Tony Robbins' Speaking Limit
Share
A story about how Tony Robbins manages his live events and the physical limitations of speaking.
"Tony can't actually do two days back to back after 40 years of public speaking. He does day one from 8 AM till 1 AM, with no breaks - you can go to the bathroom but you're missing the action. He's on stage talking to 10,000 people for 14 straight hours.
Then on the second day, his vocal cords are completely shredded so he can't speak. His number two comes up - he's a good public speaker but it's like going from Michael Jordan to BJ Armstrong. This guy just moderates and plays videos of Tony from 10 years ago when he used to do all four days himself. You end up sitting there watching YouTube videos with 10,000 other people while this guy moderates. It's a bizarre experience.
Tony used to do all four days himself back in the day, but now he physically can't maintain that schedule anymore."
