This is episode number 610 with three time national championship coach and New York Times best-selling author, Urban Meyer.

Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete, Turn 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.

Henry David Thoreau said it is not enough to be busy so are the ants. The question is what are we busy about?

I am pumped up for this one. You all know that I am from Ohio. I'm a big Ohio state, Buckeye fan, love the football team.

And we have a wonderful pleasure to have coach Urban Meyer on the podcast. He's someone that I've looked up to for many years and always admired his leadership, his tenacity, his competitive drive and his will to win.

And I really love connecting with him and learning about how he taps into the heart and the mind to enroll all of his players, all these young guys, to buy into his vision, his mission and really a vision of excellence and competitiveness and how to be a great leader.

And not only on the football field but outside of the football field as well and beyond many years after we are done playing football.

So I'm very excited about having him on and for those that don't know who he is, he's the head coach of the Ohio state Buckeye football team.

He was the head coach of Bowling Green University from 2001 to 2002, then Utah in 2003 in 2004 and Florida Gators from 2005 to 2010.

And when he was coaching at the University of Florida, he took the Gators to two national championship game victories.

Then in 2014 he led the Buckeye's to their first big ten conference title under his tenure as well as the program's eighth national championship title.

He is one of three coaches to win a major college football national championship at two different universities.

And he worked as a college football analyst for ESPN as well and is also the author of the book above the line, which was a powerful book that came out actually the same week as my first book, The School of Greatness, and was one of the most inspiring books that I read all year.

And then we went to the Ohio State facility. We sat right in the coaches room where they talked to all the players and they brainstorm and they strategize.

And some of the things that we covered are how to get men with big ears to buy into a new philosophy.

How do you get people who maybe have had a lot of opportunities and been the big fish in a small pond all of a sudden to buy into this new philosophy when they get to the school.

What he's seen over the years on how leaders fail also what separates a top coach from an average coach.

How to inspire kids to live at a higher standard and whether winning or losing builds more character, which one actually builds more character that and so much more in this episode.

I'm super pumped.
