From engineering a kitchen that can run 30 restaurants at once to inventing new cooking processes and delivery models, Wonder represents a complete rethinking of what's possible when technology meets daily life. Marc shares his VCP framework—Vision, Capital, People—and why great founders must constantly challenge the status quo. Tony Florence offers the investor's perspective: what makes elite entrepreneurs different, how NEA evaluates massive markets, and why periods of disruption often create the best opportunities.  This conversation highlights the breakthroughs that occur when innovation, execution, and long-term thinking collide.    Learn more at https://TheHolyGrailofInvesting.com and https://CAZInvestments.com

In this powerful 15-minute intervention, Tony Robbins works with Anna, a young Inner Circle member, on how to deal with failure and the feeling of "losing time," while keeping her mind fresh and positive.
