Governor Gavin Newsom credits Tony Robbins as a pivotal influence in his life, according to his upcoming memoir set to hit stands at the end of February.
In the book, the California Governor discusses his upbringing with dyslexia and the confidence issues that followed.
He reveals that at 24, reading and listening to Robbins helped him learn to project “confidence and authority,” POLITICO reported.
“Find a person who embodies all the outward traits of personality, bearing, charisma, language, and power lacking in yourself. Study that person. Copy that person,” Newsom writes, describing his primary takeaway from Robbins’ teachings.
Robbins — whose influence is still evident in Newsom’s public diction — was also recently a guest at the White House for President Trump’s private screening of the documentary Melania.
Notably, Robbins was previously considered as a potential running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. back when the current Health Secretary was still running for the presidency.
A world-renowned life strategist and author of bestsellers like Awaken the Giant Within, Robbins has coached global leaders and icons, including former President Bill Clinton, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff, and tennis legend Serena Williams.
Newsom, 58, is expected to run for the Democrat nomination for president in 2028.
The wildest revelations from Gavin Newsom’s memoir
He has been working to reinvent himself as a Democrat disruptor prepared to take on Donald Trump directly and the memoir is part of the strategy.
The memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry,” will be released by Penguin Press on February 24.
