Infidelity, Commitment, and Healing: A Real Conversation with Lewis Howes | E184
About this episode
In Search of Excellence Podcast - with Randall Kaplan
If you’re looking for career advice, mentorship strategies, LinkedIn networking, extreme preparation, and the mindset behind building a world-class podcast and life, this conversation with Lewis Howes is for you. In Part 2, Lewis and Randall go deep on doing the hard things consistently, earning access to mentors through service, and building relationships (in business and in love) with values, gratitude, and intentionality—the kind of principles that create long-term success and fulfillment.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
How Lewis went from sleeping on a couch to becoming “the LinkedIn guy” through daily reps, events, and service-first outreach
A practical framework for earning mentorship (without “Can I pick your brain?” messages)
Why gratitude + generosity are “the gateway to abundance,” and how Lewis builds them into his daily routine
Lewis’s definition of greatness—and how to pursue it with impact, not ego
Relationship wisdom: why “fun first” doesn’t always equal “aligned long-term,” plus a thoughtful conversation on commitment and infidelity
