Tony Robbins: No One Is Ready For What's Coming! Why The Next Decade Will Break People!

Steven Bartlett (0:00)

The thing I think about most, especially when I'm on the go, but also when I'm sat here in the Diary Of A CEO studio, is the WiFi and internet that we have to work with. In fact, anytime I'm filming away from the studio, one of the first things I do is when I arrive, I open up an app and do a speed test to see how strong the signal is. And the number of screenshots I've sent to my team about WiFi signals at different locations is actually pretty crazy. It matters that much to me because it's such a competitive advantage to have fast WiFi. Because on any given day, if I'm recording, let's say, hours and hours of footage with a podcast guest, I then often have to have my team send that across to our London team who then do the edit. So fast WiFi and internet is not a nice to have. It is absolutely business mission critical. So when it came to finding the best provider who could supply internet and WiFi to our new LA studio, which I'm setting right now, we looked at every single option. And of all the providers, the one that came back with the steadiest connection, as well as being the cheapest, was today's sponsor, Spectrum Business. Spectrum Business keeps businesses of all sizes connected with fast, reliable internet, advanced WiFi, phone, TV, and mobile services. Millions of business owners already rely on Spectrum to keep their operations connected. So if you want to join them, head to spectrum.com/business to learn more. That's spectrum.com/business.

I'm trying not to cry. I'm just like, I hate suffering. I've suffered myself and so I hate to see anybody suffer. And so this is my mission. This is what I'm made for. And I'm just one guy that I can't do everything, but I can do a lot.

I always try to help people say, how can you turn your worst day into your best day?

Steven Bartlett (1:51)

Can you take us back to the environment that shaped you into the man that you are?

Tony Robbins (1:55)

So I grew up in a tough environment. I had four different fathers. My mom, she drank alcohol and took prescription drugs. We had no money, no food. And then the thing that changed my whole life was a knock on the door on Thanksgiving. There was this tall guy standing there with two bags of groceries and an uncooked frozen turkey in a pan. My dad saw this man. He said, we don't take charity. And he went and slammed the door on the guy. But it became a very useful and distinction for me about how he and I process that day differently, because there's three decisions you make every moment of your life. And the real problem is the story you have. For example, that day, my dad's focus was the fact he not fit his family and he was worthless. However, I took that as stranger's care. And so the story is the belief you've told yourself over and over, because belief is the invisible force that controls everything in your life. And then there's the third decision, what am I going to do? And so what I decided to do is someday I'm going to do this for others and end suffering where I can. And so I'm going to show you how to get clear what you really want, figure out what's been stopping you, put the plan in place and teach you the most important thing that's made me successful.

And I don't think people fully realise the significance of how many of the most influential people on planet Earth you have worked with and continue to work with. What is the pattern that you noticed in those people?

Tony Robbins (3:02)

So I found four things with them and the first thing is...
