And again, I've had the fortune of interviewing some of the wealthiest people in the world, billionaires, mega billionaires, multimillionaires, people who have exited hundreds of millions and billions dollars worth of companies. And I've asked poor people questions about what keeps them stuck. I've asked wealthy people questions about what unlocks the keys to freedom in their finances.

Yes, if this is your first time coming to me or you're new to this show, about, what was it, 15 years ago, I was broke on my sister's couch for a year and a half, making almost nothing, barely scrapping by.

I bounced on the weekends for, you know, 10 bucks an hour and trying to get some tips at a nightclub. And I played arena football where I got paid $250 a week as well back in 2007. So I had many different seasons of life where I had no money, I was broke, and I had no clue how I was going to make money.

I didn't have a college degree when kind of the housing crisis crashed and the economy crashed in 2008, 2009. People weren't hiring during that time with those individuals that had bachelor's degrees and master's, let alone people like me who were sleeping on their sister's couch after getting an injury playing football. And I really just didn't have a lot of the tools.

Now, I was lucky enough that my dad instilled some principles in me early on. And unfortunately, when I turned 22, my dad got into a pretty tragic car accident. He was in a coma for many months, and for 17 years, he never was able to work again. So I learned some lessons from him early on about the mindset of making money, and I watched him work so hard. Early on, we didn't have a lot of money.

Then when I turned about 16, his business finally started to take off after 25 years of hard work. He started to make a little bit more money for five to seven years before his accident. And then he just wasn't himself. He wasn't able to work anymore. He lost his memory a lot and his personality shifted where he wasn't able to do much without the care of others for 17 years until he passed.

But there was a big thing that he taught me early on. Not necessarily by what he said, but what he did. And I want to share this with you because I think it's really important. And I'm going to talk about kind of these principles in the book and how you can start to apply them in your life now so you don't have to just wait until the book comes out. But there was one thing he did early on.

Every time we went out to dinner or to a restaurant or, you know, he would take me out after a baseball game to buy ice cream with a local dairy point in Delaware, Ohio, small town in Ohio. And he would always do something that would just make people smile, bring so much joy to people's life for a moment. And it would give people a story. And something he did is he would always tip in $2 bills.

How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
he would tip in $2 bills and it was like, it was like a magic trick every time he did this because I would see him tip or he'd put it in, you know, kind of the, the restaurant receipt thing where you put your money in and you fold it up when the waiter would open it up and they would see $2 bill tip or multiple $2 bills. They would just light up. It was like,

How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
If they were having a horrible day, their energy shifted. It was literally like a magic trick. If you wanted to make someone smile, they would rather take a $2 bill than three, four, or five single dollar bills. It was like they would take less in money, but the experience... the joy that people would gain from a $2 bill was magic. And there was a mindset that he taught me.

It's how can you be generous with your time? How can you be generous with your money? And a lot of the billionaires, a lot of the mega millionaires, there are some of them who are unhappy that stress out a lot. But there are others who just seem like they keep earning and they have a richness to their life. And when I ask them, like, what is the secret to being rich and happy?
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
Because not all millionaires are happy. They might have money, but it doesn't make them rich in life. Can I ask the happy ones, the ones who are... fulfilled in their purpose, the ones who have healthy, intact families still. And I'd ask them, you know, what's the key? And so many of them will tell me, be generous. Be generous with your money. Be generous in how you tip. Tip big.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
And I cannot wait to get this book in your hands. Now, again, it's called Make Money Easy because for most of us, we make money hard. And if you want to create financial freedom and live a richer life, this is the book for you. And there's a few things I want to share with you today.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
And I think what my dad taught me early on is something that I still do today. I carry on his legacy in my wallet. I have $2 bills. I tip with $2 bills. I've been doing it for a long time since his accident. And the joy that this brings people is priceless. You don't have to spend a ton of money to be generous, but you can do it in a generous way to create a moment for people.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
So again, the $2 bill tip strategy is one of the coolest things that you can do, something I've been doing since my early 20s. You don't need a ton of money to tip in twos. but it'll make someone's day much happier and richer in that moment. And you have the power to shift someone's energy by how you show up with your positive attitude, but also with just a creative act of generosity.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
So keep that in mind. It's one of the principles in this book, Make Money Easy. I'm gonna talk about what that is. There's another thing I wanna share with you. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day, and I asked them a simple question. If money was a person in your life, how would your relationship be with money? Now, I want you to think about this.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
When I asked this question to a friend, they said, well, if I was walking into a room and money was there as a person, I would not look at money. I would avoid it. I would ghost it if it tried to text me. I wouldn't reply to it, but I would use and abuse it. And I sat there and I just said, hmm. How do you think money feels if you use it in that way?
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
If you ghost it, if you avoid it, if you don't look it in the eyes, if you don't talk about it, but when it's there, you're going to use it and abuse it. If you had a friend in your life that you treated that way, do you think that friend would enjoy that feeling? Probably not. And I want to ask you again, Leave a comment if you're watching on YouTube. Message me on Instagram.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
Let me know if money were a person, how would your relationship be with money? Tell me what your relationship is. And I just want you to think about that because money is energy. And the way you interact with money, how you interpret it, the way you feel about it when you see it,
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
when it comes to you, when you have to pay it, when you look in your bank account, maybe you don't look in your bank account, how you think about it, when you talk about it, the energy, you either attract more of it or you're repelling it from you and causing more stress in your financial situation. So I want you to think about what your relationship is with money.

And when you change your mindset around money, your entire life becomes richer. Again, we're talking about my book, Make Money Easy. This is not a book about investing. This is not a book about stock market. That's not what this is about. There are tons of books and resources out there. This is about developing a powerful, energetic relationship with money

to cover around the book, but also the mindset shift that you need to change in order to unlock prosperity and abundance for your life. And some of the biggest interviews that we've done on the School of Greatness are around money. Why? Because money is such a big topic in our lives. And so many people feel the stress, they feel the strain, they feel the constraints of their money situation.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
So you feel peaceful when you talk about money, when you have money, when you don't have money, when you spend money, all these different things. So I want to read you a few things that I think will be extremely important for you to know as you're getting this book.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
Because I believe it doesn't matter what skills or what stock trades you know or where to invest your money or how to make more money in terms of like, I'm going to get more money from my job. Like, all that is fine. But if you don't change your relationship with money, you're gonna create more stress when you have more money.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
And I've talked to a lot of millionaires who have lost it all, who have ruined their relationships, who have got extreme anxiety when they've created more money because they haven't done the most important thing first with money, which is change their relationship to it. And if you're tired of living paycheck to paycheck, I'm going to read a little bit of this right now for you.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
If you're tired of living paycheck to paycheck, or if you feel trapped by your monthly expenses, or if you wonder how some people enjoy financial freedom while you seem stuck, your relationship with money begins with having the right mindset because most of us don't have it. Until you heal your relationship with money, nothing can change for the better.
The School of Greatness

Because if you don't care for your money, your money won't care for you. In this book, Make Money Easy, I'm gonna show you how to identify your money style, which is a key to understanding why you are lacking abundance. Most of us have a money style, but we're just not aware of it. And your money style It stems from your money story.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
We have a history of money in our lives, from what our parents talked about it, from how we used it in school. If we, our friends had more money than us, we had a story about money. And that story shapes our lives today with our money style. And so we're going to identify your money style so you can create a future money history that allows you to create more abundance in your life.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
Wouldn't that be awesome? Wouldn't it be great if we could understand our style so that we can shift it to create more? It's also going to teach you how to develop a powerful money mindset so that you can earn more. Most of us aren't thinking in ways of abundance. We're not thinking in terms of our self-worth being good enough to earn more money. We're just afraid of money.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
I asked another friend recently, they said they don't want to make more money because they'd be afraid they would turn into a bad person. And I said, why would you turn into a bad person? Well, because people that I know who have money, they're just stingy. They're not good with their money. They don't treat people well.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
And I don't want to become out of integrity with money and do that to other people. And so again, this money mindset is keeping you trapped. and holding you to a certain ceiling of how much you're able to make right now.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
And once you can break through that money mindset, which a whole book is about, once you can break through that, then you can start to create an enormous amount of financial peace in your life And live in generosity. You don't have to be out of integrity. You don't have to be stingy when you make money. You don't have to be a bad person. Money is energy. And money amplifies who you are.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
So if you're a stingy, selfish person now, when you make more money, you're going to become more of that. If you're a generous, kind, joyful person now, you're going to amplify that energy into the world when you have more money. So it's about shifting our money perspective, our money mindset. But first you have to understand your money story, the history of your money.
The School of Greatness
How To Align Your Mindset To Attract Financial Abundance + A HUGE Announcement
Then you have to understand your money style. Most of us don't know this. I cover everything about that in this book. Then you can create a powerful money mindset so you can earn more. But if you don't follow the steps, you're not going to be able to get to the next level. You always fall back behind if you don't follow these steps.

Then we talked about how to create a money map to reach clear financial goals. Most people aren't clear on how much they want to make on a yearly basis. If you're not clear, why would you create more? If you just say, well, I just want to make millions. Well, Why? Why do you want to make those millions? How many millions? If you want to make a hundred grand, why do you want to make that?

I was just like, there's no way I'm going to learn how to make money. I don't understand it. I didn't go to school for it. I don't know anything about taxes or interest or investments and just like what skills do I have that I can go get a job with? I thought I had nothing. I was just a football player who got injured. I didn't have any skills. I was in the bottom of my class in school.

Both. I get the coffee before the exercise. That coffee sounds pretty good when you're tired. So how long will that positive effect last for? If you're sleep deprived the night before, you wake up, you got a lot going on, but you're tired, you got to wake up and get started. You do a 10, 15 minute HIIT style workout. How long will that make you feel awake?

And how long do you think that would last? Like if you're going from LA to Florida one day, you sleep four or five hours a night, you gotta wake up early. you work out, you got your speech, like how, could you go till dinner pretty sharp? Or is it really gonna last for like three hours? That's sharpness, before it starts to fade.

And yeah, it seems so easy to do it for 60 seconds, five times a day, right? Five minutes, 60 seconds, five times a day. Why is it that so few people do it consistently? They might try it for a day or two, but then they just stop. to do five minutes, 60 seconds five times a day. Why does it seem so hard for people to be consistent with this style of movement?

When did you feel like, though, you needed to get into resistance training? Because you've been studying, you know, the body health for a long time. I mean, you're the expert in this. You took it to your mid 40s to say, oh, I'm actually gonna lift weights and do resistance and get into this. Why did you resist getting into resistance training sooner?

So I'm grateful that you're here. And there was something that we were talking about before we jumped on camera, which was around sleep. And I have a statistic, a couple stats that I saw online about sleep, and I want to have you reflect and share on this. because you have so many different levels of expertise around sleep, nutrition, supplements, food, training, and really optimizing the body.

But at this season of your life, I think we were talking about beforehand, sleep is something that people need to think about and their ability to work out and to physically build muscle and strength and aerobic exercise. But I saw a survey, a WebMD survey found that an average American sleeps 5.7 hours a night. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but 5.7 hours a night.

The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
That's good to know. Part of me was worried like if you're training too hard, does that make you die younger?
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
And I also saw the National Institutes of Health says that six or seven hours of sleep is not enough and can lead to chronic sleep deprivation. I'm curious. Simple question. How many hours of sleep a night do you think humans actually do need to function at a high level? And if we don't sleep that much, what does that mean, this chronic sleep deprivation?

It's not a brisk walk. It's not like a speed walk.

Very hard.
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
And a lot of the talk that's been in the health world or just in the atmosphere lately has been about glucose spikes. When you lose sleep, what happens to your glucose spikes, I guess, in the body? And also when you're high intensity training, what happens to your glucose levels?
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Is that like 1% of the population?
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
And the way around that really- Is that with sedentary, with being sedentary or with having too much sugar consistently?
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Does that mean when they eat, processed or sugary foods, they have a high glucose spike. And then if they don't move, they can't process it better.
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick

After a meal. So you enjoy a meal out with friends. You know you're going to eat poorly. You're having a celebration. You're eating desserts. You're having all the fats, all the things. when should you do this vigorous workout? Like right after you finish or like 30 minutes after?

You just five minutes.
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
How much benefit would that actually give you? Let's say you have a bucket of ice cream. You eat and then you have, not a bucket, but three scoops of ice cream. You have a lot of ice cream after you eat, big meal, you're having cheese, you're having the breads, you're having everything. Then you got your ice cream. I mean, it's like a glucose spike, right?

I mean, you know, food plays a big part in it. What would you say would be a few foods that you would recommend to help with optimal sleep. With optimal sleep? Like what three to five foods should we be eating to support us in sleeping better and what should we remove to help us sleep better?

Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, if you could create an optimal day protocol, let's just say you have all things perfect in life and you can wake up, go to sleep at a certain time, eat what you want, train the way you want, do hot, do cold, like you have a perfect day all the time in the world. How would you set up your perfect day protocol with sleep, food and workouts?
The School of Greatness

We'll make it happen, for sure. I think I asked you this question. I have two final questions. I think I asked you this before. But I'm curious if there's going to be a different answer. It's called the three truths. So imagine a hypothetical scenario. You get to live as long as you want, but it's your last day on earth. And you get to live as long as you want, 100, 200, whatever you want.
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
But eventually you've got to die. You get to accomplish everything you want in this life. All your dreams come true. But for whatever reason, you have to take all of your work with you. So everything you've created in this life, you got to take it somewhere else. Whether you die, it's just got to erase, or it's just not here for the world. So this conversation's gone.
The School of Greatness
Biochemist Reveals The Proven Habits To REVERSE Sleep Deprivation & Reduce Cancer Risk | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
All your content you've made in your podcast, gone. Books, it's all gone. Hypothetical. But on the last day, you get to leave behind three truths. And this is all we would have of your content. Three lessons. What would those three truths be for you?

Yeah, and you have a quote on this that I saw online that said, even one hour of sleep less per night for three nights can disrupt how your body processes sugar and lead to mild insulin resistance. But some good news here, HIIT can almost reverse it. So can you go with less sleep but then train hard and reverse the negative effects?

Those that were only thinking about themselves, not helping others, had more physical pain and ailments based on the stressful environment. Whereas those who were focusing out, that started to go away. And for me, that says something about how service is truly important in our lives. How about number four? is a big one, something I do all the time, is to express gratitude and appreciation.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
This may seem like so basic. This may seem like the dumbest thing because it's so simple, but it will transform and change your life. And when we appreciate everything that we already have, not focusing on all the things that we don't have, but appreciate the things we already have, it puts us in a mindset of abundance, rather than scarcity.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And this is huge because gratitude drowns out negativity and it brings positivity into our lives. It puts us into perspective in the moment of what is meaningful, what we have created, what we have, the people in our life right now. And we can channel that positive energy into everything we're doing and we can shift that positive energy into our vision and our mission.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I can't speak for everyone, but gratitude has been life-changing for me. It's something, again, that I do every day. It's non-negotiable. When I wake up, it's on my voicemail. When someone calls me, I say, tell me what you're grateful for and I'll get back to you. In our team meetings, we talk about it. When we start a meeting, what are you grateful for today?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It's just something when I go to bed at night, I express three things I'm grateful for. All these things help me continue to stay in the present moment, not focused on the past of what I did or how mistakes I made, not worry about the future, but really be present. And that's the key to being happy is focusing on what you have right now and the people in your life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And many of the psychologists that I've interviewed on this show tell me that gratitude is proven to create a happier life. This isn't just some fluffy woo-woo, you know, personal development thing. This is now science. It's been researched. It's been studied and proven that gratitude decreases depression, increases happiness in people's lives.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So don't let gratitude be something you just do from time to time or once in a while or on a holiday or Thanksgiving. You need to find time and place to do it every single day. And the more you do it, the more frequently you do it, the happier you healthier, more fulfilled you will be. And it'll put your life in perspective.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It'll get you out of the things you don't have and focus on things you do have. The simplest way to do that is just to add gratitude to the start of something you're already doing. We talked about this, what will I do? We do it before team meetings. You could do it while you're making coffee. You could do it right before you eat every meal. You could do it
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
What we think, what we speak about, the actions we take, and the cycle continues every single day. And whatever we think, speak, and the actions we do on a daily basis, that becomes our habits, whether we're conscious or unconscious. And going into 2025, I want you to live a conscious life. I want you to think in a conscious way. I want you to speak in a way that
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
When you wake up, when you go to bed, whatever you're about to start something, have a moment. It could be five seconds. I'm grateful for this moment. I'm grateful for this thing. I'm grateful I have this. And really be intentional on that. Spend a few minutes and use that time wisely to express gratitude. For me, again, I wake up every morning. I express the things that I'm grateful for.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I really just wake up and say thank you. Thank you for another day. Thank you for my health. Thank you for the people in my life. Thank you for the challenging times that have helped me grow and improve myself. I try to just say thank you for it all. And that really supports me in the day. And you'll be able to love deeper. You'll create more light for other people.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And you'll appreciate the little things around you more than ever. I'm telling you, a ritual of gratitude will change your life. Again, it seems so basic. It might seem like so, you know, this is not some crazy life hack or some thing, some app or something that's going to switch something on in your brain. This is just going back to the basics to help you improve your happiness.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Habit number five is to create healthy relationships with boundaries. I didn't know what a boundary was until really a few years ago in certain areas of my life. And personal boundaries are essential in healthy relationships because they provide the foundation for your expectations, behavior, and how you communicate with others.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Sometimes setting the limits can be challenging and difficult, especially if you want everyone to be happy around you. Now raise your hands if you are a recovering people pleaser like me and you want everyone to like you, you want everyone to be happy around you, you don't want anyone to ever be mad at you for anything.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
That's been me pretty much my entire life up until recently when I learned how to create healthy boundaries and know that I'm going to disappoint people. But the most important person that I'm not going to disappoint is myself. And I was always abandoning myself to try to please others, and I was hurting myself in the process. And you should never hurt yourself.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You obviously don't want to hurt others, but you should never hurt yourself. And we often react differently when we don't get what we want or when what is happening around us isn't what we expected, when that expectation kind of hangover happens to us. Results in frustration or hurt feelings. I know. I know the feeling. You expect someone to say something or do something. They don't do it.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You get let down, it hurts. That's why communication is so important. And whether it's an intimate relationship, a family member, a business relationship, when the boundaries we have set are not met, we feel violated. Or for myself, I felt abused, taken advantage of, and all these different things. And that doesn't feel good. I understand those. feelings. They don't feel good.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So when you create a standard, create a boundary, you've got to communicate and talk about your expectations in that communication process. Sometimes this can be extremely challenging and difficult conversations, especially if you've never done in the past. And oftentimes boundaries are not discussed and that can cause bitterness and resentment.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And to take the proactive approach by discussing boundaries with your partner You can avoid a lot of that pain and stress and disaster. So I highly encourage you to be willing to be uncomfortable in those boundary conversations. And I loved this moment that I had when I interviewed Nedra Tawwab. And she said she was she's like the boundary expert.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And she said, when we think about boundaries, we think about them as something with someone else. But a boundary could be a morning routine. A boundary could be having some quiet time after lunch. It's not just all these things that we need other people to do. It's also what we need to do with ourselves. And I think it's... so important for us to reflect on.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
unlocks possibilities for you and creates opportunities as opposed to breakdowns and barriers. And then I want you to act in accordance with your highest self. Now, this doesn't mean you've got to be perfect every single moment of every day. You've got to cut out every vice you have or any fun experience that brings you joy and live up to some ultimate perfection habit formula.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
What are the boundaries we're keeping with ourselves? Not about significant others or family or friends. What are the boundaries of integrity you're keeping with yourself? So think about that for yourself and the boundaries you want to set in the specific relationships in your life. And really, are any of them being crossed already?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
What are the places in your life where you feel like boundaries are already being crossed? Make a list. Write these down. And are you not respecting the boundaries yourself? Are you crossing boundaries that you shouldn't be crossing with someone else in your life? It's a difficult thing to do, especially if you've never really thought about them.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But when I began setting boundaries in my life, as well as started to hear about the importance of them from different therapists and psychologists that we've interviewed on the show, it made a huge difference. in my emotional, mental, physical wellbeing as well.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Because really, when you think about boundaries, you know, when an emotional, mental, spiritual boundary feels crossed, you almost feel it in your body. I know I did. I would feel tightness, tension. I would have like eczema flare-ups when a boundary was crossed, and I didn't know how to handle it. And you feel the boundary being crossed emotionally and it physically manifests.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So this will continue to help you be happier and physically healthier when you create boundaries. Which leads me into habit number six, which is to take care of your physical health. Work out, eat clean, physical and mental health. The emotional and mental stress can...
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
can really lean into the physical damage if we don't have a clean, healthy relationship with the mental and emotional side of ourselves, creating boundaries and all that other stuff. But taking care of your body consistently, moving your body, exercising is so important for your overall physical and mental health.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
We've had so many different experts come on and talk about the research and the science of how physical movement increases happiness, increases dopamine, makes you feel more confident, all these things. Being stagnant for two weeks and not moving your body will make you feel less and less confident, make you feel weak, and all those different feelings will create stress and anxiety in your life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
When you don't exercise, you're not giving your body the clarity it needs. It's not cleansing itself. It's not moving. And you've got to move in order to get you closer towards your desired goals as well. So you've got to think about these things. What does your body need? It's something that I've started talking about more and more as I've started to integrate this more and more in my life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I started taking boxing lessons online. a couple times a week, six months ago, and it's transformed my physical and mental health. You might have to reassess, like, are the physical activities I'm doing right now supporting me? Or do I need to mix it up? Do I need to try something new? Do I need a new challenge? That's what I did with boxing. I've been able to lift and run and
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
and play sports my whole life, but I felt like I needed something to shift me physically, and boxing was something I'd never done, something that was challenging, it's mental, it's emotional and physical, and it's one of the hardest workouts I've ever done.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So I go early in the morning and I do that because that's been huge for me because it means I can take care of the most important and often the hardest things first, which set up the rest of my day for success. And when I finish a workout early in the morning, And I realized, wow, there's still a lot of people that are asleep who haven't gotten up, who haven't done anything.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
That's not what I'm talking about because that's not the way I live my life. But I do know that there is a price to pay for every decision I make with the way I think, how I speak, and the actions I take. There is a consequence to everything. And that could be a benefit or a side effect of a negativity based on those things as well.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I'm finishing one of the hardest things of the day for me that brings me joy, that makes me a better human, that makes me feel more confident, makes me feel happier, that detoxes things that I need to let go of. When I do that, I feel like, wow, what's next? What is there that I need to do? I can do anything. Bring it to me. I will take on the world today.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And when you start the day with that momentum, I really support you with your overall happiness. Now, if you're not often physically active, don't overwhelm yourself and say, I'm going to do two hours a day of activity and I'm going to go crazy here and I'm going to sign up for all these classes because you'll burn out quick or you'll hurt yourself.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You can start as small as just going for a 10, 20 minute walk around the block. five days a week, and really get started. Just get yourself moving on the process of consistency. And even if you're making small progress, that progress is signaling your brain of the changes that you are wanting to make.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And again, five, 10, 20 minutes a day will eventually be 30 or 60 minutes a day, and it'll continue to build and compound over time. So don't overwhelm yourself by thinking you have to go extremely crazy right off the bat, and I'm going to eat perfect seven days a week, I'm going to train like a machine, and
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I'm going to get 12 hours of sleep and all these things, you're probably not going to be able to sustain that within two weeks. But getting started and being consistent is the key. So anything is better than nothing when it comes to moving your body. And the next thing is really to focus on your diet.

I know when I'm not eating clean consistently, I kind of take the 80-20 approach for nutrition and food. 80% of the time, I try to eat as clean and healthy and organic as possible. 20% of the time, I'm traveling the weekends. I have more sugar and desserts and things that I know aren't the best for fuel for my body. But they taste good, and I give myself that balance.

And you can work out all you want, but you can't outwork your mouth. That's for sure. You cannot outwork your mouth. You can train for an hour, and then if you're having all this cakes and cookies, it's not going to do anything for you. you're actually not doing any favors for yourself. You might be maintaining, but you're not really improving.

And our guests all the time talk about eating things like... I've asked so many different scientists, doctors, and nutritionists about the top food you should be eating. And they all consistently say blueberries, foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon and walnuts and avocado oil, dark chocolate. The list goes on and on from there. Leafy greens, all that stuff. But...
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Eating more of those things, adding more of those things into your body will support you. And you don't want to put in so much effort in your workout routine and then just go have alcohol and sugar and pizza every night. That's not going to really support your growth.
The School of Greatness

You can have cheat meals in moderation, or you can just call it balanced meals in moderation if you don't want to call it cheat meals. I do the balanced 80-20 kind of percent rule.

And you just got to ask yourself, are you happy with the life you have right now? Are you happy with how you've created it? And if you're looking to take back full power in your life, then you must be responsible for the conscious decisions you're making and the unconscious decisions you're making because you have an opportunity to evaluate every single day. Hey, was that thinking process?

And having a clean diet will not, but having a clean diet will not only serve you physically and your health, but also in your mental health, because we've talked about so many different experts who have come on and share that the foods that actually increase your mental health and affect your mood.

And when you're eating poorly, it can increase the feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. And I believe we're starting to really understand more about how much our diet really affects us, how much food really can either hurt us or heal us.

11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So for your future self, it's best if you focus not only on putting your body through the workouts, but also giving your body the cleanest foods possible to eat. Which brings me to habit number seven, the power of breathing. This is something that I really started to practice in sports.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
but didn't start to really learn how to, I wouldn't say I call myself a master at this, but I really didn't start to learn how to master breathing until five years ago when I went to India to study for two weeks meditation and then becoming a meditation instructor.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And then from there, meeting with Wim Hof and doing the Wim Hof breathing techniques, then interviewing James Nestor, talking about breathing, Andrew Huberman, The famous neuroscientist from Stanford who talks about breathing in the brain and how it connects to the brain and the body connection.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And really, the deeper I've gone down this rabbit hole of learning about the mastery of breathing and applying it to myself, I've noticed incredible results. And it's like I'm noticing it quicker and quicker. So it's been really helping me improve my peace, improve my mental health, improve my mood just with breathing. And that is a powerful tool. You don't need...
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Anything you don't need to buy anything. You don't need to Eat anything. You don't need to do anything different in a few moments. You can change the way you feel through your breath and breathing is the number one way to give your mind a reset and and to get you back into a balanced, peaceful state.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
When you're nervous, stressed out, feeling overwhelmed, or catching yourself overthinking something or over-analyzing, breathing exercises can help you get back to calm and control. And that's what this is all about. The power of breath is that it lets you steer your energy. It lets you get back onto habit number one, your vision, as opposed to being distracted, stressed, and overwhelmed.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I did this as an athlete. I would do this going up for big moments in a game in football. Breathe slowly. You know, I had different sports psychologists come on and talk about how in practice you want to actually get yourself up and practice like it's a game. And when you're in a game time situation, you want to slow down because you have so much adrenaline. You want to calm and slow down.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So I do that as an athlete before I get on stage. Right before, I really tried to think about how do I slow it down because I know when the lights turn on, when the music gets on, I'm gonna be hyped, I'm gonna be pumped. But how do I slow down so I can communicate my message effectively as opposed to being all anxious and excited about it?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Was that speaking process? Was those actions actually helping me today or not? Did that serve me? Or did it give me anger and upset and lower my energy? And so every day you have an opportunity to reflect. And when you reflect, and even just do a simple scale, one out of 10, how did I show up today? Am I happy with the day? And if not, then what can I do to improve?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So I wanna share three steps to properly help yourself incorporate breathing into your day today. Number one is to bring awareness to your breath. So really just think about it and bring awareness. And when we're breathing all the time, All day long we're breathing, but we're rarely paying attention to it. We hardly really think about it.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But when we think about it by taking a moment to bring your awareness to your breath, just as it is, you can get out of your head and into the present moment. So when you're focused on breathing, and that's all you focus on, and see how it feels in your body, see how it feels in your mind and your heart and see how it's naturally calming your heart rate.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You can actually feel your heart rate go down and you put your attention on that activity for 60 seconds. You can eliminate other distractions by putting attention on that and get back into a rhythm that will help you in that moment. And this habit is great for when you catch yourself Over analyzing things, stressed, anxious, worried, uncertain about the future.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Just turn your focus back to your breath and temporarily let go of any other stress. The second part is to focus on and lengthen your exhale. This is something I learned in India when I went there five years ago. They take inhales through the nose. And whatever the time amount through the nose, they teach you to practice twice as long exhale out of the nose.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So if you're taking an inhale for two counts in the nose, four counts out of the nose. And by repeating that process, it'll calm your heart rate. It'll calm your mind and get you back into a peaceful state. And you just repeat that process over and over again. Or it could be four inhale and eight out, three inhale, six out. The exhale is just as important, if not more important than your inhale.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So drawing out your exhale will slow your heart rate down and again bring you into a calmer state of mind. And number three is to use a deliberate sigh. So Dr. Andrew Huberman, who is a neuroscientist from Stanford who's been on the show a couple of times, showed me an exercise that involves breathing with a double intake and an extended exhale.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So still the same extended exhale, but a double intake. And by doing this exercise for just two or three cycles can really help you calm down. And it also expands the oxygen level in your body as well. And I urge you to try it a few times during the day when you feel overwhelmed. I've been doing this a lot since he taught me. It's simply you breathe through the nose with a double inhale like this.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So a double inhale. and twice in a long exhale that way. By doing that a few times, it really opens up the oxygen level, calms you at the same time, so practice that a couple times throughout the day. Habit number eight, this is huge. Again, this is no secret, this is no crazy hack, It's just sleep more. Sleep more. Recover.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
These 11 habits will set you up to create health and happiness and abundance. And the first step is really figuring out what is it that I want? What is my vision? What is the day that I want to have? What is the month? And what is the year that I want to have? And when you can get clear on this vision, then you can start mastering the art of breathing.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Your body is going through so much every single day, especially in the last 20 years with all the data and information we are consuming from our smartphones, from computers. We're getting so many data points every day. The body needs more rest. We're working harder. We're trying to be more productive. We're trying to squeeze the juice out of life more, whether it's play, work.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
relationships we're squeezing more juice out of life and we need proper sleep to recover and we're staying up till 2 or 3 a.m and feeling exhausted from the day and anxious about tomorrow then we're going to be in a a sleep deficit and we need to get back on track with that with our sleep so here's a few ways to start getting better sleep Number one, stick to a sleep schedule as often as you can.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Now this can be hard if you're traveling, I get it, but as often as you can, try to go to bed at the same time. Proper sleep recovers and refreshes your mind so the next day can be stress-free.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But it's important to say, okay, I'm gonna be in bed by 10 every night or 11 every night or whatever that time is for you so you have a schedule so you know you're gonna get the certain amount of hours you need. Number two, pay attention to your diet that day. Try not to have big heavy meals before sleeping and also try to limit your caffeine intake after I would say 10 a.m. to noon.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You don't really wanna have caffeine after that. The research has shown it's gonna make it harder for you to go to sleep at night. So number three is creating a peaceful environment for your sleep is crucial. My friend Shawn Stevenson talks about this in his book, Sleep Smarter, that you wanna create a sleep sanctuary.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You wanna make sure that your bedroom where you sleep is a sanctuary for you to shut off and go to sleep. And that can be hard for some of us as we work from home, we sleep at home, we work, we've got a lot of activities happening in the same place.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It's hard to really shut it off when you're used to picking up your phone in the morning or being on your phone at night, watching TV in bed, or doing all these other things in your sleeping space. But you want to create a sleep sanctuary. You want to create a routine that helps you separate yourself from the other areas of your life
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
like taking a bath it'll help you rest and recover better so what is the routine what is the sanctuary that you're going to create the environment of peaceful restful sleep it's one of the most important things you can do and as an athlete i used to sleep a ton i knew the importance of sleep because your body would be so sore we would take naps we would sleep as much as we could i used to sleep in as long as i could to get that quality sleep as a business leader when i'm traveling
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I know now I'm not 21 anymore. I know the importance of my sleep. Even if I get two or three hours less sleep than I'm used to, it will affect me. I'll need more caffeine. There'll be other things you'll need to supplement.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So it's important to know that if you are living a high-performance life, if you are trying to squeeze the juice out of life, if that's the season of life you're in right now, you've got to make sleep a huge priority for yourself so you have the energy, the focus, and the clarity to move towards your vision. Habit number nine, oh, this is a big one.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It's a big one, because a lot of people don't like to do this, is to take responsibility for yourself, for your actions, and keep yourself accountable. Now, it's easy to be the victim. It's easy to say, make excuses for yourself, and say, well, I didn't want to do this, I wasn't feeling this, or this thing happened, or this circumstance happened.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
but you cannot negotiate your dreams and your goals. You cannot negotiate with your goals through circumstances or excuses. That will make you unhappy. It's up to you to take responsibility for your life, and you have to decide today that you're going to get in shape, that you're gonna start that side hustle or that business, that you're gonna take on a new hobby.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You can start mastering the art of incorporating these habits in a powerful way. And I'm going to share personal stories and give scientific insights about how these practices have shaped my journey and my happiness.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Whatever it may be for you, you've gotta decide, and only you can decide to take that first step, and then, most importantly, be consistent on those steps day after day, week after week, year after year. But the next step that matters just as much is being held accountable for the goals in front of you. That is important. The accountability is so key.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And you need to create a habit of checking in with someone on a daily or weekly basis that can hold you accountable and call you out if you're falling short. An accountability partner could be a friend for you, could be a family member, could be a coworker, Could be a coach that you hire. Could just be someone you pay as an accountability person to check on you daily.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Whatever it is for you, accountability is key. And the effects of accountability are strongest when you and your partner have similar goals so you can grow together with them. It's huge when you guys have that common goal. Just having one accountability partner can do wonders for you. Just one person to hold you accountable, to give you checks and balances.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But you can also consider surrounding yourself with a team, a community of people who inspire you and hold you accountable. I hire lots of coaches. And personally, I try to find the experts in every area of my life, hire them to hold me accountable for what is important to me. Only what is important to me, I have them do.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
If it's not important and it's not part of your vision, it's not part of your overall life plan, then you don't have to do it. But for me, what's important, I hire people, I have accountability in those areas of my life. Fitness, relationships, spirituality, business, mental health. Financial health. I mean, I hire people in every category.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I understand you may not be at a point right now where you can do that, where you can afford that. But find friends, find mentors, find people that can hold each other accountable. And if you want to improve... Your fitness, one of the best things you can do is surround yourself with fitness-minded people.

Habit number 10, learn to cope with tragedy and let go of regret, anger, and resentment. Holding on to our past trauma is one of the most painful things we can do for ourselves.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I am speaking for myself here that I held on to trauma and resentment and anger and frustration forever. 25 years, if not more, in different parts of my life. And that is a recipe for suffering, reaction, stress, painful moments, all these different things.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So, you know, the therapist who's been on who reminded me of this, Guy Winch, talks about, you know, the ruminating of our past wounds and holding on to these past wounds and how to heal the broken heart. We've got that episode that you can dive in more, and so many different therapists have come on and talked about this.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But I try to really look for the positives and what I can learn from these events and feelings and channel those feelings into growth as a person and really how can I serve others who might be going through something similar in that situation. I remember hearing a story from Tony Robbins. He said, you know, When I was a kid, my mom used to beat me.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
She used to pour soap down my mouth because she thought I was lying. She used to do all these things that caused a lot of pain and trauma for me. But I loved my mother because she gave me the capacity, the expanded heart to want to help other people rid themselves from their suffering. So he used the painful moment not as resentment to hold on to,
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
you know, being angry at his mom, but say, you know, I love my mom for this. You know, she didn't know any better in these times. She was doing her best. She was also loving in other ways. But those moments, I'm not going to hold on to them and suffer. I'm going to use them to end suffering for those around me. And I think that's really powerful.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So really think about how you can let go of the emotional traumas. This might take some work for a lot of people. For me, it took a long time to really learn how to do that. It's one of the reasons why I started School of Greatness, because I wanted to interview these experts to teach me. But it's created so much freedom and peace in my life and happiness in the process.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And habit number 11 is to eliminate things that don't make you happy and focus on what does make you happy. So I asked Matthew McConaughey this, and when I interviewed him, I said, you know, what are five things that we should be eliminating in our life? And he mentioned this list of these five things. Number one, we should be eliminating bad people.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Eliminate people that don't promote your growth and that don't bring you joy. We often cling onto these toxic relationships for people because they validate us in the short term, but they're very harmful in the long term. So eliminate those people, or at least distance yourself. Distance yourself and start spending more quality time with people that bring you joy.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Number two to eliminate is bad places. Stop going to places that encourage unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, like bars or fast food restaurants, et cetera. Again, don't go to these places if you know you don't feel good when you're there or afterwards. And if a certain place continually makes you feel bad, do whatever you can to eliminate or distance yourself or go there less.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And I'm gonna break down each habit with practical examples and implementation tips that you can start using today. Now again, the end of 2024 is here. I want you to reflect and ask yourself by the end of this episode, which of these habits do I have in place?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Our environment can really impact our mood in a big way. It's hard to not notice that. So create those environments for yourself that are healthier. Number three, you got to eliminate the comparison to others. Stop comparing yourself to others and eliminate jealousy because what is it, the quote, comparison is the thief of joy.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I think Einstein said that, you know, when we're constantly comparing yourself to yourself of what you think you should be or whatever, it's like always in comparison mode is not going to do anything good for your happiness. Number four, overthinking your failures. Instead of dissecting all your problems, start dissecting all your success, all the things you've done to overcome the challenges.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And ask yourself, how can I replicate my successes rather than how can I stop my failures? And number five to eliminate is instant gratification. This is a big one. Fight the cravings for instant pleasure and results and be okay with delayed gratification.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Knowing that you're going to be doing the work consistently and your future self is going to be grateful for your current self and the consistent effort you're putting in. You're going to reap way bigger rewards in the future if you can delay that gratification. There you have it. These are the 11 healthy, happy habits to increase the overall joy of your life and set you up for a better life.

It's one of the first principles in the School of Greatness is really creating a clear intentional vision. And without a clear vision, you'll end up running in multiple different directions instead of staying focused on what truly matters in your life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
relationships your health and your business and this can lead to your success being delayed a lot longer than it needs to be and so you really want to get clear and intentional and you can have a different vision at every different stage of your life when you're 10 years old or when you're 50 years old but it's important to have a clear vision without that you'll just be kind of wandering around.

And when we're wandering, we feel aimless. And when we feel aimless, we feel like, what's the point? What's the purpose? What's the intention for me being here? And that causes a lot of stress and anxiety when we have those thoughts. So in my life, when I wasn't clear on my vision, I was really running around and stressed out a lot. I was like, what should I be doing? I don't know.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I don't feel good enough. I don't feel worthy. I don't feel like I matter. And those thoughts really don't help me improve the quality of my life. And a question someone had asked me is, what was your life like when you didn't have a clear vision versus when you created one for the school of greatness? And for me, I remember different moments in my life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It was mostly in transition when one goal was finished, when one dream had ended, whether it be, you know, a sports dreams or business ended. It's kind of like the transition period where I was like, well, what do I do next? And it's that discovery phase of the transition where you get to get clear. Start doing the things that you really love.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Do the hobbies, hang out with people you love to spend time with, travel. Do the things you've always wanted to do and do them to the best of your ability. When you do that, you'll start to spark ideas. Things will start to come to you naturally. And that's what I really did in between transitioning before the School of Greatness into the School of Greatness. I was living my life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I was playing sports. I was being active with friends. And that process, I remember going through transition thinking, you know, I wish there was more tools when I was growing up that would help me overcome the different challenges that I would face with my life. I wish there was a school of greatness that could teach me about all these different things.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And one of the biggest things that I've seen for so many people over the last year, as we get closer to the end of the year, is they've struggled with just finding out how to be happy. And I've had so many different people that I've known that said they have some type of mental health condition or disorder. ADHD is on the rise, depression, anxiety, or just overwhelming stress.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And that was the spark in the transition from one business to the next on why I created the School of Greatness. And the mission now is to serve 100 million lives weekly to help them improve the quality of their life. And we do that through a lot of the things that we do in the School of Greatness. But I'm very clear on the vision and on the mission. It's very intentional.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I wake up every day thinking about it. And I act based on vision. Without that vision, I would act based on, well, what am I supposed to do? I'm not sure. I don't feel good about myself. I have no direction. And again, when we have no direction, we're just kind of wandering around in a circle. And that doesn't help us move forward. It doesn't help us grow. So have a clear vision.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I don't care if the vision is for one month or for 20 years. Have something you're working towards that will help increase the happiness and the quality of your life. Habit number two. This is something I learned in sports early on is to have a positive attitude when things go bad. Now,
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
The world is filled with a lot of different negativity, drama, stress, and sometimes it's hard not to fall victim to joining in on the negativity. This is one of the reasons why my father growing up would not let us watch the news. He would not let us watch commercials that talked about a lot of harmful things.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
or the news because he didn't want us to be susceptible to hearing about things that maybe are happening in a micro level that are blown out of proportion that seem like it's happening all over the world, but it's really only happening in a small level. He didn't want us to emphasize on all this negative energy and this negative attitude.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
So he eliminated those thoughts from our mind to support us in the positive. In sports as well, I would also have coaches that, you know, things wouldn't always go our way. And I used to be so negative. I used to be so reactive. When I missed a shot, when I dropped the ball, when I messed up, when something that I did was wrong or was a mistake, I used to beat myself up so much.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Or when we'd lose, I was such a sore loser. I'd have such a bad negative attitude. And our coaches over the years would really teach me, like, that isn't helping you. That isn't supporting you or your teammates around you. But having a positive attitude when things go wrong will lift your teammates up, will lift you up to help you improve for the next play and the next moment.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It's really all about having that positive attitude. Because the negative doesn't usually serve us for anything ever. There are times, absolutely, to speak up and be a stand for when bad things are happening to you or happening to other people or around you. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about that specific person.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
moment in time i'm talking about spending hours of your day thinking about yourself negatively and thinking about the world negatively around you just ruminating on how negative everything is that prevents you from showing up as the best version of yourself and i believe you're robbing yourself and your loved ones and the world of your gifts and who you truly are when you sit in that negative state so when i begin to shift
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
into having a positive attitude, it really helped me in every area of my life. And negative things or things that I don't like happen around me all the time. But it's a practice, even today. And when I'm hit with these adversities or these obstacles, I try to ask myself, how could it possibly serve me in the future?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And every time I hear about this and I tell people, hey, if you could do this just one habit every single day for 30 days and let me know how you feel afterwards. and they actually implement this one habit, everything starts to shift. They're like, oh, my mental health is so much better and I feel more peaceful and joyful and abundant and all these different things.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
Or if it's worth putting so much energy into it around a negative attitude, is it really worth it? Is it helping me in my health? Is it helping me in my joy and my love for others and my love for myself by holding on to this negative energy? It's usually not worth the energy. So why do we do it so frequently?
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
You know, there's this book called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff because it's all small stuff. You know, obviously there's adversity and there's challenges, but when you can have the attitude around it, it really shifts your life and the people around you. So you've got to do the work to develop that awareness, to realize that for yourself. This isn't easy. This took me a long time.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And having a positive attitude is important. in my opinion, one of the most important things to manifesting, to attracting, to feeling better about yourself. But one thing that I've learned from the different guests and the experts on the show in the last few years is that what's most important is getting to the root of what's causing you the stress, the pain, the anxiety.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
the negative feelings that you're having. Because positive affirmations can only get you so far if you're not also doing the deep work on what's really going on, what's underneath the trigger, the anxiety, the fear. Dr. Caroline Leaf has been on the show a couple of times. I really love her message and her expertise.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
She said, it's like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound when you're just trying to have a positive affirmation without actually going to the root cause of what that trigger and negativity is.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
But if you're able to get to the roots of some of the things causing you so much pain and suffering and the negative attitude that you have and then begin working to stay positive and having an abundance mindset, that's when you can really start to create real change and start to see and notice the feelings of positivity, notice the feelings of happiness forever.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
flood into your heart, into your body, into your soul. And that's what this is all about. So habit number three is an important one. It's all about giving back, volunteering your time, helping others, mentoring, coaching, being of service in any way possible that you can. And you might have heard me share this before, but If you're going to be addicted to anything in life, be addicted to service.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
I believe it's, you know, not addicted in the negative sense, but if you're going to be committed to doing something and living an intentional practice, be intentional on the act of serving other people. And in whatever way that works for you, whatever you have to do, do that for you.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
It's been my mission since the beginning of this show, and every single day I aim to show up and give back to you, to people watching, to people listening. my friends and family, my team members, and anyone possible that I can. And it's very important for me. And it also brings me a lot of joy when I can know that something I did caused a positive impact on someone else's life.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
whether it be a piece of content, someone I interviewed, something they said, something I said, a way we put it out there that connected with people, that brings me so much joy. It brings me so much happiness knowing that my life has had meaning on one person's life. And it continues to feed and fuel my fulfillment and my soul every day.

And we are accumulation of our habits.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And that's why I continue to be committed to habit number one, which is the vision and staying true to that vision. And in a New York Times article by Tara Parker Pope, she wrote that several studies suggest that supporting others helps buffer our bodies against the detrimental effects of stress.
The School of Greatness
11 Habits To Transform Your Life In 2025
And a five-year study of 846 people in Detroit found that stressful life events appeared to take a greater toll on people who were less helpful to others, while helping others seemed to erase the detrimental physical effects of stressful experiences. Now for me, that is crazy to think that those who were more self-centered, who weren't focusing outward and trying to help other people,

The School of Greatness
How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpower - The Mindset of Champions
Sure. I'm curious about your mindset. Again, with someone like yourself who's accomplished so much at the highest level in the world of what you do, can you break down a little bit on how you think before entering a big moment in your life, in your sport, or in the business you're building? Is there a process that you think about when you're going to enter the arena of whatever you're working on?
The School of Greatness
How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpower - The Mindset of Champions
Um, is there a mantra, a process? Do you visualize something? Do you, do you release something? Can you just walk through a little bit about that process?

The School of Greatness
How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpower - The Mindset of Champions
And the more people I interview and ask about this who have fame, wealth and success, they talk about, you know, the pressures that come with that. Can you share a little bit about how you were? Did you feel like you were mentally and emotionally prepared?
The School of Greatness
How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpower - The Mindset of Champions
When you became a world icon in your sport and you started to gain popularity, fame, success, money, did you feel you were mentally and emotionally prepared? Or was that a challenge? Or was it a lot of pressure at first?

I have three final questions for you, Rebecca. The first one is called The Three Truths. It's a hypothetical question. So I'd like you to imagine, if you can, a moment, that you get to live as long as you want in this world, but it's your last day, many years away. You get to pick as old as you wanna be, but eventually you gotta turn the lights off for yourself.
