Today I sit down with my dear friend Lewis Howes to discuss his just released book, The Mask of Masculinity. Lewis is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top 50 podcasts in the world, and the NYT bestselling author of The School of Greatness.
Lewis is a master of making people think introspectively and go beyond their masks to find what really drives them. In today’s episode we discuss how being truly vulnerable changed Lewis’s life, what it means to be a man in a world of toxic masculinity, and how you can learn to take off your masks to find inner peace and follow your authentic vision.
