Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

When I was a kid, I really didn't feel connected to too many people. I was the youngest of four.

My parents were working extremely hard in their jobs but also trying their best to parent us. I was always struggling with

friendships. I didn't really feel like I had a lot of friends growing up. I felt like

I was more picked on and kind of the kid in the back of the class who was just

struggling in school and really just got made fun of a lot and that was the memories or at least the stories I tell myself.

And I remember in middle school, high school college starting to observe people a lot and seeing how do people

makes them interested what makes them interested, what makes them laugh.

I started to observe people and really just study human dynamics, human behavior, and

And I started to experiment a lot. I started to try to build deeper relationships.

I tried to be a funny human being.

I tried to act intelligent. I tried to jump in quickly in conversation.
