Lewis gets brutally honest about the hidden cost of staying “busy.” He shares how even exciting opportunities can quietly pull you away from your vision—and how saying no with clarity is actually an act of self-respect. For him, it's not about doing more. It's about doing what matters most, with intention. And that starts by asking a deceptively simple question each morning: What three things must I accomplish today for it to be a win?

He also opens up about the tool that’s helped him most over the years: setting an energetic intention before every meeting, task, or moment. Not just to perform better, but to show up with presence, generosity, and joy. This isn’t just productivity advice—it’s a mindset shift that could literally change how you experience time, connection, and purpose in your day.
