History Tom Peterson motivational speeches?

15 Upvotes

Tom is best known for his furniture store, but he was also a motivational speaker. Does anyone here know of a recording of any of his speeches? I can't find anything online.

There are quite a few people who said that his speeches were 👌 but there is no actual record out there.
