Who is Tony Robbins?
Anthony J. Mahavorick, better known by his stage name Tony Robbins, was born on February 29, 1960 in Glendora, California, the United States. He is an American motivational speaker and "life coach" who built a multidimensional corporate empire by spreading the gospel of self-improvement.
Robbins was raised in a working-class family as Anthony J. Mahavorick. He took on his stepfather's last name when he was a child. When he was younger, he realized he had a gift for public speaking and started reading the writings of motivational authors like Dale Carnegie and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Robbins chose not to attend college and instead got a position managing seminars for Jim Rohn, a motivational speaker. He also received training from John Grinder, a linguist and co-discoverer of "modeling," a method for achieving success by precisely replicating the conscious and unconscious actions of a successful individual.
Early in the 1980s, Robbins started hosting his own seminars, which were known as secular revival meetings. Fire walking was a confidence-boosting exercise in Grinder's curriculum called Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Robbins started incorporating the activity into his own courses. He gained a following by writing books and later by making audiobooks, television infomercials, DVDs, and smartphone apps (in a well-known stunt, he led Oprah Winfrey through a fire walk). He served as the host of the brief reality TV program Breakthrough with Tony Robbins in 2010.
Later in his career as a motivational speaker, Tony Robbins began to concentrate more on financial achievement and to target wealthy individuals, business owners, and entrepreneurs in particular. His most well-known general event was an annual six-day convention that drew thousands of attendees and cost hundreds of dollars per seat.
His youtube content is similar to TheBlondeJon's brother "JetSet" (also known as Josh King Madrid), Branden Condy, Iman Gadzhi, Alex Hormozi, Lewis Howes, Dan Pena, Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, Sebastian Ghiorghiu and Tai Lopez.
