“When you really learn to appreciate fresh foods, things can taste so much better than you’re used to.”

I talked about my weight loss experience a while back with my friend Abel James on his podcast Fat-Burning Man and in this episode on The School of Greatness he’s coming on as my guest to talk about his experiences in getting healthy.

Abel has a pretty awesome story himself about his transition from overworked and unhealthy consultant to incredibly fit and healthy entrepreneur.

Abel is an awesome guy and I got re-inspired to eat better during our conversation. I chose a clip for this 5 Minute Friday episode where he explains why every body is different and it pays to play to your natural advantages when optimizing your health.

Be an Accidental Apprentice to the People Around You | Lewis Howes Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

“Acknowledge the people around you right now and how you can get the most out of them.”

Jeff Goins is a popular blogger and author. In our conversation, we cover the heart of the matter: what if we don’t have one purpose in this life? What if we’re built to do many things and it’s about the journey of discovering those talents that teaches us what we’re here to learn?

In this clip for 5 Minute Friday, I am sharing Jeff's advice about being an accidental apprentice to the people in your life instead of waiting for the perfect mentor to show up.

Lead by Example, Then Get Out of the Way | Lewis Howes Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

“Done is better than perfect.”

Than has taught me so much over the years about how to build a successful business and I’ve watched him scale his from 30 employees to over 300 in just a few years.

I wanted to bring him on the podcast because I know scaling your business can be one of the most challenging obstacles entrepreneurs face.

However, when I asked Than for his best advice on this, we ended up talking about how to hire the right team and empower them to make decisions for you.

This whole conversation is a gold mine for anyone in business. For this 5 Minute Friday clip, I am sharing his thoughts on leading by example, taking care of yourself so you can perform well, and managing your time wisely.
