I first met Lewis Howes in 2019, the year Perfectly Hidden Depression was published, as I was \xa0a guest on his incredible podcast The School of Greatness. I was flabbergasted to be asked \u2013 listen to their own description of the show! \xa0"Lewis Howes is a New York Times best-selling author, 2x All-American athlete, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur. The School of Greatness shares inspiring interviews from the most successful people on the planet\u2014world-renowned leaders in business, entertainment, sports, science, health, and literature\u2014to inspire YOU to unlock your inner greatness and live your best life."
I\u2019m certainly not one of the most successful people on the planet so how did I get on the show? One of his producers loved the book and asked me on. It was a tremendous experience. But the funny thing.. they were busy building a new studio for Lewis, so our interview took place in his kitchen, sunlight streaming into his breakfast room early in the morning. He didn\u2019t feel well but I guess he knew I\u2019d come all the way from Arkansas to be on \u2013 so he soldiered through. He was also kind enough to be on SW himself, talking about his early sexual abuse as a child and how that had impacted him for years. For all of his success, when I reached out to see if he could be a guest host this month (fully expecting \u201csorry I\u2019m too busy\u201d), he contacted another of his producers, Chris, \xa0who took over. And he offered to provide my interview with Lewis from December of 2019. I was blown away! And then, there were Chris\u2019 words.
"I first\xa0want to say that your interview on the show was actually one that deeply impacted me and how I view mental health so thank you for all the work you do in the world. I hope your upcoming surgery goes great!"
