In this personal video, Lewis Howes recounts the harrowing experience of his father's near‑fatal car accident, in which a vehicle crashed through the windshield and left his dad in a three‑month coma. The accident struck just as his father was finally reaping the rewards of a 25‑year insurance career—new car, better vacations, larger commissions. When his father awoke, he was emotionally and spiritually diminished, essentially reduced to a child‑like state. The father's fiancée, acting as power of attorney, drained the life‑insurance investments, leaving the family with nothing. Lewis reflects on how this devastation forced him to confront extreme hardship, ultimately fueling his drive to become innovative, courageous, and self‑reliant in his own entrepreneurial journey.
