We all want to be great, right? Whether it’s being a great mother, a great boss, a great wife, sister or leader, it doesn’t matter — deep down, we all want to show up as the best version of ourselves and make a massive impact on the world. Of course, it’s not always easy to step into our greatness.

For starters, our Mean Girl is brilliant at holding us back and keeping us small. (Seriously, that’s her area of expertise!) Then, of course, there are all the roadblocks and obstacles that life seems to throw at us whenever we try to step things up and kick big goals. It can all add up to make it seem much easier (not to mention safer) to just stay smack-bang in our comfort zones… but you and I both know we were put on this planet for way more than that.

That’s why I’m so freaking excited to share this interview with you today.

See, I believe that in order to excel at anything in life we must learn from the best. And there’s no one I know more qualified to talk on the topic of becoming great than Lewis Howes — motivational speaker, lifestyle entrepreneur and all round epic human, who just so happens to be an expert on the topic of greatness.

With a super successful podcast The School Of Greatness, plus his New York Times best-selling book of the same title, you are bound to learn a thing or two (or twenty!) from this wise man.

(A quick note before we dive into the interview: you’ll see at the start of the video, I mention that Lewis’s book is available for pre-order, which was the case when we filmed the interview. But the excellent news is, you no longer have to wait! His book is now available right this very second and you can get your hands on it over here.)

Stop caring how you look and focus on how you’re being.

So pull out your pen and paper, close down all the tabs on your computer and open your mind and heart… because ladies and gentlemen, this is one inspiring man.

In this interview with New York Times bestselling author Lewis Howes, you will learn…
