Some people's expectations their belief systems are, life should be taken care of me.

I gotta show people that you need to deliver something to life,

because as long as you're waiting for somebody to take care of you, then you're always the victim,

you're always waiting. It's not about getting the goal. It's about who you become and pursuit of it.

Wait, that's his voice. It's like so creepy. That's his real voice. Don't believe. I feel like he's putting on an act.

I swear, that's like his signature. That's like what someone with vocals,

fry surgery sounds like. It does, but he does vocal exercises to maintain that sound. He's a monster.

This is Sounds Like a Cult. A show about the modern day cults, we all follow.

I'm Issa Medina, a comedian and documentarian, and I'm Amanda Montel, an author and linguist.

Every week here on the pod, we choose a different group from the cultural zeitgeist.

Try and answer the big question. This group sounds like a cult, but is it really?

Hey everyone, really quickly before we get into the episode, you might have seen this is our last

episode of season one. We are so appreciative of all the support, every listener, all the DMs and

suggestions. And we're going to be launching a season two very soon, but in order to do that,

we launched a Patreon because we really need some outside production support. So you can go to

Sounds Like a Cult.com to check out the different tiers, the different perks depending on how loyal a culty

really are. Thank you so much for everything so far and onto the episode.

This week we are going to be talking about the cult of Tony Robbins.

Tony Robbins, the self-help blowhard, sorry I'm not giving you that out of myself, but yeah.

So we're talking about this self-help guru who is worth $600 million.

Issa, do you want to give a little background on this guy?

Yeah, for those of you who don't know who Anthony J Robbins is.
