Remember how I walked on hot coals with my best friend Gayle King at a Tony Robbins event?

Well, some of the volunteers who spent 21 hours preparing and building his Fire Walk recently stumbled on my post. If you’ll remember, right after I powered through the walk, instead of feeling awesome about myself, I looked back on the lane of coals and shrugged. “Hot coals? More like tepid ashes.” I immediately downplayed my success. Lest there be any residue of doubt in my mind, one of the volunteers sent me this picture:

"Once set ablaze, we added wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of wood to the fire," writes a member of the volunteer Fire Walk crew that prepared the 40 lanes for 5,000 people at the New Jersey event in March. "It burns all night like this to make your coals. It's still burning as we go in very close to get the coals for the lanes."

Glad the volunteers found the post, and thanks to you all for sharing your stories and lessons you’ve gotten from the walk. As for my suggestion that Tony rename this exercise to the more accurate Hot Coals Walk? Writes one of the volunteers, “I’m not sure anyone could get Tony to change the name of his famous Fire Walk.”
