This is episode number 21 with the James Outtucher Takeover.

Welcome to the School of Greatness.

My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur.

In 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.

What is up great, thanks so much for checking this out today.

I finally got my voice back. It was pretty much gone the whole week and it's still a little raspy so hopefully it don't mind too much.

But it's good to have it back and being able to communicate with full energy and power with all of you guys.

I hope you enjoyed James Outtucher. I love that episode, the guys super funny and very wise in these years.

I've had a lot of ups and downs but I finally bring it all together.

If you haven't checked it out yet, if you're new to this podcast, make sure to go check that out right now because it's pretty cool.

However, after the interview, James said, hey, I want to take over your show and I want to interview you.

So James and I ended up doing an extra 30 or 40 minutes where he interviewed me and kind of broke down a lot of stuff that I haven't really talked about.

With the early hustle and the early work that I did a few years back in the beginning of my kind of business career.

And it was interesting to kind of share and to have James ask the topic questions that he did ask.

So this one is all about James taking over the School of Greatness, interviewing me and me kind of opening up more about the hustle and the greatness that I believe.

So hopefully you guys enjoy this one. I'm going to get into a quote of the day because I want to keep up with the quote of the show.

And this one is by my good friend Jonathan Fields who's actually in his book.

And the quote is cultivation of a growth mindset starts with an understanding that greatness is largely about work.

So keep that in mind as you're listening to some of the stories that both James and I are sharing today.

But a lot of what I've accomplished has been because I've worked my freaking butt off for a long time.

And I met the right people at the right time as well.
