Summary
Have you ever avoided looking at your finances?
If money were a person, how would you describe your relationship with it?
Today, Jay welcomes back his long time friend, Lewis Howes, a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and former professional athlete. He is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top-ranked business and self-development shows in the world, where he interviews some of the most influential leaders in business, wellness, and personal growth.
The conversation highlights key principles for transforming one's financial mindset, including the power of awareness, gratitude, and generosity. Jay and Lewis examine how early experiences with money influence current financial behaviors and emphasize the importance of developing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By recognizing and reshaping these beliefs, financial opportunities can be approached with clarity and confidence.
Lewis emphasizes on the distinction between making money easy and chasing easy money. While many seek quick financial success, they explore the pitfalls of short-term thinking and the long-term benefits of building sustainable wealth through skill development, strategic planning, and emotional resilience. The concept of mapping out financial goals is introduced as a way to create structure and direction in money management.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Identify and Change Your Money Beliefs
How to Develop Awareness Around Your Financial Habits
How to Shift from a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset
How to Invest in Yourself to Build Long-Term Financial Success
How to Create a Clear Financial Plan for Stability and Growth
How to Use Energy, Passion, and Curiosity as Valuable Currency
Financial freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing abundance, and making intentional choices that align with long-term success.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
