This is episode number 962 with Reverend Michael Beckwith.

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.

Please, I can't breathe. They're going to kill me. Everything hurts. Those were among the last

things George Floyd said before he died under the knee of the Minneapolis police.

Protests are still sweeping the country more than a week after Floyd was killed.

And I know many of you out there are feeling anger and pain. I am too.

The School of Greatness has always focused on positive growth, change, love, and healing.

And I realize that racial justice is an essential part of that. So I'm committing to that now.

Because we can't all achieve greatness and live our best lives if we aren't all truly equal.

And I understand there's a lot of work I need to do personally, both internally and externally.

And that this work will take time. I'm going to make mistakes. I'm going to say the wrong thing.

And you might also. But my intention is to help build a more kind, equal, just loving world.

And I hope that's your intention as well. And today I'm starting by having a conversation with

Reverend Michael Beckwith, the founder and spiritual director of the Agape International

Spiritual Center. He's one of LA's foremost black leaders and an old friend. And our dialogue

was extremely powerful for me. And a few things we dive into are how we can educate ourselves

and begin to make a difference. What white people like myself need to do right now.

And why this apocalyptic moment might be one to create actual change.

I hope you enjoy this episode and please share it with a friend if you find this resource helpful.
