How To Embrace Your True Strength, Turn Your Pain Into Power & Create A Legacy
13 Jun 2025
Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Three legendary figures reveal how fatherhood and family transformed their relationship with success and purpose. Matthew McConaughey shares the moment his relationship with Camila gave him courage to turn down millions in romantic comedies, leading to his Oscar-winning transformation, while confessing he wrote down 10 life goals at age 21 - including winning an Oscar before he was even acting. Kobe Bryant opens up about learning fundamentals after scoring zero points an entire summer at age 11, then using psychological warfare to elevate teammates and dominate opponents. Terry Crews delivers the most vulnerable story, describing his 30-year journey from an abused child in Flint to beating up his father at age 30, only to discover revenge solved nothing. Each man discovered that true strength comes not from individual dominance, but from the courage to serve something greater than themselves - whether through committed relationships, team excellence, or breaking generational cycles.Matthew’s book GreenlightsMatthew’s kids book Just BecauseKobe Bryant Dear BasketballTerry’s book Manhood: How to Be a Better Man-or Just Live with OneTerry’s audiobook Tough: My Journey to True PowerTerry’s kids book Terry's CrewIn this episode you will learn:How writing down your goals creates an invisible contract with your subconscious that works for decadesWhy the fundamentals beat natural talent when you commit to daily practice over yearsHow committed relationships give you more courage and creativity in your career, not lessThe psychology behind using work ethic as a weapon to mentally break down competitionWhy revenge fantasies destroy your soul even when you get the payback you wantedFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1784For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Matthew McConaughey – greatness.lnk.to/1422SCKobe Bryant – greatness.lnk.to/691SCTerry Crews – greatness.lnk.to/1258SC Get more from Lewis!
