Love Lewis! Having an injury and attachment to our perceived selves can be so hard to tear our selves away from. Really interesting to hear about Lewis’ struggle to become a business man. Interesting back story, how far feeling alienated in childhood has pushed him to become a better self.
Awesome, right? Thanks for listening, Megan.
Great you managed to do all that, Lewis. Inspiring 🙂
He’s got a great story, that’s for sure! – Emily, FBM Team
Like, great story. Like man. Like. Like.
Ha, happens to the best of us. – Emily, FBM Team
Hi guys,
This is the perfect video for me at this stage of my life. Thank you very much guys! I needed man-idols for now! This has so much soul.
Soul! I love it.
Hey Abel,

Denny, thank you for coming back and listening. Still getting wonderful feedback about your show. Can’t wait to jam in Austin.
Glad you enjoyed it Denny! 🙂 – Emily
This is my favorite podcast so far!!!! So awesome and inspiring. Coming from the teachings of Rohn, Ziglar, Bruce Lee, this interview really hit me. I think we forget our vision, when we focus too much on the grind. But what’s the grind if we don’t know what it’s for. Thank you for this one inch punch to my soul. It’s time to re evaluate, refocus, and then grind like a mad man!!!
Right on Andronico. Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome Podcast. Motivational ! Inspirational! Would like to listen to more interviews of this caliber. Thank you Abel!
Thank you for listening, Elise!
This was a great interview, thanks for bringing Lewis on. He’s so correct that greatness is not being great only at one thing, but that flows down to everything else in your life. Also, the UCLA coach was John Wooden, who had a pyramid of success.
Nice! Thanks for reminding us of the name. Glad you enjoyed the show – Emily, FBM Team
Abel,
Your killing me man! When I was Lewis Howes age I could look like that by standing on my head! I’m a 66 year old man, very active and very fit. Start showing some real people with real results. Is Paleo only for young people? I want to follow a Paleo lifestyle by not sure it’s for the older generation. I listen to your pod casts often but my confidence is waning.
ciao,

Paleo/Wild Diet/whole-foods lifestyles are definitely for EVERYONE! It’s not about being crazy a Crossfitter, or becoming a Paleo-blogger. Whole-foods give you the best health-bang for your buck 😉 – Emily, FBM Team
Abel,
I’ve been following your podcast for a few months now and I must say, Lewis Howes was an excellent guest. His story is truly inspirational and useful for all athletes and health nuts who work for a living. A macro view of health and its relation to business and life success is a nice change of pace on the show. Keep up the good work.

So glad you enjoyed it Michael! – Emily, FBM Team
Be honest. How much of the weight loss was body hair?
Hahaha might be a bit deceiving I suppose 🙂 – Emily, FBM Team
Abel,
I’ve listened to this podcast three times and I’m watching the video for the first time.
So inspirational! Lewis has definatly inspired me to find my passion, and focus.
The paleo lifestyle has been an amazing life changing event for me and I’m so “on fire” do apply your and Lewis’ advice to other areas of my life.
Great job and I totally enjoy your podcast. It is a part of my everyday life.
Thank you!

Enjoyed listening to this!!! But can I just say that his before picture is rather funny in his underwear? It made me giggle.
What are you talking about? He’s adorable! 🙂
Honestly, even though Lewis is quite attractive in the after photo, I think he looks seriously hot with the daddy bear chub and natural body hair. He really is the complete package and his wife is a lucky lucky lady!
