How to STOP Letting People Walk All Over You (5 Real Strategies)
I'm opening up about a painful truth I learned the hard way: the more you try to please everyone, the less people actually respect you. I'll share a vulnerable childhood memory of literally paying kids five dollars just to hang out with me, and how that wound shaped decades of people-pleasing behavior that drained my energy and fractured my sense of self. Through five powerful strategies, I'll walk you through the exact process I used to stop being a doormat and start commanding real respect. You'll discover why saying no is actually the most loving thing you can do for yourself and others, how silence after stating your decision holds more power than any explanation, and why the people who get frustrated with your new boundaries are exactly the ones you need to distance yourself from. This isn't about becoming cold or aggressive, it's about speaking with kindness and clarity while refusing to sacrifice your peace to keep others comfortable.Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer LifeThe Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life TodayThe Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest LivesThe School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a LegacyIn this episode you will:Reclaim your power by owning your no without guilt or over-explaining why you can't take something on right nowTransform how people treat you by speaking with certainty and dropping the apologetic tone that invites others to walk over youBreak free from the exhausting cycle of justifying every decision and discover why silence after stating your boundary commands more respect than any explanationIdentify the one area where people are crossing your boundaries right now and take immediate action to match your words with decisive follow-throughAudit your inner circle to double down on relationships that lift you up while creating distance from the energy vampires draining your life forceFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1855For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Scott Galloway – greatness.lnk.to/1854SCTony Robbins – greatness.lnk.to/1840SCLewis Howes [SOLO] – greatness.lnk.to/1828SC

Why 63% of Young Men Have Stopped Trying | Scott Galloway
Scott Galloway doesn't hold back about the crisis facing young men today. Four times more likely to die by suicide, three times more likely to be addicted or homeless, 12 times more likely to be incarcerated. While women's ascent has been remarkable and necessary, society stopped asking what happens when an entire generation of men loses access to the traditional pathways that once helped them become providers, protectors, and partners. Scott challenges the comfortable narrative that young men just need to figure it out on their own. He shares raw truth about what actually motivates men to level up, from his own shame at not being able to afford a nurse for his dying mother to watching his students struggle to find any venue to demonstrate excellence beyond a dating app profile. This conversation will shift how you think about manhood, relationships, and what we owe the next generation.Scott’s books:The FourThe Algebra of HappinessPost CoronaAdriftThe Algebra of WealthNotes on Being a ManIn this episode you will:Discover why men benefit four to seven years more from romantic relationships than women do and what this means for building a thriving societyUnderstand the concept of surplus value and how becoming a man means generating more than you absorb economically, emotionally, and relationallyBreak through the myth that professional success alone creates fulfilling relationships and learn the three qualities women actually seek in partnersTransform your approach to relationships by putting away the scorecard and deciding what kind of person you want to be regardless of what others give backMaster the hidden crisis facing young men as big tech monetizes loneliness and sequesters an entire generation from real-world connections and skillsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1854For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Gabor Maté – greatness.lnk.to/1849SCLewis Howes [SOLO] – greatness.lnk.to/1819SCJerry Wise – greatness.lnk.to/1747SC

Why Women Lose Desire Faster in Marriage | Esther Perel
