Happy Tony's Birthday

I was talking to Doug about dates and upcoming cities we'll be in with John Morgan Seminars. And he said something like, "Oh, look! It's leap year this year. Tony's birthday." Doug worked for Tony Robbins for several years, and that's how we met. Anyway, I don't know if I know anyone else, except my chiro-sister Ruthie, who would remember Tony's birthday.

20 years ago today, I was sitting in a seminar with Tony in NYC. It was his "Mind Revolution" that started with a firewalk on a Friday night and went through the weekend. He used to joke that he wasn't going to get all EST-ish and lock us in the seminar room and not let us go to the bathroom. He didn't do that. He just never gave us any breaks!

Back in those days, he was still teaching straight NLP, having studied with Bandler & Grinder AND Dave Dobson.

Tony used to do this anchoring thing with his watch & tie, so his staff surprised him with a b-day greeting and gave him this. WATCH how you TIE in these new concepts of learning with ease....

Tony had a variety of squirt guns he used. Ooooh, put the sunglasses on, Tony. So Blues Brothers. Ah, good times. Happy Leap Year, & Happy B-day to all you Leap Year babies!

P.S. omg! John just sent me this link on leap year b-days with Tony. :-)
