Tony Robbins, right? He's way too animated. I'm like, who taught him? And I find out this guy, Jim Rohn, started doubling down on all Jim Rohn content. And I was like, oh, well, this makes sense. Tony's talking about the same things Jim talked about. And then he learned from this guy, Earl Shoaff, connecting all these puzzle pieces. But for whatever reason, I resonated with Jim Rohn. And I remember him saying, the only thing you leave behind are your pictures and your journals. And a lot of like my philosophies and thoughts kind of came from that early on programming of just like how to think and how to speak with people and what's important and what's not important. ¡Muy bien!
