Tony Robbins

And most people don't read.

But it started for me.

I grew up in a pretty tough environment.

I was born in downtown LA.

I had four different fathers.

I had a very powerful father.

Mom, who I love dearly, has since passed.

Beautiful soul.

She created a lot of my success to her.

But also when she drank alcohol and took prescription drugs, she was a different person.

Very violent.

I have a younger brother, younger sister.

So I really became a practical psychologist in my youth, learning how to manage her emotions in her states and how to really get things done.

and um and then probably the thing that changed my life the most though was when i was 11 years old my fourth father and he got fired from his job and it was thanksgiving we had no money and no food when i say no food we had crackers and peanut butter but you know not a thanksgiving dinner which kind of depressing and my parents were fighting and

you know, saying things you can never take back.

And I was trying to make my brother and sister not hear it.

And my life was changed because someone came to the door.

I opened it, big guy, two bags of groceries in his hand and a frozen turkey uncooked in a pan on the ground.

He'd obviously carried in and sat down.

He said, is your father here?
