Right there, in front of thousands of people. Listen to the full intervention and hear what happens next — a powerful reminder that love isn't only something we feel.

We all have a story about who we are and why our life has unfolded the way it has. But what happens when that story becomes the very thing holding us back? In this powerful live intervention from the 2024 Date With Destiny event, Tony Robbins works with a woman whose painful childhood experiences shaped the way she saw herself, her relationships, and her future. As the conversation unfolds, Tony reveals how unresolved pain can quietly become part of our identity and why true freedom begins when we stop letting our past define what's possible. Whether your struggles come from heartbreak, disappointment, loss, or even traumatic experiences that have stayed with you for years, this intervention is a powerful reminder that while we can't change our past, we can choose the meaning we give it and the life we create from this moment forward. This isn't just one woman's breakthrough. It's a lesson for all of us in confronting the stories we tell ourselves, letting go of the ones that no longer serve us, and stepping into a future defined not by our history, but by who we choose to become.   If you're ready to create your own breakthrough, experience Tony Robbins live at one of his world-renowned events: Date With Destiny: https://tonyr.co/4aIqhME Unleash the Power Within: https://tonyr.co/40Wohw0 We hope to see you there!

Few thinkers have shaped our understanding of the future as profoundly as Ray Kurzweil. An American inventor, computer scientist, futurist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author, Kurzweil is widely regarded as one of the most influential technological forecasters of our time. For decades, he has accurately predicted many of the innovations that now define modern life, from mobile computing and artificial intelligence to digital assistants and large language models often years before they entered the mainstream. In this special conversation, Tony Robbins sits down with Ray Kurzweil in San Francisco to explore one of the most important questions facing humanity: What happens next? Together, they examine the accelerating pace of artificial intelligence, the path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the rise of autonomous agents, the future of work and education, breakthroughs in healthcare and longevity, and how these technologies may transform society over the coming decade. Kurzweil explains why his long-standing prediction of AGI by 2029 now appears increasingly conservative, why the next few years may bring more change than any period in human history, and how humanity may ultimately merge with the very technologies it creates. Whether you're excited, skeptical, inspired, or concerned about the future of AI, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the leading minds who helped foresee it. The future is arriving faster than most people realize. This episode won't just change how you think about what's coming next, it may help you prepare for it.

In honor of Mother's Day, we invite you into this deeply heartfelt conversation between Byron Katie and Sage Robbins — a moving exploration of motherhood, presence, healing, and the complicated, beautiful love shared between mothers and daughters. Introduced by Tony Robbins, this episode is more than a conversation — it is a living experience of "The Work," Byron Katie's transformative method of self-inquiry that has helped millions of people find freedom from anxiety, grief, fear, stress, and emotional suffering. After spending nearly, a decade trapped in severe depression and despair, Byron Katie experienced a life-changing awakening in 1986 that completely transformed the way she understood suffering. From that experience came "The Work," four simple yet profound questions designed to help people question the stressful thoughts that keep them stuck. In this deeply personal episode, Sage vulnerably shares how discovering Byron Katie's work transformed her own life during a painful season marked by repeated miscarriages, fertility struggles, grief, and being told she had less than a one-in-a-million chance of ever becoming a mother. But at the emotional center of this conversation is Sage's relationship with her mother, who is currently living with dementia. Rather than simply discussing "The Work," Byron gently guides Sage through a real-time inquiry surrounding an emotional experience with her mother — unpacking fear, sadness, guilt, projections, and the pain so many people experience while caring for aging parents or witnessing someone they love slowly change. What unfolds is raw, heartbreaking, beautiful, and ultimately freeing. As Byron guides Sage through the process, pain begins to give way to presence, clarity, grace, and even joy — revealing how much love and connection can be missed when we become trapped inside fearful thoughts. For anyone navigating caregiving, grief, aging parents, anxiety, loss, or the emotional complexity of family relationships, this conversation may feel deeply personal. And for anyone celebrating, missing, grieving, honoring, or reflecting on a mother this Mother's Day — this episode is a reminder to slow down, become present, and truly see the people we love. It is also a beautiful tribute to Byron Katie's extraordinary legacy and the decades-long friendship she has shared with Tony and Sage Robbins.

What if the real reason your business isn't growing… is you? In this powerful Business Mastery intervention, Tony Robbins works with Pixie, an entrepreneur who believes her biggest hurdle is a lack of working capital but Tony quickly reveals the real issue has nothing to do with money. What starts as a conversation about growing her business becomes a deep dive into the hidden emotional patterns holding her back: fear, control, loneliness, and unresolved wounds that are affecting both her leadership and her life. While this begins in a business setting, the truth is this conversation applies to anyone who has ever felt stuck personally or professionally. As the intervention unfolds, it becomes clear that the real chokehold on growth isn't capital, it's psychology. Tony challenges the fear of losing control, the struggle to trust others, and the constant need to prove your worth that silently sabotages even the most successful leaders. This isn't just about entrepreneurship. It's about identity. It's about relationships. It's about letting go. It's about becoming the person capable of building the life and business you want. Tony breaks down the belief systems and hidden fears that keep leaders from reaching the next level.  Please enjoy! Want to experience transformational growth for your own business?

Why does the person you love most suddenly feel impossible to reach? In this powerful talk from the Tony & Sage Robbins 2025 Platinum Partners Relationship Event in Tulum, Mexico, renowned energy medicine pioneer Donna Eden and psychologist David Feinstein explain what's really happening in your body during conflict and why you can suddenly feel like you're on completely different wavelengths than your partner.  It's not just communication.  When stress hits, your body shifts into a survival response, and in that moment, you lose access to the part of your brain that helps you think clearly, listen, and connect. That's why small moments can escalate so quickly… and why connection can break down almost instantly. What makes this different is their lens of energy, how your internal state directly shapes the way you show up, react, and communicate in real time. Throughout this session, Donna and David share simple, practical ways to shift that state, so you can interrupt the pattern, regulate your response, and reconnect even in the middle of conflict. If you've ever felt stuck in the same arguments or patterns in your relationship, this will change the way you understand what's going on, and give you tools you can use immediately. Please enjoy!

In this episode of The Holy Grail of Investing, Christopher Zook and Mark Wade sit down with former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and Co-Founder of The Chertoff Group, Chad Sweet, for a conversation on risk, global security, and the shifting investment landscape. They share firsthand insights from leading through moments like 9/11, how governments and organizations make decisions with incomplete information, and why "connecting the dots" is critical in both national security and investing. The discussion also explores how geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity threats, and emerging technologies like AI are reshaping where capital is flowing and why the line between government and commercial risk is disappearing.

Have you ever loved someone deeply… but still felt like you were drifting apart? At Tony and Sage Robbins' 2023 Platinum Partners Relationship Event in Maui, Jacquie and Fabio stepped forward after nearly 10 years together, a shared daughter, and a relationship on the edge of collapse. Jacquie felt disconnected and afraid of losing the future she wanted. Fabio felt trapped in what Tony calls "the tunnel", the place where a man feels like he's failing in every area of life. Tony reveals a truth many couples never understand; when fear takes over, love doesn't disappear, it gets buried beneath pain, past experiences, and self-judgment. Through a raw and emotional intervention, Tony and Sage help them see the deeper truth behind their struggle and rediscover the love that brought them together. Because the strongest relationships aren't the ones without problems… they're the ones where two people choose to fight for each other through the tunnel. This isn't just a relationship intervention. It's a lesson in emotional courage, devotion, and what it means to truly love another human being. Watch the moment their story changes forever.

In this powerful Business Mastery conversation, Tony Robbins sits down with Anastasia Soare — founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills — to break down what it really takes to build a billion-dollar brand from nothing. Anastasia escaped Communist Romania in 1989 with no money, no English, and a three-year-old daughter. She arrived in Los Angeles at 31, started her business at 40, and went on to build Anastasia Beverly Hills into a $3 billion global company while creating an entirely new category in the beauty industry.  In Part 2 of this conversation, Tony and Anastasia go deeper into the mindset behind that success — the 12 years she spent traveling to Nordstrom stores every weekend to prove her concept, the Golden Ratio technique that revolutionized eyebrow shaping, and the relentless commitment to quality that allowed her brand to stand out in a crowded market.  They also discuss how to survive market shifts, adapt during crises like COVID, compete when others copy your success, and why the problems you face as an entrepreneur are often proof that you're growing.  The episode concludes with a powerful live Q&A where Tony is joined by both Anastasia and Spartan founder Joe De Sena. Together they answer raw questions about grit, leadership, raising resilient children, and staying hungry even after you've achieved success.  This isn't just a beauty story. It's an immigrant story. It's a story about starting late — and refusing to quit. As Anastasia says: "If you believe in your product, don't you ever give up."  If you've ever thought, it's too late to build something extraordinary — this conversation will change your mind.

In Part 1 of this Business Mastery 2026 conversation, Tony Robbins sits down with Joe De Sena, Founder & CEO of Spartan, the global endurance brand that's pushed millions of people to test their limits across 40+ countries, to unpack the mindset, resilience, and decision-making required to build a global business from the ground up. Joe shares how nearly losing everything during the pandemic reshaped his leadership, why "fire, ready, aim" beats waiting for the perfect plan, and how deliberately choosing discomfort builds the mental toughness required to lead at scale. Together, Tony and Joe explore why most people quit before they ever begin, how to iterate your offer until the market responds, and why mission-driven leadership outperforms motivation when the pressure is on.  This is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders — and for anyone who wants to build something meaningful without waiting for ideal conditions! *Want to experience transformational growth for your own business? Join Business Mastery, happening virtually and in person from August 12–16, 2026, to learn directly from Tony Robbins and world-class faculty.  *Secure your spot to Business Mastery here: https://tonyr.co/4cB5IkU

In this episode of The Holy Grail of Investing, Christopher Zook sits down with Joe Lonsdale, a leading investor at the intersection of AI, defense, and national competitiveness, for a timely conversation on what is real (and what is hype) in the AI revolution. Joe shares why he views AI as a major industrial revolution driven by productivity, not an "existential" technology destined to replace civilization. He breaks down the AI value chain, from energy and chips to data centers, models, software infrastructure, and the applications delivering real economic value, along with where he sees the best risk-reward opportunities. The conversation expands into the strategic stakes of the AI race, including how defense, space, energy, and critical minerals fit together and what it takes to build world-class companies in sectors shaped by both innovation and policy.

In this powerful live conversation, Michael Singer—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered—explores what happiness really is, why so many people struggle to sustain it, and how to experience a deeper, more consistent sense of joy in everyday life. Recorded live in front of an intimate audience at Tony Robbins and Sage Robbins' exclusive 2024 Platinum Partners Happiness Event in Abu Dhabi, this talk goes beyond inspiration and into practical wisdom.

Throughout the session, Michael challenges common beliefs about success, passion, and fulfillment, offering a radically different perspective: happiness is not about getting what you want, but about learning how not to block the joy that's already within you. He invites listeners to question the habits, reactions, and inner patterns that quietly steal happiness—and shows how living with greater awareness can transform even the most ordinary moments of life. This conversation was recorded live at Tony & Sage Robbins' Platinum Partners Happiness Event, where a select group of global business leaders and entrepreneurs gather for deep personal growth, connection, and insight.
