You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is about the timeless value of Cacao.

It turns out that classic era Maya money in the late 600s and 700s actually did grow on trees,

at least where conditions allowed. Cacao trees grew in Tabasco, Mexico, and a few other places

with human river valleys, heavy rainfall, and protection from sun and wind.

And the Maya rulers at Calact, Moul in Mexico and Tikal in Guatemala collected annual tributes

in Cacao beans, not coffee beans, even though those also grow in the same regions.

Today's guess is someone I literally look up to because he's taller than me and for many other

reasons, none other than Tony Robbins. Number one, New York Times bestselling author entrepreneur

philanthropist. For more than four decades, millions of people have enjoyed his warm fumer and

just transformational power in Tony's business events, his personal development retreats,

which I've had the honor of attending multiple times. He's the nation's number one life in business

strategist who consults and coaches some of the world's top athletes, entertainers,

Fortune 500 CEOs, even presidents of nations. And interestingly, and you might not know this

about Tony, he's the founder or partner in more than 30 companies, 12 of which he actively manages,

and a bunch of different industries including virtual reality, major league soccer,

top resorts and spas, companies with combined annual sales of $5 billion.

And today, Tony's coming on the show, so we can talk about his most recent book called Unshakable,

Your Financial Freedom Playbook, where he talks about how he went from these incredibly scrappy

stories as a young man building his business to this very unusual position of being able to

manage a dozen companies at that level of performance. It's just about unheard of even in the

world of successful business. So we get to pick his brain. Tony, welcome to the show.
