813 Live Intentionally

Author: Lewis Howes June 21, 2019 Duration: 5:24
WRITE YOUR STORY. Everyone has a story. You do. I do. Your life will be recorded. The question is, is your story the one that you want to be told? We often let other people write our pages instead of taking the pen and doing it ourselves. If you want your life to be a masterpiece, you’re going to have to live intentionally. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with John Maxwell where he shared the gift that inspired him to live an intentional life. John C. Maxwell is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has sold more than 25 million books in fifty languages. In 2014 he was identified as the #1 leader in business by the American Management Association and the most influential leadership expert in the world by Business Insider and Inc. magazine. The recipient of the Mother Teresa Prize for Global Peace and Leadership from the Luminary Leadership Network, Dr. Maxwell speaks each year to Fortune 500 companies, presidents of nations, and many of the world's top business leaders. John says that in order to live intentionally, you have to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. You have to take your good intentions and act them out.

Lewis Howes brings a unique perspective to his conversations, shaped by his own journey as a New York Times best-selling author, a former professional athlete, and an entrepreneur. In The School of Greatness, he sits down with a diverse roster of world-class performers, from celebrated business minds and elite athletes to groundbreaking scientists and influential artists. These aren't just interviews; they're deep, often personal explorations into the habits, mindsets, and pivotal moments that define extraordinary success. Each episode feels like a masterclass, breaking down the principles of high achievement across health, fitness, business, and mental wellness into actionable insights. You’ll hear firsthand stories of resilience, innovation, and personal transformation that go far beyond typical success formulas. This podcast serves as a consistent source of motivation and practical wisdom, whether you're looking to build a company, improve your physical and mental health, or simply find the drive to pursue a more fulfilling life. Tune in for honest dialogues that cut through the noise and focus on what it genuinely takes to cultivate greatness in your own endeavors.
