Having navigated multiple economic downturns over his 40-year business career, Dean shares a surprising truth – most Fortune 500 companies were started during a recession when others sat paralyzed by fear. Through raw stories of his challenging childhood with an abusive father and his journey to financial freedom, Dean explains why money is like oxygen: when you lack it, it consumes your thoughts. But once you secure it, you must face the deeper work of healing. His vulnerable admission that he initially thought his pain was the source of his drive offers a powerful lesson for anyone using past trauma as fuel for success.Dean’s book Millionaire Success HabitsDean’s book The Underdog Advantage - Rewrite Your Future By Turning Your Disadvantages Into Your SuperpowersDean’s book Be a Real Estate Millionaire: How to Build Wealth for a Lifetime in an Uncertain EconomyIn this episode you will learn:Why most Fortune 500 companies were started during a recession, and how to use others' hesitation as your competitive advantageHow to develop a "hunger" for wealth that remains unaffected by external economic conditions or media negativityWhy money is like oxygen - when you lack it, it dominates your thinking and prevents you from living your full potentialThe powerful four-part pyramid framework for achieving goalsHow to use pain as temporary motivation while building a more sustainable "compelling future" that pulls you forwardFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1766For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Dave Ramsey – greatness.lnk.to/1758SCAnthony O'Neal – greatness.lnk.to/1738SCAlex Hormozi – greatness.lnk.to/1723SC Get more from Lewis!

Chapter 1: Who are the hosts and what is the episode about?
How do we build true freedom when there's so much uncertainty happening in our lives or in the world? And I think that's what we're all looking for is that feeling of peace, abundance and freedom in our lives. And a lot of times we want it externally. We want to feel like we have the options, the opportunities.
the abilities to actually go create what we want, to create a life that we want, to have the things we want, to be in the relationships we want. We're looking for the external environment to be a certain way for us to feel something on the inside. But a lot of the times we need to figure out how to feel that way first. How do we feel expansive, abundant, peaceful?
How do we feel free so that we can truly create wealth and have financial freedom no matter what is happening in the external world. And I think that's a lot of what I've been researching and diving into in my own personal experience about how to create that, specifically from the latest book that I wrote, Make Money Easy, which is all about healing that relationship with money.
And in this episode, you have a great opportunity today because my good friend Dean Graciosi is on, and he emphasizes that true wealth isn't just financial. It's having the freedom to heal your past wounds, become the person you're meant to be, and serve others from a place of abundance.
He's also going to share why having hunger is critical in uncertain times and how to maintain it without letting it come from a place of pain. And he's also going to be sharing a powerful four-step process for setting and achieving goals that actually move the needle in your life. And listen, there are some uncertain times that are going to be happening in the next year.
It might be in three to six months. It might be in 12 or 18 months. But things are shifting in the economy. Things are shifting in the world. And I want you to be prepared. I went on a trip with Dean Graciosi and Tony Robbins six years ago to Fiji.
and had a powerful experience, a mastermind experience with both Tony Robbins and Dean Graciosi, where they shared some of these things about how to be prepared in life, in business, around your finances, when tough times are coming. And they might be coming soon. And whether they're coming now or in the future, eventually they're going to come, just like they did during COVID.
and i want you to be prepared and dean and tony also have a brand new free live virtual event that is all about the plan to create the business and life that you love in a chaotic world they've got a bunch of special guests some of my friends are going to be there speaking and i want you to sign up for it it's completely free it's a virtual event and if you go to lewishouse.com thrive

Chapter 2: How can you recession-proof your financial future?

Yeah, and what's cool about... If you think why most businesses fail is because they don't have the blueprint or the guide, right? They don't have somebody saying, no, no, no, Lewis, don't go that way. I've been down that road. You go off a cliff, go this way. No, you can, like the accountability, the capabilities.
And that's what we're, I mean, especially now with all the changes going on in the world, we're so freaking stoked. I mean, one of the things we're going to share and let people work with it, use it as well, is we built an AI that thinks like Tony and I in this industry. Like imagine having... tapping to Tony and Dean's brain to help you keep moving forward.
