Let the world close the doors, and walk through the ones that remain open." - Jay ShettyJay Shetty walked out of a monastery with nothing—no family wealth, no safety net, no backup plan. While his friends inherited property portfolios and BMWs, he had to scratch and claw his way into building a life from zero. But here's what blew his mind: those same friends with everything handed to them? Many never found careers. Never found purpose. Some are still searching. Meanwhile, Jay's emptiness became his greatest advantage. When you have no choice but to figure it out, you develop a different muscle—one that transforms limitation into possibility. His spiritual mentor told him something years ago that changed everything: stop trying to pick the "right" door. Your job is to open as many doors as possible and walk through the ones the world doesn't close. Most of us stare at two options, paralyzed by the illusion that life is binary. But Jay's learned from watching monks and millionaires alike that the people who thrive aren't the ones with the best circumstances—they're the ones who refuse to believe they've run out of options.This conversation cuts through the myth that your environment determines your destiny. Jay shares the Edison wisdom that haunts him in the best way: "When you believe you've exhausted all options, remember this—you haven't." It's not about the first ten ideas your mind generates (those are always the obvious ones). It's about pushing past that initial resistance to idea eleven, twelve, twenty—where real innovation lives. Whether you came from abundance or scarcity, had supportive parents or toxic ones, grew up in paradise or a wasteland, Jay's message lands the same: you have way more influence over your life than you think. The moment you accept that truth, even if you don't fully believe it yet, you create a crack in the wall—and that's all you need to start breaking through.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's not the wealth—it's who you became." - Dr. Joe DispenzaDr. Joe Dispenza shares the story that stopped me in my tracks: a man who attempted suicide three times, who couldn't scrape together two dollars, walked into one of Joe's events carrying nothing but desperation. Today, that same man is worth hundreds of millions of dollars—and he can't give it away fast enough. But here's what shook me: his first instinct after creating wealth wasn't to hoard it or protect it. It was to give. Why? Because he'd fundamentally rewired who he was. He'd sat with the discomfort of lack long enough to understand it wasn't his identity. He stopped letting his body's addiction to familiar feelings of scarcity dictate his thoughts, and in doing so, he didn't just heal his bank account—he healed his heart, his mind, and his entire relationship with abundance.Joe breaks down exactly why most of us stay stuck in cycles of lack, even when we desperately want to change. Your body—your unconscious mind—has been conditioned to feel a certain way, and it's literally addicted to those familiar emotions. When you try to think differently, your body revolts like you're breaking any other addiction, flooding you with cravings to return to old patterns. But Joe reveals the practice that changes everything: sitting with yourself without distraction, watching the thoughts that come up (those are exactly why you're not abundant), and mentally rehearsing how an abundant person would walk, breathe, speak, and move through their day. When you do this consistently, your brain can't tell the difference between the rehearsal and reality—you start installing the neurological hardware of abundance before you ever see a dollar.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It does not build self-worth. It brings down your worth." - Lewis HowesLewis opens up about spending decades trapped in a cycle of saying yes to everything - not because he wanted to, but because he feared what people would think if he didn't. The constant people-pleasing wasn't creating connection; it was creating an internal war that drained his energy and destroyed his self-worth. He breaks down the harsh truth: when you're doing things solely for validation or to be liked, you're not protecting your peace - you're giving it away. This isn't about obligations or genuine commitments you've made; it's about those draining requests from people who only want to take, the favors that leave you feeling empty, the yeses you give just to stay in someone's good graces. Lewis challenges the belief that courage means suffering alone, revealing instead that real courage is about having the strength to ask for support and set boundaries without guilt.Lewis delivers a practical framework for reclaiming your energy and building genuine self-worth. He walks through the questions you need to ask yourself before saying yes: Am I doing this for me or for validation? Am I giving because I want to, or because I need to be liked? He introduces a simple but powerful practice - saying no to just one small thing today, even if it feels terrifying. The insight that "rejection of an opportunity is not a rejection of you" reframes how we think about boundaries entirely. Lewis reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear - it's resistance to fear, mastery of fear. When you stop letting fear of rejection control your decisions, you finally create space for the peace and self-worth you've been searching for.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

But obscurity is forever." - Michael BubléMichael Bublé has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, headlined massive tours, and built an empire that spans music, television, and luxury brand partnerships. Yet in this brutally honest conversation, he reveals the insecurity that still haunts him twenty years into his career - and why he deliberately chose to stay in Vancouver with his high school friends instead of moving to LA where the industry could have swallowed him whole. When he admits his wife has more Instagram followers than him and that his kids don't consider him as successful as some 20-year-old with 60 million followers, you hear the vulnerability that most celebrities would never dare share publicly.What makes this conversation so powerful isn't just Bublé's willingness to expose his doubts, but his hard-earned wisdom about separating who you are from what you do. He breaks down the difference between being successful and being perceived as successful, why he had to make the conscious choice to stay grounded, and how he's learned that the metrics of success keep changing but your character doesn't have to. This is a masterclass in maintaining authenticity when the whole world is trying to change you, told by someone who's managed to stay himself for two decades in an industry that eats people alive.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Forget the flashy cars and designer everything - the real millionaires are driving four-year-old used cars and saying no to things they could easily afford. George led the largest study of millionaires ever done in North America, and what he discovered will completely flip your understanding of how wealth actually gets built. These aren't trust fund babies or lottery winners - these are everyday people who cracked a code that most of us are programmed to ignore.What makes this conversation so powerful is how George connects the dots between our instant-gratification culture and why we're financially struggling. He reveals why 97% of millionaires share one crucial belief that separates them from everyone else, and it has nothing to do with their income level. Whether you're making $40,000 or $400,000, these four habits work every single time - if you're willing to embrace delayed gratification in a world that profits from your impatience. Lewis even shares his own story of driving a $4,000 car for five years while having a million in the bank, proving that true wealth builders think completely differently about money than the rest of us.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rhonda Byrne, the woman who introduced millions to the Law of Attraction through "The Secret," reveals something most people get completely wrong about manifestation. It's not just about positive thinking - it's about understanding that every time you say "I'm broke," "I'm overwhelmed," or "I don't have enough," you're actually programming your brain to create more of exactly that. She breaks down why some people seem to have the golden touch with everything they invest in while others struggle endlessly, and it comes down to something so simple yet so profound: the difference between speaking about what you want versus what you lack.This conversation will completely shift how you talk to yourself and others. Rhonda explains why your thoughts aren't just powerful - YOU are powerful, and you're unknowingly using that power to create either abundance or scarcity in every area of your life. She shares the exact mental shifts that can transform overwhelming situations into opportunities and reveals why working harder without changing your beliefs is like running on a treadmill - lots of effort, but you're not actually going anywhere. If you've ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly attract success while others can't break through despite their best efforts, this episode holds the key.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
