    Figuring It Out in Real Time

    This week, I'm checking in. Life is shifting—between building something from the ground up, figuring out what stability looks like, and trying to stay present through it all. This episode is a real-time snapshot of where I'm at mentally, creatively, and as a father. I talk through what I've been working on, what's been weighing on me, and what's been pushing me forward. Some of it is progress, some of it is uncertainty—but all of it is honest. This is one of those moments I want you to hear back one day and understand who I was becoming.

    Introducing How to Protect Your Brain and Live Longer | Dr. Andrew Weil from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Dr. Andrew Weil drops a counterintuitive truth right out of the gate: avoiding head trauma and quitting smoking are the two most powerful things you can do to prevent cognitive decline, yet almost no one talks about them in the brain health conversation. Most of us are chasing the latest supplement or biohack while ignoring the chronic stress quietly flooding our brains with cortisol and damaging the very region responsible for memory and emotion. Dr. Weil connects the dots between what you eat, how you breathe, who you spend time with, and how long your brain stays sharp. His 4-7-8 breathing technique alone has generated millions of views worldwide and outperforms anxiety medication in his clinical experience. More than any single protocol, though, he returns again and again to one root cause behind poor relationships, chronic illness, and unfulfilled potential: not yet learning how to genuinely love yourself. Dr. Weil’s books: Mind Over Meds Fast Food, Good Food True Food Spontaneous Happiness Why Our Health Matters Healthy Aging The Healthy Kitchen Eating Well for Optimum Health Eight Weeks to Optimum Health Spontaneous Healing Natural Health, Natural Medicine From Chocolate To Morphine Health and Healing In this episode you will: Discover the two most overlooked factors driving cognitive decline and what to cut from your life immediately to protect your brain Learn the free, 60-second breathing technique Dr. Weil calls the most powerful anti-anxiety method he has ever found Understand how your gut microbiome connects to your brain health and which fermented foods rebuild it most effectively Identify the foods and environmental toxins doing the most damage to your long-term cognitive function Explore why loving yourself is not a soft idea but the actual foundation of healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting well-being For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1913 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Dr. William Li Dr. Jeremy London Dr. Will Bulsiewicz Get more from Lewis!  Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

    Where I'm Standing Right Now

    This episode is an audio log. I'm recording this with my daughter, Honey Rose, sitting right next to me — about eight months old at the time. This Is For You is a long-form journal meant to live into the future. It's a place where I talk honestly about where I'm standing in life, what I'm learning, and what I want you to know when you're old enough to listen back. There's no agenda here. Just context. This is where I was. This is how I sounded. This is what mattered to me.

    Free Chips, Bad Sports Karma, and Growing Up

    In this week's letter, Rodescu Hopkins II talks to his daughter about Cleveland heartbreaks, growing older, and finding peace in the chaos. From obsessing over the Cubs' 2016 win to nearly fighting Bulls fans when Obama was in the crowd, Rodescu laughs at his old sports rage — and how fatherhood changed his perspective. He also takes a stand on the world's true injustices (why luxury apartments don't include free chips), and opens up about the Duolingo bird guilt-tripping him into learning Portuguese. Funny, honest, and unexpectedly heartfelt — this episode is about growing up, letting go, and keeping your sense of humor intact. 🎧 Follow for new weekly letters: Instagram: @rodescuhopkinii | @rh2studios

    Mexican Independence, Mac Miller, and Peeing at the Lake

    In the very first episode of This Is For You, I sit down to share a letter to my daughter, Honey Rose. This week was full of lessons, laughs, and little chaos: from learning the only time "HR" is actually cool, to confusing Mexican Independence Day, to the all-time dad moment of peeing my pants at the lake. I also talk about how Mac Miller's music unexpectedly calmed the baby, and reflect on discipline and competition at my Muay Thai gym's smoker. This podcast is part comedy, part journal, and part love note — a way to document my life as a new father while sharing stories with anyone who's ever tried to balance parenting, passions, and just making it through the week. 👉 Follow along for more stories and updates on social media: Instagram: @rodescuhopkins | @rh2studios New episodes drop weekly.
