Lewis used to wear exhaustion like a badge of honor. He'd grind into the night, believing rest was for the weak and that success demanded sacrifice. But what he discovered shocked him: those sleepless nights weren't building his empire—they were destroying it. He became reactive, gained weight, lost his gratitude, and found himself angry at the world. The hustle culture lie had convinced him that more hours meant more money, when the opposite was true. His breakthrough came when he realized that sleep wasn't stealing time from success—it was the foundation of it. A rested mind creates clarity, better energy, calmer reactions, and the magnetic presence that actually attracts opportunity.

This episode dismantles the myth that sleep is lazy. Lewis reveals how protecting your rest becomes your most underrated wealth strategy, sharing the neuroscience behind why your best business ideas arrive after deep sleep, not during midnight work sessions. He walks through his own nighttime protocol—the sacred one-hour wind-down, the power of setting an adult bedtime, and why dimming the lights signals your brain to shift into restoration mode. If you've been running on fumes thinking you're building something, this conversation will challenge everything you believe about productivity and show you how the most successful people don't outwork everyone—they out-rest them.
