The Distillation of Tony Robbins
The Distillery is a once a month deep dive breakdown extracting the timeless wisdom from someone that has had a meaningful impact on my life and from whom I've learned a great deal. The Distillery will be uncovering their philosophies, thinking processes, key lessons, and frameworks they’ve used to achieve high levels of mastery so others can learn from their wisdom. Tony Robbins is a force of nature. A larger than life personality who creates positive change in other people’s lives by empowering them to go after the life you deserve. It’s probably why Tony and his work have been so influential for me over the years. I’m trying to learn from the brightest minds and deconstruct their wisdom and share it with others to empower you to become better versions of yourself. I first read Tony’s book Awaken The Giant Within 10+ years ago and I remember finishing and saying, “WOW, that book just changed my life.” I reread it two months ago and when I finished I said, “WOW, that book just changed my life.” It’s filled with inspiration, action steps, questions to spark your inner work and illuminating insights into the fact that we’re all capable of more. This Distillation is a collection of some of the most impactful lessons I’ve learned from Tony.
