Summary

Today, Lewis sits down with the legendary Jon Bon Jovi to peel back the curtains on what truly separates success from greatness. Jon opens up about the precise moment he felt he touched greatness with his music and how he kept his eyes on the horizon in his twenties, always believing his best work was yet to come. He shares the personal tactics that helped keep his band united through the storms of fame, including the pivotal role of therapy in enhancing communication. Jon also gets personal about the challenges of running his own management company, sustaining a loving marriage amid the rockstar lifestyle, and the importance of relational and emotional intelligence in his success. Beyond his professional life, Jon reflects on the evolution of his voice, the lessons learned from fatherhood, and offers a lyric that deeply resonates with his current chapter in life.
