Tony robbins' heroic speach at TED

Tony robbins gave the most inspired presentation of the week and in a truly heroic moment told al gore what so many of us have thought but would never say - that if al had ran for president with the passion he exhibits in his fight against global warming he would have won.

Tony robbins is an impressive man and a real leader and I'm someone who previously thought he was a cheesy infomercial peddling guy in hawaiin shirts. I will definitely go to one of his events. Clear we can all learn a lot from him about our own growth and transformation. Sent wirelessly via BlackBerry from T-Mobile.

I have been to two Tony Robbins events: Unlease The Power Within where I walked across hot coals and Date with Destiny where I got much more clear on what my life needs are priorities are. I am leaving Tuesday for Life Mastery at the Namale Resort in Savu Savu, Fiji. It's a six day fast (scary!) and deep dive into life plans. I know Tony made a ton of dough off his infomercials but I think they've eroded his brand too much. He is a truly caring and insightful man and won't be doing his work forever. I encourage you to attend UPW asap! Especially since he offered it free to Tedsters.
