Summary
At the age of just 24, Lewis Howes found his pro football career abruptly ended by injury. He collapsed into a depression, paralyzed by fear and overwhelmed by the prospect of rebooting literally his entire life (with no money, no degree, and nothing to fall back on). But unwilling to accept defeat, he broke the massive challenge of reinventing himself into a series of smaller, manageable goals that he took on way by one. It started with simply getting his butt off the couch, and ended with where he is today— one of the leading voices in the new generation of lifestyle entrepreneurs, bestselling author and host of the wildly popular School Of Greatness podcast.
Join Lewis for an inspiring and motivating conversation about how to push yourself out of a funk, dream big, and use the power of goal setting to achieve things you once thought impossible.
In our talk we discuss:
* dealing with adversity using it propel you
* giving yourself challenge and a deadline achieve your goals
* Creating structure around your day to boost creativity
... and much much more.
Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, how's it going? I am Chase Jarvis, your friend, your compadre in life, |
| 0:10.2 | and on this podcast at least. I want to welcome you to another episode of the Chase Jarvis |
| 0:14.1 | live show here on Creative Live. This is where I sit down with the world's top creative |
| 0:18.9 | entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and all that good stuff. |
| 0:21.7 | And I do my very best to unpack actionable and valuable insights with the goal of helping you live your dreams in career, in hobby, and in life. |
| 0:31.8 | My guest today is Lewis Howes. |
| 0:36.2 | Lewis's story rocks. |
| 0:39.0 | I love Lewis's story as much as I love life itself. |
| 0:43.5 | That might be a stretch, but I really, I think Lewis epitomizes so many of us, and here is why. |
| 0:51.1 | He had a career down one path where he found extreme success. He was, |
| 0:59.0 | I think he had the world record for the most yards receiving in a pro football game. He was an |
| 1:03.7 | arena football player, played pro football, and then got injured. So he went from like a high of 11 |
| 1:10.5 | down to zero basically |
| 1:13.2 | and had to reinvent himself off of his, what is, his sister's couch? |
| 1:19.7 | He was so broke, so sort of lost that he was living on his sister's couch for months and months and months, |
| 1:28.2 | injured, depressed. |
| 1:29.9 | He talks about being really, really unhealthy. |
| 1:33.4 | And why I think this relates to the every man and woman is because whether or not you are a pro football player |
| 1:39.8 | and whether or not you slept on your sister's couch, we've all had to, we've all gone through stuff. |
| 1:45.1 | We've all had to reinvent some aspect of our life. And Lewis's story is really appropriate. And |
| 1:53.5 | the way he gets out of that jam is worth its weight in gold. And it's simple and anyone can do it. |
| 2:00.8 | We talked a lot about that in this podcast. |
