"I give more every year. I give more of my money to causes that I care about, to my church, to people in need. I give more away and it's one of the greatest gifts." - Billionaire guests on School of Greatness
After 12 and a half years of sitting across from billionaires and millionaires, Lewis discovered something that completely flipped his understanding of wealth. The wealthiest people he's interviewed don't just hoard their money - they give more of it away each year. But here's where it gets deeper: most of us are unconsciously sabotaging our own financial success because we've bought into the toxic belief that rich people are inherently bad. We think that to be morally good, we must stay financially small. Lewis calls this out for what it is - a limiting belief that keeps us stuck and actually prevents us from making the positive impact we truly want to make in the world.
This isn't just feel-good theory; it's a fundamental shift in how you approach money, success, and your own worthiness. Lewis breaks down why your peer group might not celebrate your wins (and why that's okay), how spiritual people can embrace abundance without guilt, and why having more resources actually allows you to serve at a higher level. If you've ever felt guilty about wanting more money or success, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about wealth and goodness.
