Kim:

Today I'm talking with the one and only Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi.

 

Tony Robbins:

This is the most important lesson I got in business in my life. Now, you can learn from the very best people in the world directly. I know lots of very smart people that can't fight their way out of a paper bag in business practically. Right.

 

Kim:

And when that shifted for me, it was easier for me to accomplish my goals and dreams.

 

Dean Graziosi:

In times like these, you're either one step ahead or you're definitely two steps behind.

 

Tony Robbins:

The real secret is to understand that this is the time to take advantage. But if you're gonna have a life that's fulfilling, then you have to find something you care about more than yourself.

 

Kim:

Okay, y'all, we are in the summer of success series, and these episodes are designed to help you discover new successes in your life. This series is packed with, like, advice, fun stories, actionable steps that you can take right now to help you change your life for the better, for more success. And today's episode is huge. Zac, would you say, it's like, I'm.

 

Zac:

So excited about this episode, I could not be more excited about this episode.

 

Kim:

We have Tony Robbins on the podcast today. Can you believe this?

 

Zac:

Huge. Just huge.

 

Kim:

Okay. These guys. These guys are, like, super, uber successful, not only in business, but in, you know, helping us become the best selves that we can be. Tony Robbins. Lord. Y'all have seen him everywhere. He's the number one life business, and strategist. He's a peak performance coach, an expert.

 

Kim:

He's a number one time bestselling author, global entrepreneur, and philanthropist, and my new best friend. And Dean also is an entrepreneur. He has played a major role in 14 successful companies. He's an investor, a best selling author, a co founder of Mastermind.com, and I wish I had had him. I like when I started my business seven years ago. Tony and Dean have teamed up, y'all, to host a free virtual live event from June 13 through the 15th called the game has changed. I've already signed up, so I'm doing this so that y'all go ahead and get signed up so we could do this together. I can't wait to ask them all about what it means.

 

Kim:

The game has changed. Welcome to the show!

 

Tony Robbins:

Thanks for having us on.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Great energy. Thanks, Kim.

 

Kim:

We sing your names in so that you can have a ringtone when you leave us. You want to play it one more time, Zac, so they can play it one more time.

 

Zac:

Here you go, guys.

 

Kim:

Yeah.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Tony. I'm just gonna start leaving you that message at night. Tony, that's the only thing.

 

Tony Robbins:

That's awesome.

 

Kim:

Okay, so I'm so excited to have you on. I have, like, been cyber stalking and following you both for. For a decade. I know. I think, like, when I think of the founder of, like, entrepreneurialism, excellence, game changer, goal achiever, I think of you, Tony. And Dean, you're right there with him. I mean, you know what I'm saying? I mean, Tony Robbins. I used to get your cassette tapes, dude.

 

Kim:

I mean, like, the cassette tapes and then. I'm gonna tell a story.

 

Tony Robbins:

No, I'm not that old. We don't remember cassette tapes, do we?

 

Kim:

Oh, my gosh, Tony, I was like, twelve. But anyway, it was a cassette tape. And I'm just gonna. Full disclosure, I broke the law. I dubbed them and gave them out to all my friends. So sue me, Tony.

 

Zac:

I'm hearing from Tony's lawyers, right?

 

Kim:

Right? No. Okay, guys, you've got to tell me really quick, can y'all just inspire us a little bit? Because my audience already loves you guys and I just want to get a takeaway before we get into the virtual live event, which I've already signed up for. Y'all been friends forever? Like business partners, friends, all of that, right?

 

Tony Robbins:

Yes.

 

Kim:

How long?

 

Tony Robbins:

Twelve years.

 

Kim:

Dang, I love it. Best friends. Great.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Twelve years ago, somebody introduced us and we were going to meet for two minutes and it ran longer. And a week later, I was at Tony's house and I think we spent 10 hours together. It was your birthday. We celebrated your birthday about twelve years ago, and we've been blessed to be friends ever since. So I get to say thank you to this guy all the time.

 

Kim:

Well, and now that him and I are best friends, I'll be able to do the same for the next twelve years. But this is the thing. This is the thing. Iron sharpens iron. So that's what I've always loved about what you've done, Tony. And what you are, you know, still doing, Dean, you both are, is that you are really adding value to all of our lives. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm an accidental entrepreneur.

 

Kim:

And I had experiences living. Cause my business didn't hit it big till I was like, 46.

 

Tony Robbins:

Wow.

 

Kim:

And it hit big overnight. It was an overnight success.

 

Tony Robbins:

Only took 26 years to get there.

 

Kim:

Only took like 25 years. But I do believe it was, you know, God's timing. Perfect timing. But at the same time, it was my experience. So can you talk to me about what this virtual. I think this is one of the biggest and best virtual events I've ever. I've been in all of them. I'm serious.

 

Kim:

I probably like 20 of them. And I love the fact that it's free. But what is the game has changed.

 

Tony Robbins:

Mean, y'all, it's really about. Think about it. Most people's path to have an extraordinary quality of life for decades ago was you worked hard, you've got good grades in school, you got into the best university, you went for four, six or eight years, depending on the degree you're after. You went to work for a big corporation, and you lived your life, and at the end, you have this great pension, and that was what life was about. Well, today it's absurd. Today, first of all, the cost of education has exploded way beyond anything inflation could ever dream of. It's no longer something that's really worthwhile for a lot of people. 76% of the people who go to college and spend 30 or $350,000 a year, guess what? They don't do a job.

 

Tony Robbins:

Their job has nothing. Where they go to work has nothing to do with what they studied in school, and they spent all that money. Of the 27, 26%, 28% that actually are in the field, more than 50% say they hate their job. And people are tired of going to a university education where I'm spending a fortune for someone to pontificate who's never done it. And so for us, the game has changed, is the world has changed. Now you can learn from the very best people in the world directly, and that's because of the digital revolution that we're in. But you said something really important, though. The secret we show people in this three days, for a couple hours, two, 3 hours a day, we're going to show people how to go from just an idea, or not even an idea of what they want to do to understanding how they can get it in the knowledge business.

 

Tony Robbins:

Because the knowledge business is growing at this temple. It's a million dollars a day. Excuse me? A billion dollars a day. It's supposed to be a trillion within three years. When he and I started working on this about seven years ago, eight years ago, they were talking about a billion dollars a day. And it looked like, just ridiculous, but it's a fact today. So an industry that's growing. But here's the secret.

 

Tony Robbins:

I went to work for a guy named Jim Rohn when I was 17 years old. He was a personal development speaker, philosopher, kind of business philosopher. And I grew up dirt poor. I had four different fathers. We had no money for food. One of the reasons I've provided a billion meals over the last eight years for feeding America is somebody fed me when I was eleven. So I said, two families, four. And gradually over the decades, it grew to the expansiveness it is now, and I'm working 100 billion meals.

 

Tony Robbins:

But the point is, the man who changed my life, I went to work for this guy and he taught me the most important lesson of all. He taught me, certainly for things that change for you, you got to change, right? For things to get better, you got to get better. Basic fundamental philosophy. But I asked him, I was so frustrated. I said, how come all my fathers were broke? They'd work and then they lose their jobs and we had no money for food. Literally, we had to be fed by other people. I said, they're good men. Explain it to me.

 

Tony Robbins:

Explain me how that happens. And I got a teacher over here that only makes, in those days, $35,000 a year. And I see this guy over here who's a hedge fund guy making 2 billion. That's so unfair. And he said, tony, before you decide it's unfair, I want you to consider something. This is the most important lesson I got in business in my life. He said, think about this. We're all equal as souls, but we're not equal, but we're not equal in the marketplace.

 

Tony Robbins:

What does that mean? He said, think about it. Somebody works at McDonalds, I'm not picking up McDonalds. He said, anybody can learn that job in a few hours. Today, less than that, because its pictures. I dont even have to know the language. He said, so how valuable is that job? You can complain about the low pay, but its not designed to be a long term job. Its an entry job. And the way you get to earn more is you become more valuable, you learn more, you have skills, you have abilities.

 

Tony Robbins:

When you're working at McDonald's, you don't have much skill, so you get very little. He said, your teacher, he said, how many teachers did you have over your life? I said, well, lots. He goes, how many of them were extraordinary? How many were magnificent? I said, I had a few. He said, a few? He said, and they're talking to 30 people and they're not willing to take a risk. They want a guaranteed salary whether they perform or not. He said, that guy you're complaining about, the hedge fund guy, he generated a return of over 40% for the last three years. Compounded, that means people are doubling their money every two, two and a half years. Those are people's pensions.

 

Tony Robbins:

That's their backgrounds, that's their kids college educations. He said. So he made 2 billion because he made 50 billion for everybody else, he's worth it. So he said, here's what you need to understand. If you want to be successful in financial terms, you have to become more valuable. You have to learn to do more for others than anybody else in your industry. In other words, add more value, not the value you want to add. The value of the marketplace really needs and wants.

 

Tony Robbins:

And if you study that and you work harder on yourself than you do your job, invest in you, you will become dominant over the years and whatever it is you do. And so today, you know, I'm fortunate enough to have 114 companies. We do $7 billion in business across all these different industries. I had no business background, but the one universal thing I learned how to do was when I took over a company or bought a company or partnered in a company. The first thing we figure out is, what can we do better than anyone else in the industry to over deliver for clients? We don't get satisfied customers. Satisfied customers go away. Right. We got raving fans.

 

Tony Robbins:

Satisfied customers go away. Raving fans stay. So, Dan, this is our total passion because we got an industry that has so much upside. But today, I mean, you know, we sound like old guys because we've been doing this between us. How many years? How many years have we done between us?

 

Dean Graziosi:

74.

 

Kim:

Oh, my gosh.

 

Tony Robbins:

That's all Dean, by the way, he's 50. But anyway, the point is we've been doing it that many years. So, yeah, when we started out, you know, we were driving uphill both ways, walking uphill through the snow, you know.

 

Kim:

Right.

 

Tony Robbins:

It cost a fortune to start. You got to take, buy it, rent a giant ballroom. To get the knowledge business, you had to go print. Brochures cost tens of thousands of dollars. Mailing cost tens of thousands of dollars today. We not looking to show somebody getting business and be digital overnight. But with the use of AI, you can take anybody's even know what the business they want to be in and make it happen. And that really is what we're most excited about.

 

Tony Robbins:

And we're going to take people through that on June 13 through the 15th. For the game has changed and show you in real time, not one, 2 hours, one day, or you show up and it's three days in a row of a process to take you from not even knowing what you want to do to saying, hey, this could be my livelihood, or this could be my side bit, or this could be just something that's so fulfilling for me because it's not just widgets. People are learning how to make a difference in people's lives. And you know what's crazy? It could be as little as you figured out how to get the eczema off your child as a baby in torture, and you share that. It could be people who've had conscious divorces and they still love each other and they teach a course on it. We show people how to create that in literally in minutes. What took Dean and I literally years, in some cases a decade, you can now do in days, in some cases in hours. It's mind boggling.

 

Tony Robbins:

It's because of AI.

 

Kim:

Okay, I gotta ask you something, because a lot of people, especially women, struggle with having the trouble. They have trouble seeing their own value and the value that they can add. Like, what do you do with somebody? Because, okay, technology, please. You know, thank God I have people. But I just want to say, like, what do you say to these? And especially women who are sitting at home going, I want to do something different. I know I have the experience. I know I have value to add. What do you say to that person that has that self doubt?

 

Dean Graziosi:

I would say this, first off, you know, I'd start with, they are enough. They know enough, and they can do it. In most cases, they didn't have a good guide.

 

Kim:

Okay.

 

Dean Graziosi:

They didn't have the person to show them the path. But secondly, I've been saying this a long time, Kim, but you got to hear this. I wish if we were live right now, I'd know the answer, because I've been blessed to be able to ask hundreds of thousands of people this question. But for every woman home, anybody listening? But if you're home right now, and I. Somebody gave me a magic wand and gave me the opportunity to give you one or the other wish, and I said, I can put a million dollars in your bank account right now, deposit the million dollars, or I can send you back so you can spend a whole week with your 20 year old self, and you can prepare and share about what you should do in business, what you should do in life. Hey, don't jump in that first relationship. Hey, you don't have to. You don't have to take that job just because you thought your parents wanted you to.

 

Dean Graziosi:

If you could prepare and go back and spend a week or take the million dollars cash, what would you do? Out of hundreds of thousands of people, I've only seen a million dollars across the screen or a hand raise a couple of times out of hundreds of thousands of people, think about what you would do. But here's the fact. I'd go back, of course. And because if you think about it, your life experience is that valuable to yourself, but it's just as valuable to other people who are starting off where you once were. If you're a chapter ahead through a divorce, if you're a chapter ahead in sales, if you're a chapter ahead in starting your business, a chapter ahead of doing crafts and art or painting or doing things at home or DIy or anything you can think of. There is somebody on day one going, I could go back to college. That's too general. That's not working anymore.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I could learn on my own.

 

Kim:

Expensive and expensive.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Learn on my own. I don't have enough time for trial and error. Or I can find someone who's already done what I want to achieve, and I can cut a check for speed. I can buy their course. I can get in their monthly program. I can be in their community. This isn't for other people anymore. And, you know, I'm so glad my team gave me a great background on you, Kim, and all the things you do.

 

Dean Graziosi:

But I see it, this phase of your life. You write books, information, you're a life coach. Information. Right? You speak on stages, you're providing information. And I would bet to say, in all the things you do, they're probably the things that light you up the most. Is that true?

 

Kim:

It is. And it's edification, too. It's not. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, information is great, but what you guys do, Dean, is you edify, you build up. Like, knowledge is great, but an inspiration is pretty good. But this edification that you give in your courses, and I'm not even trying to do a hard sell. I'm serious. Because it's free.

 

Kim:

So I'm just saying, like, it's the edification, Dean and Tony, that you guys bring to the world.

 

Dean Graziosi:

It's a buildup.

 

Kim:

It's a buildup. Right, right. It's a how to. It's practical.

 

Tony Robbins:

Yeah, yeah. It's a process that's making practical. But with the right strategy, you can save yourself a decade without exaggeration. I mean, the things dean and I talked to the other day saying, can you imagine if we had these tools and we were starting out? I mean, it's ridiculous, but it's also so much fun because we can take people like, we have a guy who was a frustrated car salesman. His name's Andy. About five years ago, he came into our community and not doing so great in that area, and he decided he wanted to do better, got him to work better on himself, make those personal development changes. And we showed him how to take what he learned when he started to succeed and share it with other people. He's got a hundred million dollar business now, and he started with us five years ago from scratch.

 

Tony Robbins:

And then we got, like, we got an acupuncturist, a woman named Chris, who, you know, she takes her skills. She's really good at acupuncture. Before, all she could do is acupuncture. If she wasn't working physically, you know, she's only being paid by the hour. Well, we got her to be able to make money while she sleeps because she built the course, teaches other acupuncture people insights that she has. She making over $100,000 in her business in her very first year. And then we have people that just want to share something. It's something that really matters to them, and they've gone through pain, and their pain or their problem becomes the opportunity, because once you solve it within yourself, that's what I've done my whole life.

 

Tony Robbins:

Anything. That was a big challenge. I figured if I can solve this for me, I can also show other people I'll solve it as well and save them decades, save them hours, save them so much pain. So people are doing that across every kind of subject you can matter. We have over 100,000 people in our community right now who are coaching each other. And what hundred countries plus now, Dean? Is it 100?

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yeah, over 100 countries.

 

Kim:

That's in the mastermind, right? The mastermind program? Okay. Yeah. Cause that's. Is that the deeper level? Like. Like, to me, that is your new college experience. Like, I deal with a lot of and mentor a lot of young people and did that with a lot of young girls. And I have two teenage sons. Like, how important, like, could a mother and son, like, a 50 year old and her 17 year old son come to this? What are.

 

Kim:

I mean, that would be, like, magical. It'd be great.

 

Tony Robbins:

I'll tell you what a person needs. I love the idea of, like, a mother and a son, because in real life, one of my boys is one of my businesses to me, and it's the most fun thing in the world, especially as they get older. So it's really gorgeous. But, you know, we get people of every walk of life that come. We got people that are in a corporate job but they know it's just not fulfilling. But they're afraid to make the jump. It seems too big. I didn't know where I start.

 

Tony Robbins:

We have people that are currently doing something, but it's not, it's not that it's not good. It's actually okay, but it's just not fulfilling for them. Filling people have that entrepreneurial itch that really want to get going. What we look for is one thing, hunger. If you look at the most successful.

 

Kim:

How bad do you want it? Yeah, how bad do you want it?

 

Tony Robbins:

I don't care if, like, I believe intelligence is one of the greatest gifts. I love wickedly smart people, but I know lots of very smart people. I can't fight the weight of a paper bag in business practically, right? So it's like we're looking for somebody. Like, if you look at, you know, Richard Band or, you know, Richard Branson, rather. He started virgin when he was 13 years old, you know, 16. He's in a cemetery building this thing. He's just as hungry today to be more, to do more, to share more, to create more as when he started. Oprah's still hungry.

 

Tony Robbins:

That's why she's still doing the business she's done. Anybody you see that successful has that hunger. So if that hunger usually shows up because you have a birthday with a zero on it after 35 or 40 or a birthday with a five even, it happens because you go through a divorce. It happens because you finally get sick and tired of just settling. It happens because the kids have grown up and now you're an empty nester. There's so many things that can trigger hunger in somebody, and some people are just naturally hungry. The people that just, they're just always going for it, driven. That's our audience.

 

Tony Robbins:

And we can take that audience and show them how to produce results beyond their imagination, where they have the quality of life they want. But the career is part of that. It's a mission for them. It's pretty cool.

 

Kim:

How important is mindset going into this? Because to me, it was a game changer for me. The way I look at things, my perception of things. And when that shifted for me, I mean, it really, I'm gonna do air quotes here. It was easier for me to accomplish my goals and dreams. How important do you address that at all?

 

Dean Graziosi:

And I think I'll speak from that perspective. I think that's what makes this partnership and our friendship work so well. Tony knows how to market and run companies as good as any human being on the planet's wise, the world's leading strategist. But when it comes to shifting your state and mindset, there's no one, and I could say this about my brother, there's no one better in the world. I know mindset, but I'm nowhere near what this man is. And when it comes to marketing, we're both good at it. But that's something I've obsessed on for 30 years, every single days. How do you fall in love with your product so much that you have to find every way possible to get people to say yes or you're doing them a disservice? So the combo of the two has, what I believe is when we launched this six years ago, Kim, it's become a movement because when you get Tony Robbins under your skin and in your head, you become unstoppable.

 

Dean Graziosi:

And then the two of us work together to give you a path, the map, the assistance and the tools to make it real. That that compound is why this has become such a movement, why this year we'll have over a million people registered for this event. And just in the last five years alone, we've seen over a million people just with this business, not the other businesses I work with Tony on, that's probably over 11 million. But nothing we've ever done has compared to what we're doing this one. And I know I might sound like a little hyperbole here, but the fact of the matter is, in 40 years, 40 plus years of towing doing this, almost 30 for your 27 and a half for me, this industry has changed at a rapid rate, maybe a 45 degree angle. It has changed more in the last twelve months than it has in the last 20 years prior. And because you have assistance, because you have help, because you can work with a program that thinks like Tony and I, so you're not stuck on the blank page so you don't get overwhelmed 24 hours, seven days a week, someone to help you put this together. You can't use the excuse of time, can't use the excuse I'm too old or I don't like technology.

 

Dean Graziosi:

This really busts those excuses. That's why we called it. The game has changed. That's why we want people to come.

 

Tony Robbins:

And by the way, when people hear things like AI today, some people kind of freak out. Oh, I love it. All it is if you got the right AI now, the right AI. If you go to chat GPT, one third of the answers are made up, one third. So you get wrong information. So we built an AI that's a closed system. And Dean is a little too humble. He certainly has the mindset piece as strong as I do.

 

Tony Robbins:

But he definitely is a Picasso of marketing. We both have skills in that area, but he is really phenomenal in that area. All that we have taught is there. All you have to do is ask questions. That's all it is. And you get the answers. But what's really cool is we've even figured out the questions for you. We have a type of question for you to trigger the answer to say, okay, how do I find what might be my real passion here? Or whatever kind of business is this? Or how would I outline a course if this is what I want to accomplish? And these are some of the tools I have? It is mind boggling because it happens in milliseconds.

 

Tony Robbins:

It's right there. Hardest part, if you ever try to write a course or do something is sitting down in front of that blank page and trying to get something to come through you. That's over with.

 

Dean Graziosi:

AI, that's on.

 

Tony Robbins:

So we have not only that, but then how do I market it? It puts the marketing plan together for you. I mean, it is ridiculous. So it still takes work. There's no freebies in life. You still have to do your part. But the pace at which you can go from not knowing anything to being really great in this business and being able to do something you love and earn in it is shortened, like massively, like Dean said, more in the last year than the last probably 25 or 30 years. That's how fast it's changed. And so we want to take people through it.

 

Tony Robbins:

When they're on our free course, we're going to give them, if they want, they can pay a dollar and they can use all our software and everything else, literally a dollar. And they can, while they're in the course, they can do all these things, live with us at no charge. We want to give people an experience that blows their mind. And we've done it each year. That's why we'll have over a million people this year. Do you know the website address there, Dean? I'm not sure what it is for us.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yeah, they can go to Dean and tonylive.com Kim. Dean and tonylive.com Kim. And I'd say one of the things the team's been staying here and I think it's a pretty cool, is in shifting times like this and we know the world has changed. Some people are afraid of AI, but you realize once you get simplicity on the other side of complexity, you realize it's like having a great conversation. Once you understand that inflation can destroy you or can be your competitive edge, right. When it comes to inflation, Kim, you don't have to pay anything. When you do a coaching session, you don't have to pay for inventory. No startup fees.

 

Dean Graziosi:

It's your life experience. So this is an inflation buster because you don't have to pay for startup fees, you don't have to pay the cost of inventory, and your knowledge is probably the most valuable asset you have. The team has been saying, in times like these, you're either one step ahead or you're definitely two steps behind. They're having fun with, like, if you think of a wave, right? If you're. If you're too far out in front, you don't catch the wave. If you're a foot behind the wave, you missed it. But if you could get in that sweet spot right at the crest of the wave, it pushes you all the way to shore. And when we say the game has changed, it truly has.

 

Dean Graziosi:

And Tony and I feel blessed that we get to help change it when.

 

Kim:

So many people are disinterested in the corporate climb and even, like, you know, brick and mortar small business, I mean, people are disheartened, like you said, with inflation. I mean, I know for me, I took the hardship of COVID and the lockdowns, and I used it to my advantage. And that's when our business grew three times like our annual revenue and our sales was three times what it is. And now it's just exploded because, like you said, it's in these moments when it's all getting ready to bust forth. But can I ask you with a question? Is this a side hustle? Because, you know, you see all over the Internet, like, you can make $7 million in two minutes by doing, you.

 

Tony Robbins:

Know, first of all, this is. This is not a get rich quick piece, but it's also not a side hustle. What for most people is just working their guts out and they're not getting any further ahead. They're just making correct. They are built.

 

Dean Graziosi:

See, they start a second job.

 

Tony Robbins:

Learn how to make money while you. We got to make money while you sleep. And I've done three number one New York Times bestseller books on finance. And the first one I wrote was after 2008. It's called money Master the game. And I did it because I wanted to see is the game still winnable? Because the entire world economy was almost turned upside down by just a small number of people who we didn't put in jail. We gave them more money so they could continue to do the same things. Just blew my mind.

 

Tony Robbins:

So I said, I have the ability to reach the biggest in the world, the Ray Dalios, the Carl Icahns, the Warren Buffetts. So I interviewed 50 of the smartest people in the world in there. And when I sat down with Warren Buffett, I said, what has been the single best investment of your life? Well, I did all my homework. I figured he was going to say Coca Cola or Geico. I know his companies. And he goes, well, the best investment I ever made is what you do. And I survived. I do a lot of things.

 

Tony Robbins:

Which thing you're talking about? He goes, the way you educate people and change them within themselves. He said, I went to Dale Carnegie when I was first starting my career. It was the single best investment in my entire life. And I'll tell you why. Everything I do would be worthless if I hadn't learned how to communicate effectively. He goes, all those ideas would have died on my lips. He said, so that course is it. And then recently, I just saw a new interview with him that was done.

 

Tony Robbins:

And it was when his recent speech. And they were asking about inflation, and they were saying, like, are you worried about it? He said, no. All you have to do is be three to 10% more effective, and you're fine with inflation. Inflation is going to be three to 8%. Who knows where it's going to be? No one knows for sure. You need, again to be more valuable. But he said, let me tell you how you do that. He said, number one, invest in you because the skills you develop are not taxable.

 

Tony Robbins:

The skills you develop will compound and you'll take it throughout your life, and they're going to get you from where you are to where you want to be faster. Do that before you invest in a company. Set. Two, have your own business. But he said, get a business with low capex. That sounds very complex. It just means low capital expenses. If I own a company that rents out to construction people, these giant earth movers, those machines cost $2 million and they last about four years, and then you got to buy another one.

 

Tony Robbins:

Well, with inflation, they're going to cost more, you're going to run out quicker, the costs are higher, and so those businesses are hurting. But the knowledge business, like you're in, it doesn't have those overhead costs. So you're much more flexible and you're going to win. So the real secret is to understand that this is the time to take advantage. Most people in a time like that get fearful and they freeze. If you freeze, the wave will pass you. You'll be behind the wave as you were just describing, Dean, and you won't be able to catch up. Have you ever tried to do it with a big wave? You know what I'm talking about? Well, this is a wave that's a once in a lifetime wave.

 

Tony Robbins:

If some of us are old enough to remember when the Internet first came into being, meaning the web, and it started to change our lives, well, this is that on steroids. But if you don't participate, because all you do is go to chat GBT every now and ask a silly question. If you don't use it to your advantage, then you're missing out on something and you can't because everyone else is going to move forward. We know how to do it and change the psychology with you, but also show you a step at a time.

 

Kim:

How to do each, how to, how to.

 

Tony Robbins:

But to answer your question directly, no, I don't believe in side hustles. A side hustle is you're working more.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You got to be more exhausted.

 

Tony Robbins:

I mean, this whole hustle, that whole hustle culture, I'm respectful of people with great work ethic. I have great work ethic. But that's not the answer. The answer is you've got to become, stop being a consumer and become an owner.

 

Kim:

Come on.

 

Tony Robbins:

If you become an owner, it's a different game. You can get to a point like Jim Rohn said to me, can you make twice as much money in the same time? I said, well, there are people who do that. So, yeah. I goes, how about five times? How about 100 times more money in the same time? I said, yeah, I guess there are people who do. He goes, how? I said, well, what you taught me, they got more value, they got more valuable, but they got a business. Or theyve learned how to make money when they sleep. Even if you didnt want to do your own business, then you want to invest in businesses and you dont have to have a lot of money. I mean, with compounding, you could take your kid who starts at 19 years old and say, look, you got no overhead.

 

Tony Robbins:

You got a job. I want you to put dollar 300 a year aside or dollar 300 a month aside for the next eight years. And don't forget about that, from 19 years old to 28, if that child does that and never invest it again, they're going to have several million dollars. Million eight, to give you an idea, if their friend starts at 27, same amount and invest not for eight years, but 38 years, and they spend 140 grand. They're going to have 1.5. So it's about getting in the game. The sooner you get in the game, the more you're gonna win. But you gotta know how the game has changed.

 

Kim:

You gotta get in the game. It all started as a love story. You probably think this story's about you. This is a new podcast that is an exploration of love, betrayal, and the far reaching consequences of one man's deceit. I'm telling you right now, I am hooked. Brittany Ard is on the quest for truth. Ooh, this is getting good. She wants to understand how cannon, the man that she once believed to be her soulmate, could have deceived her so deeply.

 

Kim:

If you are into true crime, like me and love, great storytelling, then you have to listen to this podcast. But Brittany Yard is not stopping there. Her goal is to use her story as a way to launch a community for women to find strength and the smarts they need to embark on adulthood, parenthood, partnerships, and confront all the challenges and surprises that life offers. So you've got to go and listen and follow. You probably think the story's about you. Wherever you can listen and download podcasts, we've got the link in our show notes, so make sure you start with episode one. You're going to absolutely love it. It's got crime, it's got love.

 

Kim:

It's got great storytelling, and it's got me hooked. Okay, so, like, let me ask you. My daddy used to always say, hey, Kim, if you make it about others, it'll always be about you. How important is this service mentality that you both have now? Look, you both are highly successful financially. You're very fulfilled personally and professionally. But you give back. And I say that cause I want everybody to really understand, you know, the why you're doing what you're doing, because, I mean, clearly, you don't need the money, Tony and Dean, you don't need. Okay, I'm serious.

 

Kim:

Like, really? But the why behind what you're doing, it is of service. And you're connecting because I know how important it is. Connection is everything. Like, I've had companies want to hire me, teach me how you connect, Kim on QVC. And I'm like, oh, Lord, I never even thought about that. You know, because it does. I've had the experience, Dean. I mean, we talked about it.

 

Kim:

I didn't even know I was cultivating that. So, how important is this servant mentality that you guys have? Even when someone is wanting to start.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Their own business, I'll jump in here. Two things you said, the why and the service mentality. I'll start with the why.

 

Kim:

Okay.

 

Dean Graziosi:

When Tony and I were on a golf course, we golf twice a year with each other, and that's about eight holes, if we get that far. And then we want to go eat lunch and talk, right?

 

Kim:

You want to go eat? Yeah.

 

Dean Graziosi:

But I'll tell you three quick things. Why?

 

Kim:

Okay.

 

Dean Graziosi:

We had been friends for about four years. We weren't doing business. We were just developing a friendship. And we said, if we were going to do a business, what would we do? How could we not do anything that wasn't related to the industry that we both believe saved our lives? Right? Jim Rohn helped transform Tony. Tony did that for me. We're like, hey, we're not going to be here forever. So how do we show people, pull back the curtain, show them what we did. And when we're gone, there's a whole army of people impacting others.

 

Dean Graziosi:

We get to help self education become the new norm because we know the traditional education system currently is broken. We hope it's fixed someday. Secondly, we also both know what it's like, kind of that look in the mirror of like, hey, is this all there is? Like, we know what it's like to want more. You know, I watched my mom struggle working three jobs. Is this all there is? The biggest worries in our family were about money. Is that all there is? So we also, Tony and I both know the feeling of what if we miss it? And this is all there is. Like, I'm going to be like my dad. My biggest worry as a kid is I'm going to end up like my dad.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I love my dad. He's still alive, but I didn't want to be him.

 

Kim:

Right?

 

Dean Graziosi:

He's always broke on five marriages. Always broke. Didn't talk to his brothers and sisters. Always worried about money. Like, I want to be that guy. So we both know what it feels like if we didn't make it. But we also know what it was like to get into an industry. And I can only speak for myself, and I know it to be true with Tony, that not only allowed us to have no glass ceiling, allowed us to become better humans.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I'm telling you right now, I got in this business because of Tony. I bought his course. I'm like, I invested in this guy, changed my life. I want to do that. But I have to be honest with you. When I first got in this business, I just wanted to make money, not to be like my father. But when you get in this industry, there's nothing you can do about it. You start changing.

 

Kim:

You can't help yourself.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You are in the business of impacting others. Whether you're teaching them how to play piano, fix their marriage, simple business, better. It's your business. And there is no way you can't fall in love with impacting others. And I got this from Tony. Like, I literally don't have work life balance. I have work life integration. I don't know when life ends and work begins and work begins and life ends.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I love them both. And how could you not want to just shake people from, you know, shake people and say, come. I said this the other day, if you go to a great restaurant, Kim, do you call somebody or know somebody, like, oh, my God, you gotta go? I could tell you, like, you want them to go experience it, right?

 

Kim:

You can look at me and tell you, I love to eat. Absolutely. And I know good food when I taste it.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Passionate, but very passionate. If you read a book, go to a movie, eat a meal, you can't wait to share it.

 

Kim:

Correct.

 

Dean Graziosi:

The reason Tony and I still do this is because this industry has fueled our lives and filled us with so many great gifts. He's fed over a billion people. Right.

 

Kim:

I know.

 

Dean Graziosi:

So if you just start for the money, there's no way you can't end up being service oriented. There's nothing you could do, because you grow together.

 

Kim:

You grow together, and people need what you have to offer.

 

Tony Robbins:

There's nothing like. I know you've experienced this, too, Kim. There's nothing like the feeling of knowing you've contributed beyond yourself. It doesn't take that much to meet your own needs. We have needs to feel certain, to feel variety, to feel like we're significant, to feel like we're loved, like we're growing, like we're contributing. There's only a few needs we have, and we can meet those needs, including our economic needs, fairly easily. But if you're going to have a life that's fulfilling, then it has. You have to find something you care about more than yourself, and that's where the energy comes from.

 

Tony Robbins:

Because, you know, Dean and I were talking about this the other day because we play golf, like you said, twice a year, eight holes. We didn't have the patience for it, but we enjoy it by being together and going out there. But we see these guys who go out and play every day, and I don't have any disrespect for them. But when you listen, in the locker room, the conversation they have, they'll come up to Dean and I will say, like, you guys are still in the game, aren't you? Wow. I remember when I was in the game, and they're no older than I am, but they checked out, and it's like, so I can't imagine checking out, and there's nothing more fulfilling. And, Kayla, I know you've experienced this is when you serve people and they look you in the eyes. Oh, my gosh. What you shared with me made such a difference in my life.

 

Tony Robbins:

I mean, other than my kids and my family, the greatest gift in my life is that because I've been doing this. This is my 47th year doing this. It's almost 50 years. All around the planet, in every country in the world, 193 countries I've been to doing business. It's like, anywhere I go, every day, I get that feedback. So how could I not want to keep giving? How could I not want to keep contributing? And I also know that once people start to give, they get hooked. But I also want to say, I don't think I did all this because I was such a great person. It's like, why? To feed a billion people? Because I wasn't fed.

 

Tony Robbins:

So I know what suffering feels like, so I don't want to suffer. Somebody fed my family. It's like, okay, let me feed two families. Then it was four, and then was eight. So you can start with the smallest goal. I have a friend, Joe Jebbia, who started Airbnb. This is a perfect example of what Dean and I talk about. He can't pay his rent.

 

Tony Robbins:

One day, he has a roommate splitting the rent on this little apartment, and the owner of the apartment building raised his rent 25% and literally had no money to do it. And he was a designer. And so there was a design conference coming to San Francisco, and he saw the website, said all the hotels were sold out. And he had this moment of inspiration. He looked around because he thought he had nothing like a lot of ladies listening right now. And, gentlemen, I know you have a lot of ladies here. Well, say, well, I don't have anything to give. You're so wrong.

 

Tony Robbins:

We'll help you figure it out. But here's what he did. He looked around and out of desperation, said, we got to find a way to make money. He said, we got a big living room. We have a couple of those blow up airbeds. Why don't we blow three of them? Let's blow three of them. Let's go buy two more. Let's find five of these and let's put an ad there and just say we're going to have Airbnb air and breakfast.

 

Kim:

Literally. Air mattresses pick you up at the airport.

 

Tony Robbins:

We'll show you around, we'll make you breakfast, and you have a place to stay. And they sold it out instantly, right?

 

Kim:

I love it.

 

Tony Robbins:

So they made enough money to pay their rent. Well, guess what? I'm going to give you a perspective. Hilton's been around hotels for over 105 years. They have 1.2 million rooms they pay for. They're worth $50 billion. Airbnb has been around 15 years. They have 7.7 million rooms they don't have to pay for, and they're worth $3 billion. And this is from these guys, you know, just figuring out something.

 

Tony Robbins:

And it didn't go off right away. It took about five years to figure it out, but once they figured it out, it took off. Now, not everybody needs to do a billion dollar business. You might want to just do something that's fun and meaningful and gives you that extra income to do the things you want to do for your family or to enjoy or to expand the quality of your life. Or you might start that way and then you got a monster by the tail when you find something people really love that's so much fun to see.

 

Kim:

Well, I gotta tell you, I know there's people listening to this right now that have had this, like, desire, this burning, this calling, so to speak, in their hearts, and they're resonating with this and they're scared to death, but you don't need to be scared. You need to just jump in and do it. And a big part of your message with the game has changed is about how the american dream is going to require some kind of generational reboot. Like, what is the new american dream, y'all? What is it?

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yeah, I think it is this. Having a life where you don't know where work ends and life begins and there's no limits to who you can become. I don't mean to. That's the first time I've ever said it that way.

 

Kim:

Say that again, twice. I probably can't.

 

Dean Graziosi:

It just came out. But when I think of the american dream, Kim, and I think it's gotten.

 

Kim:

That's good.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I think it's got a bad rap over the last few years, and I think it's been pushed so far to one side that I think it's going to rebound and people are going to realize we live in the greatest country no matter where you live in the world, you can have the american dream. That's really just living in who you're meant to be, not settling to be. That's what I think the american dream is. But when I think of the american dream, you got to think. So I get to do all these cool things with my brother, Tony Robbins. I get to meet amazing people. I get to make sure my family's okay, retire my parents. All these things I never would have dreamed of right in a place where literally, my grandfather, not 20 generations ago, my grandfather left Sterno, Italy, on a donkey, sold it in the harbor, didn't have enough money for his trip to America, made a deal with the captain to shovel coal all the way from Italy to America, got dropped off in Ellis island in New York.

 

Dean Graziosi:

We have the records. With not a dollar in his pocket, could not speak the language. And his grandson gets to do something with you two today like this. Like that, to me, is the american dream, and it's still alive. And I just think some people are looking through the long, wrong lens, or they don't realize that they've been programmed to have a career mindset. Listen, how many amazing ladies are listening right now? Because I was at a woman's conference with 10,000 women, and I asked this, and I didn't realize that a third of them would end up in tears. I said, how many of you have a career mindset? And they're like, I don't think so. And I said, who in here started your business, your career? You couldn't wait.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You got the job. You got accepted. You fell in love with the company. You had ideas. You could innovate. You could create. You wanted to be in the boardroom and share your ideas. And so many times, someone didn't listen to you.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Your team leader, your boss, was intimidated by you, shut down your idea. Shut down your idea. And then finally, you just said, all right, I'll just shut down my innovation side of my life. I'll be quiet. I'll do what I have to do, and I'll get my pension. I don't even know how I said it that day, but a third of the audience started crying and raising their hands. And I said, you don't even realize. You forgot that woman that used to take your kids crayons and doodle the logo of what your new business is going to be.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I said, it's time to wake her up again, because the women, it's back.

 

Kim:

And there's nothing that women can't do. I mean, we are the helpmates.

 

Dean Graziosi:

We are.

 

Kim:

I mean, you don't get me on women. Cause I will get fired. Cause I live with three men, y'all.

 

Dean Graziosi:

It's Tony Robbins.

 

Kim:

Never sit on a clean toilet seat. Never.

 

Dean Graziosi:

It's Tony Robbins and I company. We co founded it, but as of last year, we were 64% women. And the majority of our successful students are women. They are realizing there is no glass ceiling. There are no limits. They have to rely on no one but themselves, and their life experience is their asset. And that's why we want to show people how to unlock.

 

Kim:

You know what's so interesting, I agree.

 

Tony Robbins:

I agree right now is that you look at our business schools. There are more women in business school than men today. There are more women in medical school than men today. And in business, the largest number of new businesses are being started by women. So women have the hunger. A lot of men have lost that hunger, or they don't have a vision anymore or they don't feel valued by society. Unfortunately, I know in that hungry state. And while women can be competitive with each other, they also have a tendency to cooperate at a different level and really coach and support one another.

 

Tony Robbins:

So we find in our community, the women are very often the leaders of those communities. There's some great men in there, too, don't get me wrong, but the women have that hunger. They're the first ones to say, I'm in. I'm scared to death, but I'm in. And then pretty soon, they realize they're not really scared to death. Some people say, I'm so scared. I said, well, are you also excited? And they think for a moment, I go, I am excited. So I said, well, you got a mixture of the two.

 

Tony Robbins:

So let's not talk about being scared. Let's just focus on what to do. Let's just take the next step. You take a baby step and another baby step, but before you know it, all of a sudden your confidence grows because you're not going it based on what you think. I always tell people a belief is a poor substitute for an Experience. That is what China is like. But if you go to China and meet chinese people, you have a different experience. Well, you have a belief about your ability to do something in Business.

 

Tony Robbins:

But in the three days we're going to be with you, one, two, three. It's going to be like step one, step two, step three. Over three days, two and a half, 3 hours a day, you're going to go from, I don't know if this is impossible to oh, my God. I could be in Business right now. Some people during that time will actually start a business during the three days.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yes, they will.

 

Tony Robbins:

They have a business already, and they want to take it to the next level. Both will be happening there.

 

Kim:

Well, and I want to tell everybody listening right now, even, you know, even you women out there that have got, had this dream or had this vision or just don't even know what it is, but, you know, there's something more. This is the kind of event you need to be a part of. Even if you are in Business and you are doing very well, you need this kind of encouragement, this edification. You've got to go and sign up for the event. I'm already signed up. I've signed my whole team up. It's 20 women in our organization, partially free.

 

Tony Robbins:

There's no charge whatsoever. It's totally free. And by the way, you might want to bring somebody else, a Friend with you. You guys can, because you can do this.

 

Kim:

Yeah, we're doing this. We're doing this at a company. We're doing it as a company.

 

Tony Robbins:

It's really fun to do that way.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Dean and Tony, live.com. kim, I know. I'm sure you'll put it in the show notes, but I just want to show you that because FoMo is real. Last year, always after the event, people hit us up because we'll put a million people that will register for this. So literally, a week after, we'll get 20,000 emails and say, hey, can we watch as a replay? There's no replay. Right. We're doing it live. So I'm giving you the URL because I don't want you to have fomo a week after the event, June 13 through the 15th, about 3 hours a day.

 

Dean Graziosi:

And, you know, one more thing I like to say is, sometimes when things are free, Kim, we don't value it as much. You know, I would say, pretend you're paying a $1,000 for this. Write it down. Convince yourself, because if you pay a thousand, you'll show up. You'll show up. You go buy a fresh, new journal. You'll get a pen that works. You'll shut off the distractions.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You'll tell your husband or someone in your life, go watch the kids. This is.

 

Kim:

Mom, shut up.

 

Dean Graziosi:

This is multi temporary. Right? I would take it that serious. Because the rest of your life, living a fulfilled life, is that serious. We don't get a, we don't get a do over at the end.

 

Kim:

Mm mm. We don't. I just love you guys. Okay, before you go, I've got to do something I do with everybody. It's called rapid fire. I'm going to ask you a question. What comes up, comes out. No censorship, just blah.

 

Kim:

Okay, you know, this is the fun part. Here we go. Rapid fire questions. What is your go to coffee order every day? Go.

 

Tony Robbins:

Go to what? Coffee order coffee order coffee.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Tony, you don't drink coffee without that energy.

 

Tony Robbins:

If I didn't drink coffee, it would be scary.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I didn't drink coffee for 53 years. But about twice a week, I have an oat milk latte. Cause my wife makes it, and she hovers over and she puts cinnamon and vanilla in it, and she'll tell me how great it smells. I went 53 years without a cup of coffee. But, yeah, I'll have an oat milk latte couple days a week.

 

Kim:

You better drink it, Dean. Every drop. Okay, here we go. Which books have you read more than once?

 

Tony Robbins:

Oh, my God.

 

Kim:

Tony's three one.

 

Tony Robbins:

I was gonna say, well, man, search for meaning is one of my absolute original favorites. I would also say, you know, as a man thinketh. I mean, I've read those books dozens of times. To give you perspective, I could go on and on. Most books, I'll read more than once. The great ones.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Same here. I love Dale Carnegie's how to stop worrying and start living. Only because it was besides Tony's books, that one I've read. I've probably read three times. And then when I push my kids to read it, I reread it with them. So I would say that one.

 

Kim:

What question do you get asked the most?

 

Tony Robbins:

That's a great question. How do I deal with this? I can remember. I'll tell you a funny story. I can remember, you know, when I started being recognized. And, you know, I did events. And then I had these infomercials in the early days. In the early days, 50 channels. So I was 24 hours a day, 30 minutes, you know, every 30 minutes somewhere in north America.

 

Tony Robbins:

And then so people stopped me, and I want to help them, you know, and so I learned shortcuts. Remember one time I was in this hotel, I was doing a seminar. I'm standing there in the restroom doing the, you know, necessary, and this man starts looking at me, look at me, and all of a sudden he goes, oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're Tony Robbins. I'm suicidal. I need your help. And he turns in the process.

 

Tony Robbins:

I swear to God, true story all over my pants. And I said, I think I can decide. I can help kill you.

 

Kim:

Right.

 

Tony Robbins:

But yeah. How do I transform this? How do you deal with this? That's probably the most common question.

 

Kim:

Well, and Tony, you're not going to get missed. It's like you 7ft six inches tall. I mean, you ain't nobody going. You can't sneak around. Dean, what about you?

 

Dean Graziosi:

One I get a lot is you having that much energy, is it real? But the other, the one that I get the most is. Or I used to get the most. Especially because I had infomercials after Tony. People say, why were you guys at infomercials? Because we were here before the Internet was exist. We were invented.

 

Kim:

Correct.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I don't know what to tell you. It wasn't because of choice. But the one I get a lot is Tony's six seven. I'm five seven on a good day. So I get a lot is, oh, my God, you changed my life. And secondly, I thought you were taller. Literally, like. And what I hate is when they do that when my kids are around, because now both of my kids, my son's just about to pass me and my daughter's taller than me.

 

Dean Graziosi:

So literally when someone says that, if someone's recognizing me, Kim, my daughter will go, they're gonna mention your height. They're gonna mention. I'm like, no, they're not your toes. Anyway, it's a toast.

 

Kim:

You're toast. I mean, you know, do you have teenage kids? Is it teenage age group?

 

Dean Graziosi:

I have teenagers and babies. Yeah, two of each.

 

Kim:

Oh, God, I'm exhausted. Okay, which historical figure would you most want to share the stage with?

 

Tony Robbins:

Thomas Jefferson.

 

Kim:

Ooh, nice.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Wow. You know, tone, we've never talked about it. That's who I would have said.

 

Tony Robbins:

Really?

 

Dean Graziosi:

I geeked out american history? Yeah.

 

Tony Robbins:

Yeah. Okay.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You gotta tell me why we're together, tone. Wait, answer at the same time. Why?

 

Kim:

Yeah, yeah, why?

 

Tony Robbins:

Because of the quality of his thought process that made this country possible. You know, everything from the Declaration of Independence. Also just his influence as a leader, his approach to things is most aligned with about five.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I agree with that. And about five years ago, I geeked out on american history because I didn't study at all in school, so I figured it was time. And I read every book of the founding fathers through a different lens. I read Franklin's and Adams and George Washington for a whole year. I just geeked out on those books. And when you look at the center, Thomas Jefferson was at the center of all of their stories. And secondly, in the background was Benjamin Franklin kind of whispering in their ear.

 

Kim:

Quiet leaders. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Okay. Are our cell phones listening to us?

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yes, 1000%. Let's just talk about baby. Talk about baby carriages for the next ten minutes, and you'll have an ad tomorrow on baby carriages. You don't.

 

Kim:

I think I've just popped up. I think one just popped up. Yeah. I'm just saying like, that. I would totally agree. Okay, what is your kryptonite time?

 

Tony Robbins:

I got? You know, there's just so. That's the only thing that's scarce in my life, you know, so that being able to pick that piece, that's the toughest piece because there's so much. I have five kids and five grandkids. I have a 50 year old daughter and a three year old daughter. Giving idea to give you the extremes. And so my life is full, to say the least. I got 114 companies. I've got my dear friendships.

 

Tony Robbins:

So keeping all that together and being an athlete and doing what I do, that's probably the biggest challenge.

 

Kim:

Well, you're doing it, Dean.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Yeah. I think it resolves revolves around the same thing. I would say. The kryptonite is when I feel like I'm not being my best in each area, being the dad I want to be, especially teenagers and babies and a wife I love and a business I love, and dear friendships. So I think when I feel like I'm letting any of those areas down, it's probably something I still need to work on. It's very. It's stressful to me because I want them all to be balanced and all. All to be growing.

 

Kim:

I love it. All right, favorite junk food. And don't play. Okay, let me just preface and say it has to be really. Don't give me kale chips that have sea salt on. I want real junk food pizza. Okay, what kind, Tony?

 

Tony Robbins:

Any kind. I love pizza.

 

Dean Graziosi:

Oh, God, pizza is so good.

 

Kim:

It's so good.

 

Dean Graziosi:

You got it.

 

Kim:

He picked a salty. You have to pick a sweet.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I pick a sweet. I don't do a lot of sweets, but chocolate, definitely. I'm sweets. Chocolate cream pie. My mother used to make it for me my entire childhood. Like, old school, like, broke, when they used to put the jello packet into the pre made crust and then it would go in the refrigerator and get a skin on the top that everybody thought, gross.

 

Kim:

But I thought, are you sure you're not southern? Are you sure you're not southern? That sounds real southern.

 

Dean Graziosi:

I could not say no to old school chocolate cream pie with cool lip on top. I would eat the whole pot.

 

Kim:

I'd eat the whole pot before it was extra creamy. Just cool whip, period. Just old school cool whip. Okay, I agree. 1000. Yeah.

 

Dean Graziosi:

No, extra creamy. I don't even know when that came out.

 

Kim:

It's, you know, it's Delish. Just trust me on that.

 

Zac:

By the way, the skin is the best. You totally get it. Yeah. People would say the skin is good.

 

Tony Robbins:

I'm clearly missing out. I have never had this.

 

Kim:

Tony, I can make you an old school chocolate cream pump now.

 

Tony Robbins:

They're best friends. I'm counting on it. Kim.

 

Kim:

I'm waiting for my call. Okay. Who is your celebrity crush, Tony?

 

Tony Robbins:

Crush, bro. Crush would probably be Richard Branson from the early days because of all that he accomplished, all he's done, he's been kind of a role model for me, for sure.

 

Kim:

Oh, my God. And my friend Sarah is good friends with him. He's great. Kim.

 

Dean Graziosi:

If you asked me that 15 years ago, I would have said Tony Robbins, but now I take it for granted. Now I take it for granted. I'm not crushing anymore. We're too much proximity.

 

Kim:
