I don't have to take care of the needs of my alcoholic father." - Gabor MatéGabor Maté sat across from Lewis and said something most parenting experts won't admit: he hurt his own children. Not through malice or neglect, but through something more insidious—unhealed wounds he didn't even know he carried. He reveals how your stress as a partner affects your child before they're even born, how children absorb their parents' unresolved pain like emotional sponges, and why so many well-intentioned parents end up repeating the very patterns they swore they'd never inflict. But here's what makes this conversation essential: Maté doesn't just diagnose the problem. He breaks down the four irreducible needs every child must have—needs that indigenous societies naturally provided for millennia, but that our modern world systematically denies.This isn't about perfect parenting or having all the answers before your kid arrives. It's about understanding that the work of raising healthy children starts with facing your own shadows first. Maté explains why free play matters more for brain development than any educational program, why children need to rest from the burden of managing adult emotions, and what happens when we give toddlers screens instead of space to be bored, curious, and wildly creative. Whether you're expecting your first child, struggling with teenagers, or trying to make sense of your own upbringing, this conversation illuminates why so many of us feel broken—and what it actually takes to stop that cycle.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

At 19, sitting with a pain so heavy in her chest she could barely breathe, she asked the most dangerous question someone in despair can ask: Is love even real? And if love isn't real, is God? That brutal honesty—that willingness to sit in the wreckage of a broken heart and question everything—became the doorway to understanding something revolutionary about human suffering. Through decades of research in neuroscience and psychology, she discovered what her own pain had been trying to tell her: depression isn't always the enemy we think it is. For over two-thirds of young adults, that crushing weight isn't a chemical malfunction to be medicated away—it's a spiritual alarm clock, banging on the door of your soul, demanding you wake up to a deeper way of living.This conversation will shift how you see your own struggles. Lisa reveals why that restlessness you feel—the sense that your relationship, your career, your entire life just doesn't fit anymore—might not mean you need to blow everything up and start over. Sometimes the answer isn't out there in a bigger job or different partner. It's an invitation to go inward, to discover the spiritual dimension of yourself that's been hungry for something more meaningful all along. She walks through the three unavoidable bridges we all cross (early adulthood, midlife, and our elder years) where these questions become impossible to ignore, and shares exactly how to recognize when your pain is actually propelling you toward awakening rather than destruction.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you constantly live in fear, your world gets smaller and smaller." - Tony RobbinsTony Robbins breaks down why so many of us stay stuck even when we desperately want to change. He uses this brilliant metaphor: imagine your identity is like a thermostat set to 68 degrees. You might dream about hitting 98, or panic when you drop to 60, but either way, you'll sabotage yourself back to what feels familiar. It's not about willpower or motivation—it's about who you believe you are at your core. Tony shares why he still does the fire walk after all these years, and it's not some motivational gimmick. It's about giving people a visceral experience that rewires their brain in real-time. When you walk across burning coals and make it to the other side, something shifts: "If I could do that, what else could I get myself to do?" That question changes everything.What makes this conversation so powerful is how Tony dismantles the difference between beliefs and experiences. You can read every self-help book on the planet, but until you actually do something that scares you, until you break through that invisible ceiling you've built around yourself, nothing truly changes. He talks about overprotected kids who never broke a bone being more fearful than the ones who got hurt and healed—there's no substitute for lived experience. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending fear doesn't exist. It's about understanding that your current identity, the labels you've given yourself based on your past, might be the only thing standing between you and the life you actually want. Tony shows you how to expand that identity so the breakthrough becomes inevitable.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this intimate exchange, Baya and Lewis dive into the quiet courage it takes to say no without guilt and to believe that you’ll still be okay when you do. She reminds us that real love isn’t earned through contortion or compromise, it’s built on alignment, truth, and the safety of being fully seen.What begins as a conversation about romantic boundaries unfolds into something deeper — a reflection on friendship, self-worth, and emotional honesty. Baya shares how lifelong friendships anchor her when everything else shifts, and Lewis opens up about his own recent journey of redefining what healthy relationships look like. Together, they explore the idea that outgrowing people doesn’t mean failure, it means you’re finally growing into yourself.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Her poetry collections Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers topped bestseller lists for years. She was performing to sold-out arenas, praised by critics and fans alike. But behind the applause, Rupi was struggling with something quieter and harder to measure—the belief that she was worthy of being seen and heard. The pain of her early life, the silence forced on her, still echoed even in her loudest moments of success.In this conversation with, Rupi opens up about how fame didn’t build her confidence—it nearly buried it. She reveals the emotional cost of staying grounded when the world wants to lift you up for the wrong reasons, and how learning to pause, connect, and truly value herself became the real victory. This isn’t a story about a poet’s success; it’s about the courage to reclaim your self-worth when every external sign says you’ve already “made it.”Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You are the soul, partially incarnated." – Gary ZukavGary Zukav shares one of the most beautiful metaphors ever spoken on The School of Greatness. He describes the soul as a mothership, vast and alive, with small boats sailing around it. Each of those little boats is one of our personalities. When your personal ship moves in the same direction as the mothership, when your choices match your soul’s true purpose, the wind carries you and the sea feels calm. But when you sail against that current, everything becomes a struggle.He explains that we’re not guided by a soul, but expressions of it, like a cup of water taken from the ocean that is still, in essence, the ocean. This revelation first came to him during his first interview with Oprah and continues to shape how he understands love, purpose, and choice. It’s a conversation that helps you imagine your life as a voyage where inner alignment decides the strength of your wind and the peace in your journey.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
