Trigger Alert: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse, so please listen with care.

Movember is a movement whose focus is to raise concern and awareness about the state of men's health, both medical and mental, in the United States. I myself have seen firsthand how extremely difficult it is for many men to seek help or open up at all about what’s going on with them. So I thought about who I could approach to help achieve Movember’s mission, and one person immediately came to mind. That person was Lewis Howes, and he graciously agreed to be interviewed.

Lewis overcame tremendous obstacles, including a learning disability, bullying and sexual abuse on his way to becoming a media sensation and a New York Times bestselling author. His podcast, The School of Greatness, is rated in the top 100 of all podcasts, garnering 250 million downloads in seven short years. His books, the first also entitled The School of Greatness, and his second, The Masks of Masculinity, have reached millions of readers as well. All while he followed his own path to working through the very experiences that had led him to be angry and feel victimized at every turn for years. He's here on SelfWork to talk about those experiences, and the necessary but frightening choices he made to open up about what had happened, allow others to truly see him, and to achieve a much deeper way of living.

In part one of this two-part episode, Lewis Howes interviews Brendon on his entire career path as an influencer. Brendon shares tactical advice on how you can become an influencer while enjoying the entire journey starting today.

“The number one mistake I see influencers doing is this: they’re waiting for the day they can finally be fulfilled from their efforts. 'Oh, when I get to a million followers or a million dollars, then I can like myself, feel good about myself, enjoy the day, and rest peacefully…' To that, I say: If you can’t teach yourself to rest peacefully now, you’re in trouble when the mayhem really hits.” -Brendon Burchard

In this episode of Marketing & Influence, Lewis Howes teaches us the power of creating your own personal advisory board, discusses business strategy, and how to build out intellectual property before choosing what medium to promote yourself on.

“Instead of just starting a brand or a business, start by creating a framework. When you create a framework around a simple concept, it becomes your intellectual property and makes your business that much more valuable.” -Lewis Howes

Do you have fears and insecurities that hold you back from the life you envision? No? OK, well we'll see you next week... But really: this topic gets to the heart of why so many real estate investors quit, fail, or never even get started at all.

Today's guest, Lewis Howes, has been studying these concepts for the past 13 years as host of the hit podcast School of Greatness. It all started as an effort to climb out of a major low point in Lewis' life, when he was broke and sleeping on his sister's couch... having crashed out of a brief arena football career.

In this episode, you'll learn how Lewis learned to hack his self-limiting beliefs by systematically putting himself in situations (Toastmasters, salsa dancing, public speaking) that utterly terrified him. And he shares some practical exercises you can do to achieve greater confidence and self-mastery.

Plus -- as a LinkedIn expert with a far-reaching network of connections, Lewis also opens up about how to effectively network on social media and elsewhere.

Don't miss this weekend episode of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, and give Lewis a shout on social media you take him up on his challenge to write a mission statement for your life!
