Tony Robbins and Autodesk

I have to be honest, I never knew who Tony Robbins was until Shallow Hal. I'll watch anything with Jack Black in it, and I thought it was some bit part he was playing. Well, turns out Tony Robbins is a pretty big deal and NBC is premiering his new show called Breakthrough with Tony Robbins. http://www.tonyrobbins.com/breakthrough/

In one of the episodes Tony helps a man that on his wedding night, broke his back and as a result became a quadriplegic. With limited use of his hands and arms it was difficult, near impossible to go back to work as a mechanical engineer. Watch the clip and see how Autodesk stepped up to help Frank get back to work.

Just a great story all around, and glad that we could help out. Also, check out the blog at Design News on the same topic: http://www.designnews.com/blog/CAD_CAM_Corner/39510-Autodesk_Donates_Software_For_Tony_Robbins_TV_Series.php?rssid=20039

Tony Robbins does some great things. Yes, he's a commercial machine and makes a lot of money, and that turns some people off. Yes, he comes across as overly confident at times and that turns some people off. But, his methods can be very effective, and he has done a lot for people in need.
