What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been following Lewis on IG for several years. His topics resonate with me and are tailored toward those interested in health, self improvement, relationships, and wealth building. I love his interview style and the caliber of guests on his show. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏽👏🏽

Ceci.Argueta · Dec 2024

Lewis Howes is down to earth and such an incredible interviewer with fabulous questions. My husband and I are always seeking ways to learn to be better mind, body and spirit. The School of Greatness covers so much that truly has impacted our life! I also appreciate that people I seek for guidance and value (Dr. Becky, Dr, Ramani, etc) have been on Lewis Howes show! It’s also been wonderful to be introduced to so many more inspiring experts as well. My favorite interview, as of now, is when Jessie Inchauspe (The Glucose Goddess)shared her amazing knowledge about eating & glucose spikes. It was very inspiring and my husband & I instantly implemented her hacks! I give the School of Greatness definitely 5 stars! One thing I wish was different though are the advertising photos and sometimes the phrases that go along with it - it feels misleading because it’s such a fabulous show! I think when sharing the interviews with friends/family they are sometimes skeptical (like is this fake news?) and I explain, no they are fabulous interviews. Lastly, I highly recommend having Karalynne Call or Dr. Josh Redd on your show! Thank you for your show & giving the world these amazing insightful, motivating interviews. I treasure many of them!

Misstnt00023 · Dec 2024

Listen up because I’m about to explain exactly what scheme this guy is running. I’m gonna warn you it’s long but it all comes full circle, TRUST ME. I play a mobile game called The Battle Cats. Many mobile games nowadays have a digital currency that is used within the game for various things, such as new characters/skins/guns etc. Depending on the game, it can be somewhat difficult to obtain without buying it. This is by design to either keep you playing and/or spend money to just buy it. However, many games have come up with an “offer” system where you can earn the digital currency by doing things outside of the game. In the section of the games where you go to buy the digital currency, it will have an “offers” section. These offers consist of many various tasks you can complete, and the entire system that gives you these offers is organized by Unity, which is a game development conglomerate known for making their own mobile games, which are usually pay-to-win/filled with ads. It’s literally called Unity Rewards. Like I said, these offers consist of various things and can range from small to big rewards in whatever mobile game you are playing. For example, you can download some other mobile game and reach a certain level/status in order to receive a reward in the game you actually accepted the offer from. Other examples include quick internet surveys or signing up for a service. Essentially, people will pay Unity to put their mobile game/service/survey in their rewards system in order to get people to engage with their product, and then Unity splits the money with whichever mobile games decide to participate and put these offers in their game. It’s basically a crazy business scheme that allows for the game developers to still make money off players that aren’t actually spending any money, with all of it being middle-manned by Unity. I kid you not, one of the offers I got on Battle Cats was to follow this guy’s podcast. The offer was for 6 of the digital currency (cat food) in exchange for following this podcast. He is paying for follows in such a shady way, it almost feels illegal and definitely warrants action from Apple. I never heard of this guy before clicking the offer, so I just thought this crazy scheme should be brought to the attention of any followers this guy genuinely has.

BMX*Master · Sep 2024

I remember a few years back when Lewis would be pretty selective on who he had on his show. He wanted to make sure the people were genuine, knowledgeable, and had something good to share. At some point though, it seemed like it was all about getting the biggest names, and now at this point it’s sorta devolved into having popular grifters spreading broscience, ‘alphamale’ philosophy, and outright false information.
