"How many kids in our country are getting the emotional education they need to achieve their dreams in life?" - Dr. Marc Brackett

Dr. Marc Brackett was eleven years old when he finally told someone about the sexual abuse. His mother had a breakdown. His father grabbed a bat and went to kill the man. Then came the arrest, the court case, and the decision that would make everything worse: going on television to talk about it. Overnight, he became the kid nobody wanted their children near. Teachers whispered. Parents pulled their kids away. The bullying intensified. He was labeled damaged goods, living proof that some wounds mark you forever. But one summer, his Uncle Marvin asked him a question nobody else had bothered with: "How are you feeling?" They sat together working through emotional vocabulary, and Marc realized he couldn't name a single time he'd felt elated, but he could talk all day about feeling alienated. That conversation became the foundation for everything that followed.

Years later, Marc saw "Emotional Intelligence" on the cover of Time Magazine and recognized his uncle's work from twenty years earlier. He pulled Uncle Marvin out of retirement, and they met at a Dunkin Donuts in Fort Lauderdale to build a curriculum that would eventually change how schools teach kids about emotions. Marc earned his PhD studying with the scientists who pioneered emotional intelligence research, got a fifth degree black belt in Hapkido, practiced Zen meditation, and spent three decades researching what it actually takes to heal. Now a professor at Yale (the same school that once rejected him), he's honest about what it required: an uncle who cared enough to ask, thirty years of dedicated study, martial arts discipline, and relentless inner work. Lewis and Marc dig into why accomplishing every goal on your list means nothing if you still don't feel enough, and how emotional education is the missing piece most people never get access to.

"Motivation is a feeling, but discipline is a choice. We are what we repeatedly do." - Lewis Howes

Lewis reveals the brutal inner voice that haunted him for years—the one that called him an idiot after every mistake, that told him he wasn't good enough, that kept him stuck in cycles of self-destruction. He shares how he spent two decades struggling to learn Spanish, constantly telling himself "I can't do this" until he discovered a simple phrase that changed everything: "I'm learning to." It sounds almost too simple, but that shift from self-criticism to self-compassion became the foundation for everything else. He talks about his basketball days, diving after loose balls, and how coaches kept him on the court not because he was the most talented, but because he hustled in the moments that mattered. That same mentality carried into his entrepreneurial journey—until it nearly destroyed him.

When Lewis finally started making money after being broke on his sister's couch, he went all-in on the hustle-culture mentality. He worked 24/7, gained weight, ate garbage, stopped sleeping, and burned himself completely out. Thirteen years and almost 2,000 podcast episodes later, he's learned the truth: real hustle isn't about grinding yourself into the ground—it's about showing up consistently when no one's watching. He breaks down why discipline beats motivation every time, how to pick one non-negotiable habit that aligns with your actual vision (not someone else's), and the morning question that helps him face his fears instead of running from them. If you've been trapped between beating yourself up for not being perfect and burning out trying to prove you're enough, this is the reset you need.

"As a child, I don't have to absorb the stress of my parents. I don't have to take care of the needs of my alcoholic father." - Gabor Maté

Gabor 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.

"Right where the pain is, is the portal of entry." - Dr. Lisa Miller

Dr. Lisa Miller knows what it feels like to have your heart completely shattered. 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.

"Identity is the strongest force in the human personality. If you constantly live in fear, your world gets smaller and smaller." - Tony Robbins

Tony 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.

"Bending over backwards in a relationship is not love." – Baya Voce

When Baya Voce talks about boundaries, she isn’t speaking from theory, she’s lived through the emotional chaos that comes when you mistake self-sacrifice for connection. 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.
