I
n college, Lewis Howes was
an All-American football player
and decathlete. He once held
the NCAA record for the most
receiving yards in a single game (17
catches for 418 yards). Signing with
the Arena Football League, his professional foot-
ball career ended abruptly when, in his
second game as a pro, he collided with a wall
and sustained a career-ending injury.
Instead of mourning the loss of his professional football
career, Lewis discovered that greatness could come in
a number of ways. He bounced back, drawing from
motivational methods used by his coaches. He also sought
out mentors and reached out to people he admired.
The School of Greatness is the result of that process.
The book is on the New
York Times
Best Sellers
list, and its enormous
success has led to a
podcast, speaking
tours and appearances
on nationally syndi-
cated television and radio shows.
The podcast Lewis hosts is a busi-
ness, leadership and personal devel-
opment show. The episodes feature a
wide range of guests, such as authors,
business leaders, actors, musicians,
artists and nutritionists.
