I am coming at you again with another solo cast this week. This time around I am sharing some of my favorite takeaways and insights from Lewis Howes Summit of Greatness. I invite you to listen in as I get vulnerable in sharing some of my own struggles as of late. I also dive deep into how important it is to be in the moment, “living where your feet are,” as well as the whole idea of believing you are enough just as you are right now. If you are finding yourself in a space where you feel stuck and a little down in the dumps, then this will for sure inspire and empower you to raise your belief in who you are and your belief in your own unique, beautiful greatness! Also, if you are interested in checking out the amazing event I attended, the Summit of Greatness, then please head to https://www.summitofgreatness.com to learn more!!!
Fair warning to you before you start listening to today’s episode – I am en fuego! Having just attended Lewis Howes’ Summit of Greatness and being surrounded by 1,500+ big thinkers, there’s no way I couldn’t be. It’s events like these that force me to take chances and go for the things that scare the living crap out of me! “Fear is your invite for growth.” The purpose of life is growth and progress. We are all meant to find what makes us fulfilled and happy, but sometimes that’s the thing we fear the most. As an exercise, I want you to write down the 10 things you’re most afraid of – they can be big or small. These are your next steps. From here, circle the least scary step – or perhaps the scariest step. Whichever you choose, act on it, no matter how uncomfortable or scared you are. Rejection or failure is inevitable, but the biggest gifts are on the other side. No, I’m not super human, but I will say after receiving 21 rejections on my books, I am grateful for them because they helped me land the publishing company that liked it! Plus, consistently doing the things that I have fear around helps me grow and throughout that process I’m also showing thousands of others that they too can do it. Most recently one of my fears is about sharing a spoken word poem I wrote for my friend, Danette May’s event this weekend. I love doing this, but I’m terrified of what others think! (Be sure to tune in because I’m sharing a small portion of it with you.) But here’s the thing, I want to grow and I don’t want to leave this world living up to anything less than my highest potential. I do mess up while reading it, but I’ve left it in because I want you to see that sometimes we have to mess up and let others see it in order to free them as well. I hope it gives you some of that freedom, too. So today, stop playing small. Do something messy, unplanned or share something that doesn’t feel good. And be sure to share it with me over on IG…I love hearing from you! -- In This Episode Lori talks about: Why the purpose of life is growth and progress Why the biggest gifts are on the other side of fear Her upcoming spoken word performance Resources: Round 2 of the book tour is taking place in November!

That’s why the people who have worked with him as a coach separate their lives into two categories: before working with Chris and after. Chris has spent the last 27 years leading powerful leadership seminars all around the world, he is a pioneer in the field of emotional intelligence (what he shared at Lewis Howes’ Summit of Greatness event blew my mind), he’s trained everyone from Olympic athletes to Fortune 500 business leaders, and he is the best selling author of Transform Your Life: 10 Principles of Abundance and Prosperity.

My history with today’s guest, Kyle Maynard, goes back a decade or so to my banking days when I heard him speak at an event and left completely inspired. Imagine my surprise when I met him again two years ago and got a chance to talk with him at Lewis Howes’ Summit of Greatness event. I’m so glad that we were able to get him on For the Love of Money and share more with all of you! Many of you have likely heard about Kyle and his epic story. But for those who don’t know, he was born with a rare condition called congenital amputation that left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end around his knees. He credits his parents for helping him navigate life with this challenge (without prosthetics) and for encouraging him that anything was possible. And wow, did he ever prove that there were no limits – so much so that others felt his “disadvantage” was actually an unfair advantage! In Kyle’s younger years, he found success in both wrestling and football, but most recently he became famous for becoming the first man to climb (bearcrawl) Mount Kilimanjaro. Today he continues to thrive on physical challenges, however he’s added an extra focus on photography and film. Kyle shares his incredible story and “No Excuses” philosophy in the hope that it inspires others to banish their excuses and make the world a better place. My hope is that his story inspires you to do the same. -- Question Highlights: What was it like to climb Mount Kilimanjaro? Is filming/photography your new rush? How many times a year do you speak? What does your hustle look like now? What common threads do you see between those who are successful and those who are not? Where are you going to take this newfound love for photography and film? What’s one of the best business decisions you’ve ever made? How can people get past their BS excuses? Now that you’ve raised your speaking fees, do you see a difference in the quality of events that you speak at? What cause(s) do you care the most about and what causes should we be more aware of? In This Episode We Talk about: Kyle’s childhood journey growing up with congenital amputation Using doubts to fuel you to be and do better Kyle’s success in athletics (wrestling, football, crossfit) Kyle’s Mount Kilimanjaro climb (bearcrawl) The importance of quality relationships (the “beer test”) What it means to do the “deep work” The value in creating a structure for decision-making Learning from your excuses How and why Kyle raised his speaking fees And so much more… Kyle’s Thoughts… “The map is not the territory.” – Alfred Korzybski “Focus on the deep work.” “Create a structure so you don’t have to make the same decisions all the time.” “There is no end to our excuses.” “No excuses give you the freedom to try.” -- Kyle Maynard is an entrepreneur, speaker, best-selling author, award-winning extreme athlete, and the first man to bearcrawl to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet), and the summit of Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua (22,838 feet), the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres. Born with a rare condition known as congenital amputation, that left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end near his knees, he learned early on to live life independently and without prosthetics. Kyle thrives on physical challenges and is a champion wrestler, CrossFit Certified Instructor and gym owner, competitive Mixed Martial Arts fighter, world record-setting weightlifter, and skilled mountaineer. He is on a mission to make the world a better place and to inspire others to do the same by sharing his story and living by example. He travels across continents, speaking to thousands of executives and students, athletes and warriors, to share his "No Excuses" philosophy. He is a humanitarian who passionately supports numerous charities, and commits time and resources to work with wounded and recovering U.S. military veterans. Kyle is the New York Times best-selling author of his life story, “No Excuses,” and the focus of the moving ESPN documentary, “A Fighting Chance.” His story has been featured in countless television programs and editorials, which have been viewed by millions around the world. -- Resources: http://www.kyle-maynard.com IG: @kylemaynard No Excuses by Kyle Maynard -- For more stories and tips on becoming unapologetically wealthy, follow me @Chriswharder on Instagram and check out fortheloveofmoney.com.

What is greatness? Have you ever thought about it? We look at athletes and leaders and musicians and say they are “great,” but what do we really mean? It has something to do with skill and competence, but there’s more to it than that. It has to do with the character that has enabled that person to achieve the things they have, to attain levels of expertise or knowledge or ability that few others reach. On this episode Lewis Howes talks with Anthony about what it means to be great and what it takes to get there. You won’t hear a better conversation on the subject of greatness, so be sure you set aside the time to listen to this one. Lewis Howes on What Is Greatness and How to Be Great - on this episodeClick To Tweet Becoming a great speaker, entrepreneur, and coach. Lewis Howes was a 20-something year old when he walked into an Ohio Toastmasters group where he first met Anthony Iannarino. It was there that Anthony saw Lewis mature into a truly powerful speaker who was aiming at the top - at greatness. The two of them quickly became friends and each think deeply about the subject of greatness - that’s why this conversation is so enjoyable. You’ll hear Lewis talk about his own pursuit of greatness as a speaker, business leader, coach, and athlete - and you’ll get to hear his thoughts on what truly makes a person great in any discipline. What does it take to achieve greatness? When asked the question Lewis Howes gives a few responses. First, in order to achieve greatness Lewis believes that you have to believe that you are worthy to reach the point of being called “great.” If you’re not able to believe that you deserve it you’ll likely never be able to accomplish it - and even if you do, you won’t believe you have. But more so, it has to do with belief in your ability to reach a point of greatness at all. If you want to hear more of Lewis’ insights into the topic this episode is for you. What does it take to achieve greatness?Click To Tweet What is greatness? How would YOU define it? Naturally, every discipline or area has its own particulars as to what makes someone “great” in the field of competitors or participants. For that reason alone “greatness” cannot be defined by a set of acquired skills. It has more to do with the inner person, the character, discipline, and mindset they bring to the things they do.
