As we approach Father\\u2019s Day, join Tony Robbins, his wife Sage Robbins, and host Mary B. as they discuss their fathers, their modern family, a 14-month-old daughter, and the distinction Tony draws between a father and a dad.

An archetype is just a fancy word for pattern and the universal father energy is within us and around us all, regardless of your relationship with your own father, whether you have children, or your gender. Our experience of father(s) shapes our life and influences who we become.

Fathers, brothers, grandpas, godfathers, uncles, and father figures hold the powerful possibility to affect us in meaningful\\xa0ways. By also recognizing these energies within us and calling upon them in different circumstances and contexts, we\\xa0are able to live life fully, with access to a multitude of gifts, abilities, experiences, and emotions.\\xa0

We invite you to notice, honor, and appreciate the father figures in your life as we commemorate Father\\u2019s Day with this exclusive conversation.

"A father is love and strength. It\'s an absolute unconditional love beyond imagination and a strength to call to the highest part of them." \\u2013 Tony Robbins
