Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
On today's podcast, I have somebody, John, by the way, that I have been dying to get on the show because of who he is and what he's done and all the things in between. We have John Mackey, who is the, was the, is the founder and CEO, was the CEO of Whole Foods, a place that I've been obsessed with for, I don't know, 25 years of my life. And he's on today.
We're talking about all the things about Whole Foods, Amazon, his new project, Love Life. And I'm really happy to have you.
I'm happy to be here. Thanks for inviting me.
Oh, my gosh. This is my dream come true. Because the amount of times I've... I've said to people, the one person I think would be really interesting to interview is a guy who founded Whole Foods since I'm like spending half of my life and most of my paycheck, as you know, at Whole Foods. On this show, by the way, we do healthy shots on here, not alcoholic shots. So we do these magic minds.
Are you cool with that?
You want me to do a shot? That's what you're saying? Yeah.
I want you to do a shot with me. They're healthy, though.
Matcha, ashwagandha, passion fruit. It looks like it's got lion's mane, cordyceps. All right. Let's do it.
