Tony Robbins is an electric public speaker.
For the past 30 years, people have paid hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars each to attend one of the performance coach's high-energy seminars.
In addition to personally coaching powerful people like investing legend Paul Tudor Jones and President Bill Clinton, celebrities can often be found in his audience.
Oprah Winfrey said that Robbins' Unleash the Power Within event was "one of the most incredible experiences" of her life, and Al Gore was in the front row of Robbins' "Why we do what we do" TED Talk, which has now been viewed more than 25 million times online between TED's site and YouTube.
