there are seasons of History there’s seasons of nature there’s seasons of your life and there’s seasons of history and if you live long enough 80 years or more you’re probably going to live all four seasons Good Times create weak people weak people create bad times bad times create strong people strong people create great times that’s where we’re heading every person I meet is superior to me I know that every person in this room has life experience I don’t have so you’re going to be superior to me to something I also know I’m superior to every person I meet and some context cuz I spent 46 years of my life obsessed constantly improving all over the Earth working with the greatest smartest people on Earth and I have to be an idiot not to learn from them therefore we’re equal therefore I treat people that way and I think if you can have that kind of respect that means we could agree to disagree we can have a different point of view this is part two of my conversation with none other than Tony Robbins and during this segment we’re going to be going into a Q&A he had with my 360
[00:01:00] audience really coaching them on how to do big and bold missions on the planet how to take moonshots and how to think from a Purpose Driven point of view take a listen a lot of great coaching here I hope you enjoy it as much as I did let’s jump in in the last three years I mean the uh level of uh generational trauma that this really messed up and I believe very much orchestrated pandemic has created um so many people thank you so many people that I used to admire leaders and stuff I’ve lost a lot of faith in and then I’ve seen a lot of real Warriors so you take someone like Elon Musk who uh po tweets arrest fouchy which I think they should um who do you admire who do you look up to that you could talk about versus you know at the level of influence you have it needs cuz there’s
[00:02:00] I believe whoever profits from the crime is guilty of it so you said good people in the media and I think that’s a nice way of you know acknowledging a lot of people and there are you know Stalin called I believe the media the useful idiots and there’s a lot of them that know exactly what they’re doing pharmaceutical companies that are profiting off the death of people and you know how where’s your limit of what you will say you I’m not going to go there versus these people are [ ] up they’re evil this [ ] needs to stop well that’s a very interesting question to start with I was thinking you know feeding the world no and that’s that’s good I think um I think you all have to I I don’t take a political stand and I worked with Clinton I remember I had it this is the way the world used to be I worked with President Clinton it’s by the way he didn’t have an email account I introduced him to AOL and we started getting email crazy pres United States didn’t have it that show show what the world has changed uh you have more power in your pocket than he had as president back then and then I went across the aisle on the same day and had a
[00:03:01] conversation with grid and I was helping both of them because I’m an independent I voted I voted on both sides of the aisle I’m not I don’t believe in Dogma I believe in the right people and I also believe that everybody wants the same thing right we all want the same [Music] thing the only thing we disagree about is the how right everybody wants safety for their children some people think you should have guns do it some people should have no guns to do it right but but we all want safety for our kids and for each other and we lose track of what’s there when start to demonize and uh I had the privilege of of interviewing Mr gorbachov years and years ago and I’m answer your question in roundabout way but I think the story will help just for a second if I may and then I’ll ask your question very directly as well um I got a call from Bush senior this is not George W but his dad and he was President the United States and I’d met him a couple times and I get this phone call and I was I don’t know 30 31 years old and he says Tony he said uh we’re having this meeting the wall had just come down and he said uh we’re going to get together Mr meton from France Maggie Thatcher
[00:04:02] from the UK myself Mr gorbachov and a hundred other people to say where’s the world go now that the the walls come down you know what’s now the communism is you know on the Run what can we make happen and he said we’ve picked people from different walks of life we think are brilliant and you’ve been selected as one of those people and I was like completely blown away and then I said well I said I’m I’m you know will I do it of course I’ll do it I’m happy to come with the privilege and then he said I was looking at your calendar are you doing an event in New York right he told me the dates and I said yes and he goes well do you have a plane and I said yeah I had a charter plane in those days I didn’t own it and he said well Mr corbach off’s in New York as well how would you like to fly him to the event since you both come come from New York I said let me pause for 2 seconds see whether I want to do that or not I’m a history buff I I want to know what changes history so I said absolutely I said um I I said how many people does he have so I discovered I had a charter a Gulf Stream in those days which was a big investment but I was like it’ll be worth it and I said one request can you
[00:05:00] ask Mr gorbachov could I ask him three questions on camera for these kids who I sponsored their college education to have a you know a world leader talk to them i’ be pretty amazing no problem so I get to the day and four limousines pull off and gorby comes out with his big scar and he walks up and he does not look happy and I got the camera guy right there for the three quick questions he shakes my hand and just I said we’re going to do the enemy goes yet yet and I was like what’s and he just got on the plane and so I turn to his guys and he goes he’s really sorry but he has a massive migraine headache and he’s not going to do the video and I’m like holy [ ] in those days 50 grand for a charter was a lot of money for me I was like holy crap I’m I’m going on this plane then I get on the plane it’s like I want to know when into the cold war and he closes his eyes I’m like holy [ ] this whole thing is not working well so I started talking to his wife cuz I figured if I talk to her enough she’ll say something every man wants to contradict his wife at some point it’ll show up so I started asking about the change
[00:06:00] from Soviet Union to Russia and how they were treating Mr gorbachov and sure enough he said something and his eyes popped open you know and The Interpreter starts telling me what he’s saying and I said well Mr G so great to be able to talk to you I said uh I know you’re not feeling well I just have one question before you close your eyes I want to know what ended the Cold War it’s the most important change in the last century where two countries could touch a button and destroy the whole planet and you one of the people that ended it I like know what and he looked at me and then started talking in this sing songy town when someone has said told you something or told many people the same thing sometimes they get a little sing song you know they’ve told it before and what he said was it was the end of demonization so I feel just as strongly about some things you do but demonization is not the answer in my opinion yeah and so and you just demonized everybody I’m not making you wrong I’m just saying we all do it I’ve done it so we all do it but he said it was the end of demonization what does that mean he goes well you know Mr
[00:07:00] or Mr Reagan was saying that we’re the evil empire and you know you know I was telling you know no capitalism is evil and I said well I really appreciate the answer sir but I said I want to know the moment history changes in a moment there’s a moment of decision that changes anybody’s life I want to know what the moment was that the the Cold War ended and he paused for a long time he said no one’s ever asked me that The Interpreter tells me because he says it I said well I want the answer I said only three more hours on the plane if you don’t give it to me right and I got him laughing a little bit and he closed his eyes for a little bit he thought for a little he was really thoughtful and then he said I’ll never forget he started first he started hitting his leg like this and then I realized he’s laughing like out of control like he had too much vodka or something right he was like he goes I will tell you he spoke in I will tell you he says in English and then he started talking in Russian really fast and the guy interpreted he said rean and I were together we’re having this argument and he was lecturing me on the evils of communism and I said to him you are not my teacher
[00:08:02] and I am not your student and you will not speak to me this way and I told him how evil capitalism was and he said in the middle of this argument he said it got so mad he said I felt my face burning I was so angry and he said all of a sudden Mr Reagan stood up and said this is not working he took two steps away and went back and went let’s start fresh shall we my name’s Ron are you male right and he said you had to love the guy he goes this is a man I could do business with and he said and then he said that Reagan did something that Reagan would never normally do cuz he demonized he brought a group of I think it was 50 American children over and let gorbachov take them around the Soviet Union which then became Russia and he said that touched my heart now I asked Reagan years later the moment with kov war ended he gave me a similar situation but not the same moment they were in rovic and they were negotiating over the first destruction of long-range nuclear weapons and he
[00:09:01] said he was talking to gorbachov and it was getting more and more heated and as you described it he said gorbachov you knew it was mad cuz his whole face get his top of his head gets red including that Scar and he said he was getting more and more angry and Reagan all of a sudden said why don’t we go on a walk and I guess gorbachov’s response was is he crazy something like that through his interpreter and he goes no let’s just go on a walk goes it’s freezing up let’s go on a walk think of the genius of this they’re sitting like this fighting and all of a sudden they get up put on their coats that’s changing their whole state all your decisions are controlled by your state your mental emotional state you want to perform at a different level you need a different state you’re in a lousy State you’re going to snap at people over nothing right so they Chang State and now they’re walking outside in the freezing cold that’ll change your state side by side and on that walk they made the first agreements to destroy long-range nuclear weapons in the history of the world so moments can change but it doesn’t come in my experience from demonization even if you
[00:10:01] feel something’s unjust because I think a lot of things you’re saying have validity to them potentially in terms of the coverups and the Mis information and miscommunication and we’ve certainly seen that with Twitter thanks to Elon so I’m grateful answer your question who do I respect I respect a lot of people I respect people on both sides of the a I voted on both sides of the AIS but I’d say right now I think Dan santis because I live in Florida I’ve seen we only had two weeks of shut down in the whole state we don’t wear masks we our numbers we’re supposed to have the most deaths we have the most old people we don’t we’re better than New York or California in our ratios um you know he made the Monon antibodies available people so there was early solutions that were available he’s taken on tough decisions he’s not he’s not no one’s going to be the same with all your political views but I think he’s a leader to me a politician is someone who looks to see what everybody says and then says what they want to say a leader does what’s right and if they’re really effective people they’ll become popular maybe they won’t but they’ll we want to make those decisions so he’d be one person that I can tell you right now but there are many people in the private sector many
[00:11:00] people I respect from every Walk of Life I my view is this every person I meet is superior to me and I don’t I’m not phony and I’m not inferior I know that every person in this room has life experience I don’t have so you’re going to be superior to me to something I don’t know if sing better than I do or dance I can’t do either one of those things or it’s something you do with math I or something in your I don’t know but I’m sure there’s something you might be better at being depressed than I am too that’s possible too I don’t want that people are better at something so I because everyone is superior to me because they different life experience I respect everybody I also know I’m superior to every person I meet in some context CU I spent 46 years of my life obsessed constantly improving all over the Earth working with the greatest smartest people on Earth and I have to be an idiot not to learn from them so it’s not that I’m so smart it’s just I’ve had a unique life experience and so in my area I’m superior therefore we’re equal therefore I treat people that way and I think if you can have that kind of respect that means we could agree to disagree agre we can have a different
[00:12:00] point of view I have lots of friends that have very different let’s say political views than I may have but we still get along it’s not like where we are today you can’t talk to somebody or you feel unsafe if someone has a different point of view that is the most insane and stupid thing I’ve ever heard in my life and our kids are being taught that [ __ ] right so I’m not here to make a political statement but the only way we get better is we respect each other we find some Middle Ground that’s all right Joe thank you so much let’s go to Carla on mic number three how can we help these young adults in the fall of 2020 I was called into action to work with highly anxious students who entered College under the covid restrictions so I’ve had for a couple of years I did that work and I had my fingers on their anxiety depression and when I and I tell them all about Tony Robbins you’ve done so much for me they don’t believe it’ll help their depression makes them think that even if they’re very self-aware nothing will help and I’ve made baby
[00:13:02] steps I’ve gotten kids out of the crisis I kept kids in college that really were going on to do great things that required a college education but I’m worried about them and I have three in college personally wow well you’re describing the pattern of learned helplessness aren’t you yeah yeah right learned helplessness is very simple it’s when your brain starts to believe that a problem is permanent and you believe it’s pervasive because you have this problem in your relationship your whole life’s over if you have this problem in your business your whole life’s over it’s not true but when you believe a problem is permanent and pervasive a belief is a feeling of absolute certainty we talked about it earlier you can be certain about your problem right and then if you add to that it’s personal those three PS it’s it’s it’s it’s a permanent situation it’s going to affect your whole life and it’s personal when you start believing those three things you don’t change and that’s what these kids have been hypnotized into believing and the reason is because we as a generation have raised them
[00:14:01] differently every generation when I mention to you you know going to see President Clinton on the same day seeing gingr on that day by the way I saw a book that I highly recommend you all get it was a book that both of these leaders had on their desk it was called Generations my Strauss and how it’s a large book it explains how in 560 years at that point of anglo-american History how we raise our children in reaction to how we’re raised maybe you and I individually aren’t the same but as a culture we do and why that makes history have these repeating Seasons so to speak and so I think I think it’s really important to understand that you know kids today have been so weakened by parents that have been overprotective so so here here’s here’s a way of thinking about it that hopefully will give us all pause to be able to have a little more excitement about the future especially if you’re worried about kids if you look at human beings all of our progress comes cuz we learn three skills elon’s
[00:15:00] unbelievable at this you’re incredible at this anybody in this room is good at anything you’re good at three skills skill one is you’re good at pattern recognition in something when you can recognize patterns you’re no longer in chaos you’re no longer in fear you start to see there’s a reason this is occurring it isn’t random and therefore I can anticipate think about it why do children always be an adult in playing some video games you get a video game they always win why do they win cuz they’re younger cuz they’re smarter cuz they’re faster no cuz they played this game before they know the first bad guy’s here the next bad guy’s here so they tell you go first you’re dead in 3 seconds they go and hour later you get your second turn who knows what I’m talking about here right so it’s not that they’re smarter it’s they know the pattern and when you know the pattern you can anticipate anticipation is the ultimate advantage in business and in life leaders anticipate losers react so when you can recognize patterns I’m good at that with human behavior and emotion and psychology I’m also good at in business at this point it’s why I’ve got the company’s IDE do you can get good at
[00:16:01] investing anything but when you’re really good at recognizing patterns then the second skill is utilizing those patterns and we have patterns within oursel you’re not angry all the time you’re not sad all the time these kids aren’t angry all the time or sad all the time they get triggered they call it triggered is the biggest [ __ ] word it was designed for people having phobic responses now we use it when people are uncomfortable we literally infected our culture with language that makes people debilitated it’s absurd so the point of the matter though is there’s a pattern you can re recognize what the pattern is now when you really get good when you’re Elon when you’re the people in this room you probably become a pattern Creator now you’re masterful in what you do now you can make anything happen so and that’s what a moonshots about right it’s like recognizing a pattern finding a way to utilize what’s there to solve it and then creating some new patterns that can make it all work and so if you look at that and you say okay so what do I want my kids to have in the future I want them to know these skills cuz I
[00:17:00] don’t know the real number you read the same studies I do 40 50% of jobs are going to be gone in 5 to 15 years depend on Whose crap you read it’ll be replaced by robots it’ll be replaced by algorithms it’ll be replaced by AIS so what’s going to give them Security in their future the ability to recognize patterns is the ability to learn being to utilize them makes you effective the ability to create them makes you masterful you play music you usually play somebody else’s music first you recognize the pattern you learn to use it then after enough time you’ve played enough you can create your own music that’s where we start to become creators and not just people managing our lives so what made Humanity transform from you know hunter gatherers that were worried about survival all the time to communities only one recognition of a pattern the pattern of Seasons think of how profound that was for Humanity before that you could plant but it didn’t work most of the time people couldn’t forgot why because if you do the right thing at the wrong time you’re screwed it’s not enough to do the right thing you got to understand the timing so once
[00:18:01] we understood oh if you plant in the winter you’re screwed there’s only one time plant in the spring take care of through the summer reap in the fall save some of it so you do well in Winter it allowed us to build communities and nation states we’re here because of that so then think about this there’s a pattern in your own seasons of your life imagine 0 to 21 19 2021 is your Springtime Everything grows in Spring you can be an idiot in grow in Spring if you’re in business in Spring and you make money you think you’re a genius [ __ ] you’re just in a great economy a rising Tides lifts all boats if you’re halfway smart you do well but in your life 0 to 21 you pretty much looked out for now some of us had to work at seven or eight years old but most people have a time which people are taking care of you to a certain extent and you’re being told what to believe those first 20 years 19 2021 then you come of age and you decide to test it now you’re in your own summertime now you are the soul of society aren’t you 21 22 to 42 roughly
[00:19:02] you’re the person to be literally is the soldier or the general you’re the person there that’s starting the businesses or working for the people starting those businesses you’re growing you’re learning and you’re going to test everything when you’re under 20 you think you’re Invincible you’re going to be president United States you’re going to have $10 billion and 10 relationships and you can’t even under one and you don’t have enough money to pay for [ __ ] right you discover you’re not Invincible you find out relationships are more complex right so 20 2 to 42 is this testing what do I believe what’s really true and if you work hard during that time you develop tremendous skill and insights which allows you to move into the reaping time of fall which is usually 43 different for everybody right but 43 to 63 roughly that 20year period should be the greatest time of your life if you worked hard in the spring and you you took care of things in the summer otherwise you’re going to be weeping in the fall not reaping in the fall right so in that time is that’s where you are in power and most of you in this room who in this room is in that stage of
[00:20:00] life I’m curious 43 to 63 look around the room it’s this whole freaking room practically who’s in the 22 to 42 range in this room okay anybody under 22 in this room right fantastic so it’s and by the way some people are early right not everybody’s the same I’m giving you generalizations for Seasons just like Seasons you don’t go from Winter straight to or I should say from fall straight to Spring right you got to you got to go through the seasons and the order some Winters are hard some are easy same thing true of these stages of life so 43 to 63 I look at that as like that’s the Harvest Time that’s where you really come into yourself then you’re no longer trying to prove yourself to anybody well you know who the hell you are if you’ve done your work 64 to 84 to 120 that’s your that’s the winter that’s elderhood that’s where you get to be the leader that’s where you get to be the mentor of life excuse me we’ve been talking about you know 64 to 844 is sort of I just said 120 I I missed that but you did miss that we have to for you didn’t hear it what the hell’s wrong with
[00:21:03] you when Peter and I when Peter and I went and we spoke at the Vatican together and Peter had this session it was a brilliant session he did on Ag and he asked this group of people they’re all regenerative doctors how many of you are live to be 120 or more and like I don’t know what a quarter a third Max not even a third a quarter Max raise your hand and he was crestf falling I said Peter it’s cuz you’re asking about age not about quality of life like if you could 120 have you know the Vitality of 35 or 40 it’s a different thing but the point is if you have a long enough lifespan which we all should have now and David’s a good friend of ours and you know you got to hear him today he’s some of the Cutting Edge in that area and so many other people that’s a different time right you now know who you are and it can be the most happy time of your entire life if you took care of your health and you’re there so let me give you one last one and you understand why I’m bringing this up there are seasons of History the seasons of nature there’s seasons of your life
[00:22:00] and there’s seasons of history and if you live long enough 80 years or more you’re probably going to live all four seasons they used to laugh 100 years if you study a thousand years of Roman history you’ll see this happen like clockwork it used to be 25 years Cycles now it’s 20 year cycles and what happens the same Cycles over and over again so I’ll give you an example let’s take simple example let’s say you were born in 1910 and you’ll see why I’m bringing this up about the kids in 1910 if you were born then and you start to come of age think about this 1910 to 1920 21 22 23 guess what we win World War I there’s this great celebration all this new technology radio and television oh my God airplanes and cars and that generation that was growing up in that environment they were known as Flappers they were like Millennials and Z’s they weren’t respected by older Generations they seemed irresponsible they seemed unbelievably weak and they were they were incredibly weak and every made fun of them and they didn’t give a damn but
[00:23:02] what was interesting was when that 1910 person turns 19 it’s what year calculators are available 1929 so right when you’re going to get your car and go party and all those things what do they get their face on the biggest depression in history and guess what people are jumping out of buildings if you’re in the midwest you got the bus bowl people are standing in line for bread that’s what they entered at the stage of Life they thought they’re going to celebrate they were growing up in a protected environment and they entered a winter and by the way it wasn’t over cuz after 10 years they make it to 29 years old it’s 1939 well guess what their reward is for making through 10 years of depression World War II now none of us in this room are old enough to remember it but those who are Li will tell you we weren’t going to win that war it didn’t look like we’re winning the stock market crashed Hitler was Blitz creaking taken down countries in days and weeks London
[00:24:01] was being bombed it looked like the end of the world not the [ __ ] we have now that we make up the end of the world so we can somehow I know virtue signal that we’re on top of things it was a really a scary time but this generation of flappers these weak ass kids responded CU they had to necessity is the mother of invention and they got unbelievably strong and they won the war and they came back the heroes and there’s still no in American culture as the greatest or the great generation aren’t they why cuz they went through the prime of life in Winter now some people go through winter as a child and they’re protected some people do it through that 22 to 42 some 42 some the older stage of life but we’re in Winter right now by the way here’s the Good News by the way what happened after the war what finishes winter what always follows spring what follows the horrible day the horrible night the beautiful day so what happens there’s this Springtime we veterans get jobs we open up the
[00:25:00] community Everything Changes there is an optimism from 1945 roughly 46 till about 1963 about 18 years until jnf Kennedy gets killed then we go through a really intense summer of internal conflict Martin Luther King is killed Robert Kennedy is killed older young people are telling older people screw you I don’t think you’re a hero you’re not fair to women or black or white and we have an internal Revolution you can see this again and again in his history there’s a great book by the same guys who wrote Generations called the fourth turning I’d highly recommend it to all of you if you want to understand what’s really happening right now if you want to recognize the pattern it’ll show you you’ll be reading a passage and then you’ll realize it was written in the 1800s in the 1600s these Cycles are consistent so we’re in Winter right now by the way what happened you had the springtime then you had the summer think about the’ 60s and 70s were they different than the late 40s and 50s completely different mindset if you ask students in college at that time they
[00:26:00] did this they’ve done this question for 60 years now so in the’ 60s and 70s they said what do you need most in your mind to have a great quality of life pragmatic knowledge to make a great income or a philosophy of life that makes you happy 60s and 70s which one do you think 82% said philosophy of Life 60s and 70s it wasn’t the money somebody you clearly weren’t there you’re still drugged from that time you don’t know what’s going on but it what happen were the ’ 80s and ’90s early 2000s any like the’ 60s and 70s completely different mood total shift and by the way the ex generation of those your ex generation the Baby Boomers were out doing their mission having time making love protesting the war they had their view of Life they didn’t take much good care of their kids they weren’t paying attention their kids became pragmatic they learned to raise themselves they learned to turn on the TV they created a Next Generation they were raised differently the generation that were under taken care of became the
[00:27:01] people that turned around and changed how we raise babies today and adults today they’re the ones that created Baby on Board think about it the movies about children in the 60s and 70s were exorcists in Rosemary’s Baby and in the 80s it was Three Men and a Baby Baby on Board and babies or everything helicopter parents calling the teacher and saying my student deserves a better score than that a better grade than that I couldn’t even imagine that [ __ ] in my generation but that’s what they’ve done so that generation answer your question ma’am while I know you’re fearful I’m not fearful they are going we’re halfway through winter if you study history no one knows exactly you probably got another eight years of this that does not mean every day is a bad day it just means there’ll be more negativity reported than positivity the mood is shifted people all exaggerate the problem instead of the solution so you have to be your own person instead of letting Society lead you and you’re not going to have those challenges but during this time period this is a beautiful time because winter makes
[00:28:00] people stronger here’s the history of the world in four sentences give it to you really easy Good Times create weak people you got a whole generation of people that had everything at their fingertips they haven’t not paid for it they haven’t not do anything for it there are 7 million American men from 18 to 38 years old that live at home still and are not looking for a job they get Uber Eats and they play video games 7 million that’s only possible in a culture that has had such abundance and no real war that they’ve had to be a part of So Good Times create weak people weak people create bad times bad times create strong people strong people create great times that’s where we’re heading that’s where these children are going to have to answer your question right hey everybody this is Peter a quick break from the episode you know I’m a firm believer that science and technology and how entrepreneurs can change the world is the only real news out there worth consuming I don’t watch the crisis News
[00:29:00] Network I call CNN or Fox and hear every devastating piece of news on the planet I spend my time training my neural net the way I see the World by looking at the incredible breakthroughs in science and technology how entrepreneurs are solving the world’s Grand challenges what the breakthroughs are in longevity how exponential Technologies are Transforming Our World so twice a week I put out a Blog one blog is looking at the future of longevity age reversal biotech increasing your health span the other blog looks at exponential Technologies AI 3D printing synthetic biology AR VR blockchain these Technologies are transforming what you as an entrepreneur can do if this is the kind of news you want to learn about and shape your neural Nets with go to demand.com back/ blog and learn more now back to the episode amazing want you go to just a couple questions uh the launch time is now 7:38 you can tell what I
[00:30:01] care about here uh shut me up uh I want to go to zoom to Balin if we would Zoom Balin where are you on the planet and what is your question for Tony hi there can you hear me yes we can hear you but I can’t see yeah name is Bal I’m from Montreal Canada thank you so much for this opportunity Tony you’re a huge inspiration to me and uh this one is sort of directed to you um so you talk a about changing uh your identity and change your life which I’m all on board for but like how do you navigate rewriting yourself when and or changing your identity or establishing a new moonshot when so much of what you’ve done in life may say might say otherwise as I’m I’m sure a lot of other people at this conference especially have been inspired by a lot of the ideas we’ve heard here and want to go apply those later on um in in life and uh so how do you what what sort of strategies or tools might you recommend for for us to kind of carry those ideas and uh do something that might be outside of our
[00:31:00] our wheelhouse so speak if you only had like a 5-day program where people could go to well I don’t think I I want to clarify your question if I may you say it’s not give me an example that’s specific if you don’t mind so I can I can address it specifically instead of generally you’re saying you want to do a moonshot that’s inconsistent with your past is that what I heard I’m not trying to understand yeah well I mean like so much of what I’ve done has really been I’m I’m aerospace engineer by trade and um so much of what I’ve done in life has been based my career on furthering space propulsion I’ve been really passionate about that but I’ve been thinking a lot about you know maybe the impact I could have um with other Technologies like AI Quantum technology especially and I’m wondering if you know like like if I should do that and you know are those are like and because I’m equally passionate about technology in general and like what I’ve been thinking a lot about what are what is the greatest impact I could possibly have B do you remember do you remember what imod said
[00:32:00] was the single most important attribute for the AI uh partners and programmers he was bringing on satellite imagery I think he was talking about what was the number one thing that he was looking for passion this is a brand new field that is just started and if your passion is to go and do that you can pick it up and learn it and catch up very quickly but can I you may I give you some coaching okay yeah absolutely that’s what I’m here for you’re you’re you’re not you’re in a state of uncertainty so I wouldn’t do anything out of this state you’ll there’s no way you’ll follow through you you need to go gather more experience you need to go where get around where it’s better and have something hit you that is specific and go for it cuz right now you’re asking a generalized question and you’re asking him from place of uncertainty it’s like this is what I know I don’t really know this so this is exactly what I talked about earlier and it’s state of uncertainty you don’t know the how you don’t even know the what yet so the
[00:33:01] answer to your question is no one can answer that question until you get around something that you are truly passionate about and what I would do is I would start to put myself in these environments with people of this nature and find something that grabbed me then when the thing grabs you now you turn that something very measurable and specific and I noticed you guys use 10 years as your goals most of mine are 10 year goals too and then I try to beat them but I measure it each year uh Martin rothblat who’s a mutual friend of ours both of ours who’s a genius who’s had so many breakthroughs and medicine and satellite and everything else serious FM and so forth her whole thing is okay chunk it down into one year modules of that but you’re missing right now you don’t know the what and why yet you just know there’s an industry that’s possible and it’s different than what you’re doing so I admire you that your willingness because most people won’t step into the uncertain so I want to know I respect you for that you’re like I’m not really sure and so you’re wanting certainty you can’t have certainty till you find what it is so go get your ass in the environment with enough people and let some hit you and then you won’t need anybody’s coaching
[00:34:00] and you can certainly get refinement of your coaching but you’ll go this is it and then you can saying who else would join you on that Journey who else shares your vision in that area and then set your specifics and then go crush it but I think right now you’re trying to make the decision before you have enough experience of what’s going to make you excited I think you’re passionate about technology as a whole but that kind of generalization won’t get you there it’s the specificity they’ll get you there so be kind to yourself and get yourself you know while you’re doing what you’re doing go put yourself in these environments you know you you got a network here of people and you’ll figure something will grab you and then you’ll do it and the only other question I’d say too is it’s wonderful to ask the question what can I do will have the most impact but I think you also have to ask yourself what do I want to do you know because a lot of times there things you do with impact and you’ll run out of gas because it’s just not fulfilling enough you got to find out what’s fulfilling the projects I’ve picked are fulfilling when I see a child whose life has been saved you know cuz we got fresh water or I see somebody who’s got food and never had it before or child that’s got saved who was in slavery and we got
[00:35:00] him out those are measurable pieces that like keep me going you know I don’t have to wait till I get the goal Someday I’m getting feedback all the time and also I’m getting the feedback in my own mind which is I I’m not going to meet 99% of the people I’ve ever help they’ll never thank me they don’t need to I know and that gives me drive at a different level I’m not doing it for accolades I’m doing it because it’s right and that’ll give you more power than any accolades that some people look for or any economics and then if you do this right you’ll you’ll make great economics as well but my my number one piece is get to a place where you want something so bad you can find that certainty you’re not there yet that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get there quickly though is that helpful we’re going to take three quick questions okay we’re going to go to gouie uh we’re going to go to Charlie we’re go to seion and uh I get a last question in before we break for uh for the party tonight gly go ahead uh uh we have done future schools in the past 10 years uh
[00:36:00] work with schools globally uh China us Israel Finland Canada and we have a solution for schools for future schools my question for you is uh would you still like to work with K to2 students yes and how well I I want to know what your system is I love the idea that many of you supported here which is reversing it that I know the con institute’s done which is where basically when they’re in school they’re getting helped and they’re being worked on but they go home and they take in the class I also love that because quite frankly you can hire the best teachers in the world because they can watch it they don’t have to be in class you don’t have to have all the not all teachers are equal I’m not a big Believer by the way in equity just personally I think Equity sounds good but the way we’re executing Equity is making everybody equal not everybody has equal skill or equal drive or equal caring or equal hard work and I don’t I think that’s what the goal should be I think equal opportunity is there and so for i’ want
[00:37:02] to know what the system is right that makes that happen I want to know what what the system is and if it’s something usable then I’d look and say where could I help you scale that and how could I play any role that would be supportive wonderful thank you we will talk more I’d love to hear more thank you thank you very much thank you Charlie thank you um before Joe’s question I was going to ask if you could add a presidential Moon shot to the list but I’m not going to ask that now I was going to ask unless you want to answer it of course um but I was going to ask we’ve been learning a lot about longevity and clearly mindset is a massive thing in helping people not the people in this room necessarily but the people outside this room have a longevity mindset can you give us any advice as to how we can help people help themselves to have a more have a better longevity mind set and take their health more seriously I I think I’m sorry to be so simplistic but I think it has to start with your example no one’s going to listen to you talk about something you live it so you know one of the reasons I think I was able to influence
[00:38:00] a lot of people in this area is because the level of demand that make my body and the level I’m able to deliver energetically is more than most people would expect so it’s like what is he doing so they’re willing to listen and they also see I don’t pretend to have all the answers I’m always looking for more answers and better answers so I think your own model is the most important thing uh if you’re talking about it and you’re not living it your influence is going to be limited I think the second thing then is um is to make sure you find things they’re cutting edge that can help people because when you find something like you know one of the gifts of my life used to have all these huge long mission statements now it’s really simple how can I help every day of my life I get a phone call and at this stage of my life I get somebody every week or two that’s got cancer or somebody who’s got had a stroke or a heart attack or Alzheimer’s and un fortunately I can steer them in the right directions because I’ve done my homework and you know um please pick up Life Force if you haven’t done it because it’s the best out of 150 of the best doctors out there we’re not taking any money from it we donated all the money from it but I think you’ll all find tools in there that a lot of people
[00:39:00] don’t even know exist that can solve problems and if you don’t know it ignorance is not Bliss ignorance is pain ignorance is poverty ignorance is death you know so we really want to make that happen but I’d say arm yourself live by example arm yourself and then I think it’s like point out the people that people are inspired by like you know LeBron spends a million dollars a year on his body you know not everyone’s going to do that but you start seeing his disciplines that allow him at this level to still perform at this stage of life it’s pretty impressive right Tom Brady you know same thing and all these people you know Jack Nicholas when we were together in uh 3 or four years ago at the Vatican he was there and I got a chance to visit with him and he did endorsement over a book and so forth because like he was not able to walk or play tennis or Golf and they were going to fuse his back which by the way 57% of the time it does absolutely no good and then you become immobilized that’s the stats but people go get their their they freeze it’s insane but anyway he did stem cells and now he plays tennis and
[00:40:00] golf again and he’s 80 what 82 83 years old and so forth so showing Role Models is the other way I try to do it be a role model show role models and be incredibly informed so when people need it you can help them then they’ll tell other people oh my God you know I went in there and you know I thought it was going to die and here I am I’m healthy and I made it through the situation I think those might be three things to consider right thank you thank you so much thank you very question thank what do you got for us uh first of all pet I got to give a shout out to those shoes because they’re than thank you these are Mike K’s uh uh special shoes thank you for everything that you’re doing especially with food in security now when you’re thinking about tackling food in security you got to also think about how do you tackle food waste yes so I was wondering if you’ve considered um using space technology which is freeze drying food and the reason why I say that is because when you freeze dried food you take the waste out and you sh I mean you take the water out and you ship the nutrients
[00:41:00] which reduces the cost of everything and then was on the SpaceX first private mission to orbit wow yeah I actually uh yeah two years ago I became the first black female to Pilot of SP that’s awesome congratulations I I also lived in a moon a Mars simulation for four months for NASA to investigate food strategies for long duration space flight and that’s when I got introduced to freeze technology where you can have freeze dried fruits Meats vegetables you take the water out ice and ice cream although the ice cream’s not as good but what it does is it you know freeze dried um food becomes self-stable for up to a decade and then it’s there for when you need it so I was just wondering if you addressing in your food insecurity the food waste issue and how we can maybe introduce space technology to help that I love that idea um feeding America there’s a a a group of young people that have created a computerized
[00:42:00] program that can track food better than anybody’s done before and they’re they’re believing they can save about a billion meals just by that process alone so I’m working with them but I think the freeze dried is brilliant I I don’t have any reference for it I’d love to have share with you and and talk to some of the people we know about in that area I would love to talk to you further on this because I think it’s a game changer okay I’d love that that’d be wonderful thank you so much I will say one of the thing though to please give her a [Applause] [Music] hand the and doing our uh research about you know creating clean cell technology or stem cell or or clean food as they’re describe it you know most of you know it’s built in a bioreactor I was just with Shake T have a chance to tell you this um last week and there was a gentleman there they have a firm that’s doing that type of work with foods but they’re also doing a similar thing they’re making fertilizer that supposedly has no release of gases but also they can send the bacteria to grow it so we don’t have all the shipping problems that we’re having right now in cost to a place with a bioreactors local and then they make the fertilizer there and not have the greenhouse gases so I’m
[00:43:02] looking at every option I could so I’d love to get your card because also freeze-dried technology is really cheap and can be put everywhere that’s great I’m connection great feedback give her hand yep so Tony um tomorrow is our commitment day Our member moonshot day uh we have Ray in the morning we’re going to do some Q&A with him talk about uh his views right he’s still holding to 2029 is as human level AI in 2033 for high bandwidth BCI yeah um and then members are getting on stage here to share their their moonshots uh part of my goal of having you here now was to inspire everybody here uh to what can be done uh at the end of the day going stretching yourself uh beyond what feels comfortable in your moonshot you want to give some advice on on how or where they should push I think it’s different for
[00:44:01] all of you right we’re all individuals I can’t give you something Universal just principles and I think I try to do that in the beginning here for you I think the most important thing is if it doesn’t stretch you it’s not going to excite you if it’s not going to excite you you’re not going to stay with it and it needs to be something that’s like feels like Legacy for you like any one of the moonshots I’ve had I’ve like you know I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of millions of people over the years and helping people improve their lives that to me would be enough of a legacy then like okay if I could feed a billion people that’s a pretty good Legacy well okay 100 billion meals that’s even better Legacy and it’s just like if it’s something that if you did nothing else in your life that’s the only thing you did you hang your hat on and say that was a life well- lived outside obviously your family and your children to me that’s the type of moonshot you’d want because that’s what’s going to keep you up get you up early keep you up late that’s going to give you the drive to attract the kind of people to do it cuz you’re not going to do it by yourself anybody does that’s nuts you know it’s like you you have to attract the right right people no matter how smart you are we’re all better together but so it’s got to be a vision
[00:45:01] that’s just not just good for you it’s got to be a vision large enough that others grab a hold of it run I think that’s been the and when you’re on stage tomorrow it’s what do you need who wants to partner with you right the the the the value and the energy of partnership and Community here is one of the benefits you’re going to get everybody here is here to make a difference in the world to uplift Humanity to make a dent in the universe so I’m hoping that you’ll have either found each other ready or tomorrow will facilitate that that’s awesome yeah Maya I can’t let you not ask your question but we do need to go so make it short please okay uh oh darn Mike two please yeah okay hi um it’s I’ll try to make it as as as short as I can um it’s a two-part question the the first it’s fast as fast as fast I promise so the first part of my question is so I run a VC in Nigeria we invest across Africa we also have a nonprofit that trains about 100,000 a year in technical skills so um I’m I’m we and we
[00:46:01] are not new to the concepts of poverty slavery these sorts of things but my focus is on democratizing access to technical skills which lead to entrepreneurship which lead to equity and ownership and wealth creation and so if we can make it easier for people to be entrepreneurs and get in the technical space then they can transform Generations so have you thought about transforming disenfranchised community Through equity and ownership ship and my second question is so one of my limited partners says this thing it’s awful but kind of true um is he says he hasn’t met a successful founder who was loved by both their parents and what what I mean by that is we have all gone through or there seems to be what I’ve noticed and it sounded like you said forefathers like how you grew up there’s this and and I you know everything I’ve built has been from the ground up I can’t from you know modest modest Beginnings um there’s there’s
[00:47:01] this in this Arc of a of an entrepreneur’s development I’m almost done um it starts with running away from the thing that caused you harm in your childhood or upbringing etc etc and then it being a fear-based motivation and that transition to love and abundance and I’d love to hear about your journey from your running to that pursuing love and abundance well let me see if I can tighten that way the hell down um on to the second part first uh um my mother was the most infal person in my life she’s a beautiful human being I never even said anything about what she did until after she passed away and I didn’t even do it then but one day I was with this group of kids from New York they were all from half American and Hispanic families where there was only a mother and no father and they were feeling like they couldn’t handle anything so I was trying to tell them that your you know basically your biography is not your destiny your past is not equal your future unless you live there but I realized I’m a tall white guy who’s doing well so they’re not going to
[00:48:01] listen so I told them the whole story what I really went through and left all the details and they were all crying their eyes out at the end and I said look where I am now and I said I want to tell you something I have no anger towards my mother because when you mix drugs and alcohol people aren’t themselves and I said so if my mom had been the mother I’d hoped she’d be I would not be the man I’m proud to be cuz I became a practical psychologist to protect my younger brother and younger sister I learned to predict human behavior how to change and alter States so much of what I have today that’s maybe more sophisticated I learned at that stage so I don’t know that every great founder has had no love in his life from one of his parents I don’t wouldn’t make that generalization but I would say it requires hunger to achieve and it’s the thing we’re missing in our culture not everybody but people that are hungry but I mean not hunger for food I’m talking about Hunger to be more to do more to give more to share more to create more if if you’re just hungry for a little goal you’re going to get the goal it’s easy to satisfy yourself but if you’re hungry to serve something much greater than yourself whether it be your child or your family or Community or
[00:49:00] Humanity I don’t mean virtual signaling [ __ ] I mean what you really do within yourself that no one else knows when that’s happening you feel Fully Alive and so yes mine did start with anger I’ll show her and then it mov to love and joy and service and I I think that’s a common pattern some people get stuck so that’s your first one your your previous question what was it again your leveraging equity and ownership to so yes you you know I believe you know I’m sure all of you are familiar with organizations that loan money locally the money stays with the community and so forth so I’ve certainly made those um but my biggest thing is teaching Innovation so I’m I’m good at creating a transformation because I do things in OB in a um how should I say in total total immersion if you if any of you went how many went to college and learned a foreign language and raise your hand if you learned a foreign language college high school drop your hand if you no longer speak it with a squat okay most of you dropped your hands some of you live in cultures where you still use it but most people don’t
[00:50:00] cuz you learn a little bit at a time but if I dropped you in Italy and said you know what I’ll pick you up in 90 days without a teacher I guarantee you 90 days later I’ll come back you’re speaking because you’re in the immersion breathing it seeing it feeling it experiencing it’s how we learn best so I believe that’s the best way to teach and so I like to do that with entrepreneurship and I just saw shiv’s face somewhere out here but shiv from the Sun Foundation is a dear friend there’s shiv right there he is an organization that last year was at 600 ,000 people last year that competed yeah around the world 600,000 young people commuting bringing forth their kind of like Shark Tank description of their businesses they gave them each about $1,000 everyone they gave them SAS software they help them and then the winners get additional funding and so forth so this year we’re targeting a million people together and I want to train those million people because now I can scale things like I never could before so we can do that with your community as well as long as we got access to the internet we can make it happen so see us or C sh over there he can tell you more about it as well we can make it happen give her hand thank you so
[00:51:02] much Hara I’m going to give you the last question you’ve been standing up waiting a long time let’s keep it brief very short okay so in fact I don’t even have a question I have a challenge for you Tony because you changed my life in 2007 where I got your book awaken the joint within and my challenge was I wanted to be an inventor and within an year I had a target of one patent I got seven patents issued now I’m trying to have give it back by Skilling a billion people because that is what we need it is an every skill store which we are building and to skill those people I need them motivated and for that I’m throwing you this challenge where I want you to compete not against a Stanford Professor but against a holographic AI Avatar of yourself and have that Avatar teach the control population and you teach the population and we keep running it and it will be sometime you will beat it sometime but till the end of your life we need to keep running this so
[00:52:02] that even after you that can keep continuing so does anybody understand what just said I’m teasing I’m teasing what I will say to you is that’s exactly the kind of thing we’re doing but because of covid I found a way to scale so I can train like I did a million a half people for six days so if you want to you know find ways that we can help with certain skill sets or spreading that I’d be more than open to that again and you can see me or you can see some of my friends here thank you so much all right everybody let’s give it up for Tony Robbins [Music]
