Today, we’re bringing back one of Lewis' favorite interviews from the past with Novak Djokovic.

He is currently ranked as world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals. Djokovic has been No. 1 for a record of over 320 weeks. Lewis felt very inspired this last week as he watched him win his 20th Grand Slam title in Wimbledon and wanted to reflect back on the conversation from 2017. After the interview, we’ve also added a special bonus conversation between Novak, Jay Shetty, and Lewis from last year where they were able to spend some time together playing all different types of sports.

In this episode Lewis and Novak discuss how Novak started playing tennis & persevered through a traumatic childhood, how Novak recovered from his lowest point, how to understand the power of the mind to build a champion mindset, what love means to Novak and why it’s so important for him, and so much more!
