You know, a kid that's really ill, they could have they're going through a divorce. So many things going on for people when you they're just so stressed about things. I was in LA during the fires Tuesday and Wednesday and a bunch of my friends lost their homes in Malibu and Pacific Palisades and brutal. I mean, it's 60 mi. It's the size of Paris that's just gone.
But what's interesting is, you know, when you're in those environments, when you're able to do things within yourself, my own home burned down. I said to him, look, you know, my home burned down. It was years before. I said, I was angry. I was sad. I had all these feelings, but I had three kids there. And I realized I need to set the example for them. What's possible? I have to discipline my disappointment. And so I realized I lost things. A lot of those things I cherish cuz there are memories, but there's still things. Things are replaceable. Family's not. People are not.
What people don't realize is oldest human story is the hero's journey, right? Every culture has it. What is the hero's journey? Your life is ordinary, meaning what you're used to, and then something comes along. It disrupts it massively. Your place burns down. Someone in your family has cancer. I was told I had a tumor in my brain at one point. Somebody dies. Uh, you get robbed. I mean, I don't care how smart you are, how beautiful you are, how spiritual you are, how rich you are, you're going to have extreme stress at some point.
But what I learned is if you can manage through that, what it is is really a call to a new life. I would have never left a Delmare Castle. It was a home I built and castles in Europe and absolute place for my family. But then because it was disrupted, I went on the journey of uncertainty. We built a new home cuz we had to. We met new people. I met some new mentors. I made some new decisions. I fought some new battles. And eventually, if you grow, you slay the dragon. You come home the hero of your life. And you have something to give other people. It's not book knowledge. It's real. And then as soon as you get comfortable, it comes again. I don't care how well you're doing, right? It never stops.
If you're having extreme stress, corny as it sounds, the first key is you're going through hell, keep going. But if you make it through extreme stress and you get the other side, you learn three things. You learn number one just how strong you really are. You don't realize how strong you are until you're tested. And then secondly, you find out who your real friends are, not your Facebook friends, right? Cuz they're the ones that show up.
We all have, right? And then thirdly, you get like an immunity to future challenges cuz like I had a friend that was locked up in North Vietnam for 7 years on a slab where they they chained him to the ground and you got to go to the bathroom and it ran down his back and burned his back. I remember years later the IRS was doing something really ridiculous. So it took him three years to unwind it. They were wrong. He won, but was really painful. And he was barely even stressed. I was like a go if the North Vietnamese can't get me. He said after that nothing can.
Life is always happening for a reason, a higher purpose. But it's our job to find that purpose. In other words, life's happening for me, not to me. It looks like it's happening to me, but it's my job to figure out it's happening for me. So I look back on my childhood, that was for me. It didn't look like it. It didn't feel like it. I look on my father, that was for me.
What you're saying that I mean obviously changing people's perception and trying to get their mindset different in in all your events that you give like you know for that day that they're there the hour the weekend the week whatever it is they're excited they're around an environment that's really helping generate that transformation out of out of their comfort zone right how do you really create this atmosphere to really get them to to make it a longlasting transformation how does that happen
Well, it's interesting because people think it's going to be a pump up and so forth and it certainly I've never been a motivator I've I've always been a strategist, but I do know you need energy to follow through. You know, you have the best tools in the world, but if you're low energy, you're not going to use them, right? So, people see me in an audience with 20,000 people and they're going crazy and like, oh, it's a motivational seminar. I don't need motivation. You don't need a motivation, but you do need to tap into what drives you and everybody is motivated. You might be motivated to eat, right? You know, so that's why you're overweight. So, it's finding that inner drive.
Well, what I do is a conditioning process so that you understand how the nervous system works. And so that's why I've gotten results for some of the greatest athletes, business people, etc. that last. But what's interesting is I always knew what it was. But during COVID, if you can imagine, I'm used to doing stadiums, 15, 20,000 people. And as you know, they shut down London, they shut down LA, they shut down everything. I went and built a studio. And then I was like, okay, I'll reach people in their homes. I would never do that normally because I'm used to a rock and roll concert, but I got to find a way to help people when they're needed. I go to do this and I start to create these results and it's like, wow, this really works.
So then Stanford comes and they call me up one day. This is right before COVID and then during CO they said look you know we had two of our professors who were clinically depressed who came to your date with destiny seminar the six days they're both off all medication they're both fine this is pretty miraculous do you have any studies and I said well I've got millions of graduates and testimonials and so forth and they said no no you know I've done you know I have my documentary if your audience wants to see it on Netflix called Tony Robbins I'm not your guru and then what we do there is you see me doing this seminar for about an hour and a half of what normally ly is 6 days, but you see the people that are suicidal and then we follow up and you see them five, you know, 5 years later or you see somebody that couldn't have a kid or some you see all the changes lasting cuz it's in their nervous system.
But here's what's interesting. Stanford says, "Well, what if we did a study?" I said, "Great. What do you want to study?" They said, "Depression." Cuz now CO's starting to hit. And they said, "Depression's out of control. People are overdos dosing on drugs right now like crazy. Suicides are through the roof. And we're looking for an interesting non-farmaceutical approach to doing this. we'd love to study it. I said, great. What's the meta studies show? You know, multiple studies, what's the average result? And they said 60% of the people who come for therapy andor drugs, meaning psychiatry, the young pro rosag, zolaf, whatever, 60% make zero improvement in their side effects. Zero.
Zero. And they're taking drugs in their system and they've been as all the side effects, including some of the side effects are suicidal thoughts, right? It's just crazy. He said 40% improve and the average improvement is 50%. So, they're half as depressed. Some people get well, but most of them are on drugs forever. And I said, "Well, I know it sounds like hubris, but I think I think we can blow past that result just based on our history." And more importantly, I think you can do that with almost a placebo. And he kind of had a nervous laugh. I said, "Maybe." And I said, "What's the best result you've ever seen cuz I'd like to beat that." And he said, "Well, the best was done 5 years ago at John's Hopkins. They gave people 30 days of psilocybin, magic mushrooms, and cognitive therapy for a month." I said, "Dude, you'd have to get a massive change in somebody's brain for that." He said it is the biggest change in the history of psychiatry. 6 weeks after the treatment, it's a lasting a lasting transformation.
Well, 6 weeks later, 54% had no symptoms whatsoever. There's nothing like it. And it lasted. It it was it changed. They didn't measure them a year later or anything else. It just 6 weeks. I know it sounds like cubis. I know it sounds like overconfidence, but I'm just based on history. I bet we'll beat that sizably, but let's see. So, they set up the test group, you know, the comparison group just like they did the John Hopkins study. And then they did it. no drugs, 6 days, no one-on-one therapy. At the end of 6 weeks, 93% of them had absolutely no symptoms, nothing like it in the history of psychiatry. The 7% that didn't completely solve improved massively. 17% came in with suicidal ideation, constantly thinking about suicide, no suicidal ideiation afterwards, and one-year follow-up showed the end of a year, never seeing me again because of the way they were conditioned. These people had 72% reduction in negative emotions, 51% increase in positive emotions.
So, so the big question is is why is this not being done? Why aren't they okay, I'm not saying go out, do psilocybin every day, but I mean there there has to be some micro doing. I don't know what it is, but something if they if it's that successful and why aren't they promoting this?
Well, the current government as we know, you know, Bobby Kennedy is in there and you know, now you got Dr. Oz who's going to head up, you know, Obamacare and you've got current as of the new transformation the new transformation here. All the assuming they get approved. These are all people that during CO were telling people different than what we were being told. The lies were being told, so they're in charge. But right now, we have a sick care system where the insurance companies, if you study what happens, they don't really want the surgery most time. They want the drugs that they can sell you forever. I'm not being harsh. It's just that's reality.
