If You Can't Forgive Yourself, Do This One Thing | Stephan Speaks
My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1115"We live with ourselves. That person can do that one thing and it can be very hurtful, but we may not see them again. But when we make our mistake, we have to live with that. We have to face ourselves in the mirror." - Stephan SpeaksStephan Speaks gets brutally honest about why self-forgiveness feels impossible for most of us. While others can hurt us once and disappear from our lives, our own mistakes follow us everywhere - stacking up in our minds, replaying in quiet moments, creating a prison we can't escape. He reveals how we end up carrying multiple offenses against ourselves while that person who wronged us gets the luxury of just one. But here's where it gets fascinating: Stephan shares a specific letter-writing process that cuts through years of self-punishment, and Lewis actually gets him to commit to using it on something he's been avoiding in his own life.What makes this conversation different is how practical it gets. This isn't about positive thinking or generic self-help mantras. Stephan breaks down exactly why voice memos and texts don't work for deep healing, why you can't skip steps in the process, and how your subconscious sabotages quick-fix attempts at forgiveness. He walks through the psychology behind why handwritten letters access parts of our emotional processing that digital shortcuts simply can't reach. You'll walk away with a clear roadmap for finally releasing the weight you've been carrying.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

The 4 Gut Bacteria That Help You Live Past 100 | Dr. William Li
My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1811"There are 722,000 people who are centenarians living in the world... almost three quarters of a million people that are a hundred. That's a lot more than most people suspect." - Dr. William LiDr. William Li's great uncle didn't just live to 104 - he planned his own 100th birthday party, created the guest list, and hosted the entire celebration himself. This wasn't some frail centenarian barely holding on; this was a man who embodied what Dr. Li has spent years researching: the biological secrets of those who don't just survive to 100, but thrive there. When scientists started studying the gut bacteria of supercentenarians (people living to 114 and beyond), they discovered something extraordinary - four specific bacteria that spike dramatically in those who reach these remarkable ages: Odoribacter, Christensenella, and most fascinating of all, Akkermansia - the same bacteria that might help stage four cancer patients achieve complete remission through immunotherapy.What makes Dr. Li's revelations so powerful isn't just the science - it's how accessible these insights are. Your gut bacteria aren't set in stone; they're a living ecosystem you can influence through the foods you eat and the choices you make daily. When he explains that 70% of your immune system lives in your gut wall, communicating with your bacteria "like college students shouting at each other through a cheap wall in a dorm room," you suddenly understand why what happens in your gut determines not just how long you live, but how vibrantly you live. This conversation bridges the gap between cutting-edge longevity research and practical wisdom you can apply to your life starting today.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

3 Words To Transform Your UNWORTHINESS Into Unstoppable Confidence | Lewis Howes
My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1810"I was creating from a wound. The more I accomplished, the more I succeeded, and I just said, I need to make more to fill this hole of unworthiness." - Lewis HowesI built a multi-million dollar empire while secretly drowning in rage and self-hatred. For years, I masked my pain behind athletic achievements and business wins, believing that another milestone, another million, another accolade would finally make me feel worthy. But twelve years ago, sitting in an emotional intelligence workshop, something cracked open. I realized I'd been living as two different people - the confident entrepreneur the world saw, and the angry, "dumb" little boy I believed myself to be inside. That day, I created what I call a spiritual identity contract: three simple words that would rewire decades of trauma and transform not just my success, but my entire relationship with myself.The contract I'm sharing isn't some motivational poster mantra - it's a daily practice of becoming who you truly are beneath the wounds. From feeling too stupid to read in high school to writing three New York Times bestsellers. From competing to destroy others to building a platform that lifts millions. From pushing away love to attracting my soulmate. I reveal exactly how I turned anger into love, competition into passion, and the belief that I was "dumb" into deep wisdom. This isn't about positive thinking - it's about rewriting the very contract you have with yourself at the soul level.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
