Summary

Where do you go from failure? The most successful people in the world have recorded massive failures, and for many of them, failure was the greatest influence in their ascent to greatness. Why?

It comes down to perspective; failure is only the end if you choose to see it that way.

Step 1: Make the decision. We all have the power to choose. We can’t control events, but we can choose what to focus on, we can choose what those events mean, and we can choose what to do now. These three decisions control our lives. So it is not the conditions of our lives, but rather the decisions that determine our destiny.

In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, hosts Tony and Mary B. shift the focus to being true, bouncing back, and being all of who you are.

They speak to friend and hero, Siri Lindley. The former 2-time ITU World Champion who just this year was inducted to the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame. She is a Brown University graduate.

Siri has coached a number of Olympic and Ironman athletes to championships, including Miranda Carfare but why we really wanted to have Siri on the podcast was for the chance to listen to her unique life experiences.

In this episode, Siri opens up about fear, suffering, training, triathlons, coaching, recruiting, Neighbors, and love. She explains to Tony and Mary B. how these life challenges ultimately became her greatest gifts.

Siri and Tony help us to understand that to be truly great at anything, you must always start with yourself.

Listen to the podcast and get the message: Be true. Be you. Be brave. Be relentless. Love is love.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Tony Robbins here. Welcome to the second season of our podcast. In fact,
0:10.0	if you're back after last year, welcome back, welcome home. And if you're not, let me tell you
0:14.7	what this podcast is about. I'm obsessed. I hope you are too. I'm obsessed with wanting to find
0:19.2	the answers to what makes the difference in the quality of people's lives. I've always been fascinated to see people that have been given everything. You know, tremendous love in their family, tremendous education, economic advantage. They're looked out for in every way. And oftentimes the people you give the most to are become emotionally or psychologically weak,
0:39.0	not strong. Often they find their self fighting their way in and out of rehab, even though they had
0:43.4	every kind of love and support you can imagine. And then you see the opposite, don't you? You see
0:49.0	people out there that life has just stomped all over who've been abused mentally, emotionally,
0:53.8	physically, sexually,
0:54.7	anything you can imagine. And yet, rather than living the story, which they'd ever be right to do,
1:00.1	something inside of them won't settle. Something inside of them is so hungry, becomes so driven,
1:06.1	because the pain, the disappointment, the frustration doesn't stop them, it drives them. And they create the most extraordinary lives, not only for themselves, but they become an
1:14.8	inspiration to all of us as well.
1:16.8	I'm also equally passionate about business.
1:19.4	And a lot of this, you know, 70, 75% of people that come to my live events are business
1:23.8	owners because I think people who want to live life on their terms are attracted
1:28.6	to what I do because they're looking for what are those edges? And where I found those edges
1:33.0	to help people grow their business 30 to 130% or more, what's got me to be able to coach
1:38.0	multibillionaire clients like the Mark Benny Offs of the world from Salesforce.com or Peter
1:43.2	Goober owns the Golden State Warriors basketball team, the LA Dodgers, you know, it's got 52 Academy Award nominations.
1:49.9	Paul Tudor Jones, one of the top 10 financial traders in the world.
1:53.6	The reason I've got to coach them is because I have found answers from the very best on earth.
1:59.0	I didn't make them up.
