Video: Tony Robbins Clip from IEG Conference

Posted by Jason on March 17, 2009 · 1 Comment

So you might be thinking: “What exactly does Tony Robbins have to do with sponsorship, and why did he speak at IEG’s conference?” Though I’ve seen a number of Tony Robbins videos online and think he’s a great guy, I was wondering the same thing before I heard him speak last Monday. For four hours, Tony had everyone listening, engaged, and, at times, on their feet and dancing [...]
