They don't wait." – Lewis HowesLewis gets raw and real in this solo episode, digging into the micro-habits that silently shape how the world sees you—and how you see yourself. Drawing from neuroscience and lived experience, he lays out exactly how eye contact, body posture, and the tone of your voice directly influence your confidence. It's not about faking it or trying to impress others—it's about rewiring your brain through small, repeatable actions that tell your nervous system: “I'm safe. I've got this.”This isn't a pep talk—it's a challenge. Lewis gives you three specific “confidence reps” to practice today: Hold eye contact. Speak with clarity. Give a genuine compliment. Bonus points if you use the person's name. It sounds simple, but these small acts done with intention are how you develop true, unshakable confidence—not next week, not next year, but right now. Confidence, he reminds us, is built just like a muscle: through repetition, strain, and the willingness to show up again and again.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We need friction in our life because that's when you grow." - Price PritchettAt 83 years old, Price Pritchett has orchestrated $350 billion worth of corporate mergers, but his most powerful insight isn't about business—it's about the guilt that stops us from pursuing what truly stirs our hearts. He's witnessed countless executives who know exactly what they need to do but can't give themselves permission to do it, trapped by the belief that chasing big dreams is somehow selfish. Pritchett reveals why this mindset is not only wrong but dangerous, explaining how our biggest goals require us to let other things "fade into the shadows"—and why that's not selfishness, it's survival.What makes this conversation extraordinary isn't just Pritchett's decades of high-stakes experience, but his raw honesty about why comfort is the enemy of growth. He challenges the modern obsession with balance and equilibrium, arguing that we need friction, discomfort, and even failure to become who we're meant to be. Through stories of billion-dollar deals and personal transformation, he shows how giving yourself permission to pursue what matters most isn't just about achieving success—it's about staying alive in the truest sense.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1714"You can still be going through hard things, and do beautiful things in the world." - Gabby BernsteinGabby Bernstein used to be what she calls "parts on fire" - a workaholic living in hyper-vigilance, consumed by anxiety and control, forcing her way through life despite being sober and successful. When Lewis first met her 14 years ago, she was getting results but struggling internally, driven by wounded parts of herself that were trying to protect her but ultimately blocking her from true fulfillment. What she discovered changed everything: we all have multiple parts within us - some wounded, some controlling, some in firefighter mode - and the key isn't to eliminate them, but to heal them and create harmony between our higher self and these protective parts.Through her four-step process, Gabby learned to transform these parts rather than fight them. Her controller part that once exhausted her with force and anxiety now helps her take inspired action from a place of flow and trust. This isn't about surface-level positive thinking or typical manifesting techniques - it's about actual neural rewiring that happens when you develop a loving, parental relationship with the wounded parts of yourself. When you can turn your greatest sources of pain into your most powerful allies, everything in your life begins to shift toward the harmony and abundance you've been seeking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

If you're gonna break through, you're fighting for somebody else." - Brendon BurchardPicture this: Brendon Burchard looks over at the woman he loves, and she's literally sleeping under a pile of his unpaid bills. That image broke something open in him. For weeks, he'd been pretending to write, faking productivity while drowning in financial pressure. But seeing her carry the weight of his struggles? That night changed everything. He wrote for 18 straight days, emerging with a book that hit number one on Amazon and launched an empire of courses, seminars, and millions of copies sold. The breakthrough didn't come from willpower or motivation—it came from finding someone to fight for beyond himself.What Brendon discovered in that moment rewrites everything we think we know about pushing through obstacles. He reveals why self-doubt isn't actually the enemy (it's what you do when doubt shows up that matters), and breaks down the ZAPS cycle that keeps us stuck—how we zoom in on problems, attach our identity to failures, then punish ourselves into paralysis. This isn't about positive thinking or grinding harder. It's about the fundamental shift from fighting for survival to fighting for service, and why that transition unlocks a level of performance most people never access.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

My energy was at a three out of ten, and I was questioning whether I should even show up to record my podcast. But I had Robin Sharma scheduled - the guy who wrote "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" and created the 5 AM Club - and something told me not to reschedule. Five minutes into our conversation, I did something I'd never done before: I told my guest I was struggling. I admitted my energy was low, that I was going through some serious personal stuff, and that I might not be at my best. What Robin said next didn't just change that interview - it changed how I see every painful moment in my life.When you're in the thick of devastation - whether it's a brutal breakup, getting fired, losing someone you love, or facing any situation that feels like your world is ending - your body is literally processing grief. But here's what I've learned from my darkest seasons: every painful moment is preparing you for something greater. The spiritual cleansing you're going through right now, the people who are showing their true colors, the things falling away from your life - it's all happening for your future self. I'll share exactly how to create distance from your pain, how to find perspective when you're drowning, and why the worst day of your life might actually be setting you up for your greatest breakthrough.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

The Grammy-nominated artist opens up about the terrifying disconnect between external triumph and internal torment, describing how the very adrenaline that makes him brilliant on stage can leave him feeling "too wide open" to darkness afterward. At just 16, he was singing emotionally complex music for audiences who had lived experiences he hadn't, setting up a psychological pattern where success always felt borrowed, temporary, like someone might discover he didn't belong.This raw conversation cuts through the mythology of achievement to expose what happens when your biggest victories coincide with your deepest struggles. Josh's honesty about going into "low power mode" after performances, his jealousy of artists who can celebrate their wins, and his fear of being "found out" will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like a fraud in their own success story. His journey toward learning to stay present for his achievements offers hope for anyone trapped between what the world sees and what they feel inside.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Andrew Huberman breaks down the fascinating science behind why our brains get stuck in endless pursuit mode, chasing the next dopamine hit while losing the ability to appreciate what's right in front of us. He reveals how addiction isn't just about substances - it's about any pattern that narrows our capacity for joy, turning life into a tunnel vision chase for the next temporary high. But here's what's revolutionary: your brain has two distinct reward systems working simultaneously, and most people only know how to activate one.This isn't just neuroscience theory - it's a roadmap for recalibrating your entire relationship with satisfaction and ambition. Huberman explains how the dopamine system drives us toward external goals while the serotonin system helps us find contentment in what we already possess, and why both are essential for a fulfilling life. You'll discover why gratitude isn't just positive thinking but actually a biological reset button, how abundance mindset literally rewires your neural pathways, and the specific practices that can expand your capacity for pleasure instead of shrinking it. This conversation will change how you think about motivation, achievement, and what it truly means to feel fulfilled.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

And I realized - it's because deep down, they don't believe they deserve it." - Dr. Tara SwartDr. Tara Swart has uncovered something most manifestation experts won't tell you - the real reason your vision board sits incomplete in a drawer somewhere. As a neuroscientist who bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern brain science, she's discovered that the biggest obstacle to manifesting isn't your technique or your consistency - it's the quiet voice that whispers you don't deserve what you're asking for. Her own vulnerability in placing her first vision board in her tiny studio apartment bathroom, visible to every visitor, revealed how our fear of judgment often mirrors our deepest self-worth struggles.This conversation will shift how you think about goal-setting forever. Dr. Swart breaks down the brain chemistry behind why gratitude literally rewires your neural pathways from fear-based cortisol to love-based oxytocin, making you naturally more willing to take the healthy risks your dreams require. Lewis shares his own daily gratitude practice and how it's become his gateway to abundance, while Dr. Swart explains why your amygdala keeps replaying every past rejection to keep you "safe" from trying again. You'll discover why action boards work better than vision boards, and how to hack your brain's survival mechanisms to support your biggest aspirations instead of sabotaging them.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Discipline is for those who want meaning." - Lewis HowesLewis gets brutally honest about the years he spent chasing all the wrong things - money, relationships, success - all driven by fear rather than purpose. He had everything he thought he wanted, yet felt completely empty inside. The breakthrough came when he realized he was addicted to motivation instead of rooted in meaning. There's something deeply personal about the way he shares this journey, admitting how hollow those achievements felt when they weren't connected to something bigger than his ego.This isn't just another pep talk about finding your purpose. Lewis breaks down exactly how meaning transforms everything - from the boundaries you set to the energy you protect, from the work you create to the relationships you nurture. He walks you through the exact question that changed his life: "Who suffers if I stay small?" It's the kind of question that stops you in your tracks and forces you to see your potential through the lens of service rather than self-interest.

Science cannot answer whether there's actually spirituality. But I can tell you exactly what happens in your brain when you feel a ghost behind you." - Dr. Baland JalalDr. Baland Jalal lives in a fascinating intersection that most people never explore - he's both a devout Muslim who believes in spiritual dimensions and a neuroscientist who can literally create the sensation of ghosts in a laboratory. When he applies electrical stimulation to a tiny region called the TPJ in your brain, you'll swear there's a presence behind you, mimicking your every movement. It's the same neural disruption that happens during sleep paralysis, when people feel demonic entities pressing down on their chests or shadowy figures lurking in their peripheral vision. Yet despite being able to manufacture these supernatural experiences with the flip of a switch, Dr. Jalal maintains something profound: just because we can explain the brain mechanisms doesn't mean the spiritual world isn't real.What makes his perspective so compelling is the humility embedded in his science. He reminds us that 150 years ago, telling someone about the trillions of microscopic creatures living on their skin would have sounded insane - until we invented microscopes. His research offers something rare in our polarized world: the possibility that scientific explanation and spiritual reality aren't enemies, but different ways of understanding the same mysterious human experience. Whether you're a skeptic who thinks it's all brain chemistry or someone who's had encounters you can't explain, this conversation will shift how you think about the unseen forces that shape our reality.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

He's watched countless driven people hit what he calls "the pain line" - that devastating moment when you have the opportunity to double your revenue, but you can't take it because it would mean doubling your misery. Picture getting that dream email about expanding your business, only to feel sick to your stomach because you're already exhausted, your calendar is exploding, and you're missing your kids' weekends. Dan lived this nightmare himself before discovering the fundamental shift that changes everything.What Dan reveals in this conversation will flip how you think about building wealth. It starts with a single question about your worth versus what you're actually getting paid - and the answer exposes the unconscious beliefs that are literally sabotaging your success. He breaks down why most people spend time to save money when wealthy people do the exact opposite, and shares the three pillars that determine whether you'll create sustainable wealth or burn out trying. This isn't about working harder; it's about rewiring the beliefs that keep you trapped in a business prison of your own making.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

I got to a point where I felt like I've kind of made it... but age is a number and I have more capital than I've ever had. I think I can still do it again." - Robert HerjavecHere's a man worth hundreds of millions, with private jets and luxury beyond most people's wildest dreams, sitting across from Lewis and admitting he's been living a lie. At 62, Robert Herjavec thought he could coast – that success meant he'd earned the right to slow down. But something shifted. He realized that all those material markers he'd chased, from the Corvette to the G4 to the G6 jet, were just distractions from the real question: Had he truly reached his potential? The vulnerability in his voice when he talks about wanting to feel on his deathbed that "I couldn't have done more" hits different when it comes from someone who seemingly has everything.What Robert reveals about redefining success will challenge everything you think you know about achievement. This isn't about accumulating more stuff or hitting bigger numbers – it's about the brutal honesty required to keep growing when the world tells you you've already won. His approach to handling criticism, leaving ego at the door, and finding fulfillment in the chaos of raising twins while still pursuing new ventures offers a masterclass in what it really means to live fully. If you've ever caught yourself thinking you've "arrived" or that your best days are behind you, this conversation will shake you awake.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

You are just finally realizing it when you start to align yourself to healing, peace and abundance." - Lewis HowesFor years, I was that guy chasing relationships and business success from the most broken place imaginable. I thought if I could just build a bigger following, make more money, or find the right person to love me, then I'd finally feel whole. But here's what nobody tells you about achieving your goals from neediness - when you actually get what you thought you wanted, the emptiness doesn't disappear. It gets worse. I'd hit these milestones I'd been desperately chasing and instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt more insecure, more scarce, wondering why I still felt so empty inside. That's when I realized I was creating my entire life from a wound, not from wholeness.The shift that changed everything wasn't about working harder or wanting less - it was about understanding the energy I was bringing to everything I desired. When you can attract love, opportunities, and abundance from a place where you're already whole, where you already feel complete, something magical happens. People become drawn to you not because you need them, but because you're radiating the kind of energy they want to be around. But here's the catch - when abundance starts flowing your way, you better have boundaries and discernment locked down, because saying yes to everything that comes your way will land you right back in overwhelm and burnout.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

That's the reality for millions suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, desperately cycling through drugs that cost up to $100,000 annually, work only half the time, and carry the FDA's most serious "black box warning" for life-threatening side effects. Dr. Kevin Tracey, a pioneering neuroscientist, witnessed this suffering and refused to accept it as inevitable. His breakthrough discovery that our vagus nerve can literally "talk" to our immune system has led to something that sounds like science fiction: a tiny implant, no bigger than a fish oil capsule, that operates for just one minute a day and is giving people their lives back.What makes this conversation extraordinary isn't just the medical breakthrough – it's hearing about patients who wake up at 4:30 AM when their device activates, not with dread, but with smiles, because for the first time in years, their hands don't hurt. Dr. Tracey walks us through how this technology works, why traditional medicine has been looking in the wrong places, and how stimulating one nerve for sixty seconds can reduce not just physical pain, but anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders that plague chronic illness sufferers. This isn't about managing symptoms – it's about activating your body's own healing intelligence.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

That person can do that one thing and it can be very hurtful, but we may not see them again. But when we make our mistake, we have to live with that. We have to face ourselves in the mirror." - Stephan SpeaksStephan Speaks gets brutally honest about why self-forgiveness feels impossible for most of us. While others can hurt us once and disappear from our lives, our own mistakes follow us everywhere - stacking up in our minds, replaying in quiet moments, creating a prison we can't escape. He reveals how we end up carrying multiple offenses against ourselves while that person who wronged us gets the luxury of just one. But here's where it gets fascinating: Stephan shares a specific letter-writing process that cuts through years of self-punishment, and Lewis actually gets him to commit to using it on something he's been avoiding in his own life.What makes this conversation different is how practical it gets. This isn't about positive thinking or generic self-help mantras. Stephan breaks down exactly why voice memos and texts don't work for deep healing, why you can't skip steps in the process, and how your subconscious sabotages quick-fix attempts at forgiveness. He walks through the psychology behind why handwritten letters access parts of our emotional processing that digital shortcuts simply can't reach.

That's a lot more than most people suspect." - Dr. William LiDr. William Li's great uncle didn't just live to 104 - he planned his own 100th birthday party, created the guest list, and hosted the entire celebration himself. This wasn't some frail centenarian barely holding on; this was a man who embodied what Dr. Li has spent years researching: the biological secrets of those who don't just survive to 100, but thrive there. When scientists started studying the gut bacteria of supercentenarians (people living to 114 and beyond), they discovered something extraordinary - four specific bacteria that spike dramatically in those who reach these remarkable ages: Odoribacter, Christensenella, and most fascinating of all, Akkermansia - the same bacteria that might help stage four cancer patients achieve complete remission through immunotherapy.What makes Dr. Li's revelations so powerful isn't just the science - it's how accessible these insights are. Your gut bacteria aren't set in stone; they're a living ecosystem you can influence through the foods you eat and the choices you make daily. When he explains that 70% of your immune system lives in your gut wall, communicating with your bacteria "like college students shouting at each other through a cheap wall in a dorm room," you suddenly understand why what happens in your gut determines not just how long you live, but how vibrantly you live.

The more I accomplished, the more I succeeded, and I just said, I need to make more to fill this hole of unworthiness." - Lewis HowesI built a multi-million dollar empire while secretly drowning in rage and self-hatred. For years, I masked my pain behind athletic achievements and business wins, believing that another milestone, another million, another accolade would finally make me feel worthy. But twelve years ago, sitting in an emotional intelligence workshop, something cracked open. I realized I'd been living as two different people - the confident entrepreneur the world saw, and the angry, "dumb" little boy I believed myself to be inside. That day, I created what I call a spiritual identity contract: three simple words that would rewire decades of trauma and transform not just my success, but my entire relationship with myself.The contract I'm sharing isn't some motivational poster mantra - it's a daily practice of becoming who you truly are beneath the wounds. From feeling too stupid to read in high school to writing three New York Times bestsellers. From competing to destroy others to building a platform that lifts millions. From pushing away love to attracting my soulmate. I reveal exactly how I turned anger into love, competition into passion, and the belief that I was "dumb" into deep wisdom. This isn't about positive thinking - it's about rewriting the very contract you have with yourself at the soul level.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Like the past is over and the person has a new view of their past, and they have a new view of their future." - Dr. Joe DispenzaDr. Joe Dispenza has spent decades studying something that sounds almost too good to be true: how the heart can literally reset trauma in the brain. In this raw conversation, he reveals the science behind why some people stay trapped in cycles of resentment and heartbreak while others seem to effortlessly let go and move forward. His research with veterans suffering from PTSD shows that when you learn to open your heart and feel genuine love - not the conditional "I love you because" kind, but the transcendent state of pure love - it sends a wave of energy to the brain that rewrites your relationship with the past. Dr. Joe doesn't just talk theory; he shares the brutal honesty of someone who's watched thousands of people transform their lives through this practice.What makes this conversation extraordinary is Dr. Joe's unflinching approach to both criticism and love. He reveals why being "badass good" at something is your shield against critics, and more importantly, how the daily practice of choosing love over survival emotions like frustration and resentment literally changes your heart's rhythm and brain coherence. When you're living in this elevated state, he explains, it becomes impossible to hold grudges - not because you're forcing forgiveness, but because you feel so good that you naturally release the past. This isn't feel-good philosophy; it's measurable science that could change how you process every difficult experience moving forward.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

It's kind of like Star Wars - how you use that dark energy and transform it into something positive." - Robert GreeneRobert Greene doesn't sugarcoat the truth about what drives greatness. The master strategist behind "The 48 Laws of Power" reveals something most people are afraid to admit: our darkest emotions - anger, bitterness, frustration - often contain the raw fuel for extraordinary achievement. He wasn't driven to write his first book by love and positivity, but by a burning need to prove everyone wrong. And he's not alone. Kobe Bryant openly confessed that his legendary competitiveness came from wanting to "crush" opponents on the court, channeling what he called his "dark energy" into becoming one of basketball's greatest players.This isn't about becoming a toxic person or letting anger consume you. Greene explores the delicate art of transformation - how champions like LeBron James harness their drive and competitive fire on the court, then channel that same intensity into building schools and giving back to their communities. The key isn't eliminating these powerful emotions, but learning to direct them toward something meaningful. If you've ever felt guilty about being driven by anger or frustration, this conversation will completely shift how you see your own motivation.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

If you're a generous, kind, joyful person, you're going to amplify that energy into the world when you have more money." - Lewis HowesI used to be that person who thought I had absolutely nothing to offer the world. Picture this: a broken football player, bottom of my class in school, completely terrified of money because I didn't understand taxes, investments, or how any of it worked. I remember thinking, "What skills do I possibly have that could ever make me money?" Those gifts I thought were completely pointless, maybe even embarrassing? They're exactly what built my multimillion-dollar business and created the School of Greatness. But here's what I wish someone had told me back then - your money story is keeping you trapped at a ceiling you don't even realize exists.After 12 years of interviewing the world's top financial experts and money masters, I've distilled everything into seven crucial habits that will shift how you think about, earn, and grow money. This isn't about complex investment strategies or get-rich-quick schemes. It's about owning your worth so you can finally earn what you deserve. Whether you're afraid that making money will turn you into a bad person, or you're convinced you don't have any valuable skills, I'm going to show you exactly how to break through those limiting beliefs and discover the hidden gifts that could change your financial future forever.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Sage reveals the profound shift that changed everything: realizing that fulfillment isn't a destination you arrive at, it's the breath you're taking right now. But it's her insights on motherhood that will completely reframe how you think about love, service, and the delicate balance between nurturing and enabling. She breaks down the uncomfortable truth about how we accidentally create the very behaviors we despise in others, and why saying "no" to the people we love most might be the greatest gift we can give them.This isn't just another conversation about mindfulness or parenting - it's a master class in understanding human nature from someone who's witnessed thousands of transformations alongside her husband Tony Robbins. Sage's wisdom about recognizing ourselves as "puzzle pieces" in each other's existence will shift how you show up in every relationship, whether you're a parent, partner, or simply someone trying to love better. Her perspective on generational evolution and the innocent arrogance we all carry will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about growth and self-awareness.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

And if I don't show up and film... we don't upload." - MrBeastPicture this: You've built something incredible, but now you're trapped inside it. MrBeast just finished filming 15 hours a day for 40 straight days, his mental health sitting at a brutal 5 out of 10, and he's facing the entrepreneur's ultimate paradox - he IS his business. While most companies operate like pyramids with the CEO at the top, his empire is completely inverted. Every YouTube channel, every massive project, every world-changing initiative runs through him. When he disappears to build wells in Africa for 10 days, he returns to find 20-hour days booked solid for weeks as every division fights for his attention.But here's what makes this conversation extraordinary - MrBeast isn't complaining, he's strategizing. He's cracked the code on something most successful people never figure out: how to transition from being irreplaceable to building systems that don't need you. From creating the most-watched unscripted show in streaming history to developing talent that can carry shows without him, he's literally rebuilding his 300-person operation to scale beyond his personal limitations. This is the blueprint for every entrepreneur who's ever felt like their success became their prison.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

You cannot base who you are and how you think of yourself on what anybody else, other than who's at this table and knows you thinks." - Michelle ObamaMichelle Obama arrived at Princeton carrying the weight of everyone who'd told her she didn't belong there. The guidance counselor who said she wasn't Princeton material. The voices questioning whether affirmative action, not merit, got her through those gates. But something shifted when she sat in those classrooms and looked around - she saw legacy kids, athletes, students who made her wonder "how'd you get here?" The realization hit her like lightning: if she could succeed at one of the world's top schools, then everything they'd told her about not belonging was a lie. The curtain had been pulled back on elitism, and she finally saw the scam for what it was - people wanting her to believe she didn't belong when she absolutely did.That experience at Princeton became her armor decades later when she faced the same doubts as First Lady. The questions about her patriotism, her education, whether she and Barack were "capable of representing our country" - it was the same playbook, just a bigger stage. But this time, she knew the truth her parents had taught her at their kitchen table: you can't base your worth on what anyone thinks except those who truly know you. She learned to filter everything - to let her communications team tell her only what she objectively needed to know, never reading the comment sections, treating both the extreme praise and vicious criticism with the same distance. Because when you trust your own experience over everyone else's opinion, you become unstoppable.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

That's healing." - Jillian TureckiThere's a moment in every relationship that defines everything - when your partner is having the worst day, you're exhausted, and every fiber of your being wants to check out. Relationship expert Jillian Turecki knows this crossroads intimately, and she'll tell you it's not the therapy sessions or self-help books that transform your love life - it's what you choose to do in that exact moment when showing up feels impossible. She's spent years helping people understand that healing doesn't happen in isolation; it happens when you're sitting on the couch with someone you love, deciding whether to lean in or pull away when it matters most.What Jillian reveals will flip everything you think you know about being "ready" for love. She breaks down why waiting until you're "perfect" is actually sabotaging your chance at real connection, and shares the precise mindset shift that separates couples who thrive for decades from those who flame out. This isn't about settling or tolerating bad behavior - it's about understanding the difference between deal breakers and the beautiful messiness of loving an imperfect human. If you've ever wondered whether you've healed enough to love someone fully, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been searching for.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

I give more of my money to causes that I care about, to my church, to people in need. I give more away and it's one of the greatest gifts." - Billionaire guests on School of GreatnessAfter 12 and a half years of sitting across from billionaires and millionaires, Lewis discovered something that completely flipped his understanding of wealth. The wealthiest people he's interviewed don't just hoard their money - they give more of it away each year. But here's where it gets deeper: most of us are unconsciously sabotaging our own financial success because we've bought into the toxic belief that rich people are inherently bad. We think that to be morally good, we must stay financially small. Lewis calls this out for what it is - a limiting belief that keeps us stuck and actually prevents us from making the positive impact we truly want to make in the world.This isn't just feel-good theory; it's a fundamental shift in how you approach money, success, and your own worthiness. Lewis breaks down why your peer group might not celebrate your wins (and why that's okay), how spiritual people can embrace abundance without guilt, and why having more resources actually allows you to serve at a higher level. If you've ever felt guilty about wanting more money or success, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about wealth and goodness.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

JEREMY LONDONPicture this: You've performed over 6,000 heart surgeries, and even with the lowest-risk operations, 1-2% of patients don't make it home. That's the reality Dr. Jeremy London has carried for 25 years as a cardiac surgeon. What's remarkable isn't just his surgical skill—it's how he's learned to hold the weight of life-and-death decisions while staying deeply human. He shared something that stopped me cold: after a quarter-century of holding people's hearts in his hands, losing a patient still feels exactly as devastating as it did on day one. And here's the twist—he says if that pain ever went away, he'd quit immediately.This conversation will change how you think about responsibility, attachment, and what it truly means to care deeply about your work. Dr. London reveals why the emotional burden of high-stakes decisions never gets easier—and why that's exactly as it should be. Whether you're a leader, parent, or anyone who carries weight for others, his insights about compartmentalizing without losing your humanity will shift something fundamental in how you show up for the people depending on you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Not am I full, not am I whatever, but am I truly hungry for the next bite?" - Mark SissonMark Sisson used to demolish a half gallon of ice cream every single night for five years straight. Not a pint, not a few scoops - the entire half gallon, like clockwork. If it was 10 PM and his freezer was empty, he'd drive to the store to get his fix. This wasn't just a sweet tooth; this was a full-blown sugar addiction that controlled his evenings. The breakthrough came when he flipped his entire approach to food: instead of asking "how much can I eat and get away with it," he started asking "what's the least amount I can eat while maintaining my energy and never feeling hungry?" That simple shift led him to discover he could thrive on 30% fewer calories than before, all by asking himself one question halfway through every meal.But Mark's optimization didn't stop at food - he completely transformed his sleep game too. Every night, he follows the same ritual: after dinner and some TV with his wife, he walks into his unheated pool (even when it's in the 50s), gets really cold without shivering, then jumps into the hot jacuzzi to recap the day. He finishes with another minute in the cold, towels off, and sleeps like a baby in a 67-degree room with blackout curtains. This isn't just about sleep hygiene - it's about recognizing that your body has signals for everything, from hunger to rest, and learning to actually listen to them instead of fighting against them.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

If you put in that decade of spending less and earning more, and you take this money and instead of buying that Gucci, you go out and you buy these assets - now those assets are paying you monthly or quarterly, and you can spend that money on whatever you want." - Jaspreet SinghJaspreet Singh built his wealth by understanding something most people ignore: recessions aren't random disasters - they're predictable patterns that happen every decade. While others panic when markets crash, he sees opportunity. But here's what separates him from everyone else giving financial advice: he doesn't just tell you to "invest more." He breaks down the brutal truth about why most people stay broke even when they make good money, and reveals the three-step system that turns financial chaos into wealth-building momentum. His story isn't about getting lucky or having a trust fund - it's about recognizing that building wealth works like building physical health, except with one massive advantage: the results compound forever.What makes this conversation different is how Jaspreet flips the script on traditional money advice. Instead of focusing on budgeting and penny-pinching, he shows you how to think like wealthy people who build "reserves" that keep paying them even when they stop working. You'll discover why the longest period without a recession in modern history just ended, what that means for your money right now, and the exact strategy he used to find profitable real estate deals even during the hottest housing market ever. This isn't about sacrificing everything you enjoy - it's about understanding the difference between spending money and investing it, so your future self can afford whatever you want.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Twelve and a half years ago, when he launched The School of Greatness podcast with zero broadcasting experience and no idea what he was doing, he had something more powerful than skills or equipment: a crystal-clear intention. Not a goal to hit certain download numbers or build a platform, but an intention to create the school he wished he'd had growing up - one that taught real-life lessons about money, relationships, emotions, and health that traditional education never covered. That intention, born from his own struggles and gaps in learning, became the foundation for everything that followed.This isn't about setting goals or grinding through to-do lists - it's about identifying what you've been lacking in your life and intentionally stepping into that energy. Feel disconnected? Set an intention to be connected. Missing joy? Choose to be playful. Lacking gratitude? Decide to live from appreciation, even when someone cuts you off in traffic. When you shift from reacting to your circumstances to living from intention, doors open in ways you never expected. People are drawn to your energy, opportunities appear, and you start manifesting from a place of authentic being rather than desperate doing.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
