In this very special episode with the first male guest in Say Yes to Yourself history, Wendy sits down with Max Lewis, an entrepreneur who sold his propane exchange business for $37 million in 2017. Max shares the exact manifestation practices that took him from writing down an "insane" goal to receiving a check that changed his life.
They explore:
- Why asking yourself empowering questions is more powerful than having all the answers
- How writing down your goal and reading it daily with emotion changes your frequency (and your results)
- Why he cut off anyone (friends, family, even his best friend) who didn't support his vision
This is a conversation about saying yes to what you want without letting price tags stop you, why faith without works is dead, and understanding that the goal isn't about the thing. It's about who you become in the pursuit. Max didn't care about the money. He cared about proving to himself he could overcome the obstacle his mind created.
