Our first guest of the Greatest Hits week, Tony Robbins, also happens to have been our very first guest on the show. He is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the nation’s #1 life and business strategist. He’s called upon to consult and coach some of the world’s finest athletes, entertainers, Fortune 500 CEOs, and even presidents of nations.

Through the Anthony Robbins Foundation and his matching funds, Tony feeds 4 million people per year in 56 countries. He has also initiated programs in more than 1,500 schools, 700 prisons, and 50,000 service organizations and shelters.

I had an opportunity to speak with Tony back in January as he was in the midst of his media tour for his #1 NY Times Best Selling book Money: Master the Game. 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom.

Now you’ve probably heard Tony speak at length about his book. His media tour was extremely comprehensive but we talked about things you may not know about this man.

Three Takeaways from the Interview:

• The moment in Tony’s life that shaped, not only his financial perspective, but his entire philosophy on life.
• We learn his most effective ritual that helps him to make smart financial decisions and his very expensive guilty pleasure that allows him to save time and, in effect, money.
• Tony also answers some of your questions about how to achieve goals and overcome fear of failure.

One of my favorite quotes from the interview: “The message I wanted people to get is, it’s not about money, it’s about freedom.” –Click to Tweet
