Your hero is your 10 year self in the future. I'm curious if you could put yourself 10 years from now 60 because you just turn 50. What would your hero at 60 say about who you are today.

Yeah, it's a great question. And one thing we should all ask ourselves. Have I had that great sit down with our future self?

I think you'd say.

Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur and each week we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness.

Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let the class begin.

Yeah.

Gandhi once said the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. And Denzel Washington said goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.

I am so excited about this conversation today. I just had Matt McHonda Hey on and we went there. We opened up in a big way. And he is no stranger to achievement and discipline. He is one of the most well known and accomplished actors in the world today and continues to find his voice through even more mediums.

Academy award winning best actor Matt McHonda Hey shares some of the wisdom in his new book green lights and he opens up about his past. And I had such a great time talking with Matthew and I can't wait for you to hear everything he has to say in this episode we discuss the relationship between responsibility and freedom.

How to deal with negative feedback. What you want versus what you need and why they're not as different as you might think.

How Matthew broke out of the romcom box that Hollywood tried to force him into this was crazy story about how much money he turned down in order to get into the roles that he truly wanted next for himself.

Why you should think more about the comments you make online and the legacy that you leave behind. How to avoid self sabotage in times of great success.

Why we resist discomfort and so much more I'm telling you this is one of my favorite episodes we've done on the school of greatness make sure to share this with someone you think will be inspired as well.

How are you doing this good to be here but.

Man I've read your book man and it was hard I'll tell you what I'm dyslexic so it's hard for me to get into a book and finish a book but the way to tell stories is truly captivating so.

Congrats on this book so inspiring there was a point in the book where you said your first exchange student family.

Asked you to call them moment pop I think it was mom and dad.

And you said no which was I guess challenging moment where you had to kind of stand up for what you wanted but why do you feel like values are so important for you.
