You need to invest... it just means owning a piece of the world." - Chris CamilloChris Camillo grew up in a neighborhood where million-dollar homes were the norm and investing wasn't a choice—it was just what wealthy families did. But as an adult, he realized something that haunted him: he was making incredible money off the very technological advances that were leaving other people behind, simply because no one had ever taught them what his privileged upbringing made obvious. Now he's on a mission to change that, and his approach will shatter every excuse you've ever made about not having enough money to start investing.What makes Chris's perspective so refreshing is his brutal honesty about the AI revolution that's coming for all of us. Instead of fearing the "industry of intelligence" that could devalue human labor, he shows you exactly how to profit from it—starting with as little as $5. His philosophy isn't about living below your means or making dramatic sacrifices; it's about finding tiny pockets of money you're already wasting and turning those forgotten dollars into your future wealth. This conversation will completely rewire how you think about money, technology, and your place in an increasingly automated world.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Should schools be able to punish students for things they do outside the classroom? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the controversial new rule in Victoria, Australia that gives schools the power to suspend or expel students for what happens off school grounds, even online or on the weekend. Through her signature lens of reflection and heart, she asks a bigger question: Are we shaping behaviour through fear of consequence, or through the quiet cultivation of character? You’ll learn: *Why true values are built outside the classroom, not within it.*How integrity shows up in unseen moments.*The mean comment your child posts on a Friday night might feel small in the moment, but it can have lasting consequences when they walk back into school on Monday. This episode isn’t just about school policy. It’s about what kind of people we’re helping raise and who we’re choosing to be ourselves. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

This week I had the absolute joy of chatting with the incredibly grounded & inspiring Magdalena Roze — and what a beautiful conversation it was. If you don’t already know Magdalena, she’s a meteorologist, journalist, author, passionate foodie, and a true master of living intentionally. But what I adore most about her is the way she blends ambition with authenticity, showing us all how to live a full, meaningful life that’s also deeply soulful. In this episode, we talk about her journey — from national television in Sydney to building a slower, more purposeful life in Byron Bay. She shares how she transitioned careers, faced uncertainty with courage, and allowed her passions to guide her toward a new version of success. Here are four powerful takeaways you can expect from our conversation: The magic that happens when you don’t take no for an answer — and how to gently persist toward your dreams. What it really feels like to leave a successful career and completely reinvent yourself. How to blend creativity, family, and community into a deeply fulfilling life. Why slowing down doesn’t mean doing less — and how to create space for clarity and creativity. Magdalena’s warmth and honesty will leave you inspired, especially if you’re standing at a crossroads or dreaming of something new. Tune in, soak up the inspiration, and dream. ✨ As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend

Then he did something most people would call insane: he liquidated everything he owned, bought a boat, and set sail around the world with nothing but his cat for company. The kicker? He'd never done anything like this before. While fighting for his life on the open ocean, his authentic documentation of this journey went viral, gaining him almost a million followers in just 10 days. But the real breakthrough wasn't the social media success - it was the internal shift that made it all possible.What Oliver discovered will shake you to your core: the secret to overcoming paralyzing fear isn't positive thinking or motivation - it's making peace with your worst-case scenario. When he genuinely accepted that he might end up broke and alone, something magical happened. The fear that had been holding him prisoner for years suddenly lost its power over him. His story is proof that sometimes the most "irresponsible" decision you can make is actually the most responsible thing you can do for your soul.

Kim Becker, President and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, is leading a bold transformation at the San Diego International Airport—starting from the inside out. We explored how she's intentionally cultivating a culture that supports change, empowers leaders at every level, and aligns with a fast-evolving environment. Coming out of the pandemic, Kim knew the way they worked had shifted. Rather than revert to what was, she saw the opportunity to design something stronger.We heard how she started with the executive team and expanded the conversation across directors and managers—uncovering surprising gaps and building a shared culture statement together. We've seen how she uses everyday team meetings and real-life moments to embed new leadership mindsets, from listening to thoughtful decision-making. It's not a program. It's a way of thinking and working that's now infused into coaching conversations, strategy sessions, and hallway chats. Her story reminds us that culture change doesn't require sweeping declarations—it starts with intention, consistency, and the courage to have real conversations.Key Takeaways:1. Culture Grows from the Inside - Start with leadership alignment but let the full team help shape and own the culture.2. Empowerment Changes Everything - When mid-level leaders are trusted and included, they bring energy and clarity that transforms the whole.3. Real Conversations Matter - Culture shifts happen when we're brave enough to name gaps, share reactions, and stay at the table.4. Make Mindsets Practical - Embedding culture happens when values become part of everyday language, meetings, and habits.5. Start with You - Culture change begins with modeling what you want others to adopt—even before you announce it.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment)How can you inspire our team to be more proactive, take ownership and get more done?You demonstrate and empower The Courage of a Leader.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Most couples rush into marriage without building the foundation that actually matters, but Martha Higareda Howes, accomplished actress and my wife, shows us what intentional relationship preparation looks like. We dive deep into our year-long marriage preparation journey, revealing the workshops, therapy sessions, and difficult conversations that created unshakeable unity before we even said "I do." Martha vulnerably shares how she learned to break free from controlling patterns rooted in childhood safety mechanisms, while I open up about requiring acceptance over perfection from a partner. The most powerful moment comes when Martha demonstrates true partnership by choosing our marriage agreements over family pressure during our wedding day crisis, proving that real love means protecting the relationship you're building together. Anyone dating seriously, engaged, or married will walk away with a blueprint for creating the kind of relationship that thrives under pressure rather than crumbles.Martha on InstagramThe Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life TodayThe Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest LivesThe School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a LegacyIn this episode you will learn:How to break free from controlling relationship patterns that stem from childhood safety mechanismsThe marriage preparation program framework that creates unshakeable foundations before your wedding dayWhy accepting your partner completely is more powerful than trying to change themHow to navigate family boundaries when creating your new marriage unitThe conflict resolution method that prevents resentment from building over timeFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1788For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Caroline Fleck – greatness.lnk.to/1774SCMatthew Hussey  – greatness.lnk.to/1782SCStephen Chandler – greatness.lnk.to/1756SC Get more from Lewis!

When we say you've got a disease, that's like a death sentence." - Dr. Caroline LeafDr. Caroline Leaf drops a truth bomb that challenges everything we've been told about mental health: getting diagnosed by a professional might actually make your struggles worse, not better. She's watched countless people trap themselves in permanent identities around being "diseased" when anxiety, depression, and overwhelm are actually just information - signals from your mind telling you something deeper needs attention. While we rush to label cardiovascular disease because we can trace it back to the heart, she reveals there's still no confirmed neurobiological cause for mental health conditions, yet we use the same medical language that implies lifelong illness.What makes this conversation revolutionary is how she reframes mental struggles as four simple signals - emotions, physical sensations, behaviors, and perspective shifts - that point toward what's really happening in your life. Instead of accepting a diagnosis that locks you into being "anxious" or "depressed" forever, she shows you how to use these signals as a compass for deeper reflection and real healing. This isn't about dismissing professional help, but about changing the language and approach from disease management to understanding the information your mind is trying to give you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

How can we grow into our full potential?—living up to what we know is the best version of ourselves, actualizing our goals, and expressing our deepest purpose in a life of impact and love?Grounded in cognitive science and psychology, best-selling author, podcaster, educator and researcher Scott Barry Kaufman believes that we need to redefine our understanding of greatness and excellence to include our whole selves—our emotions, dreams, failures, and gifts—all to live a life that is fully human, fully yourself.In this conversation with Scott Barry Kaufman, we discuss:Education and formation for the whole person, not just our intellect but our bodies, emotions, and spiritualityMaslow's hierarchy of needs and the journey that leads to self-actualizationThe difference it makes to see the world through growth rather than our deficienciesWhat it means to thrive even in the midst of mental illnessThe horizontal dimensions of transcendenceAnd how to connect and align with your deepest valuesEpisode Highlights“You can be mentally ill and thriving.”“Self-actualization is bringing your whole self to the table—not just one part of you.”“Real transcendence is about becoming one with the world—not being more enlightened than others.”“People are far more likely to demand respect than to give it.”“Only you can walk the path.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit scottbarrykaufman.comThe Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry KaufmanChoose Growth Workbook by Kaufman & Feingold*Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization,* by Scott Barry KaufmanScientific American: Spiritual NarcissismThe Lights Triad Personality TestSensitive Men Rising DocumentaryMaslow's Hierarchy of Needs Reimagined – Big ThinkCorey Mascara Podcast on ValuesShow NotesOrigin Story and Human ComplexityScott shares his journey from being labeled “ungifted” with an auditory disability to becoming a cognitive scientist.A pivotal teacher asked, “What are you still doing here?”—sparking self-belief and ambition.“I was a champion for the quirky kids from the start.”His work has shifted from an early obsession with greatness to a lifelong pursuit of self-actualization.“Greatness is tied up in power and status. Self-actualization is about bringing your whole self.”Reimagining Maslow & The Sailboat MetaphorKaufman replaces the hierarchy of needs with a dynamic sailboat metaphor.The boat represents safety (security, connection, self-esteem); the sail represents growth and transcendence.“Unless we open our sail and become vulnerable to the wind, we can't move toward what matters.”Adds collective dimension: “There are other boats in the sea. Some people forget that.”Contrasts “horizontal transcendence” (connection) with “spiritual narcissism” (superiority).Mental Illness, Creativity, and ThrivingChallenges the binary between wellness and illness: “You can be mentally ill and thriving.”Cites research showing creative strengths in children of those with mental illness.“They get the goodies without the baddies—the imagination without the psychosis.”Dismantles false dichotomies in psychiatry: labels vs. lived experience.Encourages integration rather than repression of neurodivergence and emotion.Alignment, Identity, and Individual GrowthAlignment—not perfection—is the goal of self-actualization.“Self-actualization coaching isn't about judgment. It's about helping people align with their values.”Different people prioritize different values: connection, power, freedom, meaning.Encourages reflection: What roles do you cherish most? What do you say yes and no to?“Ask: What's my reason for being? What legacy do I want to leave?”Moral Psychology and MatteringDiscusses mattering and the perils of performative self-importance.“Some people matter too much… they take up so much space, there's no room for others.”Proposes a “mattering ecology” for shared dignity and contribution.On moral flexibility: “People who scream loudest often don't like themselves.”Calls for emotional regulation, reflection, and collective moral grounding in a polarized world.Relationships, Whole Love, and SpiritualityIntroduces the concept of “whole love”—where all parts of the self are seen, accepted, and growing together.“It's as simple and as hard as that.”Critiques spiritual narcissism and “dark empaths” who use others for ego validation.Real empathy requires asking: “Am I helping this person for their sake—or because I need to be needed?”“Good character doesn't need an excuse.”Practical Takeaways & Coaching ToolsDirects listeners to Choose Growth, a practical workbook co-authored with Dr. Jordan Feingold.Reflection prompts: What am I proud of? What do I wish to change? What's my legacy?Encourages clarity around values and meaningful roles.Offers self-coaching questions to foster personal development and alignment.Provides listeners with tools for discernment, purpose, and sustainable growth.Pam King's Key TakeawaysScience and spirituality work together as an integrated pursuit of truth.Intelligence is so much more than a thought-process.Self-actualization leads us well beyond the self.Life is like a sailboat: so let the wind fill your sails as you dance on the waves toward our most valued harbor—and may the tides rise for all of us.To be a whole-person means resting in a loving compassion for ourselves and others—an openness and oneness with the world.“Many people could carry you across the bridge, but only you can walk the path.”About Scott Barry KaufmanScott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive scientist, author, and humanistic psychologist exploring the depths of human potential.

DescriptionIs there an overlap between the art of preaching and the skill of acting? This is something that I have wondered about for a long time. Having spent time on only a few acting stages - not the lease of which earned me a college best actor award at my alma mater for playing a young man with elephant ears - but I digress? Is preaching performative? Yes, in some ways. Is preaching the same as acting? No, of course not, but the overlap and where that line is fascinating and what preachers can learn from great actors is super practical. In my conversation with Tanner Kalina today we dig in to these very questions and might even have discovered some answers!

In today's episode, I break down the habits, mindset shifts, and uncomfortable decisions that lead to lasting growth. I talk about the importance of narrowing your focus, protecting your energy, and making peace with the fact that not everyone will grow with you. I explain why feeling like a fraud is often a sign you're on the right track, and how burnout happens when you try to serve everyone but yourself. From setting non-negotiables to releasing what no longer fits, I share what it really takes to stay aligned with your purpose. Greatness doesn't come from doing everything;it comes from doing the right things consistently.

Now that is the most important thing that you can say to a child." - Kobe Bryant's dadPicture an 11-year-old Kobe Bryant, all knees and elbows with oversized knee pads, playing in Philadelphia's legendary Sonny Hill League where Wilt Chamberlain once dominated. For an entire summer, he didn't score a single point. Not a free throw, not a lucky shot, not even a breakaway layup. Zero. While other kids relied on natural athleticism, Kobe was crying after games, devastated by his failure. But his father's response in that moment of crushing defeat planted the seed for everything that followed - unconditional love that gave him the security to fail and the fire to prove himself anyway.What happened next reveals the mathematics of greatness that most people never calculate. While other kids practiced maybe two hours twice a week, Kobe obsessively trained two to three hours every single day, methodically building a menu of skills - first shooting, then creating shots, then speed. He focused on fundamentals while others coasted on talent. The transformation was staggering: by age 14, just two years later, he wasn't just good - he was the best player in the entire state of Pennsylvania. Kobe breaks down exactly how he engineered this quantum leap and why the simple math of daily obsession beats sporadic talent every time.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

That kid was Matthew McConaughey, and what he wrote down that night would seem absolutely insane to anyone else - "win an Oscar for best acting" - except he wasn't even an actor yet. He was just a film school student who was too afraid to even admit out loud that he wanted to perform, yet somehow had the audacity to dream of Hollywood's highest honor in the privacy of his own thoughts.Years later, after actually winning that Oscar, McConaughey discovered that old journal entry and experienced one of those spine-tingling moments that makes you question everything you think you know about dreams and destiny. His reaction says it all: "Are you kidding? Get outta here!" But here's what's really profound - he never looked at those goals again after writing them down, yet somehow "knew what they were" all along. This conversation reveals the mysterious power of turning invisible dreams into physical contracts with yourself, and how his father's simple but devastating advice - "Don't half-ass it" - became the driving force behind everything that followed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Oliver Widger went from working a corporate job he hated to sailing solo across the Pacific Ocean with nothing but his cat Phoenix and an unshakeable belief in chasing impossible dreams. After learning he had the spine of someone over 120 years old, Oliver spiraled through three years of partying and self-doubt before accidentally posting a video of himself in his work uniform declaring he "absolutely hated this life" - a mistake that changed everything when it went to all his bosses. Now weeks into a solo voyage from Oregon to Hawaii, Oliver has gained nearly a million followers while proving that the most below-average person can achieve extraordinary things through pure determination. This conversation reveals how facing your mortality can become the greatest gift, why crossing the point of no return is the only way to truly live, and how anyone brave enough to spin a globe and jump can transform their biggest fears into their greatest adventures.Oliver's TikTokOliver's InstagramIn this episode you will learn:How a devastating spine diagnosis became the catalyst for the greatest adventure of Oliver's lifeWhy accidentally posting your breakdown video to your bosses might be the best mistake you ever makeThe simple strategy Oliver used to overcome overwhelming self-doubt: solve only the problem directly in front of youHow to find your purpose by asking yourself one ridiculous question: what crazy thing do you actually want to do?Why becoming completely comfortable with dying poor is the secret to unlimited freedomFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1786For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Pat Flynn  – greatness.lnk.to/1777SCMuniba Mazari – greatness.lnk.to/1684SCMark Manson – greatness.lnk.to/1750SC Get more from Lewis!
