Lewis Howes

I was like, oh, shut up.

Don't talk about money around here.

And what happens if we don't speak about money in a healthy way?

You wrote a love letter to money.

This is a topic that I've been fascinated about for decades because I didn't have money at one point.

Also, I was living on my sister's couch for a year and a half.

I couldn't pay for the rent.

I didn't buy food.

I was just like living off of her for a year and a half while I was recovering from a surgery, a wrist that I broke playing football.

And I was afraid of it.

My father also got into a pretty bad car accident a year prior to me getting injured, where he was kind of that lifeline for me, where he'd give me $100 when I needed it and paid for things and just said, hey, go live your dreams.

And when you're done, we'll figure out what you're going to do with the job.

Right.

He got in a car accident.

He had extreme head trauma, was in a coma for three months.

Oh, my God.

Ended up surviving, but wasn't able to work anymore.

So he was physically alive, emotionally and mentally kind of not here.

So he passed a year ago, but it was 17 years of him struggling, right, to try to recover.

So I had this, you know, father backup to support me financially, in a sense.
