In this 2023 interview from episode 232, Lewis gave us a masterclass on how to develop a greatness mindset and the work it takes to get there. Once upon a time, as a senior in college and an all-American athlete, Lewis had it all. Then he received some life-changing news. The night before a big football game, Lewis's father got into a car accident that left him in a coma. When his dad could no longer guide him, Lewis started seeking new mentors, and he began reaching out to highly accomplished people, asking them about their stories of success. In this conversation, we'll explore some of the key lessons Lewis has learned from his quest, uncovering how we can all embrace our own paths to greatness.

Yap gang, 2025 is a year of change for me. I'm single and there's nothing tying me down to Jersey anymore. And so I'm looking to set up residence in Texas or Florida. Whether you're seeking inspiration for your personal journey or looking to elevate your professional life, you are going to want to hear this. I'd love to talk to you about your story and your own journey towards greatness and what you've learned along the way. And I've got to stay there at least six months and one day so that I can save on taxes and switch up my dating pool. Now it's a toss up between Miami and Austin. I'm super familiar with Miami, but I haven't really explored Austin much. And with so many entrepreneurs raving about it, I've at least got to test it out.

And from my understanding, when I was doing my research, a major piece of your story occurred when you were sleeping on your sister's couch in Columbus, Ohio, at the age of 23. You had an injury that abruptly ended your professional football career. And your dad was recently in a car accident and was put in a coma. You were also pretty broke. So I rented a beautiful home on Airbnb with my business partner this winter so that we could try out Austin and see if it's the right fit for us. Now, I don't really know what I'm going to do in terms of the city I'm living in next year for most of the year, but I do know what I'm going to do with my pad when I'm not in it. And that's hosting on Airbnb, of course.

And it seemed like the walls of your world were basically caving in on you. So I'd love to understand what were the aha moments or the series of moments that got you off of your sister's couch?
Lewis Howes 2:01
I think I had something inside of me calling me for something more in a moment of, or in many moments, many months of breakdown and sadness and kind of grieving, grieving the loss of my dream of playing football, grieving my father who was in the hospital for many months in a coma, and just kind of grieving loss in general, emotional, mental, physical loss. and having a lack of certainty.
