Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.

Hello and welcome back to another solo episode of Habits and Hustle where I'm sitting with my

foil, Shawnee. Welcome. I wanted to really unpack this notion and idea of self-rejection.

Self-rejection is something, I feel like I've been talking about it a little bit more recently

I speak about it in my book, Bigger, Better, Boulder.

And I really wanted to highlight this, this whole philosophy and this
