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/1879DMLewis gets brutally honest about something most of us are doing right now without realizing the damage: avoiding hard situations. Like, for Lewis, having hard conversations with people. He used to sweat thinking about difficult talks with people he cared about, overanalyzing every word, dreading the discomfort so intensely that he'd just... not do it. But here's what he discovered: that avoidance wasn't protecting anyone. It was creating constant stress in his body, this low-grade anxiety that never went away. He was abandoning himself every time he chose comfort over truth. And the longer he waited, the louder that internal scream became, slowly eroding his self-trust and self-belief.Here's the shift that changes everything: confidence doesn't come from affirmations or motivation or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from doing the one uncomfortable thing you've been putting off. Maybe it's that conversation, that call, that message you need to send. Whatever it is, it's probably creating more stress by avoiding it than actually doing it would. Even something as simple as moving your body for 10 minutes daily builds self-respect because you're showing up, you're listening to yourself, you're proving you can do hard things. Consistency beats intensity every single time. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who avoids discomfort and start seeing yourself as someone who handles it (who maybe even loves it) everything changes. Do one hard thing today. That's it.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/1878DMYour body is basically a crowded planet, and the gut is the capital city. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz drops the kind of perspective-shift that makes you sit up straight: around 38 trillion microbes live in you, and he paints a wild “football field” picture where almost all the genetic code in your body belongs to them. Then he connects the dots to why you might feel exhausted and inflamed: 70% of your immune system is stationed in the gut lining, right next to those microbes, separated by just a single layer of cells. When that gut barrier gets weak, unwanted stuff slips through, your immune system stays activated 24/7, and that chronic low-grade inflammation starts quietly wrecking the neighborhood.The takeaway lands hard because it's personal: your microbiome reflects your life. Food choices, sleep, circadian rhythm, exercise, connection with your partner, even old trauma patterns, all leave fingerprints in the gut. Instead of treating inflammation like a mystery enemy, this conversation nudges you to focus on the gate, the gut barrier, so your immune system doesn't have to live on high alert. It's a grounding way to think about healing: less panic, more rebuilding, and a reminder that small daily choices can move you from constant internal stress toward real, steady energy.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/1372James Clear doesn't want to give you advice. That might sound strange coming from the guy who wrote Atomic Habits, but here's what he's learned: advice is brittle. What worked for someone else can completely fail you because your context is different. So instead of prescriptions, James offers something more powerful: questions that adapt to whatever season you're in. He talks about falling into this trap where we optimize for what we think we're supposed to be doing, chasing goals that other people encourage while our actual desires get buried. The shift happens when you ask yourself what you're really optimizing for, whether it's money or creative freedom or family time, and then honestly evaluate if your current habits are carrying you toward that future or away from it.The tennis match metaphor he shares cuts through all the noise about control. You don't control what the other player does, but you absolutely influence the game with your own moves. Most of life sits in that space between total control and complete helplessness. James pushes you to ask how you might be contributing to the very situations you say you don't want, which sounds confrontational until you realize it's liberating. It means there are levers you can pull. And when habits stop serving you, it's not about guilt. Sometimes they just outlived their usefulness. These questions keep you honest about whether the daily choices you're making are actually building the life you want or just the life you think you should want.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tabitha Brown reveals the prayer that changed everything: "God, if you heal me, you can have me."After battling chronic illness for a year and seven months, she made a choice that terrified her, to stop pretending and start living as her authentic self. The transformation didn't just heal her body. It cost her friendships, tested her marriage, and forced her to walk away from the version of herself she'd spent decades creating.On the other side of that bathroom prayer, she found something more valuable than any acting role or endorsement deal: freedom. Her journey from conforming in corporate America and Hollywood to building a multimedia empire on authenticity proves that when you finally stop performing for approval, abundance finds you. The path forward starts with one question you need to ask yourself today: What mask are you wearing, and what would happen if you took it off?Tabitha's books:Cooking from the SpiritFeeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)Seen, Loved and Heard: A Guided Journal for Feeding the SoulI Did a New ThingHello There, SunshineIn this episode you will:Learn the signs of confirmation that keep appearing in your life and what they're trying to tell you about your purposeBreak through the fear of losing relationships when you step into your truth and understand why some people can't come with youDiscover why habitual prayer kept you stuck and how to shift into true connection that transforms your realityUncover the difference between dreams deposited inside you and goals you create, and why only one will let you restMaster the practice of obedience over sacrifice and why choosing the harder path now creates the easier life laterFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1880For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis HowesToby RobbinsDr. Daniel Amen Get more from Lewis!

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/1877That moment when Lewis says he didn't want to speak up when friends bullied other kids because he wanted to belong feels painfully familiar, like a memory your nervous system saved in HD. Brené meets him there and drops the gut-punch research: fitting in is a constant scan of the room, deciding who to become so you won't be left out, and the price is betrayal. You can feel the tension in the paradox she names, wanting connection while quietly disappearing inside it, and the harsh truth that it's not sustainable.The practical move is small but ruthless: catch yourself in the “Who do I need to be right now?” spiral and replace it with “Who am I, even if it's awkward?” Choose one place this week to stop performing, even in a tiny way, like saying what you actually think or not laughing at the joke that makes someone smaller. Belonging everywhere starts when you can walk into any room and not abandon yourself just to be liked, because real freedom is being able to stand alone without feeling lonely.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A neuroscientist and brain surgeon told Lewis that emotional regulation is the single most important skill every human being should master, yet most of us were never taught how to do it.You know that feeling of waking up already exhausted, scrolling your phone before your feet hit the floor, and saying yes to things that drain you just to avoid conflict. Most people are burned out not because they are doing too much, but because they are doing too much of what does not actually matter to them and too little of what brings them joy.These nine practices are not about overhauling your life overnight. They are small, stackable habits like protecting your first ten minutes each morning, naming your emotions without judgment, and creating mental closure before bed so tomorrow gets the best version of you.Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer LifeThe 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:Discover why your attention is your most valuable resource and how giving it away first thing in the morning sets you up for a reactive, stressful dayMaster the art of setting boundaries that protect your energy without pushing people away so you can stop resenting the people you said yes toUncover the hidden cost of avoiding hard conversations and how tackling one uncomfortable thing each day compounds faster than motivation ever willUnderstand why consistency beats intensity when it comes to movement and how even ten minutes of daily exercise builds unshakeable self-respectLearn the simple shutdown ritual that will help you stop carrying today's stress into tomorrow and finally wake up feeling restedFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1879For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes [SOLO]Dr. Joe DispenzaDr. Marc Brackett Get more from Lewis!

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/1876Lewis spent most of his life performing. Pretending to be confident when he was actually insecure. Acting like he knew things when he didn't know anything. Living inside this cage where he'd only do things he knew others would accept, terrified of being laughed at or looking foolish. But here's what shifted everything: the moment he stopped pretending, stopped beating himself up after every failure, and allowed himself to stumble and say "I don't know" out loud. That's when mentors appeared. That's when opportunities showed up differently. His ego shrank and his growth exploded because he finally gave himself permission to be seen trying and failing and making mistakes.The biggest trap isn't failing. It's fearing what other people will think when you fail. It's the judgment, the disappointment, the "I knew she couldn't do it" whispers you imagine happening behind your back. But when you let go of that imaginary need to have everything put together, when you admit you're not supposed to be perfect, something profound happens. You stop taking failure personally and start seeing it as proof you're evolving. You're not a failure because something didn't work. You're a success because you're putting in the work, getting feedback, and improving. That's where wisdom lives. That's where your entire world opens up.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/1875Tony Robbins goes straight back to the messy origin story: judging his natural father, chasing his mother's love, and realizing he'd let her interpretations become his identity. Then life does what it does best, drops a plot twist at 2:00 a.m. He's a teenage janitor, 16–17 miles from home, and a stranger tells him there's a bus strike. No ride. No money. No safety net. So he runs the whole way, fueled by anger at first… until anger burns off and something cleaner kicks in.That run becomes his blueprint: not “positive thinking,” but full-body incantations—words plus emotion plus repetition—until the mind finally gets the memo. He breaks down the difference between push (willpower, grit, grind… and eventual burnout) and pull (a mission that yanks you forward when willpower taps out). The mic-drop is identity: train it hard enough and it becomes the strongest force you've got—because you'll fight to stay consistent with who you believe you are.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He's an introvert who can “perform” like an extrovert on stage, but big groups drain him dry. And when things go sideways with people who think totally differently, his solution isn't some mystical personality hack. It's brutally practical: set expectations early, agree on goals and methods, decide what someone can own without checking in, and measure progress with real numbers.Then he drops the kind of advice that can save your relationships and your blood pressure: when you're angry, don't send the email. Let it sit. If it's still true tomorrow, you can say it tomorrow. And when someone messes up, assume overwhelm or disorganization before you assume betrayal. That one tiny assumption change flips the tone of everything you read, everything you say, and what kind of leader (or partner) you become.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brené Brown reveals that the opposite of belonging is actually fitting in, and why that distinction matters more than you think.She opens up about still feeling lonely despite speaking to thousands, and explains how belonging to yourself is both the hardest and most essential work you'll ever do.You'll learn why every act of courage requires vulnerability, why shame thrives in silence, and how speaking your truth deflates its power. This isn't about becoming fearless, it's about choosing courage over comfort even when your voice shakes, and finally writing the ending to your own story instead of letting it write you.Brené's books:I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn't)Daring GreatlyRising StrongBraving the WildernessDare to LeadYou Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black ExperienceAtlas of the HeartThe Gifts of ImperfectionStrong GroundIn this episode you will:Master the practice of belonging to yourself first, so you can show up authentically everywhere without betraying who you really are.Understand the direct relationship between vulnerability and courage, and why you cannot be brave without being willing to face uncertainty and risk.Discover why fitting in is the opposite of belonging and how changing yourself to be accepted actually destroys your chance at true connection.Learn the proven process for dealing with shame when it shows up, including why speaking it out loud is the only way to strip away its power.Break through the myth that vulnerability is weakness and recognize it as the birthplace of every meaningful achievement in your life.For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1877For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes [SOLO]Eric ThomasDr. Marc Brackett Get more from Lewis!

Her therapist didn't coddle her. She gave tough love, called her out, and became the steady anchor Melissa never had, right when Melissa's nervous system was trying to drag her back into old patterns.The part that sticks is how she explains the “wheel of anxiety” that shows up the moment she opens her eyes, even after years of doing the work. The win isn't never having the dark thought, it's learning how to step off the wheel, reconnect, and choose a different direction in real time. This is about spotting when you're manufacturing chaos, understanding why calm can feel unsafe, and building the daily devotion to yourself that makes peace feel like home again.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lewis shares the moment he realized that achieving his biggest goals left him feeling exactly as empty as before, discovering that success amplifies who you already are rather than fixing what's broken inside.He walks you through the painful process of confronting the wounds he spent years trying to outrun through achievement, explaining why your unhealed pain will always surface in your relationships, habits, and ability to lead.You'll learn why comfort feels safe but acts as a trap that keeps you stuck, how your ego protects you while simultaneously limiting your growth, and why the most liberating moment of your life happens when you stop waiting for someone to rescue you. This isn't about motivation or quick fixes, it's about the uncomfortable work that creates lasting transformation and genuine inner peace.Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer LifeThe 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:Discover why chasing achievement without inner work creates an endless cycle of emptiness and how to build true worthiness from the inside out instead of seeking it through external validation.Understand the difference between being fearless and being familiar with fear, and why taking action before you feel ready is the only way to build genuine confidence.Break through the exhausting pattern of wearing masks to protect yourself and learn why vulnerability is actually strength trained in silence, not weakness.Uncover how your inner circle either expands or limits your future in every moment, and why choosing your friends is literally choosing the trajectory of your entire life.Transform your relationship with failure by recognizing that your ego, not the failure itself, is what stops your growth, and why being seen while trying and failing opens up entirely new levels of opportunity.For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1876For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Daniel AmenPrice PritchettDanny Morel Get more from Lewis!

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/1873Lewis gets brutally honest about the gap between knowing and doing. He shares how writing down his first book goal with specific daily word counts forced him to stop waiting for inspiration and just show up. The breakthrough wasn't complicated. He gave himself a deadline, created measurable actions, and built confidence through imperfect daily progress. You might be saying you've heard this advice before, but have you consistently implemented it? That's why another year flies by and you're left with wishes instead of wins. The brutal truth? Vague goals like "get healthy" or "make more money" keep you stuck in your head. But when you write "work out four days a week" or "increase income by 20% in six months," you're forced to ask how you'll actually make it happen.The most powerful part is Lewis's prescription for building confidence: do the thing that scares you every single day. If you're single, ask someone out daily. If you're broke, ask someone for money daily. Whatever makes you feel embarrassed or humiliated, that's your daily practice. Lewis reminds us that the biggest breakthroughs come from simple foundational principles we've forgotten to follow. Writing it down isn't magic, it's a trigger that moves your goal from your mind into the physical world where you can see it, measure it, and take action on it. The year is going to fly by regardless. The only question is whether you'll end it saying "I accomplished" or "I wish."Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sarah taught English writing at Old Dominion University and at the University of Texas at El Paso. She lives with her husband, Dr. Brian Waterman, their dog Gilbert, and cat Tularosa in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. About The Book: In 1969, twenty-three-year-old starlet Lori Lovely, the apple of Hollywood's eye, shocks the world by ditching a promising film career to take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience as a Benedictine nun. Gossip columnists and scandal sheets can't get enough of the story. Why would such a beautiful girl take the veil? Was she hiding from someone? Did it have anything to do with her costar, heartthrob singer Lucas Wesley? In 1990, Lu Tibbott is under the gun to complete her senior thesis in modern American history. Instead of spending weeks in dusty archives, Lu decides to dig into a true twentieth-century mystery and write about her aunt Lori, now the Mother Abbess at a cloistered convent in rural New England. Biographers, journalists, and media types have long speculated about her aunt Lori's sudden departure from Hollywood. Mother Lori, however, has refused all requests for interviews—until Lu arrives at the abbey with a tape recorder in hand. To her delight, Mother Lori announces she's finally ready to talk…but only if Lu is truly ready to listen. Lu is shocked to discover that the story of Lori Lovely's rise in Hollywood was far more tumultuous than she'd ever expected, a fairy tale twisting with ambition, unforeseen alliances, forbidden love, and secrets. What began as a history thesis now threatens to upend all their lives with its unexpected truths, especially as the media gets wind of Lu's project and begins to ask… Whatever happened to Lori Lovely?

Tony Robbins shares a truth that will stop you in your tracks: every limiting belief you have comes down to one core fear, and once you understand it, everything changes. The conversation moves from his childhood in LA where four different fathers shaped his identity, to the night he ran 17 miles home doing incantations that built the unstoppable force he is today. You'll learn why most people approach breakthroughs in reverse order, starting with strategy when they should start with state, and how that single mistake keeps them locked in place.

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/1872Here's what nobody tells you about chronic work stress: it doesn't just make you tired or irritable. It shuts down your ability to feel anything at all. Guy Winch has worked with hundreds of people who thought they'd fallen out of love with their partners, only to discover something more unsettling. They hadn't fallen out of love. They'd gone numb. When you're treading water with the stress level up to your neck, your brain does something protective but devastating. It turns off the feelings to help you function. The problem is, it doesn't just turn off the stress. It turns off everything. You come home at the end of the day, and when your partner goes to hug you, you're stiff. You're still in work mode. You can't feel the warmth, the connection, the love. And after enough times being rejected like that, your partner stops being a fan too. That's when the real distance starts.Guy reveals something that changes everything: your partner probably didn't change at all. You did. And here's the breakthrough that makes this bearable to hear. You can change yourself back. Stop telling yourself your job is "very stressful" because that narrative reinforces the numbness and keeps you on constant alert. Even firefighters, who literally run into burning buildings, describe their jobs as "intermittently stressful" because they recognize the downtime. If they can reframe their reality, you can too. Find the moments between the stress. Prepare your favorite lunch. Listen to music that brings you joy. Crack jokes with coworkers. Create tiny pockets of feeling throughout your day. Lower the water level first, then reconnect with what you love. Your relationship isn't broken. You're just drowning, and you need to learn how to breathe again.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/1470Mikaela Shiffrin won almost every race by over two seconds in her breakthrough season. The next year, when she won by six tenths of a second, people said she was getting slow. The victory itself wasn't questioned, but suddenly winning alone wasn't good enough. She had to win by more. This shift created something she'd never experienced before: performance anxiety so severe she was vomiting at the start of almost every race. Not from fear of losing, but from fear of the disappointment that came with not exceeding expectations that had become completely unrealistic. Even people closest to her would say things like "it'd be so great if you could just stomp on this race." She knew the expectations weren't realistic, but she didn't know how to explain that. So she raced anyway, and people took four to five years to catch up to the fact that her early dominance was a moment in time, not a permanent standard.The breakthrough came from recognizing that exhaustion isn't weakness. After winning her 85th World Cup victory, everyone assumed number 86 the next day was a done deal. But she'd raced seven times in ten days across Europe. She was mentally and emotionally disconnected, not because she lacked skill or drive, but because she was human and tired. Sometimes you just need one recovery day. She's learned to recognize when expectations are unrealistic, when media questions are trying to insinuate feelings rather than ask honestly, and most importantly, that people will eventually catch up. Excellence doesn't mean you have to exceed impossible standards every single time. Sometimes winning by six tenths is still extraordinary, even if two seconds was once possible.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/1871Eric Thomas went to college for one reason: to be with his wife, Didi. That's it. Not for the degree, not for the career, just for her. So when they got married, he figured he was done. But she looked at him and said something that changed everything: "I can't be with you if you don't finish what you start." That moment launched him on a 12-year journey to complete a four-year degree while living with the weight of an absent father, growing up in abandoned warehouses, and getting kicked out of school. He didn't get his PhD until he was 44. And instead of seeing himself as behind, he realized something profound: the further you pull back a slingshot, the more powerful the release. His delays weren't failures. They were preparation for the impact he was meant to make.Here's what will hit you hardest about this conversation: Eric could have blamed everything and everyone for holding him down. The circumstances were real. The struggles were legitimate. But the breakthrough came when he realized the greatest enemy wasn't outside circumstances. It was himself. When you compare your timeline to someone else's, you're measuring your journey against someone who has completely different strengths, weaknesses, and purposes. The person graduating in four years might be heading toward a traditional job. You might be preparing to change the world. That takes longer. So stop judging yourself by someone else's clock. The obstacles only hold you down when you allow them to. When you shift from "outside inside" thinking to "inside out" living, everything changes. You're not behind. You're being developed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lewis opens with a hard truth: goals don't fail because your dreams are too big, they fail because your system is too weak. He shares the exact framework he's used for 13 years to show up consistently for his podcast, master public speaking from a place of crippling fear, and build multiple streams of success. Through personal stories of sleeping on his sister's couch while dreaming of speaking on big stages, Lewis proves that massive transformation starts with micro actions you take today.He breaks down how writing your goals increases success by 43%, why accountability kept Mr. Beast and his mastermind partners locked in for 1,000 consecutive days, and how celebrating progress instead of chasing perfection will change your relationship with achievement forever.

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/1870Dr. Caroline Leaf was a young scientist in the 1980s when she decided to swim directly against everything the medical establishment believed about the brain. Back then, if you were in a coma for more than eight hours, doctors considered the brain damage irreversible. You were written off. Done. But she met a 16-year-old girl who'd lost an entire year of school, functioning at a second-grade level, labeled a "vegetable" by her doctors. Every expert said attempting to get her back to graduate with her peers was pointless, not even worth trying. Eight months later, that girl caught up to 12th grade, finished school with her class, earned a university degree, and became exceptional at math when she'd been average before the accident. This wasn't compensation or coping strategies. This was her brain actually rebuilding itself through systematic, intentional mind management.Here's what matters for your life: you don't go even three seconds without using your mind, which means every moment you're either directing it or letting it run wild. Dr. Leaf spent decades working everywhere from apartheid-torn South Africa to Rwanda war zones to CEO boardrooms, and what she discovered is that you can't control what happens to you, but you can absolutely learn to manage your mind. Real greatness isn't about millions in the bank or fame. It's about mental peace, actual growth, being satisfied with who you're becoming. Your brain isn't fixed. Your limitations aren't permanent. And the person you think you are right now? That's just the beginning of who you could become if you learn to direct your own neuroplasticity instead of letting life do it randomly.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guy Winch reveals that when you're stressed at work, your partner at home can actually start developing symptoms of burnout themselves, even if they don't work. The most surprising truth? Your workday doesn't end when you close your laptop. It ends when you stop thinking about work, and most people never truly clock out. He exposes why relaxation alone won't recharge you after mental exhaustion and shares the counterintuitive actions that actually restore your energy. This isn't just about surviving your job.

You are literally making it harder for them to help you." - Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa Van Edwards shares research that will make you rethink every email you've ever sent. Researchers had people take a simple math quiz with two different sets of directions. One group got basic instructions. The other got the exact same directions, but with a few words swapped in: win, succeed, master, greatness. Those achievement-oriented words didn't just change how people felt. They performed better. Got more answers correct. Worked longer and harder. Enjoyed it more. And here's what's wild: reading those words actually changed their dopamine and testosterone levels. Then Vanessa dropped the real bomb. Think about the last email you sent your team on a Monday morning. Did it say something like "today's going to be a busy day, we have a lot of challenges ahead"? Those words are priming your team to be busier and more challenged. You're making it harder for them to help you without even realizing it. She shared another study where they put a picture of an athlete winning a race on top of telemarketers' scripts. Just that simple visual cue made them earn more money.What hit hardest was when Vanessa said we're missing opportunities in every single email we send. Every communication is either priming someone for success or failure. She challenged listeners to go back through their sent folder and count the priming words they're using. Are you filling your emails with "busy" and "challenges" and "problems"? Or are you sprinkling in words like "win" and "succeed" and "master"? Lewis shared how he used to cover his walls with motivational posters and Rocky images in high school and college, unknowingly priming himself for achievement every single day. That's the shift Vanessa's asking us to make. Look at your environment. Look at your language. Every word you choose is either setting people up to perform at their best or making it harder for them to succeed. The research is clear. The choice is yours.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I know how to make money. And it was such an empowering feeling." - Leila HormoziLeila Hormozi was 21 years old when she closed her first personal training sale for $1,300. She wasn't confident. She didn't believe in herself. But in that moment, something clicked that most people spend their entire lives trying to understand: money is a skill, and skills can be learned. "From the words that came out of my mouth to somebody," she remembers, still struck by the power of that realization. For the first time, she wasn't dependent on a job, a boss, or luck. She had discovered she could create value with her own abilities. But here's what's different about Leila's story: at every new level, the doubt came back. When she'd proven she could make $1,300, she wondered if she could make $20,000. Then $50,000. Each time, she didn't believe it until she did it. Her secret? She acts before she believes. She moves before confidence arrives. She borrowed this from a concept called "acting the opposite": if you want to be different than you are today, act like that person first. The feelings catch up later.Fast forward to today, and Leila is making investment decisions worth millions. Two years ago, she lost close to $10 million on a bad investment. The company wasn't what she thought. The money was gone. And her response? "That's the cost of making money." Because she's learned something most people never grasp: there's a direct correlation between how much you're willing to lose and how much you're willing to gain. If your mind is constantly focused on not losing, you'll never open yourself up to making more. The same decision-making principles that led to that $10 million loss also led to crushing wins in other investments. Sometimes the outcome just doesn't work out, but the process stays sound. Leila doesn't wait to feel competent before she acts. She acts until competence builds, and then confidence follows. This isn't about positive thinking or manifestation. It's about understanding that the experience creates the skill, the skill creates competence, and competence finally creates confidence. You can't think your way into believing you're capable of something. You have to do your way into it.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eric “ET” Thomas reveals the brutal truth he learned living homeless in Detroit: your greatest enemy isn't the world against you, it's you against yourself. He shares the moment he looked in the mirror and apologized to himself for the choices that led him to abandoned buildings and survival mode, and how that single act of taking ownership changed everything. This isn't about positive thinking or motivation. It's about taking back the keys to your life and refusing to give anyone else power over your future. Whether you're stuck in a good life that feels empty or drowning in circumstances you didn't choose, ET shows you how to stop blaming and start building the life you were meant to live. The path forward starts the moment you realize you are your greatest asset, and everything you need is already inside you.ET's books:The Secret to SuccessGreatness Is Upon You: Laying the FoundationGreatness Is Upon You: Abandoning Average and Seizing GreatnessGreatness Is Upon You: How Sacrifice and Humility Positioned Me for GreatnessGreatness 21 (Character Bootcamp Book 1)You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your WhyIn this episode you will:Unlock your greatest potential by investing in yourself first before chasing external assets, careers, or relationshipsDiscover why taking full ownership of your life is the only path to freedom, even when others have genuinely hurt youTransform your relationship with yourself by becoming your own first best friend before seeking validation from othersBreak through the victim mindset that keeps you powerless by recognizing you are the common denominator in every situationMaster the difference between fact-based and feeling-based decisions that will determine whether you thrive or surviveFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1871For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Shaka Senghor & Christian HowesMuniba MazariMichelle Obama Get more from Lewis!

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

Dr. Caroline Leaf reveals that depression and anxiety aren't diseases; they're messengers trying to tell you something important. For nearly four decades, she's proven through rigorous neuroscience research that your mind controls your brain, not the other way around, and that you have far more power over your mental health than you've been told. She breaks down why the chemical imbalance theory is a myth, how traumatic experiences literally change the structure of your brain, and most importantly, how you can reverse that damage through deliberate mind management. You'll learn the exact five-step neurocycle process she's used with everyone from traumatic brain injury survivors to Navy SEALs to help them reclaim control of their thoughts and emotions. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending everything's fine, it's about embracing your pain, processing it systematically, and reconceptualizing your past so it stops controlling your future.Dr. Leaf's books:Switch on Your BrainThink & Eat Yourself SmartThe Perfect YouThink Learn SucceedSwitch on Your Brain Every Day101 Ways to Be Less StressedCleaning Up Your Mental MessHow to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental MessIn this episode you will:Break through the myth that you're stuck with a broken brain by learning how to direct your own neuroplasticity in just 63 daysUnderstand the exact five step neuro cycle process that reduces anxiety and depression by 81% through deliberate mind managementDiscover why your depression and anxiety are actually helpful warning signals, not brain diseases that need to be medicated awayTransform traumatic memories from toxic patterns that control you into wisdom that serves your growth and helps othersMaster the daily practice of brain building that creates mental resilience and protects you from falling back into dark patternsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1870For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Marc BrackettDr. Joe DispenzaDr. Daniel Amen Get more from Lewis!

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

Vanessa Van Edwards shares research showing that brilliant people lose opportunities not because they lack intelligence, but because they under-signal their warmth and competence. She reveals how your body language, vocal tone, and word choice are either enrolling people in your vision or pushing them away without you realizing it. The science proves that charisma isn't about being the loudest person in the room—it's about balancing trust signals with capability signals in every interaction. You'll learn why faking confidence always leaks through danger zone cues and how authentic presence creates the chemical reactions that make people want to work with you. These aren't tricks to manipulate—they're tools to help you show up as your most genuine, powerful self so your best ideas finally get the attention they deserve.Vanessa's books:CaptivateCuesIn this episode you will:Break through the social awkwardness holding you back by labeling rejection cues before they hijack your nervous systemDiscover why hand gestures carry more weight than your actual words and how hiding your hands destroys trust instantlyMaster the perfect balance between warmth and competence that separates forgettable professionals from magnetic leadersUnderstand how your voice tone changes people's physiology within seconds and makes them question or believe everything you sayTransform your emails and presentations using achievement-oriented words that double motivation and performance in othersFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1869For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Evy PoumpourasChris VossJefferson Fisher Get more from Lewis!

Dr. James Doty achieved every material goal he set as a 12-year-old kid in poverty—the Rolex, the Porsche, the mansion overlooking the ocean—only to realize he'd built a prison of his own insecurity. Most people stumble through manifestation inefficiently because they're operating from fear, shame, and limiting beliefs that were wired into them before they were ten years old. The real power of manifestation isn't about attracting more stuff—it's about understanding the neuroscience of how your brain networks work together when you shift from sympathetic nervous system activation (fear and survival) to parasympathetic engagement (openness and creativity). When you stop chasing hedonic happiness and start living with purpose that serves others, your brain's executive control network, attention network, and salience network align to create synchronicities that feel like magic. The key is learning to manifest from love instead of fear, from service instead of selfishness, and from compassion for yourself instead of that relentless inner critic telling you you're not enough.Dr. Doty's books:Into the Magic ShopMind MagicIn this episode you will:Break through the myth that external achievements will heal internal shame and finally feel worthyMaster the difference between hedonic happiness (pleasure-seeking that leaves you empty) and eudaimonic happiness (purpose-driven fulfillment that lasts)Transform your relationship with failure by understanding how childhood baggage controls every decision and relationship you have as an adultDiscover why manifesting from fear and insecurity limits your brain's ability to create what you actually needUncover the neuroscience of why your sympathetic nervous system blocks manifestation and how to shift to parasympathetic engagementFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1868For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Jim CurtisDr. Daniel AmenRhonda Byrne Get more from Lewis!
