    Turn Anxiety Into Self-Belief: One Hard Thing Daily Changes Everything | Lewis Howes

    Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1879DM Lewis gets brutally honest about something most of us are doing right now without realizing the damage: avoiding hard situations. Like, for Lewis, having hard conversations with people. He used to sweat thinking about difficult talks with people he cared about, overanalyzing every word, dreading the discomfort so intensely that he'd just... not do it. But here's what he discovered: that avoidance wasn't protecting anyone. It was creating constant stress in his body, this low-grade anxiety that never went away. He was abandoning himself every time he chose comfort over truth. And the longer he waited, the louder that internal scream became, slowly eroding his self-trust and self-belief. Here's the shift that changes everything: confidence doesn't come from affirmations or motivation or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from doing the one uncomfortable thing you've been putting off. Maybe it's that conversation, that call, that message you need to send. Whatever it is, it's probably creating more stress by avoiding it than actually doing it would. Even something as simple as moving your body for 10 minutes daily builds self-respect because you're showing up, you're listening to yourself, you're proving you can do hard things. Consistency beats intensity every single time. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who avoids discomfort and start seeing yourself as someone who handles it (who maybe even loves it) everything changes. Do one hard thing today. That's it.

    Why 70% of Your Immune System Lives in Your Gut | Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

    Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1878DM Your body is basically a crowded planet, and the gut is the capital city. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz drops the kind of perspective-shift that makes you sit up straight: around 38 trillion microbes live in you, and he paints a wild “football field” picture where almost all the genetic code in your body belongs to them. Then he connects the dots to why you might feel exhausted and inflamed: 70% of your immune system is stationed in the gut lining, right next to those microbes, separated by just a single layer of cells. When that gut barrier gets weak, unwanted stuff slips through, your immune system stays activated 24/7, and that chronic low-grade inflammation starts quietly wrecking the neighborhood. The takeaway lands hard because it’s personal: your microbiome reflects your life. Food choices, sleep, circadian rhythm, exercise, connection with your partner, even old trauma patterns, all leave fingerprints in the gut. Instead of treating inflammation like a mystery enemy, this conversation nudges you to focus on the gate, the gut barrier, so your immune system doesn’t have to live on high alert. It’s a grounding way to think about healing: less panic, more rebuilding, and a reminder that small daily choices can move you from constant internal stress toward real, steady energy.

    Stop Taking Advice And Start Asking Questions That Transform | James Clear

    Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1372 James Clear doesn't want to give you advice. That might sound strange coming from the guy who wrote Atomic Habits, but here's what he's learned: advice is brittle. What worked for someone else can completely fail you because your context is different. So instead of prescriptions, James offers something more powerful: questions that adapt to whatever season you're in. He talks about falling into this trap where we optimize for what we think we're supposed to be doing, chasing goals that other people encourage while our actual desires get buried. The shift happens when you ask yourself what you're really optimizing for, whether it's money or creative freedom or family time, and then honestly evaluate if your current habits are carrying you toward that future or away from it. The tennis match metaphor he shares cuts through all the noise about control. You don't control what the other player does, but you absolutely influence the game with your own moves. Most of life sits in that space between total control and complete helplessness. James pushes you to ask how you might be contributing to the very situations you say you don't want, which sounds confrontational until you realize it's liberating. It means there are levers you can pull. And when habits stop serving you, it's not about guilt. Sometimes they just outlived their usefulness. These questions keep you honest about whether the daily choices you're making are actually building the life you want or just the life you think you should want.

    Turn Fear of Being Alone Into Unshakable Confidence | Brené Brown

    Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1877 That moment when Lewis says he didn’t want to speak up when friends bullied other kids because he wanted to belong feels painfully familiar, like a memory your nervous system saved in HD. Brené meets him there and drops the gut-punch research: fitting in is a constant scan of the room, deciding who to become so you won’t be left out, and the price is betrayal. You can feel the tension in the paradox she names, wanting connection while quietly disappearing inside it, and the harsh truth that it’s not sustainable. The practical move is small but ruthless: catch yourself in the “Who do I need to be right now?” spiral and replace it with “Who am I, even if it’s awkward?” Choose one place this week to stop performing, even in a tiny way, like saying what you actually think or not laughing at the joke that makes someone smaller. Belonging everywhere starts when you can walk into any room and not abandon yourself just to be liked, because real freedom is being able to stand alone without feeling lonely.
