Tony Robbins is the life coach that has changed millions of lives around the world for decades. With hundreds of companies, high-profile clients like Oprah and Bill Clinton, and a proven track record helping people beat depression and suicidal thoughts that’s been studied by Stanford, Tony Robbins has helped more than 50 million people around the world. If you’ve been stuck dealing with some things and you don’t know how to move forward, or your problems are all-consuming and you’re settling for life the way it is, then this is the binge worthy content you need to commit to watching and listening to every day for the next 7 days. Why? Because you have to get so hungry for the success, the life, and the change you ‘say’ you want for yourself. It’s not up to the people that did you wrong or anyone else. It’s only up to you to discover your passion, get hungry, and change your energy and focus into what you need. Tom has been greatly influenced by Tony Robbins and has used many of Tony’s ideas and inspiration to build the life of success and fulfillment he now has.  This episode points to some critical ideas you need to commit to memory (or a sticky note) You can always find 3 ways forward in every situation Update your identity to always be expansive Never settle for a life without hunger or passion To change you life you have to change your story Get really good at pattern recognition, pattern utilization, and pattern creation Now’s the time to take action and implement at least one idea a day, a week, or a month. Whatever you choose to do, make it a consistent practice, and go after it with 100% energy and focus. 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. Hunger is the number one factor.” “It’s not the problem, it’s not the trauma. It’s finding what you value more than the trauma.” Follow Tony Robbins: Website: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/tonyrobbins  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyRobbins/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyrobbins/ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s like the software experience drives the hardware experience.” “Rescuing somebody from their suffering may just be robbing them from their greatest teacher.” “Suffering isn’t the only way of learning, slowing down, and getting in touch with who we are.” “If I’m only going for the truth, I’m trying to bypass the feeling, then I may not be moving it through to a process of resolution.” “It’s recognizing the power of these medicines, who’s safe and ready to work with them, how do you prepare them really well to get ready for that experience, how do you try to optimize the efficacy of that experience itself…” Follow Dr. Dan Engle: Website: https://drdanengle.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drdanengle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdanengle/ 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.

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.

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!

The launch of ChatGPT broke records in consecutive months between December 2022 and February 2023. 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 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.

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.

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?

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. The question is, what comes out after that, [...] you get to the point you’re augmented and then it’s who runs who.” “We as humans are just training AI, [...] I don’t think we understand what we’re doing training somebody who’s going to take us over.” “If you can afford to, invest in it [A.I.]. If not, be curious.” “The impossible is possible.” “Doom porn sells, it catches attention. Fear is the strongest human emotion.” Follow Raoul Paul: Website: https://www.realvision.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raoulgmi/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealVisionFinance 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 hostinger.com/impact and use code IMPACT to get 10% OFF your new website!

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.

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. But you have to let go of the past before you can move forward.” [16:11] “I'm never where I “want to be”, but I don't trick myself into tying my value to achieving it.” [17:17] 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: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Paralyzed by self-doubt, struggling to get started, chronically procrastinating, and lacking energy for the day are all problems that point to motivation. What is that you want for yourself and the world you live in? What thoughts, good or bad, dictate your actions or lack of actions every morning? Jim Kwik’s mission is that no brain is left behind. He’s one of the world's leading experts on how to train the brain and accelerate learning. The bestselling author of the book Limitless is the brain coach A-list celebrities and thought leaders call for help. His traumatic brain injury as a child turned into a gift for the world as he teaches how to do bigger and greater things. In this special episode Jim reveals his 3 part formula for sustainable motivation and why motivation is a major factor in accomplishing everything you want to go after.

QUOTES: “When you have a finite amount of energy and wherewithal and vitality or bandwidth, you don’t say yes to a lot of things.” “Genius leaves clues.” “I’m not looking for perfection because I don’t think that standard exists, I’m just looking to make incremental progress.” “It’s not about truth, it’s about what we decide in that moment that’s either going to empower us to move forward or make us shrink.” “I believe that limitless isn’t about being perfect. I believe the idea of limitless is that we can progress and advance beyond what we currently believe is possible in ourselves.” “Your mind is always eavesdropping on your self-talk.” “Some of the most successful people live at the edge of their limits and they play there as well.” “The truth is we’re faster and smarter than we know.” Follow Jim Kwik: Website: https://www.jimkwik.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimkwik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JimKwik Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimkwikofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimkwik/ 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/3S8Tnv6 Sponsors: Get $500 off Peloton Tread Packages that come with accessories like a heart rate band, workout mat and non-slip dumbbells.

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.

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. QUOTES: “The alignment of essence and action would be a good way to get started with integrity.” “It is a challenging time to be a man at the moment in 2023. I think that it is very hard for you to find a firm place to stand with your masculinity.” “The pessimist always finds out that they’re right.” “After a while you have to admit to yourself that your imposter syndrome has got nothing to do with your capacity and everything to do with your addiction to feeling like an imposter.”  “The male sedation hypothesis is that men are being sedated out of their status seeking and their reproductive desires through porn and video games…” “I think men and women have biological predispositions that cause them to be better suited towards different sorts of tasks.” “I really think that we’re going to have a mating crisis on our hands which is driven out of education and employment.” “You have an ever increasing cohort of women competing for an ever decreasing cohort of ultra high-performing men.” “If you give a man purpose and the ability to achieve it he will crawl over broken glass with a smile.” “If you cannot find a partner that you genuinely are attracted to and that you genuinely want, that’s not good for you either. If one sex loses, both sexes lose.” “Men and women are supposed to raise each other up.” Follow Chris Williamson: Website: https://chriswillx.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisWillx  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriswilliamsonlife/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx/  Podcast: https://chriswillx.com/podcast/  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s what allows him to execute at such a high level consistently with clarity of mind and complete focus.This episode is a masterclass unto itself and covers everything from getting the right morning routine to getting so good you can’t be ignored or denied.The only question now is, what do you want and what price are you willing to pay to get there?“There’s a gap between who you are today and who you will need to become in order to execute against your why.” -Tom BilyeuQUOTES:“For anybody that wants to achieve something extraordinary in their life, the third thing you need to focus on is mindset, the first two are diet and exercise.” [2:03]“To get the most out of my day, to make the most of whatever hours I’m awake, I would rather be super sharp and well-rested, than try to wake up really early, be tired, be slow, be miserable…” [6:44]“It is insanely important, and I believe that you can get ahold of your emotional states [20:11]“Fear of confrontation, [...] part of that fear is coming from you having a vision of yourself that you’re worried will be diminished…” [24:16]“Instead of trying to come out of the other side of confrontation looking cool or being right, [...] go into that confrontation with a desire to find out what is really true, what is really optimal…” [24:37]“In the process of gaining hat mastery and fanning those flames it became a passion, but it wasn’t a passion right off the bat.” [29:47]“You need to speak in a way that draws people in.” [36:42]“The truth of the f*cking world is that until you take ownership of everything in your life, until you stop making excuses and blaming anybody, you will never go as far as you could go.” [39:45]“Don’t worry about convincing people, meet them with compassion, [...] understand that a fixed mindset is its own punishment.” [41:36]“You can never have two top priorities, [...] that doesn’t mean that there aren’t multiple things that aren’t important, but there can only be one top priority.” [42:48]“You can become anything you want to become.” [46:52]“We’re not judged by our intentions. We are judged by what we actually accomplish.” [56:27]“Who you are today does not predict who you can become.” [1:03:42]“There’s a difference between happiness and fulfillment, [...] fulfillment is often born of suffering, it’s about doing the things that are hard.” [1:21:45]“A little bit of beating yourself up actually probably does move you towards your goal cause it kicks you in the ass and gets you moving.” [1:30:22] “The second I give my power away to somebody else, I’m now at something else’s mercy.” [1:46:17]Follow Tom Bilyeu:Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: 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. We’ve all been there and perhaps you are there now. So, how do you get unstuck, and how do you stop sabotaging your best efforts at moving towards a higher purpose and a better version of yourself? You are not alone, and in less than half an hour you’ll have at least one thing you can start doing immediately to get unstuck and not sabotage the rest of your day.“Delaying gratification is an absolute superpower.” Tom BilyeuProblems being addressed: • Being so passionate, and yet so afraid • Not taking action on the thing you should be doing to reach your goals • Trouble ignoring negative thoughts to push through the resistance • Living in the cycle of thinking I feel stuckThe Juice of Success = Helping Others + Having Established Rules + Your Excitable GoalSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction0:33 | Self Sabotage Death Loop6:19 | Procrastination Cure11:20 | Confidence From Failure 16:54 | Success is Delayed Gratification20:11 | Tom’s Secret Weapon QUOTES:“By putting it off till tomorrow, I really was sabotaging myself. 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. Because it is only in that iterative process that you are able to improve...” [12:07]“Get really good at facing that embarrassment and you can really propel yourself forward.” [15:43]“If you're just operating around optimizing for momentary mind states, brain states, neurochemical states, then you're always going to be in short term thinking, you're always going to get short term results.” [18:22]“What matters in life is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself.” [22:15]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.

You start to feel lazy and unmotivated because you lack the grit and self-discipline to see anything through to the end. 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...

He’s the executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy.

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.

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.

His passion for sharing stoicism is apparent in any one of his bestselling books. The lessons on stoicism he simplifies and makes relatable are markers for living a quality life based in courage and truth.For this episode, consider the discomfort of being courageous when the stakes are high whether it’s moral or ethical. Stop stealing time from yourself and treat your time with as much value and care as you do your physical possessions.

Your whole life should be lived as a heroic deed.” -Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of WisdomSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Ryan Holiday0:24 | Master Courage for Success24:10 | Master Feedback Loop & Check Your Ego47:11 | Master These Virtues1:22:17 | Choose the Right Drive & Goal1:42:32 | The Secret Path to SuccessQUOTES:“Think about courage as very rarely the easy way and almost always the harder way.” [1:56]“The decision to quit, the decision to give up, the decision to concede that’s ultimately a power that you always have.” [4:54]“Courage is not always sexy and obvious.” [15:36]“If you’re trying to be everything for everyone and you read feedback you’re just going to get more lost.” [32:43]“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.” [41:28]“There’s two components to courage. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Between the gas pump and groceries alone you can’t help but feel the tension rising.Raoul Pal, a former hedge fund manager that retired at the age of 36, serial entrepreneur, and global macro investor expert is joining Tom for a second time to discuss the realities people need to be aware of to thrive in a global recession. A word of wisdom he shares that was passed on to him is, “he who has cash in a recession is king.” The bottom line Raoul is openly sharing is that income and the ability to advance on opportunities makes all the difference.“Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” - Nathan RothschildHaving a solid work ethic, a strong (and maybe unreasonably optimistic) belief, coupled with income and the knowledge to look for moments of extreme weakness to buy and make moves, without leverage, against opportunities can get you to the other side of this crisis potentially better off than when it all began.You get to decide what to focus on.

Discomfort, hard work, uncomfortable situations and conversations, are the things that no one desires more of, and yet…The ability to build a wildly successful and scalable business is within reach for nearly everyone reading this, and yet through self-selection on the few will do what needs to be done to rise to the top. Of the few that rise to the top, even fewer will do so feeling fulfilled in their life. It takes much more than skills and relationships to be successful. It takes grit and determination to do the hard things. 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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
