67: Lewis Howes – How To Create Greatness in Your Life and Business

Greatness is more about discovering and cultivating our unique talents and gifts to pursue and live our dreams. On today’s episode, we’ve got something a little different. I’m talking with Lewis Howes, who is the first ever returning guest on NIONradio. Lewis is a very good friend of mine, and has had a very big influence in my life. He is actually the one that inspired me to start this very podcast. He’s a lifestyle entrepreneur who has built a business around finding out what makes people great. Today he’s releasing his new book, The School of Greatness, which is all about creating greatness in your life and business. It’s a great book for creative entrepreneurs, as it focuses on getting that business side of your brain working.
