Tony Horton is the wildly popular creator of the best-selling fitness series: P90X®, P90X2®, P90X3®, and Ten Minute Trainer®, and most recently his 22-Minute military inspired workout, 22 Minute Hard Corps®. Tony is a world-class motivational speaker and the author of top-selling books "Bring It, Crush It!" and his latest motivational book, "The Big Picture" 11 Laws that will change your life.

By the time Tony Horton was 10 his family had already moved more than 5 times.  His father put in 3 years of service in the ROTC, so they were stationed at various bases around America.  They had moved to the big island of Hawaii all the way back to Connecticut.  Each move meant Tony had to make new friends in a hurry.  Tony wasn't shy, which gave him the confidence to go for what he wanted and follow his dreams. Join us to hear how you can follow your dreams of success just like him.
