Nir Eyal spent six years researching why brilliant, talented people consistently fall short of their potential, and what he found will surprise you: it's not a lack of knowledge, resources, or intelligence holding most people back. It's the invisible belief system running silently in the background, shaping every decision you make without your awareness. Most of us are walking around with beliefs forged in survival mode, and we're using them long after they've stopped serving us. The good news is that beliefs, unlike facts, are tools you can examine, update, and swap out. In this conversation, Nir walks you through the motivation triangle that explains why willpower and information alone never work, and the exact four-step turnaround process that rewrites the beliefs costing you peace, progress, and connection. Whether you're struggling with a goal that keeps stalling, a relationship that stays stuck, or a quiet voice telling you that you're not enough, this episode gives you a practical way out. The Greatness Playbook: The Belief Breakthrough Edition Nir's books: Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products Indistractable, Updated Edition: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Breakthrough Results In this episode you will: Learn the exact four-question turnaround process Nir uses daily to dissolve limiting beliefs about people, including the one about his own mother that changed everything Discover why being "too smart" can actually work against you and how liberating beliefs outperform facts when it comes to achieving what you want Understand the motivation triangle and why you'll never stay consistent on behavior and benefit alone without the third element most people skip entirely Find out why positive visualization and manifesting can actually decrease your chances of success and what athletes do instead that works Understand why the words you say out loud about yourself become your biology, and how to use secular prayer as a tool for pain tolerance and inner peace For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1896 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes [SOLO] Dr. Joe Dispenza James Clear Get more from Lewis!

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1893DM Leslie John reveals something fascinating about human connection: when you share your hopes and dreams with someone, it literally activates the pleasure centers of your brain. That's why opening up feels so good. But it's also why relationships get weird when the sharing only goes one direction. She tells a hilarious story about walking up to Jerry Seinfeld like they were old friends and immediately regretting it. It's the perfect example of how lopsided familiarity tricks our brains. Leslie breaks down the "dance of reciprocity" that builds real trust, where both people gradually reveal more and raise the stakes together. Lewis gets honest about spending years as an over-giver and people pleaser because he needed everyone to like him just to feel emotionally safe. Leslie reframes boundaries in a way that changes everything: every no is actually a yes to something that matters more.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1591DM Venus Williams shares something that stopped Lewis cold: 45% of girls globally quit sports by age 14 because of low body confidence. Venus turned pro at that exact age. She talks about what identity really means to her, and it's not what you'd expect. It starts with being unapologetically yourself. Not waiting for permission. Not needing approval. She and Serena once laughed at a book series teaching resilience because they learned it the hard way, pushing their mile times down and beating the clock. Venus also gets honest about what it was like growing up African American in spaces where being proud of who you are wasn't always easy. Her message is simple: it doesn't matter what you look like. What matters is what's inside you and whether you let it out. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Shaun White admits that losing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics had nothing to do with his body and everything to do with his heart not being in it. That honest reckoning launched a years-long process of rebuilding from the inside out, patching broken relationships, ditching a fake social media persona, and assembling a team that actually shared his vision. Then a training crash in New Zealand left him with 62 stitches and lungs full of blood just months before the 2018 Olympics, forcing a gut-check question: how badly do you really want this? His answer carried him to a third gold medal and the most emotionally charged finish of his career. Whether you are chasing a world record or a business breakthrough, Shaun's approach to mental resilience, goal-setting, and self-discovery applies directly to your life. Buy a copy of Shaun's book Shaun White: Airborne In this episode you will: Discover why raw talent is never enough to win when your heart is not fully committed to the goal Learn how resolving personal and relational friction off the field can unlock peak performance on it Understand why pairing a massive goal with small, specific, even playful sub-goals keeps motivation alive Recognize the trap of delayed happiness and how to find fulfillment along the path rather than only at the finish line Build a mental framework for separating your self-worth from outcomes so loss stops defining you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1895 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Amy Purdy Lindsey Vonn Mikaela Shiffrin Get more from Lewis!

“I don't care about backlash or any comments because In life you are going to be the hammer or the nail, I'm the hammer.” John Brown We've been waiting on this one, especially Channing who met his match in someone who is even more unapologetic than he is about approaching life, his family and his backlash. On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with John Brown — former Mr. Universe, strategic coach, podcaster and father of NFL star Amon-Ra St. Brown — for a powerful conversation about parenting with purpose and raising professional athletes from the ground up. His parenting groundwork is built on being number one and not teaching kids to compete, but to dominate by any means necessary, always outworking and outplaying your competition. Ryan, Fred and Chan push back on this style, asking questions that get a quick and fiery response. Known for his disciplined, no-excuses approach to training and life, John Brown shares how his background in elite bodybuilding shaped the structure, mindset, and daily standards inside his household. From homeschooling and intense training sessions to language lessons and early morning workouts, he breaks down the intentional system he built to prepare his sons for excellence — not just in football, but in life. John is very confident with his style as he shares the philosophy behind raising self-motivated, high-performing kids, how structure and routine build long-term confidence, the way of teaching discipline without crushing individuality and the difference between talent and preparation, His life story — from competitive bodybuilding to building a family legacy More than a sports conversation, this episode dives deep into a rare form of love, family bonds, accountability, and what it truly takes to raise professionals in today's world. Whether you're a parent, coach, or young athlete, this discussion offers a blueprint for developing resilience, work ethic, and generational greatness.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1892DM Amy Purdy was 19 years old when she walked into a Las Vegas hospital feeling sick. Within 24 hours, every organ except her heart and brain was failing. Doctors told her parents she had less than a 2% chance of living. She was put into an induced coma for two and a half weeks while her body fought septic shock. Her last memory before going under was watching her dad sign the life support paperwork while everyone around her was crying and she was gasping for air. When she finally woke up, she was still hooked to a room full of machines with tubes down her throat. Her feet had turned black. She'd lost both legs below the knees and nearly lost her hands. And somehow, even in the worst moments, part of her brain was thinking, "Aren't we all taking this a little too seriously?" That spirit is what carried her through everything that came next.

Have you ever felt exhausted by a life you once prayed for and then wondered why you're struggling to hold both gratitude and tiredness at the same time?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on a simple line that stopped her mid scroll and shifted the way she thinks about exhaustion, growth, and meaning. She explores the idea that some forms of tiredness are not a sign that something is wrong, but evidence that you are living a life you chose on purpose.You'll learn:How to tell the difference between being tired because you're stuck and tired because you're growingWhy meaningful lives are often full, demanding, and emotionally stretchingHow to rest without guilt while still honouring what you've builtThis episode is an invitation to soften your judgment and look at your tiredness with curiosity instead of criticism. To remember why you chose this life, to rest when you need to, and to honour the fact that you didn't end up here by accident. You built this.

Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! In manufacturing, most leaders don't struggle because they lack technical knowledge. They struggle because they're not connecting with their teams. When skill gaps widen, labor shortages grow, and hiring challenges persist, it's rarely an operations problem. It's a leadership and communication problem. That's exactly why I wrote Manufacturing Greatness, releasing May 11, 2027 with Page Two. This book is for Operations Managers, Production Managers, Manufacturing Managers, and Shift Supervisors who want high performing teams that stick around and consistently deliver results. Leaders who are ready to move beyond telling people what to do and start leading through curiosity, communication skills, and deeper conversations. Inside, you'll find practical tools to strengthen safety culture, improve employee engagement, support workforce retention, and build a workplace where teams work together, get results, and stay. Now I need your help. We've narrowed the subtitle down to five options, and I want the manufacturing community to weigh in. 1) How to Be More Productive with the People You Already Have 2) How Curious Leaders Strengthen Relationships to Improve Safety, Quality, and Productivity 3) How to Show Up, Clarify Expectations, and Instill Accountability to Streamline Your Operation 4) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Work Together, Get Results, and Stick Around 5) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Connect, Deliver, and Stick Around Email me at trevor@manufacturinggreatness.com and let you know about favorite subtitle option!

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1891DM Jillian Turecki gets brutally honest about the mistakes she's made in her own relationships, from codependency to low self-worth to closing herself off from love when stress took over. She breaks down why attraction alone will never be enough to build a lasting relationship. The real question isn't "are they great?" It's "are they great for you?" And answering that means getting painfully honest about who you actually are, not who you wish you were. Lewis shares his own turning point after years of healing work, where he realized he'd rather be happy alone than abandon his values for a relationship. The takeaway that hits hardest: if you feel fragmented and you think another person is going to bring all the pieces together, you're setting yourself up for constant disappointment. Find your own wholeness first. Then find someone whose baseline is already joy. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why do civilizations turn against their own greatness, and what happens when they do? In this episode of Context with Brad Harris, we trace the psychology of civilizational decline, from the Great Wall of China and the Apollo program to the Department of Justice's 2026 lawsuit against UCLA Medical School, asking why modern Western culture increasingly treats excellence as a moral threat. Drawing on Alain de Botton's book Status Anxiety and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, we explore how status anxiety breeds resentment, how resentment disguises itself as compassion, and how institutions captured by this cycle begin to reward narrative over competence, with consequences that can be lethal. This episode builds on my previous episodes Which Humanity Survives and Layers of Meaning in Human History to ask: do we still have the civilizational courage to revere greatness?

Miracle (2004) -A Film Buff Review and the greatness of director Gavin O'Connor
Leslie John drops a finding that stops most people cold: couples married an average of 12 years guessed what their partner was thinking and feeling correctly only 20% of the time. That gap between how well you think you know someone and how well you actually know them is where relationships quietly break down. It's the same dynamic playing out in friendships, at work, and in families everywhere. You think you're saving people discomfort by holding back, but what you're actually doing is building a wall you can't see. Leslie walks through the science of "disclosure decisions," the hundreds of small choices you make each day about what to say and what to swallow, and what it costs you over time when the scales tip too far toward silence. Learning to share with the right people, at the right moments, with the right context isn't just good communication. It's how you build the kind of relationships that actually hold. The Greatness Playbook: The Communication Mastery Edition Leslie's book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing In this episode you will: Discover why undersharing, not oversharing, is quietly destroying your closest relationships and what the research says about the real cost of silence. Understand how "mind reading expectations" create a hidden trap in romantic relationships and learn the simple shift that breaks the cycle before resentment builds. Learn the one question that can open any conversation with a guarded partner and why leading with your own vulnerability is more powerful than finding the perfect words. Recognize how the things you leave unsaid pile up into a weight that erodes your self-respect over time and what it takes to start speaking your truth again. Apply the science of the feedback sandwich, including what the research actually found about which part matters most, so you can deliver hard truths in a way people can actually hear.

His first principle? You don't rise to moments. You fall to the level of your training. Every single time.That extra rep at the gym when your body screams to stop. Staying in a hard conversation just a little bit longer when you want to bail. Those aren't just isolated moments. They're training sessions.And you're always training something. The way you frame this conversation right now. The way you responded to the cold eggs you ate this morning. All of it is shaping how you'll respond when it really counts.Here's the reality check: 84% of people live right around average in the way they approach their live's. Not because they lack talent. Because they never fundamentally organize their life around what matters most. Most people don't even make that decision. Without awareness of how you're working with your thoughts and emotions? You don't have a fighting chance at becoming what you're capable of.This is what post-traumatic growth actually looks like when you've been training for it your whole life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when obsession meets purpose, rejection becomes fuel, and your greatest breakdown turns into the foundation for breakthrough?In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WHOOP. What began as a college athlete's curiosity about overtraining has become one of the world's most influential performance and health platforms, used by elite athletes, leaders, and everyday high performers across the globe.Will shares the real story behind building WHOOP, including early rejection, near financial collapse, panic attacks, and the intense personal cost of scaling a billion dollar company in his early twenties. He opens up about stress, meditation, recovery, sleep, and why mastering your inner world is just as important as mastering your body.In this episode, you will learn:Why obsession, not ideas, is what separates founders who succeed from those who quitHow rejection and self doubt are unavoidable parts of building something meaningfulWhat a panic attack taught Will about stress, leadership, and recoveryWhy sleep and recovery are the hidden drivers of performance and longevityHow meditation became a non negotiable tool for clarity and decision makingWhy greatness comes from doing hard things, not avoiding themThis episode is a powerful reminder that growth lives on the other side of discomfort, and that a life of greatness is built by those willing to listen to their body, face pressure head on, and keep going when it would be easier to stop.This episode of A Life of Greatness is proudly sponsored by Biohack Wanderlust.

And, we're off! Thanks, everybody, for giving our renewed Lectionary.pro format a try. Please continue to offer your comments and suggestions. Just like the original Lectionary Lab, we want to be helpful to working preachers. (“Jesus and Nicodemus”, from the Seventh-Day Adventist Bible Discussion page)RCL Readings: • Genesis 12:1–4a; Psalm 121; Romans 4:1–5, 13–17; John 3:1–17Text Summaries• Genesis 12: 1-4aGod calls Abram to leave home, security, and everything familiar, and to trust a promise he cannot yet see fulfilled. The promise is bigger than Abram's private future: through him, God intends blessing for all families of the earth. Abram's obedience is strikingly simple — “So Abram went” — and that trustful response becomes the model of covenant faith. In Lent, this text frames discipleship as movement: leaving old certainties, walking by promise, and trusting God's future over present control.• Psalm 121This psalm is a confession of trust for travelers, pilgrims, and anyone feeling exposed. Help does not come from the hills themselves, but from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. The psalm repeats God's “keeping” care: God watches over going out and coming in, by day and by night, now and forever. Rather than denying danger, it places vulnerability inside God's faithful attention. In a Lenten key, it teaches believers to pray honestly about risk while resting in the God who does not slumber.• Romans 4:1–5, 13–17Paul presents Abraham as the prototype of faith: righteousness comes through trusting God's promise, not through human achievement or law-keeping. If inheritance depended on performance, promise would collapse; instead, it rests on grace so that it can include all who share Abraham's faith. God is described as the One “who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist,” grounding Christian hope in God's creative power. During Lent, this text shifts the center from religious scorekeeping to grace-shaped trust and hope.• John 3:1–17Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night, sincere yet confused, and Jesus tells him that entry into God's kingdom requires birth “from above” — a Spirit-given new beginning, not mere religious competence. Jesus draws on Israel's wilderness story (the lifted serpent) to show that healing and life come through looking in faith to what God provides. The passage climaxes in God's love for the world: the Son is given not to condemn but to save. For Lent, this gospel invites people out of spiritual nighttime into rebirth, faith, and the light of God's saving mercy.Major Themes1. Faith before sight, or perhaps through sight (looking) when our focus is on God2. Promise grounded in grace3. New birth, new life in Christ4. God's keeping care in uncertain journeys5. Salvation as gift, not achievementPreaching ArcThe Call → The Keeper → The Promise → The New Birth1. The Call (Genesis 12): God calls us forward before we have full clarity.2. The Keeper (Psalm 121): We are sustained on the road by God's watchful care.3. The Promise (Romans 4): Righteousness and the future are received by faith, not earned by performance.4. The New Birth (John 3): God doesn't just improve us; God makes us new in Christ.From uncertain beginnings to Spirit-born life, faith walks forward on promise, kept by grace.A Sermon Outline“Called Before We're Ready”Core Claim: God calls us forward by grace, keeps us on the road, and gives new life through Christ.1. Opening: the discomfort of being called into the unknown2. Genesis 12: Abram's yes before clarity3. Psalm 121: God keeps us while we travel4. Romans 4: promise by grace, received by faith5. John 3: new birth is God's work, not self-improvementApplication: one step of trust this weekClosing: we go because God is faithfulOne-sentence takeaway: In Christ, we are called, kept, and made new — so we can take the next faithful step even without full certainty.An Illustration: Does anybody remember the Dunkin' Donuts commercial that featured a bleary-eyed baker rising early every morning, saying, “Time to make the donuts?” Believe it or not, that's a basic illustration of faith in something intangible. A baker starts work at 2:00 a.m. There is no smell of fresh bread yet, no customers, no visible result — just measured ingredients, kneading, waiting, and trust in the process. Hours later, what was unseen becomes nourishment (of a sort) for many.Preaching Bridge: “Faith is often bakery work: done in the dark, trusted before dawn.” (Image from the Upper Room, Discipleship Study Guide)Narrative Lectionary Text: John 13:1-17Text SummaryAt the supper before his passion, Jesus rises, takes a towel, and washes the disciples' feet. Peter resists, then overcorrects, and Jesus teaches that receiving him means accepting this upside-down pattern of love. Jesus, their Lord and Teacher, performs a servant's task and commands them to do likewise. Greatness in his kingdom is expressed through humble, embodied service.Themes Present1. Servant leadership — authority in Jesus is expressed through self-giving care.2. Love made concrete — love is not sentiment; it takes the form of action.3. Receiving before doing — discipleship starts with letting Christ minister to us.4. Humility over status — the gospel dismantles rank-driven identity.5. Imitation of Christ — “as I have done for you” is the shape of Christian community.Preaching ArcIdentity → Humility → Command → Community1. Identity: Jesus knows who he is and where he is going.2. Humility: Secure in that identity, he kneels to wash feet.3. Command: “As I have done for you, you also should do.”4. Community: The church becomes recognizable by practical, mutual, humble love.Because Christ stoops to serve us, we are formed into a people who serve one another.A Sermon Outline“The Towel and the Basin”Core ClaimJesus redefines greatness through humble service, and discipleship means receiving his love and then embodying it toward others.Big MovementStatus → Surrender → Service → WitnessOutline (7–8 min)1. Opening: Our instinct for rank• We naturally measure importance by visibility and control.• Jesus gives a different picture at the table.2. John 13: The shock of the scene• Jesus knows who he is and where he is going.• Precisely from that security, he kneels and washes feet.• True authority is not threatened by service.3. Peter's resistance: Why this feels hard• Peter resists being served.• Discipleship begins with receiving grace, not performing for God.• We cannot give what we refuse to receive.4. “As I have done for you”• Jesus moves from act to command.• Foot washing as pattern: embodied, practical, inconvenient love.5. What this means for a small (or any) congregation• Hidden service is central ministry, not secondary work.• Church health is measured by how we treat one another in ordinary moments.• The towel may look like meals, rides, prayer, repair, listening, forgiveness.Application for the week• Receive: where do I need to let Christ serve and cleanse me?• Serve: one concrete act of humble care.• Repair: one relationship step that lowers pride and raises love.Closing• Jesus is most recognizable when kneeling with a towel.• The church is most faithful when it does the same.One-Sentence TakeawayIn Christ's kingdom, greatness looks like a towel and basin: we receive his love, then kneel to serve.An Illustration: “The CEO with a Mop”A story gets told in leadership circles about a company after a major event: everyone leaves, trash is everywhere, and the cleaning crew is short-handed. One employee comes in early and sees the CEO quietly pushing a mop and picking up cups. No announcement. No photo. No speech. Just service.That moment reshaped the office culture more than any memo did. People said, “If he can do that, none of us are above serving.”John 13 is deeper than leadership technique, but the point lands: Jesus, knowing exactly who he is, takes the towel. Real authority is not threatened by humility.Preaching bridge: In Christ's kingdom, the towel is not beneath us. The towel is how love becomes visible. This is a public episode.

This week we dive into Matthew 18 and discover that Kingdom living requires Kingdom change. Jesus calls us to detox pride through humility, remove sin instead of managing it, pursue the one who's lost, seek reconciliation over division, and release unforgiveness through mercy. Greatness in God's Kingdom isn't about position—it's about transformation. Detox your ways for God's ways and begin to reflect the King.
Dynasties are rare. Most teams rise, win for a season, and fade. A superstar retires. A coach leaves. The chemistry shifts. What once felt inevitable suddenly looks fragile. Sustained excellence is far harder than a single championship run — it requires standards that survive ego, systems that outlast individuals, and a culture strong enough to hold its shape under pressure. But a small handful of organizations manage to sustain excellence for decades — across generations, coaches, and changing eras. The real challenge isn't winning once; it's continuing to win as the faces change, the pressure intensifies, and expectations evolve — and understanding the kind of leadership that makes that possible.So here's the real question for leaders, founders, coaches, and executives: What creates sustained high performance—and how do you build a culture that wins not just once, but over generations?Welcome to Tuesdays with Morrisey. In the latest episode, host Adam Morrisey sits down with leadership consultant, speaker, and bestselling author James Kerr to explore what the legendary New Zealand All Blacks—and other elite teams—can teach us about leadership, identity, and legacy. Drawing from Kerr's global work across sport, business, and the military, the conversation dives into how culture is shaped, how identity becomes performance, and why the best teams think beyond the individual.Top takeaways…Success is often countercultural. Great teams and individuals stand out as a result of doing something different. Sometimes it's the simple and obvious things — showing up consistently, orienting toward service, lifting others up, or playing the long game. In the episode, James paraphrased Anna Karenina: “Dysfunctional teams are dysfunctional for all sorts of reasons; highly functional teams are highly functional for the same reasons.”The best teams — whether in sport, culture, or business — have shared identities, beliefs, and a sense of belonging. The All Blacks, for example, represent a nation and are committed to the idea that the team is bigger than the individual, captured in the players' effort to “leave the jersey better than you found it.” When you look at great teams and cultures, they usually share a common story, mission, vision, and values. James commented that “first we shape our story, and then our story shapes us.”Greatness often comes from humility and doing the little things right. The All Blacks have a practice of cleaning their own locker room after each game, known as “sweeping the sheds.” In each of our domains, there are things that seem small, but the true masters of the craft understand their importance.Meaning comes from deciding that something matters and then choosing to take responsibility for it. Whether at your job, in your fitness routine, or at home, there is a shift when you commit to a particular thing and own it. James gives the metaphor that levels of maturity and meaning are reflected in the number of keys on your keyring, representing the different things you are responsible for or looking after.Emotional regulation is leadership. This has been a consistent theme throughout the 65+ episodes of the podcast. In order to lead others, we must first lead ourselves, and in times of crisis, people often turn to the person who is the calmest. If we can't regulate ourselves, we risk repeating patterns and losing the ability to lead ourselves or others forward.Topics covered:Why the All Blacks are the most sustained high-performing team in historyCulture versus talent in elite performanceIdentity, story, and belonging in leadershipHumility and responsibility as cultural pillarsSweeping the sheds and servant leadershipThe haka as ritual, meaning, and psychological preparationCohesion as a competitive advantageSelf-regulation and calm under pressureLeadership as responsibilityCulture built through teamsContribution, meaning, and legacyLong-term thinking in sport, business, and lifeJames Kerr is an international leadership speaker, performance coach, and the bestselling author of Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life. He works with elite sports teams—from the Premier League to Formula One—alongside Wall Street firms, leading technology companies, and military units to build high-performance cultures. Through his work, he helps leaders translate vision into standards, purpose into practice, and culture into a sustained competitive advantage.

Amy Purdy was a 19-year-old with big dreams when meningococcal meningitis put her in a coma within 24 hours of her first symptom, leaving her a double-leg amputee fighting her way back from 83 pounds and kidney failure. Her story isn't just about survival; it's about a near-death experience that gave her a quiet certainty that everything would make sense in the end, and how that faith became the foundation for everything she built next. Most people let obstacles define the outer edges of their lives, but Amy turned hers into a launchpad, spending 12 years innovating her own prosthetic feet to compete at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics. You'll hear how she stopped competing for medals and started competing for the girl in an Italian mountain village who drove four hours just to ask how it's done.

Over 100 wins. Youngest slalom gold medalist ever. More than a decade at the absolute top.And she's still in disbelief about all of it.The moment that stopped me: when she thinks "I want to win," she never wins. Other athletes can win just by wanting it badly enough. For her, wanting to win is the kiss of death.So what does she think about instead? Making really good turns. That's her entire philosophy. She even calls it boring. But that boring focus built the greatest skiing career in history.She figured this out at age eight, watching her idol Bode Miller get torn apart after disappointing Olympic performances. She saw how pressure and public opinion crushed even the greatest athletes. Right then, she decided: focus on the craft, ignore the glory.That decision protected her from the thing that destroys most champions—believing their own hype.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/1888DMThere's a belief running under the surface that's keeping you from everything you actually want. It sounds like "who do I think I am?" when you dream about a relationship where someone truly loves you, when you consider financial freedom, when you think about that creative project your friends think is crazy.Lewis gets raw about the inner critic we've all trained. The voice that says you're not smart enough, not talented enough, that you're a failure. He breaks down why we turn failures into identity instead of feedback, why we learned to overwork and overachieve just to feel validated, and why we self-sabotage right before things go well. The shift isn't about ego or thinking you're better than anyone. It's simpler and more profound: worthiness is believing you don't have to punish yourself to deserve a good life. You failed at walking as a baby a thousand times and never called yourself a failure. That same truth applies now. Stop blocking what's trying to reach you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Michael Gervais opens up about surviving a head-on car collision at 70 miles per hour and how decades of psychological training shaped his response in that split second.The high performance psychologist, who has spent 14 years inside NFL locker rooms and coached athletes through four Olympic Games, shares why he believes humans don't rise to moments but fall to the level of their training.He breaks down what he calls "the danger line," that messy emotional edge where growth actually happens, and explains why most people never practice getting there in their careers, relationships, or conversations with loved ones. Gervais also delivers a pointed warning about youth sports in America, revealing how untrained coaches are shaping the psychological development of children in a system where 99.95% won't achieve their athletic dreams.Whether you're navigating a career setback, building mental resilience, or raising kids who can thrive without tying their worth to performance, this conversation offers a framework for training your psychology the same way elite athletes train their bodies.The Greatness Playbook: The Psychological Strength EditionGet your copy of The First Rule of MasteryFinding Mastery PodcastIn this episode you will:Recognize why performance-based identity fuels achievement but never delivers freedom, and what to build insteadDiscover why negative self-talk is actually a protective mechanism borrowed from childhood and how to replace it with what Dr. Gervais calls "the epic thought list"Learn the difference between optimism, agency, and efficacy and why every world-class performer Dr. Gervais has met shares one of these traitsUnderstand how "fight, flight, freeze, and submit" plays out in boardrooms and relationships, not just physical dangerApply the "support then challenge" framework that the best coaches and parents use to unlock potential without causing psychological harmFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1890For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Jim CurtisMel RobbinsDr. Caroline Leaf Get more from Lewis!
