We've all been given the gift of being human, which gives us the beautiful capacity to live, to love, to grow and to give. We have the gift of drive, the insatiable hunger to succeed. We have the gift of love, the unlimited power to care for and connect with others with our fullest hearts. And we have the gift of consciousness, the unique ability to choose our thoughts and to live in a beautiful state. Even our problems are gifts – at times, they are the ultimate gift, because they give us the ability to broaden our perspective and discover parts of ourselves that have lay dormant for so long. In the Force for Good season of The Tony Robbins Podcast, we're exploring the 10 gifts of life. You’ll hear Tony explain each gift, and stories of true heroes that illustrate how they show up in real life.

Jenny Fleiss created Rent the Runway, a company now valued at $1 billion, in the wake of the most severe economic recession the United States has seen since the Great Depression. When everyone else was panicking in 2008 and 2009, Jenny and co founder Jennifer Hyman saw an opportunity. The problem they were trying to solve was simple enough: Looking into your closet and realizing you don’t have anything to wear to an important event, like a wedding, but don’t have the budget to buy something new. So they innovated, and created an entirely NEW way to shop by allowing women to rent designer clothing, online, for a fraction of what it actually costs.  Today, the rental, or sharing economy is booming – companies like WeWork, REI, and Zipcar make it possible for us to experience something, without the cost of ownership. But to put this in perspective, nothing like this existed at the time.  Jenny shares how she and her co founder got Rent the Runway up and running – and how they grew the business to where it is tod

Mike Tyson is a household name – you might know him as the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in the world, or maybe by his cameo in the movie The Hangover.

His attitude toward growth and his deeply felt gratitude for all the gifts of his life have led him to THRIVE in the face of unthinkable adversity (and, at times, in the aftermath of his own disastrous decision-making).  But how? How does the once self-proclaimed “baddest man on the planet” transform into the Mike Tyson of today – someone focused on creating balance, mindfulness and a strong spirit? How does “Iron Mike Tyson” become the man who sees every adversity as a beautiful gift? Get to know the real Mike Tyson on this episode of the Tony R

Comedian. Actor. Writer. Author. Producer. Network owner. Those are just a few titles that Kevin Hart has on his resume, but his aspirations don’t stop there. By the time he’s 45, Kevin plans to add business mogul to his growing list of accomplishments, joining other entertainers like Oprah Winfrey and Lebron James.  Perhaps what sets Kevin apart from other comedians and actors is that he is more than just an entertainer for hire.
