Summary

Life should be lived passionately. So says today's guest Lewis Howes, and I couldn't agree more. If you are immersed in the online marketing world, you've probably heard of Lewis — a former professional football player & renown pioneer lifestyle entrepreneur. But in case you haven't, let me introduce you to his universe. Lewis is a former two-sport All-American (football & decathlon) and current world record holding athlete (most yards received in a single football game), has graced lists such as Details Magazine’s “5 Internet Gurus Who Can Make You Rich” and Incomediary.com’s “50 Most Influential People in Blogging.” Most recently, Lewis was ranked as one of Genjuice.com’s top “100 Most Desirable Mentors” along with the likes of Barack Obama, Russell Simmons and the Queen of Jordan. In just three years, my man went from a depressed and aimless former professional Arena-league football player who's career was cut short due to injury sleeping on his sister’s couch to running a seven figure business. He began his entrepreneurial career by hosting LinkedIn meetups around the country, and co-authoring the successful book LinkedWorking. He has hosted over 400 webinars, spoken to thousands at conferences and events, and educated career professionals and business owners around the world on the power of LinkedIn. Not enough? He's also a member of the U.S. National Team Handball squad. He loves CrossFit too. Don't worry, we get into all of it. Oh yeah, he's also the host of The School of Greatness Podcast, currently blowing up charts on iTunes. I was honored to be a guest on his show a couple weeks back and am pleased that he joined me for an enlightening and inspiring chat about discovering, unlocking, and unleashing your best, most authentic self – my favorite subject. I hope you dig the show and end up as inspired as I was sitting down with him in person. Enjoying the podcast and want to support the show?

0:08.8	Howes.
0:19.0	The Rich Roll Podcast. Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast. My name is Rich
0:26.1	Roll and this is the Rich Roll Podcast. If you're new to the show, who am I? Well, I am an ultra-distance
0:34.4	triathlete. I am the best-selling author of the book Finding Ultra, which came out last year,
0:41.7	which by the way the paperback is coming out at the end of May. So if you've been waiting and waiting
0:47.9	and waiting until the cheaper version of the book comes out, wait no further, you can pre-order it
0:52.8	on Amazon. It drops May 21st and they're taking pre-orders now to check that out. I'm also a plant-based
1:01.2	nutrition advocate. That's a long way of saying that I'm a vegan. I subsist on a whole food plant-based
1:08.4	diet to energize my body and fuel my training. I'm a public speaker, motivational speaker. I guess
1:16.2	you could call me a holistic lifestyle entrepreneur, whatever that means. I'm a recovering attorney
1:24.4	and a family guy. I've got four kids and have been married coming up on 10 years now. I started

1:37.6	that have come across along this fantastic journey that I've been on and to share with you
1:45.6	the inspiring voices who have helped me along the path. The forward thinkers in health and wellness
1:53.9	and fitness and personal lifestyle maximization. I guess you could you could call it. My guests
2:03.0	have been doctors, nutritionists, world-class athletes, entrepreneurs like our guests today,
2:10.8	trainers and a whole plethora of very interesting, like I said, forward-thinking
2:17.3	sort of paradigm-busting minds and personalities. I'm bringing them to you with the simple
2:25.3	goal of trying to empower you to achieve your best, most authentic self so that you can unleash your
2:35.0	own personal power on the world and become more fully actualized as a human being. Because when
