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

0:08.5

First of all, the reason why I like them is the ingredients. You're actually on. This is a video. No, and that's not why I like them. I like them because, number one, they taste good, but that's not even why. I like the ingredients. They do taste good because they look like they would taste bad. And that's why, first of all. It reminds me of a ginger shot. Let me tell you something. The competition to these things tastes like shit. This actually tastes delicious. And the ingredient are like top shelf and all great for, they're all like adaptogens, neurotropics.

0:41.6

It's actually very good.

0:42.8

Everything in it looks good.

0:43.8

There's a reason why they're like probably the number one.

0:46.4

Who's their biggest competition?

0:47.3

Mental performance shot.

0:48.9

I think ketone IQ is probably their biggest competition.

0:51.1

I mean that tastes.

0:52.0

Well, their new one with caffeine tastes way better. Yeah, but it's like rocket fuel. It tastes terrible. They know what's crazy is the original was 10 times worse. Oh, I know. This tastes much better. The original was like unbearable. Yeah, I know. By the way, this is going to be on the podcast. Are you okay with that? Yeah, that's fine. No, I mean, yeah, I remember I was one of the first 500 people that tried the first one. Uh-huh. And I couldn't even like, I mean, you had to like amp yourself up. I know. And that's why, like, for me, I like something that will actually be part of my day-to-day life, right? Like, if I have to, like, brace myself

1:28.6

to take something, it's probably not the best idea. But something like this, I think actually

1:32.5

tastes really good. And it does keep you focused. So I actually been doing these every

1:38.2

time I do a podcast, like right before. And when I give it to somebody, I tell, I asked them

1:43.1

honestly. I'm like,

2:03.2

tell me the truth. Like, do you actually feel more focus? I asked them off camera, not so they're on the spot. And they're like, actually, I really like them. Can you send me more? Or can I have a few to take with me or whatever? And that's like a true tale sign. I think taste is on, I mean, people, like, people don't think about taste, but I do feel

2:01.9

like if you look forward to taking something, your compliance is much higher. Like gummies, I feel like gummies have taken off in all forms just because like everybody looks forward to a gummy. Yeah, it's 100% more. So even if it's, you know, not, it's like more expensive or whatever, it's like if you take every day. like there's a value in just being consistent. Well, there's a lot of research and data that actually points to if something doesn't taste good, doesn't matter how good it is for you. If it tastes like shit, you're not going to do it for sure long term or consistently. I'm guilty of that. Yeah, I am too. That's why like, or convenient. Or convenient. Well, convenient for sure. I like little things. Little shop. What we do here, we shake it up, boom, boom. This is magic mind. It is great for, not just for your focus and for your brain, but it's just great for energy. And it tastes good. Don't worry. I would never feed you something.

2:52.3

That's my first time to ever actually have this. I've seen it a million times.

2:55.3

He's a virgin. Get taught. I've done this before. Oh, that's much better than it looks.

3:03.9

It does, it's like, it's like green. So you think it's going to be like nasty, but it's pretty good. It's kind of like peach. Yeah, I'm telling you, it's delicious. My husband's obsessed with them. They also make you, it kind of actually sharpens just your overall, like, I don't, it just makes you a little more alert. Need that. I need all the help I can get. Yeah.

3:42.0

Well, this is going to be a long-ass podcast. So I wanted to at least give you something to get you primed and ready. Yeah. All right, let's do it. We did talk to each other for like two hours during hell on the hill that one time. We did. That's how we became friends, actually. We became fast friends. Suffered. We became friends through suffering.

3:43.2

You know why you were suffering?

3:57.9

Because you had a knee problem. Knee surgery. And knee surgery like two weeks before that. Yeah. We talked by the way, not to correct you, it wasn't two hours. We talked for like five hours. That thing was like... No, because at one point you tried to make it, remember? So then I couldn't keep it.
