#742: Tony Robbins and Jerry Colonna

This episode is a two-for-one, and that’s because the podcast
recently hit its 10-year anniversary and passed one billion
downloads. To celebrate, I’ve curated some of the best of the
best—some of my favorites—from more than 700 episodes over the
last decade. I could not be more excited. The episode features
segments from episode #37 "Tony Robbins on Morning Routines, Peak
Performance, and Mastering Money" and #373 "Jerry Colonna — The
Coach with the Spider Tattoo."
