Tony Robbins and Jerry Colonna - The Tim Ferriss Show

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 No. 37 "Tony Robbins on Morning Routines, Peak Performance, and Mastering Money" and No. 373 "Jerry Colonna - The Coach with the Spider Tattoo."

I remember a meditation book called 30 Days to Overcome Guilt by Harper Daniels being helpful.

Losing my faith in Tim Ferris. These ads, "LMNT has no artificial flavoring or ingredients" is straight up false. Also momentous seems to be a horrific supplement company with nightmare quality control issues.. for a product you ingest this is very troublesome.
Curious if he knows this and doesn't care, just wants the ad money or is oblivious. LMNT is very straight forward, please explain where the orange flavor comes from?

It’s unfortunate that Tony is such an evil person, like many you interview unfortunately (but not a majority). Just nature of the sector of people you interview
