"I had this for decades, my friend. I know how this feels... if you felt like you've been giving and giving and giving, and you feel like you're getting taken advantage of. That's how I felt most of my life." - Lewis Howes

Lewis gets raw about something most successful people won't admit: he spent decades as a people-pleaser. Not just a few years, but most of his life saying YES when he wanted to say NO, overextending himself to be liked, to be loved, to feel like he mattered. He built his entire business that way at first, saying yes to everyone for years because he had nothing?no career, no money, no network. But then the pattern continued long after it stopped serving him. He kept fracturing himself psychologically, emotionally, physically by living out of alignment with who he really was. The person everyone could count on wasn't the real Lewis?it was the version weakened by the desperate need for approval.

What changed everything was understanding that self-respect has to come first, before anyone else can truly respect you. Lewis walks through exactly how to start taking your power back, even when it terrifies you. He's honest about what happens when you finally start saying NO?some people will manipulate you, guilt trip you, tell you that you've changed and you're not the friend they could count on. And he'll tell you not to buy into it. Because when you're constantly discounting yourself for others, you're living a lie. You're killing the strongest version of yourself to keep feeding the weakest. This isn't about becoming cold or selfish. It's about learning to communicate boundaries with kindness while refusing to sacrifice your energy and integrity. Lewis knows the fear in your stomach when you think about saying no to someone. He's lived it. But he also knows the monumental shift that happens when you finally own your NO and step into the power you've been giving away.

"I worry that at the hands of this godlike technology regulated by paleolithic instincts and medieval institutions, that we're evolving a new species of asocial, asexual males." - Scott Galloway

Scott Galloway walks Lewis through a crisis most people can sense but few can articulate. Sixty-three percent of men under thirty aren't even attempting to date anymore. One in seven young men are NEETs, neither working nor studying nor training for anything, just existing alone with screens. Galloway explains how we got here with uncomfortable precision. Online dating condensed human worth into brutal metrics like "six feet, six figures," which describes exactly two percent of available men. Meanwhile, every traditional venue where men could demonstrate excellence over time has evaporated. They're not going to church, not showing up to offices, not in classrooms where someone might notice they're funny, kind, outstanding at what they do. The algorithms figured out they can monetize every second they keep a young man staring at a screen instead of living in the actual world, and young men are uniquely vulnerable to this because of biology, less developed impulse control, higher susceptibility to dopamine addiction. Why face the rejection and effort of making friends when Reddit offers connection without risk? Why navigate workplace politics when you can trade crypto from your bedroom? Why pursue romance when porn is right there?

Galloway isn't offering easy solutions because there aren't any yet. He's diagnosing something that should terrify us. Forty percent of the S&P 500 by market value is now AI-related companies whose algorithms, not through malice but through optimization, have figured out how to sequester young men from their relationships and monetize that isolation. Women, celebrated for walking away at the first red flag and conditioned to demand perfection, are simultaneously dealing with a dating pool that's shrinking not because men are unworthy but because they've stopped showing up entirely. This isn't about blame. It's about understanding that trillion-dollar economic incentives are arrayed against human connection, and young men, through a combination of biological vulnerability and vanishing social infrastructure, are losing that fight. Galloway predicts you'll start visibly noticing fewer young men at malls, events, anywhere public. They're going to be alone in rooms with screens, and we're all going to live with the consequences of that.

"You're being a pseudo self to yourself. You're being the family super self to yourself." - Jerry Wise

There's something unsettling about watching a CEO who commands boardrooms admit they can't tell their parents they want to change the time for Christmas dinner. Jerry Wise has spent decades watching successful people crumble the moment they step back into their childhood homes, reverting to versions of themselves they don't recognize. The breakthrough comes when you realize that voice in your head, the one constantly criticizing and pushing and never letting up, isn't actually you at all. It's what Wise calls the "family super self," this emotional WiFi network you've been connected to since birth, transmitting their anxieties and standards and judgments straight into your nervous system. You've been living as a pseudo self, acting out patterns you never chose, defending behaviors that hurt you because somewhere along the way you confused survival mechanisms with success strategies.

What makes this conversation so powerful is how Wise dismantles the myth that self-criticism equals achievement. That president who can't stand up to mom and dad will swear up and down that being brutal with himself is what got him where he is, never stopping to wonder why he needs his family's harsh voice to stay motivated. Wise explains enmeshment not as some abstract psychology term but as the painful truth that many of us don't know where we end and our families begin. The path forward isn't cutting everyone off or pretending the past didn't happen. It's learning to hold space between yourself and them, to stay connected while finally, maybe for the first time, being yourself. Your inner child has been waiting for this, for the moment when the conflict stops and you can just exist without performing, without proving, without that relentless internal commentary that was never yours to begin with.

"Each of us is receiving a different broadcast of frequency somewhere in the environment." - Bruce Lipton

Bruce Lipton was the ultimate skeptic. A cellular biologist who lived entirely in the world of microscopes and petri dishes, he had zero interest in anything spiritual. Then one day, while studying the receptors on cell surfaces, he noticed something that stopped him cold. These receptors are antennas. They're on the outside of the cell, which means they're picking up signals from outside. If every person has a unique set of these "self receptors" and they're reading the environment, then where is the signal actually coming from? That question shattered his entire worldview. He realized we're not contained in our bodies at all. We're broadcasts being received by our cells, like a TV picking up a signal. When the TV breaks, the broadcast doesn't die. It's still there, waiting for another receiver.

This isn't mystical thinking dressed up as science. This is a scientist following the evidence to a conclusion he never expected and didn't want to believe. Bruce walks through exactly how he went from pure materialism to understanding that consciousness exists independent of the body, using nothing but cell biology and physics. He explains why letting go of the past isn't just good advice but necessary for tuning into your true signal without interference. And he breaks down why learning to love yourself isn't something you do after you heal - it's the healing itself. What makes this conversation so powerful is watching someone who built his entire identity on provable facts discover that the most profound truth of all has been hiding in plain sight in his own research.

"I'm planting these little seeds, telling you I'm in control. I'm not telling you, but I'm doing it subtly." - Evy Poumpouras

Evy Poumpouras spent years mastering the psychology of influence and control as a Secret Service agent and interrogator. In this conversation, she speaks of techniques that sound almost too simple to work, but they do. When she walks you through how to greet someone with subtle commands instead of questions, how to give someone autonomy in small ways so you can push them on bigger things later, how to plant seeds that say "I'm in charge here" without ever speaking those words directly, you realize these aren't manipulation tactics. They're protection strategies. She talks about dating after abuse with the kind of honesty that cuts through all the self-help noise. If you've been a doormat, if someone walked all over your boundaries, the instinct is to either shut down completely or come out swinging. Evy offers a third path, one where you rebuild authority without taking your trauma out on innocent people.

The conversation shifts into something even more valuable when she explains the difference between conditional and unconditional trust. Most of us hand out trust like candy because it's easier, because it means we can turn our brains off and just believe people. But that's exactly why betrayal destroys us. Evy explains that law enforcement officers assume everyone is lying because they deal with liars all day, while average people assume everyone is honest. Neither extreme works. What does work is conditional trust, where you protect yourself by trusting someone in stages, in pieces, watching how they handle small things before you give them access to bigger things. It's more work, yes. It requires staying alert, keeping that more complex part of your brain engaged. But it's the difference between building something real and getting shattered when someone you trusted completely shows you who they really are. This is practical psychology you can use today, whether you're sitting across from someone in a job interview, on a first date, or trying to figure out if someone in your life deserves more access to your heart.

"We want sex with one person in the long haul that is fun and connected and intimate and playful. And we live twice as long. Go figure." - Esther Perel

For most of human history, sex was procreation and duty. Women's pleasure didn't matter. Marriage had nothing to do with desire. Then everything changed in just 60 years. Contraception freed women from the terror of pregnancy and death. The women's movement challenged ancient power structures. Suddenly we started marrying for butterflies and attraction, expecting those feelings to sustain us for decades. But here's what nobody prepared us for: research shows women get bored with monogamy much faster than men. Not because women want less sex, but because they want less of the boring sex that shows up in long-term relationships. The romance dies. The seduction disappears. Men think foreplay is five minutes before intercourse, but Esther explains that for women, foreplay actually starts at the end of the previous orgasm. It's the tease, the pacing, the way animals circle each other without overwhelming.

This conversation strips away everything you thought you understood about desire in relationships. Esther walks through why sustaining passion with one person for 60 years is literally unprecedented in human history, and what actually kills desire in marriage. The plot disappears. The character gets stale. Couples stop seducing each other and wonder why the spark died. She reveals the essential ingredients that make eroticism possible, why women's desire needs romance and mystery to survive, and how most relationships accidentally destroy the very conditions that create turn-on. This isn't about trying harder or scheduling more date nights. It's about understanding that we're living through a grand experiment of humankind, asking for something no generation before us has successfully achieved, and most of us are doing it completely wrong.Retry

"Chasing money while neglecting your health makes you broke twice, once in your body and again in your bank account." - Lewis Howes

Lewis believes most people start their day backwards. They wake up, grab their phone, dive into chaos, and wonder why money feels so hard to create. He's found that one tiny act changes everything: making your bed before touching anything else. Not perfectly ironed sheets, just smoothing things out while saying, "I create order, and because I create order, I create wealth." It sounds almost too simple, but Lewis explains how this two-minute ritual restructures your entire nervous system. When you live in physical clutter, your mind operates in clutter too. Your thoughts stay scattered, your cortisol stays elevated, and you make decisions from survival mode instead of abundance. That first act of creating order signals something different to your brain. You start your day having already won something small, and that momentum carries into every choice that follows.

The second piece Lewis hammers home is even more confronting: your body is your wealth engine, and if you're running on empty, money won't stick to you. He talks about meeting people who are vibrant and alive versus those who are emotionally drained, and how opportunities literally seem to find the first group while passing by the second. When you're depleted, you can't maintain the consistency needed to build anything lasting. You become the person who starts things but can't finish them, who sees opportunities but lacks the energy to act. Lewis isn't preaching perfection or some intense morning routine that takes hours. He's pointing to something deeper: if you want different financial results, you have to create from a place of peace and clarity, not from overwhelm and stress. Make your bed, take care of your energy, and watch how differently the world responds to you.

"Events don't cause stress. What causes stress are the views you take of the event." - Dr. Ellen Langer

Picture this: A fire destroys 80% of everything you own. Your response? "It was already gone. What was the point in getting crazy over it?" That's Dr. Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychology professor whose work on mindfulness has shaped how we understand stress and human potential. When the insurance adjuster showed up after her house burned down, he told her it was the first time in 25 years someone's reaction was calmer than the actual damage warranted. Most people catastrophize before they even see the extent of the loss. Ellen did the opposite. She immediately saw those burnt possessions as artifacts of her past, things she might not even choose again if she were starting fresh today. Then something happened on Christmas Eve that she couldn't have predicted: the hotel staff where she was staying, from the parking attendants to the chambermaids, filled her room with gifts. Not management. Not the owner. The people you barely notice. For years, she couldn't tell that story without crying.

What makes this conversation so powerful is watching someone live their philosophy in real time. Ellen doesn't just theorize about stress, she's walked through actual loss and come out believing that worrying is simply a waste of time. She breaks down why predictability is an illusion we cling to, why most of what we worry about never happens, and how stress relies on two false assumptions: that we know what will happen, and that when it does, it will be awful. The conversation moves from handling global crises to personal disasters, from the things that keep us up at night to the moments that restore our faith in humanity. You'll hear about the class she taught without any of her notes after they burned in the fire, how it became the best class she ever taught because everything had to be thought through fresh in that moment. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending bad things don't happen. This is about what becomes possible when you stop trying to control outcomes you can't predict anyway.Retry

"Addiction is never a choice and it's not some kind of genetic disease, which that is total nonsense. What it actually is, is an attempt to solve a problem in your life." - Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté doesn't sugarcoat it. When he asks what addiction gave you, he's not interested in shame or judgment. He wants you to see the truth: you were trying to escape something. Lewis admits he felt trapped throughout his entire childhood, and Gabor names it immediately. That's what addiction is for. It's for people who feel imprisoned, who need an escape from pain they didn't ask for. Gabor shares his own struggle with workaholism, driven by a desperate need to prove he had the right to exist, that he was worthy of love. These aren't moral failures. They're survival responses to trauma that got embedded in childhood, and they've been following you ever since.

Here's what changes everything: addiction isn't about what's wrong with you. It's about what happened to you, and what you've been trying to solve ever since. Gabor walks through why virtually everyone in a room would raise their hand if asked whether they have an addiction by his definition, because most of us are trying to escape something we couldn't control. He's clear that while rare spiritual moments in nature can sometimes spark healing, most of us need self-awareness, support, connection, and guidance. This conversation strips away the myths about addiction being a disease or a choice, and reveals the trapped child underneath who's still trying to break free. If you've been waiting for that miraculous moment to heal, Gabor's message is direct: don't wait. Get the help, because you have a much better chance that way.

"My father would leave at four o'clock in the morning. He wouldn't get back till seven o'clock at night. He just worked so, so hard. That's all I saw growing up." - Rhonda Byrne

Rhonda Byrne watched her father leave at four in the morning and return at seven at night, day after grinding day. That image of relentless work and exhaustion became her subconscious blueprint for money: it requires struggle, it demands sacrifice, it costs you your life. When she stumbled upon the early 1900s new thought movement, reading Genevieve Barand and others who understood the power of the mind, everything cracked open. She saw that her deepest money beliefs weren't truths carved in stone, they were patterns inherited from pain. And patterns can be broken.

The practices Rhonda shares aren't abstract theory. They're the 21 specific tools she used to override decades of inherited lack beliefs, and they're surprisingly simple. Small mental pivots like changing "I can't afford that" to "I can't wait until I can buy that." Techniques that slip naturally into your daily routine without adding pressure or forcing you to buy things you can't afford. She's showing you how to win the real battle, the one happening in your subconscious mind, where your deepest money beliefs actually live. This is the internal work that changes everything, and she makes it accessible.

"When money got outta the way and I had no excuse of what I was running away from anymore." - Dean Graziosi

Dean Graziosi was 12 years old when his body started eating itself from the inside out. A bleeding ulcer. That's what happens when a kid lives in constant fear of what his father might do next. His dad, the youngest of 12 who never healed from his own abuse, fought everyone. His sister stopped speaking to him 20 years ago. Ex-wives won't return calls. When his parents died, they weren't talking. Dean watched this man burn every bridge, move the family constantly through failed relationships and money problems, and he made himself a promise: get successful enough to never need anyone, never be stuck, never be that powerless kid again. So he ran. He built businesses, made millions, kept moving. And it worked, until it didn't.

The moment Dean had enough money to breathe, really breathe without worry, something terrifying happened. He looked in the mirror and saw that same scared kid staring back. All the crap he never dealt with was still there, waiting. Money didn't heal the wounds. It just removed his excuse for ignoring them. He went through a divorce. He chose to forgive the father who broke him. He had to rescue that little boy still hiding inside a grown man's success. What he shares here isn't about making money. It's about what you do when you finally have enough freedom to stop running and start facing yourself. It's about finding the kind of leverage that doesn't come from fear but from knowing who you need to become. Most people quit after a few failures because they're chasing money for the wrong reasons. Dean kept going because he had to prove he wasn't his father. That leverage saved him, even when it led him straight into the pain he spent decades avoiding.

"It's such a simple idea, getting to what do I actually like? No second guessing." - Rick Rubin

Rick Rubin asked Lewis a question that sounds simple but cuts through everything: If I gave you two different foods to taste, could you tell me which one you like? Of course you could. And no one could convince you that the one that tastes bad to you actually tastes good. That's the whole secret to creative work, he says. Trust what resonates with you the same way you trust your taste buds. It sounds almost obvious until you think about how much of your creative life you've spent second-guessing yourself, trying to like what you're supposed to like, making what you think will succeed instead of what genuinely moves you. Rick has spent 40 years producing music's biggest artists, and this simple principle is what he keeps coming back to.

The conversation goes somewhere unexpected when Lewis asks about struggling artists who can't make money doing what they love. Rick doesn't preach belief or hustle. He says divide them. Get a job that supports you so your art can be free. He talks about his cousin who became a dentist, practiced for 15 or 20 years, and finally had to admit it was the wrong choice from the beginning. How many people are living that exact life right now, stuck in a program they chose when they were young? But what really strikes you is how Rick talks about being in the studio after all these decades. He still gets that feeling when something's not happening, and then suddenly it is, and he doesn't know what changed. He's still surprised all the time. Still leaning forward with curiosity. That's not someone going through the motions. That's someone who protected the magic by keeping things simple.

"You get to Harvard, the rich kids still don't wanna be friends with you. Why not? Because you can't afford to split the table at the club on Friday night." - Vivian Tu

Vivian Tu pulls back the curtain on something most people never talk about: why hard work and even elite credentials aren't enough to build real wealth. She walks through the brutal reality of class barriers with stories from Wall Street, where they literally have different names for people who are technically good at their jobs versus those who were born knowing which fork to use. The Harvard example hits hard because it exposes how even at the peak of merit-based achievement, you can still be locked out of the rooms where wealth actually happens. Not because you're not smart enough or didn't work hard enough, but because you can't afford to split a dinner bill at the club. She talks about proximity to wealth as learning a completely different language, one that teaches you not just who to know but how deals get discussed, how real wealth presents itself, and the tiny cultural signals that separate people who grew up with money from those performing wealth.

What makes this conversation valuable is how practical Vivian gets about navigating these realities. She explains how her own wealthy friends opened doors to opportunities she never could have accessed otherwise, from US Open tickets on a bank's dime to connecting with the right business managers and accountants. But more than that, she teaches you how to spot the difference between real wealth and fake rich, breaking down the fundamental truth that people with actual money aren't trying to impress you. This isn't about becoming bitter or cynical about class barriers. It's about understanding the game well enough to play it smarter, recognizing that the path to wealth exists for anyone but looks completely different depending on where you start and who you learn from along the way.

"We thought we were doing the right thing by just kind of swapping out the goodies that he loved... we would just buy like sugar free donuts." - Jessica Knurick

Jessica Knurick watched her grandfather face serious health problems in his early sixties. He worked retail, then came home to refurbish cars for extra money. No time to cook proper meals. When the health issues hit, her family scrambled to help. They bought sugar-free donuts, thinking they'd cracked the code. They hadn't. What the system failed to provide wasn't willpower advice. It was real education, combined with understanding the brutal math of time poverty. Working two jobs to survive doesn't leave room for meal prep and nutrition research. That experience sent Jessica into nutrition science, where she discovered something that could have helped him: most of what we're told about healthy eating is backwards.

Here's what actually matters. The seed oil panic dominating your social media feed? Not supported by science. Jessica doesn't just say there's no evidence they're harmful. She says there's evidence they're NOT harmful. The reason people feel better after "eliminating seed oils" has nothing to do with the oils themselves. When you stop eating seed oils, you stop eating the chips, crackers, and processed junk they come in. You accidentally start eating more whole foods. The oil was never the villain. The bigger picture: seventy percent of our food environment is ultra-processed garbage. Her grandfather needed systemic change, not sugar-free substitutes. This conversation will reshape how you think about nutrition advice, especially the viral kind that sounds urgent but misses the point entirely.

"My father would wake up in the morning, study the Bible, say a prayer, rub his knees and look up to God like, 'how am I going to feed these 10 people today?' Then he'd go. And he'd come back with dinner." - Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans grew up watching his father combine faith with relentless action. Every single morning started the same way: Bible study, prayer, then that moment of looking up at God before figuring out how to feed 10 kids that day. His mother taught him something equally powerful but different: how to find joy in poverty, how to stay vulnerable when disappointments could easily make you bitter, how to love hard even when life is brutal. These weren't abstract lessons. They were daily survival skills that shaped everything about how Marlon approaches his work now. When Hollywood tells him to wait, when networks say they're booked until 2026, he hears his father's voice: don't wait for anyone to tell you you're ready.

That mindset led him to self-fund his own comedy specials, film them on his terms, then license them to HBO and Amazon while keeping ownership. He's the guy who works three extra hours with his acting coach after a 14-hour shooting day because he refuses to show up unprepared. He drops a new hour of standup material every year, writing it live on stage while audiences think they're just watching a show. Most people fixate on what their parents did wrong. Marlon studied what they did right. That shift, that choice to extract wisdom instead of resentment from his upbringing, unlocked something fierce in him. His father taught him God and grit belong together. His mother taught him that joy is a choice you make, not a circumstance you wait for. Now he lives by a simple truth: everything is God, every closed door is redirection, and a thousand new doors are already open if you stop staring at the one that shut.

"Everybody has the Elon Musks capacity in them, right? But we are just wasting our brain energy on the wrong things." - Jenna Zoe

Your mind keeps telling you to figure it all out, to copy what worked for someone else, to ignore what genuinely lights you up because it seems too simple. Jenna Zoe says that's exactly the problem. She breaks down Human Design, a system that treats your body like a machine with its own operating manual, and explains why the universe speaks to you through what brings you joy, not through your overthinking mind. When you see someone else's success and try to replicate their exact path, you're working against your unique design. Different people have different energy types?generators, manifestors, projectors, reflectors?and each has a specific way of using energy that creates maximum results with minimum resistance.

The revelation here isn't complicated personal development theory. It's understanding that everyone carries the same genius capacity, but most people waste their brain power trying to control outcomes instead of letting their body's wisdom guide the way. When you stop letting guilt override what genuinely excites you, when you trust that your enjoyment is divine guidance rather than distraction, your mind becomes free to do what it does best: observe, create, innovate. Jenna walks through the mechanics of how your body directs you toward your purpose, and why fighting against your natural design keeps you stuck while others seem to effortlessly manifest their dreams.

"How many kids in our country are getting the emotional education they need to achieve their dreams in life?" - Dr. Marc Brackett

Dr. Marc Brackett was eleven years old when he finally told someone about the sexual abuse. His mother had a breakdown. His father grabbed a bat and went to kill the man. Then came the arrest, the court case, and the decision that would make everything worse: going on television to talk about it. Overnight, he became the kid nobody wanted their children near. Teachers whispered. Parents pulled their kids away. The bullying intensified. He was labeled damaged goods, living proof that some wounds mark you forever. But one summer, his Uncle Marvin asked him a question nobody else had bothered with: "How are you feeling?" They sat together working through emotional vocabulary, and Marc realized he couldn't name a single time he'd felt elated, but he could talk all day about feeling alienated. That conversation became the foundation for everything that followed.

Years later, Marc saw "Emotional Intelligence" on the cover of Time Magazine and recognized his uncle's work from twenty years earlier. He pulled Uncle Marvin out of retirement, and they met at a Dunkin Donuts in Fort Lauderdale to build a curriculum that would eventually change how schools teach kids about emotions. Marc earned his PhD studying with the scientists who pioneered emotional intelligence research, got a fifth degree black belt in Hapkido, practiced Zen meditation, and spent three decades researching what it actually takes to heal. Now a professor at Yale (the same school that once rejected him), he's honest about what it required: an uncle who cared enough to ask, thirty years of dedicated study, martial arts discipline, and relentless inner work. Lewis and Marc dig into why accomplishing every goal on your list means nothing if you still don't feel enough, and how emotional education is the missing piece most people never get access to.

"Motivation is a feeling, but discipline is a choice. We are what we repeatedly do." - Lewis Howes

Lewis reveals the brutal inner voice that haunted him for years?the one that called him an idiot after every mistake, that told him he wasn't good enough, that kept him stuck in cycles of self-destruction. He shares how he spent two decades struggling to learn Spanish, constantly telling himself "I can't do this" until he discovered a simple phrase that changed everything: "I'm learning to." It sounds almost too simple, but that shift from self-criticism to self-compassion became the foundation for everything else. He talks about his basketball days, diving after loose balls, and how coaches kept him on the court not because he was the most talented, but because he hustled in the moments that mattered. That same mentality carried into his entrepreneurial journey?until it nearly destroyed him.

When Lewis finally started making money after being broke on his sister's couch, he went all-in on the hustle-culture mentality. He worked 24/7, gained weight, ate garbage, stopped sleeping, and burned himself completely out. Thirteen years and almost 2,000 podcast episodes later, he's learned the truth: real hustle isn't about grinding yourself into the ground?it's about showing up consistently when no one's watching. He breaks down why discipline beats motivation every time, how to pick one non-negotiable habit that aligns with your actual vision (not someone else's), and the morning question that helps him face his fears instead of running from them. If you've been trapped between beating yourself up for not being perfect and burning out trying to prove you're enough, this is the reset you need.

"As a child, I don't have to absorb the stress of my parents. I don't have to take care of the needs of my alcoholic father." - Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté sat across from Lewis and said something most parenting experts won't admit: he hurt his own children. Not through malice or neglect, but through something more insidious?unhealed wounds he didn't even know he carried. He reveals how your stress as a partner affects your child before they're even born, how children absorb their parents' unresolved pain like emotional sponges, and why so many well-intentioned parents end up repeating the very patterns they swore they'd never inflict. But here's what makes this conversation essential: Maté doesn't just diagnose the problem. He breaks down the four irreducible needs every child must have?needs that indigenous societies naturally provided for millennia, but that our modern world systematically denies.

This isn't about perfect parenting or having all the answers before your kid arrives. It's about understanding that the work of raising healthy children starts with facing your own shadows first. Maté explains why free play matters more for brain development than any educational program, why children need to rest from the burden of managing adult emotions, and what happens when we give toddlers screens instead of space to be bored, curious, and wildly creative. Whether you're expecting your first child, struggling with teenagers, or trying to make sense of your own upbringing, this conversation illuminates why so many of us feel broken?and what it actually takes to stop that cycle.

"Right where the pain is, is the portal of entry." - Dr. Lisa Miller

Dr. Lisa Miller knows what it feels like to have your heart completely shattered. At 19, sitting with a pain so heavy in her chest she could barely breathe, she asked the most dangerous question someone in despair can ask: Is love even real? And if love isn't real, is God? That brutal honesty?that willingness to sit in the wreckage of a broken heart and question everything?became the doorway to understanding something revolutionary about human suffering. Through decades of research in neuroscience and psychology, she discovered what her own pain had been trying to tell her: depression isn't always the enemy we think it is. For over two-thirds of young adults, that crushing weight isn't a chemical malfunction to be medicated away?it's a spiritual alarm clock, banging on the door of your soul, demanding you wake up to a deeper way of living.

This conversation will shift how you see your own struggles. Lisa reveals why that restlessness you feel?the sense that your relationship, your career, your entire life just doesn't fit anymore?might not mean you need to blow everything up and start over. Sometimes the answer isn't out there in a bigger job or different partner. It's an invitation to go inward, to discover the spiritual dimension of yourself that's been hungry for something more meaningful all along. She walks through the three unavoidable bridges we all cross (early adulthood, midlife, and our elder years) where these questions become impossible to ignore, and shares exactly how to recognize when your pain is actually propelling you toward awakening rather than destruction.

"Identity is the strongest force in the human personality. If you constantly live in fear, your world gets smaller and smaller." - Tony Robbins

Tony Robbins breaks down why so many of us stay stuck even when we desperately want to change. He uses this brilliant metaphor: imagine your identity is like a thermostat set to 68 degrees. You might dream about hitting 98, or panic when you drop to 60, but either way, you'll sabotage yourself back to what feels familiar. It's not about willpower or motivation?it's about who you believe you are at your core. Tony shares why he still does the fire walk after all these years, and it's not some motivational gimmick. It's about giving people a visceral experience that rewires their brain in real-time. When you walk across burning coals and make it to the other side, something shifts: "If I could do that, what else could I get myself to do?" That question changes everything.

What makes this conversation so powerful is how Tony dismantles the difference between beliefs and experiences. You can read every self-help book on the planet, but until you actually do something that scares you, until you break through that invisible ceiling you've built around yourself, nothing truly changes. He talks about overprotected kids who never broke a bone being more fearful than the ones who got hurt and healed?there's no substitute for lived experience. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending fear doesn't exist. It's about understanding that your current identity, the labels you've given yourself based on your past, might be the only thing standing between you and the life you actually want. Tony shows you how to expand that identity so the breakthrough becomes inevitable.

"Bending over backwards in a relationship is not love." ? Baya Voce

When Baya Voce talks about boundaries, she isn?t speaking from theory, she?s lived through the emotional chaos that comes when you mistake self-sacrifice for connection. In this intimate exchange, Baya and Lewis dive into the quiet courage it takes to say no without guilt and to believe that you?ll still be okay when you do. She reminds us that real love isn?t earned through contortion or compromise, it?s built on alignment, truth, and the safety of being fully seen.

What begins as a conversation about romantic boundaries unfolds into something deeper ? a reflection on friendship, self-worth, and emotional honesty. Baya shares how lifelong friendships anchor her when everything else shifts, and Lewis opens up about his own recent journey of redefining what healthy relationships look like. Together, they explore the idea that outgrowing people doesn?t mean failure, it means you?re finally growing into yourself.

?I had to learn that success doesn?t heal you?self-worth does.? ? Rupi Kaur

When Rupi Kaur first became a literary phenomenon, it looked like the dream. Her poetry collections Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers topped bestseller lists for years. She was performing to sold-out arenas, praised by critics and fans alike. But behind the applause, Rupi was struggling with something quieter and harder to measure?the belief that she was worthy of being seen and heard. The pain of her early life, the silence forced on her, still echoed even in her loudest moments of success.

In this conversation with, Rupi opens up about how fame didn?t build her confidence?it nearly buried it. She reveals the emotional cost of staying grounded when the world wants to lift you up for the wrong reasons, and how learning to pause, connect, and truly value herself became the real victory. This isn?t a story about a poet?s success; it?s about the courage to reclaim your self-worth when every external sign says you?ve already ?made it.?

"You don?t have a soul. You are the soul, partially incarnated." ? Gary Zukav

Gary Zukav shares one of the most beautiful metaphors ever spoken on The School of Greatness. He describes the soul as a mothership, vast and alive, with small boats sailing around it. Each of those little boats is one of our personalities. When your personal ship moves in the same direction as the mothership, when your choices match your soul?s true purpose, the wind carries you and the sea feels calm. But when you sail against that current, everything becomes a struggle.

He explains that we?re not guided by a soul, but expressions of it, like a cup of water taken from the ocean that is still, in essence, the ocean. This revelation first came to him during his first interview with Oprah and continues to shape how he understands love, purpose, and choice. It?s a conversation that helps you imagine your life as a voyage where inner alignment decides the strength of your wind and the peace in your journey.

"You?ve got to change your paradigm ? because your paradigm is what?s running your life." ? Bob Proctor

Bob Proctor had a way of making you see the invisible threads that run your life. In this rare, deeply human conversation, he sits down with Lewis to reveal how much of what we call ?personality,? ?luck,? or ?potential? is really just conditioning?passed down through generations, reinforced by our environment, and quietly dictating what we believe we can or can?t do. He explains why brilliant people often stay stuck, why talent isn?t enough, and how a single shift in awareness can unlock what?s been holding you back for decades.

When Bob talks about paradigms, he?s not speaking in abstraction, he?s describing the invisible code that shapes families, careers, and even entire cultures. From his stories of athletes who quit too soon to his astonishing work transforming companies by changing their internal ?programming,? Bob reveals that the real battle for success isn?t out THERE, it?s in the mind. This episode is a masterclass in reprogramming your life for greatness by rewriting the beliefs you didn?t even know were yours.

"Disillusionment is the process of moving from hope that things will be different to acceptance that things are the way they are." - Baya Voce

Baya Voce knows the exact moment when hope becomes a prison. She's spent years guiding couples through what might be the hardest truth in any relationship: sometimes the person you love isn't going to change, no matter how many therapy sessions you attend or heartfelt conversations you have. And that realization, that moment of disillusionment, feels like the end. But here's what most people miss: it's actually the beginning of something real. Baya walks through the painful but necessary process of grieving the relationship you thought you'd have so you can finally see the one you're actually in. She talks about how the healthiest long-term relationships die and are reborn over and over, each version requiring you to let go of what came before.

What makes this conversation so powerful is how Baya dismantles the toxic cycle of the "power struggle". That exhausting pattern where you keep trying to change your partner, hoping this time will be different. Lewis opens up about his own experience, sharing how his relationship with Martha has already transformed multiple times, especially now with twins on the way. You'll learn why accepting your relationship "as is" doesn't mean settling, it means finally getting clear on whether you can actually build a life here or if it's time to walk away. This isn't about fixing your relationship. It's about getting brutally honest about what's really there.

"The waking brain and the sleeping brain are doing a 24-hour cycle for as long as the run you have on this planet." - Dr. Rahul Jandial

Dr. Rahul Jandial, a neurosurgeon who operates on human brains, reveals something most of us have never considered: we spend a third of our lives in a completely different state of consciousness, and what happens there shapes everything about who we are when we're awake. He takes us on a fascinating journey from the rotation of the Earth to the deepest mechanisms inside our skulls, explaining why your brain will literally force you to sleep?even if you're starving, even if you're in danger. There's a pressure building inside you right now, an ancient rhythm that's been governing all life on this planet since the beginning. Dr. Jandial explains that understanding your dreaming brain isn't just about interpreting weird nighttime stories?it's about understanding why you overreact at the grocery store, why you feel stressed, why you are the way you are.

This conversation strips away all the mystical nonsense around dreams and gets to the raw science of what's actually happening in your skull every night. Dr. Jandial connects the dots between the material in your brain (which is made of the same stuff as everything else on Earth) and the profound experiences you have while unconscious. If you've ever wondered why we can't just stay awake forever, or what your brain is actually doing during those hours you're checked out, this episode gives you the playbook. It's not about dream interpretation books or symbolism?it's about understanding the fundamental cycle that governs your entire existence and learning how to work with it instead of against it.

"When you begin to realize you're bringing everything towards you, you're collapsing realities into existence versus chasing things, it becomes so much easier." - Billy Carson

Billy Carson doesn't talk about manifestation like some airy theory?he breaks it down like the engineer he is. Everything around you, from the table you're sitting at to the watch on your wrist, started as a multidimensional thought in someone's mind before it became real. That's not metaphor?that's the actual process of creation happening every single day, and most of us are sleepwalking through it. Billy's spent years studying ancient wisdom and quantum mechanics, and what he's discovered is this: you're either attracting your reality or exhausting yourself chasing after it. The difference between those two approaches? One creates obstacles and distractions at every turn, while the other clears a path by doing the inner work first. When you shift from pursuit to attraction, everything from your shadow work to your daily affirmations becomes part of collapsing the reality you want into existence.

Here's what makes this conversation essential: Billy lays out the exact steps to make this shift, and it's not about sitting around visualizing. It's about follow-through, gratitude for every micro-step forward, and understanding that even setbacks are growth when you're consistently taking action. He explains why so many people give up right before the breakthrough?they stop their affirmations, lose faith in the process, forget to be grateful for how far they've already come. Lewis adds a crucial piece too: when you're moving toward something real, you might have to break patterns, disconnect from certain people, even lose money or opportunities at first. That feels like failure, but it's actually the clearing that needs to happen. This isn't about getting rich quick or manifesting a parking spot?it's about fundamentally understanding that you're creating your reality whether you realize it or not, so you might as well do it consciously.

"The only thing you should be proving is yourself right about improving yourself and creating alignment in your life." - Lewis Howes

Lewis Howes spent years chasing?chasing approval, chasing validation, chasing proof that he was enough. Picked last in games, mocked for struggling to read, criticized and underestimated at every turn, he carried those wounds into adulthood like armor. He stayed in relationships that weren't right for him just to prove he wasn't a failure. He worked relentlessly to prove wrong every kid who bullied him, every coach who doubted him, every teacher who wrote him off. But all that proving? It was exhausting. It was a performance that never ended because the applause he was seeking had to come from within. The breakthrough came when he realized that real magnetism?the kind that draws genuine love and connection into your life?doesn't come from proving your worth. It comes from owning it.

In this raw solo episode, Lewis shares the pivotal shift that changed everything: the moment he stopped performing and started aligning. He opens up about how his relationship with Martha Beck taught him that trust isn't built through grand gestures or perfect words?it's built when your actions consistently match what you say. You'll discover why the most attractive people aren't the ones trying hardest to impress, but the ones who show up as healthy, grounded human beings genuinely interested in others. This isn't about becoming more interesting or talented or successful to earn love?it's about releasing the exhausting need to prove anything at all and simply owning who you already are.
