What personal experiences shaped Lewis Howes' beliefs about money?
My friend, welcome back to the School of Greatness. I'm excited about today because I'm sharing something a little bit different than I've ever shared, I think, here in over 12 years of the School of Greatness. I'm sharing a live speech that I gave. Now, for those of you who've been on this journey with me for a while, you saw that I had a book come out a couple of months ago called Make Money Easy. And I went on a book tour. And maybe some of you were there. We had an amazing time. It was seven cities in like 10 days all around the country. It was, I think, maybe two weeks or three weeks after I'd just gotten married. So I've had all these amazing life moments happening at the same time from a wedding, getting married to... traveling back to Los Angeles, to launching the book, then going on tour for a few weeks, and getting to meet so many people in person was just such a beautiful season of life. And I wanted to share this speech that I gave while I was on tour.
And this is from my New York City stop because I realized that it resonated with so many people. A lot of the times on this show, I interview other people and I ask them about their life story and about their lessons and what greatness means to them and how they overcame challenges and all these things. But so many people come up to me and say, Lewis, please share more of your lessons and your stories from your personal life, but also from all the wisdom that you've learned from the last 12 and a half plus years on the School of Greatness. So in this conversation, you're going to hear me sharing some of my most personal stories from this stop in New York City about childhood trauma, the pain of watching my brother go to prison and what that did for us, the invisible story of unworthiness that I carried for so many years, and these wounds that shaped my belief about success, money, love, and relationships, until I made the conscious choice to start rewriting and rewiring these stories and these beliefs.
And in this conversation, the speech that I shared today, this episode, it's going to show you what's possible when you stop hiding from your past and start healing it. And I'm going to share the unconscious connection between emotional wounds and your financial reality. So if you feel like you're not where you want to be financially, There's a few different areas right now for people. People feel stuck like they've hit a ceiling of their financial opportunities. They feel like they're only making a certain amount every year. And they also feel like they have a stressful relationship with money. So there's a couple of challenges that people have. It's one, they want to learn how to earn more. And two, they want to learn how to have a better relationship with it.
So they want to feel more in harmony with money when they spend it, when they receive it, when they earn it, when they have to pay it for the things they love buying, when they have to pay for the things they don't enjoy like taxes or interest or insurance or things like this. And how can we really have a different relationship with money? And all these things are tied to our money story and our past wounds. And this is some of the research that I've been doing over the last few years that I just found was fascinating because I always had an interesting relationship with money where early in my life, I was afraid of it. I was scared of it. I didn't know how to make it. I didn't know how to receive it, all these things, but I knew I wanted it. And then as I started to learn how to make money, I was excited about it. It was thrilling. And I felt like, wow, this rush every time I'd make it.
But I also had some underlying wounds tied to it that made me feel like people were taking advantage of me or that if I wasn't making as much money after a few months, then something was wrong with me. So I had this negative relationship with it also. And so you could be really good at making money, but also not feel good about yourself. And I wanted to understand why.
