Now that is the most important thing that you can say to a child." - Kobe Bryant's dadPicture an 11-year-old Kobe Bryant, all knees and elbows with oversized knee pads, playing in Philadelphia's legendary Sonny Hill League where Wilt Chamberlain once dominated. For an entire summer, he didn't score a single point. Not a free throw, not a lucky shot, not even a breakaway layup. Zero. While other kids relied on natural athleticism, Kobe was crying after games, devastated by his failure. But his father's response in that moment of crushing defeat planted the seed for everything that followed - unconditional love that gave him the security to fail and the fire to prove himself anyway.What happened next reveals the mathematics of greatness that most people never calculate. While other kids practiced maybe two hours twice a week, Kobe obsessively trained two to three hours every single day, methodically building a menu of skills - first shooting, then creating shots, then speed. He focused on fundamentals while others coasted on talent. The transformation was staggering: by age 14, just two years later, he wasn't just good - he was the best player in the entire state of Pennsylvania. Kobe breaks down exactly how he engineered this quantum leap and why the simple math of daily obsession beats sporadic talent every time.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Matthew McConaughey: The Oscar Dream He Wrote Down Before He Was Even Acting
Order my newest book Make Money Easy! https://lewishowes.com/moneyyouCheck out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1784"Don't half-ass it." - Matthew McConaughey's FatherPicture this: a 20-year-old college kid sitting on a top bunk bed late at night, using a headlamp to secretly write in his journal after everyone else had gone out to party. That kid was Matthew McConaughey, and what he wrote down that night would seem absolutely insane to anyone else - "win an Oscar for best acting" - except he wasn't even an actor yet. He was just a film school student who was too afraid to even admit out loud that he wanted to perform, yet somehow had the audacity to dream of Hollywood's highest honor in the privacy of his own thoughts.Years later, after actually winning that Oscar, McConaughey discovered that old journal entry and experienced one of those spine-tingling moments that makes you question everything you think you know about dreams and destiny. His reaction says it all: "Are you kidding? Get outta here!" But here's what's really profound - he never looked at those goals again after writing them down, yet somehow "knew what they were" all along. This conversation reveals the mysterious power of turning invisible dreams into physical contracts with yourself, and how his father's simple but devastating advice - "Don't half-ass it" - became the driving force behind everything that followed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Danny Morel REVEALS Why You're Working Twice as Hard for Half the Results
Order my newest book Make Money Easy! https://lewishowes.com/moneyyouCheck out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1783"You have it all by both envisioning and working, but also allowing and receiving. When you are disconnected from your feminine, you are so busy go, go, go, go, go that you have zero time to connect with those that you love." - Danny MorelDanny Morel's world shattered when his mother died. Like so many high achievers, he'd been chasing external validation his entire life - believing that accomplishments, money, and power would finally bring him the love he craved. But standing at his mother's funeral, he realized he'd been living entirely in his head, completely disconnected from his heart. What followed was a profound awakening that changed not just how he approached success, but how he understood the very nature of abundance itself.Danny reveals why our obsession with "masculine" energy - the constant doing, grinding, and pushing - is actually keeping us broke, exhausted, and disconnected from the people we love most. He breaks down the ancient wisdom of balancing both masculine drive with feminine receiving, showing how the most successful people aren't just workers, they're magnetic attractors. When you learn to tap into what Danny calls your "soul power," you stop working twice as hard for half the results and start calling your desires into existence through the sheer force of an open heart.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
