  • Great guests, narrow lens

    I have a complicated relationship with The School of Greatness… I really enjoy many of the guests and often appreciate the questions Lewis Howes asks, but I increasingly find him difficult to listen to because he redirects nearly every subject through the lens of his own experience.

    Relating personally can make a conversation more accessible yes, but here it feels excessive. His experience doesn’t just add to the discussion, it repeatedly becomes the standard which he evaluates what the expert ... more

  • 6.5 FREAKIN Minutes of SELF PROMO before the cast even started. UNREAL

    Thanks for Turning me OFF so badly that I saved the rest of the hour and 45 minutes and left to write this review. And that will be the only time you’ll be getting from me from here on out, that’s how ridiculous that was. A waste.

  • Trite garbage for simple minds

    The first episode has a surgeon talking about a psychological issue, the problem is that he may be an expert at surgery, but he’s not at all a psychologist.

    I’d give this show 0 stars if I could, and even though the episode was free, I feel like I’m owed a refund. I will not be listening to anymore more episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Secret Service Agent: How to Get Anyone to Tell You the Truth | Brad Beeler
Q: Can you share a moment when your approach failed due to emotion, and what you learned from it?
There were times with family or personal situations where emotion overwhelmed rational strategy; you must recognize your own emotional state, step back, and refocus on the goal of understanding the other person's perspective before pushing for information.
Secret Service Agent: How to Get Anyone to Tell You the Truth | Brad Beeler
Q: How do you approach a case where you suspect someone did something wrong but you need to get them to talk?
Prime the situation, create a safe environment, and use techniques like showing warmth and avoiding immediate judgment to bring the person into a space where they can share their story.
Secret Service Agent: How to Get Anyone to Tell You the Truth | Brad Beeler
Q: What would you say is the number one secret or communication tip to getting the truth out of anyone?
Be interested more than trying to be interesting; show genuine curiosity and interest in the other person, which puts them at ease and makes them more likely to disclose.
Rebuild Your Identity in 3 Steps and Finally Make Habits Last | Dr. Kim Foster
Q: Why is it important to focus on identity rather than just goals when it comes to motivation and habit formation?
Focusing on identity changes the underlying motivation; goals are mere outcomes, but who you are being in the process—your consistency, resilience, and response to adversity—determines whether you sustain habit changes long-term.
Rebuild Your Identity in 3 Steps and Finally Make Habits Last | Dr. Kim Foster
Q: What's the framework for creating a new identity, and how do you start using it in everyday life?
The framework is three-part: recognize, redesign, and ritualize. First, recognize the current identity and the stories we tell ourselves; then redesign by envisioning who we need to be for the next chapter; finally ritualize by taking small, proof-building actions to cement the new identity.
