lewishowes.com →Lewis Howes was born March 16, 1983 in Delaware, Ohio. He played Division I college football at Capital University, then briefly in the Arena Football League before a career-ending wrist injury at age 24 left him sleeping on his sister’s couch with no income and no college degree.
The recovery became the origin story. Howes taught himself LinkedIn marketing in the late 2000s, built a business teaching small-business owners to use LinkedIn strategically, sold that business, and launched The School of Greatness podcast in 2013. Over the next decade the podcast accumulated over 1 billion downloads and became one of the most-listened-to personal-development shows in the English-speaking world. Guest list: Tony Robbins, Kobe Bryant, Jordan Peterson, Brené Brown, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah, and hundreds more.
Howes has published four books, raised capital for multiple ventures, and built Greatness Media into a multi-platform brand spanning podcast, YouTube, books, and online courses. He lives in Los Angeles.
