Summary

It’s the first episode of our Finishing Strong series! With the pressure of New Year’s resolutions and “new year, new you” mandates creeping just ‘round the corner, we’d like to focus on finishing this year (and this decade) with a bang, by giving ourselves time for reflection and the space to better wrap our heads around the future, thus absolving us all of that annoying January 1st deadline to fix everything in our lives (feel better? You’re welcome). And to help us do just that is our guest for this episode; speaker, author, entrepreneur, and just overall mentoring force for good in the world; Lewis Howes. Lewis takes us through his life story--from a childhood filled with pain and trauma, to a career in professional football, to becoming a high performance business coach--and all the missteps and lessons along the way. Speaking with candor and vulnerability, Lewis implores us, like he did, to let everything go from our pasts and to deal with the hurts and traumas in our life, in order to embrace a beautiful future.

0:29.3	Today we are starting a brand new series that I am excited about.
0:36.1	It is called For the Love Finishing Strong, because frankly, not only are we closing in on
0:44.2	the finish line of 2019, we are closing in on the finish line of a decade.
0:49.5	It's kind of a big deal.
0:52.3	And I know that sometimes it feels like the best we can do is just sort of limp across
0:57.5	the finish line.
0:59.2	But I believe more for us.
1:02.2	I believe that we actually hold the reins to decide how we react and how we respond and
1:08.3	how we move forward and not only how we want to just get through this part of the year,
1:14.8	but how we want to thrive.
1:16.9	So in this short series, I am hosting some people who have positively learned a thing or two
1:23.2	about perseverance and show us that really no matter what time of year it is or even
1:29.5	what season you are in, how busy or tired we are, that we have so much choice in the way
1:36.6	that we are reacting.
