Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1990DM Brad Beeler spent 25 years in the Secret Service getting people to admit the worst things they've ever done. His top communication tip: be interested more than you try to be interesting. A nervous suspect sits at 120 or 130 beats a minute, deep in fight or flight. Beeler wants that heart rate down before he asks anything hard. So he bought one suspect Wendy's and a Frosty. Nervous people don't eat, and this man scarfed it down. Beeler had combed the man's Facebook and found a pit bull in photo after photo. He asked about free time and let him beam about that dog for ten minutes. Then the man disclosed something done to him as a kid, at about the same ages as his victims. Beeler went back to the dog. Treated well it's amazing, but shock it and feed it only when it fights and you create a monster. That gave the man an off-ramp to the truth without excusing a thing. He got 47 years in prison.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1580DM Charles Duhigg highlights research showing social connections, not prestige or wealth, most determine happiness and longevity, with double the close friends equating to 20 more years; he argues combating isolation begins with conversation skills, which historically were taught but now are overlooked, causing uncertainty. Duhigg defines "supercommunicators" as those who make us feel heard and valued, a learnable skill not innate charisma, just as babies babble to master language; by demystifying emotional intelligence as a set of competencies like reading, we can reshape our culture to raise kids purposefully developing this "emotional vocabulary". Though digital life enables detachment unlike ever before, we know integration with people truly enriches existence; prioritizing these tools could help reverse trends of loneliness and depression strangling society.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1989DM Grief can stay dry-eyed when a mother dies and then pour out over a dog. Terry Bradshaw, a professional football player, told Lewis he didn't shed a tear when his mother died. Then his dog James died, and he sobbed uncontrollably in the car with the little casket in the back seat. It still bothers him. He built his mother a house and still got guilt for traveling too much, so he swallowed the resentment for years and never said a word. Then he worked it out. “That dog was so sweet to me,” Terry says, and he realized that love and kindness are what break him open. If you're a people pleaser carrying guilt you never earned, take a look at who gives you kindness. And go easier on yourself about the tears that did or didn't come.

Check out the full episode: http://lewishowes.com/309 Andy Puddicombe spent years as a monk, certain he'd given up the dream of ever having a child. Then he landed in America and found out overnight he had testicular cancer. Advanced, aggressive, surgery in four days. The doctor told him if he wanted kids, he had three or four days to get to the sperm bank. Next came the scans. Had it spread? Had it reached his brain? What saved Puddicombe was being okay with not knowing. Sitting in that doctor's chair, he was alive and in no pain. “Everything else is an idea.” His image for it: stay present on the side of the road instead of hopping in the cancer car and driving miles down the what ifs. Two months after the operation, his wife got pregnant. Their son is 18 months old now. Exhausting, he says, and the thing he's most grateful for.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1988DM David Bach heard a CNBC guest say renting in Brooklyn and investing the difference beats owning. He thinks that math is wrong. Put $20,000 down on a $100,000 home. It grows 10% and you just made $10,000 on $20,000. That's a 50% return. Then the tax piece. Sell your own home after two years and the first $250,000 of profit is tax free. Married, it's $500,000. Bach has done it with a San Francisco home and two in New York. His first place was a complete dump he bought with his best friend. Every dollar went in, with under six months of expenses saved on a commission only job. He called his dad, scared he couldn't make the mortgage. His dad said, “Well, son, nothing will motivate you like that.” His plan is three homes over a lifetime. Rent out two, pay off the third. Can't afford it? Buy anyway and rent rooms to your friends. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1987DM “Been busy?” is the worst question you can ask anyone. Vanessa Van Edwards says it sends the other person's brain hunting for negativity. They either list how exhausted they are or admit nothing is going on. No win. “What do you do?” comes second. Everyone has answered it so many times the brain stays on autopilot. Her fix when someone asks you: start with a clear label and who you do it for. Then share your why and toss it back. Or just be funny. “How are you?” “Seven out of 10.” Van Edwards calls herself a recovering awkward person. For years she walked into conversations trying to razzle dazzle. What changed everything: being easy to talk to beats being impressive. She splits people into entertainers and appreciators. Two appreciators together stall out, so learn to flex into the other role.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1986DM Jo Koy used to stand in the shower and pretend he was winning the Apollo. Full self-introduction, no jokes written. Just the intro. His first real set: 18 years old, lied and said he was 21, drew a mustache on with his mom's eyeliner, wore a borrowed suit into a bar on Eastern and Tropicana. He did nothing but sex jokes. Dead room. Then cottonmouth hit and he kept going anyway. A woman at the back yelled “put a condom on it.” She got the standing ovation. He got to wipe the mustache off in the parking lot. The Lionel Richie impersonator who crushed right before him found him after and said, “I don't know what you got, but you got something on stage.” Koy went home, walked past his mom without a word, laid in bed and remembered a comic saying he bombed 18 times before his first laugh. His thought: okay, I got 17 more. He won the Apollo for real. The shower bit came true. His dad's line, the one he still lives by: don't ever say what if. Just do it.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://lewishowes.com/podcast/r-set-boundaries-build-thriving-relationships/ Chris Lee said something about forgiveness that I keep replaying. Lee's example: if someone was sexually abused and refuses to forgive the abuser, "they keep abusing me." Forgiving never meant calling it okay. It was a conscious decision to take power back, because anger hands someone your energy, and energy is power. Lewis compared it to a remote control. React to someone and you let them push your buttons. Boundaries came next. Friends calling at all hours of the night, crashing into sleep, is a respect problem. Chris and Lewis say their friendship works because either one can say “that doesn't work for me” and the other just adjusts. Lewis spent his whole childhood afraid to be alone, gripping relationships too tightly. So he took himself to dinner alone, then to movies alone, until he actually liked his own company. Lee's explanation for why solitude feels so hard: 90% of the chatter in your head is negative. Notice it, then swap in a better thought.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1985DM Jonathan Fields told Lewis Howes that when everything finally lines up, career, relationships, the whole thing, that's exactly when the old patterns come back to burn it down. His answer wasn't more willpower. It was scaffolding. Inner practices plus an environment engineered so the right action happens by default, before you've spent a single unit of cognitive bandwidth deciding. Fields has done a breathing and meditation practice every single morning for over a decade. Not for bliss. So that when the day goes sideways he responds instead of reacts. On being stuck, he reaches for Byron Katie's The Work. Four questions. Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? Where's the evidence for it? Where's the evidence against it? The stuckness is almost never about the thing you think it's about. Find the bigger thing underneath and the rest loosens on its own.

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/1578DM Dr. Ellen Langer's decades of research shows our mindsets directly impact physiology, evidenced by her landmark study where elderly men regained youthful strength and cognition simply by living one week as their younger selves. She posits we must challenge the harmful tendency to cling to absolutes since external realities are constantly changing, so mindful awareness of novelty is key to wellbeing. Dr. Langer stresses that psychology, not just biology, will be the future of medicine as data continues to demonstrate that presuppositions shape our bodies, but most still fail to recognize mind-body unity. By revealing the fallacy of certainty, she hopes to revolutionize how we perceive and thus experience aging, illness and the inevitability of change. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
