Secrets of Sales, Influence and Success ...

Jeremy Miner
About this episode

Ever feel like you should be further ahead in life? In this episode, Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins’ longtime business partner who has built 14 companies generating over $1B, shares why self-education beats the ignorance tax, how to sell as service, and the one hook that turned a flop into $100M.

We dive into sales as a moral obligation, why money truly solves problems, and the difference between persuasion and lasting influence. If you want to collapse decades into days, this conversation will shift how you think about success, impact, and growth.
