarity became a magnet. The opportunities he thought he'd have to chase started chasing him instead. But here's what he learned that most people miss completely: it wasn't the vision itself that made things happen. It was the emotional frequency he carried while pursuing it. Every thought you think connects to your cells, transmutes into your body, and creates the life you're living based on those feelings. If you're walking around in scarcity, stress, fear, and self-doubt, that's your manifestation frequency. That's what you're creating more of.Lewis gives you a specific challenge in this episode. Write this down right now: "In the next 12 months, I am becoming the person who does THIS." Not "I want to be", not "I hope to be". "I am becoming." Because here's the difference that changes everything: you have to manifest from identity, not fantasy. You have to feel it like your name, like your hands and feet, like there's no separation between you and the thing you're calling in. Gratitude is the fastest way to shift that frequency. When you're genuinely grateful for the sunshine, for waking up, for the food in front of you, you can't be angry and grateful at the same time. You shift out of fear and into alignment. And the more you practice it throughout your day, the more you build that habit, and the faster opportunities start finding their way to you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Our body is listening to every word that we say. Every word that we say is creating our reality because it creates our identity." - Jim CurtisJim Curtis used to tell himself he'd always know how to make money, and he did. But he also told himself he didn't have time for the gym. That physical therapists in New York City were scams. These weren't just thoughts passing through his mind. They were lies he used to justify staying broken, to bypass the work his body desperately needed. He was caught in unconscious patterns, financially successful but physically deteriorating, stuck in victimhood of his own making. Then he discovered something that changed everything. A four-part Hawaiian prayer: "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you." The first time he said it in repetition, he started to weep. Something in him, past or present or future, recognized those words and released. There's even a study where a man prayed this prayer over photographs of violent prison inmates, and the violent crime in that prison dropped by 50 percent. Just from someone praying remotely over pictures.Lewis knows this power intimately. When he was sixteen, he had eight teeth removed from his mouth but refused to get braces. Twenty years of stubbornness later, his jaw had formed so incorrectly that his back teeth never touched. He couldn't chew. He just swallowed his food whole for years. When he finally got implants, one of them wouldn't heal. For a month, he lived with seven-out-of-ten pain shooting through the side of his head, needing medication constantly just to function. His wife, Martha, asked him a simple question: "Have you forgiven yourself yet?" She told him to go look in the mirror, stare into his own eyes, and repeat, "I'm sorry. I forgive you. I love you" until the pain disappeared. Thirty minutes later, standing in that bathroom, the pain vanished. Completely. From seven to zero. This isn't theory or wishful thinking. This is your body listening to every single word you say, responding to the reality you're creating with your language. Try it. Look yourself in the eyes and speak those simple words until something shifts. Your body is waiting to hear it.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

And that is hard." - Gabriel IglesiasGabriel Iglesias walks through the world as Fluffy. Not sometimes. Not on stage. Always. When people see him on the street, they don't call out his actual name. They see the character, the persona, the guy who's supposed to make them smile. And here's what that actually means: he avoids going out in public when he's dealing with personal problems because he's terrified of running into someone when he's not in the right headspace. He can't vent on stage about things that anger him. He can't talk politics. He can't be fully himself in the work that made him successful. The identity that launched his career now limits it. But here's where it gets interesting. When fans recognize him, they don't treat him like a celebrity. They treat him like family they haven't seen in years. The warmth is real; the connection is deep. People tell him his comedy saved them during their darkest moments, and when he hears that, it snaps him out of whatever mood he's in. It puts his private struggles into perspective.After years of hiding the hard parts, Gabriel is finally incorporating them into his work. The plane crash that almost killed him and made the news. The home invasion where someone went through his things. The awkward reunion with the father he hadn't seen in 15 years. He's learning to transform those experiences into comedy, finding ways to make near-death funny, and sharing the not-so-pleasant parts of life while maintaining the core of what people love about Fluffy. The sacrifice is real. The pressure is constant. But he's made peace with it because the impact matters more than the freedom to vent. Sometimes success means choosing what serves others over what feels good in the moment, and that choice, that conscious sacrifice, is what separates people who sustain their impact from those who burn out fighting for complete authenticity in a world that needs them to be something specific.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The heck with your thinking. Let's say your thinking is what it is, and it's riddled with doubt. You still get to choose how you behave." - Price PritchettPrice Pritchett asks the question that stops most people in their tracks: when you're ravaged with doubt, how do you act like success is certain? His answer flips everything you thought you knew about confidence. You don't wait for your thinking to change. You choose how you behave despite what's happening in your head. He calls it managing your remembering, this practice of deciding which memories get your attention. You can pull up every embarrassment, every humiliation, every time you dropped the ball. Or you can pull up the times you surprised yourself, the moments you did it right, and the wins that proved you had what it takes. We all have two voices competing for airtime inside our heads. The hero voice focuses on your strengths and accomplishments. And the villain voice, the con artist that pretends to protect you while actually keeping you small. That villain voice sounds so reasonable, so concerned. But Pritchett exposes it for what it really is: the critic that raises doubts and focuses on your weak points.Here's where it gets fascinating. Most people think the answer is more positive thinking. But research shows something different. Less negative thinking is where the real power lives. And the kicker? About 70% of your negative thinking goes completely unperceived. It's so embedded in how you move through the world that you don't even notice it operating. Pritchett explains that positive and negative thinking aren't opposite ends of one scale. They're two separate scales entirely. Which means you can keep positive thinking high while systematically cutting down the negative thoughts that sabotage you. It takes practice. It takes discipline to catch that villain voice and shut it up. But every time you choose which internal coach gets the microphone, every time you manage what you remember, and every time you act despite the doubt, you're training yourself in a different way of being. Because the coach closest to you isn't out there somewhere. It's the voice inside your head, and you decide who's talking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1861"You cannot build wealth with a mindset that was designed to keep you small." - Lewis HowesLewis grew up in a small town in Ohio where money meant one thing: stress. His parents loved him, but they argued about finances, and his nervous system learned to associate money with fights, uncertainty, and fear. At 5, 8, 12 years old, he didn't understand what was happening, but his body was recording every moment. That programming followed him into adulthood. No matter what strategies he tried, no matter how much he earned, the anxiety stayed. He kept sabotaging himself without even realizing it. Then came the breaking point where he said, "No more. I need to learn." He started interviewing experts, not just about making money, but about managing it emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. What he discovered became his New York Times bestseller "Make Money Easy," and it starts with a truth most people miss: your financial problems aren't about dollars, they're about wounds.Here's what Lewis wants you to understand. Most of us are carrying the financial beliefs and burdens we learned as kids. Beliefs like "money is hard to make," "money makes people fight," "we can't afford that." These aren't just thoughts, they're identities. And if your identity says money is scary or you're not good with it, no strategy today will save you. Lewis shares the two shifts that changed everything for him. First, getting the right systems in place. Second, and more importantly, healing your early money wounds. He walks you through how to identify your earliest memory around money, whether that's parents digging through couch cushions for change or being told you can't have ice cream because there's no money. Once you start healing those wounds, you stop repeating them. You stop living with that constant knot in your stomach. Money becomes something light, even fun, instead of the heavy burden that's been taxing your life. This isn't about positive thinking, it's about understanding why you are the way you are with money, and then doing the real work to change it.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There was nowhere in my childhood that happiness was a moral obligation. It was more about long suffering." - Dr. Daniel AmenDr. Daniel Amen grew up Catholic, an altar boy taught that faith meant long suffering, not happiness. He was scared of God more than he was connected to Him. Then a cute Army company clerk asked him to take her to church, which turned out to be a wild Pentecostal healing service with speaking in tongues and dancing. That unexpected detour led him to Teen Challenge, working with drug addicts who found staggering success rates when they stopped making recovery about themselves and started making it about their relationship with God. Years later, after becoming one of the world's leading brain scientists, he walked into his own church past tables of donuts being sold to fund ministry. He got angry. Really angry. So he prayed what felt like the stupidest prayer of his life: that God would use him to change the food culture at churches. Two weeks later, Rick Warren, pastor of one of the largest churches in the world, called him out of nowhere and said, "I'm fat. My church is fat. Will you help me?" Fifteen thousand people signed up the first week. They lost a quarter of a million pounds the first year.The conversation reveals something most people don't know: there's hard science behind why faith works. Researchers at Duke have documented that people who attend religious services regularly get better faster when they're sick. They have lower rates of mental health issues. It's not just the community, though that helps. It's the belief itself. Believing you're here for a purpose, that your body is sacred, that you're wonderfully made. Those beliefs create actual neurotransmitter benefits in your brain. Dr. Amen's purpose is to make a dent in the universe by getting people to love and care for their brains, and he's discovered that faith and brain health aren't separate paths. Your health will reflect the health of your ten closest friends. You get better together or you get sick together. This is a conversation about finding purpose in what you thought was your dumbest moment, about how anger at church donuts can become a movement, and about why happiness isn't just a nice idea but a moral obligation.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Not a single person climbed the 115 steps to see the breathtaking view from the church balcony. They had the money for the trip, the time to travel, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate anymore. That moment crystallized everything he'd been thinking about how we get life backwards. We treat money like it's the goal when it's actually just a tool, one that loses effectiveness as our bodies and minds decline. Your body peaks at 33. After that, it's plateau and decline. Those hiking trips, those physical adventures, those experiences that require energy and health—they have expiration dates we refuse to acknowledge. We tell ourselves we'll do them later, when we're more financially secure, but later means weaker knees, less stamina, different limitations.Perkins talks about life in buckets, periods you'll never get back. Your twenties happen once. The years with small children happen once. Each phase has experiences designed for it, and if you miss them, they interfere with each other or disappear entirely. He uses a Tetris metaphor: imagine standing in heaven with God, throwing every experience you want into a bucket. Hiking, building businesses, raising kids, traveling to places that require climbing, all of it. God says you can have everything, you just have to get the order right. That's the game. That's what most people get catastrophically wrong. They're so afraid of judgment, so terrified of running out of money that they waste the periods of life when those experiences would mean the most, when their bodies could actually do them. This isn't about reckless spending. It's about understanding that your ability to convert money into fulfilling experiences decays over time, and no amount of savings can buy back the body you had at 33.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The main reason they don't support it is because you're killing off the person they love." - Jen SinceroJen Sincero sat in the driver's seat of an Audi she couldn't imagine owning, convinced the salesman would recognize her as an imposter and kick her out. She said "I can't afford it" so automatically it became a reflex, spoken a hundred times a day like a prayer to poverty. But those three words weren't just describing her reality—they were building it, brick by brick. Every time she said them, she pulled in more proof: the terrible car, the alley apartment, the bank account that never grew. She was trapped at what she calls the "kid table financially," watching real adults with real money from a distance, like they belonged to a different species. The shift didn't come from budgeting tips or side hustles. It came from understanding something most people never grasp: comfort zones aren't comfortable at all. They're familiarity zones, and breaking out of them requires something violent and necessary—killing off your old identity completely.This conversation cuts through every sugar-coated personal development cliché about money mindset. Jen talks about the WASP household where money was dirty, the rock-and-roller identity where wanting wealth meant selling out, and the brutal realization that to make real money, you have to obliterate the version of yourself that can't. Lewis and Jen dig into why this transformation is so lonely, why the people who love you often resist your growth hardest (you're literally killing off the person they know), and what it actually takes to shift from someone who can't afford things to someone who can. If you've ever felt stuck financially while watching others succeed, if "I can't afford it" comes out of your mouth more than you'd like, or if you're trying to grow and finding your closest relationships straining under the weight, this one will shake something loose.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Everyone's like, sit down, stop that, don't do that. And there's even this vibe these kids get, like nobody really wants to spend time with them." - Dr. Ramani DurvasulaDr. Ramani Durvasula walks through something most parents never want to hear: some kids are just born difficult. High energy, low frustration tolerance, constantly getting into trouble at school, and nobody wants to be around them. She's spent her career working with narcissistic adults, and without exception, every single one had a difficult temperament as a child. But here's where it gets interesting. That difficult temperament isn't a life sentence. The difference between a difficult kid who becomes a confident adult and one who becomes a narcissist comes down to how their parents respond. Lewis shares the story of Kobe Bryant, who went an entire summer without scoring a single point in basketball at age 13. His father told him, "I'm gonna love you no matter what. Whether you score zero points or you're the highest scorer, I'm gonna love you no matter what you do." That conversation gave Kobe the confidence to keep going. Dr. Ramani explains how rare that kind of support is, where a kid feels loved unconditionally, has their energy channeled into athletics or building things, and experiences boundaries without rejection.The conversation takes a sharp turn into modern parenting's biggest trap. Parents are celebrating their kids for nothing, telling them they're special just for existing, but nobody's actually sitting with these kids' emotions. Dr. Ramani calls it being "overindulged for their outsides" while their emotional world goes completely unnourished. Narcissistic parents need their kids to be great because it reflects on them, so they heap praise on everything while never teaching their kids to handle disappointment or sit with sadness. The result? Adults who get blindsided by life's inevitable difficulties and can't handle it. She breaks down exactly what great actually means (it's about excelling, not just being), how to love a child while still calling out bad behavior, and why the most dangerous thing you can do is protect a kid from struggle while telling them they're amazing. If you've got a difficult kid or you're trying to figure out where confidence ends and narcissism begins, this conversation draws the lines with surgical precision.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Health and wellness can be as infectious as disease." - Dr. Joe DispenzaLewis opens by sharing how he mentally rehearsed his future reality for years, watching game film of world record holders every night before sleep, then practicing physically the next day. He was living in what Dr. Joe Dispenza calls the quantum field, rehearsing moments that wouldn't happen for another decade. That vulnerability sets the stage for Dr. Joe to reveal something extraordinary happening in his events. Two people with stage 4 cancer walked away completely reversed. A woman with an unnamed neurological disorder arrived on crutches and left without them. These aren't celebrities or exceptional cases. They're ordinary people who reached the end of what traditional medicine could offer and decided to change everything about themselves. Twenty years ago, if a doctor gave you a diagnosis, you signed the dotted line and got the surgery. Today, people are researching, getting multiple opinions, and discovering they don't need an authority figure to access information that could save their lives.Dr. Joe explains that this work isn't for everyone because you can't be a little bit committed, just like you can't be a little bit pregnant. But when a normal person shares their healing story in front of a thousand people, something shifts. Everyone watching thinks the same thing: if she can do it, so can I. That's when healing becomes infectious, spreading through communities the same way disease does. The conversation moves beyond individual transformation into something bigger. Success, Dr. Joe admits, is just a side effect of who you become. The real work is about pushing the envelope on what's possible, helping people understand they can self-correct health conditions and change their genetic future before symptoms ever appear. The question evolving now isn't just whether people can heal themselves, but whether someone who's healed can turn around and heal another person. The implications are staggering.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Picture this: you're sitting in your studio apartment, cat box hasn't been changed in two weeks, no food in the fridge, and you're staring at a vision board covered with mansions and dream cars. That massive gap between where you are and where you want to be? It's not inspiring you. It's making you feel like a loser. Research shows that when you only visualize the endgame, it's actually demotivating. Your brain sees that distance and starts the negative self-talk spiral. Mel gets brutally specific here, breaking down exactly why that gorgeous collage you made after a bottle of wine isn't doing what you thought it would.Here's where it gets good. Mel teaches you to visualize the bridge, not the destination. And not the pretty parts of the bridge either. The horrible stuff. What's it like at mile 13 of your marathon when it's sleeting rain and you're asking yourself why you're doing this? What happens when your earbuds die at mile 12 or your shoelace breaks at mile 17 and you've got a blood blister forming? If you're building a business, visualize making those cold calls and hearing no. Visualize staying home on Saturday night while your friends are out, because you're putting in the work. Visualize your first course failing. When you train your mind and nervous system for the actual hard work, you're not blindsided when it shows up. You've already mentally pushed through it. You're building resilience like a muscle, preparing your body so you're not resistant when difficulty comes. That's how you actually do the work instead of just dreaming about the results.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's a brilliant protective mechanism against cancer. But here's what's quietly sabotaging your health: as you age, your immune system starts losing its ability to remove these cells. They pile up in your tissues, pumping out inflammation day after day, which is why your blood markers for inflammation climb with every passing year. Scientists call it "inflammaging." These zombie cells are literally sitting in your body right now, actively contributing to the chronic inflammation driving disease and aging.The game-changer? Scientists tested dozens of drugs to clear these cells, but they had brutal side effects. Then they found three compounds in everyday foods that actually work: fisetin in strawberries, quercetin in red onions, and piperlongumine in long pepper. Dr. Greger shares the research showing people experiencing measurable benefits from eating as little as a teaspoon of chopped onions or a handful of fresh strawberries daily. He explains exactly why red onions beat white onions, why he personally switched from blackberries to strawberries despite their lower antioxidant content, and where to find long pepper to add to your diet. This isn't about taking another supplement or following a restrictive protocol. It's about understanding what's actually aging your body at the cellular level and using specific, accessible foods to fight back.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I know how this feels... if you felt like you've been giving and giving and giving, and you feel like you're getting taken advantage of. That's how I felt most of my life." - Lewis HowesLewis gets raw about something most successful people won't admit: he spent decades as a people-pleaser. Not just a few years, but most of his life saying YES when he wanted to say NO, overextending himself to be liked, to be loved, to feel like he mattered. He built his entire business that way at first, saying yes to everyone for years because he had nothing—no career, no money, no network. But then the pattern continued long after it stopped serving him. He kept fracturing himself psychologically, emotionally, physically by living out of alignment with who he really was. The person everyone could count on wasn't the real Lewis—it was the version weakened by the desperate need for approval.What changed everything was understanding that self-respect has to come first, before anyone else can truly respect you. Lewis walks through exactly how to start taking your power back, even when it terrifies you. He's honest about what happens when you finally start saying NO—some people will manipulate you, guilt trip you, tell you that you've changed and you're not the friend they could count on. And he'll tell you not to buy into it. Because when you're constantly discounting yourself for others, you're living a lie. You're killing the strongest version of yourself to keep feeding the weakest. This isn't about becoming cold or selfish. It's about learning to communicate boundaries with kindness while refusing to sacrifice your energy and integrity. Lewis knows the fear in your stomach when you think about saying no to someone. He's lived it. But he also knows the monumental shift that happens when you finally own your NO and step into the power you've been giving away.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sixty-three percent of men under thirty aren't even attempting to date anymore. One in seven young men are NEETs, neither working nor studying nor training for anything, just existing alone with screens. Galloway explains how we got here with uncomfortable precision. Online dating condensed human worth into brutal metrics like "six feet, six figures," which describes exactly two percent of available men. Meanwhile, every traditional venue where men could demonstrate excellence over time has evaporated. They're not going to church, not showing up to offices, not in classrooms where someone might notice they're funny, kind, outstanding at what they do. The algorithms figured out they can monetize every second they keep a young man staring at a screen instead of living in the actual world, and young men are uniquely vulnerable to this because of biology, less developed impulse control, higher susceptibility to dopamine addiction. Why face the rejection and effort of making friends when Reddit offers connection without risk? Why navigate workplace politics when you can trade crypto from your bedroom? Why pursue romance when porn is right there?Galloway isn't offering easy solutions because there aren't any yet. He's diagnosing something that should terrify us. Forty percent of the S&P 500 by market value is now AI-related companies whose algorithms, not through malice but through optimization, have figured out how to sequester young men from their relationships and monetize that isolation. Women, celebrated for walking away at the first red flag and conditioned to demand perfection, are simultaneously dealing with a dating pool that's shrinking not because men are unworthy but because they've stopped showing up entirely. This isn't about blame. It's about understanding that trillion-dollar economic incentives are arrayed against human connection, and young men, through a combination of biological vulnerability and vanishing social infrastructure, are losing that fight. Galloway predicts you'll start visibly noticing fewer young men at malls, events, anywhere public. They're going to be alone in rooms with screens, and we're all going to live with the consequences of that.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You're being the family super self to yourself." - Jerry WiseThere's something unsettling about watching a CEO who commands boardrooms admit they can't tell their parents they want to change the time for Christmas dinner. Jerry Wise has spent decades watching successful people crumble the moment they step back into their childhood homes, reverting to versions of themselves they don't recognize. The breakthrough comes when you realize that voice in your head, the one constantly criticizing and pushing and never letting up, isn't actually you at all. It's what Wise calls the "family super self," this emotional WiFi network you've been connected to since birth, transmitting their anxieties and standards and judgments straight into your nervous system. You've been living as a pseudo self, acting out patterns you never chose, defending behaviors that hurt you because somewhere along the way you confused survival mechanisms with success strategies.What makes this conversation so powerful is how Wise dismantles the myth that self-criticism equals achievement. That president who can't stand up to mom and dad will swear up and down that being brutal with himself is what got him where he is, never stopping to wonder why he needs his family's harsh voice to stay motivated. Wise explains enmeshment not as some abstract psychology term but as the painful truth that many of us don't know where we end and our families begin. The path forward isn't cutting everyone off or pretending the past didn't happen. It's learning to hold space between yourself and them, to stay connected while finally, maybe for the first time, being yourself. Your inner child has been waiting for this, for the moment when the conflict stops and you can just exist without performing, without proving, without that relentless internal commentary that was never yours to begin with.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A cellular biologist who lived entirely in the world of microscopes and petri dishes, he had zero interest in anything spiritual. Then one day, while studying the receptors on cell surfaces, he noticed something that stopped him cold. These receptors are antennas. They're on the outside of the cell, which means they're picking up signals from outside. If every person has a unique set of these "self receptors" and they're reading the environment, then where is the signal actually coming from? That question shattered his entire worldview. He realized we're not contained in our bodies at all. We're broadcasts being received by our cells, like a TV picking up a signal. When the TV breaks, the broadcast doesn't die. It's still there, waiting for another receiver.This isn't mystical thinking dressed up as science. This is a scientist following the evidence to a conclusion he never expected and didn't want to believe. Bruce walks through exactly how he went from pure materialism to understanding that consciousness exists independent of the body, using nothing but cell biology and physics. He explains why letting go of the past isn't just good advice but necessary for tuning into your true signal without interference. And he breaks down why learning to love yourself isn't something you do after you heal - it's the healing itself. What makes this conversation so powerful is watching someone who built his entire identity on provable facts discover that the most profound truth of all has been hiding in plain sight in his own research.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I'm not telling you, but I'm doing it subtly." - Evy PoumpourasEvy Poumpouras spent years mastering the psychology of influence and control as a Secret Service agent and interrogator. In this conversation, she speaks of techniques that sound almost too simple to work, but they do. When she walks you through how to greet someone with subtle commands instead of questions, how to give someone autonomy in small ways so you can push them on bigger things later, how to plant seeds that say "I'm in charge here" without ever speaking those words directly, you realize these aren't manipulation tactics. They're protection strategies. She talks about dating after abuse with the kind of honesty that cuts through all the self-help noise. If you've been a doormat, if someone walked all over your boundaries, the instinct is to either shut down completely or come out swinging. Evy offers a third path, one where you rebuild authority without taking your trauma out on innocent people.The conversation shifts into something even more valuable when she explains the difference between conditional and unconditional trust. Most of us hand out trust like candy because it's easier, because it means we can turn our brains off and just believe people. But that's exactly why betrayal destroys us. Evy explains that law enforcement officers assume everyone is lying because they deal with liars all day, while average people assume everyone is honest. Neither extreme works. What does work is conditional trust, where you protect yourself by trusting someone in stages, in pieces, watching how they handle small things before you give them access to bigger things. It's more work, yes. It requires staying alert, keeping that more complex part of your brain engaged. But it's the difference between building something real and getting shattered when someone you trusted completely shows you who they really are. This is practical psychology you can use today, whether you're sitting across from someone in a job interview, on a first date, or trying to figure out if someone in your life deserves more access to your heart.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

And we live twice as long. Go figure." - Esther PerelFor most of human history, sex was procreation and duty. Women's pleasure didn't matter. Marriage had nothing to do with desire. Then everything changed in just 60 years. Contraception freed women from the terror of pregnancy and death. The women's movement challenged ancient power structures. Suddenly we started marrying for butterflies and attraction, expecting those feelings to sustain us for decades. But here's what nobody prepared us for: research shows women get bored with monogamy much faster than men. Not because women want less sex, but because they want less of the boring sex that shows up in long-term relationships. The romance dies. The seduction disappears. Men think foreplay is five minutes before intercourse, but Esther explains that for women, foreplay actually starts at the end of the previous orgasm. It's the tease, the pacing, the way animals circle each other without overwhelming.This conversation strips away everything you thought you understood about desire in relationships. Esther walks through why sustaining passion with one person for 60 years is literally unprecedented in human history, and what actually kills desire in marriage. The plot disappears. The character gets stale. Couples stop seducing each other and wonder why the spark died. She reveals the essential ingredients that make eroticism possible, why women's desire needs romance and mystery to survive, and how most relationships accidentally destroy the very conditions that create turn-on. This isn't about trying harder or scheduling more date nights. It's about understanding that we're living through a grand experiment of humankind, asking for something no generation before us has successfully achieved, and most of us are doing it completely wrong.RetrySign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They wake up, grab their phone, dive into chaos, and wonder why money feels so hard to create. He's found that one tiny act changes everything: making your bed before touching anything else. Not perfectly ironed sheets, just smoothing things out while saying, "I create order, and because I create order, I create wealth." It sounds almost too simple, but Lewis explains how this two-minute ritual restructures your entire nervous system. When you live in physical clutter, your mind operates in clutter too. Your thoughts stay scattered, your cortisol stays elevated, and you make decisions from survival mode instead of abundance. That first act of creating order signals something different to your brain. You start your day having already won something small, and that momentum carries into every choice that follows.The second piece Lewis hammers home is even more confronting: your body is your wealth engine, and if you're running on empty, money won't stick to you. He talks about meeting people who are vibrant and alive versus those who are emotionally drained, and how opportunities literally seem to find the first group while passing by the second. When you're depleted, you can't maintain the consistency needed to build anything lasting. You become the person who starts things but can't finish them, who sees opportunities but lacks the energy to act. Lewis isn't preaching perfection or some intense morning routine that takes hours. He's pointing to something deeper: if you want different financial results, you have to create from a place of peace and clarity, not from overwhelm and stress. Make your bed, take care of your energy, and watch how differently the world responds to you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What causes stress are the views you take of the event." - Dr. Ellen LangerPicture this: A fire destroys 80% of everything you own. Your response? "It was already gone. What was the point in getting crazy over it?" That's Dr. Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychology professor whose work on mindfulness has shaped how we understand stress and human potential. When the insurance adjuster showed up after her house burned down, he told her it was the first time in 25 years someone's reaction was calmer than the actual damage warranted. Most people catastrophize before they even see the extent of the loss. Ellen did the opposite. She immediately saw those burnt possessions as artifacts of her past, things she might not even choose again if she were starting fresh today. Then something happened on Christmas Eve that she couldn't have predicted: the hotel staff where she was staying, from the parking attendants to the chambermaids, filled her room with gifts. Not management. Not the owner. The people you barely notice. For years, she couldn't tell that story without crying.What makes this conversation so powerful is watching someone live their philosophy in real time. Ellen doesn't just theorize about stress, she's walked through actual loss and come out believing that worrying is simply a waste of time. She breaks down why predictability is an illusion we cling to, why most of what we worry about never happens, and how stress relies on two false assumptions: that we know what will happen, and that when it does, it will be awful. The conversation moves from handling global crises to personal disasters, from the things that keep us up at night to the moments that restore our faith in humanity. You'll hear about the class she taught without any of her notes after they burned in the fire, how it became the best class she ever taught because everything had to be thought through fresh in that moment. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending bad things don't happen. This is about what becomes possible when you stop trying to control outcomes you can't predict anyway.RetrySign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What it actually is, is an attempt to solve a problem in your life." - Gabor MatéGabor Maté doesn't sugarcoat it. When he asks what addiction gave you, he's not interested in shame or judgment. He wants you to see the truth: you were trying to escape something. Lewis admits he felt trapped throughout his entire childhood, and Gabor names it immediately. That's what addiction is for. It's for people who feel imprisoned, who need an escape from pain they didn't ask for. Gabor shares his own struggle with workaholism, driven by a desperate need to prove he had the right to exist, that he was worthy of love. These aren't moral failures. They're survival responses to trauma that got embedded in childhood, and they've been following you ever since.Here's what changes everything: addiction isn't about what's wrong with you. It's about what happened to you, and what you've been trying to solve ever since. Gabor walks through why virtually everyone in a room would raise their hand if asked whether they have an addiction by his definition, because most of us are trying to escape something we couldn't control. He's clear that while rare spiritual moments in nature can sometimes spark healing, most of us need self-awareness, support, connection, and guidance. This conversation strips away the myths about addiction being a disease or a choice, and reveals the trapped child underneath who's still trying to break free. If you've been waiting for that miraculous moment to heal, Gabor's message is direct: don't wait. Get the help, because you have a much better chance that way.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He wouldn't get back till seven o'clock at night. He just worked so, so hard. That's all I saw growing up." - Rhonda ByrneRhonda Byrne watched her father leave at four in the morning and return at seven at night, day after grinding day. That image of relentless work and exhaustion became her subconscious blueprint for money: it requires struggle, it demands sacrifice, it costs you your life. When she stumbled upon the early 1900s new thought movement, reading Genevieve Barand and others who understood the power of the mind, everything cracked open. She saw that her deepest money beliefs weren't truths carved in stone, they were patterns inherited from pain. And patterns can be broken.The practices Rhonda shares aren't abstract theory. They're the 21 specific tools she used to override decades of inherited lack beliefs, and they're surprisingly simple. Small mental pivots like changing "I can't afford that" to "I can't wait until I can buy that." Techniques that slip naturally into your daily routine without adding pressure or forcing you to buy things you can't afford. She's showing you how to win the real battle, the one happening in your subconscious mind, where your deepest money beliefs actually live. This is the internal work that changes everything, and she makes it accessible.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A bleeding ulcer. That's what happens when a kid lives in constant fear of what his father might do next. His dad, the youngest of 12 who never healed from his own abuse, fought everyone. His sister stopped speaking to him 20 years ago. Ex-wives won't return calls. When his parents died, they weren't talking. Dean watched this man burn every bridge, move the family constantly through failed relationships and money problems, and he made himself a promise: get successful enough to never need anyone, never be stuck, never be that powerless kid again. So he ran. He built businesses, made millions, kept moving. And it worked, until it didn't.The moment Dean had enough money to breathe, really breathe without worry, something terrifying happened. He looked in the mirror and saw that same scared kid staring back. All the crap he never dealt with was still there, waiting. Money didn't heal the wounds. It just removed his excuse for ignoring them. He went through a divorce. He chose to forgive the father who broke him. He had to rescue that little boy still hiding inside a grown man's success. What he shares here isn't about making money. It's about what you do when you finally have enough freedom to stop running and start facing yourself. It's about finding the kind of leverage that doesn't come from fear but from knowing who you need to become. Most people quit after a few failures because they're chasing money for the wrong reasons. Dean kept going because he had to prove he wasn't his father. That leverage saved him, even when it led him straight into the pain he spent decades avoiding.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

No second guessing." - Rick RubinRick Rubin asked Lewis a question that sounds simple but cuts through everything: If I gave you two different foods to taste, could you tell me which one you like? Of course you could. And no one could convince you that the one that tastes bad to you actually tastes good. That's the whole secret to creative work, he says. Trust what resonates with you the same way you trust your taste buds. It sounds almost obvious until you think about how much of your creative life you've spent second-guessing yourself, trying to like what you're supposed to like, making what you think will succeed instead of what genuinely moves you. Rick has spent 40 years producing music's biggest artists, and this simple principle is what he keeps coming back to.The conversation goes somewhere unexpected when Lewis asks about struggling artists who can't make money doing what they love. Rick doesn't preach belief or hustle. He says divide them. Get a job that supports you so your art can be free. He talks about his cousin who became a dentist, practiced for 15 or 20 years, and finally had to admit it was the wrong choice from the beginning. How many people are living that exact life right now, stuck in a program they chose when they were young? But what really strikes you is how Rick talks about being in the studio after all these decades. He still gets that feeling when something's not happening, and then suddenly it is, and he doesn't know what changed. He's still surprised all the time. Still leaning forward with curiosity. That's not someone going through the motions. That's someone who protected the magic by keeping things simple.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
