Lewis Howes: Living A Passionate Life

Rich Roll
About this episode

Life should be lived passionately.

So says today's guest Lewis Howes, and I couldn't agree more.

If you are immersed in the online marketing world, you've probably heard of Lewis — a former professional football player & renown pioneer lifestyle entrepreneur. But in case you haven't, let me introduce you to his universe.

Lewis is a former two-sport All-American (football & decathlon) and current world record holding athlete (most yards received in a single football game), has graced lists such as Details Magazine’s “5 Internet Gurus Who Can Make You Rich” and Incomediary.com’s “50 Most Influential People in Blogging.” Most recently, Lewis was ranked as one of Genjuice.com’s top “100 Most Desirable Mentors” along with the likes of Barack Obama, Russell Simmons and the Queen of Jordan.

In just three years, my man went from a depressed and aimless former professional Arena-league football player who's career was cut short due to injury sleeping on his sister’s couch to running a seven figure business. He began his entrepreneurial career by hosting LinkedIn meetups around the country, and co-authoring the successful book LinkedWorking. He has hosted over 400 webinars, spoken to thousands at conferences and events, and educated career professionals and business owners around the world on the power of LinkedIn.

Not enough? He's also a member of the U.S. National Team Handball squad. He loves CrossFit too. Don't worry, we get into all of it.

Oh yeah, he's also the host of The School of Greatness Podcast, currently blowing up charts on iTunes. I was honored to be a guest on his show a couple weeks back and am pleased that he joined me for an enlightening and inspiring chat about discovering, unlocking, and unleashing your best, most authentic self – my favorite subject.

I hope you dig the show and end up as inspired as I was sitting down with him in person.
