Right, exactly. But that's the thing, man. So those, James Allen, Thoreau, Emerson, I love that stuff. Emerson, we become what we think about all day long. Classic, obviously. And I love the Tony Robbins stuff. Dude, it's so funny. Tony Robbins endorsed my first book, and I never met him. I've been to his events, but I've never actually met him.

But we met through social media, and he endorsed my book through social media. When Twitter first came on, this was like 2008, 2009. Yeah. and I went to follow Tony Robbins, and he had like five followers. So I followed him, he followed me back. If you go to his site today, he follows like 50 people. I happened to be one of them because when he first started, he followed me.

Of course, he got millions of followers, huge fan. So when I was in federal prison in the mid to late 90s, which, by the way, we were there last week. We were in the federal prison last week. I go in on a pretty regular basis and talk to guys. He had the personal power program. I don't know if you remember that. It was a 30-day program he had on – on a cassette.

And the prison library had that program, and you could go in and sign in and get a little cassette player and a set of headphones. And you're supposed to listen to one lesson every day for 30 days. And at the conclusion of each lesson, he says, now do something today that's taking decisive action towards what we talked about, whatever it was. And I would do it.

That freaking program, dude, as simple as it was, it changed everything for me. It just absolutely changed everything for me. So I'm a huge fan of Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey. I mean, Tom Hopkins, who lives here. Yep, the art of the deal.

Last time I talked to his wife, they were in Prescott for the holiday. I used to listen to Tom Hopkins' cassette tapes because my mom was a realtor. Oh, my gosh, dude. I've done a ton of events with him. This was probably 15 years ago. I have a promoter who happened to live in Denver, came to one of my events, and he was a promoter for Tom Hopkins.

And he comes to me and goes, would you like to speak with Tom Hopkins? I'm like, dude, are you kidding me? I love that guy. I spent almost five years traveling with Tom. We would do four events a year. This promoter would go into a town, and he would go hustle up three or four or 500 people to come see Tom Hopkins.

And Tom would allow me to open for him, and I would do my mindset stuff in the morning. Then Tom would come in and do his legendary stuff. And he used to do a boot camp every year here. The last two years he did it, he brought me in to keynote it. Like, that dude was so generous to me. Stephen Covey was the same way.

Stephen Covey's son, Stephen M. R. Covey, who wrote The Speed of Trust, wrote the foreword to my last book, Consistency Selling. Dude, when I read the foreword to it, I cried. He talks about how he learned about me through his dad, his dad telling him the story about me. I mean, you know the craziest thing, Tommy? The most successful guys... are the most generous. People like Tony Robbins.

Tony Robbins endorsed my first book. What could I possibly do for him? Nothing. Stephen Covey, nothing. Tom Hopkins, nothing. Mark Victor Hanson, nothing.
