Shazam! How To Turn Your Crazy Idea Into A Business | The Tony Robbins Podcast

In this video, we drop you inside a Tony Robbins Business Mastery seminar for a 1-hour masterclass in how to take a far-fetched seemingly impossible business idea all the way from your brain to market.
You’ll see Tony Robbins in a one-on-one interview with the co-founder of the wildly popular music recognition app, Shazam.
Shazam is one of those magic tech innovations that stopped us in our tracks with its astonishing capability the first time we saw it. Launched in the summer of 2002, Shazam just turned 20 years old, and in those 20 years, it has surpassed 70 billion song I.D.s with its 225 million monthly users around the world.
All of this began in 1999 when Chris Barton, then an undergrad student at UC Berkeley, founded Shazam Entertainment with his business partner. Watch the video for the whole story of how Chris’s creation led to an Apple acquisition in September 2018 for a reported $400 million.
Tony digs into the mindset of a true creative entrepreneur and extracts the details of what it takes to survive and persist after more than a hundred venture capitalists turn you away.
Fun Fact: Drake is the most Shazamed artist of all time with over 350 million Shazams. “One Dance” is Drake’s most popular track at over 17 million Shazams.

Proximity is power! Wow, words that have left an impact on my day :)

[@AnnTsungMD]

Totally agree! The simple act of whom you spend your time with is who you become!

[@Ylecasmusic]

It's amazing how one product can totally revolutionize how we identify music. This is the stuff of the future. Any other music artists here watching?

[@sheilarose9278]

Shazam is a genius mind-blowing gift! I am so proud to be alive during a time with such prodigal inventions! ⭐️

Tony Robbins is probably a rapist, but his fans seem not to care much

[@KeVinTwiX101]

I loveeee music, and a aspiring musician. I remember vividly working at a shoe store and not being permitted to use our phones. I would grab a post-it note and write the lyrics down down to a song on the radio with hopes I’d find it on google search during break. Now i have a more than a lifetime of shazam songs to listen to. Epic creation!!!!

[@JGray_ShadyBeats]

I can relate too Kevin!

[@JGray_ShadyBeats]

Do you make music?

[@KeVinTwiX101]

@@JGray_ShadyBeats hey bud, wishing well. I would love to take the risk someday but always nervous

[@coachalexjara]

I used Shazam during the Tony Robbins events, too!

[@reeseharper1408]

@ChrisBarton; TonyRobbins - Drowning is indeed a serious issue, and appreciate that people are becoming more concerned about it. Maybe something you've thought of already; but it could be a 'make-or-break' for the product(s); what factors could determine the DIFFERENCE between drowning and playing? I know my kids, their cousins and friends, from an early age, would play competition games seeing how long they could stay under water. whether retrieving items, face-down floating, or just sitting/laying under holding their breath. We also practiced survival type exercises (face-down floating (aka: dead-mans-float) /timed breathing, etc.). How could it know when children are actually being supervised (even from a distance) or not? I would think there would need to be some sort of "On/Off" so you could (maybe program it) to only alert at times when you are not expecting anyone to be in the pool? Thanks!!

Shazam was and is for me the most incredible and fascinating app ever. I remember a friend talking to me about it and i did not believe him at the time. Now..

[@theunlimitedschool]

[@neighbor9672]

I got a crazy product idea and I’d love to hear some interviews about how that process happens, maybe the inventor of beanie babies or something like that, funko pop creator. I’d love to learn how these people made their business!

[@aplik881]

Amazing! Thank you for inspiring and lighting our guts!

[@jenniferholmes2112]

@ChrisBarton; TonyRobbins - The interview with Chris Barton was so inspiring and what I needed to hear TODAY as the CEO of an early stage pre-revenue healthcare digital AI body motion detection rehabilitation start-up. There are so many similarities and challenges he experienced that we are currently experiencing. Grateful for his willingness to be open and authentic. Great interview Tony!

[@sivlee8909]

Thanks to this legend, I find new inspiration for my music. My brother had it first then I noticed him using it to find new music then I finally got a phone and downloaded it. So useful.

[@zoeeffa]

Thanks 🙏

😌🙏 to Tony Robbins Sir

[@marcdevries4470]

the thing hes saying about dyslectic people is very true but what is also very true is that when dyslectic people read a lot and get better and faster they can interpret the message in multiple ways at the same time and therefore learn a lot in many perspectives. by now i can only read about a hundred pages in 8 hours but putting in the afford really is paying off more than i would have imagined

[@wynot7862]

This is inspiring. I have had over 100 investors at my Angel round to finally meet the one. Vision and tenacity is key. You never now what you are capable of unless you try, and you do it.
