TMHS 128: The School Of Greatness - With Lewis Howes


Listen Later

How do you define greatness?

Is it the achievements you rack up? Is it the obstacles you overcome? Is it the amount of lives you impact? Is it the accolades and recognition your receive? Or is it something totally different?

My guest today knows a thing or two about greatness. He’s interviewed hundreds of the most successful people on the planet in their respective fields. He’s been able to metabolize those teachings, add pieces of it to his life, and to share some of the most incredible insights with the rest of the world.

One thing I know he’d tell you is that greatness isn’t just about the things you achieve, it’s about who you become in the process.

My guest is Lewis Howes, the creator of The School of Greatness. He’s taken this top rated podcast and turned it into a cultural phenomenon, including a bestselling book with the same name.

Lewis is here today to share his inspiring story and to teach you what it takes to live a life of greatness. This could mean that you do some of the most grandiose things imaginable, but it truly means that you start living life on your terms.

Whether it’s your health, relationships, career, or anything else. Find out how to start living a life of greatness starting now!
