Expand Your Identity | The Tony Robbins Podcast (feat. Sage Robbins and Mary B.)
Tony Robbins Podcast DailySummary
Tony Robbins emphasizes the significance of identity in shaping human behavior and personal change. He explains that identity is formed by the beliefs individuals hold about themselves, which in turn influence their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Robbins asserts that the strongest force in a person's personality is the need to remain consistent with their self-definition. This can lead to positive or negative identities, where individuals may label themselves based on past behaviors, such as identifying as a procrastinator or a smoker.
Robbins introduces the concept of questioning and redefining one's identity, encouraging listeners to consider how their self-perceptions may limit their potential. He discusses the importance of expanding one's identity beyond societal labels and expectations, suggesting that individuals often confine themselves to outdated definitions formed long ago. The conversation also touches on the pressures faced by women in defining their identities amidst multiple roles and expectations, highlighting the need for a more expansive understanding of self.
The dialogue further explores the idea that true identity transcends external labels and societal conditioning. Robbins and his guests advocate for a deeper inquiry into the essence of who we are, beyond the identities we adopt. They encourage listeners to embrace a more inclusive perspective that recognizes the interconnectedness of all individuals, ultimately fostering a sense of unity and shared humanity.
Show Notes
In this special VIDEO episode of The Tony Robbins Podcast, you’ll hear from Tony Robbins, his wife Sage Robbins, and podcast host Mary B., as they discuss the most important tool for creating lasting change: IDENTITY.Uploaded 15-11-22Have you ever asked yourself, why did I try to make a change but not succeed? Often, it’s “how” we define ourselves that can lead to either our success or stagnation. As Tony notes, “The most powerful force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves.” In fact, after 45 years of working with people in 195 countries – from the most successful to the most challenged – Tony believes that the single most important element in understanding what drives a person is to understand how they identify themselves. Identity is simply the culmination of the beliefs that shape how we perceive ourselves. These beliefs control how we think, feel and interact with the world around us. They also influence what we decide to do (and not do) in our own lives. Therefore, as Sage Robbins explains, what we put after “I am” is something we must always be mindful of. By the end of this conversation, we hope you’ll have the tools and inspiration to update – and upgrade – your own sense of identity. Maybe it’s time to expand it as you move toward a life of growth. Or perhaps remove some of those labels that might be limiting you. 00:00:00 - Intro00:00:10 - Introduction by Tony Robbins – The Power of Identity00:00:50 - Definition of Identity00:02:55 - The downside to identifying oneself00:03:29 - How attaching the words "I am" to something can turn into a belief00:05:53 - People are not their behaviors00:08:48 - Identity is the controlling force in life00:14:48 - Who am I beyond external identities? 00:16:55 - Mary B. begins with Tony Robbins trivia: What is Tony's teaching on identity?00:17:51 - "The strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves." – Tony Robbins00:19:06 - Our behavior is not our entire identity00:22:23 - Expanding our identity00:24:27 - Sage discusses her experience in Dubai 00:28:41 - Sage offers a political identity anecdote 00:32:22 - Questioning our own labels00:35:52 - Mary discusses the concept of "chunking"00:38:00 - "Life is an unlearning of who I thought I was." - Sage Robbins00:43:39 - Albert Einstein and widening one's “circle of compassion”00:46:51 - Who am I?

Where is the economy is today – is it growing? Flat? Declining?Uploaded 15-10-19What about YOUR economy – your personal investments, your nest egg? How safe is it, and how likely it is to grow at the rate you want it to? When you think about your current investments, how do you feel? Secure, or are you half-panicked?For many, the recession of 2008 still lingers. Those who suffered are waiting, white-knuckled, holding on to their portfolios and still wondering what to do next.

And how can you start to take a more proactive, confident approach to your portfolio?When Tony wrote Money Master the Game, he had the unique privilege of sitting down with some of the most successful, masterful investors and financial gurus of all time – including the legendary Ray Dalio.Ray founded the investment management firm Bridgewater Associates in 1975 out of his two-bedroom New York City apartment. Four decades later, Bridgewater has grown to be the largest hedge fund in the world, managing over 160 billion dollars, and making more money for its investors than any other hedge fund in history. Dalio himself has appeared on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world, as well as the Bloomberg Markets list of the 50 most influential people. And in Money Master the Game, Ray explains his view on what it means to create a balanced portfolio. He even revealed the exact percentages of a simple portfolio that he believes will protect you from the dips and even the dives in the market.But now – as Ray nears retirement, he has made the decision to share even more of the systems and strategies that have brought him such massive success in his deeply personal book Principles: Life and Work.Tony recently sat down with Ray to discuss just why Ray felt so inclined to share his wisdom with the world and why Principles is an absolute must-read for everyone – whether you’re in the financial industry or not. And in this episode of the podcast, you will hear from Tony and Ray as they discuss the evolution of Ray’s career, the catastrophic mistakes he made that almost destroyed everything he built, and how the lowest points in his life taught him his biggest lessons.
