In this episode, international expert in neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen, talks with Tom about the reversibility of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. While Alzheimer’s disease is well known as a progressive disease impacting seniors, too many people are missing the opportunity to course correct and reverse the effects of cognitive decline leading to Alzheimer’s disease in their younger years.

This is a must-watch if you're wondering why it seems like men today just can't catch a break. In the next hour you’re going to get a break down of exactly how a generation of men are now poorer than their parents, feeling lost, broke, and still single. To help me tackle this topic today is Professor Scott Galloway, the brilliant mind behind "No Mercy No Malice," who has the uncanny ability to dissect the troubling trends facing modern men: less dating, no sex, being poor and not having meaningful relationships.  His take on the shifts in our modern culture and their impact on young men's financial and emotional states is eye-opening. And while he’s not saying it’s time for male affirmative action, he is saying its seriously past time for real, actionable solutions. Societal structures, from education to technology, are stacked against stacked men, and we exist in a society that shames men for their ambition, labels them toxic, avoids the uncomfortable questions and passively supports their financial and social frustrations. We're peeling back the layers to unveil why guys feel lost, hopeless, and lonely. But here's the thing—we're not about wallowing in the problem; we're chasing down solutions. From social media regulation and revamping AI governance, to hands-on vocational programs, we're advocating steps to elevate men and, by extension, society. Remember, your north star should be fulfilling and embrace the challenges. Without hard things to conquer, life just feels crappy. Prepare to get metaphorically taller and rediscover your purpose.  Chapter Markers: [00:27] Introduction [00:27] Lonely Broke Young Men  [26:18] Pornographic Tech & Idolizing AU [49:27] Making Men Productive Again Follow Scott Galloway:  Website: https://www.profgalloway.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProfGShow  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/profgalloway/  Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu:  Website: https://impacttheoryuniversity.com/  X: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ SPONSORS: If you purchase an item using these affiliate links, Impact Theory may receive a commission.  Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.

I had a super compelling conversation with the legendary biologist Robert Sapolsky to challenge the concept of free will and pull together what can be done with these ideas when you feel lazy and lack purpose or direction. We dive into the unsettling reality that everything we perceive may just be a simulation, and how evolution has optimized us for survival, not accuracy. But don't despair! Even without god or free will, we discuss how you can still massively improve your life.  We explore the societal implications of free will being an illusion and why acting as if it exists could be beneficial for your mental health. Don't miss this riveting conversation that will challenge your perspective and empower you to leverage your biology for self-improvement.

We're delving deep into the unsettling realities of our chaotic world with former CIA spy, Andrew Bustamante. As we face an increasingly complex and confusing era, understanding the tactics and strategies used to manipulate public opinion has never been more crucial. In this episode, we examine the distressing prospect of America turning against itself and the increasing potential for war. Andrew shares his ideas on how external attacks on our system could ironically unify us, but also how these threats are being weaponized to destabilize America. We look at the concept of World War 3 and it not being fought on traditional battlefields, but through proxy wars and influence campaigns that target our resources, dominance, and global standing.

Are you currently fasting or are considering starting one? Do you struggle to know where to begin or perhaps you’ve started and just aren’t seeing the benefits you had wished for? On this episode of Health Theory, Tom Bilyeu is joined by two time New York Times bestselling author Dave Asprey, the "Father of Biohacking" and CEO and founder of Bulletproof 360, to discuss such matters and more as they explore the hidden benefits of fasting, what to avoid when starting out a fast, and how to apply ‘fasting’ to every area of your life. They discuss the many different types of fasting, the pitfalls of hardcore fasting, what defines a fast, the healing power of fiber on your gut, how to eat and still be in a fast, what the true benefits beyond weight loss are of fasting, how to lower inflammation in the body, spiritual fasting, how you can begin fasting in an easy, yet effective, way and so much more.   Order Dave’s new book, ‘Fast This Way’ today: amazon.com/dp/0062882864/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_ko-2FbC1QZ950   QUOTES:   “You don’t have to experience pain and hunger to get the benefits of fasting and to go into fasting.” [5:04]   “Fasting the same way everyday is bad for you. Because it doesn’t lend your body the idea of metabolic flexibility. It’s like, “Oh, I live in a world where there’s almost never enough food.” So have breakfast every now and then…” [24:08]   “When most people hear fasting, all they hear is, “I’ll starve therefore, I’ll die,” and then they blank out to it. No, this is about more energy and it’s about more clarity and less time wasted.” [41:53]   FOLLOW DAVE: Website: daveasprey.com Twitter: twitter.com/bulletproofexec Instagram: instagram.com/dave.asprey Facebook: facebook.com/bulletproofexecutive Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?

This conversation will redefine what true power really means, beyond sex and money. We'll explore the double-edged sword of power and uncover what people often get wrong about it and delve into the nature of money, understanding that it doesn't define your self-worth. Instead, we'll focus on what you truly want to feel and how you feel about yourself. “Men have to come to grips with their will to power because the will to power that drives you can also be your demon.” -Tai Lopez Prepare to witness the power of making things happen in the world as Tai and I map out the intricate connections between power, wealth, and seduction. It's time to seek mastery, status, and power like never before. Prepare to have your mind blown and your perspective shifted.

[Original air date: September 24, 2020]. Vitamin D, gut health, and your microbiome. What actions must we take today to build ourselves up for a lifetime of undeniable health?

Deciding to ask for help and get emotional support in the form of therapy is a really tough decision for many people. We’re at a time in history where millions of people are dealing with mental health challenges. We’ve seen a rise of celebrities coming out to speak on their battle with mental health to help normalize the idea that it’s okay to seek help. Our guest this episode is a licensed therapist from BetterHelp, and she likens going to therapy to getting routine car maintenance. Waiting for your car to completely break down on the highway isn’t a great idea, and you don’t have to wait until you’re having a mental health crisis to seek help and talk to someone. Haesue Jo, MA is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the current Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp, the world's largest online therapy service. This conversation is dedicated to helping people like you break through the mental barriers holding you back from your best life. Haesue is clearly an expert in therapy and does a great job addressing some key points if you’ve been on the fence about talking to a therapist and getting professional help. The way you show up for yourself, the way you parent your child(ren), the way you resolve conflicts, and even more importantly, the way you feel about yourself when you’re by yourself is all within your control. Emotional support makes it possible. Wisdom to Remember: “Generally happy and well adjusted people aren’t spending a lot of their waking moments afraid that people are out to get them…” “Some people don’t always recognize that what’s familiar might actually be very chaotic and painful and not helpful for a future of healthy living, but it’s familiar.” “You don’t have to be in crisis, in fact, I don’t want folks to wait until they’re in crisis to consider talking to somebody. The narrative around therapy is shifting now.” Follow BetterHelp:  Website: ⁠https://www.betterhelp.com/⁠ Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/betterhelp⁠  YouTube: ⁠www.youtube.com/betterhelp⁠ Hear more episodes on Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1nARKz2vTIOb7gC9dusE4b⁠⁠ FOLLOW TOM: Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tombilyeu⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/tombilyeu⁠⁠ Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?

We're here to change that and challenge your thoughts on masculinity.

[Original air date: March 26, 2017]. Tom Bilyeu and Cindy (@essenceofcin) answer questions from the Impact Theory community. A few questions that get answered are: Who is the one mentor you would spend a day with to grow yourself? As a creative, how do you turn off your brain at night and go to sleep? Why are we always talking about "Phase 1 - Build a community"? What's phase 2? Where are we headed? How do leaders in the philanthropic space push through all the current noise in media today...how do these leaders get their story out there? Currently Mel Robbins' episode is already around 300,000+ views (5x) the amount of next highest. What do you think has attributed to the results of that episode in particular? Do those same learnings guide how you choose to structure future episodes? How did you create your morning routine? Did you slowly implicate working out then meditation and eventually setting goals (not that certain order), or did you jump with both feet and just make it happen? And more...

In this episode, we dive straight into the recent FTX verdict that is sending major ripples though the financial world with the announcement of a potential 100+ year sentence on the horizon.  Patrick Bet-David, founder, creator mentor and highly successful serial entrepreneur joins me to explore the concept that only the paranoid survive. This isn't about living in fear, but rather about being alert, aware, and ready for any curveball life might throw our way. It's about realizing that paranoia can be a powerful tool in taking precautionary measures to safeguard your future. The FTX case is a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the critical need to stay informed. We've all had our fair share of missed opportunities, times when we wished we'd paid closer attention or taken a different path. But it's not just about regret; it's about learning to optimize for options.  This episode is not just about facing the hard truths, but also about developing resilience and adaptability. It's about equipping you with the tools and mindset necessary to navigate the turbulent waters ahead. So buckle up for an enlightening journey into the realities of success and economic landscape.

Welcome back to part two of this thought-provoking conversation with world renowned social scientist, Dan Ariely. We continue unpacking the complexity of human rationale and mass psychosis you’ve probably encountered more times than you can count. We head for the deep in this round to really unpack why you need a northstar to move confidently forward toward a life of fulfillment, and you need to distrust yourself, your beliefs, and certainly your emotions simultaneously. By the end of this two part episode,  Avoid irrational traps we are calling the funnel of misbelief, Understand how to escape corrosive-information and seek objective truth Choose a northstar with flexibility that allows you to prioritize fulfillment This episode is about no longer allowing your emotions to be hijacked without your knowledge, and understanding exactly how they’ve been leveraged against you to form beliefs that need to be questioned.  “I don't want to be 100% sure of anything that is going to color my worldview, or at least I'm going to be very, very cautious before I get there.” -Dan Ariely Dan Ariely, not only challenges the status quo with his groundbreaking research into human irrationality at Duke University, he also confronts the mass psychosis and misinformation epidemic, using his profound understanding of behavioral economics and personal experiences to shed light on our predictably irrational patterns of thought.

Welcome to Impact Theory where I like to bring in guests that will challenge your thinking and help you rise to the occasion of defining your purpose and thoughtfully choosing how to live life well. Today, I’m unpacking the complexity of human rationale and the lack of it as we encounter more global conflicts and people are seemingly losing their minds. The buffet of misinformation which my guest today calls “corrosive” information is highly triggering one-sided social media arguments taken as truth based on number of likes and shares, and biased news outlets that exist to turn profits pushing watered down information in the new era of headline consumption. Mis-information overload is quite literally rotting the brains of people around the world at alarming rates.

Welcome back to the final part of our two-part episode with Gad Saad. In this segment, we delve deeper into Gad's unique perspectives on life, happiness and truth. He shares the evolutionary reasons for religion, the dangers of confusing equality of opportunities with equality of outcomes, and the high price of personal freedom.  Gad walks us through his insights on why well-intentioned ideas don't necessarily solve problems and how happiness can be found in the face of failure and rejection. Don't miss out on the conclusion of this enlightening discussion. “The only road to individual dignity and sustained existential happiness is to adopt an ethos of personal agency. You are the ultimate architect of your own happiness, so get to work.”  -Gad Saad After watching this episode, you'll be equipped with a fresh perspective, understand the true nature of happiness, and will hopefully be inspired to foster an anti-fragile mindset.  Discover why your ability to solve novel problems is key, why apologies can sometimes be an attack on your identity, and so much more. Don't miss out on this riveting conversation with the ever-authentic and truthfully controversial Gad Saad! Saad Truths: “Groups that are religious out survive groups that are not religious through the mechanisms of greater cooperation communality cohesion. So they are very earthly biological reasons for why religiosity confers greater survival rates to the religious than the non-religious.” “The justification for why you should have a punitive progressive tax is that as you make more money, you pay more and more inexorably very aware of it. Exactly. So that argument stems from exactly of the things that I talk about in the parasitic mind, which is the confusing of equality of opportunities with equality of outcomes.” “I think that if you can crack those two things in whatever profession you choose, creativity, impulse, temporal freedom, you're well on your way to being happy.”  Follow Gad Saad: Website: https://www.gadsaad.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/GadSaad  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GadSaad  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorgadsaad/  SPONSORS: Visit https://bit.ly/WildHealthImpact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

Welcome to Impact Theory! I’ve got an exciting two-part episode for today with the intriguing, at-times controversial, Gad Saad.  Known for his controversial views and unique approach to life, Gad believes that happiness is not an end goal but a byproduct of specific behaviors. He shares his insights and views of why the path to happiness is sometimes controversial when truth and authenticity are your highest values. Though this has led to death threats, Gad Saad, a renowned author, YouTuber, and award-winning professor who asserts that happiness is not a destination, but a byproduct of specific behaviors. “The only road to individual dignity and sustained existential happiness is to adopt an ethos of personal agency. You are the ultimate architect of your own happiness, so get to work.”  -Gad Saad We open the door for deeper conversation as Gad explores our need for intellectual variety, operating from a non-fractured personality, and being truly antifragile in the sense of being able to handle opposing views and beliefs. Stay tuned for the second part of this compelling discussion as we start digging how an absurd amount of failure and rejections translate into happiness. Saad Truths: “It's very very difficult for me to not be authentic if I need to defend some truth claim, [...] so the death threats come from the fact that I have to decide, am I going to be a fanatic and walk away from a defense of truth, or am I going to be authentic not only to myself, but to truth by stepping on some toes? And regrettably, at times I step on the wrong toes, which yields some death threats.” “Don't worry about taking a statin to lower your LDL scores. Make sure that you have two, three, four friends that you really trust and love and you can engage in reciprocal rituals with.” “I don't think you can solve some of the most important novel problems if they're not at the cusp of interdisciplinary.” “Having a conciliate mindset, being a generalist, in my view, are probably the best ways to crack novel problems.” Follow Gad Saad: Website: https://www.gadsaad.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/GadSaad  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GadSaad  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorgadsaad/  SPONSORS: Visit https://bit.ly/WildHealthImpact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…” If you caught part one of today’s dynamic conversation with Arthur Brooks, we talked about the role of progress in your ability to flourish, the danger of being attached to your beliefs and what happens when you allow your views to define your identity. Arthur Brooks is a social scientist, Harvard professor, and bestselling author committed to helping people find success, happiness and deep meaning. He's such a profound thought-leader in the space that he just released a book with Oprah called Build the Life You Want, The Art and Science of Getting Happier. We explore a deeply thought-provoking conversation about the pursuit of happiness through progress, learning, and understanding. As simple as the idea of happiness seems on the surface, understanding the complexities of what it means to pursue it, relish tt, and define the meaning of it without attachment and dogmatic viewpoints escapes many people. In the second part of our conversation, we tip the scales and really explore some controversial areas which is such a gift: The concept of beliefs becoming a religion  The topic of political differences and abuse being reasons for family schisms. The idea of making decisions that go against our natural instincts. By the end of this podcast, I want for your challenge your beliefs and reassess where you are in your pursuit of happiness. Are you exploring life with meaning on your journey or trapped in misconceptions and social constructs that distort your ability to ever be happy. ARTHUR BROOKS QUOTES: “Each of us is an entrepreneur in the startup of our lives. That's what really matters. And what we need is to always have a clear intention…” “The best thing that you can possibly do is to think about the emotions that you're feeling, what they mean and how best to use them.”  “All the things we really want in life. All of our deep desires are complex. All of our solutions are complicated, and we're throwing complicated solutions at complex problems and we're not getting happier.” “They're not entrepreneurial in the part of life that matters the most, which is their heart.” “The first one is that there is meaning.

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…” You’ve heard this many times before, and yet have you ever wondered why life and liberty are automatically given and assumed while happiness isn’t . Why are millions of people around the world chasing happiness and very few ever “catch” it? Arthur Brooks is a social scientist, Harvard professor, and bestselling author committed to helping people find success, happiness and deep meaning. He's such a profound thought-leader in the space that he just released a book with Oprah called Build the Life You Want, The Art and Science of Getting Happier. We explore a deeply thought-provoking conversation about the pursuit of happiness through progress, learning, and understanding. As simple as the idea of happiness seems on the surface, understanding the complexities of what it means to pursue it, relish tt, and define the meaning of it without attachment and dogmatic viewpoints escapes many people. Some key areas where we dive hard and deep on that I think you will find so interesting on the first of this two part episode are: The role of progress in human flourishing The danger of being attached and dogmatic with your beliefs The importance not allowing your views to define you What I enjoyed most about our conversation was how far we explored and unpacked in areas that are potentially controversial topics like religious beliefs, political differences, and family schisms. Get ready to challenge your base assumptions and view existential threats from new angles. ARTHUR BROOKS QUOTES: “The idea that you can be blissful and happy all the time is not just unrealistic, it's unhealthy. It would be terrible if you were happy all the time.” “If you don't defend your positions, if you admit to the possibility that you're not right, that you learn and you update when people say things that you think are crazy, you say, tell me more that you're actually going to get better.” “Any time you use your values as a weapon, you've denigrated their moral content. You've eviscerated the effectiveness of your approach. But if you use your values as a gift it might not always be taken in a charitable way.” Follow Arthur Brooks: Website: https://arthurbrooks.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/arthurbrooks  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arthurbrooks123  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arthurcbrooks/  Sponsors: Visit www.WildHealth.com/Impact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

[Original air date: November 12, 2020]. Celebrate small victories. Your thoughts are a choice. Move towards fear. Lean into your negative experiences. No matter what the question is, action is the answer. Meditate. Breathe deeply. These are well-known concepts and mantras that many people have assimilated, through experience or through training. But what is the scientific explanation for why all these practices and beliefs work so well? What is happening on the level of the brain? On this episode of Health Theory with Tom Bilyeu, recognized neuroscientist Andrew Huberman details the science behind successful strategies for life change. SHOW NOTES: Ultimately our thoughts are a choice [1:13] The brain creates an abstract representation of everything that’s out there in the world [4:52] There two pieces of your brain that are outside of your skull and spinal cord [7:23] Viewing screens after 11 PM suppresses dopamine and punishes the brain [9:25] Action in pursuit of a goal stimulates neural rewards [11:36] Dopamine reward cycles can provide you with endless energy [14:21] The reasons why it’s so important to celebrate small victories [16:25] How to unlearn negative experiences [21:10] Using lateralized eye movements while recounting negative experiences helps [25:01] Forward movement is absolutely the remedy for trauma and fear [28:03] Stress and agitation are meant to be triggers for action, not forms of suffering [31:31] It’s not easy to suppress negative thoughts, but you can replace negative thoughts [34:21] Always reward incremental steps that are about forward action [37:37] Andrew explains hypnosis and why it works [40:08] Andrew explains why slow, diaphragmatic breathing works so well [43:48] Andrew shares the one thing he would have most people change in their lives [51:16] FOLLOW ANDREW: WEBSITE: https://hubermanlab.com  INSTAGRAM: https://bit.ly/2AEiQZr TWITTER: https://bit.ly/2yg1NMy FOLLOW TOM: Tom’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Impact Theory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impacttheory/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tombilyeu?lang=en Tom’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/tombilyeu Impact Theory Twitter: https://twitter.com/impact_theory?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomBilyeu Tom’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu/ Impact Theory’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImpactTheoryOfficial/ Sponsors: Visit www.WildHealth.com/Impact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

Hey! Did you miss part of this life-changing conversation with the legendary Alex Hormozi? If you did, let me first make the strong suggestion that you head back to part 1 immediately. You will NOT be disappointed. Alex unpacked why that 3 hour morning routine for success may be doing more harm than good for your success, the power of defined terms you can operationalize, and why he believes rewarding yourself is more effective than punishment. The second part of this conversation is for the aspiring business gurus and entrepreneurs gunning for the 1% in need of the most effective proven strategy that ties part of this conversation about behaviors of success to actual money generating activities that create tangible success. Alex Hormozi has been going viral with incredibly valuable content about turning $1000 to $100 million, how to grow a massive following and of course how to grow and scale your business bigger than you thought was possible with his insane work ethic.  In part 2 of this epic conversation we’re digging into business models, scalability and where to even start if all you have is an idea. Hormozi has a way of taking the complicated ideas that crowd and pollute the personal growth space, stripping away the fluff and B.S. and making these ideas super easy to do and personalize. This conversation is about finding what is effective and what works. Identify your destructive habits and turn them into success-producing behaviors that are repetitive and ultimately become the expert you can follow and listen to. “Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.” -Alex Hormozi Key Hormozi insights that will change your life today: Everything in business comes down to skills, and soft skills have major impact on business The gap between knowing business secrets and success is in the number of repetitions 3 steps every beginner needs to get their business started 4 things you’ll need to know to make your first dollar By the end of this episode, anyone serious about winning and achieving their biggest dreams should understand that the only thing that absolutely matters is if you are doing the things that yield the results you are after or not. Make sure you check out Alex’s latest book, $100M Leads: https://www.amazon.com/100M-Leads-Strangers-Stuff-Acquisition-com-ebook/dp/B0CFDR3TYV  ALEX HORMOZI QUOTES: “Just because it's harder to measure doesn’t make it less important.” “I don’t think any business I’ve had has had a business plan, it’s just what are we going to sell and how are we going to get customers.” “The big fallacy is that the first is going to be the forever business, which it won’t. Many entrepreneurs have many businesses over the course of their career, and in each business you learn elements that help you build a bigger and better business next time.” “Most people have to keep getting slapped until they realize that nothing is going to be easy and they have to keep going through the period of not knowing what they are doing, that is in essence what entrepreneurship feels like.” “The opportunity is in the uncertainty.” Follow Alex Hormozi: Website: https://www.acquisition.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexHormozi  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexHormozi  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hormozi/  Sponsors: Sign up today at butcherbox.com/IMPACT and use code IMPACT to get Salmon for​ 3 Months ​plus $20 off your first order.​ Go to zbiotics.com/IMPACT to get 15% off your first order when you use IMPACT at checkout.

People are afraid of other people’s judgment about their failure.” “Virtues are behaviors that can be trained.” “You can drink and do drugs and watch porn, if you still do the sh*t, that’s all that matters.” “I try to have as few rules as possible to give myself as much latitude to live my life.” “Use emotions to fuel the behaviors that you want.” “There’s a stimulus and there’s a response. What happens in the box inside your head does not matter. If you respond, you have learned, and if you continue to see the same stimulus and you don’t respond the way you want to, you have not learned.”  “Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.” “Identity is really internal culture, [...] identity is just the rules and behaviors within an individual.” “Values are skills because you can train them.” Follow Alex Hormozi: Website: https://www.acquisition.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexHormozi  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexHormozi  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hormozi/  Sponsors: Sign up today at butcherbox.com/IMPACT and use code IMPACT to get Salmon for​ 3 Months ​plus $20 off your first order.​ Go to zbiotics.com/IMPACT to get 15% off your first order when you use IMPACT at checkout.

The second part of this conversation with Peter Schiff is just as packed with mind-blowing insights as part one. It’s hard to see what’s actually happening when you’re in the middle of it, and that’s exactly why I bring experts with a wide range of experiences and insights to the show. A lot of you are in the crossroads and feeling the pain of how much higher your grocery bill is for the same amount of food. If you were on track with a decent savings account a couple of years ago (especially if you took advantage of the stimulus money that got us where we are now… we’ll talk about that today) you noticed your savings are virtually non-existent now.  Peter has not only accurately predicted the 2008 financial collapse, he’s also been spot on in his predictions of the stock market performance, including gold, commodities, and the mighty dollar. Peter Schiff is breaking down for us the mind-games the government uses with data to ease the pain we all know to be a rapidly declining standard of living and exposing how the Fed’s inflation strategies are destroying the American economy. How anti-discrimination laws create more prejudice What the 2008 subprime market reveals about opportunities today Increasing rates like the Fed continues to do simply doesn’t work Peter exposes the big inflation bailout no one wants to talk about Is a depression greater than the Great Depression we all ready about in US history on the horizon for the US? If record numbers of credit card debt and student loan debts serve as any kind of indication of what’s looming around the corner, you’ll want to take notes and really think through this for yourself and your family. This is Impact Theory and this episode is about thinking through not just how to survive the next economic crisis, but how to get ahead of most and actually thrive. PETER SCHIFF QUOTES: “The inherent flaw isn’t capitalism, it’s democracy.” “Because the federal reserve kept interest rates so artificially low, it encouraged people to keep borrowing more and more money, [...] everybody is loaded up with debt because the government artificially suppressed interest rates.” “The best thing you can do if you want to try to save yourself financially, but also have an impact on the rest of the world, don’t go broke, don’t do down with the ship, [...] preserve your own wealth.

Living through the financial collapse of 2008 was one of the biggest economical swings this current generation has seen, until now? It’s hard to see what’s actually happening when you’re in the middle of it, and that’s exactly why I bring experts with a wide range of experiences and insights to the show. A lot of you are in the crossroads and feeling the pain of how much higher your grocery bill is for the same amount of food. If you were on track with a decent savings account a couple of years ago (especially if you took advantage of the stimulus money that got us where we are now… we’ll talk about that today) you noticed your savings are virtually non-existent now.  Working 2 to 3 jobs was once reserved for the hustler on a mission trying to work towards something major, and now it’s the standard for many people just to make ends meet! My guest today not only accurately predicted the 2008 financial collapse, he’s a seasoned Wall Street prognosticator known for his spot on predictions of the stock market performance, including gold, commodities, and the might dollar. Peter Schiff is breaking down for us the mind-games government uses with data to ease the pain we all know to be a rapidly declining standard of living and exposing how the Fed’s inflation strategies are destroying the American economy. Expose the fallacy of inflation being needed to stimulate the economy and spending Capitalism's role in creating freedom and opportunities Is a depression greater than the Great Depression we all ready about in US history on the horizon for the US? If record numbers of credit card debt and student loan debts serve as any kind of indication of what’s looming around the corner, you’ll want to take notes and really think through this for yourself and your family. This is Impact Theory and this episode is about thinking through not just how to survive the next economic crisis, but how to get ahead of most and actually thrive. PETER SCHIFF QUOTES: “When the government prints their way out of a short term problem they print their way into a an even larger long term problem.” “The fact that we have an economy that is based in spending, that is the problem. That’s part of the bubble, we have a bubble economy. A legitimate economy would not be based on spending, it would be based on savings and production.” “Money is supposed to have real value. It’s not supposed to be conjured into existence out of thin air by a central bank.” “A lot of people believe that capitalism is evil, but capitalism is the least evil economic system that exist.” “Capitalism created the American middle class. Without capitalism there wouldn’t have been a middle class. There would have just been a bunch of poor people and some rich bureaucrats at the top that were sucking the life blood out of everybody else.” Follow Peter Schiff: Website: https://schiffradio.com/    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterschiff  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterschiff  Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Let’s keep the conversation going with relationship expert and psychologist, Sadia Khan, as we dive right into part two of the complex world of relationships and social dynamics that not everyone is willing to be honest about. In part 1 we unpacked the negative implications of over-glorifying a single trait in potential partners, the importance of core values such as honesty, integrity, respect, and care for your partner's well-being, and we uncovered how manipulation can shape relationships for better or worse. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again because it’s true: there is NOTHING that has brought me more joy and wellbeing in my life than my 21 year marriage with Lisa. Material wealth, millions of dollars, awards and notoriety mean nothing without the joy I’ve received from sharing my life with the only woman I’ve ever said ‘I love you’ to. If you want to master life, you have to understand how to select well. In the second part of our conversation, Sadia turns up the heat on both men and and women: Navigating gender roles successfully –you can get this wrong on either side.  Sex, power, and submission and how to do it all in a healthy way Why Red Pill content doesn’t lead anyone into a healthy relationship Your journey to a better understanding of human behavior, the opposite sex and relationships starts here.  SADIA KHAN QUOTES: “Just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean it's not a deal breaker.”  “When I talk about narcissistic women it is because we've tilted it where women are automatic victims and sometimes they are the narcissist in the relationship.” “I always say to men that competition is not other men. It's her childhood. If it's totally chaotic, no matter how much stability you provide her, she'll find it very, very difficult to settle into that stable relationship.”  “When you meet a man who is such a safe bet and so secure, submission is a natural consequence, [...] You'd be missing out on a great connection simply because you want to maintain your independence. But independence is overrated.” “I don't recommend ever being with a man that you can control. You become a woman that you don't like.” “I don't necessarily know that the woman needs to submit, but the guy needs to lead.” Tom Bilyeu  “Good women are not attracted to money. They're attracted to the process of a disciplined, self-controlled man. But vacuous women are attracted to the outcome, not the process.” “If you couldn't access her without money, then chances are any man with money can access her.” Follow Sadia Khan: Website: https://www.sadiapsychology.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sadiapsychology  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sadiapsychology  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sadiapsychology/  Unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory Adfree subscription service at apple.co/impacttheory Sponsors: Get 55% off at Babbel.com slash IMPACTTHEORY.

Today we're diving into the complex world of relationships and social dynamics with the insightful psychologist, Sadia Khan.  This two-part conversation gets a little hard to hear, but it’s too good to not drink in. We examine the allure of beauty on social media and its impact on modern relationships, often leading women to prioritize their appearance while men lose sight of relationship values that are important to selecting well.  Hear me when I say, there is NOTHING that has brought me more joy and wellbeing in my life than my 21 year marriage with Lisa. From material wealth to millions of followers, downloads, awards and sales, nothing has mattered more to me. If you want to master life, you have to master pair bonding. In part 1 of our conversation, Sadia, relationship expert known for seemingly controversial viewpoints when it comes to modern dating and the roles men and women are sabotaging each other with. We unpack the negative implications of: Over-glorifying a single trait, The importance of core values such as honesty, integrity, respect, and care for your partner's well-being, and How manipulation can shape relationships for better or worse. This conversation challenges societal norms and expectations. We talk about the value of monogamy, the misunderstood perceptions of feminism, and if the independent woman is creating her own roadblocks for true connection.  Wait till you hear Sadia’s view on women submitting to their men in relationships. Is it necessary? Is it a natural inclination for women? Why are women struggling so much with the idea of submitting to their male partners? This episode isn't just about love and relationships; we’re going to expose the misconceptions often spread by 'red pill' content that’s targeting the weak and vulnerable men in need of healthier perspectives when it comes to women, love, and relationship power dynamics. Your journey to a better understanding of human behavior and relationships starts here.  Follow Sadia Khan: Website: https://www.sadiapsychology.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sadiapsychology  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sadiapsychology  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sadiapsychology/  Sponsors: Visit https://bit.ly/WildHealthImpact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

Welcome back for another thought-provoking conversation with Ryan Holiday, 10+ times bestselling author. We’ve had several guests debating both sides and considering, objectively, what is true and what best serves the current state of masculinity as we see it now through the lens of the red and blue pill communities. It’s been called toxic, it’s sparked fear, pride and arguments among men, women, and between the two sexes. Today, Ryan Holiday continues the incredible second part of our conversation digging into the uncomfortable yet necessary areas of what power and masculinity truly are and how social media influencers, YouTubers, and algorithms have clouded our vision of what power is, what is moral, and what should men be turning to and searching for if it’s not the Red and Blue pill communities. How can this conversation reach and help the young man that’s caught in the crossfire of messages about what a man looks like, how he behaves, and what he should be accepting from women and what he should never tolerate.  In the second part of this two-part episode, Ryan walks through the critical points that cannot be ignored if we are to move the narrative forward: Gendered emotions doesn’t acknowledge men’s emotional outbursts ‘Stoics never cry’ and therefore neither should men is bullsh*t What you need to know about yourself to not get red-pilled The social media distortion that’s got you too dizzy to aim at anything If you’ve pondered “valid” points from the red or blue pill communities, how has it shaped your view of masculinity and what are you externally looking to for guidance on how to be a man that knows truth and power for himself? If you’re a woman in this space, how has this shaped the conversations with the men in your life? RYAN HOLIDAY STOIC TRUTH BOMBS: "We say men shouldn't be emotional, but we are very indulgent of men's tempers, [...] I've never lost my temper and then been proud afterwards.” “I think of Stoicism as a philosophy, I do think about it as something that's not masculine or feminine, but that it's something human.” “The practice of looking for a reason or looking for something to understand or pity even in other people is a practice I've taken out of being a parent.”  “Being the person who is principled and strict is what matters, and what's right and wrong is important, but so is compromise and collaboration.” “If you don't know what your values are, if you don't know what you stand for, if you don't know what you're trying to get to, and then you're just scrolling on your phone, then the algorithm is just serving you up what's most engaging.” “I didn't build this audience to not say what I think. I built the audience by saying what I think needs to be said, and that's what I have to keep doing. Otherwise I don't have the audience. The audience has me.” Follow Ryan Holiday: Website: https://ryanholiday.net/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanholiday  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanholiday  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanholiday/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

As you know from the recent guests I’ve had join us on the show, we’ve held a lot of conversations exploring both the red pill and blue pill communities. Looking at both sides and considering, objectively, what is true and what best serves the current state of masculinity as we see it now, we’re here for this incredible conversation to move the narrative forward and extrapolate the best ideas you can build on to think through masculinity in a novel way that empower you. Today, I have repeat guests and one of our fan favorites, Ryan Holiday joining me to weigh in on the discussion and orient us around how the stoic philosophies of Marcus Aurelius stand to the ideology of Tate and the red pill community’s narrative. Do YouTubers and influencers hold the key to masculinity, not being taken for weak or unsuccessful? Or does Marcus Aurelius and the ancient stoic philosophers have more to teach us on the idea of true masculinity, strength and control. This episode challenges you to consider the root cause for the answers many of these YouTubers and Influencers are reaching beyond truth to answer. In the first part of this two-part episode, Ryan lays out: 4 Stoic Virtues the Red & Blue Pillers Can All Build Their Life Around The True Essence of Power and Masculinity (Are you aligned with the algorithm or actual fulfillment in your life?) How Only Fans Has Made Slaves of Men’s Values & Beliefs Why Pointing Blame Everywhere Else Doesn’t Make Your Lack of Success Any Better Stick around for part two of this power packed conversation with Ryan Holiday as he runs down the stoic view of gendered emotions, not being red-pilled, and the social media distortion that’s got you too dizzy to aim at anything. RYAN HOLIDAY STOIC TRUTH BOMBS: "It's great to be driven to try to do things. But the Stoics would say, are those things driving you or are you driving them right? Or what are you a slave to? Who's actually in control of your life?” “You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react.”  “You control who you are right now, what you do in this moment, and the decision to be a responsible adult.” “I'm not going to blame other people for the fact that I am undesired, that I am unhappy, that I am unsuccessful.” “In life momentum is an incredible thing and oftentimes we despair of some destination, some far off change or transformation because we don't see how we're going to get there when really we should be focused on what the most immediate, attainable, realistic next thing is.” “The awkwardness of being bad or not visibly successful at a thing is a very underrated skill.” “They want that outcome, but they're totally paralyzed and intimidated by the process of being a nobody at that thing for a long period of time”  Follow Ryan Holiday: Website: https://ryanholiday.net/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanholiday  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanholiday  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanholiday/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

I am excited to have you join us for the second part of this two part episode with one of the leading experts on global politics and technology, Ian Bremmer.  As the current digital revolution accelerates, Bremmer's perspectives become even more relevant, helping us navigate the shifting landscapes of our time. His polarizing views come from a clear-sighted analysis of potentially devastating effects of AI. Bremmer has gained most of his recognition for his provocative insights on the pressing need for an evolved governance model involving both technology companies and governments.  Ian makes a compelling case for transparency in AI use and advocates for maintaining democratic values in the face of rapid technological change. In the second half of our conversation we turn our focus on these compelling points: The urgent need for a new governance model to regulate AI, involving collaboration between tech companies and governments. The critical importance of transparency in how AI is used. The necessity of ensuring that AI tools do not worsen societal divisions or erode democratic norms.  You will undoubtedly be intrigued by Bremmer's insights into how AI is reshaping society, and his views on ensuring that AI does not further divide society but instead, helps to create wealth and growth. IAN BREMMER QUOTES: “We are not going to be able to allow the slippage that we have had around cyber tools that we have had around terrorism and their capabilities. Our filter is going to have to be incredibly robust.” “I don’t think you can slow this, I don’t think you can stop this. I think what we need is a partnership between the technology companies and the governments…” “So much of both the upside, the value and the danger will be distributed all over the world, and that’s very different from the way we think about geopolitics. On the AI front I don’t think the US, China fight is the principle concern to worry about in the next five years.” Follow Ian Bremmer: Website: https://www.eurasiagroup.net/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ianbremmer  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianbremmer/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Get 20% OFF with our code IMPACT at calderalab.com/IMPACT.

I am excited to have you join us for this two part episode with one of the leading experts on global politics and technology, Ian Bremmer. He is a thought leader in the space who is helping to shape conversations at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), geopolitics, and national security.  As the current digital revolution accelerates, Bremmer's perspectives become even more relevant, helping us navigate the shifting landscapes of our time. His polarizing views come from a clear-sighted analysis of potentially devastating effects of AI. Bremmer has gained most of his recognition for his provocative insights on the pressing need for an evolved governance model involving both technology companies and governments.  In part 1 of this episode, we’re exploring the depths of how hyper disruptive AI is and the way it's playing out amid global power shifting and never before seen division among people.  Ian makes a compelling case for transparency in AI use and advocates for maintaining democratic values in the face of rapid technological change. Join us as we look at both sides of the proliferation of AI and find out what the new cold war looks like and deep dive with us into: The emphasis on AI and its impacts on geopolitics and national security. The looming threat of AI misuse by rogue states, terrorists, and everyday people. Ian’s stance for why a new governance model to regulate AI and collaboration is needed between tech companies and governments. IAN BREMMER QUOTES: "Big tech is essentially sovereign over the digital world.” “Whether we’re talking about society, or the economy, or even national security. If it touches the digital space, technology companies basically act with dominion.” “AI with both its productive and destructive capacities will not just be in the hands of rogue states, it will also be in the hands of people, and terrorists, and corporations, and they’ll have cutting edge access to that. It would be easier to deal with if it was just about the United States and China.” “With AI the negative externalities will happen basically simultaneously.” “Inside democracies, especially with AI, we as citizens cannot agree on what is true. We cannot agree on facts and that delegitimizes the media, it delegitimizes our leaders and both political parties, [...] it delegitimizes our judicial system order of law…” “I don’t think AI is becoming much more like human beings, [...] I think what’s actually happening is technology companies are teaching us more effectively how to engage like computers.” “We’re very valuable in driving the economy if you give us all of your attention and data. And that is how you create an optimal AI economy.” Follow Ian Bremmer: Website: https://www.eurasiagroup.net/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ianbremmer  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianbremmer/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Get 20% OFF with our code IMPACT at calderalab.com/IMPACT.

Justin Waller, the CEO and founder of RedIron, a metal construction company with an unprecedented all-women construction management team, breaks down why social media and social expectations are creating weak men. Justin is acclaimed for his well-articulated discussions on societal norms, masculinity, and why modern men NEED to realize their self worth and establish their value. And if you think men are lost because of women, money and cars, think again! We’re digging into the ‘JWaller’s Philosophy’ to explore WHY men have lost their strength, their value, and joy and consider some options for turning this around.  One of my favorite quotes from Oscar Wilde, “Everything is about sex, except sex, sex is about power,” is the launch pad for an intriguing discussion about relationships, the power dynamic of boss-babes and men that aren’t masculine enough. The central theme of our conversation today revolves around the necessity for men to establish and value their self-worth, aspire for personal fulfillment and learn how to cultivate a wholesome lifestyle. Don’t miss this conversation about the discipline, strength and respect for men aspiring for personal fulfillment. If you were ever interested in the ‘Redpill’ or ‘Manosphere’ philosophies, or trying to relate better to the men in your life, this is the episode for you. JWALLER PHILOSOPHY QUOTES: “Don’t say that you’re loyal when it’s really just your inability to garner attention from other women.” “If someone were to hurt me today, it would suck and I would have to process it just like any other human. I would feel the pain just like any other human, [...] but I don’t find it to be productive for me to shut off the ability to trust moving forward because without trust there’s no speed, and without speed there’s no money, there’s no love, there’s no growth, there’s no business and there’s no family.” “A man’s job is to be a leader and to lead with conviction.” Follow Justin Waller: Website: https://www.justinwinnwaller.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinwinwaller7/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Waller7J  Instagram: https://www.youtube.com/@JWALLER  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsor: Get 20% OFF with our code IMPACT at calderalab.com/IMPACT.

Where if we cross that point of no return we have very little chance to bring the genie back into the bottle.” “There is no shutting down AI, there is no reversing it, there is no stopping development of it.” “We’ve never created a nuclear weapon that can create nuclear weapons.” “The growth on the next chip in your phone is going to be a million times more than the computer that put people on the moon.” “When we ask computers to communicate, at first they communicate like we tell them, but if they're intelligent enough, they'll start to say, ‘that's too slow.’” “One of our better scenarios, believe it or not, is that AI ignores us altogether.” “Technology today can influence one human at a time.” Follow Mo Gawdat: Website: https://www.mogawdat.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCilMYYyoot7vhLn4Tinzmmg  Twitter: https://twitter.com/mgawdat  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mo_gawdat/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

We finish this 3 part series with Balaji Srinivasan with a deep dive into unchartered waters with mind-blowing discussions about US government power, secular nationalism and the role of fiat currency. In this conversation, Balaji exposes the fallacy of US government power, secular nationalism and the role of fiat currency. Balaji breaks down why The Network State is a formidable contender with world governments and countries leveraging alternate currencies and social networks that could revolutionize the way we think of nationalism and groups. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on these fascinating and contentious issues! What are your thoughts on the role of fiat currency and the military power of a nation in shaping its global standing and influence? Check out Balaji’s book, The Network State: How to Start A New Country: https://www.amazon.com/Network-State-How-Start-Country-ebook/dp/B09VPKZR3G  Balaji Quotes: “We may see a financial collapse in blue that makes it difficult to wage a giant war against China.” “A lot of these people who believe the US can print money or that has an invincible military are literally people who think of the government as God, they don't think it has limits, They're secular, they don't believe in the supernatural. They also don't believe in encryption and they don't believe in other states. They are secular nationalists.” “After Trump was deplatformed in early 2021 from Twitter, Trump wasn't even the most powerful man in his own country.” “Bitcoin and Ethereum are bigger than most national currencies. Social networks are bigger in scale than most countries. Tech founders are wealthier than most politicians and so on, [...] there's already been a significant transfer of sovereignty.”  Follow Balaji Srinivasan: Website: https://balajis.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/balajis/ Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

I hope you’re buckled in as we continue part 2 of this 3 part series guaranteed to stretch the limits of your thinking with the entrepreneur that bet 1 Million dollars that the US would not enter hyperinflation, Balaji Srinivasan. In this conversation, Balaji exposes the increasing political polarization between Democrats and Republicans, both in Congress and on social media networks. Brace yourself for a revelation that will make you question everything.  China's ascent as a global power and its implications is a huge concern and where this is potentially heading is why you must take this seriously. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on these fascinating and contentious issues! Check out Balaji’s book, The Network State: How to Start A New Country: https://www.amazon.com/Network-State-How-Start-Country-ebook/dp/B09VPKZR3G  Balaji Quotes: “You can't build America by hating China, you need to love America or love other Americans. It's not one country, it's two parties.” “96% of Democrats are not married Republicans. So ideology becomes biology in one generation.” “Good, is helping somebody else without concern for yourself. Smart is helping somebody else, but also helping oneself. Evil is harming somebody else while helping oneself, and stupid is harming somebody else while harming oneself.” (65) “Typically the right thinks about things in terms of heroes and individuals and the left thinks of things in terms of institutions and ideologies.” (87) “It's kind of hard to unify a gigantic swath of land without both left and right tactics, because on the right is economics and the military, but on the left is propaganda and ideology.” Follow Balaji Srinivasan: Website: https://balajis.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/balajis/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

In this conversation, Balaji really sheds light on complex government systems in a way that’s palatable and digestible. Get ready for one of the most important moments in our lifetime. Check out Balaji’s book, The Network State: How to Start A New Country: https://www.amazon.com/Network-State-How-Start-Country-ebook/dp/B09VPKZR3G  Balaji Quotes: “I do believe an enormous amount of money is going to be printed just like Ray Dalio, just like a number of other people do, and in such a case, you want to have outside money, whether that is gold, whether that is a foreign fiat currency that you have faith in.” “The safest asset in the world became the riskiest asset in the world” “This is sort of obvious, but you don't become number one by accident.”  “People will selectively excavate aspects of history and use them as a weapon” “Printing money is in a sense like official counterfeiting.”  “The U.S. exports its inflation in part because it is the consumer of all these products around the world, and the dollar is its major export, and what is a small or tolerable rise in prices in the U.S. is intolerable abroad”  Follow Balaji Srinivasan: Website: https://balajis.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/balajis/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

Emily Morse is the sex expert and host of the wildly popular podcast, Sex with Emily. If talking about sex is super uncomfortable and embarrassing for you, or if you can’t talk about it enough, Emily is the go to sex therapist and sex educator of this generation. Removing the shame of sex and giving people the information they need to have consensual, healthy, fulfilling sexual experiences with themselves and others is what she does best. We talk about why 26% of adult Americans are NOT having sex, what people get wrong about the power dynamic of sex in the bedroom, myths around human sexuality and the truth about size and penetration that may surprise men and women. Emily breaks down the untold truth about sex and exposes the unsexy lies we’re told like a pro: Why we’re in a sex recession Messaging around sex that makes it shameful and dirty How to re-educate yourself about sex, pleasure, and the power dynamic of sex between men and women Myths about human sexuality told for centuries Fantasies men have that sex is all about size and penetration The “rubik’s cube” type complexity of female sexuality that will even shock women  We want you to prioritize having a healthy sex life, deeper intimacy, and stronger connections with others and yourself. “If we're talking about the reasons why there hasn't been as much sex happening is because we're not understanding that you need to create that dynamic to create attraction and arousal." -Emily Morse Check out Smart Sex by Emily Morse here: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Sex-Boost-Your-Pleasure/dp/0778387100  Sexy Truths and Thoughts with Emily: "For any kind of attraction to happen, somebody has to be leading and somebody has to be following." “If we're talking about the reasons why there hasn't been as much sex happening is because we're not understanding that you need to create that dynamic to create attraction and arousal." “Pornography without sex education is dangerous.” “Most of the porn that you see is created by men for men under the male gaze.” “We're also more open in our desire and arousal. Women find a lot of more things more attractive than men.” “Foreplay is not a suggestion. It's actually a requirement.” “Men I have found are way more obsessed with their penises than women are.” “It makes sense that a lot of men aren't feeling great about their penises, and a lot of women aren't feeling great about their vaginas or their vulvas.” Follow Emily Morse: Website: https://sexwithemily.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/sexwithemily  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexwithemily/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sexwithemily  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SexWithEmily Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

In the second part of this mind-blowing 2 part episode with Dr Jonathan Reisman, the ER doctor with a unique perspective of the interplay between health, diet, culture and nature, we take a deeper dive into AI’s potential revolution of healthcare and personalized medicine. Dr. Jonathan Reisman is heavily influenced by his love of travel and nature. He doesn’t shy away from the unsettling aspects of life, and he approaches it all with reverence and curiosity. He’s also the author of The Unseen Body, a fascinating book I highly recommend. In this episode we look at AI’s potential to revolutionize healthcare, the complexity doctors face diagnosing and delivering life changing news to patients and what was found in the stomach of an ancient 5 year old girl that’s inspiring his next book..  Unique Perspectives from Jonathan: “A doctor’s decision making is warped and shaped by the worst things they’ve seen.” “Like everything in medicine, do the benefits outweigh the risks, and nothing is risk free.” “I’m very hesitant to apply causality when it comes to health and nutrition and lifestyle just because I feel like there’s so much that we don’t know and I wish doctor’s were tired of embarrassing themselves by declaring the truth and then seeing it overturned 20 years later.” Follow Jonathan Reisman:  Website: https://www.jonathanreisman.com/  Substack: https://jonathanreisman.substack.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonreismanMD  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonreismanmd/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

When it comes to figuring out what an optimal diet and lifestyle is for you, it becomes evident that our approach to what is optimal for each of us is radically different, which means we have to let go of the notion that any specific diet is better than the other. Dr. Jonathan Reisman is not your average ER doctor. He has one of the most unique perspectives on health, diet, and human anatomy influenced by his love of travel and nature. He doesn’t shy away from the unsettling aspects of life, but approaches it all with reverence and curiosity. He’s also the author of The Unseen Body, a fascinating book I highly recommend. “I’m very skeptical about what doctors have to say about nutrition.” -Jonathan Reisman In the first part of this 2 part episode, we get deep in the weeds of the ongoing debate between carnivores and vegans. Is one diet better than the other for our optimal health, or is your gut and environment the best indication of what’s best for you? Unique Perspectives from Jonathan: “The adaptability of the gastrointestinal tract is important, [...] our gastrointestinal tract does not look like a pure carnivore’s tract, it also doesn't look like a pure herbivore’s tract, so I think we are probably meant to be omnivores.” “Variability is a really important thing.” “Nutritional science through headlines is a very bad way to understand what’s good and what’s bad for us.” Follow Jonathan Reisman:  Website: https://www.jonathanreisman.com/  Substack: https://jonathanreisman.substack.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonreismanMD  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonreismanmd/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Visit my sponsor Future: https://tryfuture.co/Impact to get 50% off your first month!

QUOTES: “The mindset has to destroy any limitation and move forward.” “Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.” “Success is getting what you want. Fulfillment is living what you’re made for.” “If you don’t grow, I don’t give a damn how much you’ve got going for you, you’re going to be miserable.” “Great times create weak people, weak people create bad times, bad times create strong people, strong people create great times.” “Self-esteem doesn’t come from what other people say about you, self-esteem is earned within yourself.” “When identity expands your whole world expands.” “What I see is the one common denominator that people are successful over a lifetime is the sustained hunger.

If you’re following government guidelines for food and health, watch this episode very carefully, as the industry and policy lies being exposed are triggering. Calley Means has been advising politicians and prominent food and pharma companies and has founded his own company, TrueMed, to expose and change the food industries causing harm that the healthcare industry is profiting heavily. Calley shares from experience working with big food industries and losing his mother to a succession of foodborne illnesses that have everything to do with food that’s leading to cancer, Alzheimers, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions,and depression. Thoughts that exposes areas you can start rethinking and changing right away: $10 billion dollars is transferred in a year from the government to soda companies through food-stamps, part of a nutrition program designed to to help low income families. Lower income men die 11 years younger than higher income men, largely because of diet Healthcare, big pharma, food companies, and public policy makers make the solution for metabolic health sound extremely complicated, but it’s really not complicated,it’s just not beneficial for them. You and everyone around you is being sickened by preventable metabolic dysfunction. Now is the time to get educated and manage your risk and the risks to your family and the environment we live in. This may be the best place to start your research to take action on not being poisoned and blinded by the food and healthcare industry lies. Consuming ultra-processed foods, seed oils, copious amounts of sugar and highly processed grains is not in your best interest.  Referenced in this episode 60 Minutes with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford: https://youtu.be/uaYLApCdKBo  Calley Means Quotes: “Cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions, these are all going up and they are all foodborne illnesses, and the fact that there is not clear communication about that from our medical leaders and public policy leaders, I think is the biggest scandal in America and the most dangerous scandal.” “Today when you hear about the opioid crisis, 80-90% of people that overdose and die from illicit opioids, that started with a prescription pad.” “Prediabetes is violence occurring to their cells, a child born today has a 45% rate of obesity or being overweight, [...] 40% of 18 year olds right now qualify as having a mental illness.” “We need to stop recommending poison and stop subsidizing poison and the free market will figure it out.” “95% of the experts on the USDA nutrition guidelines committee receive personal payments from food and or pharma companies.” Follow Calley Means:  Website: https://www.truemed.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calleymeans/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/calleymeans  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

How is it possible a healthy diet doesn’t increase your lifespan! Is it all for nothing? Today we’re diving into longevity myths we’ve believed for too long. Peter Attia, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of the popular fasting app, you probably have downloaded right now, Zero, and the bestselling author, podcast host, and longevity health expert, is breaking the mold and exposing why we’ve been thinking about lifespan and healthspan all wrong. His latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like.  In part 2 of this 2 part episode, Peter starts breaking apart the calorie debate and why it doesn’t hold, the emotional side of longevity no one talks about, and how to know which of the 4 horsemen of death is coming for you. Peter is exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and how quality of healthspan and length of life are very different. Peter simplifies how to optimize your efforts now for a longer lifespan with quality. Think about what you want to be able to do in 40-50 years and start managing your exercise and lifestyle for that.

Living longer is accomplished by living longer without disease.” “True prevention needs a set of tools that medicine 2.0 doesn’t participate in. Medicine 2.0, which is the medical system that everyone of us who’s trained goes through, is largely a pharmacologic playbook.” Follow Peter Attia:  Website: https://peterattiamd.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterAttiaMD  Twitter: https://twitter.com/peterattiamd  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterattiamd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterattiamd/  Podcast: https://peterattiamd.com/podcast/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://apple.co/3nmbhPY Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

His latest book, Outlive, debunks many of the ideas you may have sworn by around diet and what an optimized lifespan looks like.  In part 1 of this 2 part episode, Peter raises really interesting points on how the size of a person doesn’t accurately point toward metabolic health. One-third of the people that meet the criteria for obesity are actually metabolically healthy and have the same life expectancy of a person with a “healthier” BMI. What we’re getting wrong about longevity? Diet isn’t the cure-all it was presented to be Someone with an obese BMI can be metabolically fit A lean person who’s metabolically unhealthy has worst outcomes We’re exposing common misbeliefs around longevity and Peter, being the longevity health expert he is, is highlighting the differences between lifespan and healthspan that is critical in how we achieve success for each of these outcomes.

Only 12% of Americans are metabolically fit. Metabolic flexibility may not be the first thing you think of when fasting comes up, but it is one of fasting’s many benefits. Intermittent fasting is often used as a tool for weight loss, but it’s not done properly in most cases. Dr. Mindy Pelz is the holistic expert grabbing millions of people’s attention by educating them about fasting, weight loss, and reclaiming their health. Mindy is a recognized leader and pioneer in the fasting movement. Mindy’s depth of knowledge with fasting for men and women shows in how practical and not complicated she makes fasting . In this episode Dr. Mindy really simplifies fasting at every stage, whether you’re a seasoned pro at fasting or brand new and not sure where to start. Mindy’s approach and belief is that the body can heal itself and optimal health and weight management can be achieved through the simplicity of intermittent fasting Doing the same fast for too long is the best approach to fasting Change 3 things today as you start fasting to improve metabolic flexibility Fasting is about healing in our natural state not just weight loss Fasting myths, low carb food lies, and cauliflower pizza devastation  It’s best to focus on glucose spikes not counting calories Check out Mindy’s book, Fast Like a Girl: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Like-Girl-Healing-Hormones/dp/1401969925  QUOTES: “If you want the whole world of fasting to become much easier, the first thing is to change three ingredients. Change your oils, change your carbs, [...] and get off any toxic ingredients.” “Fasting is like sleeping, it is our natural healing state.” This is how your body burns fat. It does not burn fat by manipulating food, it burns fat by manipulating when you eat and how much time you’re giving the body a break from whatever food you’ve chosen, that’s how you lose fat.”  “We’ve overcomplicated food and we need to just come back to how do I get that food in its most natural state where it hasn’t been touched by man, and then I pair that with these different fasting windows. I truly believe that is the diet that most humans should be working from and that’s how we end chronic disease.” “We often don’t need motivation to eat different, we need momentum.” “I want to make health approachable for everybody, not just the people who can afford it or the people who can understand it…” Follow Mindy Pelz:  Website: https://drmindypelz.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrMindyPelz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmindypelz/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drmindypel Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://apple.co/3nmbhPY Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

You probably think that lowering your body fat is the healthy thing to do, and assume that gaining or carrying more body fat is unhealthy. Most of us would think that’s common sense at this point, but what if that’s all wrong? In this episode expect to walk away shocked and a little befuddled: Get into the science of body fat and all the benefits you get from having adequate fat The appearance of how much or how little fat someone has is misleading Stop complicating food and exercise, don’t overeat, eat diverse foods, and enjoy eating  Dr. William Li is a Harvard trained medical doctor, researcher and the NY Times bestselling author of the books, Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet. Dr. Li’s work with the Angiogenesis Foundation has led to 40 FDA approved therapeutics and devices for treating disease.  Mixed messages and dated information have become accepted truths baked into our habits and reasoning.

Until now, you probably haven’t associated infertility with the collapse of our global population. From the U.S. to India, to South Korea, Canada, the U.K. and more, fertility rates are reaching critical levels. Humans now meet 3 criterias for being an endangered species.  If that doesn’t have you totally rattled yet, our guest today, Dr. Shanna Swan, epidemiologist best known for research she published in 2017 which set off alarms and caught the attention of major media and scholars around the world, joins Tom to highlight the many factors contributing to a 50% drop in fertility rates, testosterone, and reproductive function.  Shanna’s work quickly became the world’s 26th most referenced scientific paper, and her latest book, Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, delivers a less than optimistic view of guaranteed economic population collapse. The information Dr. Shanna shares brings up major concerns for the future of humanity as a species and for our current health. Chemicals leading to our extinction have some government incentivizing people to have sex and procreate. Women’s education and rights to contraception, and urbanization are contributing to women’s lack of interest in birthing 5 and 6 kids. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are nearly unavoidable as they’re in what you eat, drink and breathe The under masculinization of males is an actual problem impacting their lifespan  Lifestyle factors are part of this conversation and include obesity, stress, binge drinking, and poor metabolic health Shanna gives a masterclass on phthalates, a chemical found in plastics that make them softer, helps products be more absorbable, holds scent and color better in everyday products we’re accustomed to using, and she shares a simple poem to help you identify safer recycled plastic options. Looking at the number on your plastic bottles, commit this to memory… “5,4,1 and 2 all the rest are bad for you.” Resources Mentioned:  Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline by Darrell Bricker & John Ibbitson Consumer Guide to Safer Products: https://www.ewg.org/consumer-guides  World bank fertility data: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN   Check out Dr. Shanna Swan’s books, Count Down: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1982113669  Follow Dr. Shanna Swan:  Website: https://www.shannaswan.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drshannaswan/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrShannaSwan Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://apple.co/3nmbhPY Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

The future of jobs, democracy and humanity are constantly changing and constantly being threatened with the rise of technology. With the rise of social media, biotech, and infotech covering everything from your social life, your online life, to your healthcare, algorithms and artificial intelligence are inescapable and highly influencing your decisions, thoughts and emotional state. Yuval Noah Hariri is best known for the profound and influential work he did giving a complete overview of human history in his bestseller, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Yuval looks at how technology and cultural beliefs impact human progress. Yuval is a historian and professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the co-founder of the social impact company Sapienship. In this episode with Yuval, we’re forced to question, what are the real issues we’re facing as humanity? Even more importantly, are you prepared to survive and thrive in this world shaped by data, biotech, algorithms, and corruption? Yuval and Tom explores ideas around Constructing your own story Understanding power and how it corrupts 3 principles you need to thrive future Yuval Hariri thoughts: “It’s the first time that we invent something that can take power away from us, [...] every previous invention in history gave more power to humans.” “Somebody that has all the information of all the people, they basically control everybody.” “Humans don’t really fight about objective biological things, [...] they fight about fantasies in their mind.” “When info-tech merges with biotech what you get is the ability to create algorithms that understand me better than I understand myself.” “Our identity is really just a story which we constantly construct and embellish. The entire human mind is a machine that constantly produces stories, and especially one very important story, which is my story.” “Fantasies often shape history and cause people to do terrible things.” Follow Yuval Noah Harari: Website: https://www.ynharari.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/harari_yuval Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Prof.Yuval.Noah.Harari Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yuval_noah_harari/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@YuvalNoahHarari Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://apple.co/3nmbhPY Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

We may have unintentionally swung the pendulum on women’s rights and equality in a way that is creating unforeseen consequences for men and boys. We’re talking about male inequality and sorting through some of the biggest contributing factors affecting fathers, sons, husbands, and boyfriends. The mounting data is telling a story of women being able to live well without the need for men and in the absence of a well defined male role in our modern society, men are on the decline. Males are struggling with education, agency, purpose, and seeing higher numbers of suicide.  Richard Reeves joins Tom Bilyeu to highlight some key points that we as a society must take into consideration as we decide how to move forward. Richard was named one of the top 50 thinkers in the US for his work on class and inequality. He’s also the author of the book, Of Boys and Men. Disturbing factors Richard is underlining in this conversation includes: Women no longer need marriage to survive and marriage is proving to be more important to men than women Deinstitutionalization of masculinity in a cultural problem Biology, culture, and the individual thrive together and not apart from one another Check out Richard Reeves book, Of Boys and Men: https://www.amazon.com/Boys-Men-Modern-Struggling-Matters/dp/0815739877  QUOTES: “Boys and girls are struggling in different ways at different points in their lives." “When you took the brakes off women, it turns out they can drive the car faster.” “We have to think about biology and culture as co-evolving and most importantly recognizing biological differences doesn’t make culture less important, it makes it more important because culture is how we learn how to express or not express these tendencies, or when it’s appropriate to express them and when it’s not appropriate to express them.” “A big reason for the gender pay gap is parenting, [...] it’s not just that mothers earn and work less, it’s that fathers earn and work more, and that drives the gender pay rate up significantly.” “There is a problem right now with boys and men, and one of the sources of that problem is, we don’t have a new script for masculinity. We’ve torn up the old one, the breadwinning one, but we haven’t replaced it.” Follow Richard Reeves Website: https://richardvreeves.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichardvReeves  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richardv.reeves  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://apple.co/3nmbhPY RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

You should be aware of social inequalities that perpetuate injustice, but where does awareness cross the line and potentially become harmful to you and the society you’re part of? Konstantin Kisin is a comedian, social commentator and podcast host of the show TRIGGERnometry which celebrates freedom of speech. He’s had guest on such as Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro while tackling the harder conversations around woke culture, war, and highly sensitive politics most people avoid.  Konstantin has been named Jewish comedian of the year and has played at some of the UK’s biggest comedy clubs. In this two part episode Konstantin is discussing woke culture, the idea that victimhood sells and is therefore incentivized to younger people. Tom and Konstantin explore the Western culture values that should be preserved and the danger of a toxic culture that rather complain about injustices that actually go to work on finding real solutions and fixing problems/ The idea of trading things that work for ideas that merely sound good is discussed quite a bit and it’s influenced by Thomas Sowell’s quote from his book Is Reality Optional, “much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.” QUOTES: “The very best things that I’ve experienced has been the result of overcoming adversity.” “If you have a system which amplifies ideas that sound good but don’t work that’s how you end up in the position that we’re in.” “There are things that will cause human suffering now that will cause human flourishing ten years from now. Delayed gratification.” “As someone who has experienced racism, I don’t think it should be illegal to be racist or to say racist things. It should be illegal to discriminate against people because of their race, [...] but people should be allowed to have and express pretty much any opinion in my view.” “In many ways I would argue that free speech is unnatural and that’s why it has to be fought for repeatedly.” Follow Konstantin Kisin: Website: http://konstantinkisin.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin  Podcast: https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/konstantinkisin/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

It should be illegal to discriminate against people because of their race, [...] but people should be allowed to have and express pretty much any opinion in my view.” “In many ways I would argue that free speech is unnatural and that’s why it has to be fought for repeatedly.” Follow Konstantin Kisin: Website: http://konstantinkisin.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin  Podcast: https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/konstantinkisin/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

If you think you really understand Alzheimer's, think again! Alzheimer’s is scary to witness up close and personal and even scarier when you consider that anyone who’s had Covid-19 is at an increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s!  How many people in your immediate life does that impact? This conversation is for the people who’ve had Covid-19, people who want to think sharper, and people who are worried about developing Alzheimer’s. An astounding 45 million people currently living in America will die with Alzheimer’s disease and according to Dr Dale Bredesen, this number dwarfs the high rates of death we just experienced with Covid-19, it’s just a slower process. This special episode is a panel discussion with two of the world’s leading experts on Alzheimer’s, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Richard Johnson. Dr. Bredesen is an international neurodegenerative expert and the author of, The First Survivors of Alzheimers, a book that spotlights first person accounts of his patients that not only survived Alzheimers, but who got back a second life to live with meaning and fulfillment. Dr. Richard Johnson, the fructose expert, wrote the book, Nature Wants Us To Be Fat. His focus and research points to the connection between Alzheimer’s disease and sugar. This conversation between experts is enlightening and has a few points you’ll want to take note of to further discuss with your healthcare professional. Dr. Bredesen reveals why a complete assessment of your brain, blood levels and more needs to be completed as early as 40 years old to start taking preventative measures to protect yourself from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s has been referred to as type 3 diabetes and both experts agree that this disease is an insulin resistant state of the brain. What can you start doing today to lower your risks and the risks of the people you love?  QUOTES: “My generation, the old timers now, is the last generation that should fear Alzheimer’s, it is literally becoming optional” -Dale Bredesen “Features of metabolic syndrome which is obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, all of these are risk factors for Alzheimer’s.” -Richard Johnson “Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are two major culprits that probably have a role in the cause of Alzheimer’s.” -Richard Johnson “So many people get this wrong, a keto diet versus a plan rich keto diet, it makes all the difference. For brain health you want a plant rich ketogenic diet with appropriate periods of fasting.” -Dale Bredesen “When you’re talking about Alzheimer’s you’re also talking about mental performance.” -Dale Bredesen “People who developed Covid-19 are at increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s.” -Dale Bredesen FOLLOW Dr. Dale Bredesen: Website: https://www.apollohealthco.com/dr-bredesen/  LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dale-bredesen-2ab0651/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drdalebredesen/ Follow Richard Johnson:  Website: https://drrichardjohnson.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drrichardjjohnson/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

When we talk about testosterone, it’s mostly associated with men, and when it’s too low it’s a big problem for libido and physique among other things. In reality it’s an important hormone for everyone, women included, but not many women are as concerned with TRT or testosterone replacement therapy like men are. TRT and any kind of hormonal therapy is a big deal and should be approached with caution and lots of research. As a generally healthy male thinking about TRT, how much thought should you be giving to optimizing your testosterone levels over optimizing your physique for optimal health? This episode is a deep dive into the kinds of things men will want to consider when thinking about testosterone, burning fat and building muscle. It goes without saying, your quality of sleep and diet play a major role in monitoring your testosterone.

Derek of More Plates More Dates, shares his thoughts on what you should consider doing if you want to get jacked in 18 months being natty and how to differentiate being lazy from being defeated by unrealistic expectations of what’s achievable without drug enhancements.

Millions of people are basically being tricked and misled into poor “healthy” food choices that make you unhealthy and even more overweight.

It’s going to explain why exercise isn’t the best thing for most people to start with that are trying to lose weight.

Human behavior even when it seems to be erratic is predictable. In fact, CIA super spy, Andrew Bustamante says “humans are laughably predictable.” If this is true, then why do you struggle with relationships and achieving our desired outcomes? Former CIA intelligence officer, Andrew Bustamante teaches spy hacks to help people get the ultimate advantage in business and life. The CIA taught Andrew a better way of explaining what reality actually is; he now demonstrates how espionage shapes life for everyday people like you. This interview covers some really interesting areas of human psychology that you may be aware of but haven’t fully connected the dots on. People are motivated to survive with given resources, and learning how their motivations shape their drive and personality puts you in control of your relationships and the opportunities you decide to move on. Key topics Andrew touches on in this episode: -The 3 lives everyone lives but not everyone admits to -Why the people ultimately self-destruct -How the new world power transition plays out over the next 10 years -The bloodless war in China to keep your eye on -Foreign power influence in US elections Recommended reading: Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang, Jon Halliday, et al The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine by Anne Applebaum, Suzanne Toren, et al QUOTES: “What CIA taught me was a better way of explaining what reality actually is, and the reality is that 98 percent of human beings are trapped in their own perception, so the two percent that live in the real world that have perspective, they are able to manipulate the perception of everybody else.” “It’s how you use another human’s predictability that defines whether you typecast as hero or villain.” “The more a person’s resources are depleted, the closer they get to their true Myers-Briggs personality.” “Questions are always being asked by the person in control of the conversation.” “Confidence is a perception, not a real thing. Confidence is how you perceive your own emotional reaction or your own emotional relationship with the environment around you.” “We are hardwired to survive, we are not wired to thrive.” Follow Andrew Bustamante: Website: https://everydayspy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverydaySpy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/everydayspy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayspy/ Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist and Science Author, has proposed a theory of consciousness that challenges your everyday assumptions about what reality is. His argument is that our perceptions of cause and effect and what we experience in the physical world isn’t as real as you’d like to think. The metaphor of the virtual headset he uses in these conversations with Tom explains why our experiences are limited and there are things like freewill that we never truly experience. If that’s not heavy enough for you, Hoffman bring mathematical equations into the picture to explain that all consciousness is mathematically structured. This episode is a complete crash course into the world of Donald Hoffman and the illusion of space, time and reality. Some areas you’ll hear explored in this episode include: Is Cause and effect real? The God hypothesis and consciousness Why your reality isn’t real The Truth behind consciousness How evolution hides the matrix (and what’s the red pill) Testing reality & spacetime Can you actually escape the matrix? Do you think it’s possible life is a simulation and we’re in some version of a virtual reality headset? QUOTES: “Everything that I believe about me is very different than I believed when I was five, and so over the years and decades of my life, I’ve put together this story of myself, [...] a self is a story that we weave, it’s a narrative that we give.” “That’s something about a really good scientific theory, once you write it down you become a student of your theory.” “The equations become smarter than the genius who wrote them down.” “You can’t directly experience your own free choices. You can experience that you chose, but you can never actually experience yourself choosing.” “Mathematics is like the bones of the living conscious experience, they can’t be divorced from each other. There’s more to experience than just math, but there’s not less than math.” “At the foundation of every scientific theory there’s this moment of humility, explanation stops here.” “We’re creating reality as we render it.” “When we have babies, in a way that we don’t understand, we’re opening new portals into the realm of consciousness.” Follow Donald Hoffman: Website:http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/  Email: ddhoff@uci.edu  Twitter: https://twitter.com/donalddhoffman  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donalddhoffman/  Get ready to unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

“Obesity is a choice. This doesn’t mean it’s easy to solve, but it is a choice. YOU MUST accept this or you will never solve this problem.” -Sal Di Stefano The statement above either has you nodding your head in agreement or has you feeling a bit pissed off. If being overweight has been a recent or even a lifelong struggle for you, it’s hard to hear that you’re actually choosing to be overweight, but when you understand the power of extreme ownership over every area of your life, including your body you may start approaching your health much differently. Whenever health and weight loss come up, without a doubt diet and exercise are part of the conversation and first on most people’s minds. What if there are other factors more important to not just losing weight, but to keeping the weight off long term? What if exercise isn’t as important as we’ve been told? This episode with Sal Di Stefano is exposing the lies millions of people fall for that lose weight every year only to gain it back. Why is Sal so confident after 20 years in fitness that obesity is a choice people are repeating day after day? Sal Di Stefano is the co-founder and CEO of Mind Pump Media, podcast host of Mind Pump dedicated to delivering the absolute raw truth on health and fitness, and the bestselling author of The Resistance Training Revolution. If you find yourself choosing foods based on taste and convenience, if everything you try to lose weight ultimately leads to more weight gain and you’re over being obese, being unhealthy, and being unhappy with the way you feel, make sure you’re taking action today and asking yourself the one question Sal says will change your life. QUOTES: “You have to accept the things that you can’t change, but you also have to take responsibility for the things that you can.” “Years ago as a trainer, I first started out thinking that losing weight will help people become happy. It took me ten years to figure out, you first had to learn to be happy before you could really lose weight.” “We use food rarely as a way to nourish ourselves, and rarely do we eat because we’re genuinely hungry. Most people in modern societies never really feel true hunger.” “The fitness space is riddled with bodies that look ripped that belong to extremely unhealthy, dysfunctional individuals.” “Obesity is a very outward, visible, obvious sign of poor health or dysfunction.” Follow Sal Di Stefano:  Website: https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MindPumpTV  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Mindpump  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindpumpmedia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindpump/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindpumpmedia?lang=en  Podcast: https://mindpumppodcast.com/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

The banking crisis we’re experiencing has us at a tipping point we can’t ignore. Hopefully it's causing you to be more thoughtful about money, what it really is, how it works, and how you can better leverage it. The banking system is set up in a way that encourages hyperinflation and incentivizes more debt and investment strategies as a hedge against inflation. The current $8 trillion dollar bailout package happening over the last three years is 10 times over the 2008 bailouts! This is for sure cause for alarm. Robert Breedlove has been the bitcoin philosopher and thought leader for hundreds of millions of people. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft will grab your attention when you hear about inflation from the context of systemic theft. How many more trillions of dollars will the Fed continue to print and how many more banks will have to collapse before we have your full attention on the economic disaster happening? QUOTES: “Inflation is legal counterfeiting, counterfeiting is criminal inflation. So central banking is a coordinated currency counterfeiting cartel that runs the world.” “Only in the fraud of fractional reserve banking is the specter of a bank run even possible whatsoever. I think that's very important to note.” “This entire system of fractional reserve banking is not made to persist. It cannot persist over time because you fundamentally have a mismatch of assets and liabilities.” “The central bank has not only the precedent but also the incentive to continue printing the money until the currency hyperinflation into worthlessness.” Follow Robert Breedlove: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43_LTf5Z4lbRjKCq0sIAVg Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/breedlove22/ Podcast: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breedlove_22/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

If you’re one that avoids economic news, politics, and global matters you may want to pause and lean into this conversation as an objective view of reality with historical context. These are scary uncertain times we’re living through with an entire banking system failing, politics with one agenda to divide the country, and the battle for global power. With the economic crisis unfolding before us, you have a decision to make on how you respond in this moment. No one can tell you what is best for you, but as Ray Dalio puts it, he wants you to at least understand the mechanics of what is happening so you can do your own analysis of what’s best for you. Ray Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater, a billionaire investor, and bestselling author, joins Tom for a sobering conversation about the obvious problems with banking causing its collapse and the moment in time we’re facing with global conflicts on the rise. The emphasis is on understanding the mechanics and knowing what to look for and how you’ll respond. Ray shares valuable insights on the way banking works, why the collapse of SVB was obvious, the 6 cycle trend that sees the rise and fall of empires, and 3 tiers of security you can put in place for yourself. Ray Dalio has decades of experience, knowledge, and learnings he’s put together his books, Principles: Life and Work, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order, and video content he’s made freely available on his YouTube channel for everyone that values truth and radical honesty. Check out Ray’s video mentioned in this episode, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: https://youtu.be/xguam0TKMw8 QUOTES: “One man’s debts are another man’s assets.” “It’s not safe because I’m losing money to inflation.” “We know we’re going to have financial problems and economic problems at the same time that we have this internal fighting and this external risky situation.” “When we think about safety we have to think about that as purchasing power.” “You as an individual should think about the total safety, including maybe that terrible scenario doesn’t happen, and if you do that you will come to a better balance decision.” “To be financially strong requires you to not spend more than you earn.” Follow Ray Dalio: Website: https://www.principles.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RayDalio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raydalio/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqvaXJ1K3HheTPNjH-KpwXQ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

Over 1 billion users a month for ChatGPT, over 100,000 users and $45 million in revenue for Jasper A.I., and the race to adopting A.I. at scale has begun. Does the global adoption of artificial intelligence have you concerned or apprehensive about what’s to come? On one hand it’s easy to get caught up in the possibilities of co-existing with A.I. living the enhanced upgraded human experience. We already have tech and A.I. integrated into so many of our daily habits and routines: Apple watches, ora rings, social media algorithms, chat bots, and on and on. Yoshua Bengio has dedicated more than 30 years of his computer science career to deep learning. He’s an award winning computer scientist known for his breakthroughs in artificial neural networks. Why after 3 decades contributing to the advancement of A.I. systems is Yoshua now calling to slow down the development of powerful A.I. systems? This conversation is about being open-minded and aware of the dangers of AI we all need to consider from the perspective of one of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence. Conscious computers, A.I. trolls, and the evolution of machines and what it means to be a neural network are just a few of the things you’ll find interesting in this conversation. QUOTES: “We need to be maybe much more careful and provide much more of guidance and guardrails in regulation, to minimize potential harm that could come out of more and more powerful systems.” “I would say misinformation, disinformation is the greatest large-scale danger.” “With AI becoming more powerful, I think it's time to really accelerate that process of regulating to protect the public, and society.” “The most important message is that we have reached a point where the precautionary principle needs to kick in quickly.” “Technology has reached a point where it can be very damaging, and there's too much unknown of how this can happen and when it will happen.” “I think we can have AI systems that have no goals, no wants, but they're just trained to do good inference, to learn as well as possible about the world from the data they have, and to recalculate to us what are good answers to the questions we're asking.” Follow Yoshua Bengio: Website: https://yoshuabengio.org/  RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

What if the key to success and happiness you imagine is totally wrong? Maybe you think success is to be chased and happiness will happen when you finally arrive at the destination you set out for years ago. Matthew McConaughey, the Academy-Award winning actor and New York Times bestselling author of the incredible book about his approach to life, Greenlights, is sharing his wisdom, revelations, and lessons on what’s been true for him in the pursuit of happiness and levels of success most only dream of. Achieving success and happiness in your life requires you to learn how to hold competing ideas at the same time. It’s knowing when to go all in and go hard for what you envision and what gives you joy and energy. It’s also knowing when to step back and appreciate where you are on your journey because those moments matter and they keep you grounded. Matthew has created a free virtual event, The Art of Livin, to help others get the results they’re looking for in pursuit of happiness and success. In this conversation he reveals to Tom why the vision he often chased was rarely what he thought it would be when he started the pursuit. Check out Matthew’s Free Virtual Live Event April 24th: http://tomlivin.com/ QUOTES: “The headline I chase is always different than I thought it would be when I got there.” “I got more results when I got obsessed with the process than I did when I was chasing results.” “We have to start admitting more, not judging, [...] let’s admit the lies that we tell ourselves, let’s admit the lies that we believe the world tells us.” “The more truly selfish we are to serve ourselves, the more we can serve others.” “Commitment to get obsessed with making something work is a wonderful freedom.” Follow Matthew McConaughey: Website: https://artoflivinevent.com/save-my-seat Twitter: https://twitter.com/McConaughey Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MatthewMcConaughey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officiallymcconaughey/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MatthewMcConaughey RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

No one wants to settle for a dead end job, and no one wants to work every day in a company they don’t like, doing work they have no interest in. Showing up to work for the money, for familial obligations, and to maintain a lifestyle is not rewarding or fulfilling. Tom is breaking down key moves and the mindset shifts you need to make in order to have success in your workplace no matter what you do. You can turn a bad job into the opportunity of a lifetime when you stop focusing outwardly on everything and everyone else, and start owning what you are capable of. In 30 minutes, you’re going to learn why setting the bar ridiculously high for yourself and outperforming everyone (including yourself) is going to change your career and make you the most valued player on the team anywhere you work. Become indispensable and execute at the highest level. SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Success on the Job 0:41 | Outperform Everyone on the Job 5:12 | Find Solutions to Company Problems 8:18 | Never Burnout on the Job 14:47 | Fan the Flames of Passion 23:15 | Know Where You Want to Go QUOTES: “There really is only one path to success, and that is, you're going to have to set the bar ridiculously high, and then surpass all expectations” [0:49] “It's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care about the credit.” [2:59] “I want to be indispensable. I want people to have fear of loss with me. I want them to be afraid that I'm going to leave because I'm delivering so much value.” [4:09] “Instead of asking what your job description is, figure out what problems the company faces, and what role can you play in helping make those problems go away.” [5:26] “Don't think of yourself as being bound by your job description. Think of yourself as being bound by your skill set” [8:01] “I make the demand that even hard work is done in a joyful manner. So I am at all times pursuing fulfillment in a joyful manner.” [10:29] “Passion is not an archeological dig. It's an architectural build.” [15:18] “Once you realize that your life is an exact reflection of your choices. [...] if you make different choices, you get different outcomes.” [22:36] “People that end up succeeding are not the ones that just never make a mistake. They're the ones that aren't afraid to make a mistake, or they're certainly not paralyzed by it” [25:39] “If you hate your job, and you want to find fulfillment, and you want purpose. You also have to assign meaning and purpose.” [27:34] Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

You just want to look better, feel better, have bigger muscles, tighter skin, and a sexier body you can enjoy and be proud of. The information and narratives floating around on how to achieve that are all over the place, and understanding how to discern what the takeaway action is going to be for you to achieve results is really what you need. Matt Kaeberlein, Director of the Biological Mechanisms of Healthy Aging Training Program, and founder and co-Director of the Dog Aging Project, is a biologist best known for his research on evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of aging. When you’re doing your own research into what things you can be doing to optimize your health and lifespan, Matt warns that you’ll need to be careful of research studies with narratives that lean one-sided. Some of the key ideas Matt and Tom discuss in this episode around anti-aging that will perk up your ears are: Why Matt calls BS on “Reverse-Aging” What the drug Rapamycin has the potential to do for long term health What metrics should we be measuring for good health and anti-aging With all the years of experience from Matt Kaeberlein as a biologist specializing in anti-aging, he confirms that exercise and nutrition are as effective as exogenous drugs such as Rapamycin. Are we busy trying to create complicated solutions to anti-aging, longevity and health that plain old boring nutrition and exercise can take care of already? Check out Matt Kaeberlein’s Dog Aging Project: https://dogagingproject.org/ QUOTES: “We know things like rapamycin, [...] can reverse some of the functional declines that go along with aging.” “I’m not so sure that exercise and nutrition are fundamentally different from rapamycin. Exercise hits the hallmarks of aging, it affects biological aging.” Follow Matt Kaeberlein: Website: https://kaeberlein.org/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mkaeberlein Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dogagingproject/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: Go to hostinger.com/impact and use code IMPACT to get 10% OFF your new website!

Why are most people struggling to get ahead? They’re struggling to get ahead in their career, their business, their relationships, and even in the battle they have every day with themselves. If you’re like most, you turn to the most popular books, courses, and communities that seem promising. You get pumped and feel like a freaking rockstar in the middle of it all, but the second you’re back alone with yourself nothing f*cking changes! That is what we call spiritual entertainment. The problem isn’t getting the information you need or access to better resources, the problem is that you’re not effectively implementing the ideas you hear because your behavior never changes. What do you do when self-help isn’t changing a damn thing in your life? Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and the man that helped write Will Smith’s memoir, Will has gone from struggling blogger to thought leader in self-help.  This episode is exactly what you need to stop being your own victim of self-help failures. Mark’s 3 universal principles will help you break the spiritual entertainment cycle, stop feeling bad about where you are and start embracing the kind of action and validation that will actually get results. QUOTES: “How do we leverage the social pressure of the internet in a positive way instead of the negative way?” “Responsibility is so important because it empowers you psychologically.” “Many people may own my past but only I own my future. I need to explicitly take responsibility in making sure it’s a good future.” “You don’t stop feeling bad. You feel bad, you find a way to respond well despite feeling bad.” Follow Mark Manson: Website: https://markmanson.net/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmMarkManson  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Markmansonnet/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmanson/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: Go to hostinger.com/impact and use code IMPACT to get 10% OFF your new website!

It is one thing to be the toughest woman in the room and it is entirely another thing to be the toughest person in the room. When you allow yourself to be haunted by past fears and failures you put yourself at a disadvantage and lock your potential away in the safety of a box. In this episode today, one of the toughest and most resilient people you will ever come across joins Tom to share her insight on what it takes to beat the odds and kick ass, failure after failure. Lupita Nyong’o said, “It’s only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you’re not expressing the utmost of your human experience.” The essence of being a total badass, owning your failure and swinging hard to conquer no one but yourself is what Sarah Robb O’Hagan brings to the table. Get ready to take action, it’s the only way forward. QUOTES: “I just don't want to get fired, so I will do anything to help and support and listen and learn and truly, like that is what I think made me successful there because I was a sponge like taking it all in and recognizing there was a hell of a lot more that I needed to learn to be good” [7:28] “I’ve learned along the way when you are trying to be something you’re not that is when you lose your confidence” [10:20] “The minute you acknowledge what you did you have control over changing that.” [17:23] “Don’t ever worry that someone didn’t ask you to do something, just get on and do it.” [25:41] “It’s about getting them to understand that you will be happy and fulfilled if you do whatever you do in your life off of your own steam, [...] For me the single biggest learning is like, don’t look for shortcuts, don’t look for people to give you handouts. Go figure it out for yourself because that is what will make you the most satisfied happy person you can be” [30:15] “I just have worked in predominantly male industries the whole way through, and it just I never even really noticed that I was the only woman at the table very often, I just was like ‘well fuck I’m here’, so I am going to do the best I can and it’s up to me to outperform my peer group whoever they are.” [32:14] “Until you’ve been to the depths of the canyon of despair like that’s where the learning and the growth comes from and you come back so much stronger on the other side.

If you don’t understand how to manage your money then your chance of achieving financial success and freedom goes to zero. When you don’t know the rules to the game of money it's almost impossible to win. Wallstreet Trapper built the skills he needed to become a fundamental investor, a speaker, a stock market education, and an entrepreneur after doing over 8 years in prison, selling drugs and not having any advantages in life. One of the best things you can consider doing to improve your finances is to get into stocks, learn how to leverage real estate and build a business that generates value. Something you’ll want to consider from this episode: Have you learned the money game Are you prepared to exit the money matrix How can you become an investor What is keeping 99% of people broke QUOTES: “Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money, they make their money work for them and they give as much value to people as they can.” “Just coming up in the streets you only see the game from the lowest level, and you look at everybody else in part admiration and part jealousy.” “Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.” “Once I broke the game down to a way I could understand it, it wasn’t about me being brilliant , it was like how do I make the game winnable for me” “Everybody won’t be able to build a million dollar business, but everybody can invest in one.” “If you’re bold enough to bet on the future and be patient enough to let it take place you will win and you will win big.” “A dollar that’s not moving is a dollar that’s losing.” Follow Wallstreet Trapper: Website: https://www.wallstreettrapper.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Wallstreet504 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR6hXiWOlFWc46qMFMClKHA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wall_street_trapper/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

If you’re about that hustle culture life then you’ve either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat? Matt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he’s vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve.  The plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald’s and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He’s sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn’t the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you’re more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success. This conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option. Eliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success. QUOTES: “I am the greatest undisputed expert there’ll ever be about myself holds true till this day.” “It is 1000% true that the only way to achieve extraordinary things is if you don’t have a plan B.” “My boat is a metaphor for the internal and external things that prevent us from fully committing.” “The number one answer to everything is face everything.” “We’ve lost our way from the celebration of the individual.” “Most people believe that they have to have this approach towards incrementalism and they deny themselves the benefit of reaching really far.” “I’m always trying to put myself in positions that are a tremendous reach.” “If you have a dream do not submit to incrementalism before you’ve tested the idea of a step change.” “There’s a gravitational pull of incrementalism because incrementalism is the only thing for which we have data to validate our choices.” Follow Matt Higgins: Website: https://www.burntheboatsbook.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BurnTheBoatsBook  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mhiggins/  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

If you only focus on getting this one thing right, you would instantly improve your focus, your energy and stamina, boost your productivity and literally change the course of your entire day. The problem is that if you’re not serious about doing ALL the things you talk about doing, then you're about to watch or listen to this episode, nod your head, get pumped up for a few minutes and get right back to doing the same things that get you the same results you’ve been getting. So are you about that life or not? If you’re tired of going through every day exhausted and showing up to every area of your life tired, unfocused and half productive, then this is for you. So, grab the pen and paper and let’s start planning out how to actually get started on an evening routine that will change your life for good. Take note of the sleep disruptors you’ve been entertaining for so long that you don’t even think of them as interfering with your sleep. In this hustle culture, too many people are practically bragging about their lack of sleep, poor time management, and no freaking clue how to prioritize as a distraction and cover up to the reality that SLEEP is one of the lead dominos people have to get right in order to go full on beast mode in any and every other area of their lives. When are you eating your last meal of the day? What time are you getting to bed every night? Are you protecting yourself and your mind from stress before bed? Let’s be honest about the mistakes we’re making so we can get real about the solutions and what it’s going to take to get there. QUOTES: “If you’re trying to regulate your circadian rhythm it's really important to go right outside and get the light on your skin [in the morning].” “I don’t do drugs, but I do stress, that one I do. So, every time I mess up my sleep, 95% of the time it’s because I ingest something stressful right before I go to sleep.” “Remember caffeine is a potent drug, so if you treat it like a drug I think you will make fewer mistakes in keeping your sleep hygiene on point.” “Not being able to sleep well is its own ring of hell.” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Right now there are two kinds of people reading this. You’re either super excited about AI and all of the latest applications you can use with AI, or you’re from the camp of people ready to hunker down and start the doomsday clock. The best part of this episode is considering a range of possibilities across a spectrum of the implications of artificial intelligence. Raoul Pal joins Tom this time to deep dive on what kind of economic threat A.I. could be to the global economy. AI is quite possibly the end of civilization as we know it to be, it is also the beginning of untapped unimaginable outcomes for all of us. Raoul Pal is a retired hedge fund manager who co-founded Real Vision, a financial media company that offers interviews and publications from the world’s best investors. As the macro economist that Britain called on for help, his insights into the current recession, global economy, and volatile markets are well respected. A few reason this conversation will get you thinking even deeper on AI and the economy: To get informed now and decide how you respond to the arrival of the next level of AI. AI also allows us to do things we weren’t able to because we either lacked the talent or the skill This recession has been miserable but it’s still a natural cycle for us to go through Raoul shares his insights on if we’ve hit the bottom and are bouncing back or if we should proceed with even greater caution than before QUOTES: “I think of singularity also as that potential for mankind and machines to merge and the reason being is, A, we will adopt it because it’s better than us.

Do you enjoy the snooze alarm game? A lot of people you know including yourself do. It’s kind of fun but mostly torture. For 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your level of expertise, you get to see how many times you will hit the snooze button and sleep in 5 or 10 minute intervals before having to jump out of bed and mad dash through the morning to get ready. Every day, you wake up exhausted, you don’t get to the most important thing you told yourself the night before you would do first thing in the morning, your energy is low before noon and by 3 PM you’re begging yourself for a nap. The key to breaking this cycle to start waking up at the time you want and need to is having the habits and routines built in place that make you so efficient that success becomes inevitable. You don’t have to struggle every morning to get up early, you don’t need to set an alarm every night before bed to get up in the morning on time, and you don’t have to suffer through your days forever tired. This is the video you need to hear to truly understand, how hardcore is hardcore for Tom Bilyeu when it comes to being the founder of a billion dollar company? A few simple strategies you can start with right now are: Go to bed same time (every day) Do not use an alarm Sleep as much as you need (it’s that important) Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Chat GPT AI went from 0 to over 100Million users in less than 2 months. AI is super fucking dangerous, but it’s inevitable, will make our lives better, and you should CAREFULLY love it. Is AI dangerous? Next to thermonuclear war and an asteroid strike, I’d say it’s the most radically dangerous threat that we face as a species. Buuuuut I’m still super excited. And by the end of this video you will be too. If you’re terrified of AI right now, you’re rational. If you’re not at least worried it will take a wrong turn into James Cameron territory, you’re not paying attention. To paraphrase Elon Musk, the human endeavor to create AI could be the first step towards a technological utopia or a demon summoning circle. It’s not clear which way it will go. But one thing is for sure, we will not control it. And he’s right, but the truth is, the genie is out of the bottle, and we’re going to have to deal with it I fear it will be a bit of both. AI, which simply stands for Artificial Intelligence, is getting smart. Really smart. And AI doesn’t have to outsmart us by much to completely dominate us. Let me give you an example for scale: A moron is technically someone with an IQ of about 70. The average IQ in the US is 98. Einstein was estimated to be 160. And according to the Guiness book of World Records, the highest IQ ever recorded came in at a whopping 210. That means that a super genius is only 3 times smarter than a moron. But Einstein, who was actually only 2.3 times smarter than a moron, had insights that gave birth to nuclear power and nuclear bombs, not to mention lasers, GPS, and a whole lot more. Said another way, a little intelligence goes a loooooooong way. Nuclear warheads are scary enough, but AI isn’t going to be a little smarter than Einstein, it’s going to be a LOT smarter. Not 5 times smarter or 10 times or even 10,000 times smarter. We’re talking millions of times smarter. Despite the reality of all the bad stuff that’s coming, here are three traps we must avoid. 1. Burying our heads in the sand. 2. Panicking. 3. Trying to abolish AI. Panicking is the same as actively taking your own intelligence offline. When you panic, blood leaves your prefrontal cortex, which is the seat of high level cognition. Therefore it actually makes you dumber. And in the face of artificial super intelligence that strikes me as a very bad idea. In the short term you need to do three things: 1. Reframe your thinking around AI. Don’t see it as the enemy. See it as a tool. You’re not going to be replaced by AI, at least not yet. You’re going to be replaced by a human using AI. Be the human that replaces others. 2. Figure out how AI is going to disrupt you. Face it head on. Don’t run. Don’t hide. Identify your vulnerabilities and shore up your skill set. 3. Identify all of the AI tools that are relevant to you and master them. Learn absolutely everything you can. Remember, this is the very beginning of a very aggressive revolution. Moving quickly gives you advantages. First of all, let me acknowledge that I’m a pundit here, not an expert. While we’re working feverishly to integrate AI into our company’s workflow, I’m not the guy who can tell you how AI works under the hood. So what follows will be me thinking out loud based on what I’ve learned from the experts in my attempts to use AI in both my daily life and the daily operations of my company.

You already know that poor diet choices, lack of sleep and high levels of stress are making it impossible to control your weight, manage your mood, and have productive days. It’s the avalanche of poor decisions that assault your metabolism and impact your mental health in ways you haven’t connected until now. A good diet, being well rested, keeping your stress levels low not only positively affect your metabolism, they also positively affect your mental health. Dr. Chris Palmer, a Harvard psychiatrist, has introduced the brain energy theory of mental illness, revealing that mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. Which means there is a direct connection to diet and mental health. Dr. Palmer has been pioneering the use of a medical ketogenic diet as a treatment for mental disorders, and has released his new book, Brain Energy, carefully connecting the dots and explaining why mitochondria are at the center of it all. This episode is easily a mini-masterclass on mitochondrial function as Dr. Palmer explains all of the systems and processes mitochondria directly impact tying to nutrition and mental health. What’s shocking is that all of the things known to impair mental illness directly impair mitochondrial function. Check out Dr. Palmer’s book, Brain Energy: https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Energy-Revolutionary-Understanding-Health/dp/1637741588 QUOTES: “I’m arguing all mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.” “I am saying diet plays a powerful role in mental illness, diet plays a powerful role in mitochondrial health, but it is not the only thing that plays a role [in mental health].” “What I’m saying in a nutshell is that mitochondrial dysfunction is ultimately the cause of mental illness.” “When I saw it put schizophrenia into remission at that point I knew I can’t stay quiet about this, this is too important.” “I would argue that the ketogenic diet or fasting states or fasting mimicking states in particular play a profound role in healing, and the reason is not because carbohydrates are the villain, the reason is because fasting is the saving treatment.” “People who are overweight or diabetic or more likely to have autistic children…” Follow Chris Palmer: Website: https://www.chrispalmermd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrispalmermd/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerMD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisPalmerMD/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Here’s how the second-biggest bank collapse in U.S. history happened in just 48 hours. Silicon Valley Bank closed its doors today. Within 48 hours, a panic induced by the very venture capital community that SVB had served and nurtured ended the bank’s 40-year-run. Regulators shuttered SVB Friday and seized its deposits in the largest U.S. banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis and the second-largest ever. The company’s downward spiral began late Wednesday, when it surprised investors with news that it needed to raise $2.25 billion to shore up its balance sheet. What followed was the rapid collapse of a highly-respected bank that had grown alongside its technology clients. You are not alone if the recession has you nervous about what to expect.

There’s a right and wrong way to do everything regarding your health. While you’re likely frustrated because everything sounds like a contradiction, the truth is that your health is about finding what works best for you.  Is going with a plant-based diet necessary, will vegetables kill you, or is eating red meat the cardinal sin to avoid.? Dr Steven Gundry, cardiologist and heart surgeon, has been studying diets from Blue Zones, gut health and what has been killing our energy, our longevity and ability to lose unwanted fat. He’s the bestselling author of Unlocking the Keto Code, The Energy Paradox, The Plant Paradox, and many others. In this series of conversations, Dr Gundry gives us the simplest break down of what foods are destroying your gut health, the best way to “diet”, why you’re struggling with such low energy levels, and what the real benefits are of a low-carb and ketogenic diet is and what it means for you. The key takeaway to remember is that energy starts in the gut and being metabolically flexible, being able to switch between different energy sources in your body, is going to be key to finally achieving your best health ever. QUOTES: “The purpose of food is to get olive oil in your mouth.” “Recent information has proven that fat is not the evil guy we thought it was, that the fat is there because of the inflammation and the inflammation is there because you have a leak in your gut.” “Believe it or not in the American diet, 24 hours a day, we’re causing leaky gut, we’re assaulting our immune system with these LPSs, and it’s no wonder we’re a giant ball of inflammation.”  “It’s the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis without full ketosis that makes all the difference.” “Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all costs.” Follow Steven Gundry:  Website: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePlantParadox/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drgundry  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgundry  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Go to http://www.blinkist.com/IMPACT to start your 7-day free trial and get 25% off of a Blinkist Premium membership.

Why is change so hard? If it was easy everyone would be doing it and maybe the world would be a much better place.

Not understanding hormones and calories is leading more of us to metabolic problems than a little bit. Unfortunately, losing weight and having healthier blood glucose levels isn’t as simple as eating less and restricting calories. To make matters worse, fasting, although a popular method of weight loss and health, is a lot more complicated than not eating.  In this we have experts such as Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Mike Mutzel sharing their insights and research on how to approach fasting for weight loss and improved metabolic health. Dr Jason Fung is a nephrologist and the co-founder of the Fasting Method program which has helped millions of people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes. Unlike many nephrologists, Dr Fung supports and encourages the education of diabetes and weight loss being possible through intermittent fasting. He’s a NY Times bestselling author and respected voice on fasting, weight loss, nutrition, and type 2 diabetes.  Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center. His clinic focuses on healing patients through plant based vegan diets, and clinical fasting. Dr Goldhamer is also the author of The Pleasure Trap, Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness. Mike Mutzel is a functional medicine consultant in the natural product industry. He’s obsessed with evidence-based natural medicine and is the author of the Bell Fat Effect. Mike is also the founder of High Intensity Health. QUOTES: “It's not just about the calories, it’s about the hormones.” Dr. Jason Fung “You can’t burn body fat if insulin is high.” Dr Jason “If you fast and exercise you actually lose more weight but more of it is lean tissue. If you fast and rest you mobilize predominantly fat and specifically visceral fat.” Dr Alan Goldhamer “Drinking too much water can flush your electrolytes out and result in water intoxication.” Dr. Alan Goldhamer “I’m not really concerned about fat loss as the best proxy for health.” Mike Mutzel “Have the carbohydrate commence with the activity.” Mike Mutzel Follow Jason Fung:  Website: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjasonfung/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drjasonfung  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drjasonfung  Follow Dr. Alan Goldhamer:  Website: https://www.healthpromoting.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthhealth  Follow Mike Mutzel:  Website: https://highintensityhealth.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MikeMutzelMS  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeMutzel  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metabolic_mike/  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Early to mid 2000s became the time of “hacks.” The popularity of lifestyle hacks and health hacks are evidence of how lazy we really are. It’s time to admit how lazy we actually are. We’ve been trying to hack our way out of any real effort in life, health, and success. The “father of biohacking,” Dave Asprey is a champion for health hacks and admittedly just as lazy as everyone else. Most people will admit to wanting a great physique and outstanding physical, mental, and emotional health, yet people spend all of their time avoiding the things that get the results they say they want. Dave is joining Tom on this episode to reveal the idea behind his latest book, Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want. Aside from the fact that we’re all naturally conditioned to be lazy, as Dave explains, we’re also bombarded with misinformation that makes getting the body and mind you want near impossible. Losing weight is at the top of the list for a lot of people, but so is boosting energy and keeping the mind sharp and focused. This episode with Dave is going to reveal a few key ideas for you: Why you don’t need a caloric deficit to lose weight 3 reasons why calories in calories out doesn’t work (and should be banned) How you can actually hack spirituality Dave Asprey is the founder of the Bulletproof diet and Upgrade Labs. He’s already reversed his biological age by 11 years thanks to biohacking and following tons of research. He’s gone from a 46 inch waste to losing over 100 pounds and maintaining a healthy weight. Dave has created a movement around the power of intention and human spirit in pursuit of high performance. QUOTES: “There’s absolutely a system that does things before our brain can do it.” “The fact that you can gain weight from the same number of calories depending on when they’re eaten destroys calories in calories out. It’s an over simplified lazy way of thinking about weight loss…” “Very few people do well over long periods of time on a carnivore diet or on a vegan diet.” “The thesis behind ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is that our systems are elegantly lazy and that we are lazy as a result and that there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, laziness has driven all progress in humans.” “The fact that you can eat junk food doesn’t mean it’s not harming you. The fact you don’t get fat from it doesn’t mean it’s not harming you.” “The vast majority of the people listening to this show want to want to exercise but they don’t actually want to exercise.” Follow Dave Asprey: Website: https://daveasprey.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bulletproofexec Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveAspreyBPR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: http://bit.ly/3YwQJkV Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Limiting beliefs are the disempowering stories you tell yourself about why this is harder for you or that’s impossible for someone like you. Often they stem from childhood experiences and get carried into our adult years. The problem is when you hold onto these stories as if they were fact. Tom has spent years learning and trying out personal rules, beliefs and systems that have allowed him to become the ultra-successful entrepreneur he is today. If success is something you desire and becoming a better version of yourself is a priority, you have to address your limiting beliefs. While Tom doesn’t believe you have to seek out every single limiting belief to overcome it, you do need to get new beliefs and systems in place that will be more empowering than the narrative you’ve been listening to. Get your belief structure together and your behaviors will follow suit. SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Limiting Beliefs 0:36 | Build A Growth Mindset 3:40 | You Can Master Any Skill 6:49 | Challenge Your Belief System 12:10 | Only Believe What Moves You Forward 16:46 | Enjoy the Process Above Everything QUOTES: “It's not even necessarily that you have a limiting belief, it's that you're being honest with yourself about what you do and don't want to pursue.” [3:22] “The only thing that makes sense is to only do and believe that which moves you towards your goals.” [13:14] “You're so busy living in the past, that you forget that there's an entire future waiting for you.

Looking for a high value man or woman will have you feeling more detached from yourself and reality than figuring out your life’s purpose. Generally speaking there are natural occurring differences between men and women that do not have to be viewed as adversarial or problematic. In today’s social media influenced dating scene, there are so many toxic ideals floating around that dating and finding relationships are more difficult than they ever were before. Traditional male roles are being attacked for being toxically unacceptable by today’s internet standards and both men and women are feeling pressure to live up to standards that a narrow percentage of people will actually fit into. Stephan Speaks is joining Tom to address a very hard conversation. Stephan Speaks has garnered hundreds of millions of views from his own YouTube presence as a relationship expert focused on helping men and women create healthier happier relationships aligned with the essence of their true self. He’s not shy about calling out behaviors and flawed thinking from men and women that make finding authentic connection difficult. Declining testosterone levels in young men, porn, and an unhealed broken subset of men (and women) with large online platforms are just a few of the issues of a much bigger problem that Stephan is speaking to in this episode. Let’s talk about why you’re being shamed for not wanting the internet standard and how the Andrew Tate phenomenon and others like that for men and women are destroying your potential for love, family and real connection. QUOTES: “High value does not equate to a good person.” “Culture is painting a picture of what relationships are that I think is dysfunctional at the level of definition.” -Tom Bilyeu “A lot of men are not honest about how much they want a relationship and value having a woman in their life because they don’t want to be called a simp, [...] so people are not being true to who they are or what they truly desire.” “People will always pursue fame and money no matter how many people get ruined by fame and money.” -Tom Bilyeu “Walk in your masculine but you have to be able to tap into your feminine to where you bring love, safety and security to your partner.” “There’s a lot of men on the internet that are speaking out of a lack of healing and bitterness…” “A healthy, happy, successful relationship is two people pouring into each other.” “There’s a difference between being vulnerable and being emotionally unstable.” “Marriage is a great wealth building tool if you use it correctly.” “When you get married you are signing a marriage contract whether you like it or not. You’re either going to sign the state’s contract or you’re going to create your own contract, why not create your own.” Follow Stephan Speaks: Website: https://www.stephanspeaks.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPBO9gLGy8ujsJ7xjARI7ow Twitter: https://twitter.com/StephanSpeaks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephanspeaks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StephanSpeaksRelationships/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Get $500 off Peloton Tread Packages that come with accessories like a heart rate band, workout mat and non-slip dumbbells.

No one wants to hear that the money they save today will be worthless tomorrow, and yet no one can deny that inflation is hitting everyone at the grocery store. What does this all mean and what can you do about it? You’re living through a recession that the government can’t seem to agree on or admit to whether you like it or not. Robert Breedlove hosts the podcast, ‘What Is Money?’ has joined Tom a few times and broken down the complexities of money, inflation, and property rights. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft should grab your attention as it’s hard to ignore once you hear his explanation. We’re digging into key ideas such as: The money crisis How bitcoin is impacting future creation of wealth How you can better thrive during this financial crisis It always comes down to decision and how you choose to move through reality as it is not how you wish it were. QUOTES: “Money is always scarce by definition.” “The really successful entrepreneur is almost brilliantly lazy.” “The innovation we’ve seen in the 21st century has been in spite of central banking not because of it.” “When we print money you’re only violating individual private property rights.” “The corruption of this technology that’s so fundamental to our human being, leads to the corruption of our character, and the corruption of who we are. It’s like a breakdown and corrosion of the moral composition of society through the debasement of currency and the violation of property.” “Inaction is an impossibility. To choose to not act is an action.” “The more productive we become as a global economy, the more purchasing power bitcoin can contain.” “Money is an insurance policy on uncertainty “Inflation is quite simply, legal counterfeiting, and counterfeiting is illegal inflation. They’re mechanically the same thing.” “Setting a legal monopoly to steal from all of society is a really convenient wealth acquisition strategy.” Follow Robert Breedlove: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43_LTf5Z4lbRjKCq0sIAVg Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/breedlove22/ Podcast: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breedlove_22/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to http://www.rocketmoney.com/impact.

I’ve been working with my spouse for almost two decades now, and in this video I’m going to teach you how to do it well. Just be warned, you may hate the answer. This topic is big enough to warrant its own book, but if people won’t give you a simple answer to a complicated topic it’s because they don’t understand it well enough. So here you go, I’m going to give it to you in a sentence: To work well with your significant other you must each play a clearly defined role. Sex and Entrepreneurship are both team sports. And if you’re doing it alone it can still be cool, but it’s called something else entirely. Here’s how we did it: Here’s the trick to managing both love and business. Step 1. Choose well. Selection is 80% of the battle in romance. If you can’t find someone amazing, masterbate. And keep looking. Because a bad relationship is worse than no relationship at all. That goes for business and love. Unless you want to split your company up in the divorce, don’t mess up this step. It will be ruinous. A business will not bring you together any more than kids will. It will expose your flaws. What makes someone amazing? Most of that is going to be intensely personal. You’d probably hate being married to me, but my wife swears she loves it. Maybe there’s just no accounting for taste. Or maybe we selected well. I’ll let you be the judge, but here is the criteria we’ve refined over the years for people who ask this questions: Gotta be love. Bit like pornography. Hard to describe, but you’ll know it when you see it. Committed to maintaining a thriving sex life Committed to the relationship Has a growth mindset Shares most of your values On balance is your equal On balance is emotionally stable Plays a different, but complementary role in the relationship Legitimately wants you to be happy Takes full responsibility for their actions and emotional state If you or your partner doesn’t already have that mentality, then stop watching this video now and address that. You simply will not succeed working with your spouse if you don’t both have a growth mindset. Step 2. Define your roles. Lisa and I realized early on that no relationship will survive two alphas fighting for control. This is a team sport. You each need to have a clearly defined role and play it well. Lisa and I have found that this tends to break along traditional gender lines. It doesn’t have to, but I think there are deep biological reasons why this plays out in the averages. Said simply, men will break themselves in half to lead, sacrifice, and provide, making them ideal rockets. Women on the other hand are adept at securing cooperation and realizing their agenda by coordinating the actions of a team, making them the needed fuel to move the rocket. Here it is: Men and women, in general, want their partner to make them feel fundamentally different things. This disconnect creates a massive amount of friction. Step four. Create Rules of Engagement around how to deal with the collision of two modes of being. Romance and Business aren’t like oil and water where they don’t mix. They’re like mentos and Coca Cola, they’re explosive when put together. Rule number 1: Define your roles CLEARLY. Rule number 2: Rule 3: Partner only with your equal Rule 4: Act differently in your romantic partnership than in your business partnership Rule 5: Lead with love Rule 6: Over communicate. I hope hearing how Lisa and I have navigated this tricky terrain is helpful for you all. I hope that you take this merely as a starting point and you find what works best for you. I hope you understand the averages, but don’t feel you need to conform to them. Find what works for you and live a life that you love.

How far are you willing to go to achieve perfect health? Depending on your current health you may be more or less inclined to go to the extremes to practice the radical discipline required to achieve near perfect health. Bryan Johnson has been called “The most measured man in history.” He’s an ultra successful entrepreneur that has been focused on achieving perfect health. Where things get a little extreme for the common person, like consuming 70 pounds of vegetables a month, he’s just getting started. If you could end your self-destructive behaviors and just start getting good quality sleep every night, Bryan insists that would at least return your health to neutral. Removing your mind, your thought process, how we feel and justify everything from the health equation leaves room for you to empower your body and adjust based on the evidence and nothing else. In this episode Bryan brings in some tasty options for Tom to try and reveals why his Blueprint is a system of opportunity. QUOTES: “There’s different versions of ourselves, and in these different versions we behave in different ways.” “We think of ourselves as the most intelligent species on this planet yet we have behaviors that accelerate disease and aging and misery…” “We treat the Earth as we treat our bodies, it’s the same relationship.” “It’s a little bit insane that we commit self-destructive behavior.” “Talent hits the target that no one else can. Genius hits the target that no one can see.” “We can recognize the special moment we’re in, we can create systems where everyone wins and we can shed the characteristics of ourselves that no longer serves us, like self-destructive behaviors.” “The blueprint is less about the exact things and more about the system of measurement, evidence, and protocol.” “Your heart can be 70 years old and your chronologically 30, so you’re not just one age. You’re hundreds of different ages.” Follow Bryan Johnson: Website: https://www.bryanjohnson.co/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bryan_johnson  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryanjohnson_/  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors:  Go to http://www.blinkist.com/IMPACT to start your 7-day free trial and get 25% off of a Blinkist Premium membership.

Prioritizing how to optimize your health gets more confusing by the day. With every study, every breakthrough, and every podcast, knowing which diet, exercise and sleep strategy and approach is best feels impossible. Naveen Jain is the founder of Viome and many other businesses. He’s known for disrupting industries he has no knowledge or experience with. His approach to health and how people can increase their healthspan lies in the oral cavity, and everything that happens throughout the digestive track. This conversation brings together all the reasons you’ll want to start paying more attention to not just what you want to eat, but what and how you’re feeding your gut microbiome. How food breaks down and metabolizes matters to how the bacteria in your body respond which are responsible for disease and health. Eat to feed the bacteria in your microbiome Food from one country can have an entirely different effect than food from another Your stool and saliva predicts everything about your health. QUOTES: “There’s no such thing as universal healthy food.” “The nature of this ecosystem, it is so complex that when we change one thing we believe that's the only change we’re changing  “We’re getting closer and closer, but we are nowhere near understanding the human body’s complexities.” “Antibiotics are only designed to attack bacteria and not viruses, [...] the more we take antibiotics it’s like throwing a nuclear bomb inside. It kills everything, good, bad, ugly…” “I really believe that within a decade we’ll be able to solve the problem of cancer from the human body.” Follow Naveen Jain:  Website: https://naveenjain.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naveenjainceo/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/naveen_jain_ceo  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/NaveenJain1 Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors:  Go to http://www.blinkist.com/IMPACT to start your 7-day free trial and get 25% off of a Blinkist Premium membership.

There you can register and get access to a free workshop. So you already know that success doesn’t necessarily mean living a fulfilling life. Many people reach levels of success without having deep meaning behind their drive or desire to succeed. Often they arrive feeling unfulfilled and unable to bridge the gap they’ve created. Tom explains why fulfillment may be the most important factor and is almost always the solution to finding your way out of difficult situations. When you imagine living a life of fulfillment perhaps you think of gratitude, being humble and compassionate. When Tom breaks down his formula for fulfillment you’ll see that it’s hinged on hard work, developing skills, and being of service to others and not just yourself. The path to fulfillment may involve meditation but it’s also gritty work for hardcore people that want more than successful titles and accolades. SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Fulfillment 0:30 | Tom’s Fulfillment Formula 6:12 | Surviving Chaos 9:27 | Delayed Gratification 13:20 | Fulfillment Over Achievement 16:11 | Recognize Your Fulfillment QUOTES: “If you're not contributing to the group, you will have this sense of meaninglessness, and this is where meaning and purpose come in. [...] it is ingrained in your mind to do that.” [4:34] “Don't tell yourself a negative story. Don't allow yourself to loop and defeat, find people that can elevate you, find people that will, in a very real skills based way, help you see the path forward.” [9:06] “Fulfillment is much longer in duration, it's much more resilient, I can be fulfilled, even when things are hard, even when things aren't going my way, even when it's difficult.” [12:42] Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Gender roles and equality continue to be a hot topic of discussion. As women make progress in the workplace, gender pay gaps improve, educational opportunities are getting better as women break glass ceilings. Every action has a reaction and now we’re starting to see unintended problems arise for men. There is a mating crisis stemming from the masculinity crisis that has men and women questioning what it means to be a man. Chris Williamson is a podcaster, YouTuber, and former professional party boy. His podcast Modern Wisdom is the inside journey of him learning out loud from some of the most interesting people on the planet. He’s working on his first book about the mating crisis and joining Tom in this thought provoking conversation about masculinity that doesn’t diminish femininity. With women outperforming men in education and earning more than men in 2023 while also being the gatekeepers of sex men are turning to porn and video games, while women struggle to find male partners that complement their success. Chris is very clear that this important conversation is not about putting the breaks of women, but rather solving how to put the gas on men to become worthy partners that add value, protect and preserve his relationship and family.

AI is going to obliterate your job. And that’s fantastic news. It will finally free you up to make real money. If you don’t panic, that is. Most people are going to panic. Don’t let that be you. Stick with me. I’ll explain. If you do a search on google about AI you’re going to find a lot of terrifying things. You’ll see art that’s indistinguishable from the best artists on the planet. You’ll hear how AI can pass college exams and get a high score on an IQ test. For many of you, you’ll even see examples of how AI can do your job better than you can. And this is all with a clunky phase one product. Wait until AI has been on the market for 6 months. Or more terrifyingly, 6 years. No one is safe. It will be that disruptive. But as I always tell people, moments of disruption present the biggest opportunity. But you’re going to have to be aggressive when everyone else is freaking out. So… is AI really THAT revolutionary? And if so, how do you really make money with it? The short answer is yes. AI will be the biggest change not just in your lifetime, but in anyone’s lifetime. It is the ultimate force multiplier. Right now, humans are limited by the rate at which they can think. This determines the rate at which they can solve problems. And as Elon Musk says, people are paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of the problems they solve. If you try to beat AI, you will lose. What I want to convince you of in this video is that you don’t need to beat AI, you need to use it. This is all happening in plain sight. Everyone is talking about it. But to take advantage of this moment, I need you to do three things. Remember, this is the very beginning of a very aggressive revolution. Moving quickly gives you two advantages: You can rocket ahead of other people by mastering the tools. If you master the tools, people are going to turn to you because you’re able to more efficiently solve problems. Going back to the Elon Musk quote - if you can solve harder problems faster, you’re going to get paid more. And in these early days where most people are stuck in the “deer in headlights” mode, you have an unfair advantage. The second advantage that AI gives you is an almost unimaginable amount of efficiency in certain tasks. Don’t get me wrong, AI isn’t a panacea. There are plenty of problems that right now AI sucks at. Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, maker of the ubiquitous ChatGPT, has himself said that people are getting so hyped up that they’re going to be disappointed. If you think that this is Terminator 2 already and ChatGPT is going to turn into liquid metal and save you from space aliens, yes, you’re going to be disappointed. Take action. Learn. Build. Create. Leverage AI and see what you can do together.

Being in a romantic relationship can go from feeling like an incredible high to something totally frustrating. You look at your partner and wonder what’s wrong with them, why can’t they understand what you’re saying, and why do they do things that drive you crazy? Often, relationships go south because both of the people in the relationship have things to work through and have expectations of the other person being able to work around all of their baggage and trauma without much communication of what’s actually going on. Jay Shetty has lived the life of a monk, and as a life coach, podcaster, speaker and best selling author, he’s been able to bring his learnings and his experience to people around the world. His latest book, 8 Rules of Love: How to Find, It Keep It, and Let It Go addresses what it looks like to figure out love for ourselves and bring that into every kind of relationship we have. In this conversation with Tom, Jay talks about the things we accept as currency of love because we haven’t defined and truly understood or experienced love with ourselves first. Sitting with yourself, listening and understanding your inner dialogue and self-talk is a major part of this journey to finding healthy long lasting love. How much time have you taken to yourself between relationships with yourself? Check out Jay Shetty’s latest book, 8 Rules of Love: https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Love-How-Find-Keep/dp/1982183063 QUOTES: “I’ve still not found a better solution to self-awareness than solitude.” “We’ve lost the art of self-talk and self-dialogue.” “That’s why sitting with your thoughts for 15 minutes is really hard because there’s nothing to numb it.” “If walk into a relationship and you don’t know who you are, you don’t know what you need or what you want and what you want and what you’re building and what you’re creating, you’re basically going to hope that the other person is going to answer all of those questions for you, or you’re going to outsource that inadequacy to them to make you feel worthy.” “We accept the currency of attention as love. We accept the currency of validation as love, [...] because we ourselves haven’t defined and experienced what love looks like on our own.” Follow Jay Shetty: Website: https://jayshetty.me/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbV60AGIHKz2xIGvbk0LLvg Twitter: https://twitter.com/jayshettyiw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayshetty/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JayShettyIW/ Podcast: https://on-purpose-with-jay-shetty.simplecast.com/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Get $500 off Peloton Tread Packages that come with accessories like a heart rate band, workout mat and non-slip dumbbells.

Living the good life, is pretty much at the top of everyone’s list. The problem is that nearly everyone is making decisions and acting in ways that don’t lead to their version of a good life they wish they had. To call it self-sabotage seems like an understatement. In this round of talks with Tom, we have Will, Noelle, and George digging deeper with questions about what it takes to create a good life you’re excited for every day. After building a billion dollar unicorn company, and investing years of transparency to bring value to people, like yourself, at scale, Tom Bilyeu is very clear and direct on exactly what it takes for you to succeed at whatever level you want to aim for. Key ideas from this episode you don’t want to miss: Top 5 behaviors and mental traps that lead to miserable life How to let go of beliefs holding you back The trade offs of being a Jack of all trades or the master of one How to use distraction as a tool of productivity Why your life is a reflection of your choices not your circumstances. Hearing some of these things can sting, but when you prioritize the good life over what makes you feel good right now, you take the sting and get focused on what you want, how you’ll get there, and getting relentlessly obsessed with taking massive actions everyday until you get there. QUOTES: “Recognize that you are a deeply flawed individual that is holding yourself back, that your life is a reflection entirely of your choices and not your circumstances, and if you’re not happy with that that means you’re doing something wrong.” “I remind myself in business all the time, my current skill set has already taken me as far as it’s going to take me, and so if I want to go farther I have to get better. But if you don’t believe that you can get better, then you won’t put in the energy and effort into getting better.” “If you don’t have a massive amount of resilience you are really in trouble.” “The act of going ham is so intoxicating, it’s so fun, that it is the juice.” “People underestimate the complexity of a habit.” “You need a maniacal focus, you need to be lasered in on one thing and you do it to the abstraction of everything else and you do it obsessively to the point where everything else in your life ideally is falling apart…” “Ultimately my advice to people is to chase fulfillment.” “That is what self awareness is, you can finally see yourself the way other people see you.” “Rules, values, and desire are wildly underutilized.” “Obsession will hurt and it will be unhealthy unless you realize that you can get better…” “Love trumps everything I’ve been through in my life.” “My marriage is great because we work on it every single day.” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Get $500 off Peloton Tread Packages that come with accessories like a heart rate band, workout mat and non-slip dumbbells.

Jessie Inchauspie is the Glucose Goddess of Instagram that wrote the international bestseller, Glucose Revolution to address the glucose rollercoaster 80% of people can’t stop riding. In her book she gives practical tips to make lifelong changes that will help you control the glucose spikes affecting your health.

Its primary objective is to help the 80 odd percent of the population that has glucose spikes everyday avoid those spikes, [...] the common consequence is fat loss but that’s not the primary angle we’re going after.” “The amount of fat you have on your body is not a very good representation of your internal health.” “In order to lose fat your insulin levels have to be down.” “Starches and sugars they’re fine to eat but they’re for taste, they’re for pleasure.” “Fiber is only really useful in the context of other bad stuff you’re eating.” “Glucose is your body’s preferred energy source, […] Every single living thing on this planet also runs on glucose, from plants, to dolphins to humans.” “Your muscles are your best friend in this glucose world.” “The best time to eat a cookie is before you workout.” Follow Jessie Inchauspie: Website: https://www.glucosegoddess.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GlucoseGoddesss Twitter: https://twitter.com/glucosegoddesss Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glucosegoddess/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Learn more about your ad choices.

So you want to be wealthy and financially free in 3 years? It’s not an impossible dream, stranger things have happened, but there are a few things to consider and today’s episode is food for thought on if you know the money game well enough to build your wealth and get rich in 3 years. Tom is giving a masterclass on all the things he’s learned from building multiple multi-million dollar businesses over the years. He isn’t someone that’s rich because he came from a wealthy family. Tom is the successful entrepreneur he is because he took some hard lumps from life alone the way of figuring out that digging in his sofa for enough change to put gas in his car wasn’t the way he wanted to live. In this episode Tom is joined by David, Noelle, and George, answering their questions about what it takes to build the kind of wealth most of us believe would be amazing. Tom doesn’t claim to be a money expert, but does say with confidence that he’s learned to get very good at making money. The key to getting rich he’s learned is understanding that this is a money game, and you can’t win the game until you learn the rules. So, when you say you want to be rich or you think about how awesome it would be to actually start building the kind of wealth that changes the way your future grandchildren will live, make sure you become a “die hard executor” and know your risk tolerance. What does ‘being rich’ or ‘wealthy’ mean to you? QUOTES: “Create something that generates a lot of value.” “I would rather get people thinking about how do I build a business that’s doing a million dollars in revenue.” “Get partners that you don’t have to pay that you know are going to work as hard as you and they’re good at something that you’re not.” “I don’t think you’re ever going to get what I would call wealthy in the short-term without an entrepreneurial mindset.” “Unfortunately, a lot of people think that thinking about something moves me forward…” “It’s not about a money mindset, it’s about mastering the game. Money is a game.” “If you’re an entrepreneur you take risks, if you’re not don’t.” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to http://www.rocketmoney.com/impact.

It’s pretty normal that you think of reality being the world around us, the tangible things you see and interact with. You probably even include and make space for how your emotions influence perception and tie that into what creates your reality. Donald Hoffman is joining Tom for another mind-bending episode to challenge if we’re actually living in a false reality. Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist that has argued against reality and the limitations of spacetime. Some questions being posed in this episode that will stretch your beyond your limits are: What is beyond spacetime? What is the true structure of objective reality? Is it possible evolution has shaped us in a way that guides our behaviors and therefore how we see objective reality? His idea of comparing our current reality to that of living in a virtual headset is being taken to the next few levels up and exploring the strategies we use to survive the game of life. Check out Donald Hoffman’s latest book, The Case Against Reality, Why Evolution Hid The Truth From Our Eyes here: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Reality-Evolution-Truth/dp/0393254690 Don’t miss Donald’s last conversation on Why Reality Is All A Lie: https://youtu.be/Ehz89eV5JR4 QUOTES: “The strategies are ways to survive long enough to reproduce. So you can look at the different strategies for playing the game of life…” “The game of life is, how do I live long enough to reproduce and how do I raise my offspring to maturity.” “Our window on the world is trivial compared to in principle what could be available.” “The probability is one that we don't see the truth at all.” “Visual attention, paying attention to different objects, is our way of switching from this representation of fitness payoffs to this representation of fitness payoffs.” “Spacetime is just our headset.” “We’ve been short-changed. Really shallow data structure. Only three-dimensions of space, one dimension of time, we got a cheap headset.” “Reason is telling us its limits. Reason is saying that logic itself cannot get to all truths.” “It's better to put something on the table and get a negative reaction so we can say, what are better places to go in this.” Follow Donald Hoffman: Website:http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/ Email: ddhoff@uci.edu Twitter: https://twitter.com/donalddhoffman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donalddhoffman/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: http://bit.ly/3WY0LLs Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

You know why you need to develop good habits and how important it is to have the right routines in place, but knowing HOW to execute and get them in place is a different obstacle many of us stumble over.

Catch the level of energy Tom puts into sharing these strategies and tips with you, then go and execute. QUOTES: “When you start the day, if you get early momentum going, the rest of the day is going to follow.” “When you’re struggling to get something done, you have a desire problem.” “Success is a game of problem solving, but you have to really want to solve that problem.” “When you can change state at will simply by remembering the kind of people you’re trying to help, [...] when you get tired, when you’re procrastinating, when you feel lazy you can tap into that, the desire kicks in and now you’ve got the juice you need to push forward.” “If you’re anti-work, if you’re looking ways to be lazy, you’re going to get your lunch f*king eaten.” “Know what you want, Build the desire to get there.

That feeling you grapple with every day of wanting to change, but struggling to change because 30 minutes into the day you’ve already caved and did what you said you wouldn't do, is more than paralyzing. It makes you frustrated and angry with yourself. That habit loop of disappointment leads many people to depression and living a mundane life filled with unfulfilling things you don’t even value. Tony Robbins is a legend that needs no introduction. His work has been changing lives at scale for decades and continues to grow more powerful and more impactful every year. Tony’s Date with Destiny program was shown in a controlled study by Stanford University researchers to improve the state of mind of clinically depressed participants without the use of drugs, even well after program completion. The power of what you focus on, good or bad impacts the life you experience. As Tony emphasizes in this conversation, a compelling future that allows you to focus on something more than yourself, something meaningful is required to start living your best life. Stanford Genetics Lab Study on Tony Robbins Events: https://scienceoftonyrobbins.com/ Join Tony Robbins Become Unshakeable Challenge: https://becomeunshakeable.com/join-the-challenge QUOTES: “We can all deal with a difficult today if we have a compelling tomorrow.” “You don’t experience life, you experience the life you focus on.” “People have habits of what they focus on and those habits become your biochemical habits as well.” “Identity is, who are you beyond the problem.” “We’re drawing in information and we’re starving for wisdom.” “A belief is a poor substitute for experience. You can tell somebody something and they can nod their head and cognitively understand it, but that’s quite different from the visceral experience of getting it in your body.” “Most people think that hypnosis is something that people do to them, but most people are living in a hypnotized state.” “Self-esteem is earned by yourself for yourself. It comes from doing something incredibly difficult and no one else knows it, you know it that’s why you have esteem for yourself.” “It’s really what you link pain and pleasure to that creates lasting change.” “The biggest drug on the planet is problems because everyone has a deep fear.” “Leverage is what makes change a must not a should.” “We can get beyond any pain that we’ve been through if there’s something we want to serve more than ourselves.” Follow Tony Robbins: Website:https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyrobbins/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyRobbins/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tonyrobbins Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: If you want to get on my daily routine, you can get 30 days free of Open by visiting withopen.com/IMPACT.

The next time you’re scrolling through social media or checking out people that are more successful than you and find yourself mad, resentful, minimizing their success, or coming with excuses for your lack of success, remember this… You can achieve whatever you want in life. You can achieve your biggest, most audacious goals. But you have to start by changing the way you think. Your job is to seek out, find, and develop the right mindset for success in order to be successful. Success does not happen by accident. Rewiring your brain and the way you think through your failures, your struggles and the obstacles you’re facing on a daily basis is more than possible. Watch this episode when you’re ready to receive the key to success. Tom is breaking down everything from what a growth mindset is to why soothing your ego with your psychological immune system is your biggest hindrance to success. QUOTES: “If you want to be successful, mindset is everything.” “At the end of the day, only execution matters.” “Failure is the most information rich data stream on planet earth.” “To overcome the endless parade of problems you have to have a way to take responsibility for what you can do differently to overcome those problems, [...] you want to adapt your behavior.” “You have to constantly pour energy into your own life to make sure that you’re making progress to your own goals if you’re going to eventually achieve success.” “A growth mindset is that you believe that your talent and intelligence are not fixed traits, that you can get better at something as you put time and energy into getting better at that thing. It’s what I call, the only belief that matters.” “The people I have found that are the most resilient in life, they have the most intensely developed growth mindset, and that’s part of the key.” “Don’t let yourself take on the identity of the victim even when you are victimized because it puts you in a defensive posture.” “If you really are as good as you think then you should be able to go and build something new using that same skill set.” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: If you want to get on my daily routine, you can get 30 days free of Open by visiting withopen.com/IMPACT.

You’re supposed to have bacteria in your mouth.” “People who consume more meat, and especially processed meat, tend to have worse health outcomes.” “Low-fat vegetarian diets are associated with reduced testosterone.

As someone on the path of major self-growth, these conversations are key in stretching your mind, changing your beliefs, and begging you to question how you want to live your life and exist in a rapidly changing world. Artificial intelligence has become more front and center in the past few weeks with A.I. art and AI generated images becoming virtually inescapable. What can you do to thrive during these massive changes? Yuval Noah Harari is a historian and the bestselling author of the books that include Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. His book for kids, Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World is a NY Times Best Book of 2022. Yuval is also a professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the co-founder of the social impact company Sapienship. In this episode the conversation gets deep between the need for your mental flexibility, how much narrative is influencing the world we experience, and the best way you can embrace change. “It is much worse psychologically to feel worthless than to feel exploited” -Yuval Noah Harari Check out his latest book, Unstoppable Us:How Humans Took Over the World: https://www.amazon.com/Unstoppable-Us-Humans-Took-World-ebook/dp/B09S8VC1JB QUOTES: “We have to keep learning and keep changing throughout our lives otherwise we will be left behind.” “Old jobs disappear, but new jobs emerge. The real difficult thing will be the transition.” “Almost all people are liberal. Even the conservatives…” “The ideological differences are small on the ground, but they are very big in people’s imagination. People have fantasies about what the other side is planning to do which are completely divorced from reality.” “Fantasies often shape history and cause people to do terrible things.” “Instead of leaders who are trying to heal the national community you see leaders that try to destroy it and get power by kind of leading just one tribe.” “I think the big narrative is the biological narrative that we are all homo sapiens, that we all have the same basic experiences, [...] these are things that are common to all humans.” “A sacred place is a place plus a story about the place, and this is at the bottom of most conflicts in the world.” “On the level of the body, we can relate to every other human being in the world because biologically we are all the same. What creates this huge distance between us is the fantasies that the mind imagines and produces.” Follow Yuval Noah Harari: Website: https://www.ynharari.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/harari_yuval Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Prof.Yuval.Noah.Harari Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yuval_noah_harari/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@YuvalNoahHarari Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!

It may be uncomfortable, but making mistakes and failing is part of the game. Wallowing in the disappointment we can all feel after failing something, does not take you any closer to succeeding. Tom is sharing the perspective he’s developed and refined to become the entrepreneur that he is. Becoming capable of executing at elite levels of success comes with every failure and mistake you make along the way. Failure will teach you all that you need to know to succeed, but you have to be willing to make the mistakes without sitting in disappointment.“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure to failure, without a loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston ChurchillSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction0:30 | Failure & Disappointment5:56 | Flexible Goals & Pathways10:53 | Passionate Career15:40 | Mistakes Teach Lessons18:12 | Luck Requires SkillQUOTES:“Failure is not proof that you're a loser. Failure is the process by which you become better [...] when you fail, why would you beat yourself up over it? It's the nature of progress itself, there is no way to get better without failing.” [3:06]“Don't allow yourself to get bogged down in a path, which should be easily discarded, but don't give up easily on a mission, which should be far more firm.” [10:37]“If you want to achieve anything significant in your life, you have to understand that it's a game of attrition, [...] Most people quit. It isn't that the people that end up winning never fail. It's that they didn't quit when they failed.” [11:14]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Possibly, but only if you listen then jump into action. Anything less is spiritual entertainment, and that’s not going to help you change one thing in your life.This episode is going to remove 99% of the reasons you have for not executing at the highest level and give you the permission you’ve needed to mess up. If you're looking for answers on how to win the game of life, you’re in the right place and it’s not what you think it should be. You have to learn to pay attention to your neurochemistry and realize that how you react to your wins and failures, even when they’re catastrophic, really matters. Opportunities are everywhere and possibilities are endless if you’re willing to go after what you want and develop the kind of willpower that puts most people to shame.QUOTES:“Money is not going to solve the problem that exists between your ears.” [1:09]“Break the tie that you have between outcome and worth.” [3:27]“When shit really goes f*cking wrong, that’s the time to laugh.” [10:30]“What we have is the ability to change. We’re crazy f*cking adaptive.” [25:57]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

They will all take the pill if you understand how they think.” [27:56]“The context you’re in will determine your result.” [31:38]“This is the misconception that your genes are your destiny. They are your destiny if you don’t understand them and you’re doing everything wrong, and for the most part we aren’t designed for our current reality.” [38:51]“Of the 30,000 some odd genes in your body, 10%[ of your genes require vitamin D to function.” [39:40]“66% of women will die on their first cardiovascular event with zero symptoms or warning signs, [...] because of the cofactor of estrogen toxicity [49:50]“Your DNA is telling you who you are in your brain function, your cardiovascular function, [...] The things you’re doing are going to pull you in directions, one way or the other.

His recent book, The Myth of Normal, looks intently into Western culture and how far we actually are from living a meaningful and purposeful life. The trauma you experienced and the illness you suffer with are all connected, and tied to understanding who you really are, and what it will take to unlock life’s meaning for you.This episode is a deep dive into the mind of Gabor Mate that you’ll want to take time to unpack to really explore your truth, what your experiences were and how they continue to show up in your life today.QUOTES:“What really lights my fire is truth. I just want to know the truth, whatever that is.” [7:59]“There’s lots of facts out there, but truth is much larger than facts. It’s integrating the facts in a picture of reality.” [13:17]“A life without truth is not a meaningful life.” [17:59]“Emotions are not separable from our physiology. The nervous system and immune system, [...] they’re all one apparatus. When something happens in one area something happens in the other area as well.” [51:10“Our thoughts are in the lead, so whatever our thoughts tell us is the reality that we see, so essentially with our minds we create the world.” [1:08:39]“In this culture the norm is neither healthy nor is it natural, in fact, the norm is making us sick.” [1:55:23]“Giving and receiving and connection are values and people gain wealth by giving not by gathering and taking from others.” [2:21:06]Follow Gabor Mate:Website: https://drgabormate.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsRF06lSFA8zV9L8_x9jzIA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgabormate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drgabormate Learn more about your ad choices.

Given that sugar is literally hidden in nearly anything you eat and is everywhere in your local food store, the fight to beat diet-related diseases is tricky.Even when you think you’re eating healthy, chances are there is a sneaky element of poor nutrition at play, which makes medical professionals like Dr. David Perlmutter beyond frustrated. Dr. Perlmutter is a board certified neurologist and fellow with the American College of Nutrition who has published multiple bestselling books on diet and better brain health.This episode is a masterclass on uric acid and its role in metabolic health. It’s possible to fix your diet through good practice, and Dr. Perlmutter is generous with the information he shares that will allow you to make an individualized best assessment for yourself. Your diet and lifestyle are not to be ignored or disregarded for anyone serious about preventing disease. Lack of information leads to unconscious destruction of your gut and havoc being unleashed in your system. Inflammatory problems and metabolic problems can ultimately be addressed with simple, consistent, intentional dietary changes. Some of David’s best advice is to know your uric acid levels and stop eating fructose.QUOTES:“70 percent of the manufactured foods in America today, if it has a barcode and its in the grocery store, it has added sweeteners.” [1:06]“It’s quite clear that 100% of humans alive today or who have ever lived have this genetic issue with the uric enzyme cannot break down uric acid.” [21:19]“Instead of trying to patch up these problems, the idea of letting our genes keep us healthy, it’s kindness, it’s about reconnecting to that incredibly beautiful gift that we’ve received from all who have come before us.” [53:37]“What we choose to do rewires our brain and changes our thinking.” [58:51]“When we’re deranged in our metabolic lives it sets the stage for all the bad things you don’t want to get.” [59:42]“Fructose is the signal then that prepares us for not having any food.” [1:06:42]Follow David Perlmutter:Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In the middle of the financial crisis we’re experiencing, people are acting out of desperation, and emotions are possibly leading the charge. Raoul Pal is back to help us understand what is the current state of crypto, why FTX has been using customer money and more importantly, why is this not as unusual as you may think. Raoul’s insights as a macro investor, former hedge fund manager that retired at 36, and co-founder of Real Vision, a financial media company, takes us to a high level view to string together how world history and demographics have brought us to this point.The key takeaway here for you is that, “the game of money is a game of psychology.” Tom Bilyeu Once you understand that this is a game, we need to know the players, the rules. The ultimate indicator of how you play this game, as Raoul explains it, is the future version of yourself and what that version wants. It indicates your debts, your risk tolerance, and what your next financial move will be following this interview.Whatever you do, do so from a place of minimizing your emotional response and play the game well.Mentioned in this episode:Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Hariri: https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Deus-Brief-History-Tomorrow/dp/0062464310 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | What In The Crypto Is Going On?14:02 | The Emotional Cycle of Money23:46 | Inflation Vs.

You start thinking about all the things you can accomplish in the next week, you get super pumped and when the time comes, nothing happens. After possible hours of being side tracked, unmotivated and distracted with the less important and more mundane tasks of life, you say, “tomorrow.” This slippery slope of a habit loop among other tell tale signs can be summarized as the Self Sabotaging Death Loop.

Because if you want to get good, you must face all of those problems, all of those fears, you have to be willing to fail.” [3:23]“How you stop self sabotaging is accept that it's okay to not be good enough yet, and that you're going to put in the time and the energy to get good” [4:45]“You don't need to try to match my rules. You just need to know your value system and put it in order to build rules that allow you to actually accomplish that and then hold yourself accountable.” [10:49]“The very nature of success is that you must fail and not fail once or twice, but you must fail over and over and over and over and over.

Often we lack the motivation to do what success demands of us because we don’t have an identity that aligns with the outcome we say we want. Our poor habits and inability to show up consistently to create the outcome and experience we say we want creates a greater distance between where we are and where we want to go.Anthony Trucks started with an enormous gap between the 3 year old that entered the foster care system, the teenager they called “Butterfingers,” and the NFL player turned motivational speaker, bestselling author, life coach and podcast host. He advocates the value of hard work and suffering that creates experiences, opportunities and outcomes that make it possible to build a new identity. He helps people learn and do what it takes to shift their identity.In this episode, we’re deep diving into 3 skills Anthony believes will help you avoid being lazy and learn to stay motivated and take action even when you don’t think it’s possible.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Anthony Trucks0:08 | Create an Internal Structure11:32 | Shift Your Identity26:24 | Commit to Do What Is Hard42:09 | Work in the Dark, Shine Brighter55:53 | Rebuilding a Failed MarriageQUOTES:“I like the idea that perspective precedes enlightenment.” [1:33]“It’s interesting how people with the most idotic views can frame them so eloquently now.” [3:40]“People don’t understand that you can entertain an idea without adopting it.” [10:37]“I believed the fact that if I did nothing, then nothing would get better.” [15:19]“I get the desire to want to feel good in your own skin, but the solution isn’t to avoid the fact that you don’t feel that great.” [19:15]“One of the problems we have in society now is that we coddle kids and we rob them of their hardships.” [32:40]“I’d done too much work in the dark for you to take what’s mine in the light.” [42:42]“A lot of people are trying to shine in the light without having done that dark work.” [44:51]“You are what you consistently do.” [45:18]“I craft a specific experience for myself because I have to experience something to rewire it.” [49:29]Follow Anthony Trucks:Website: https://anthonytrucks.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/anthonytrucks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnthonyTrucks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthonytrucks/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/anthonytrucks Learn more about your ad choices.

Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RFH0VhOn Today's Episode:Understanding what cryptocurrency, NFTs and blockchain are is still being missed by so many people. However, the opportunity being presented by cryptocurrency and NFTs is so much more than investing. Even if you don’t understand much of this as of today, try to view this crypto conversation through the lens of being an opportunity parallel to what the internet was in 1997 when it first started to gain traction. Think of the first AOL commercials and the buzz and excitement you may have experienced from that. Now imagine 2 things. One, imagine getting the opportunity to invest in the “internet” or an internet based company at that time. It’s probably fair to say you wouldn’t have much need to punch a clock now. The other thing to imagine is, how much the internet as a technology has advanced cell phones, businesses, the way we interact and communicate with the entire world. That scenario is quite possibly the same kind of opportunity you are living through right now with NFTs, bitcoin, ethereum, and blockchain. This is a technology that is being adopted faster than any other technology ever was, and it’s an opportunity that’s going to disrupt life, business, and humanity forever. Why this content is being brought to you, is to serve as a red flag and get your attention to at least do your research and learn about what this is so you can make informed decisions going forward. In this video, Tom is answering more questions and laying out what you need to do step-by-step. Steps to Research NFTs:1. Learn about this technology so you can think from first principles.2. Start with any words you know, bitcoin, crypto, NFTs, etc. and start learning terminology.3. Figure out who the different players are in the crypto and NFT space.4. Venture down the rabbit hole to gain expertise, follow them and engage.5. Cross over to truly understanding what this is about.

Let that sink in.” [18:25]“Just like paper money that you're used to, the normal money, it only has value because we all say it has value, and if we all stop saying it has value, then it stops having value.” [19:09] “Whatever I'm buying, I'm not just buying because I'm hoping that it's going to go up, I'm buying it, because I understand it, and I understand how it's used, and I have a bet that when I look out at the future of what's going to happen with the world, that use case is going to continue to be relevant.” [22:57] “Over time, as they say, your network is your net worth, you start putting these individuals together that can help you create the things that you want to create, but it's about putting in a relentless amount of time and...

Everything seems to be idiopathic in nature, but you have to wonder, is our diet tied to the rise in autoimmune conditions being diagnosed globally?Dr. Jeffrey Bland is considered to be the Father of Functional Medicine and the President of Big Bold Health. He stands for the science of hope that there is wisdom in nature that needs to be adhered to and not forgotten. Dr. Bland is quick to remind us that big pharma cannot extract one nutrient to treat a condition when all of the complexities of food found in nature are needed.Global Immune stress is creating greater levels of cortisol and interfering with the effectiveness of your immune system.

What we have is an immune reaction to our self being converted into non-self.” [11:42]“That’s one of the problems we have with nutritional supplementation in this country and the way we view it, is we often think about green pharmacy, ‘okay we have a drug now what is the nutrient we can find that mimics that drug’. That’s not the way nature works.” [31:29]“I don’t have to accept every idea, but I have to listen carefully. There’s wisdom out there that I may not be able to understand if I’m just channeled in my own myopia.” [50:26]“The successful treatments are in the wisdom of nature, it’s in the wisdom that we need to go back and relearn.” [1:08:38]“Alzheimers’s is not a disease. It’s a complex outcome from the marriage of our genes with our environment, with our lifestyle.” [1:08:51]“Functional medicine is for real people, [...] medicine that we use is built around statistical humans.

And that belief is that the number one thing in your life is your rate of growth.” [0:23]“We get stuck on this bullsh*t hamster wheel chasing the dollars trying to grow in our career when none of that sh*t matters. It’s all about us as a multidimensional human being and are we growing.” [2:26]“If growth and contribution are the pathway to fulfillment, growth is the accelerator.” [4:29]“Just because we can’t explain how something works right now doesn’t mean we can’t leverage or use it, and I believe intuition is one of those things.” [8:39]“We are more deeply connected than we think,” [16:43]“I believe there is something called intuition and in some way all human beings are connected.” [22:43]“If you can increase your compassion and your kindness, it improves productivity at work, it makes you a better leader, [...] and it also makes you live longer.” [35:00]“Entrepreneurs are basically athletes building a product.” [51:53] Learn more about your ad choices.

He’s the executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy. After recently stepping down from his role as the CEO of MicroStrategy after 30 plus years, he’s sharing his unique perspective of what it means to survive our current global crisis. MicroStrategy is the biggest publicly traded corporate owner of bitcoin with close to 130,000 BTC.There’s a necessity for you to understand money, understand how to protect your balance sheet, and understand your property rights. For some of us, it is riskier to stay where you are when considering to what extent governments are suppressing the free market, controlling your assets, and manufacturing metrics that don’t reveal the true pictureThe most important decision for you to make at this point is where to place your assets and store value. Will you choose to store your assets and build value in things like real estate and gold that can be seized, taxed and controlled by the government, or will you consider what you can achieve by storing your assets through bitcoin?Check out Michael Saylor’s Free Education (Courses and certifications): https://www.saylor.org/ SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Michael Saylor0:38 | MicroStrategy’s Winning Strategy10:29 | Policy Wars Do This To Inflation19:55 | Suppressing the Free Market31:03 | FIAT Money & Government Intervention45:30 | What is ESG Policy?56:26 | Top Down Central Government1:07:51 | Keep Your Assets Out of Reach1:22:08 | Watch Out for These Rules of Thumb1:40:47 | Irreversible Transactions in CyberspaceQUOTES:“When you buy something that everybody else understands to be good at the same time they all agree with you, it’s normally bad.” [7:37]“When a government declares a war, they basically put public policy and initiatives ahead of the free market.” [11:21]“The road to hell is paved in good intents.” [15:29]“Anybody you know that’s a billionaire, [...] the Jeff Besos, the Elon Musks of the world, they didn’t get there without holding an asset that had technical potential for a decade or longer, there is no get rich quick schemes.” [18:53]“War is a suppression of the free market to the benefit of the public organization.” [20:56]“We have a set of metrics that are manufactured metrics, and then we focus on them and then we talk about them, but ultimately what you have is an economy that has been distorted...” [26:10]“The U.S. primary expert is inflation, and it’s a good situation, [...] we get products or services in return for exporting the dollar.” [50:45]“A terrifying thing becomes an excuse for the government to encroach more on freedom.” [1:00:10]“The big idea of the last two years is, every individual needs to become macroeconomically sophisticated and politically sophisticated.” [1:19:42]“Once you understand money, you understand bitcoin is engineered money and it’s engineered without defects.” [1:34:46]“Cyberspace is a political construct and it is not a physical construct.

Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3SbkPqMFailure is an equal opportunist. It’s one of those things every person walking this Earth will face at some point. Failure doesn’t discriminate on color, race, social class, educational level and it damn sure doesn’t care about who you know or what you’ve accomplished in the past. It is faithful and loving enough to stay with you longer than your most embarrassing photo. So why run, why feel bad, and why beat yourself up over it? Tom is sharing some of his biggest failures in this Q & A, and breaking down the exact techniques he’s used to go from lying face down on cheap nylon carpet shamed by failure in film school to cashing in on the mindset that keeps giving, and keeps working hand in hand with every failure. It is possible to have a loving relationship with failure (that may be a bit of exaggeration) but you can learn to joyfully deal with your failures. Tom’s request to you, is that as soon as you watch this, pick ONE piece of advice, one technique you can try out and DO IT today! Rewatch this as much as you need to, but do make a move and stop allowing failure, shame, and self sabotage to hold you back from reaching the next level to your success.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction 0:51 | Overcome Fixed Mindset13:06 | Breaking the Failure Loop20:54 | Learn to Fail Forward27:45 | Incapable But Not Stuck31:09 | After Failure AdaptabilityQUOTES:“No matter how successful the person is that you're looking at, [...] the one thing that I can promise you is that all of us struggle on the inside” [1:18]“It may take you longer, you may have to work harder than somebody else, but if you love it enough, and you want to be that thing, then you can become that thing.” [11:21]“Don't be afraid to be incapable, simply recognize what you're going to need to do in order to get capable, and then decide whether you're willing to put the time and the energy into it or not.” [30:49]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The problem with adopting a healthy diet isn’t that people don’t want to be healthy, the problem is that there are so many misleading and contradictory messages out there that even when you decide to eat healthy you’re still tricked into consuming sugar, chemicals, artificial coloring and everything else that causes metabolic disease and poor gut microbiomes.So let’s just focus on the widespread messages that are common among several experts in the field and make at least one improve today to live a healthier and happier tomorrow.Dr. William Li is a Harvard trained medical doctor, researcher and the NY Times bestselling author of the book, Eat to Beat Disease.

So, even if you are in a room with the president of the country, your mother, your boss, and your future spouse, there is no one more important to impress than yourself. If you’ve been here before you’ve probably heard it said, the only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself when you are by yourself. Can you trust yourself to show up and get things done when you say you’re going to? Or do you not believe yourself when you tell someone that you will be there or you will have this done for them by a certain date? It is critical to your future success that you earn trust and have credibility with yourself more than anyone else. Being accountable and reliable for yourself is the secret to building stronger relationships and social networks. Tom is going to take you through why being accountable to yourself matters, how you can build that relationship with yourself, and the unspoken rules of accountability taking place in relationships that you need to be aware of to succeed. Ultimately, accountability comes down to the sincere pursuit of your goals, not actually achieving them. Fall in love with the process and be as hardcore as you want to be. “Only do and believe that which moves you towards your goals” -Tom Bilyeu SHOW NOTES: 1:20 | What Is Accountability?5:35 | Authority and Credibility Matter7:32 | Earning Credibility with Yourself12:56 | Trust and Unspoken Accountability17:02 | Reliability and Your Word20:31 | Accountable to Not Blaming Others25:36 | Harmful Accountability30:18 | Weak and Accountable34:07 | Accountable to Aggressive Goals QUOTES: “Even if you can fool the world, there will be an account of your actions in your own mind.” [1:58] “If you're trying to present yourself as being good at something, then you better be living up to the things that you say” [6:37] “Credibility is most important when you're talking about self credibility.” [8:47] “When somebody has an expectation of you or you have an expectation of somebody else, you're holding them accountable to that value system, whether you articulate it or not.” [14:30] “Becoming capable of a championship performance is far more emotionally gratifying than actually winning the championship. It's the journey.” [24:54] “The reason that I divorce myself from the ultimate outcome is because you don't want to live for some future time.” [28:38] “Even if I might be wrong, it's far better to believe something that is hopeful, optimistic, and empowering.” [32:38] “Don't use failure as a way to get out of accountability.” [33:35]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether it’s an autoimmune condition, metabolic disorder, or mental health crisis, it’s hard to escape the reality of how sick our society has become and so we’ve normalized our lack of health and made it the new norm without really questioning why.In our fast-paced technological world where medical breakthroughs are more common it feels like we’re further from a solution than when we started or we’re just solving for problems we’ve been creating and consequently we’re farther from optimal health than ever before. At what cost is all this happening?Dr. Gabor Mate is a world renowned trauma and addiction expert with over 40 years experience and respect looking at how trauma has been affecting us from childhood long into our adult years. Today he’s discussing The Myth of Normal, also the title of his latest book on trauma, illness, and healing in a toxic culture. From the very beginning Gabor exposes the myth and explains why this new norm we’ve accepted is actually making us sick.Between exposing how trauma in our childhood and suppressed anger lead to autoimmune diseases and how our adaptive responses to bad parenting decisions cause a plethora of problems in our adult lives, Gabor Mate is laying down food for thought that will shift the way you see everything.Check out Gabor Mate’s latest book, The Myth of Normal, Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture: https://amzn.to/3RQl0rg SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Gabor Mate0:39 | What Is the Myth of Normal 6:20 | Authenticity & Attachment 10:37 | Boundaries For Unconditional Love19:45 | Nature’s Agenda for Humans30:50 | Best Human Conditions to Thrive36:36 | Stop Suppressing Healthy Anger47:39 | Depression & Disconnection53:32 | Emotional Regulation to Trauma59:46 | Breaking Traumatic Cycles1:12:35 | Healing Childhood Adaptations1:23:50 | Conditions of Unconditional Love1:27:14 | Changing an Unhealthy Culture QUOTES:“In this culture the norm is neither healthy nor is it natural, in fact the norm I think is making us sick.” [0:56]“Illness in this society given the conditions is a normal response to an abnormal circumstance.” [1:11]“That means we have to be in touch with our gut feelings and our emotions and to be true to them, and so what we need is relationships is which we can be true to ourselves, that’s a directive.” [4:25]“When you suppress your emotions you’re suppressing your immune system as well.” [5:55]“Infant is an expectation for unconditional acceptance.

The less a society meets those conditions the more toxic it becomes…” [7:56]“You can set boundaries through just love, through relationship, through example, it doesn’t have to involve force and it certainly doesn’t have to involve physical force.” [13:26]“You may know on some level that your parents love you because they feed you, they hug you, but at the same time these people that love you are deeply hurting you, that’s traumatic.” [18:38]“Wealth is defined as a set of social connections rather than a set of physical possessions.” [27:55]“In this society, it’s the worst of us that get...

There’s physical courage and moral courage, [...] what those two types of courage have in common is it’s about putting your ass on the line in some way.” [58:02]“If you don’t put yourself out there you can’t feel like a piece of shit if you fall short. There’s real courage in the earnestness, in the effort in trying.” [1:03:53]“When you decide how you’re going to look at history, are you going to be inspired by the people who stepped up, or are you going to use the failures of history as an excuse to not have to try.” [1:22:02]“We protect our physical space much more than we protect our time, even though physical space can be regained and time can never be regained.” [1:25:00]“Courage is in the middle between cowardice and recklessness.” [1:43:34]“If you don’t feel fear you are not thinking.” [1:46:21]“The job of a writer, or an artist, or a thought leader, [...] is to explore and articulate what they think is true and believe to be important.” [1:56:31]Follow Ryan Holiday:Website: https://ryanholiday.net/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanholiday Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanholiday Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanholiday/ Learn more about your ad choices.

While many of us base our meal choices on convenience, time, money, and taste, the frightening truth is that we are actually deciding what our cells will be made of, and too often we’re making sh*t choices.Changing your overall health means understanding that food matters in ways that we don’t really comprehend. Shawn Stevenson is joining Tom to share life changing data from research and perspective on foods, pharmaceutical use, and physician diagnoses that are more than shocking! Shawn is the author of the international bestseller Sleep Smarter, and his latest book, Eat Smarter. In this episode, Shawn opens up about his personal experience being diagnosed with a chronic, debilitating disease at 20 years old, and what it meant for him to take his health, his life, and his power into his own hands. This discussion lays out all the reasons why and the ways how you can take control of your health and stop giving that power to people that aren’t living with your pain, your suffering, and poor health. Our society isn’t making the best decisions for anyone’s health. You can be the victim or the hero of your life in this story, the decision is yours to take.“The last 30 years have been marked by exchanging what worked for what sounds good.” -Thomas SowellCheck out Shawn’s latest book, Eat Smarter: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Smarter-Metabolism-Upgrade-Transform-ebook/dp/B07W3M55SP Resources mentioned in this episode:CDC Study: https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm [43:07]88% of U.S. Citizens Metabolically Unfit: https://www.unc.edu/posts/2018/11/28/only-12-percent-of-american-adults-are-metabolically-healthy-carolina-study-finds/ [47:22]SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Shawn Stevenson0:16 | Eat This Food 17:07 | The Calorie Myth Debunked37:14 | Covid-19 & Your Metabolism56:22 | The Psychology of Eating1:07:17 | Is Big Pharma to Blame?1:24:17 | | How to Eat IntuitivelyQUOTES:“Inflammation can get drug through the mud as this bad thing and we want to stop all inflammation, but inflammation is critical for all functions of life.” [0:50]“When you’re eating food, you’re not just eating food, you’re choosing what you’re making your cells out of. Every cell in your body from your heart to your brain is made from food.” [16:43]“We’re the sickest society in the documented history of humanity. We have the highest rate of chronic diseases ever known to man and we’re supposed to be so much better than this.” [36:24]“Right now we’ve created a culture of sickness, and so to be healthy you’re weird as f*ck, to be the healthy person.” [47:09]“When we start to move away from the behavior patterns that’s causing the problem, the body knows how to fix itself.” [54:10]“Every thought that we have creates correlating chemistry in our bodies instantaneously. It’s happening 24/7 always, and will never stop.” [59:36]“In 2020, two-thirds of the United States congress members received a check from a drug company.” [1:14:03]“Whether it’s self medicated or your doctor is your dealer, we have a culture that is seeking to suppress our pain, physical and mental, instead of removing the root cause.” [1:22:14] Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you been avoiding certain groups of people because the environment is so toxic? Have you caught yourself wondering after a conversation if you, in fact, were the one being difficult with someone else? While each scenario is different, the solution is nearly the same, and it requires you to show up as your best self even when it’s difficult. We can’t control other people’s emotions and responses but we are in control of our own. Leading with kindness when you encounter difficult people is the best way to ensure that you have meaningful relationships and conversations with others. You’re not always going to agree, but you can disagree and seek to understand where you may be wrong to make sure you have the healthiest relationships with family, friends, and teammates.

It stops you from having that progress, it stops you from building a life of joy, and at the end of the day, living a joyful life is really the sum total” [4:59] “The very thing that makes people attack you is an outward focused gaze, and those that focus outward fail to see the opportunities in themselves.” [6:30] “If the other person is getting agitated, instead of pretending that they're not, in the most gentle, loving, reconciliatory way, we're trying to figure out what happened.” [12:06] “This comes back to wanting to be able to understand wanting to be able to articulate their side not trying to force them into meeting admitting that they're wrong,” [20:01] “Kindness is the higher value than pointing out every flaw that we see or every bit of obnoxious behavior. Because at some point, it just spirals into madness” [24:00] “Difficult isn't about, I'm setting out to be a jerk. Something has triggered an insecurity in me, and now I'm not at my best.” [27:39] “We all think the other person is being difficult, when in reality, there's probably something that we could have done differently, to have that exchange go in a completely different direction” [28:12] “When we can both explain each other's sides, we can defuse that situation, we can stop the scope creep of the argument, we can keep things just to the facts.” [33:13] “Oftentimes people speak not so that they can be understood, but so that they can understand.” [33:49] “When you point them thumbs back at yourself and look at what you can do, the world gets a whole lot better.” [37:59]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sitting in these emotions forever isn’t practical or healthy. So, what are the options?Bottle it up, push those feelings aside, and push through! You’re hardcore, you’re badass, nothing is going take you out. Just don’t think about it, move on and get gritty.OR…Let the pain take over until you feel like a puddle of nothing. Everything feels hopeless, the pain is unbearable, and how could you ever smile again?Neither of these extremes are healthy ways to cope with your emotions, and as adults, if we’re honest, the majority of us suck at processing emotions. We get angry and take it out on the people closest to us. We go to work sad and hurt over a fight with our partner, now we can’t focus, productivity is low, and the quality of our work sucks.Susan David, Harvard medical school psychologist and author of the #1 WSJ bestseller, Emotional Agility, has some strategies we can all start implementing today to learn how to process our emotions in an effective and healthier way. Her core message is that “emotions are data, not directives.”We’re facing some really challenging times ahead and we’ve been fighting and hoping for better days since pre-Covid. This conversation answers how to deal with the difficult thoughts and use emotions as data instead of allowing them to direct a story of you starring as the victim.You can have every valid reason to fuse with painful emotions, it doesn’t mean they’re helpful in the moment.

Reframe it, recognize you have power, recognize you have control over what you do, and recognize that if you leave people in awe [...] the only way to really have mind blowing success in life is to set the bar ridiculously high, and then surpass all expectations.” [33:20] “the greatest gift anyone can ever give you is doubt.” [35:03] “These people had not misidentified me.

Does being successful guarantee becoming rich? Obviously that requires you to define what success is for you and your journey. The funny twist in all of this is that being rich is so easily fantasized and yet the work it takes to become rich and successful is barely thought of.Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” As hard as that is to accept as truth, it is evident when you look at elite athletes, world-class performers, and the best of the best in any field.When you watch this, understand that Tom’s drive is always fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. The work it takes to achieve his level of success is not easy nor is it for the faint of heart. It’s not impossible, and it’s not the only path forward, but it has proven to be majorly successful over and over again. The path to becoming rich and successful is going to require you to dig deep and it requires skills, grit, and determination for you to tap into a level of potential you never knew was possible.You can watch the full episodes included today here:Tom Bilyeu on The School of Greatness: https://youtu.be/DN6BP65jWhk Tom Bilyeu on Rich Roll:https://youtu.be/prlqWU54NME Tom Bilyeu on Ed Mylett: https://youtu.be/VjTGHnlX8fw Tom Bilyeu on Valuetainment: https://youtu.be/jSvTTh93dY0 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction 0:000:12 | There Are No Excuses, Only Taking Action31:03 | Rich People Do These 8 Things47:37 | The Power of Stories49:50 | Reading List51:29 | Take Ownership54:20 | It’s Not About the Money1:00:29 | Learn From Failure & Move Forward1:22:55 | Bonus: They Choose To Win & Not QuitQUOTES:“We’re not judged by our intentions.

Are you ready to revolutionize the way you think about money, inflation and the impending recession?Chief Executive Money Nerd at Minority Mindset Companies from Punjab, India, Jaspreet Singh has been putting in the work to spread financial education and opportunity on YouTube for years. The goal of this episode is to get you to understand what money really is and give you the knowledge you need to change how you’re using it in your day to day life.The majority of people will unfortunately continue to become poor and the harsh reality for many is that they won’t even see what’s happening in time if at all. We are dedicated to pulling people out of the matrix and helping them see that human potential is nearly limitless. That includes getting people to see the objective truth about the government's role in the financial system, who the Feds are, and how wealthy, financially educated people think and use money differently from poor, financially uneducated people.Tom openly shares his example of how you can be a good entrepreneur and bad investor from not asking the right questions. You can start turning the tables and making better decisions to not just prepare for a potential recession, but to also start building real wealth.

It requires you go through emotionally taxing, ego killing moments of failure, humility, and self-realization to become adaptable and become who you want to be.In this keynote, Tom reveals the hard facts of entrepreneurship and what it takes to be in the 1%. “If you’re only good in the beginning you lack grit.” After watching this it’s time for a hard self-talk and challenge to yourself. It’s time for a no B.S. approach of what will it take to build yourself into the person you desire to be.

The external expectations involuntarily placed on you amount to pressure and loss of self-identity, values and beliefs. On the other hand, the internal expectations you willingly place on yourself can put you into a state of anxiety with doubts, disappointment and indecisiveness. So take a step back from yourself for a moment and consider the number of decisions you passively make everyday while living a less than fulfilling life. If you’re not happy with where you are, how you live, what you do, the money you make (or don’t make) and the success you wish for but never have, it comes down to indecisiveness and lack of action. Mel Robbins is an American attorney, best selling author, motivational speaker, and straight shooter. She’s introduced two of the simplest tools anyone can use starting right now to go from autopilot to decision maker moving towards your dreams.“I hope you have a massive a-ha moment, but it’s not going to mean shit if you don’t take action and do something about it.” This is Mel’s wish for you today. You can trick your brain to do what’s important and beat the habit loops that keep sabotaging you everyday.It’s time for you to stop fighting for your excuses. Stop arguing against the dreams you want and wish for, and start making the decisions for better results day by day, hour by hour, and second, by second. It’s as easy as counting down, 5-4-3-2-1, and go!Trick your brain to do what’s important and beat the habit loops that sabotage you everydayChange yourself and gain the ability to start dealing with the problems you’re experiencingSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Mel Robbins0:14 | Use This Rule Everyday13:16 | Stop Living on Autopilot25:00 | Confidence Is A Skill, Anxiety Is A Habit32:18 | Don’t Waste Your Life48:06 | Master Your Body & Mind58:47 | Take Control By Doing This1:12:37 | Build Desire & Get InspiredQUOTES:“You can truly trace every single problem or complaint in your life to silence and hesitation. Those are decisions.” [1:33]“If you’re stuck that’s the problem. The problem is you’re in your head, you’re thinking. That is the universal problem, and it all starts with the knowledge of what to do and then you hesitate and you think about whether or not you feel like doing it.” [10:29]“You have about a five second window in which you can move from idea to action before your brain kicks into full gear and sabotages any change in behavior.” [15:07]“Confidence is the ability to move from thought to action because when you’re a confident person you believe enough in yourself and capabilities that you’re willing to try.” [26:08]“People are making a fundamental mistake. You are withholding the very support, empowerment, and celebration that you need to change, and to do the hard work, and to face the things that you’re scared of, and that’s why you’re not changing.” [33:07]“The thing about jealousy is that it’s just your inspiration that’s blocked. Jealousy is sort of the insecurity that you have that blocks this inspiration.” [46:58]“Most folks know what they dream about and what they want, and yet they spend all of their time and energy arguing against what they want.” [1:13:58] Learn more about your ad choices.

Obviously, the answer can only be personal to your individual preferences, values, and beliefs, but are you consciously deciding the quality of your life?Ryan Holiday is a best-selling author times 10, media strategist, influential speaker, and bookstore owner. He’s best known for his writings on ancient stoic philosophy and its application for everyday life. The New York Times credited Ryan for the increasing popularity of stoicism.In this discussion, Ryan shares his thoughts and lessons learned about how he came to see what living a good life is for him. Questioning the things you give your time and energy over is the beginning for any of us that want to unpack what we’re doing, who we’re doing it for, and how it adds value with meaning to us. It’s not enough to be a human doing any and everything without intention and clarity. Ryan points out that it's better to learn and practice what it is to just be a human “being.”If the day to day mindless actions of work, preparing dinner, and stressing over getting more clients to increase your revenue is part of your reality, then taking this time to thing through what the right goal is for your to focus on and what you want out of life may be the most important moment in your life thus far.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Ryan Holiday0:25 | How to Live A Good Life10:35 | Choosing The Right Goal 15:35 | What You Want Is What You Value21:42 | Time Between Stimulus and Response28:20 | Using Feedback Effectively34:26 | Check Your Ego for Success43:03 | Get Out of Your Way46:13 | Defining Success for RyanQUOTES:“We seem to have a limitless capacity to steal time from ourselves.” [2:49]“We protect our physical space much more than we protect our time, even though physical space can be regained and time can never be regained.” [3:15]“If you think that action is the end all be all, you end up doing action for the sake of doing action, [...] sometimes you’re just supposed to just be.” [4:24]“It’s this balance. Once you’ve arrived, the thing that got you there is now in some ways your worst enemy.” [8:18]“Where ego comes in is like we've got the things that impress other people, and then the real meaningful impact that we're trying to have.” [12:12]“What do people do with their money? They buy freedom, but oftentimes, they give up freedom to get money. [17:47]“It's about sort of cultivating an awareness, and a process of continual reflection on the data that your life is creating all the time.” [23:39]“You're not trying to get to perfection right now. You're just trying to get a little bit better than you were yesterday or an hour ago.” [25:16]“If you're trying to be everything for everyone, and you read feedback, you're just going to get more lost.” [31:45]“If I'm going to use my emotions, I want to be calm internally, but projecting the emotional response that's going to be effective in that situation, but I don't want to be jerked around by those emotions unconsciously.” [40:30]"We have a limitless capacity to steal time from ourselves."

The essence of cryptocurrency continues to evolve with every new blockchain technology. It’s an innovative space being fueled with unprecedented energy. In the midst of so many innovations on blockchain, bitcoin continues to stand as a storehouse of value that no other cryptocoin has been able to compete with.Muneeb Ali is a Pakistani computer scientist with a PhD in computer science from Princeton, co-founder and CEO of Trust Machines. He is co-founded the Stacks project, a unique programming software created to be smart contract layer that sits on top of bitcoin minus the tension. Muneeb is CEO of Hiro, a developer tooling company. In this conversation Muneeb and Tom discuss the unique attributes that allow bitcoin to stand high above the rest and the likeliness of its usability in a practical marketplace.

It’s even been reported that American unhappiness hit a record low early this year. If you do a climate check with the people in your life and your social media pages, it’s not hard to see that sadly behind some of the smiles, there’s a feeling of unhappiness in the air. Arthur C.

If you search for tips on how to age gracefully, you get tips for how to be more mindful, be more forgiving, stay curious, keep learning, and more. You’ll find a few tips around staying physically active, but you don’t see a lot of advice (if any) on building muscle, getting in the gym, hitting the weights, and putting your body under stress.Dr. Gabrielle Lyon began her 20+ year career in geriatric medicine and palliative care. In her observations and studies on people in declining physical and mental health she became passionately aware of the missed opportunity in the medical community. Chronic diseases commonly associated with aging such as Alzheimers, cardiac disease, and diabetes, were being studied without addressing the underlying source that’s contributing to the problems, deteriorating skeletal muscle.By the end of this episode, if you’re not convinced on the power of muscle building you may want to rewatch. Whether you are male or female, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or older, everyone needs to be invested in building muscle tissue to age gracefully and have a better quality of life. Healthy aging isn’t just about maintaining mental cognition with a failing body, it’s about having quality interactions and the physical ability to stand, walk, and travel without the fear of falling or being dependent on everyone for everything.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Gabrielle Lyon0:14 | Focus on Resistance Training13:06 | The 1st Meal of the Day Right19:26 | Muscle-Centric Protection to Aging34:17 | How to Reverse Aging58:02 | Reduce the Fat Storage1:08:41 | Build Muscle & Don’t Lose ItQUOTES:“If you eat food that is subthreshold to that 2.5g of leucine you will be skinny fat…” [2:42]“The wider the waistline the lower the brain volume.” [23:19]“Lifestyle, choices midlife, having access to the right information changes the trajectory of aging.” [23:41]“Muscle is a nutrient sensing organ.” [34:26]“In the literature high quality protein is defined by amino acid content.

How many have you tried that left you frustrated and pissed off? Probably too many to count or recall. We’re bombarded with misinformation about fitness, exercise, and diet at nauseum. It’s not getting you or anyone closer to the results you really desire, and it almost makes the results you want a bit unclear and confusing.Sal DiStefano is no newcomer to the fitness scene. By the age of 19 he was already general manager at a local gym. Unfortunately for him, but lucky for you and all of his clients since, he had a health scare of his own from an autoimmune disorder which resulted in him losing 15 pounds of muscle! Sal refocused and started learning more about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance.His book, The Resistance Training Revolution, breaks down fitness misconceptions that social media and bad diet fads are flooding you with. In this episode, break through the idea of relying on cardio to burn those extra calories and start realizing the amazing benefits strength training offers your body.

Daily threats to our finances, freedom, and relationships, people are living on edge and tensions are high. Outburst at home during family time slips more often and road rage is becoming common behavior. Tensions are high and with that comes heightened emotional responses. Leonard Mlodinow is an American physicist, screenplay writer, and a five time NY Times best selling author. He and Tom discuss the context of being emotional and understanding how feelings shape our thoughts and our actions from his latest book, Emotional, How Feeling Shape Our Thinking. Leonard reveals the importance of knowing your emotional tendencies, how to regulate your emotions and make conscious decisions for a better emotional response. If you’ve ever thought people were either emotional thinkers or rational, this conversation is going to open your mind to a much bigger picture.Check out Leonard Mlodinow’s book, Emotional, How Feeling Shape Our Thinking: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091PJ8BSJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Leonard Mlodinow1:45 | Emotions and Rational Thought11:03 | Emotional Reactions19:25 | Emotional Northstar32:11 | Mind Body Connection to Emotion42:03 | Emotional Tendencies & Malleability 46:44 | Wanting Things Vs.

If you think at any point, ‘I’m thinking purely objectively and rationally without any emotion's, you're just wrong.” [3:54]“Every thought that you have is influenced by your emotions.” [6:35]“Each emotion is a state of calculation.” [14:09]“If you don’t want to feel that anger there’s something you can do about it. That anger comes from an appraisal, [...] to reappraise it, you tell yourself a different story.” [17:59]“You want to look for an interpretation of what happened that is both true and optimistic.” Tom Bilyeu [32:53]“Liking is a little less direct than wanting.

He’s showing people how to hack their behaviors and rewire their thinking for optimal performance and outcomes.Consider this episode a masterclass on all things dopamine. Dr. Huberman takes the complication out of neuroscience and simplifies how dopamine is tied to motivation, craving, and even perception of time. One of the many takeaways in the episode is that idea that small incremental steps towards a bigger outcome and purpose is worth celebrating if you want to get the benefit of dopamine rewards. Dopamine isn’t necessarily about huge wins and achieving big goals. It’s about the pursuit and craving of those goals. It’s about enjoying the journey and not just focusing on the destination or result. The information Dr. Huberman is unpacking here is going to be significant to anyone in pursuit of a highly successful and meaningful life.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Andrew Huberman0:28 | Spike Dopamine for Motivation25:09 | Break Addiction to Negative Thoughts 44:06 | Master Focus, Reduce Overindulging1:10:46 | Pursue Challenge, Reward Small Wins 1:36:37 | The Power of DopamineQUOTES:“Celebrating the win more than the pursuit, it actually sets you up for failure in the future.” [1:48]“Dopamine itself is not the reward, it's the build up to the reward. And the reward has more of a kind of opioid bliss like property” [15:41]“Pursue rewards, but understand that the pursuit is actually the reward. If you want to have repeated wins.” [16:13]“Pleasure experienced without prior requirements for pursuit is terrible for us.” [17:22]“Agitation and stress were designed to get us up and move us, and when we try and fight that too much, and we try and quiet that stress, that actually can be problematic.” [37:11]“If you have negative thoughts, just remember, I can also introduce positive thoughts the same way I can control running around the block. Positive thoughts are the equivalent of forward physical action.” [42:16]“All the segments of your life are noted by peaks in dopamine, or the way that you happen to conceptualize dopamine.” [45:33]“When people's dopamine is low, they tend to overestimate, okay, okay. And when people's dopamine is high, they tend to underestimate time.” [47:47]“Dopamine is a very misunderstood molecule, it's often talked about only in the context of reward, [...] what's often not discussed is that dopamine is secreted in route to rewards...” [1:22:25]“The molecule dopamine when secreted in the brain, makes us pursue things, build things, create things, makes us want new things that we don't currently already have.” [1:42:45]Follow Andrew Huberman:Website: https://hubermanlab.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andrewhubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab Podcast: Learn more about your ad choices.

So, it’s a state of highly focused attention…” [8:11]“You may not be able to control what’s making you anxious, but you can control how your body’s feeling, you can control how your body is reacting to the stressor.” [18:11]“We don't see medication as necessarily being bad in the same way that we have with hypnosis [...] but it's still around because there's something powerful and helpful about.” [22:51]“Being open and accepting [and] concentrating very intently is a good learning strategy.” [26:44]“Providing intense emotional support can help people help their bodies cope with even a very serious illness.” [50:51]Follow Dr. David Spiegel: Website: https://www.reveri.com/hypnosis Twitter: https://twitter.com/dspiegeldavid Learn more about your ad choices.

Everything you consume comes in contact with your microbiome and Dr. Gundry is simplifying why your gut health is critical to how your body is able to absorb what it needs and provide you with the energy you need to take on much bigger goals in life.

BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/impacttheoryResearch in the fields of neuroscience and pharmacology over the past several decades have resulted in countless positive benefits for humanity.But until very recently, certain classes of drugs had been rigorously excluded from clinical trials - namely, the class of drugs commonly known as psychedelics.Fortunately, a handful of organizations around the world have been making breakthroughs in psychedelic drug research, working in cooperation with government regulators to answer this question: what are these drugs doing to our brains and bodies?One such researcher is today’s guest - Dr. David Nutt. He and his team at Drug Science have brought together leading drug experts from many different clinical backgrounds, with the goal of providing clear, evidence-based information about how a wide range of drugs - from CBD to PCP - impact the human system.In his latest book, Cannabis (seeing through the smoke): The New Science of Cannabis and Your Health, Dr. Nutt gives an in-depth look into one of the most commonly used recreational psychedelics on the planet: cannabis.In today’s episode, we discuss David’s findings on how cannabis affects different systems in the brain, how it differs from other classes of drugs, what the future of drug research looks like, and much much more!SHOW NOTES:00:00 | How Cannabis Works03:54 | How Will I Respond to Cannabis?09:21 | Benefits of Cannabis22:09 | Psychedelics & Your Brain32:27 | Are Drugs Safe?38:51 | The Future of CannabisQUOTES:“You've got to remember - cannabis can affect pretty much every other neurotransmitter system in the brain.” [09:13]“Medical cannabis is going to be the big revolution over the next 20 years, if we use it properly.” [13:45]“Normally, the visual system is just embedded in the visual system. But under psychedelics, because you break down the default mode network, the visual system can then connect everywhere in the brain.” [28:10]“It needs to be tested.

Likewise, it might be easy to assume that the only way to do so is through sophisticated AI algorithms and data science.Incredibly, Jane McGonigal and her colleagues at Institute for the Future have been able to predict several of today’s most disruptive trends as much as ten years in advance.Through her innovative use of alternate reality games, hyper-specific journaling techniques, and something called “future backcasting”, Jane continues to not only lay out seemingly impossible future scenarios, but also help prepare people to be proactive in building the future they want to see.If you like what you see in today’s episode, then I highly encourage you to check out Jane’s latest book, Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything―Even Things That Seem Impossible TodayOrder your copy by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3JwImO2 SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:40 | A New Approach to Futurism13:23 | The Psychology of Predicting the Future22:50 | Rehearsing Catastrophes32:56 | How to Practice for the Future38:18 | Crypto, Government, and Privacy48:31 | Future Backcasting53:54 | The Future of Web3 GamingQUOTES:“The brain normally assumes things will continue as they are.

When you’re a high performer and someone on a mission to reach the highest levels of success, you have to set the bar ridiculously high and get after it. This becomes problematic for people when they’ve set unrealistic expectations and goals so high they start experiencing a sense of shame and failure. Can you set ridiculously high expectations and still be cool with imperfection? Tom reveals why it’s so important for you to do and believe that which moves you towards your goals. When aiming for perfection hinders your performance and ability to execute, it’s time to rethink your strategy. Being imperfect still allows you to achieve more than most ever will if you are willing to value the sincere pursuit of your goal over feeling good enough trying to avoid failure along the way.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction0:21 | Perfectionism Doesn’t Serve You5:30 | Value the Sincere Pursuit 10:19 | Is It Perfection or High Standards?14:00 | How to Set Standards18:42 | Constructive Self-CriticismQUOTES:“Kicking yourself in the ass is super powerful, but my rule is, I never do anything that diminishes my sense of self.” [5:52]“Reach for the farthest star in the world, but don't value yourself for whether or not you achieve it. Value yourself for the sincere pursuit…” [7:11]“Success cannot be guaranteed, struggle can. You will struggle. I cannot guarantee that you will be successful, but the juice is never going to be the success. It's never going to be the accolades.” [8:16]“You have a hole inside of you that can only be filled with progress, meaning, and purpose. It can't be filled with accomplishment” [9:23]“The desire for perfectionism is really fear that you're not good enough in failure.” [11:12]“If the job gets done at eight units of energy, you're better off applying the extra two units of energy to something else.” [15:31]“Aim to have a perfect career, which is full of failure, embarrassment, and just rich with hard on skill. That's perfection we're chasing.” [18:22]“We have to understand there's tremendous power in the dark side, but that it's a corrosive power, and that if you use it too much it will destroy the only thing in life that actually matters” [19:30]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.

"You can fail in life doing the things you hate, so you might as well take a chance doing what you love." - Jim CarreyWhen it comes to pursuing your passion, people often think that you need to decide between making a living, and doing what you love.The reality is that not only can you have both, but if you’re going to live a life of fulfillment, it’s actually necessary to do so.However, that doesn’t mean that it will be easy - especially if you’re stuck in a dead-end job, or you aren’t even sure what else you’d like to do with your life.In today’s episode of Impact Theory, you’ll get answers to some of the most common questions about transitioning from an unfulfilling career to one that excites you - without sacrificing financial stability in the process.Whether you’re suited for entrepreneurship, or would do better as a linchpin in an organization you believe in, you’ll be surprised at just how universally applicable the tools and tactics are for getting unstuck and turning your passion into a full-time career.SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction00:22 | Overcoming the Fear of Following Your Passion06:07 | Transitioning From Regular Job to Dream Job13:56 | Leaving Corporate to Pursue Your Own Business19:02 | What Tom Would Tell His 20-Year-Old Self22:55 | Are Humans Wired to be Subservient?QUOTES:“There is no success big enough that you can stand in that success, and that it will last forever.” [00:52]“The problem fundamentally is that life is an ever changing rollercoaster of emotion, and the name of the game is to manage those emotions well.” [03:34]“Because I know that I can always slow down and take a step back, I never get overwhelmed. And because of that, I'm able to keep going and keep performing. But if I just tried to run in the red all the time, then I would stop having fun. I would not want to do it anymore, and I would give up.” [13:26]“As you figure out what that business is going to be that you're growing, make sure that it's something that you would love doing every day, even if you were failing.” [17:01]“Don't buy into a narrative that you need to run your own business or that you need to be an entrepreneur or anything like that. What you want to figure out is, where will you love existing? Where can you chase fulfillment the hardest? Where can you engage with your passions most deeply? That's the question.” [25:07]“If you can't say in a single sentence what really fills your tank, what gives you that energy, what makes you feel alive… if you can't say that in a single sentence, you're in trouble.” [26:42] Learn more about your ad choices.

Unfortunately, we need to be able to deal effectively with the realities of everyday life, rather than shrink away from them. According to Dr. Mark Epstein, most people have a fundamental misunderstanding about what Buddhism is trying to teach us. It isn’t about dissolving the ego completely, or becoming totally detached from our past and future. Rather, the point of the Buddha’s teachings is to use fundamental psychological truths to become more effective at actually engaging with the difficulties of everyday life. So if you’re struggling with difficult relationships, have difficulties with past trauma, or simply have never been able to understand the point of meditation, then you’re sure to find something valuable in today’s episode. And if you like what you see here, then you should definitely order Mark’s latest book: The Zen of Therapy: Uncovering a Hidden Kindness in Life: https://amzn.to/3NDZxk5 SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:27 | Why Eastern Philosophy Is So Attractive09:16 | The Core Tenets of Buddhism19:50 | How Buddhism Heals Trauma35:04 | The Four Noble Truths51:05 | What is the Ego?56:49 | The Eightfold Path1:04:39 | Struggling With Meditation1:19:06 | Psychedelics and Therapy QUOTES:“There's something beneficial in allowing ourselves, and in training ourselves, to be with that which is difficult in ourselves, in our partners, in life.” [13:34] “It's not what you're experiencing, or what you've experienced, that matters. It's how you relate to it.” [23:42] “The Buddhist teaching is such a help, because it's what it's saying is, this aspect of experience is unavoidable. And we can find our best selves by staying with it, rather than trying to get away from it.” [40:11] “The ego doesn't need or doesn't actually want to be in control all the time. We just need it for certain things, and then we have to learn to let it go.” [55:23] “Why don't you leave yourself alone? Why don't you just let yourself be? Why don't you see who you are that way? Why don't you discover who you are by relating naturally to the world, to other people, to yourself?” [1:03:08] Follow Dr. Mark Epstein:Website: http://markepsteinmd.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mepstein108Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markepstein108Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markepsteinmd/Order The Zen of Therapy: https://amzn.to/3NDZxk5 Learn more about your ad choices.

So we do see them correlate - it's hard to tease them out.” [15:45]“I can't stress this enough: Alzheimer's disease, autism, diabetes - a lot of these diseases that we see in society have been tied to mitochondrial damage from reactive oxygen species. It's really important.” [20:50]“We have technology today, that allows us to eat 24 hours a day. We have technology today that we can turn night into day if we want, we can work 24/7. There's gamers that do that, they go straight for 48 hours and they die.

And that's what my education was all about. But having kind of come out the other side of it, I have a deeper appreciation for… the beauty in not always knowing.” [07:43]“I think most people are walking around, totally unconnected from themselves. They don't understand why they do what they do. They continue to do the same things over and over and over again, they flog themselves, and yet decline the opportunity to really deconstruct that.” [34:28]“If you have a very high pain tolerance, which a lot of addicts do, the fear or the pain associated with the change always exceeds the pain of their current situation. And it's not until or unless the pain of their current situation is so great, that overshadows the fear of doing something different.” [1:03:11]“First of all, nobody should go on a diet, they should be trying to change their lifestyle habits in a manner that is sustainable.” [1:15:57]Follow Rich Roll:Website - https://bit.ly/1lTmUBQ Twitter - https://bit.ly/1Rpn19v YouTube - https://bit.ly/2ROrM2G Instagram - https://bit.ly/2PuIWAU Facebook - https://bit.ly/2A9vDAB LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/2A9Pbop Learn more about your ad choices.

As new diet fads circulate around the internet and the latest trends and research seems to change every other day, finally some pieces of the “what’s making me fat” puzzle are starting to fit together. Even more so, with today’s health concerns, obesity is no longer the only indicator for poor health and metabolic disease. Dr. Richard Johnson is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is known as the Fructose Expert.

So if you take away the fire, and you go on a low carb diet, and you are in high fat now, well, there's no stimulus to gain weight because because you've taken away the fructose” [17:18]“One of the classic means for stimulating fructose turns out to be from a high glucose level in the blood.” [23:02]“When you eat, if your glucose goes up in your blood, it triggers the production of fructose.” [37:59]“So it's either the fructose you eat, or the fructose you make if you eat a lot of fructose, you're going to activate the switch.” [38:58]“We have a higher uric acid, and this makes us more sensitive to the effects of fructose because fructose is working through uric acid.

And what a lot of the researchers on meaning say is that this moment only has meaning because of what it means in the future.” [04:58]“You don't have to commit to something for the rest of your life. But like, what do you want to commit to for the next three to five years?

Some experts support its effectiveness to help people lose weight, while others claim that it’s the worst diet to try. Research and data have advanced and proven that everyone has it wrong. Dr. Steven Gundry is with Tom explaining why he and the rest of the medical community got ketosis all wrong. He shares why mitochondrial uncoupling is really the star and this is what you need to know to make your dieting experience easier and more effortless.

The rest have to come from free fatty acids and glucose.” [19:09]“Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all cost from damage” [20:15]“In a ketogenic diet, if you do it right and uncouple your mitochondria, you waste fuel. You feed six dogs instead of one, and that's where the benefit of ketosis comes from.” [30:21]“You want to cycle in and out of ketosis on a 24 hour basis.” [49:37]“It's the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis.

What is the nature of consciousness? How do we know that what we are experiencing is base reality and not a simulation?These may seem like the kind of questions that you’d associate with modern concepts like The Matrix and simulation theory, but the fact is that every ancient philosophical tradition has wrestled with these problems in some form or another.And with the advent of rich, complex VR worlds and the nascent metaverse, even more philosophers are turning toward these deep questions of consciousness and the human experience.One of the most interesting thinkers in this space is David Chalmers, Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science at New York University, and co-director of the Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness.In his latest book, Reality+: virtual worlds and the problems of philosophy, David investigates not only the nature of reality, but how we should conceptualize virtual reality, the idea that we can actually live a meaningful life in VR, how we know there’s an external world, and much more.We explore these topics and more in today’s wide-ranging conversation, covering everything from the hard problem of consciousness to the probability that we’re actually living in a computer simulation.You don’t have to be a student of philosophy to enjoy today’s conversation - especially if you’re as excited as I am about the possibilities being unlocked by virtual reality and the metaverse.And if you want to dive deeper into David’s work, you can order his new book, Reality+, by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3vMSS0v SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:41 | The Hard Problem of Consciousness10:42 | Consciousness as a Fundamental Law of Nature17:38 | The Foundations of Simulation Theory27:33 | Is Reality Made of Information?39:03 | How to Live a Meaningful Virtual Life45:10 | The Philosopher’s Zombie51:59 | Orderable States of Consciousness58:23 | Zhuangzi and the Butterfly1:05:20 | The Experience Machine1:14:40 | GPT3 and Deepfakes1:19:08 | The Future of “Technophilosophy”QUOTES:“How does the water of neural firings in the brain turn into the wine of consciousness?” [05:45]“My view is what we have to do for consciousness is something akin to what Maxwell did for charge - treat consciousness as a fundamental property in nature and search for the fundamental laws that govern it.” [09:09]“One of the basic questions in philosophy: Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is there anything in the universe? And it just looks like some things you have to take as fundamental properties and fundamental laws. And that's not wholly satisfying, but it kind of looks like it's the best we can do.” [32:39]“I think the more we understand the connection between the brain and consciousness, the more capacities we're going to find for both manipulation and transformation of consciousness.” [51:48]“I do want to think you can have… a meaningful life in VR, because what happens in VR is real - it's not scripted. It's not pre programmed. You can actually build your own life in VR.” [1:08:23]“I think at a certain point, the avatar can begin to play… many of the roles of the physical body.

The goal is to uncover as much information as possible.” - Chris VossWhether we know it or not, much of our success in business and in life depends on our ability to negotiate effectively. From buying a house or car to negotiating your salary to coming to an agreement with your partner - negotiation is a game-changing skill that everyone should master.In today’s episode of Impact Theory, master negotiator Chris Voss shares some of the most important takeaways he’s learned over the years, both as a 24-year veteran of the FBI, and as the founder and CEO of The Black Swan Group - a world-class negotiation consulting firm.Chris has been on the front lines of some of the most high-stakes hostage negotiations of the last 20 years, and the depth of his knowledge of human psychology is apparent throughout the whole conversation.To learn more about the art of effective negotiation, I highly encourage you to read Chris’ bestselling book, Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It. https://amzn.to/356ckub You can also find tons of free resources on how to reach your full potential as a negotiator at https://www.blackswanltd.com/ SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:04 | When Lives Are On The Line04:33 | The Dos Palmas Kidnappings10:50 | Teaching Your Kids Resilience18:36 | Dos Palmas, Continued29:20 | The Best Hostage Negotiation Tactic37:24 | The Biggest Driver of Human Decision-Making45:04 | Chris’ Views On Human Nature1:04:15 | What Makes Someone a Good Negotiator?1:12:18 | Applying Negotiation Tactics To Everyday Life1:26:00 | Anger, Emotional Control, And Flow States1:33:12 | The Power Of Open-Ended Questions1:44:27 | Black Swan Negotiation StrategiesQUOTES:“When you're in the battle, you can't bail.

And that's human nature - doesn't matter the scenario” [26:01]“One of the crazy things that I learned a long time after the fact is, terrorists got moms. I mean, you'd be shocked at the emotional vulnerability across the board, to the power of a well crafted message from a mom.” [30:49]“Loss is… the biggest impact on decision making of human beings across the board.” [38:05]“You know, everybody's gonna do stuff where they failed themselves, where they were fragile, they made a bad decision. They were heartless, either intentionally or accidentally, like, how do you pick it up after that?” [58:59]“How every negotiation should go: script out your first two or three lines, and then you're into an ad lib from that point on.

Don Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist that argues that organisms develop their perception of the world directed towards fitness payoffs and not reality. Everything from our perception of reality is taken in through what Don would relate to a spacetime simulator that we are experiencing through a virtual reality headset.

Why are some people able to capture our attention with apparent ease, while others have difficulty standing out from the crowd?According to bestselling author Vanessa Van Edwards, the answer lies in the hidden language of cues - the tiny, nonverbal signals we send to others in every interaction.In today’s episode of Impact Theory, Vanessa explores the powerful impact that even the most subtle cues can have on others.Not only that, but she shares some powerful techniques for improving our awareness of cues, and how to use them to our advantage - proving once and for all that charisma isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you can develop with practice.If you want to dive even deeper into what’s discussed in todays episode, then be sure to check out Vanessa’s latest book, Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3h2Eg4p SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:08 | What is charisma and how do you develop it?09:19 | Why modern communication habits are causing burnout12:37 | How to control your cues in the digital landscape17:16 | Why touch is such a powerful cue24:51 | How to spot a liar26:45 | Teaching children to read cues30:59 | Addressing social cues in real time37:27 | The power of oxytocin in communication40:20 | Why it’s so important to understand cues44:23 | Reading cues in tone of voice48:20 | The best way to read a poker player53:06 | The fastest way to cut through B.S. and get to know peopleQUOTES:“When we add the warmth, plus competence - so likable, friendly, compassionate, trustworthy, plus capable, powerful, impressive - that's the sweet spot.” [02:30]“As humans, we first meet another human, the very first question we ask about them is, ‘Can I trust you?’ ...the next question we answer - and it is the next question is, ‘Can I rely on you?’” [04:09]“I think Social Assertiveness is actually like a hidden trait that everyone should learn. Because to be socially assertive, it means you're putting your needs forward, but you're being polite about it.” [16:05]“I would rather you be aware of the cues that are being sent to you to know, ‘I want this or I don't’ because they are that powerful, that if someone has bad intentions, they can still produce trust.” [41:01]“I think that's something that is an underestimated cue that we don't talk about enough, but our voice gives away a lot of our personality and our mental state.” [43:10]“I think that people who doubt their ideas, and they doubt themselves, that leaks in their cues.” [47:35]“Our subconscious is this amazing cue reading machine. And so it is constantly trying to tell your gut, ‘Listen, that wasn't good. We should be nervous,’ or, ‘This person is great.’ It's constantly trying to speak to us, we just have to listen to it.” [51:37]Follow Vanessa Van Edwards:Website: https://www.scienceofpeople.com/ Twitter: https://bit.ly/3v2mvKR Facebook: https://bit.ly/3oXUYX6 Instagram: https://bit.ly/3BzmgrX Learn more about your ad choices.

And because of that, it's the reason that a monotherapy or a one drug approach to Alzheimer's, for example, is beyond myopic. It's never going to work.” [03:02]“Our metabolic health globally is in a terrible place. I mean, a third of American adults have hypertension, and 10% of kids aged 12 to 18 have hypertension. That's crazy. 50% of adult Americans will be obese by the year 2030. Not just overweight, but obese.” [04:16]“Elevation of uric acid is associated with an 80% increased risk of dementia, a 55% increase risk of Alzheimer's specifically, and a 165% increased risk of vascular dementia.” [13:53]“What would be the upside of having uric acid create insulin resistance, and therefore cause blood sugar to go up? Why? Because when you're starving, it'll help power your brain.” [16:50]“What we're seeing now are these metabolic derangements that underlie these diseases that represent a disconnect between evolution and environment.” [22:06]“If it has a barcode, and it's in the grocery store, it has added sweetener - 70% do.

What you want is just that tiny little bit of distance, that ability when you're feeling it, to go back and go, ‘Hmm, why am I really feeling this? What are the roots of it?’” [04:14]“I could give you the best techniques in the world, but it won't matter at all if you don't feel that need for it, that hunger for the ability to have a slight degree of control of your own actions.” [05:40]“If you're so attuned to what other people are saying and doing and telling you and thinking, that voice gets drowned out by a million other voices, and you're not able to hear yourself anymore.” [12:48]“The ability to accept death and look it square in the eye, and accept this as your reality, that you're not going to live forever, is very liberating.” [22:48]“The time you're wasting getting enraged, and being manipulated, and feeling all these things and getting into that lizard part of you is time you're wasting, and your life is a lot shorter than you think it is.” [27:49]Follow Robert Greene:Website: https://bit.ly/3upsJnQ Twitter: https://bit.ly/3otQlnt Instagram: https://bit.ly/3uvleMf TikTok: https://bit.ly/3JaQUL0 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/robertgreene Learn more about your ad choices.

And so based on that matrix code, I can actually read whether that's the real one or not…and based on whether you have the real one or not, I can give you advantages.” [02:39]“When I look at some of the infrastructure stuff that's being put in place now, and I project out where we're going to be in three years, it is going to be absolutely incredible, a deep integration with so many different aspects of your life.” [07:27]“Not only is it boring to be around people that are negative, but it really I think is a bad look for the space. So find people that are wonderful, joyful, that are uplifting, that are trying to make this a better place to be, that want to see you succeed and do well.” [10:19]“My hope is that the blockchain is really ushering in a whole new way for the fast movers, the builders, the creatives to come in and build a whole new way of doing things that is sidestepping the traditional systems and some of the brokenness of the traditional system, and hopefully making things such that we all have an equal playing field that we all have the same starting line.” [16:10]“It's really pretty extraordinary the number of different opportunities that web3 is creating. And this is why I'm so bullish on this long term. I really think that this creates a foundational shift.

That includes being able to understand not only the obstacles put in your way by the outside world, but your own inadequacies that are holding you back. In this episode, I answer some common questions around goal-setting, self-reflection, what to do about overthinking, and the importance of learning from suffering. SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction00:48 | How to Effectively Self-Reflect06:16 | How Can I Recognize When I’m Overthinking?08:37 | Why Bother to Learn From Suffering?13:09 | Necessary vs. Unnecessary Struggle19:00 | Taking Back Control of Your Own Path QUOTES:“Happiness, which is incredibly transitory, is probably not the right thing to focus on. The right thing to focus on, in my humble opinion, is fulfillment.” [01:07] “I think honestly, most people live their entire lives overthinking things, but the easy way to know is whether or not you're taking action. If you're taking action, as a way of experimenting with the thoughts, you're probably just fine. If you're just trying to think your way to a solution, you're almost certainly overthinking it.” [08:19] “Even when you truly have been victimized, you do not have to play the victim.” [10:47] “I cannot guarantee that you will be successful in life, but I can guarantee that you're going to struggle.” [13:20] “Steering yourself towards your goals is really about wanting something so badly that you're willing to try over and over and over again in order to make progress.” [19:42] Learn more about your ad choices.

Ombre Lab: To get $30 off -- go to: tryombre.com/ImpactAre we closer to becoming biologically immortal? What would you strive to do or dream of if you could extend your life to even 150 years? Until recently the idea of longevity felt more like reaching your 90s and possibly 100 at best, and if you manage to accomplish that goal, a high quality of life would be best and expected. But what if you could extend your lifespan by even 10 years? Making sure that those years are exciting and meaningful would be a priority. Dr.David Sinclair, world renowned geneticist, is joining Tom in this episode to break down exactly why it is that we age on a cellular level, and what is now becoming possible in terms of slowing down our biological clock and even possibly reversing our biological age. If you want to know what you can do to start improving the quality of your aging life and stay younger longer this episode is for you, and you’ll want to check out Dr. David Sinclair’s newest podcast, Lifespan (link below).SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to David Sinclair0:28 | Why We Age9:40 | What Goes Wrong With Aging23:44 How to Reverse Aging37:35 | Face Adversity45:37 | How Metformin Works55:02 | Lifestyle for Longevity“We could have reversed aging just by making all cells a stem cell, we have the technology to do that.” [23:43]“So we're reversing the aging of the eye, that's not hard at all, but we can reverse the age of the liver, the skin, other labs are doing the spleen, thymus, through this method.” [31:13]“Humanity lucked out that we can actually do this and that there's a backup copy of youth in each of our cells that can be tapped into.” [32:03]“We don't think about what it's like at the end, it is not fun. It's not typically like, Oh, you just go to sleep. Those are the lucky ones.” [36:39]“The main concept that I think we all need to remember is that our bodies respond well to perceived adversity.” [38:55]Follow David Sinclair: Website: https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/davidsinclairpodcast Podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifespan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidasinclair Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidsinclairphd Learn more about your ad choices.

Be proud of the stuff that has knocked you down. Be proud of the crap, the adversity that you've gone through and it didn't break you. You came through the other side of the tunnel.” - Jay Glazer They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. This is especially true for Jay Glazer - and for his latest book: Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety into Motivation and You Can Too If you’ve been watching Jay on camera over the years, you might find it hard to believe that, under the surface, he lives with an almost daily struggle with anxiety and depression. But he doesn’t let it keep him down or stop him dead in his tracks - instead he uses it as fuel for his relentless drive and motivation. In today’s interview, we go deep on the importance of loyalty, being of service, and the importance of learning to build yourself up from the inside out, rather than looking for validation only from the outside. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety and depression and felt like you had to “fake it” to get through the day, this one’s for you. Likewise, I especially recommend that you check out Jay’s new book, Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety into Motivation and You Can Too: https://amzn.to/33CWuXf SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:22 | What Drove Jay to Endure Years of Hardship06:44 | Authenticity, Loyalty, and Helping Others09:52 | What “The Gray” and “The Blue” Mean to Jay19:52 | Jay’s Journey to Find Happiness27:59 | Merging Vets and Players34:04 | The Origins of Jay’s New Book39:39 | Helping Others Not Feel Alone in Their Struggle43:40 | The Balance Between Toughness and Caring QUOTES:“As a result of me not knowing how to build myself from the inside out, I had to go do everything that I could to try to get some love from the outside in.” [02:28] “Whoever says quitting is not an option is the biggest moron in the world, because it's an option every day, right? It just sits on your shoulder every day.” [04:55] “I think if all of us do that a lot more for each other, where we're not just thinking about, “Hey, how can I get by, how can I move myself?” the world would be a much better place. And we'd all be able to stress a little less, but I think too many people just take care of themselves.” [09:03] “The universe is not against me, and the sky is not falling - hasn't fallen all this time yet. I wake up every day feeling like it's going to - a lot of people, successful or not, have that same fear. But no one talks about it. I’m like fuck it, I'm going to talk about it. I’m gonna put it all out there for us.” [24:22] “I tell them all, ‘That game starts, that cage door locks, you gotta make that guy across from you beg to get out of that cage with you.

You might have a little more stimulus, but you'll have more fatigue, which might delay recovery, and that's going to affect total volume and volume is a superior driver than fatigue” [26:01]“The vertical diet was intended to be more inclusive of what historically I had seen as over restrictive” [33:02]“The muscle is the most important organ in the body [...] it's a sink for glucose. That's what the muscle is so effective at particularly when you're moving it and working it.” [47:34]“Taking a 10 minute walk after each meal is twice as effective as Metformin for reversing or preventing type two diabetes, just from moving the muscles and getting your your body to do what it's supposed to do” [48:18]Follow Stan Efferding: Website: https://stanefferding.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/stanefferding Twitter: https://twitter.com/StanEfferding Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanefferding/ Facebook: Learn more about your ad choices.

It doesn't matter what you choose to do, you're going to be alive, because you're going to make progress.” - Tony RobbinsTo say that Anthony Robbins is a legend is to say nothing at all.Beyond being a #1 New York Times bestselling author, Tony is also a founder, partner, or early investor in 100+ privately held businesses with combined sales exceeding $7 billion annually.He’s been honored by Accenture as one of the top fifty business intellectuals in the world, having consulted and coached some of the world’s greatest athletes, entertainers, Fortune 500 CEOs, and four US presidents.Finally, through his philanthropy and partnership with Feeding America, he has provided more than 800 million meals and is on track to provide 1 billion meals by 2025.And it isn’t only his impressive list of credentials that made me so excited to have him as a guest on Impact Theory. Tony’s books, talks, and live events have also had a profound impact on me, both personally and professionally.Our conversation ranged far and wide, covering everything from the secrets to true fulfillment in life to his deep research into the cutting edge of regenerative medicine.If you (like me) feel excited after what Tony shared in this episode, I encourage you to check out Tony’s new book, Life Force: How New Breakthroughs in Precision Medicine Can Transform the Quality of Your Life & Those You Love: https://amzn.to/3qrXhDa SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction02:14 | What Drives Tony to Write Deeply About Big Issues10:13 | Where is the Cutting Edge of Medicine in 2022?16:56 | How Tony Made a Huge Impact Despite the Pandemic21:09 | How to Deal With Weak Links in an Organization24:14 | On Destroying Limitations and Learning to Embrace Risk27:48 | The Foundations of a Culture of Weakness (And How to Overcome It)36:11 | The Most Important Pillar of Lasting Change43:37 | How Tony Continually Embraces Change48:15 | Tony’s Ultimate Breakthrough 2022 Challenge54:36 | What Drives Tony to Learn DeeplyQUOTES:“Progress equals happiness.

And when you're growing and giving is when life is magnificent.” [25:45]“People need a new perspective. And you can't do it by just sitting and thinking - you’ve got to move your body, you’ve got to change your energy and your focus, because [with a] low level of energy, I don't give a damn how smart you are - you're not going to use all of your ability.” [34:57]“The one common denominator [of] people that are successful over a lifetime is the sustained hunger. Hunger is the number one factor.” [46:04]“I think anybody that gets wired to grow and give is gonna have a really fulfilling life.

How can you achieve that goal and does achieving that goal start the same for everyone? Per usual there is an abundance of information out that can be highly contradictory to each other and there is also a lot of narrative and research even showing results that are based on ulterior motives. Is it better to follow the research that says go vegetarian because animal proteins are not good for humans? Could it be better to stick with data that supports high quality proteins from an animal based diet? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is joining Tom for another informative conversation about how transparent conversations, research and data need to be shared to better inform people about the best ways to protect muscle and thus achieve longer, healthier, more fulfilling high-quality lives. Being focused on strength and the functionality of muscles and what is required to maintain and build healthy muscle is a must for anyone thinking about longevity.

You have to both have muscle and a diet that isn't overwhelming your system.” Tom Bilyeu [27:29] “Our expectation is now to lower the quality of evidence to be able to say, well, no plant and animal protein are the same. No, they're not!” [31:01] “Skeletal muscle is an organ system, just like the thyroid.

It gives you the ability to close your eyes, imagine something that you want to create, and then open your eyes and actually be able to go out there and do it.However, I’ve also found that people have wildly different opinions on money, how we should relate to it, and how it affects our levels of happiness and fulfillment.But what do people who have really mastered the game of money have to say about it?What constitutes a wealthy life? How should we define success? How do we create and monetize long-term value for those we serve?Todays’ episode of Impact Theory answers those questions, and many more. I’ve assembled some of my favorite moments from past guest interviews, all revolving around our relationships with money and financial success.What was your #1 takeaway from the episode? Let me know in the comments below! 👇SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Ken Honda on shifting your focus around wealth09:01 | David Rubenstein on children of wealthy families17:54 | Ramit Sethi on rewriting your invisible scripts around money28:10 | Tilman Fertitta on forging your own path in business37:05 | Yancey Strickler on new ways of measuring valueQUOTES:“I think wealth is an attitude. If you feel like you're so happy, and so content with what you have, you are already wealthy. But if you have to struggle every day, and you cannot find happiness, either in your business or in your personal life, I think you're not wealthy, even if you have billions in your bank account.” - Ken Honda [05:38]“Raising children is a complicated thing. If you mess up raising your children, nothing else in life really matters. Your ultimate legacy is not a building named after you, or a scholarship named after you - it's your children” - David Rubenstein [13:50]“It's not impossible to make money - there's actually a lot of people making money. It's not impossible to get ahead, pay off debt, even invest and grow - there's a lot of people doing it. But if you're surrounded by people who constantly complain about how difficult it is, and it's impossible, guess what? You're going to absorb those invisible scripts.” - Ramit Sethi [19:43]“You've got to know your God given gifts, and everybody has it. Everybody in this room has it right here. So do what you know was your God given gift and find a way to use that as your path.” - Tilman Fertitta [33:18]“My assumption was always that financial value is simply the first value we've learned to rationally express - that financial value is a proxy for goodness that is mathematical and that is tradable and that is universal - and that that process can be repeated for other values” - Yancey Strickler [44:48]FOLLOW KEN HONDA:WEBSITE: https://kenhonda.comFACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/33gYfss INSTAGRAM: https://bit.ly/3FbTBJw TWITTER: https://bit.ly/3tc0IQ4 FOLLOW DAVID RUBENSTEIN:WEBSITE: Learn more about your ad choices.

We are living through interesting times where gender roles are an ongoing heated discussion. Tempers and passion flare from all sides, but what we cannot ignore is the damage being done to both boys and girls. There have been intense movements that even though they are noble they have caused damage along the way socially in the psyche of young boys and girls. If you follow Tom you’ve heard him say time and time again, we are all having a biological experience. What does this biological experience become when society and doctrine contradict and suppress the nature of our biological experiences? Dr. Warren Farrell joins Tom to discuss his latest book, The Boy Crisis, Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It. The resolution as Dr. Warren states begins with understanding different sides of the argument. Learning how to steel man the opposing sides' argument will help create a foundation where the real problem, lack of father involvement and fatherless homes, can be addressed for the sake of our boys (and girls). “The boy crisis resides where dads do not reside.” -Dr. Warren FarrellWhether you are a father, mother, teacher, leader or fatherless child yourself, this conversation is not to be ignored and forgotten.Check out Warren Farrell’s new book, The Boy Crisis: https://amzn.to/3JMfjHR SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Warren Farrel1:25 | Hear Opposing Perspectives9:04 | Steel Man Arguments22:47 | Disposability of Men28:55 | Missing Fathers & The Boy Crisis31:27 | Checks & Balances Parenting45:11 | Catch 22 of Work & Family49:17 | Be Your Partner’s Hero56:02 | Falling In Love With Superman59:29 | Learned Gender Roles1:10:39 | The Myth of Male Power1:23:08 | Lack of Father InvolvementQUOTES:“Knowing how to listen to different perspectives is more important than the rightness or the wrongness of your perspective.” [2:30]“Whenever someone is angry, that angry anger is almost always vulnerability’s mask…” [3:37]“The boy crisis resides where dads do not reside.” [29:05]“The children that do the best are the ones that have an involved biological mom and dad.” [32:32]“One of the biggest mistakes that CEO types make is using their skill sets as a CEO to solve their wife's problem…” [48:21]“The way to protect her is by hearing her through and hearing her out. That is the solution. So you have to reformulate the method you use to protect.” [51:20]“I become her hero by helping her become her own hero.” [53:43]“The second they start realizing that you will provide complete safety for their perspective, there's no reason to shout, there's no reason to exaggerate. There's no reason to lie.” [58:24]“We have this natural instinct to protect women and therefore create freedoms for them, and to not want men to complain, without looking at them with disgust, or with at least pity.” [1:06:51]“The new future man is one who can respect himself if he's a natural warrier on the battlefield, [...], but also can respect yourself and know...

It’s a new year, and people everywhere are looking for ways to improve their productivity so that they can crush their goals.But no matter what productivity system you use, you’ll still have trouble reaching your goals if counterproductive habits are holding you back.Maybe you have trouble focusing on one thing at a time, or aren’t sure which project to tackle first.Or perhaps you’re constantly plagued by procrastination, always having a hard time getting past the starting block.Whatever issues around productivity and self-management you may have, this episode of Impact Theory has you covered.In it, I answer some of the most common questions I get around productivity, procrastination, time management, and goal-setting.SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction00:33 | Is Procrastination a Habit or a Symptom of Anxiety?05:31 | How to Regain Focus on One Thing08:11 | How to Manage a Hectic Workload14:04 | Developing Discipline & Time Management Skills19:08 | Coordinating Time Management With Your PartnerQUOTES:“I know if I'm chilling on a Monday at 1pm, I know I have a problem. I'm outside of the bright lines that I have drawn for myself, which is Monday through Friday, if I'm awake, I'm either working or working out. ” [03:32]“We don't want to work until we crash - that doesn't make sense. So we're going to take that off the table, because that's like running a marathon and saying, ‘I'm going to run the first mile at a four minute mile pace, and then, whatever - the rest will take care of itself.’” [08:33]“Remember, doing less is always an option. Now I'm the go hardcore, the push, push, push guy, I love hustle, porn, all of that. But I'm telling you, nothing matters more than fulfillment and joy. And if you're burning yourself out, and you're stressed, and you're crashing, that's not joyful.” [10:59]“We're not doing discipline because our parents tell us to - we're doing discipline as a test to see if it works to get us towards our goal.” [14:44]“You want to make it such that you want it badly enough that the discipline becomes easy to stick to, because it's going to move you towards that thing that you really want. But you've got to learn - you've got to learn to want that thing.” [17:46]“You must establish a value system. There's no right or wrong answer to your values, there's only things that either move you towards your goal, or move you away from your goal.” [20:31] Learn more about your ad choices.

Unfortunately, in reality you may have a friend that can kill a whole pizza, have dessert and eat extra fries without gaining an ounce of weight. Others seem to put on weight even looking at a plate of food. What’s the deal? Why is it so easy for some people to gain weight and so hard for others. Why are so many people still sold on the calories in and calories out solution to obesity and weight control? Gary Taubes is an investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author. His latest book, The Case for Keto, tackles a lot of the misinformation around calories and why some people struggle with losing weight even when calories are restricted to the point of a starvation diet. We are led to believe that overeating is the problem, but what if eating too much isn’t what’s making you fat? What if your partner's problem is really how sensitive their body is to storing fat? This interview may be the missing piece of the puzzle that will help you and the people you love make the right diet changes, today.

So if insulin is elevated, carbohydrates are your fuel.” [35:28] “Carbohydrates are fattening to those of us who fatten easily, not all of us are susceptible [...] if we want to get significant fat out of our fat cells and keep it out, then we have to minimize insulin” [39:30] “If you're overweight, you have to carb restrict. It's not about eating less, it's about lowering insulin levels.” [58:15] Follow Gary Taubes:Website: http://garytaubes.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/garytaubesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GaryTaubesAuthor/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-taubes-942a6459/ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if you’re not sure whether you should take a break or continue to grind it out? When it comes to the subject of self-care, people often have a lot of opinions - some of them make sense, while some of them don’t. In today’s episode of Impact Theory, I’ll be answering these questions (and more) around how to effectively implement self-care in your life. I’ll not only share what I believe to be the ultimate foundational self-care routine, I’ll also go into the reasons why you should be taking care of yourself in the first place, what to do if you have low self-esteem, and more. So whether you’re currently living an easy life or you’re in the middle of the most stressful week of your life, I hope you get value out of this episode and most importantly, I hope you use what you’ve learned to improve your own self-care routine.

While it helps a little bit, it's maybe 5%. The other 95% is actually doing something that you think is worthy of respect, actually doing something that makes you feel that you have worth.” [10:19] “The whole point of life is to optimize for fulfillment and joy. And beating ourselves up, thinking ourselves worthless, do not move us towards that goal.” [11:40] “If you're doing that - working really hard to get exceptional at something that matters, that the world cares about and that you love, and then you contribute in a way that elevates you and other people - that's the game of fulfillment.” [18:26] “If you're doing that - working really hard to get exceptional at something that matters, that the world cares about and that you love, and then you contribute in a way that elevates you and other people - that's the game of fulfillment.” [18:26] “The whole idea is as you lower that stress and anxiety, you get into a calm and creative space where you can problem solve. And so that's the goal - we want to get into a place where we can begin problem solving.” [20:09] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What does it mean to go “into the impossible”?For Professor of Cosmology Dr. Brian Keating, it’s all about shattering the limiting beliefs around what a human being is capable of.In his latest book, Into the Impossible: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Keating explores this question through the lens of the pursuit of one of humanity’s highest achievements: The Nobel Prize.Today’s episode is a wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from the scientific method and first principles thinking, to the motivations that drive people to pursue the highest level of achievement.Find out more by ordering Dr. Keating’s book here: https://amzn.to/3p3AKeT SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:13 | The Power of The Scientific Method11:41 | What is Truth, and Why Does it Matter?18:17 | The Scientific Method: Inductive vs. Deductive29:31 | Brian’s Origin Story39:11 | Losing the Nobel Prize47:47 | What Drove Brian to Aim At a Nobel Prize1:00:46 | Brian’s Quest Takes a Turn For The Worse1:09:53 | Into the Impossible: Behind the Title1:20:01 | Disproportionate Returns & The Curse of Knowledge1:29:48 | The Key to Pursuing Something Grand1:32:59 | Scientific Pursuit, Happiness, & Fulfillment1:50:14 | The Epistemic Approach to Problem-SolvingQUOTES:“Oftentimes, scientists are like kids. Kids are curious, they're inquisitive, they can be charming, they can be mischievous. They can also be jealous, they can be petty, they can not want to play.” [05:26]“Truth is what anchors us to reality. If you and I have different versions of reality - of relative truth - I think chaos ensues from that.” [05:43]“What the scientific method does, is it doesn't say ‘That's right.’ It says, ‘That's not wrong.’” [08:47]“Energy by itself is meaningless. It's almost nothing. But organized energy can do anything. And that's the core principle - that you need organization. Organization implies order.” [14:16]“Passion is like a spark that can ignite the afterburner, but you need the fuel to keep the afterburner going. And curiosity is that fuel.” [38:22]“In science, using the scientific method, there should be a little bit of add on, where you check to see, ‘Am I fooling myself?’” [1:06:32]“Oftentimes people short the human intellect and what we're capable of doing.” [1:12:05]“I don't like this saying, ‘Follow the science.’ Science is supposed to be about questioning authority. And now we're in this land where you have to follow authority. I think almost nothing could be less scientific than saying ‘Oh, because this particular person like Feynman would say something, that I'm not going to question it.’ He has to be wrong, just as Newton was wrong, just as Galileo was wrong.” [1:15:50]“Albert Einstein had imposter syndrome. He said that Isaac Newton did more, not only for physics, but for Western civilization, than any person before or since, even including Einstein himself.” [1:19:45]“This is my meaning of life.

The meteoric rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past years just goes to show that even something as ubiquitous as money is ripe for disruption. And even though crypto is a space that many of us are just beginning to understand, its principles call into question the validity of the existing fiat monetary system. In his latest book, The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization, Dr. Saifedean Ammous sets out to do just that. Using the first principles thinking that he used to write his bestselling book, The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Ammous analyzes the history of fiat currency, the shift away from the gold standard, and the economic, social and political fallout that came as a result.

The more we save, the more capital we have available for investment. The more we invest, the more the productivity goes up, the more our standard of living increases. That's really the process of civilization.” [22:13] “If you're trying to collect zeros next to your house valuation, move to Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Venezuela - go where the hyperinflation is, and you'll have the most valuable house. Obviously, people don't care about how many zeros you attach to their prices of goods. People care about the purchasing power of money.” [36:27] “A lot of parents teach their kids to save, but it's pretty bad advice if you save in the Fiat standard. If you hold on to money you're witnessing it basically lose its value by 5, 10, 15% per year.” [39:22] “Why did Soviet cars suck? Because they were producing the same way that modern research in modern American universities is produced - it's from the top down.” [59:15] “The only reason that [the U.S. government] can get into bonds is because everybody's counting on their ability to inflate their money supply and devalue their people. So the bond market is just… it's evil through and through.” [1:25:58] Follow Dr. Saifedean Ammous:Website: https://saifedean.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/saifedeanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/saifedean/Order The Fiat Standard: https://amzn.to/3DRdLbf Learn more about your ad choices.

Having your mind stretched and bent beyond its normal world view is scary but a treat worth exploring with guest Chuck Palahniuk. Last time he joined Tom to discuss life, death and finding meaning in your life. In this episode, we’re deep diving into how Chuck pursues new ideas, stretches himself beyond the outcomes, and allows the magic of connection to take place through the process of creating stories. Chuck discusses his new essay, People, Places, and Things, and shares the juice of how he’s able to compel such strong reactions from stories that make most people uncomfortable.Check Out Chuck’s Short Stories on Substack: https://chuckpalahniuk.substack.com/ Chuck’s Latest Essay, People, Places and Things: https://try.scribd.com/palahniuk60/ Mentioned in this episode:Suddenly, Last Summer: https://youtu.be/tFVcW2ntimM SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction Chuck Palahniuk1:28 | Shaped Inside Out 4:28 | Mental Breakthroughs 9:46 | Pursuing Creative Ideas17:12 | Validating New Ideas25:04 | Surprising Outcomes29:58 | Mutual Consciousness36:35 | Freedom at Ground Zero40:39 | What Scares You Has Meaning49:16 | Life Influences & Performance1:00:35 | Allow Silence, Look for Patterns1:07:31 | Bathos, Comic Tragedy1:17:19 | Sincere, Not Offensive1:32:01 | Motivated by MeaningQUOTES:“We're drawn to these things that resonate with us, but I would bet that's because of something that's innate within us” [4:15]“You have this idea of what it's going to be to attain this thing, but when you actually attain the thing it's never what you anticipated, which is the glorious part. Because why strive for something, if you kind of already know what that thing is, but when you strive for it, and it surprises you, that's the glorious part.” [26:41]“It's not about my joy. It's about providing that moment for somebody else.” [29:51]“I like the idea of taking things that we have a negative connotation [about], like shame, and if there's some way to harness shame, and spin shame, so that shame becomes productive.” [36:35]“There's such freedom in that zero place where you're not trying to look good and you're not trying to dominate [...] it's like a fresh wake up.” [38:19]“Fear is the thing that validates that you're doing the thing that means something to you. Because if it didn't mean anything to you, you wouldn't feel the fear.” [42:26]“People who are in love with that constant exploration process, are the people who are creative throughout their entire lives well into their 60s 70s 80s, because they're in love with the process, rather than just this single outcome.” [46:25]“That's kind of the blessing of pain is that pain can only go on for so long before it shifts to something else.

In his latest book, Paul Bloom lays out an argument that human beings aren’t exactly wired that way - and that this may actually be a good thing. Human beings will often choose their own suffering (even extreme forms of it) in order to gain everything from control over our environment to visceral pleasure. In today’s conversation, Paul and Tom dive deep into the evolutionary underpinnings of chosen suffering, the biological roots of human morality, the relationship between sex and religion, how to live a meaningful life, and much more!

It includes happiness, which as you point out, can mean different things. It includes pleasure, it includes meaning (whatever that is), it includes morality, maybe it includes beauty, it includes truth. …and a good life is sort of trying to maximize and balance them as best as possible.” [03:50] “What it is to be a good person, for you and me, differs from what it would have been to be a good person 500 years ago, because we know more stuff now.” [08:17] “We're often in our heads, and it's uncomfortable. We're thinking about the future, we're mulling over the past, we're very conscious of our bodies, we're conscious of how we look, we're conscious of this voice in our heads, and sometimes sharp and sudden pain can bring us out of it.” [11:35] “Natural selection did not evolve us to have a good time. It evolved us to survive and reproduce… some degree of buzzing in your head is actually important. Not fun, but important.” [15:35] “Life isn't the kind of thing that has an intrinsic meaning. People can choose activities that are meaningful, because they meet certain criteria - some objective criteria - but [it’s] also subjective. What might be meaningful for you might not be for me, and vice versa.” [37:36] “An old-time shrink would say, “Oh, my God, you got to learn to love yourself.” But... Learn more about your ad choices.

And then the forces of natural selection decline after that” David Sinclair [2:04] “We need to realize that certainly our body can have perturbations, but it doesn't mean you're always going to manifest symptoms of that [...] the body and the mind and the diet and lifestyle are so powerful.” Mike Mutzel [12:35] “Food affects mind, food affects brain with that premise, we can talk about, okay, mine diet will hold off dementia, and intermittent fasting might make you feel like you've had a cup of coffee” Rahul Jundial [15:59] “Aging, to me, is either the quick or slow breakdown of the gut wall.” Steven Gundry [30:31] “When you think about the five pounds of bacteria that live in your gut, it may not be too good an idea to put too much of a preservative into that gut because it will alter the microflora” Alan Goldhamer [40:56] “Our sleep quality is more important than our diet and exercise combined.

If the next 15 minutes isn't self evident to you, you're lost. So whenever you're like, “I'm not sure what the next move is,” it's because you don't have enough clarity.” [19:11] “If you can't solve a novel problem, all you can do is copy. Now you can make a career out of being a fast follower. But the only way to get where you want to go is to be able to solve a novel problem.” [22:41] “The only way to win in life is to be more prepared than everybody else. If you want to win a gold medal in the Olympics, you actually have to be better at that sport than any other human being on planet Earth.” [32:15] “You can learn anything - but you can also hire almost everything. So the only thing that you must get good at is decision making. If you're not good at decision making, you work for somebody else.” [42:21] “I promise you, there is not a single problem in any business anywhere where the right set of questions won't lead you to the right answer.” [55:37] Learn more about your ad choices.

It was reported that roughly 1 in 20 people report having at least one hallucination in a lifetime. Maybe it was drug induced or simply a dream. Either way, how is it that you can have vivid imagery about what feels like reality in the moment? Dr. Jonas Kaplan joins Tom in this conversation to discuss all the ways your brain is filling in the gaps of its own break in knowledge. The brain is truly fascinating to study and so important to understand when you want to be more open-minded and question your beliefs or get a better perception of and understanding of what reality truly is. Part of seeing reality as it really is versus how your brain predicts it to be is coming face to face with information that challenges the beliefs you hold. Jonas and Tom explore research studies that reveal the freaky nature of how our brains really work and ways you can hack your way past the overprotective nature of your brain. Dr. Jonas Kaplan is the Associate Professor of psychology at USC Brain and Creativity Institute, Co-Director of the Dana & David Dornsife Cognitive Neuroimaging Center, and Associate Director for Mindfulness and Neuroimaging for the USC Center for Mindfulness Science SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction Jonas Kaplan0:21 | Brain Illusions vs Reality10:37 | Split Brain Confabulation22:39 | Executive Function Network26:04 | Changing Your Beliefs32:20 | When Identity Is Challenged41:37 | Mindfulness & Self Narrative53:02 | Dissolution of Self1:02:19 | Meaning Making & Stories1:08:27 | Filmmaking & Neuroscience1:13:51 | Hacking Your Brain1:19:39 | Brain Body Malfunction1:22:48 | Homunculus Sensory Map1:28:23 | Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation QUOTES: “The brain builds a model of the world that it has to navigate, right, it builds a simulated picture of what the world is like. That's where beliefs come from.” [2:29] “The brain wants to create a consistent view of the world. And that provides a motivation to find information that's consistent with what we think.” [8:49] “Everything's so interconnected that each region of the brain is not corresponding to one particular mental function for the most part...” [24:30] “Most of us organize our lives in such a way that we never even really have to encounter evidence that challenges our beliefs.” [29:35] “Feelings are the brain signals that there's some kind of a challenge going on to the body.” [33:37] “There is probably some value in maintaining our beliefs, and protecting them to some degree, and also in sharing them with other people and building the connections that we have with other people based on shared models of reality” [38:01] Follow Jonas Kaplan:Website: http://www.jonaskaplan.com/Podcast: https://floatpodcast.libsyn.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonas_kaplan Learn more about your ad choices.

With social media algorithms hacking your attention and focus and everyday life happening at record speeds, you have to become intentional and almost overly protective of your brain.

You may be familiar with the saying work hard, play hard, but how does hard work translate to your work ethic? Work ethic is developed and is something that can be improved upon over time. Strong work ethic not only gets the job done, it pulls a driven person through some of the most difficult situations that would deter the common person from even trying. In this episode, you’re going to hear how some of Hollywood's most successful people have decades long careers with monumental success. If you think their talent was enough, guess again. These actors and actresses work just as hard at their skills and their craft as Michal Jordan or Kobe Bryant before the big game. Their successes speak of themselves.“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” -Tim NotkeHilary Swank (Becoming a Beast Competitor...): https://youtu.be/WgcYsHKFOGcJohn Travolta (True Meaning of Success): https://youtu.be/7GvNO3h-_4MMeagan Good (If You Want Something & Believe...): https://youtu.be/PyAUvtTXgDI Matthew McConaughey (Trick for Getting What You Want): https://youtu.be/WQ5HQ6z9uIkSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Work Ethic1:22 | Hilary Swank: Get Competitive 10:15 | John Travolta: Handle People 22:10 | Meagan Good: Push the Limits 30:38 | Matthew McConaughey: Earn ItQUOTES:“Our biggest competitor is really ourselves [...] overcoming that obstacle of your mind is the number one thing to tackle in pursuing your dreams and your goals.” Hillary Swank [5:59] “That is super important to be competitive with other people, because they're the ones that push us out of our comfort zone that we didn't even know we were living in.” Hillary Swank [8:24]“You have to get rid of the people who don't want to play the same game as you do.” John Travolta [13:51]“When you push yourself beyond what you think is capable, you suddenly realize how capable you are and you're able to just keep pushing and cranking.” Meagan Good [24:53]“I want to be satisfied and thankful with this is good and this is enough, but I don't want to get comfortable in the sense of like, I know that I can access more. I want to access everything that there is for me to get until there's nothing left.” Meagan Good [28:08]“So to actually have true freedom, we have to take certain risks. We have to be responsible, more responsible for certain things for ourselves, who we are constantly investigating and interrogating our better selves, to say I'm going to be a little bit better at this tomorrow.” Matthew McConaughey [42:55] Learn more about your ad choices.

Part of what he proposes is that you keep an open mind and be aware that the ideas and images people are so strongly influenced by are in fact myths and stories. The version of what you see in your reality matters to what you decide to see and live your life by.“It doesn't matter what you look at, it matters what you see.” -Henry David ThoreauSo much of what the world is and who we are is not understood. To think you fully grasp the complexities of consciousness, matter, space and time would be wildly ignorant. Iain perfectly quotes psychologist William James, “ignorance is a sea and knowledge is a drop in that ocean” In this conversation Iain explores ideas of how little we truly know about the cognitive function of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. He highlights the beauty and complexity of order in the universe even where we are unable to fully grasp and understand the order. He’s calling people to be open to the seemingly random chaos and meaninglessness of life to find a better way to live and a better vision of the world we live in. The path of doing so challenges you to embrace the many paradoxical reactions occurring all around us in nature.

It's the how not the what. So they do the ‘what’ of the same things, but they do the how of them completely differently.” [12:47]“The emotional brain is as much the left hemisphere as the right. It specializes in anger, irritability, and doesn't like being crossed.” [28:43]“Neurology and theology are not at war with one another, they are seeing the same realities just at slightly different levels and in different ways.” [35:42]“If you want to know about a human being, the brain is a pretty central place to start.” [39:32]“I would be giving the wrong impression if I said that I know anything about what God is, or I’m a believer in...

If you were born in the digital age of technology where electronic devices and social media started affecting your life directly or indirectly. You easily start feeling like you're not enough, there’s something missing or like you should be doing more than you are.Anna Lembke is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She writes, “humans are the ultimate seekers.” Because of the way we are wired with the flood of hormones and chemicals released physiologically, we are always looking for the next dopamine hit without ever consciously identifying and labeling it. So, if it is in your nature to pursue a reward that is ever elusive, what reward do you decide to focus on? In this episode, Anna and Tom explore why using the love of the pursuit as a drug of choice to get dopamine rewards can be very dangerous. Anna also explains the pleasure pain balance and why too much pleasure and too much positive overload is still a form of stress to watch out for.Order Anna Lembke’s book, Dopamine Nation, Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/152474672X?tag=randohouseinc7986-20 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Anna Lembke1:00 | Pursuit is Rewarding10:12 | Dopamine Insensitivity16:17 | Pleasure Pain Balance26:24 | Dopamine Reset29:21 | Cannabis Use & Potency34:07 | Pornography Addiction39:56 | Truth Telling Reward50:38 | Spirituality in Neurochemistry59:05 | Social Media Connection1:12:16 | To Exert Will or Not1:25:10 | Danger in StrivingQUOTES:“We are hardwired to approach pleasure and avoid pain. And that's really at the heart of our dopamine reward system.” [7:50]“Any deviation from neutrality is actually a form of stress. In fact, biologists define stress as a deviation from neutrality.” [18:33]“The richest countries in the world are the countries that have the most suicide, anxiety, depression, and physical pain.” [24:22]“Because our primitive brains were not wired for an easy, hyper convenient world, we are suffering as a result of all of this access to these feel good things.” [25:10]“If social media is the main place, or the only place where you get validation, and you feel connected, that's really dangerous.” [1:06:55]“Don't do the easy thing to get rid of the pain, far better to suffer and come up with a long term solution” Tom Bilyeu [1:08:45]“The interesting part here is it isn't winning a championship, it's becoming capable of a championship performance.” Tom Bilyeu [1:26:34]Follow Anna Lembke:Website: https://www.annalembke.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Our versions of reality seem to fall in line with the narrative and stories we constantly remind ourselves of, but the truth is, we’ve constructed a reality shaped and influenced by emotions that were never truthful from the beginning. Robert Greene, just released another book, The Daily Laws, and he joins Tom in this episode to share his profound wisdom and understanding of human nature. He beautifully peels back the layers of complexity around how we are able to perceive the world around us and the way in which we fit into our own stories. The main point Robert drives home is the power of detaching yourself from the emotions and egos to take an honest assessment of what you are truly experiencing.

That's sort of the source of our problems and our misery to be honest with in life.” [1:10] “When you're very young you're extremely vulnerable, you're extremely open to the energies of other people in ways we don't understand right now.” [6:38] “So awareness is everything, the ability to look at yourself, realistically, and understand you're saying, see things as they are, see the world as it is. It begins with yourself, seeing yourself as you are.” [11:28] “If we saw completely into ourselves, we would hate ourselves so thoroughly, we wouldn't get out of bed, we would all be killing ourselves, you do need a degree of illusion, you need a degree of self esteem and confidence” [20:14] “We're so attuned to what's cool, to what other people are doing out there, what other people are saying that we lose kind of an intuitive grasp of who we are.” [22:50] “The source of your power in life is your attitude towards the world.” [25:17] “When you take 100% ownership, and you look at your life and say, My life is an exact reflection of choices that I've made.

As people become more aware of the cracks in the current financial system, solutions to the ways through and over those existing barriers become more appealing. Richard Craib is the founder of the crowdsourced quant hedge fund, Numerai, which is using sophisticated machine learning to create models that essentially predict how the stock market moves. During this conversation with Tom, Richard is sharing how crypto is breaking the barriers of the old financial system that was meant to protect people, while effectively keeping everyone out. This is another resource that can be really useful in seeing the bitcoin revolution, blockchain and cryptocurrency in another light, especially through the lens of finance.

And, and that is what crypto changes and the and that's very, very powerful difference” [55:40] “The difference between owning something forever, and being this kind of like sort of like slave to a system is a very different mindset.” [56:16] “That's an incredible thing to change, to feel like your relationship with your physical world is somehow fragile, but then the relationship with the digital world is actually fixed and permanent and doesn't need police. And so that's a very powerful thing to be aware of.” [57:49] “If you can think from first principles, you really can do something original.

The response to such life altering events has varied drastically from person to person and country to country. Some people found opportunities where none existed before, while others sat in disbelief not sure how to move forward or what to do. Dave Hollis has gone through his own sudden changes over the last couple of years, not related to the pandemic, and they’ve been the kind of changes that challenge your identity and the core of who you say you are and who you think of yourself to be. On the other side of these unexpected life events, he’s emerged with an experience to share about what standing in fear looked like while turning what was utterly terrifying into an exhilarating experience worth sharing. Dave shares his journey of losing everything to find everything else he was capable of creating and more once he learned how to construct a new identity, a purpose, and fulfillment through courage. He reminds us in his latest book, Built Through Courage, “the antidote to fear is a plan.” Do you have a plan in place to help you deal with the unexpected changes life is throwing your way?   “It is not until we've lost everything that we can do anything” -Tyler Durden (Fight Club)   Order Dave Hollis new book, Built Through Courage: https://www.amazon.com/Built-Through-Courage-Fears-Meant/dp/B09129JGT6   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Dave Hollis 1:38 | Unexpected Life Changes 8:18 | Adjusting to New Reality 16:33 | Who You Want To Be 23:34 | Inner Voice Guidance 32:32 | Fulfillment and Purpose 34:56 | Leaving the Known 38:28 | Built Through Courage 45:38 | Stuck in Your Story 50:29 | Toxic Positivity 56:34 | Tested to New Depths 1:02:51 | Becoming Is A Decision   QUOTES:   “There is no control. There's only the way that we respond to the circumstances that life presents” [3:22]   “The place I had to start, to be honest, was really getting intimate with my fear. Because most of why my imagination had been lost was because there was so much fear around trying to figure out something that I'd never contemplated.” [6:50]   “I got to at least build the sail, I gotta put it up so that when the wind starts to come, I'm actually prepared to move forward.” [11:36]   “You think good things are going to come out of this, you will become something because of the post traumatic growth that can come out of the hardest thing that you've ever experienced.” [22:02]   “We're willing to stay inside of suffering that we know, rather than facing the possibility of something new, because the knowns of that existing suffering feel predictable [...] The challenge in pushing away though, is that that safe harbor is surrounded on all sides by fear.” [39:58]   “People get stuck because they let the circumstances of what's happening in real time, cast a probability future, a likely to happen next future, that is clouded by the subjectivity of what they're currently experiencing.” [49:30]   “The way that I feel about my faith is fundamentally different because of having to have my faith tested.

Does eating a high calorie meal affect you worse than a lower calorie, higher carb meal? Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary biologist, did a research study on a hunter gatherer community called Hazda in Tanzania, to learn about energy expenditure. What he’s discovered flips everything you thought you knew about calories and carbs upside down. He’s joining Tom to expose why the data shows that carbs in a calorie controlled environment do not matter. Meaning, it is possible to theoretically go on a Twinkie diet (please don’t) and still lose weight when calories are adhered to. Herman is using data to push back on how calories are burned and how they signal your brain to control your weight.   Order Herman Pontzer’s book, Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy : https://www.amazon.com/Burn-Research-Really-Calories-Healthy/dp/0525541527   Also check out the Hazda Fund (https://www.hadzafund.org/about) to learn more about the Hazda culture   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction to Herman Pontzer 1:40 | The Calorie Debate 6:14 | How We Burn Energy 12:09 | Obesity Starts In The Brain 14:43 | Hypothalamus Function 19:25 | Brain Response to Calories 29:06 | Food Calorie Signaling 32:36 | Optimal Lifestyle 34:53 | Processed Food Brain Hack 38:31 | Why Sugar Is A Problem 42:22 | Hi Carb Diet Weight Loss 45:24 | Fantasy Diet Study   QUOTES:   “The problem is that when we begin to say, oh, that must have been something in the food that you ate, rather than, oh, it's something in your individual response to that extra energy.” [21:33]   “It really does come down to the calories or what determines the weight change or maintenance, not the carb level.” [24:13]   “The argument is, is this more in the weeds? Is it fat cells and pancreas? Or is it brain cells and sensing?” [32:29]   “It is my job to keep eyes open and look across cultures and look across human experiences and see that diversity and understand all of it is pretty normal. That the universe of normal for humans is pretty darn broad.” [33:11]   “Sugar is a fructose molecule and a glucose molecule stuck together, and when it gets into your blood, that's what it is.” [38:38]   Follow Herman Pontzer: Website: https://sites.duke.edu/pontzerlab/people/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hermanpontzer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hpontzer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herman.pontzer Learn more about your ad choices.

What do athletes have that entrepreneurs and anyone looking to reach max potential can learn from? It’s their work ethic. Hardcore, unrelenting, straight up grind-this-sh*t-out work ethic that shows up and does the work Every. Single. Day. Recent numbers report approximately 8% of the American population are millionaires. What’s stopping the masses from achieving wealth and success on their own terms? You could say politics, social issues and a lot of other things, but the reality is those reasons are not stopping everyone. Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.” In this episode, these high level athletes share tips to help you develop a champion mindset. We know how important the work is to do, but consistency is key, and the process includes doing the right things everyday no matter what.   “What you create, creates you” Anthony Trucks, Former NFL Athlete   Tips to help you develop your champion mindset: 1. Do the right things every day, consistency is key. 2. Dream the big goal and believe you’re capable of achieving it. 3. The way you make others feel around you is important. 4. Do the hard things with intention to be prepared. 5. Push through the pain in pursuit of your goals. 6. Be average with extraordinary dreams and desire 7. Always outwork the competition. 8. Help people in their journey to fuel your own journey. 9. Sometimes you have to tap into your dark side. 10.

Having a complete understanding of the financial system we’ve become accustomed to since birth is not only advantageous, but it’s an absolute must.  The gap between really understanding the impact and full gravity of inflation and living by a feeling or a suspicion is too wide to ignore. Nic Carter is an entrepreneur, investor, columnist and advisor in the Bitcoin crypto space. He’s joining Tom today to break down some principle ideas and thoughts to help you at least research what you should be doing with your money, your government issued and government backed money. What’s happening with crypto and NFTs isn’t something you can ignore or sleep through. Bitcoin has been going strong for more than a decade. You have a moral obligation to yourself and to your family to at least understand how inflation works, why increasing assets is like theft of your dollar’s value and how you can protect yourself and be part of the wealth redistribution in a way that benefits you more than harms you.   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction to Nic Carter 1:31 | Does Bitcoin Matter? 4:21 | What is Money? 8:52 | Creating Devalued Money 14:43 | Redistribution & Inflation of Assets 22:24 | Reacting to Inflation 27:54 | Japan’s Stagflation 36:57 | Energy, Euphoria & Bitcoin 40:47 | Fiat Money Explained 45:10 | Do Research Money 49:16 | Bitcoin Value Vs Fiat Value 54:13 | Bitcoin, Digital Gold 57:52 | Value System by Design   QUOTES:   “Devaluing the monetary medium that we store our work and labor in is always redistributive. So it's effectively a way to reapportion societal resources from some group to another group.” [9:59]   “there's a wealth effect whereby people feel richer, and then they spend more like if the value of your 401k goes a lot, goes up a lot, you're probably willing to buy that nice new car, if the value of your house goes up a lot” [16:23]   “There's nothing that guarantees that public equity investors in the US are going to earn 7% every year for the rest of all time.” [31:38]   “As an entrepreneur in the crypto space, and someone who allocates capital, my best hope is to sort of create the tools and the systems that regular folks can use to potentially escape a ruinous Fiat system.” [40:15]   “The government cultivates an environment in which the dollar has value. They have certain tools to do that, one is tax policy...” [42:09]   “The first thing is just not not accepting uncritically the narratives coming out of sort of our monetary elites in this country.” [49:06]   Follow Nic Carter: Website: https://niccarter.info/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/nic__carter Learn more about your ad choices.

Justworks: justworks.com If you've been following the cryptocurrency and NFT conversation with us recently, you’ll appreciate this incredible conversation with Robert Breedlove, a freedom maximalist and bitcoin-focused entrepreneur. If you haven’t been following along, jump in now. This episode is less NFT and crypto wallet focused and more educational in that Robert breaks down inflation like very few can. Understanding something at its foundational level allows you to really think from first principles, which empowers you to make better decisions. Cryptocurrency is built on technology and Bitcoin has been performing like no other asset in history, but why and how is this possible? You may need to watch this a few times, and may be even better with pen and paper to take notes. This is a crash course and deep dive on money, inflation, what property is, and why assets matter.   Robert shares 5 properties of money:   1. Divisibility 2. Durability 3. Recognizability 4. Portability 5. Scarcity   Resources mentioned in this episode:   WTF Happened in 1971: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ Masters and Slaves of Money: https://breedlove22.medium.com/masters-and-slaves-of-money-255ecc93404f Dishonest Money: https://www.amazon.com/Dishonest-Money-Financing-Road-Ruin-ebook/dp/B004P1J0PQ Sovereign Individual: https://www.amazon.com/Sovereign-Individual-Mastering-Transition-Information/dp/0684832720 Thank God for Money: https://www.amazon.com/Thank-God-Bitcoin-Corruption-Redemption/dp/1641991216   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Robert Breedlove 0:34 | Inflation and Fiat Explained 6:17 | Defining Money & Property 10:47 | Compromised Property Value 16:05 | Wealth Redistribution of Assets 23:59 | What is Money 26:16 | The 5 Properties of Money 33:51 | Central Banking Corrupt Power 40:13 | Counterfeit Inflation 48:32 | Life, Liberty and Property 56:48 | Bitcoin Absolute Scarcity 1:07:21 | Government Disruption 1:13:50 | Declining Power of Government 1:23:20 | Implication of Bitcoin 1:30:47 | Purchasing Power of Bitcoin 1:40:43 | Sovereign Individual Insights 1:48:30 | Decentralized NFTs & Crypto 1:51:03 | Thank God for Bitcoin     QUOTES:   “Money is also a psycho technology. It's like literacy or numeracy. It's a software implementation we put into our brain, we use it to communicate, negotiate [and] plan.” [6:42]   “We typically think property is the house, the car, the stock, whatever. That's not what property is, properties and relationships. It's an exclusively acknowledged relationship between the owner and the asset”   “It contradicts the premise of self ownership, when we give power away to a single institution” [10:26]   “I like to say central banking, and the fiat currency complex is as clear as mud and...

Sleep is not only an essential function that allows us to recharge mentally and physically, it’s also deemed so important that going without sleep was banned by Guinness World Records. The record for going without sleep was officially given to Randy Gardner who managed to survive 11 days without sleep in 1964 while giving himself a form of dementia. Obviously this is not the path to take for increasing productivity and optimizing your quality of life, but many of us are short changing our sleep every night and have been doing so for years. Sleep is something that should be protected and guarded at all costs if you want to execute consistently at a high level and optimize for higher output and results. Here are Tom’s 10 tips to help you prioritize your sleep even if you’re burning the candle at both ends, there is no excuse and no way around prioritizing your sleep hygiene.   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction to Sleep Routine 0:42 | Get Sun Exposure 1:53 | Move Your Body 2:38 | Stop Eating Crap 7:12 | Reduce Artificial Light 12:39 | Separate Your Blankets 14:45 | Keep The Bedroom Cool 16:07 | Tape Your Mouth Shut 17:55 | Fall Back Asleep 21:16 | Never Set an Alarm 22:33 | Bonus Tip   QUOTES:   “The second you wake up, get out, go outside and get that sun exposure” [1:26]   “For the last hour before bed, I'm doing fun things and doing things that give me energy that makes me feel light that are part of that passion that feel good.” [8:56]   “I only have one job now that I'm going to bed and that job is to sleep.” [9:38]   “Make sure that you don't have an alarm staring you in the face and that you get whatever amount of sleep you need.” [22:02]   “Recognizing that you can shift your state and get into that much more pleasant place is really powerful.

When you sit back allow yourself to really dream, often the dream you have is beautiful but it’s also big, a little scary, and intimidating. Big dreams and big goals feel nearly impossible. It’s hard to fathom how you’re supposed to get from where you are in this moment to this far away goal that’s hard to conceptualize. James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons covering 7,030 miles with 0.24% of those miles completed indoors due to inclement weather. He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one.   James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal. He’s opening up about what his post-recovery has become and the challenges he’s overcoming for that as well.   Order the Iron Cowboy’s book, Redefining Impossible: https://amzn.to/3k4XhFQ Check out James’ 1st Interview with Tom, Push Past Pain: https://youtu.be/cgU7abzvSQk   SHOW NOTES:   1:02 | Why Do the Hard Things 7:10 | 100% Physical & 100% Mental 13:56 | Goals Change Perspective 20:08 | Confront Your Weakness 24:59 | 101 Iron-Distance Triathlons 42:10 | Set Your Own Standards 52:57 | Why Do 1 More Than 100 58:37 | Post-Recovery Stage   QUOTES:   “Doing hard things with intent is preparation for the unknown.” [2:18]   “Motion creates emotion, and you have to experience something and feel it in order to have an experience or knowledge with it.” [4:00]   “Mastering that continual conversation and beatdown that we have with ourselves is one of the most important pieces to that puzzle.” [9:42]   “Why people fail is because they rush straight to that big goal and they miss out on everything in between, which is the most important part.” [14:48]   “You need to meet yourself where you're at, on your journey. And over time, your perception perspective will change about what's possible for you.” [18:20]   “You wouldn't do something if you knew how damn hard it was going to be, and you wouldn't do something if you had all the answers, and you don't start as the expert.” [34:34]   “What you say you're going to do is the expectation, and if you deviate from that, it gives them permission to then attack you.” [43:23]   “We don't know what tomorrow is gonna bring, and if you quit now you're never going to find out and that would be the most tragic thing you do on your journey…” [49:46]   Follow James Lawrence: Website: https://www.ironcowboy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IronCowboyJames Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IronCowboy/ Instagram:...

When you think of someone being courageous, it’s easy to think of police, fire fighters, and military. Maybe the person that risked their life to help a total stranger in a time of need comes to mind as being courageous. But courage manifests in many ways than not just the physical acts that we default to. Ryan Holiday joins Tom to discuss his new book, Courage Is Calling. He explains how courage is ongoing.It’s about the moments and opportunities that are presented where you choose to act in courage, or you show up reckless without regard, or you choose the cowardly thing in that moment. Ryan unpacks having courage, acting in courage, and where it falls in the spectrum between being reckless and being a coward. Even the term coward seems harsh when you realize you may be guilty of acting cowardly at different points in your life. You’ve chosen to “save face” and look after your personal safety and benefit at some point, and it’s okay, we all have. Ryan further explains through his personal experiences that doing the courageous thing is not always self-evident, and that these moments will present themselves. This is a great jumping off point to exercise your courage muscle, do the heroic things and start living to a higher standard today.   Order Ryan Holiday’s new book, Courage Is Calling: https://amzn.to/3i0XRmD   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Ryan Holiday 0:21 | Why Live by Virtues 7:57 | Intuitive Nature of Courage 13:08 | Put Yourself Out There 19:28 | Inspired Cynical Ideas 28:51 | Integrate Truth & Courage 35:18 | Responsibility to Past Lessons 41:29 | Middle of Reckless and Coward 48:02 | Is It Reckless Or Cowardice? 1:00:52 | Failing to be Courageous 1:08:11 | Not Acting Courageous 1:15:59 | Get More Courageous 1:21:34 | Courageous is Contagious 1:31:17 | Ryan’s Heroes & Standards   QUOTES:   “That's kind of the idea of virtues, is to create sort of a structure that you can live in, that guides you so you're not again winging it on these critical decisions.” [7:03]   “There is no deed in this life so impossible that you cannot do it, your whole life should be lived as a heroic deed.” Leo Tolstoy read by Tom [12:21]   “History is not just a parade of shitty people and crimes and awfulness and hypocrites, that we are making progress and things are getting better and it's getting better because people were courageously committed to ideas and ideals, and risked themselves and their reputations to try to make those things more real.” [22:45]   “You don't get to stick your head in the sand and deny that facts are facts, but you have to decide what facts are you going to take and integrate into your understanding of the world, and what your imperative as an individual is.” [31:28]   “What do you do with the little moments that life offers you? Do you make the brave choice Or the cowardly choice?” [34:32]   “If the fight doesn't need to happen, it's not courageous to start it [....] deciding what battles need to be fought, what risks need to be taken, how risk can be taken off the table if it's not necessary.

The problem is that you, and nearly every other person around, defaults to being at the mercy of the people, the environments, and unfortunate situations that mark the course of life. Mel Robbins is the personification of motivation on steroids packed with a high potency of raw truth. You could say she’s joining Tom to discuss her newest book, The High 5 Habit, but it’s more fitting to say she’s back to give you the kick in the ass you’ve been waiting for. Mel is not only talking about why high fiving yourself is powerful, she’s reminding you that you have a responsibility to heal yourself and do the work. While you’re chasing your dreams, understand that what the world sees as failure may just be a massive success in the timeline of your life, as has been the case for Mel Robbins.   Order Mel’s new book, The High 5 Habit: https://www.amazon.com/High-Habit-Take-Control-Simple-ebook/dp/B096JQSWQ6   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 Introduction Mel Robbins 1:42 | A-Ha Moments In Life 7:20 | Why High 5 Yourself 19:54 | Feel Worth Celebrating 25:15 | R.A.S.

Jealousy is sort of the insecurity that you have that blocks this inspiration” [35:55]   “Most people aren't obsessed with their goals, because they don't believe they're worthy of them.” [40:36]   “If you don't, at some point, be defiant, against what the world or your caregivers or your past experience has pounded into your brain incorrectly, unfairly, you will forever be stuck with that story.” [41:16]   “You can have nothing, and you can still have your own back. You can have tremendous problems and very real obstacles that you're facing, and you can have a mindset that says, through my efforts, my attitude, I can have an impact on the situation that I'm in.” [45:09]   Follow Mel Robbins: Website: https://melrobbins.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/melrobbins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ YouTube: Learn more about your ad choices.

People have been obsessing and hearing about dopamine and its role in human behavior for years. You may think of it as the feel-good happy hormone, or you may associate it with addiction, love, lust and sex. As our lives convert over to a totally digital experience that is with us everywhere we are in the form of a cell phone, dopamine detox has even started gaining in popularity. Dr. Andrew Huberman from the Huberman Lab is back again to unpack some of the more surprising discoveries and uses of dopamine. He cleverly relates dopamine to being a biological currency that has a role to play in human desire for more. Dopamine is the catalyst pushing humanity forward exploring things like cryptocurrency and pushing our limitations and what is possible, but is all of that for the sake of pleasure and feeling good? Dr. Huberman breaks down the eternal balance of pain and pleasure, arousal and relaxation and gives you the insight you need to start regulating your body’s dopamine release. If you thought dopamine was all about feeling good, Dr. Huberman is about to reveal why it’s more about what motivates you in the pursuit of something greater.   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Dr. Andrew Huberman 0:56 | Dopamine the Biological Currency 6:51 | Releasing Dopamine 10:38 | Hormonal Signaling 14:34 | Can We Spike Dopamine? 21:00 | Value the Pursuit & the Dips 25:40 | Balance of Pain and Pleasure 31:23 | Self Regulation of Dopamine 38:28 | Dopamine and Time Perception 44:31 | Dopamine and Overindulging 49:05 | Action Based Denial 52:42 | Using Rules & Dopamine 58:27 | Ways to Get Motivated   QUOTES:   “When I say dopamine is the universal currency of everything, what I mean is, it's driving the motivation to develop new currencies.” [3:08]   “Celebrating the win more than the pursuit, it actually sets you up for failure in the future.” [16:00]   “If you can start to register that craving, and that friction and that desire, that almost kind of low level of agitation, sometimes high level of agitation [...] that's dopamine...” [17:54]   “Your capacity to tap into dopamine as a motivator, not just seeking dopamine rewards, that is infinite.” [19:34]   “It's the craving that makes me feel alive. So it's the state of wanting that is in and of itself, the pleasurable act.” [22:37]   “It doesn't matter if it's Bitcoin or aetherium, it doesn't matter if it's putting rockets on other planets, it doesn't matter if it's building the first automobile, it's the same currency.” [25:27]   “Dopamine itself is not the reward. It's the build up to the reward, and the reward has more of a kind of opioid bliss like property,” [29:51]   “The more pain you experience, the more dopamine you can achieve. If you get back on the avenue of pursuit.” [30:58]   “I would say addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure, and I don't like to comment too much on enlightenment, [...] but a good life is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure, and even better is a good life is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure and includes pleasure through motivation and hard work. “ [32:55]   “If you think about most of the growth in life comes from these rigidly externally imposed schedules and we hate them. But they are where we learn restraint” [52:42]     Follow Andrew Huberman: Website: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Both scenarios are worthwhile, as Tom is joined by the world renowned evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins. Trying to fully grasp how the human mind works and what role evolution plays with our emotions, thought processes and sexual selection can be overwhelming. Tom highlights the inspiring works from Richard and discusses some complex ideas from his latest book, Books Do Furnish A Life. This is a deep dive into what evolution is, and raises the question of whether or not science, technology, and the human search for meaning and exploration has surpassed our basic evolutionary need for survival. Where does that leave humanity and what options are potential solutions worth exploring?   Order Richard Dawkins new book, Books Do Furnish A Life: https://amzn.to/39fEeSU   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Richard Dawkins 1:34 | How The Mind Works 7:28 | Nature of Thought & Emotion 14:01 | Emergent Properties Beyond Survival 21:13 | Lack Of Evolving Creativity 29:30 | The Great Leap Forward 30:46 | Evolution of Sexual Selection 41:25 | The Handicap Principle 45:17 | Human Sexual Selection 57:13 | Genetic Variance 1:04:07 | Finding Origin of Life 1:10:55 | Natural Selection & DNA 1:27:29 | Writing Sci-Fi & Morality 1:37:58 | Hard Problem of Consciousness 1:41:32 | Memes + Hyper Connectivity   QUOTES:   “What I tried to do in my writing career is to emphasize the rational, thoughtful side of the brain, and to not deny the existence of the emotional, but to try to foster the control of the emotions by reason.” [6:48]   “What the human mind achieves today, in the form of science in particular, technology, is utterly bewildering when you think about it in an evolutionary context. It is so far beyond what we're ever naturally selected to do.”   “The origin of life on this planet is not a highly implausible event, it’s not a very rare event...” [1:09:49]   “The idea that every particle in the universe has a minute mote of consciousness seems to me to be complete rubbish.” [1:39:17]   “It's got to be a manifestation of great complexity of interacting units. No, one of which is conscious in itself, but when you put them together, consciousness emerges from the interactions among them.” [1:40:47]   “Cultural evolution is a real phenomenon, it really looks like evolution, it really has the same progressive qualities as evolution does.” [1:42:39]   “I introduced the idea of the meme as a virus of the mind. Something that goes viral is this successful meme.” [1:45:56]   Follow Richard Dawkins: Website: https://richarddawkins.net/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rdfrs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsFoundation/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richard_dawkins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/richarddawkinsdotnet   Learn more about your ad choices.

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are two Evolutionary Biologists that give you the facts, discoveries and observations as they see it. Tom reads a direct quote from their latest book that says, “We are headed for collapse. Civilization is becoming incoherent around us.” Bret and Heather break down fundamental ideas behind what humans have learned from evolution for thousands of years, how corrupt the science community has become, and how to parent your children with the goal of mitigating risks while they are younger. These biologists are incredibly fascinating with novel ideas of what adaptation would look like for humans if we are careful and intentional.   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction to Bret & Heather 0:30 | Headed for a Collapse 3:02 | Learning From Evolution 6:43 | How Are Humans Fish? 13:18 | Solving Novel Problems 18:37 | Redefining Language & Jargon 27:03 | Defining What Science Is 34:14 | Corrupted Science Incentives 39:50 | Break Down Of Society 44:04 | Evolutionary Toolkit 48:27 | Recover from Helicopter Parents 55:34 | Prepare Children for Risks 1:04:41 | Rite of Passage 1:07:05 | The Fourth Frontier 1:15:22 | Steady State Craftsmanship 1:20:59 | Value of Liberty   QUOTES:   “Some things about what we are, are very difficult to change, some things are actually trivial, easily changed, and knowing which is which is a matter of sorting out where the information is housed.” Bret Weinstein [6:24]   “If you use your intuitive, honed instincts, in order to sort through novel problems, you will constantly up and yourself because those instincts aren't built with those problems in mind.” Bret Weinstein [13:23]   “Let's figure out how to use language that we can all agree on and understand and know, for the purposes of communication, as opposed to for the purposes of displaying group membership.” Heather Heying [23:31]   “Teaching undergraduates means exposing yourself and the thinking that you are presenting to naive minds who will throw curveballs at you, and some of those curveballs are going to be nuisances, and maybe they'll waste your time, but some of them are likely to reveal to you the frailty in your own thinking or in the thinking of the field.” Heather Heying [26:05]   “Being courageous about actually acknowledging what you don't know, often leads to the best conversations” Bret Weinstein [26:52]   “We need science where things are sufficiently difficult to observe or counterintuitive.” Bret Weinstein [29:53]   “wherever perception is the mediator of success, you have deception as an important evolutionary force” Bret Weinstein [32:19]   “back away from that which is novel, and untested, and in the direction of that, which is time tested. And it will result in a decrease in anxiety and increase in your control over your own life.” Bret Weinstein [50:49]   “Our brains are anti fragile, and our bones are anti fragile, and they become stronger with stressors.” Heather Heying [1:01:00]   “The very thing that made us so successful as a species is now setting us up for disaster.” Bret Weinstein [1:25]   “Some things about what we are, are very difficult to change, some things are actually trivial, easily changed, and knowing which is which is a matter of...

Good news, chances are it never will. Bad news, chances are it’s not going away and if you’ve been avoiding this conversation, it needs to end today. Cryptocurrency is the fastest growing technology we’ve ever witnessed in human history. 10 years ago people doubted it, laughed at it, and blew it off. Today, countries like Nigeria, Vietnam and the Philippines are starting to adopt crypto. What is often rejected and feared is typically not understood. While billionaires and master investors once turned their backs to Bitcoin and the crypto world, they are slowly coming around and see the potential of what this currency and technology really is. Anthony Pompliano joins Tom to put you on notice and help you better understand exactly why low income and middle class people literally cannot afford to continue dismissing the potential for building wealth with cryptocurrency. Blockchain is happening and there is a major shift in wealth and purchasing power taking place. You owe it to yourself and to your future generations to at least do some more research, investigate and find out how you can better leverage the potential that a new digital world represents for you. The cost of entry is low, it’s decentralized, and for the first time you are not restricted by your income to take advantage.   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Anthony Pompliano 0:50 | Disadvantage of Non-Investors 7:27 | Understanding Personal Finance 13:18 | Cryptocurrency and Fiat Money 20:44 | Bitcoin’s Volatility Advantages 25:36 | Breadcrumbs for Going Digital 30:50 | Increasing Purchasing Power 35:22 | Censored Payment Systems 46:15 | Benefit of Open Payment System 56:23 | Decentralized Tech Structure 1:03:00 | Predicting vs. Observing Market 1:09:45 | Digital Versions of Analog (NFTs) 1:20:05 | Blockchain Is Happening 1:31:13 | The Monetary Revolution 1:38:55 | Bitcoin Global Reserve Currency 1:47:04 | Why Pomp Choices Bitcoin   QUOTES:   “Poor people spend the middle class, save, and then the wealthy invest.” Tom Bilyeu [0:24]   “There’s really one key rule that everyone has to understand, which is, the dollars will be worth less than purchasing power terms over a long period of time.” [3:43]   “It's easy to mock and make fun of these young people. But these young people are interested in understanding how does the market works.” [8:03]   “It is impossible, literally impossible in America to get a financial security position by saving” [10:21]   “I can either suffer at the hands of this system, or I can flip around to the other side table, and I can benefit from the system. Every single rich person understands how to benefit from the system, hold assets, not a currency” [18:46]   “All money, at the end of the day, is a unit of time.” [31:28]   “Bitcoin, specifically, it has a financial component that is unavailable and other assets, it is systematically built to continue to protect your purchasing power” [33:02]   “The more that you can be a market observer, rather than a market predictor, you start to just understand, crazy stuff happens.” [1:07:03]   “The digital version of something is always bigger than the analog version” [1:10:19]   “Everything you think is cool is going to go to zero, and everything that you think is dumb is going to moon.” Tom Bilyeu [1:19:36]   Follow Anthony Pompliano: Website: Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. William Li is an internal medicine doctor from the Harvard Medical School Faculty that studies angiogenesis, and is the author of the best-selling book, Eat To Beat Disease. Dr. Li is breaking down the 5 natural body defenses protecting you at all times, even right now, and exactly how powerful foods are that can prevent disease in your body.

But that is very problematic” [2:40]   “Health is not just the absence of disease, it is the result of our body's own hardwired defense systems, health defense systems that we’re born with.” [3:09]   “Organic coffee has more bioactives than the pesticide treated coffee because the insects, the natural things in the environment cause it to create more natural health defenses.” [39:36]   “Eating to beat disease is not just picking a particular disease and trying to figure out what the recipe is that the one size fits all.

Though success is something many people strive for, it has also been the byproduct of escape for many. Facing yourself in the mirror, the story you tell about yourself, and the heartache and trauma you’ve experienced can take the back seat in pursuit of greatness. Maybe enough success will make it all hurt less. Bobby Hall, AKA Logic, hasn’t had an easy start in life. Coming from an abusive family, exposed to too much at a young age has a role in how he arrived at throwing himself into his art and being one of the greatest rappers in hip hop. Bobby breaks down his journey, why he wrote his memoir and where he is now ending the career of Logic that he’s spent over a decade building.   Bobby’s Bio: As an author, Logic released the novel Supermarket (2019), which was accompanied by a soundtrack of the same name. The book became a New York Times Best Seller, but both works received generally mixed to negative critical reception. Logic is also a streamer, and signed exclusively with Twitch, becoming the first musician to do so.   Order Bobby Hall’s memoir, This Bright Future: https://amzn.to/3kQtPmf   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Bobby Hall “Logic” 2:12 | Escaping Family Trauma 6:21 | Defining Who Is Bobby Hall 9:43 | Piecing Together the Narrative 15:29 | It’s Never Good Enough 20:56 | Build Your Own Family 25:32 | How It All Started 32:09 | Coping With Anxiety 37:14 | Adaptable Is Unstoppable 44:14 | Ignoring Negative Voices 47:53 | Success Without Bitterness 57:07 | Finding Total Confidence 1:00:55 | Advice for Creative Artists 1:08:18 | The End of Logic   QUOTES:   “The goals I had, as a young man and a musician and a creative person, were bullshit.” [16:54]   “There's always going to be something in our lives, there's always going to be something that isn't right. But we can't let it stop us from doing what we love.” [35:40]   “So many people have underlining things that they deal with personally, that nobody else would know [...] you got to live with it, adaptation. It's one of our greatest features. [39:46]   “When I look at other people, when they tell me their dreams, and their ambitions, and all this, I see this child inside of them that is pure and excited, and I root for that person.” [43:21]   “Being happy with the person I see in the mirror. has allowed me to not let that bitterness grow” [54:47]   “It took me being physically the strongest I'd ever been, the biggest I'd ever been in my life, to realize that all of that had nothing to do with strength, and that I had been strong my whole life. And I didn't need some outward physique to show me that or prove that to anybody else.” [56:32]   “Looking in the mirror now older, I've realized, everyone's full of shit. Nobody knows what they're talking about. I don't know shit. Why am I worried about this?” [58:22]   “Taking away the words of people and the thoughts that have been implanted in my head by people about myself is probably the most freeing thing I've been working on.” [59:28]   “I soaked up every piece of information that I could, so that I could be better at what I wanted to do, and if you are not prepared to wake up every day, to kind of like, fuck your life up, you know, turn down dates and hanging out with friends and all these things.

As respected as he is in macroeconomics, Raoul joins Tom for this conversation to broadcast the opportunity available for massive wealth transfer, and to break down exactly why the crypto revolution is happening and why it’s worth being excited about. If you’ve been avoiding the conversation or are excited and can’t get enough, this conversation holds massive value for everyone.   Books mentioned in this episode: George Soros, The Alchemy of Finance Ben Horowitz, The Hard Thing About Hard Things Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel William Strauss and Neil Howe, The Fourth Turning   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Raoul Pal 0:58 | Who Is Raoul Pal? 5:19 | The Problems Crypto Solves 8:42 | Speed of Technology 12:31 | Equal Opportunity for Wealth 15:20 | Tom’s Crypto Story 19:38 | From Money to Crypto 25:35 | Ethereum Usability & Bitcoin 35:08 | Raoul Being Open Minded 41:02 | Dollar Cost Averaging 48:23 | Don’t Use Leverage 53:10 | Riding the Volatility of Crypto 1:01:50 | Percentage Allocation of Wealth 1:08:09 | Opportunity for Anyone 1:12:47 | Accredited Investor Scam 1:15:57 | Tokenization and NFTs 1:23:54 | Real Value of Communities 1:39:38 | Calling B.S. on Howey Test   QUOTES:   “Crypto as it started building out as an ecosystem, [...] is now the fastest adoption of any technology in all recorded human history.” [7:42]   “If you know that something is being adopted at this speed, and it's a network of money at its core, and you combined infinitesimal fraction of it, so everybody can buy 10% of their net worth, then everybody who takes this opportunity will probably have the biggest opportunity in history to make money.” [10:11]   “I'm screaming from the rooftops saying, you might be cynical, you might think you don't understand it. You might think you can't afford to play in this. But you have to listen, because this is the opportunity.” [14:31]   “Suddenly, NFT's come and community tokens, and your mind is completely blown that this is not just money. It's the entire exchange, transfer and storage of value for the internet. Whole business models are about to change massively, because of what this technology unlocks.” [18:50]   “Generational poverty is a mindset knowledge problem far more than it's a money problem, because they managed to pass on a likelihood of being poor.” Tom Bilyeu [25:46]   “I want people to understand that this is a game and I don't mean that in any sort of derogatory way, but it has rules. And if you understand those rules, there's always an opportunity, especially in moments of disruption.” Tom Bilyeu [27:21]   “Don't over force the narrative. Just be broad, be open and always be learning because we don't know. This is all new, and it's happening at lightning speed.” [34:31]   “You have to know that we don't know the outcome, and anybody who tells you that they know what's going to happen is just a fraud.” [37:00]   “Be paranoid, excessively paranoid, but still...

When it comes to mindset, controlling your emotions, feeling pain and responding to thoughts both positive and negative, all of these things are within your control, yet most of us spend life as if we were never granted permission to control our own minds. In this episode, four powerhouse forces join together and break down how to upgrade your mindset and gain control over your mind, your thoughts, your behaviors and ultimately your success. Dr. Joe Dispenza, Sadhguru, Jay Shetty, and Tom Bilyeu are lighting the path to show you exactly what you can do today to take over your thoughts and upgrade your mindset and change your life.   Saddhguru’s Full Episode on Impact Theory: https://youtu.be/Gw1I7fqmxmA Jay Shetty’s Full Episode on Impact Theory: https://youtu.be/v1BwF7XkkuM Dr Joe Dispenza’s Full Episode on Impact Theory: https://youtu.be/La9oLLoI5Rc   SHOW NOTES:   0:00 | Introduction Upgrade Your Mindset 0:54 | Control Your Thoughts 4:34 | Change Your Habits 8:05 | Identity & Value Matters 12:00 | Training Your Brain 17:17 | Inspiration Isn’t Enough 19:34 | Control Your Emotions 27:53 | Control Your Negative Voice 35:11 | Get In Tune With Senses 39:49 | Focus On The Pursuit   QUOTES:   “The habit is when you've done something so many times, that your body now knows how to do it better than your mind.” Joe Dispenza [7:09]   “Unleashing human potential, it is not about reaching the peak. It is a trajectory. Because what our life is, is a combination of a certain amount of time and energy.” Sadhguru [13:34]   “My thoughts, my emotions, my energy and my body or my instruments of function. They are not impediments in my life.” Sadhguru [16:01]   “You have to come to realize where you have been blind. Now often those moments, where we realize we’ve been blind are emotionally devastating.” Tom Bilyeu  [18:23]   “I’m going to let that rock hit me in the head because at my feet now is actually a nugget of gold, and I’m going to pick up that nugget of gold and form the lesson that the person is throwing at me.” Tom Bilyeu [21:16]   “The hardest part about change is not making the same choices you did the day before, period. And the moment you decide to make a different choice, get ready because it’s going to feel uncomfortable.” Dr. Joe Dispenza [25:48]   “Pain is a good thing physically because that is your self preservation mechanism. But suffering is something that you do in your mind.” Sadhguru [27:56]   “Because you’re more likely to believe something negative, don’t worry about what’s true. Worry about what empowers you.” [42:08]   “Life is actually embracing polarities. It’s actually about doing a dance, and knowing which way to go at the right time.”  [43:29]   Follow Sadhguru: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en Follow Jay Shetty: https://jayshetty.me/ Follow Dr Joe Dispenza: https://drjoedispenza.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

From the time you open your eyes, your brain is kicking in and most likely living in overdrive. The unfortunate truth is most likely you’re not even aware of all the ways your brain is under attack. Social media is being consumed at an unhealthy rate in both your personal and business life. Even if you have a generally healthy diet, processed foods and chemicals that damage the brain are still sneaking into your body’s system. Is there any wonder why anxiety, stress, and depression, trauma and PTSD are now considered to be the norm? Dr. Daniel Amen is a psychiatrist, brain scan expert and third time guest. In this episode, he’s unleashing the truth about the emotional dragons you are likely dealing with. He gets into some of the most common dragons attacking your emotional brain today, anxious, wounded and inferior to name a few.

Speaking other languages expands your ability to communicate so greatly it adds to the perceived value people will assign to you. But, when you are fluent in Street, Hustling, Broke Money, and Wall Street it becomes the twist no one ever expected. Wallstreet Trapper comes from a troubled past that includes being homeless at 14 and serving 10 years in prison by the age of 16. What he has learned over the years reaches far beyond knowing how to trade stocks and build wealth. His super power is speaking Wall Street in a language that correlates to the same losing game he played on the streets that ended with being shot, in jail or in prison for nearly everyone he knew. His wisdom and willingness to share and make an impact is affecting future generations and bringing Wall Street to the hood, proving that human potential is truly nearly limitless when you put knowledge to use.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Violent Beginnings and Prison 8:46 | Finding Out It’s All A Game 14:16 | Real Gangsters Are in Wall Street 18:11 | Break Down Generational Poverty 25:15 | Good Business vs. Good Hustler 28:29 | Know How The Game Works 33:46 | Unapplied Knowledge 36:36 | Bringing Wall Street to the Streets 40:44 | Key To Wealth Is Ownership 46:21 | Power of Knowledge Applied 51:43 | If Investing Isn’t Possible   QUOTES: “Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money. They make the money work for them. And they give as much value to people as they can.” [11:45]   “The reason why people think wealthy people are people with money or sinister, is because that's what you kind of taught in the hood.” [17:09]   “Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.” [17:53]   “Generational poverty is not about money. It's about mindset.” Tom Bilyeu [18:32]   “People can not want you to succeed all they want, but if you out invest them, they can't stop you.” Tom Bilyeu [19:31]   “One of the things that happens often in the culture of black people is survival mode, you never get a chance to play offense. You're always on defense, one, because of mindset” [22:27]   “A good business is just like a good hustler. A good business has great product. They have great clientele. A great hustler has a great product, he has consistent clientele.” [25:35]   “Once you start understanding the fundamentals, you give yourself power, because you now understand, like you said, you see how the machine works,” [30:22]   “Everybody around me had the same problem. No one represented the solution. So if I don't change something, I'm only going to end up like everybody else.” [32:23]   “I got knowledge, I got information, but I still fell victim to the same shit that everybody around me knew. So therefore, the knowledge that I had wasn't powerful because it wasn't applied.” [34:32]   “It's hard for people to make sacrifice, because you got to now go against and do without some of the things that gives you that momentary gratification.” [37:11]   “The key to building wealth is not how much you can work.

What captured your attention and made you dream and get excited when you were younger and had no cares or limitations on what was possible or not? Are those things still captivating you now or have you lost sight of them? When you consider what you are now passionate about and excited to accomplish, is there a relation between then and now? This conversation with Ben Greenfield dives into the notion of being pulled toward natural talent and abilities from childhood and Ben’s inclination to allow those things to clue you in on a purpose worth pursuing. Tom shares the reason he’s leaned into the notion of being able to develop skills even in the absence of natural talent. The ideas Ben and Tom explore take you from childhood to reimaging what heaven and the afterlife could possibly be and everything in between.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction 0:47 | Pulled Toward Natural Abilities 12:34 | Discovering Purpose with Talent 17:18 | Creating Purpose without Talent 24:49 | Rite of Passage for Ben’s Sons 50:08 | What Dissolving the Ego Means 54:52 | Don’t Have to be the Hero 1:01:08 | Responding to Human Touch 1:10:35 | Your Food’s Energy Matters 1:15:12 | Physical and Spiritual Connection 1:20:04 | What the Afterlife Could Be 1:27:48 | Defining a Perfect World   QUOTES: “The key part of the rite of passage is being alone, facing your fears, finding yourself in a space where you must dissolve your ego and understand that there are forces of nature that are more powerful than you.” [31:52]   “Don't try to fix people as much as just try to love people.” [1:01:03]   “The spiritual energy that you get from eating real, whole food derived from nature, as close to nature as possible, there's a certain sacredness in that [...] not just physical, but also a spiritual energy...” [1:12:07]   “As creatures on this planet, we can't disconnect ourselves from the life force of every other creature on this planet.” [1:15:14]   Follow Ben Greenfield: Website: https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/bengreenfieldfitness Twitter: https://twitter.com/bengreenfield Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bengreenfieldfitness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BGFitness/ Podcast: https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.

As much of a warrior he has become over the years as a 9th degree red belt, he is also kind, spiritual, and connected in mind and body. His story represents what is achievable when you control your mind, your body, and your spirit. He shares the importance of the breath and what it takes to be uncomfortable, seek out discomfort and learn to master and control yourself in that discomfort.

The tools are connection, base, deflection,  strategy, emotional control, the capacity for you to use visualization, and other elements.” [5:44]   “So just being prepared, just being talented is not enough. Just being able to focus and be strategically correct is not enough. I have to have the spirituality to say today is a great day to be in a battle.” [9:04]   “I was accepting death in order to be comfortable in hell.” [9:28]   “I noticed my worst enemy at this point was my own mind, playing tricks on me. It tells me I don't have enough, tells me I was tired, tells me that I’m [gonna lose]. So my mind was completely against my purpose.” [14:24]   “I cannot be just a jiu jitsu teacher, I had to be a psychologist. Because I have to approach a guy who stands insecure in a different way, than approach a guy who's just lazy and completely off.” [36:08]   “The real learning of your breathing system is to learn how to maximize your hyperventilation, to cope with the activities you plan to do.” [39:17]   “If you try to hide the emotions from yourself, and try to show everybody you're okay, you're just making a patch which is not working. So I have to feel weak and completely vulnerable.” [41:29]   “Today my day is based on what I can do best to make my best day today.” [44:41]   “What was my biggest lost becomes my biggest sign of how I should do to have a happy life” [45:54]   “Nobody could make me what I am if I was not focused and passionate about it.” [47:42]   “I was seeking for things that were giving me chills and emotions and I love to play with nature, because nature is unbreakable, nature is stronger.” [52:22]   “That sparring session can be very positive for some warriors, but can be jeopardizing a lot of guys were not designed to fight” [58:29]   Follow Rickson Gracie: Website: Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether you follow a keto diet, paleo, vegan, or carnivore, the goal for everyone is pretty similar. Get healthy and optimize productivity and energy. Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is back for round two and breaking down everything you need to know about why your biomarkers matter. Dr. D’Agostino reveals the truth behind whether or not carnivore or plant based diets are best for you, how to optimize your biomarkers with fasting, and what you need to know about what role exogenous ketones can play in your optimal health regimen. You’ll want to pay close attention to understand why Covid can potentially become an ongoing problem for young healthy adults and how inflammation is impacting everything.   Don’t miss Dr. D’Agostino’s first episode on Health Theory: https://youtu.be/hu1mF8_QGJE   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction Dominic D’Agostino 2:10 | Metabolic Health and Covid 5:13 | Metabolic Biomarkers to Track 7:01 | Inflammation Biomarkers 12:01 | Why Fasting Boosts Immune System 14:14 | Benefits of Exogenous Ketones 18:48 | Ketone Biomarker For Burning Fat 23:20 | Hacking Biomarkers With Ketones 32:37 | Healthy vs. Unhealthy Immune Response 38:44 | Healthy People Post Covid Problems 41:28 | Optimize Metabolic Health Now 47:32 | Simplifying Diet, Carbs, Ketones 51:49 | 72 Hour Fasting Benefits   QUOTES: “Having optimal metabolic health in terms of low insulin, low glycemic variability, low glucose overall, and optimizing your cardio metabolic biomarkers is the way to combat this disease.” [3:15]   “In the context of many pathogens, whether it be viral, whether it be bacterial, or if you are dealing with an inflammatory issue, fasting, and a ketogenic diet, which mimics many aspects of fasting can be very beneficial.” [10:42]   “We are omnivores, right. So we are basically hardwired and evolved to eat to be extremely adaptable in what we are eating.” [42:52]   “If you're on a very limited amount of calories, and you want to get as much nutrition as possible, with the least amount of calories, a carnivore diet is the perfect approach.” [45:18]   “What may even be more important than having a diversity of fiber is actually having fermented foods. [They] contribute to the population, can reverse gut dysbiosis and increase the diversity of the gut microbiome” [47:06]   “You can thrive off a carbohydrate based diet but your glycemic variability will correlate to food cravings. So, if you want to go throughout your day and have optimal productivity and feel optimal energy, I found [...] that a low carb approach is the way to go. ” [48:27]   “There are benefits to being in a hyper ketone anemic state, so the ketones then act as an alternative energy source, anti-inflammatory molecule and a hormone which has many beneficial effects.” [49:47]   Follow Dominic D’Agostino: Website: https://ketonutrition.org/about/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVNHZUXqn1sFvgppi5Zpmg/videos Twitter: https://twitter.com/DominicDAgosti2 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keto.nutrition/?hl=en Facebook: Learn more about your ad choices.

Going through different stages of life and relationships is never easy. It’s easy to break down, fall apart or become numb and completely lose yourself along the way. Lisa Bilyeu has experience with navigating change and transitioning from a traditional supportive housewife to being the badass CEO and Co-founder of Impact Theory she now is. In this episode, Lisa and Tom reflect and share the lessons they’ve stumbled through along the way over the last 19 years of marriage to support Lisa’s awakening. Join them as they deep dive into how to get beyond the surface level arguments, discover the value of your frame of reference, and what it truly means to evolve together to be supportive. The trip is bumpy, a little messy, not as graceful as you may imagine or believe, but the way they are honest and committed to each other makes it successful and worthwhile every time.   Check Out Relationship Theory for solid relationship advice at every stage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtHuUTWVRHUXVjmRrvS8WYg   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction Lisa Bilyeu 2:36 | Why Love Isn’t Enough 3:24 | The Gap Between Love & Divorce 4:43 | Change Impacting Relationships 6:03 | Not Understanding Each Other 7:16 | Surface Level Arguments 10:15 | Find the Frame of Reference 16:46 | Preparing for Disruptive Changes 22:04 | Self Soothing Through Change 23:06 | Embracing Change Together 30:42 | Evolving Plans Call for Change 31:58 | When Personality Changes 39:02 | Making The Transitions Work 42:02 | Pivot from CEO To Cuddly Wife 45:23 | What You Need vs. Want 48:35 | Power In Being Needed 52:18 | Why You Have To Communicate 57:18 | Emphasis of Feelings 1:01:28 | Own Your Triggers & Insecurities   QUOTES: “The problem with emotions, they make things seem self evidently correct.” Tom Bilyeu [6:40]   “If someone who loves you, and that you love are going that head to head, you don't perceive the situation the same. Therefore, the entire argument should stop instantly, and you should simply say, where's the misperception?” Tom Bilyeu [10:26]   “If you want someone to be there when you're weak, you have to be honest about where you're weak.” Lisa Bilyeu [18:02]   “So the goal was for me to change my life to break out of the mundane.” Lisa Bilyeu [19:35]   “I had to be very aware, and really respectful to the fact that my change is going to impact you.” Lisa Bilyeu [24:16]   “We had the goal, we had the strategy, and in that strategy, I got lost, I lost myself.” Lisa Bilyeu [31:30]   “So as you're going through that transition, the thing for me to fall back on was, I'm in this forever. So now I'm only looking for ways to make it work. I'm not looking for the exit ramp.” Tom Bilyeu [39:02]   “I want you to become whoever you want to become in order to be proud, and I want you to feel that you've become as powerful as you want to become.” Tom Bilyeu [40:31]   “As your business partner, I owe it to you to not be weak, and I owe it to you to stand my ground if I believe in something and you owe it to me to stand your ground.” Lisa Bilyeu [42:23]   “I would never be able to stay with a wife who didn't know how to make me feel powerful… it feels so good… If you're with a man that doesn't know how to make you feel beautiful, you're missing a trick.” Tom Bilyeu [45:23]   “Understand the difference between need and want.

There are so many technological advances with AI, space travel, NFTs, and a rapidly changing culture with social media, it’s near impossible to just turn ‘off’. Let’s admit it, FOMO is real and it keeps a lot of people connected when they’re not even sure why they’re connected. When was the last time you unplugged and took on a challenge you weren’t sure you’d complete? How long has it been since you’ve sat with yourself in total silence or allowed yourself to just be bored out of your mind? Author and journalist, Michael Easter, joins me today to discuss his journey and share the lessons and insights he’s gained from spending a month in the Arctic surviving. Hunting his own food, carrying heavy loads, and sitting with absolute boredom are just part of his story. As you listen to his story, it is my hope you will consider ways you step out of your comfort zone. There is something very freeing about being able to shake things up and break your routines and habits to improve the quality of your life in unconventional ways. This episode is about facing discomfort and finding new ways to challenge yourself for the better.   Order Michael Easter’s new book, The Comfort Crisis - https://amzn.to/3ihebjB   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Michael Easter 1:05 | The Comfort Crisis Explained 3:02 | Journey to the Arctic 5:03 | Recovering from Alcohol 7:40 | Outside the Comfort Zone 8:55 | Helicopter Parenting Losing Challenges 12:16 | Touching Controversial Topics 14:53 | Challenges Surviving the Arctic 20:11 | Problem Creep 28:05 | Need for Rite of Passage 35:12 | Metaphorical Lions for Passage 41:19 | Comfort Creep & Habits 44:22 | Breaking Routine to be Present 47:45 | Discomfort and Boredom 50:00 | Benefits of Boredom 57:12 | Daily Routine 1:02:11 | Rucking & Human Design 1:14:05 | Killing His 1st Caribou 1:17:16 | Life Cycle & Mortality 1:27:16 | “This Too Shall Pass” 1:30:31 | Want to Live Forever? 1:39:12 | Assigning Meaning to Life 1:42:20 | Rites of Passage Transformation 1:46:12 | Problem Creep Comparison 1:50:34 | Finding Gratitude   QUOTES: “By never putting yourself in a position where you are uncomfortable, whether that is physically or mentally or with, what you think to be true? You're not gonna, you're not gonna learn anything about yourself.” [7:41]   “As humans face fewer and fewer problems in our lives, we don't actually experience fewer problems. We just redefine what a problem is.” [22:50]   “If we never put ourselves in the position of true challenge, then we don't really learn something about ourselves” [40:26]   “The idea of trying to do new things, learn new things that totally shake up a routine. It's interesting, because now all of a sudden, I can't predict the future, and I've got to learn some new stuff, and this is forcing you into presence and focus,” [45:18]   “When you're bored, your brain actually goes inward, starts to sort of ruminate it, you sort of have these different thoughts that are more inward focus” [50:21]   “We don't realize how freaking amazing daily life is. It is unbelievable all this shit that we take for granted in our life every single day. We become unsatisfied with it, we look for the problems.” [1:50:36]   “If you look for the things that are joyful, and good and wonderful, then you're gonna see that and that frame of reference will color how you approach change.” [1:53:36]   Follow Michael Easter: Website: Learn more about your ad choices.

Your body handles long nights, limited sleep, and poor diets much easier. The problem is those choices have a cumulative effect. What you eat, how often you eat also impacts the health of your brain. There is a Chinese proverb that says, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now.” It is easy to disregard neurodegenerative diseases as something for older people, but understanding how leaky brain and neurodegeneration begins to happen is better learned now, than waiting till later if you plan to age gracefully.

Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn’s story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction 1:22 | Glenn Stearns’ Story 5:21 | What Is The American Dream? 6:55 | The Pathway To Make It 9:36 | How Glenn Created His Path 11:24 | Be Fearless Asking Questions 14:53 | Focusing On The Lessons 17:20 | Surrounded by Smarter People 20:29 | Cancer Shifts Glenn’s Focus 22:45 | Starting Undercover Billionaire 31:15 | Developing Grit 32:57 | Hardship of Business Lessons 34:45 | Running Against the Crowd 38:12 | Opportunities In Adversity 42:26 | Leading With Vulnerability 45:35 | Making Quick Business Pivots 47:36 | How to be Unreasonable   QUOTES: “It's in the middle of my deepest fog. I had my clearest, you know, kind of aha moment of, I don't want to do this anymore.” [4:46]   “Happiness to me is not about money, it's about the satisfaction that you are doing something larger with your life and feeling very confident in the fact that you are leaving a mark in the world.” [5:39]   “It may be hard [...] but there is a path if you really surround yourself with the right people” [8:07]   “I found that these older, successful people, they want to give back, they want to tell their story, but a lot of people when they're young, think they don't want to talk to me. [...] and it couldn’t be farther from the truth, if you just ask,” [10:47]   “What you gotta do is be good at being you. You don't have to be somebody else. And your transparency or your authenticity, it will reveal itself.” [13:09]   “As life went on, I realized what I thought was horrible became wonderful.” [15:36]   “Life is not easy. When you do get into a hole, it's not about laying there and feeling like the victim. It's about getting up and pulling yourself up out of the hole and figuring it out.” [23:38]   “The ones that are successful, [...] they fight through the pain, they stay later, they work through it, they sacrifice, and then they feel proud because it works.” [29:55]   “I don't like to lead with success.

Regardless of where you live, societies are feeling the threat against certain freedoms and are fighting back. Humans innately don’t want to be oppressed or censored by larger, more powerful and dominant groups. But exactly how do you define your freedom? Is your freedom tied to your “rights'' or is your freedom independent of that? Sebastian Junger, best selling author, Afghanistan war correspondent and more has authored a new book, Freedom, that will leave you shocked, perplexed and challenged in many ways. In this conversation, he and Tom take a deep dive into freedom, what it means for different societies, how smaller groups are able to give larger groups and armies hell, and are willing to risk their lives for their freedom. Sebastian also shares his 400 mile experience walking through America with a group of friends and reflects on different feelings of freedom. His more recent near death experience will shock you and give you yet another perspective of freedom worth fighting for Order Sebastian Junger’s new book, Freedom: https://amzn.to/3rr8tP1 SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction 1:06 | What is Freedom? 2:49 | Defend Your Freedom 6:04 | Balancing Opposing Sides 8:12 | Root of the Word Freedom 10:51 | 10,000 miles for Defense 15:40 | Society Safe in Numbers 20:19 | Value of Physical Strength 25:12 | Small Fighter Advantage 31:14 | Culture of Honor 41:07 | Agriculture Control 48:04 | Autonomy vs Comfort 53:12 | Social Primate PTSD 58:31 | Importance of Physical Contact 1:03:45 | A Weird 400 Mile Trip 1:06:39 | Seeking Out Challenges 1:08:54 | Freedom Along Gender Lines 1:17:00 | Lessons Raising Girls 1:21:31 | Near Death Experience 1:27:32 | Giving Meaning to Death 1:29:04 | Discussing His Next Book 1:32:34 | Relationship to Fear   QUOTES: “it means that you are not unfairly controlled by a greater power. That you’re self defining, within the limits, of course of the laws that bind all of us.” [1:25]   “That's the eternal human sort of balancing act is to defend themselves but then not wind up being oppressed by their own leaders.” [4:43]   “It's very clear that armed aggression is very adaptive, that it helps the aggressive group survive and thrive.” [8:49]   “The idea of freedom really only refers to the people within your own community.” [9:25]   “Going into a foreign country to defend oneself, puts the military in the whole society on more precarious moral grounds.” [12:29]   “first thing you need to do in order to feel safe is to be part of a group that has a kind of common agreement to defend itself against any threat” [16:17]   “The really interesting thing about humans is that a smaller fighter, or a smaller group, is capable of defeating a larger fighter or a larger group that size and strength are not the ultimate predictor of victory in combat.” [23:21]   “The small guy in the ring does not have to win, they just have to keep not losing long enough for this for the larger entity to run out of resources.” [26:12]   “We have an instinct for autonomy, we also have an instinct for, you know, not being uncomfortable and being safe and and having our ease” [49:30]   “In an affluent society, individuals need others less to survive.

Whatever that pain looks like for you, I believe we must lean into the pain every day.” [18:36]   “It's not enough to do the work in the past. It's a continual process in the present.

Feedback has been a huge indicator of my success.” [43:55]   “Just because someone's giving you feedback doesn't mean it's true about you. So, don't take it personally.

Since starting Healthy Theory, I have interviewed over 90 specialists and experts about everything from brain cognition, to gut microbiome, to reverse aging. Information is meant to be put into action, so today I am sharing with you what my daily routine consists of at the moment. Goals are important and should always be considered when choosing what is best for you.

Falling victim and feeling helpless is not about being weak or strong, but it is about self-awareness and making a mental shift to see what is possible. Stepping back and asking yourself, what is in your control and deciding how you want to respond is critical. Viktor Frankl says in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Danny Trejo, an actor and  Hollywood Icon, joins me today to discuss a few of the stories from his new memoir, Trejo. Hearing these stories should remind you that it never matters where you are or how you start in life, it only matters how you decide to respond. Yes it’s hard, yes all excuses and reasons you have to not try and give up are valid, but ultimately the choice is yours to make. Danny’s story is beyond inspiring when you see someone come from a mindset and situation that consumes and devours over 90% of the people engulfed in that life. Which really means, anything is possible and your potential is nearly limitless.   Order Danny Trejo’s new book, Trejo: https://bit.ly/trejolifebook   SHOW NOTES: Boxing Champ | Danny shares his time in San Quentin Prison and being a boxing champ [1:12] No Love | Danny explains growing up with no love in the home born into the Trejo gang [2:28] Danny’s Mentor | Learning life skills from a mentor that was criminal in same situation [3:09] Prison Life | Danny on surviving prison and being tough because of his uncle [5:56] Rehabilitated | Danny’s gratitude for a troubled past and why he’s as grateful as he is now [9:14] Confessions | Danny on why his book is so raw and not sugar coated, it’s the real Trejo [10:19] Redemption | Danny on taking inventory and questioning his behaviors and his mottos [12:38] Taking Out Trash | Why Danny began taking out trash for old neighbors, new reputation [13:56] Service to Others | Danny on why helping others is so important to the way he lives [17:15] Arguments | Danny on the bottomline of arguing, not engaging and the toxicity of it [22:13] Legacy | Danny reveals the love is his family and the legacy that holds value for him [25:51]   QUOTES: “I got a couple of scars from what I wasn't quick enough to duck. But you know what, it really showed me that I didn't want to get hit.” [2:04]   “I've realized about prison, it's easy to be a big fish in a little pond” [6:00]   “There's only two kinds of people in prison, there's predator, and there's prey, and you have to figure I'm gonna be a predator, or you'll be prey.” [6:31]   “Remember that you’re only sick as your secrets” [13:36]     Follow Danny Trejo: Website: https://dannytrejo.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/officialDannyT Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialdannytrejo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialdannytrejo/?hl=en     Learn more about your ad choices.

You want to see the main character go through their perilous journey and come out on the other side victorious after the big battle or challenge that was seemingly impossible. When that story is real life, it causes you to pause and take inventory of your own story. What situation are you facing, how is your current situation in comparison to the underdog you just cheered for? Sometimes those questions can really sting, especially if you feel like or can see proof that you are not living up to your full potential. Wallo267, is an incredible entrepreneur, marketer, and self-made millionaire that joins me to discuss how his no BS mentality took him from a life of crime to a life filled with meaning, purpose, and unmistakable success.

In those moments, your willingness to survive, fight back, and come out on the other side unscathed is critical. But, when the odds are stacked against you in the form of corruption that leads to being wrongly convicted and railroaded into a life sentence in prison, it takes an immense amount of resilience and fortitude to strategically plan a way through a broken unjust system. Isaac Wright, Jr. has experienced this first hand after 7 years imprisoned and 9 additional years under investigation after passing the New Jersey State Bar exam. Isaac speaks to patience, calculated moves, and what it takes to turn anger and bitterness into usable skills that have a real impact.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Isaac Wright 1:33 | Self Representation And No Believers 3:52 | Having a Voice Most Important 5:07 | Surrounded by Corruption 6:38 | Sentenced but Setting The Next Move 10:45 | Creating New Case Law From Jail 15:44 | Moving Through System As 2 People 18:30 | Managing Emotions In Midst Of Chaos 23:36 | Isaac Defending Self In 3rd Person 29:45 | Running For Mayor of NYC 33:33 | Making Complex Problems Small 44:23 | Breaking Injustice With Minute Details   QUOTES: “Because at that point, I was going to be a slave to somebody else's strategy, somebody else's thought process, and someone else's motives” [2:30]   “The level of corruption that had engulfed me as a young man alone, the book was written before the indictment came down, and that was really my reality.” [5:39]   “My strategy shifted to making sure that when I went to prison, they wasn't going to be able to keep me. And so everything I did was not for the day, everything that I did was for years down the line.” [10:16]   “The more I know about them, and the less they know about me, the better off I am” [13:20]   “One of the things about injustice, if you fight injustice with justice, you wreak havoc upon injustice, it's like water and oil, it's never going to mix” [16:55]   “As a six-year-old kid, I understood the importance of fighting back no matter how much danger you're in.” [21:59]   “I needed to separate myself from what I was going through in order to stay focused and it took me some time, but I literally became a different person. I was representing myself as someone else.” [24:48]   “I always take a granular approach to the things that I'm experiencing in life.” [34:22]   Guest Bio: Isaac Wright Jr. (born January 23, 1962) is an American lawyer in the state of New Jersey. He is a candidate for mayor of New York City in the 2021 New York City mayoral election. Wright was convicted in 1991 after a five-week trial by a 12-person jury of 10 charges involving the sale of cocaine and sentenced to life in prison, but his conviction was overturned in 1997 after litigation brought by him and his lawyer, on the basis that police concealed evidence.   Follow Isaac Wright Jr: Website: https://hunthamlinridley.com/attorneys/isaac-wright-jr/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaacwrightjr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isaacwrightjr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isaacwrightjr/ Twitter: Learn more about your ad choices.

From the way you decide on political issues to the way you tune out dissenting views, and decide against conversations with certain people every choice is backed by some belief in what you consider to be right. Michael Shermer, who I dubbed, the King Skeptic, joins me and discusses why free speech matters most when people don't want to hear it, and the power behind social signaling that helps shed light on some of the breakdowns being seen on a global scale. Michael’s ability to think through strong opposing arguments searching for truth and charitable interpretation and tolerance for others is foundational.   Order Michael Shermer’s book, Giving The Devil His Due: https://amzn.to/2TWVvfq   QUOTES: “much of decision making about truth is made under uncertainty.” [14:31]   “if you want to speak out, because you don't believe this ideology, and you see your neighbor, you know, hauled off and you never see him again, it's like, ‘I'm keeping my mouth shut.’” [33:02]   “if the only answer could be I'm 100% behind it. Or else, I'm not gonna say anything. Well, that's not good for society.”   “so social media is basically taking this natural human propensity to talk about other people. And marrying it to the negativity bias where we notice negative things more than positive things.” [50:26]   “losses hurt twice as much as gains feel good.” [50:46]   “try to separate what I want to be true from what is actually true.” [1:04:01]   “ it's good to remember on commercial television, there's commercials. And so the content is basically whatever it takes to get people to get from one commercial to the next with that clicking away.” [1:07:25]   “if you're going to write a law, you should write it in a way that you don't know which group you're going to be in,” [1:20:03]   “put yourself in the position of you're the lone voice. And do you or do you not want to be heard? Of course, people want to be heard. So free speech is for those with whom we disagree.” [1:34:29]   Follow Michael Shermer: Website: https://michaelshermer.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelshermer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Michael.Brant.Shermer Podcast: https://www.skeptic.com/michael-shermer-show/ Learn more about your ad choices.

When you think of cultural beliefs, how often have you found yourself questioning where these beliefs stem from? My guest today explores the notion of cultural lies that are at the root of our suffering as a society and as individuals. Clinical psychologist, Dr. Shefali shares some of her most profound insights from her latest book, A Radical Awakening. Witness her working through some ideas with me in real time around the culture being the villain versus owning your internal life and consciousness.

There's no stop button.” [11:32]   “It's a constant craving, constant insecurity. The fact that we can, doesn't mean we necessarily should.” [16:13]   “when we women succumb to cultural standards based on what culture imposes on us, and we defy our own natural bodies, and we go and mutate our own natural bodies to become that cultural standard, now, we are falling into the patriarchy, and actually genuflecting, actually serving the patriarchy by falling prey to it.” [20:06]   “We are constantly seeking to make everything fit this paradigm of beautiful. And actually that makes us more insecure.” [22:30]   “At the end of the day, self acceptance is your greatest sword. That is what is going to make you the most desirable to yourself and to others. Do not fall for standards of beauty.” [24:00]   “The fact that we have to fight it says that there's something to fight, and there's a system in place that we constantly have to buffer ourselves against “ [34:47]   “It is our inner that is represented on the outside on a global scale” [40:26]   “The scourge of humanity and mental illness is our deep void, our insecurity which is causing us to want to go to Mars and colonize it and go to every corner of the earth and dominate, similarly with our partners. Dominate their every part, every thought, every desire, it comes because we are not whole from within.” [53:40]   Follow Dr. Shefali: Website: Learn more about your ad choices.

The chaos that can get unleashed on your body from your diet is so important to understand. Having low energy and brain fog is not only frustrating but it feels debilitating as well. I've had my own recent experience with low energy that had me questioning if I had lost my drive. Starting with my diet and realizing pecans were causing my energy to feel so low was shocking for me. Dr. Steven Gundry's latest book, The Energy Paradox, reveals what's taking place on a cellular level that was affecting the body's energy. He joins me to unpack how significant gut health is to your immune system and brain. We get into the chaos leaky gut causes and how you can make better choices to restore your energy. Even if you have a healthy diet, Dr. Gundry, a cardiothoracic surgeon, will surprise you.   Order Dr. Gundry’s new book, The Energy Paradox: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063005735?tag=imprintweb-20   QUOTES: “believe it or not in the American diet 24 hours a day, we're causing leaky gut we're assaulting our immune system, [...] just from fat, we are just a giant ball of inflammation.” [18:54]   “So if we look at energy production, as literally cars moving down through a freeway, it's no wonder that even though we're eating huge amounts of calories, we have no energy because we literally log jam the mitochondria.” [38:29]   “You've got to eat for your gut microbiome first, and you have to choose foods that they want to eat. And if you do that, they will take care of you.” [40:09]   “We die, we get diseases, by breaks in the wall of our gut that start this process” [41:05]   “If you begin to gradually restrict the time you eat down to about six to eight hours a day, you will develop much better functioning mitochondria, you'll actually have a better gut wall because you're not working on digestion. 24 hours a day. And you're gonna protect your brain.” [41:57]   Guest Bio: Dr. Steven Gundry is an American doctor and author. He is a former cardiac surgeon and currently runs his own clinic, investigating the impact of diet on health. Gundry conducted cardiac surgery research in the 1990s and was a pioneer in infant heart transplant surgery, and is a New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain. He is best known for his disputed claims that lectins, a type of plant protein found in numerous foods, cause inflammation resulting in many modern diseases.   Follow Steven Gundry: Website:https://gundrymd.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4ODXZL2r3XepieV0uoRjNA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GundryMD/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gundrymd/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrGundry Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxo0nTZjzlKJq5-vJq6s6g   Learn more about your ad choices.

When you think of empathy you may think of being overpowered with feelings and emotions for someone close to you that is having a response to something. Possibly you lump sympathy in the same basket with empathy and toss kindness in for good measure.

As technology advances, biologists such as the Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation, Aubrey de Grey, is leading the way to pioneering tech that will allow you to choose how long you want to live. For years scientists have been trying to find a way to slow down the aging process, but Aubrey introduces the idea of repairing the damage that aging does on the body to theoretically restore the body’s biological age to maybe 30 years younger. If you are familiar with the obsession I’ve had with living forever, you already know how much this excites me.   SHOW NOTES: Quality of Life | Aubrey on why a long life depends on the quality and being invested in choice [0:58] Reverse Aging | Why damage repair could be easier than slowing aging & the push back met [4:40] Indefinite Life | Aubrey on why the result of expected life for reversed aging could be indefinite [8:08] Structure Repair | Landing on the idea of repairing structure to restore cellular level function [9:32] Pushback | Aubrey on pushback among scientists about reverse aging in biology [11:17] Body Damage | Aubrey on self-inflicted damage being reversed to same level 30 years prior [14:13] Longevity Escape Velocity | Aubrey on his theory how to reverse biological age 30 years [16:26] Types of Damage | 7 categories of damage that correspond to therapeutic methods of repair [21:18] Stem Cell Therapy | Aubrey explains how stem cells could treat loss of cell problems [22:17] Cancer Treatments | Aubrey gives category of damage due to too many cells [23:26] Senescent Cells | Aubrey explains how these cells can promote cancer [26:53] Mitochondrial Mutations | Aubrey explains problems at the molecular level inside cells [28:53] Cellular Waste | Aubrey breaks down how cellular waste over years impacts old age [33:35] Macular Degeneration | Aubrey explains specific enzymes that could prevent blindness  [35:24] Excretion | Aubrey explains diseases that could be resolved by breaking down waste [37:50] Alzheimer’s | Breaking down amyloid as extracellular waste and modest benefit [39:22] Advancing Therapies | Aubrey gives sobering guess how close effective therapies are [44:07]     QUOTES: “I want to make sure that my choice about how long to live, and, of course, how high quality that life will be, is not progressively taken away from me by aging.” [2:24]   “Old age is something that evolution doesn't care about at all.

At the heart of the matter, diet consciousness is a question of overall health and better managing and preventing diseases and conditions that hinder your performance and destroy your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

The U.S. started as a capitalist society and has evolved into a mix of capitalism and socialism. As society and technology evolves, how should our economic system evolve in response? In this episode, Sir Ronald Cohen, “the father of British venture capital” speaks with Tom about the importance of social impact and what impact investing is evolving into and how it can change the social world for the better. Creating systems that support entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and social responsibility of big companies is just the tip of a massive iceberg. Listen in to see how this all ties into our natural desire to evolve and strive for more than just money.   Order Sir Ronald Cohen’s new book, Impact (all proceeds donated to impact charities): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Impact-Reshaping-capitalism-drive-change/dp/1529108055/   SHOW NOTES: Impact Investing | Sir Ronald explains what’s reshaping a new economic system [1:57] Coming to Britain | Sir Ronald reveals how he moved from Egypt and ended in Britain [4:48] Venture Capital | An overview of how venture capitalism came to be and what it is [7:23] Social Impact | Getting an accurate view of a company’s impact not just profits [9:41] Deciding | Sir Ronald gives tips on what to look for evaluating a company’s impact [12:47] Redistributed Wealth | Why redistributed wealth is needed, but it’s not enough [15:30] Poverty Problem | Sir Ronald discusses what’s been missing from solution [18:20] 1800 Companies | The $3 trillion environmental damage being measured [21:28] Capitalism | Sir Ronald breaks down capitalism driven by profit and social impact [28:05] Communism | Setbacks of communism and how increased prosperity redistributed is better  [32:30] Turning Point | Recognizing social problems and having technology to measure impact [34:59] Striving | Sir Ronald introduces human nature to strive for money & quality of life [42:14] Re-Skill | Sir Ronald identifies why opportunities for new skills is part of the system [45:12]   QUOTES: “Because making money at the expense of the environment, or poor people isn't the way to do business. And it doesn't help solve the social and environmental issues we face.” [10:45]   “...we can't let capitalism be driven by profit only. We must have markets trying to achieve profit, and something good for society or the environment. Otherwise, capitalism creates problems.” [28:31]   “I think most company leaders would rather do good and do well, than create problems and make money. But it's the power of consumers and employees and investors together that are going to get them to change their behavior.” [30:40]   “...if you plan everything for people, you kill innovation, and entrepreneurship, with the ability to think out of the box, [and] the freedom to try to execute it.” [33:08]   “Human nature is about striving, striving for survival, striving for success, it’s all about striving, and our system encourages and enables the striving.” [42:28]   “a system like capitalism, which is dynamic, and resilient, and reactive, if it is channeled in the same way, it will be better than a system where the government tries to plan everything from above.” [50:40]   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: The Harvard Business School Impact-Weighted Account Study (hbsiwa.com): Learn more about your ad choices.

Spacetime, the sun and the moon, physical objects, everything that we see inside of space and time is just our visualization tool. The reality we're interacting with is nothing like the visualization tool. There's nothing like space and time.

Whether you’re consuming social media, reading a book, streaming a new series online, or having a conversation with a friend or family member, you are receiving signals from the world that shape your self-identity.

Righteous indignation is personally intoxicating, culturally powerful and incredibly motivating. It also doesn’t necessarily align with reality, as shown by the fact that opposite sides of many issues are often equally righteous and equally angry. So how do we move past righteous indignation to look at problems like racism in terms of realistic solutions and honest tradeoffs? On this episode of Conversations with Tom, the brilliant young intellectual Coleman Hughes discusses the ways that our national debate about race has gone far off the rails. He also points out real-world solutions to some smaller problems that have actually worked, and strongly advocates that we adopt a more facts-based mindset on the bigger issues.

We live in a culture that tells us that some emotions are bad. Unfortunately, these same “bad” emotions are unavoidable for anyone aiming to live a meaningful life. As a result, many of us spend much of our lives in conflict with our own emotions, stuck in self-narratives that no longer serve us. Thankfully, on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Harvard Psychologist Susan David shows us a way out of this self-destructive internal conflict. She explains how to use your “negative” emotions to connect with your core values (which you can learn more about by taking this quiz here: http://quiz.susandavid.com/s3/eai ). She also discusses the dangers of focusing on being right, the power of self-compassion and importance of emotional agility.

You should eat more protein, and yes, that means red meat. This statement might surprise some audiences, but it is based on the fundamentally sound science that high muscle strength is independently associated with lower all cause mortality. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon has been on the forefront of “muscle-centric medicine” for years, and here’s what really is surprising. She became obsessed with the concept because of her work with palliative care, dementia and geriatrics.

Daniel Schmachtenberger is a founding member of The Consilience Project, aimed at improving public sensemaking and dialogue. The throughline of his interests has to do with ways of improving the health and development of individuals and society, with a virtuous relationship between the two as a goal. Towards these ends, he’s had a particular interest in the topics of catastrophic and existential risk, civilization and institutional decay and collapse as well as progress, collective action problems, social organization theories, and the relevant domains in philosophy and science. Motivated by the belief that advancing collective intelligence and capacity is foundational to the integrity of any civilization, and necessary to address the unique risks we currently face given the intersection of globalization and exponential technology, he has spoken publicly on many of these topics, hoping to popularize and deepen important conversations and engage more people in working towards their solutions. Many of these can be found here. Right now, we are living through times that have many people wondering about the end of the world. On this episode of Conversations with Tom, host Tom Bilyeu and guest Daniel Schmachtenberger engage in a fascinating discussion about social media, neural warfare, game theory, power itself, and the ways that our society has over-optimized. In particular, they talk about why it’s so important to stop trying to be right, why we need to start thinking in more complex ways, and why the real battlefield is the human mind.

We have over-complicated health and wellness. And we may be emphasizing food and exercise too much when stress, touch and sex are just as important. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee knows that people are needlessly suffering, and change is quite possible. Not only is it possible, but it may be much simpler than most people realize. On this episode of Conversations with Tom, Rangan and Tom Bilyeu discuss how crucially important human touch is, and talk extensively about how harmful stress is. Dr. Chatterjee even claims that stress is a bigger part of digestive disorders than food is. This is not the only controversial claim he makes, but he has both the research and the life experience treating patients to back up what he says. After watching this episode you may very well conclude that it’s the simple things that we need to get right: human touch, intimacy, and relaxation. The complexity and the tech can wait.

Sports Illustrated calls Trevor Moawad “the world’s best brain trainer.” With an accolade like that, and a history of working with the world’s elite athletes, you might expect him to have some sort of fancy, highly-complex system. If so, your expectations would be wrong. Moawad keeps it simple and straight-forward, focusing on changing what people say, what they consume, and how they form habits. On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Trevor Moawad discusses a realistic alternative to the trendy idea of positive thinking, explains the connection between what you say out loud and how your life turns out, and proves conclusively that, contrary to popular belief, your past does not predict your future. This episode is brought to you by: Indeed Better Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory   SHOW NOTES:   Negative thinking is bad, but positive thinking doesn’t work all the time either [2:42] It’s much easier to change what you say than it is to change what you think [7:07] Trevor tells stories of how people talked negative outcomes into existence [8:26] Tom and Trevor discuss Man’s Search for Meaning [12:13] Everyone has messed up thoughts, but you don’t have to say it out loud [13:36] Your past does not predict your future [15:48] You have to ask: what do I want, why do I want it, and why don’t I have it [20:06] If you watch 3 minutes of news it increases your chances of having a bad day by 27% [22:34] Trevor explains why hope matters [23:21] Trevor discusses why he says choice is an illusion [25:13] Trevor shares the impact he wants to have on the world [30:12]   QUOTES:   “If someone says something out loud, it’s ten times more powerful than if they think it.” [7:07]   “Negativity is a multiple of four to seven times more powerful than positivity. So think about that. If I say something out loud, it’s 10x. If it’s negative, it’s four to seven times more powerful. So when I say negative things out loud, it’s 40 to 70 times more likely that that will happen--or cause a result that won’t be good for me--than if I just didn’t say anything.” [7:21]   “If you say stupid sh*t out loud ultimately you’re predicting and perpetuating exactly what you don’t want to have happen.” [13:42]   “The past is real.

What if everything you think you know about yourself is wrong? Most people have the intuition that they have a self separate from their body and brain, and that they can control their experience with conscious will. But what if that isn’t true?

On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, she discusses experiments on the cutting edge of physics and neuroscience, and explains why those experiments matter.
