"It creates a war inside of you. It does not build self-worth. It brings down your worth." - Lewis Howes

Lewis opens up about spending decades trapped in a cycle of saying yes to everything - not because he wanted to, but because he feared what people would think if he didn't. The constant people-pleasing wasn't creating connection; it was creating an internal war that drained his energy and destroyed his self-worth. He breaks down the harsh truth: when you're doing things solely for validation or to be liked, you're not protecting your peace - you're giving it away. This isn't about obligations or genuine commitments you've made; it's about those draining requests from people who only want to take, the favors that leave you feeling empty, the yeses you give just to stay in someone's good graces. Lewis challenges the belief that courage means suffering alone, revealing instead that real courage is about having the strength to ask for support and set boundaries without guilt.

Lewis delivers a practical framework for reclaiming your energy and building genuine self-worth. He walks through the questions you need to ask yourself before saying yes: Am I doing this for me or for validation? Am I giving because I want to, or because I need to be liked? He introduces a simple but powerful practice - saying no to just one small thing today, even if it feels terrifying. The insight that "rejection of an opportunity is not a rejection of you" reframes how we think about boundaries entirely. Lewis reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear - it's resistance to fear, mastery of fear. When you stop letting fear of rejection control your decisions, you finally create space for the peace and self-worth you've been searching for.

"Fame is fleeting. But obscurity is forever." - Michael Bublé

Michael Bublé has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, headlined massive tours, and built an empire that spans music, television, and luxury brand partnerships. Yet in this brutally honest conversation, he reveals the insecurity that still haunts him twenty years into his career - and why he deliberately chose to stay in Vancouver with his high school friends instead of moving to LA where the industry could have swallowed him whole. When he admits his wife has more Instagram followers than him and that his kids don't consider him as successful as some 20-year-old with 60 million followers, you hear the vulnerability that most celebrities would never dare share publicly.

What makes this conversation so powerful isn't just Bublé's willingness to expose his doubts, but his hard-earned wisdom about separating who you are from what you do. He breaks down the difference between being successful and being perceived as successful, why he had to make the conscious choice to stay grounded, and how he's learned that the metrics of success keep changing but your character doesn't have to. This is a masterclass in maintaining authenticity when the whole world is trying to change you, told by someone who's managed to stay himself for two decades in an industry that eats people alive.
