Breakthrough With Tony Robbins
Do we need another reality show? You may like this one. Coming very Soon! NBC has picked up eight episodes of a new reality series starring Tony Robbins.
The as-yet untitled show (tentative title: “Breakthrough with Tony Robbins“) will follow Tony Robbins as he takes participants and helps them face personal challenges; the pilot, for example, focused on someone who was a lifelong stutterer — and who, by the end of the episode, was speaking in front of a public audience.
If you love the reality series The Biggest Loser, then you may like who is behind Breakthrough with Tony Robbins. The series is being produced by Reveille, the company behind NBC hit and transformational reality series “The Biggest Loser.” Go here for Breakthrough With Tony Robbins Casting Call.
The announcement was made by Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios. He indicated that in these tough times, this new series will offer complete life transformations to people who deserve a brand new start, and there’s no one better suited to assist people in making positive change happen than Tony Robbins.
“The opportunity to work with Tony Robbins is a once-in-a-lifetime dream both personally and professionally. Making television shows that will change people’s lives for the better is the hallmark of Reveille and now is the time for Tony to help people on a mass broadcast scale,” said Howard T. Owens, Managing Director at Reveille. “Tony is a larger-than-life personality, who will deeply touch audiences in his first network television series.”
Robbins, who has dedicated himself to giving through both his work and philanthropic endeavors, says the show is designed to inspire people to find the tools to change their own lives, but to also reach out and help others as well.
For each segment, Robbins will create a 30-day program for the individual to get their life back on track. Cameras will capture that evolution throughout the month, documentary-style.
“My goal is to not make this the Tony show, but to put the focus on the people who are transforming,” Robbins said.
Segments will also feature some of Robbins’ friends, such as Quincy Jones and Donna Karan, as they spend time mentoring people.
Robbins said he had been pitched several TV ideas through the years, but most were of the daytime TV talk variety. When Reveille came calling, the company’s success with “Biggest Loser” gave him hope that there was an audience for something more life-affirming.
“I want to do something that has impact, something real and raw,” he said.
Robbins noted that some auds know him because of his infomericals — and that “you’re known by the company you keep, and I’m next to the spray-on tan guy.” As a result, Reveille and NBC are making sure that the primetime show will look “radically different,” Telegdy added.
“This is not an infomercial for any of Tony’s methodologies,” Telegdy said. “But the reason why Tony makes a lot of money is the tools he sells are good, and he’s going to be unpacking a lot of those skills in broadcast TV for free.”
Robbins will exec produce along with Reveille’s Howard T. Owens, and Mark Koops. Bruce Beresford-Redman is also an EP. Meanwhile, Robbins said his regular business and foundation work will continue.

I want to be on the show, I am a college grad, single mother, ACOA, and trying to recoverfrom my co dependent tendencies. I have lost my focus in life.
I lost a son to SIDS nearly three years ago, then lost my dad a year later. I am a mess, but I am ready to deal with the losses now at 42. Please help me. 732 216-5736
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Tony -
I am so glad to see you step into the moment and support any effort to expand the reach of your message. I have had a number of conversations lately on this basic theme; “everyone is waiting for things to return to “normal,” what if we have just witnessed a transition worldwide related to business, the environment, and the politics – the conclusion is that this is the “new normal.”
We are being presented with a unique opportunity to create BIG lives and as technology shrinks the world, we can impact thousands with a little effort and millions with a large one.
Let’s assume for the moment that this premise is correct and that being said, how would one act differently? The message and concepts that you have taught for decades are completely relevant today and perhaps needed now more than ever. We have the power to create anything we set our minds and heart to manifest and witnessing the “how to” through your program is a great use of time in front of the television.
I am excited to see the show and wish for you every success!

I am so excited for you and for the potential this has to dramatically alter the consciousness of those who watch and the lives of those who are inspired to change.
I found your message 2 years after 9/11 when I lost 7 dearest friends who part of the core of my life. My life had been stagnating and I knew there had to be more. With your help, guidance and tools I live today a remarkable like.
Thank you for your work and your service to humanity and I cannot wait to watch the show and see the transformational energy this show will impart.
Blessed be!
Hey Tony,
You seem like such a really cool guy.
ok you are a really cool guy! The role modelling thing is so true, people who set an example are so inspiring, and its so much easier to learn that way than figuring it out oneself, I was very sorry to hear about your tumor, but in a way… kind of happier, cause of what the awareness of the finiteness of life for someone like you could mean to so many people whose lives you are dedicated to helping, and emphasizing to me that, as you say.. money isn’t the point.
Right, so, I don’t know what I’m doing, how would I programme myself into getting it right? So no matter what I did it just would be right, I know I’m supposed to be doing my assignments, how does one make yourself see the world and your place in it in the right way?Like you said you inspired a pimp! I could know what I want and etc etc but how do I know that its good…….. ok I’ll make myself more clear, I’m an actress and used to putting myself into the shoes of many people really seeing what they see or trying to, only then I feel I perhaps may tend towards that way of being. How can I bounce back to a safe place? If I played a dangerous character or angry character how do I pull back to a reference point?
I dunno, I don’t really know what I’m doing. I suppose perhaps the problem is that the reference point is all over the place, but I’m scared of doing things sometimes cause I think God I’m not safe, so then I’m stuck, but unwilling to move forward with that type of mindset (which is for the best interests of people)and yet I think well maybe the reason I try to understand why undesireables are the way they are is cause I don’t like those people being left behind, like its unfair or something so I kinda offer myself up to join them, and there’s so much inequality in the world particularly among men and women and where sexuality is concerned but especially in foreign countries, and it’s so unfair that some must suffer so much or don’t have equal chances through no fault of their own. So then I’m like… are men and women equal? I look at men and think they’re so strong, we havn’t had a female God… (that I’m aware of) and most of the biographies I’ve come across are from men.. are we really equal, and I know we are but I’m not truely convinced so I see myself perhaps acting more like a man to be more of a woman, and how do I know he wont cheat, its so common! How does one have pride and respect in oneself and not need anyone else and know how to trust without thinking twice about it, and seeing people who are wrong as people who are wrong without trying to honour their perspective for example seeing an old man lust after a teenager without thinking God its so unfair he wont be able to have any of that again, is it really wrong? I’d prefer to just know instantly it was wrong and gross and move on, well I mean I assume that’s the right way of being, but oh no, Mairead has to make sure and so she dips into this persons world and tries to figure out well how would other men judge him?How do I know its wrong and not just unfair?so then out of my sympathy for these people I start to look through their frame of reference but then I turn myself into an outcast in the process. Seeing it all written down now makes it look a bit ridiculous.
Right… my mind has spoken!
Hello Tony,
I just wanted to say thank you. You are honestly changing my life. I just want to say thank you!! Things are different for me because of you. I wish I could just talk to you. Anyways… thank you again. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Andy
Dear Sage and Tony We have been empowered by DWD Gold Coast. My life partner and I watched, felt, learnt and followed for 6 days. The real challenges lay in the following 6 days !!!! We practiced, visualised, and most of all, we succeeded – in the ‘real world’ because we simply gave it a new meaning.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Both.
Tony, how can I be on the show? I’m an up & coming singer/performer who is struggling with severe social phobia & performance anxiety. Thanks.

Tony-
I am interested in being on your show. In March of 2008 I left my job as a result of a mutual decision in order to pursue my own business. In the time of the past year plus, all attempts to get my business which is speaking and training on credit, financial literacy and home ownership, have not been successful. As a result I have suffered extreme financial distress, personal and emotional turmoil and am on the brink of losing my home to foreclosure. I receive numerous compliments whenever I speak or present but for some reason there’s a certain ‘it’ missing that I am not meeting with success. I am near the end of my rope and need some help. Please contact me at 561-283-1671 or via e-mail for information on being on one of your shows. Thank you!
Tony;
Really looking forward to your excellent show.
It will encourage millions…
Mike
Are applications being taken for Breakthrough? Been unemployed for over 6 months now (first time after working 38 years). Have spent almost all of my “retirement” fund just to get by. Afraid of further rejection. Slipping back into reclusive, cluttered, obese lifestyle. I realize I am self-destructing but I don’t know how to stop. I’m looking for the tools to break out of this slump and step back into the rest of my life. I’m looking for a breakthrough! Am I in the right place?
Thanks — Janet
Tony
I, like yourself have had a quest to find out why people do what they do. This is inspired from a personal need to find out why I am the way I am. Growing up in a not – so – ideal situation, I had developed very complex set of limiting beliefs. As a result, my behavior awarded me 3 drug treatments and 5 psych. wards. I was a lost soul to say the least. Then I began to read books, and many of them had great info. but something was always missing, and the changes I would make were short lived. Then one night I watched your Get the Edge infomercial. Actually I had watched it many times but was sceptic for whatever reason. Maybe it because I thought I had tried everything. But then my wife watched it with me and for some reason, she called and ordered it.
I listened and was more than pleasantly surprised. I listened to it again and again. I was blown away. Then I saw that you were having a UPW in simulcast here in Minneapolis, so I scratched up enough money and registered. What I want to stress is that you truly are an breath of fresh air, a man who is authentic, and that meant a lot to a lifelong sceptic. It didn’t happen overnight, but by repetitively listening and doing what you suggest I got to where I am today, which is the happiest I have ever been. Not because I made millions or anything like that, but that you helped put me on a journey that has not been easy, but has been the most fulfilling I have ever imagined.
The time your info helped the most was the time I had to have neck surgery to hinge open my vertebrae to prevent me from being paralyzed from the neck down. I had already started to lose motor skill in my extremities. But what I want to say is that that was a time I had to use the info and tools you taught. I am grateful for how this helped. The old Randy would of collapsed into disempowering behavior. Not this time. This experienced has only made me a better person all around.
So once again I want to thank you for being someone who honestly cares.
Randy
I can’t wait to see this program. Tony Robbins is the best! I’d love to participate. I have made many breakthroughs with the help of events and CD’s but this will be an amazing show that will help so many people. I imagine this will be very popular, as these methods are real, extremely valuable and will be life changing for many…
Best Wishes,
Elicia Burton
I was on the sofa with a 38 poked in my right ear. I was thinking, I sure hope this doesn’t hurt. My life was in shambles. Nobody loved me. Nobody cared.
Then all of a sudden I heard Tony on the TV. I ordered his CDs and listened to them till I wore a set out. That was 2 years ago. I have a new set now. I’m still here. I even sold my gun.
Thanks Tony! You saved my life!

Hi Tony,
I’m a huge fan of your work.
Are you concerned about what this show might do to your credibility?
The credibility of the tools and techniques?
People may just put you in the same location as Dr Phil in their minds.
Have you considered what impact this may have on the people using your teachings in there businesses. TV changes things.
Arthur.
I am trying to find the submission form for the casting call of your upcoming show Breakthrough. I am having a hard time locating the form. Can someone possibly forward it to my listed e-mail? I am eager to tell my story and transform my life so I can inspire others to be their best. With love and intention, Christopher Sullivan
I need to be on your show!!!!!!!!
Please….I need to be on your show!!!!!!!!
Mr. Tony… You are the greatest!!! I like your Foundation so much.. In 2017, I have to become like you… I will found INDONESIAN REVIVAL FOUNDATION… God bless us!!!
Robbins, who has dedicated himself to giving through both his work and philanthropic endeavors, says the show is designed to inspire people to find the tools to change their own lives, but to also reach out and help others as well.
My name is Shawn Avellan I am from Methuen MA and I am in desperate need of finding myself, not only because I have gained some weight that I cant motivate myself to lose, or find something to fill the hole of my children not being around much anymore because they are growing up, but more because I have always known and will always know that I was put on this earth to do something great. I have an idea that will truly make history, and I truly believe I will make this happen whether I am on the show or not, however Mr. Robbins you truly are one of my biggest role models and I would love nothing more than to learn what it is I should already know about myself from the best (You). This idea I have will help millions of americans and our economy as well. Thank You for reading this and possibly looking at me as a candidate for your show. I have emailed your staff they have responded once, I answered their questions and haven’t heard back.
Thank You again and I look forward to your show whether I am in it or not.
Sincerely,
Shawn Avellan

tony hello
i have a question for you,i have met someone who says that he knows you,he said that he has been to a few of your seminars and was asked to get up on stage with you,he is also telling me he is trained as an nlp practitioner but i have found out differently.
how do i deal with a person like this when i am trying to change my life for the better.
i have been a very negative person for a very long time and i feel now i am becoming much more positive in my life but this person is playing minds games with me telling me stories.
now that he has been caught out, i feel sorry for him as he has begun another web of lies,he is now telling me has no idea who i am and this has happened in a matter of four hours,how can this be tony.
i feel he is trying to stop me from changing my life,and i want to continue with my training but with someone who will treat me with respect not anger and harsh words.
i feel that all of what he has taught me is wrong and misleading for me.
tony can you give me some advise on this and maybe give me some tools to use to get past all of this as i feel he is weighing me down.
thank you tony for listening and i hope you can help me.
my name is katherine i am 44 years old and i live in australia.
A great show coming up, what a wonderful idea!
Something I have recently… well all this year been thinking about is what you said about living a life of giving.
You are right when you say that the moment when one says: I will lose some kilos is the right moment to go out and walk or to a gym.
But what about when a new concept is is growing inside, a concept that helps me to give the best what I have to other people. When is the right time to give it out to the world? The concept contains so much wisdom from great people like you Tony but also a lot of understanding that learning never ends. When is the right time?
Momentum of course is in the preparation. Abraham Lincoln said that he will study and prepare and the opportunity will come… but somehow the feeling of readiness hasn’t come although I feel I have worked a prepared a lot. Do you know what I am talking about?
I am sure your program will be a huge source of inspiration, it would be great to be a part of such fantastic endeavor… or at least if there is a way to see the program… I am in Finland, you see
Best of luck and success
God bless you too

Hello, Hope the show will be a success for all.
Will the full Breakthrough with Tony Robbins be broadcasted
also in UK/England?
This show looks like its going to be awesome. I’m really excited to watch it.
Little known fact – after each successful breakthru, Tony unhinges his jaw, and swallows the contestant whole.
Thereby completely the cycle of life.
I went to my first Tony Robbins event here in Australia in Sydney and it was a blast! If this show ever comes to Australia I would love to meet Tony in person, it would be like a dream come true for me.
I am hoping that over here in Australia I can see some episodes of Breakthrough when it airs in the US, it sounds like an awesome TV show.
Date with Destiny 2010 here I come!
