The more you give and help others and serve other people, the more you're going to get what you want.

That's fellow podcaster and lifestyle entrepreneur Lewis Hous, and this is episode 189 of the Retro-Podcast.

The Retro-Podcast

Hey you guys, what's going on? What's happening? It is your friendly neighborhood ritual. I am the host of this podcast that you are tuning into, which I appreciate very much.

What do we do here? Well, this is the podcast where I sit down with the outliers, the big forward thinkers, people that are moving mountains who are advocating for positive paradigm-breaking culture change across all categories of health, fitness, entrepreneurship, sustainability.

Basically, a wide variety of topics and personalities. People that just inspire me, that educate me, that captivate me, whose message I want to help share.

And I do this to help all of us, myself included, of course, unlock and unleash our best most authentic cells, which I think we all owe to ourselves. Do we not?

So thanks so much for subscribing to the show. You guys have really appreciated it. I appreciate everybody who has given us a review on iTunes. If you haven't done that, take a moment to do so.

We greatly appreciate it. It helps us out a lot. And you know what? It really helps us out a lot. When you guys use the Amazon banner at at RichRoll.com for all your Amazon purchases.

There's a banner ad right there on the main podcast page. We have one for the US, one for the UK. You click on it, it takes you over to Amazon, you buy whatever you're going to buy.

And it doesn't cost you anything extra. Amazon kicks us some loose commission change. And it's really just a great free way to support the mission, to put your stamp of approval on what we're doing over here.

If you listen to the show, then you know that the other day I had Gabor Mate on the show. And I traveled all the way to Vancouver, just to interview him.

And that trip was made possible basically because of your support, because of you guys using the Amazon banner ad. And I really appreciate it. And I want to be able to continue to do that.

And the way that I can do that is by you guys helping me out by doing your Amazon shopping via the RichRoll.com podcast banner ad. So thank you so much. It really does help us out a lot.

So today on the show, it's all about my friend, Lewis Howes, fellow podcaster, host of the School of Greatness podcast, probably some overlap in our audiences, probably some people that listen to me, that also listen to his show.

And he's got a new book that came out this week titled The School of Greatness, of course. And we're going to get into all of that in a minute. But first.

All right, today's show. So Lewis Howes. Lewis is a guy I met early in my podcast career. He came on the show on episode 23. We did each other's programs. We were both pretty new to the podcasting world at the time.

I think I started maybe a couple months before him. And for more on his basic background and life story, you might want to check out that episode again. It's episode 23. We'll kind of go into his whole origin story, so to speak.

Anyway, I immediately liked the guy. He's incredibly warm and giving and grounded. He's happy. He exudes gratitude. And he's got this like little spark or glimmer in his eye. And we immediately became friends. And we stayed in touch.

And we've been a source of mutual support for each other throughout our kind of podcast careers and experience. He calls himself a lifestyle entrepreneur. I know it's kind of a weird word. I mean, what does that really mean exactly? I think people throw around these kind of titles for what they do very cavalierly.

And I would say that Lewis really is that quickly to kind of recap his background after an injury ended his career in football. He was aimless for some time. And he was seeking for inspiration while he was kind of camping out on his sister's couch in Ohio.

And he began to seek out mentors and with each mentor that came into his life who kind of provided him with some wisdom and some tools. He started applying this knowledge base that came from these people that he respected in the football coaches that he had over the years and ultimately ended up building a very successful online business working today as a business coach, a speaker, a podcast host and now an author.
