That's one thing I even tell my students is you have to go all in on it and you can't just dabble in it.

I see a lot of people, they just dabble, they get a little bit excited in the beginning because it's a new thing and everything like that.

But then the motivation goes away and then the real work starts and they give up and it's like you can't rely on motivation to be successful.

So it was with intention. Really, you joined the mastermind with full intention of succeeding from it and then when you failed, you used that to almost put a chip on your shoulder.

You failed and was like, well, the heck with that. I'm going to prove them wrong. I don't fail. I'm Robby Blanchard.

And so was it the education in the mastermind that changed your life? Was it the people in the mastermind or was it just the fact alone that you invested this large sum of money and it made you

accountable?

$40 million. Sounds like a pretty fun number, right? Okay, so we have a guest today that I'm going to tell you you're probably going to see us go back and forth and

joust and have a good old time because we're actually friends. I know all his deepest darkest secrets. I know where all the bodies are buried and I'm going to bring them all out today on the podcast.

No, I'm kidding. He's just a really freaking good guy. I don't know how to explain him. We ended up connecting a few years ago and I'm going to tell the funny story of how he connected.

But just so I can connect that 40 million number back. That's what, you know, now I haven't looked at his records and substantiated it. I'm taking his word for it. Okay, but he's never lied to me before.

But that's how much he says he's done in total sales between all this stuff online in the last three years. Wow. You know what he's doing before that? He went to gym.

Like I find that fascinating. I just I think that's interesting. So we're going to talk about all of that and have one from a gym owner to an online business and, you know, what are the life lessons he's learning that and I think today, even if you don't have an online business, even if you don't own a gym, I think you're going to get a lot out of the episode every time I talked to this individual, I learned something, I get inspired by something, but the first way we met officially was 2019, like, end of 29. No, yeah, we're on there. We got connected virtually. I don't know.

How somehow we had an event coming up early 2020, it's called webinar, it was literally five or six days before the big lockdown happened that we did the event a couple months before the event. I messaged him and I said, Hey, we have sponsorship opportunities at this event.

Would you like to sponsor and he was like, yes, I'm in. I'm like, what? Like, don't you want to know how much? Don't you want to know details? Don't you want to know anything? He's like, nah, man, I'm in.

And today, just today happened to be on a related to a different matter. This is why I said, every time I talk to him, I learn, I get inspired, my mind expands.

We were sharing voice notes on Facebook and he said something. He's like, man, he's talking about someone else. He's like, this is me. I'll just jump on it because man, one thing I've learned as an entrepreneur is when you got opportunities, you got to jump on them.

And I was like, whoa, like, it really, it related me back to that first conversation we had kicked off our friendship because I found the fact that he didn't ask any questions and just jump to find the fascinating in my 20 years.

Even I don't do that. I haven't really met many people that do it. And since then, we've done a lot of business together. We've become friends. We've hung out and it's been an honor. So ladies and gentlemen, help me welcome to the Onyx single show. Mr. Robby Blanchard. Robby, what's up?

Onyx, what's going on, man? Good to see you.

Good to see you too. I can see your head getting bigger and bigger as I introduce to you there, man. I can not physically see it.

I'm kidding. No, I meant every word. You are, I love working with you. And I have seen, you know, I always talk about this one thing, Robby. Tony Robbins. I always tell this Tony Robbins story from like 17 years ago. I ended up in a room somehow where like, I'm going to meet Tony.
