“You have to remember that you are the CEO of your life.”
— Tony Gaskins

Greetings, SuperFriends!

Today we are joined by Tony Gaskins Jr. a celebrity life coach, a bestselling author an international speaker and a serial entrepreneur.

But life wasn't always so amazing for Tony. He struggled very much with a lot of different things throughout his youth: he got kicked off the football team, lost his football scholarship, and found himself, like quite a few of the guests we've had on the show dealing drugs at the age of 18.

But somehow Tony managed to turn his entire life around. At 22 years old he started publishing books. He started speaking and fast forward not that far ahead,Ā Tony was invited to speak on Oprah, Tyra Banks, and many other media outlets, where he started sharing his wisdom and life experience… an absolutely incredible turnaround.

As you'll see in the episode, Tony has so much to share about everything: about coaching and finding the right coach, about how Tony learns, about how to prioritize certain things in your life and set standards for yourself, and everything in between. Ā I'm sure you guys are going to love this episode!

Favorite Quotes from Tony Gaskins:

“I was ignorant to the world around me, so I didn't know my limitations… so I HAD no limitations.”
“The first thing that a person has to do is find different voices. Different people who have different experiences, and have taken the time to share those experiences… so that you can learn what real love is, what a real relationship is…”
“We believe that you have to play that hand that's been dealt you… but you still have to choose your mindset… You still have to choose your standards.”
“We kind of need a coach for any area that we are looking to improve in.”
“I like to see that a person has done what they are teaching. We live in a world of broke financial advisors, of single matchmakers.. I do my due diligence. If you can't implement it in your own life, then something is missing.”
“I hear some people online say ‘I charge $10,000 an hour for consulting,' – I would never pay a human being that!”
“We don't love ourselves enough, and we don't set standards.”
“[Monogamy] is very, very realistic, and it produces the most productive human being possible.”
“When you tell your brain what it will do, it will do just that.”
“Everything I do, although I also make a living, I'm chasing purpose, not profit.”
“Love. Yourself. More.”
