In this week’s episode I’m joined by Mindset and Leadership Coach Lewis Huckstep.

As a young boy Lewis was diagnosed with asperges and struggled with anxiety, resulting in him feeling uncomfortable in his own skin. In an attempt to seek approval from his dad, he chased the dream of becoming a professional athlete and was contracted to a pro club by the time he was 15 years old. By age 18, he knew his calling was in business and so he turned his attention to entrepreneurship.

Lewis achieved great success at a young age, but found he wasn’t fulfilled or happy as the work he was doing wasn’t in alignment with the person he wanted to be.

Today, Lewis finds joy in helping business owners scale their businesses and build fulfilling intimate relationships. He’s on a mission to heal and improve the consciousness of humanity and he joined me on the show to share his story.
