Let Them. — This is an episode about how to face the things you’re scared to admit, or as in the case of my guest today, had never publicly spoken about. Today, you will meet a friend of mine who had some serious sh*t to face, and has spent the last several years addressing the things that used to drag him down. Do not miss this deeply personal conversation. It is profound. It is relevant to your life and packed with so much #wisdom. And we jump right in. @lewishowes is host of the award-winning podcast, The School of Greatness, which just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and has over 500 million downloads. His brand new book, The Greatness Mindset, teaches you how to discover your own unique gifts and talents but more importantly, how to do the work to heal. This conversation is “unguarded” and covers sensitive topics. (Particularly, perhaps, for the men in your life). So skip this if this isn’t for you today.
