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

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

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…” If you caught part one of today's dynamic conversation with Arthur Brooks, we talked about the role of progress in your ability to flourish, the danger of being attached to your beliefs and what happens when you allow your views to define your identity. Arthur Brooks is a social scientist, Harvard professor, and bestselling author committed to helping people find success, happiness and deep meaning. He's such a profound thought-leader in the space that he just released a book with Oprah called Build the Life You Want, The Art and Science of Getting Happier. We explore a deeply thought-provoking conversation about the pursuit of happiness through progress, learning, and understanding. As simple as the idea of happiness seems on the surface, understanding the complexities of what it means to pursue it, relish tt, and define the meaning of it without attachment and dogmatic viewpoints escapes many people. In the second part of our conversation, we tip the scales and really explore some controversial areas which is such a gift: The concept of beliefs becoming a religion  The topic of political differences and abuse being reasons for family schisms. The idea of making decisions that go against our natural instincts. By the end of this podcast, I want for your challenge your beliefs and reassess where you are in your pursuit of happiness. Are you exploring life with meaning on your journey or trapped in misconceptions and social constructs that distort your ability to ever be happy. ARTHUR BROOKS QUOTES: “Each of us is an entrepreneur in the startup of our lives. That's what really matters. And what we need is to always have a clear intention…” “The best thing that you can possibly do is to think about the emotions that you're feeling, what they mean and how best to use them.”  “All the things we really want in life. All of our deep desires are complex. All of our solutions are complicated, and we're throwing complicated solutions at complex problems and we're not getting happier.” “They're not entrepreneurial in the part of life that matters the most, which is their heart.” “The first one is that there is meaning. You need to find it and live up to it.” Follow Arthur Brooks: Website: https://arthurbrooks.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/arthurbrooks  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arthurbrooks123  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arthurcbrooks/  Sponsors: Visit https://bit.ly/WildHealthImpact to apply for membership for a better alternative to traditional healthcare.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory! Today we're diving into the complex world of relationships and social dynamics with the insightful psychologist, Sadia Khan.  This two-part conversation gets a little hard to hear, but it's too good to not drink in. We examine the allure of beauty on social media and its impact on modern relationships, often leading women to prioritize their appearance while men lose sight of relationship values that are important to selecting well.  Hear me when I say, there is NOTHING that has brought me more joy and wellbeing in my life than my 21 year marriage with Lisa. From material wealth to millions of followers, downloads, awards and sales, nothing has mattered more to me. If you want to master life, you have to master pair bonding. In part 1 of our conversation, Sadia, relationship expert known for seemingly controversial viewpoints when it comes to modern dating and the roles men and women are sabotaging each other with. We unpack the negative implications of: Over-glorifying a single trait, The importance of core values such as honesty, integrity, respect, and care for your partner's well-being, and How manipulation can shape relationships for better or worse. This conversation challenges societal norms and expectations. We talk about the value of monogamy, the misunderstood perceptions of feminism, and if the independent woman is creating her own roadblocks for true connection.  Wait till you hear Sadia's view on women submitting to their men in relationships. Is it necessary? Is it a natural inclination for women? Why are women struggling so much with the idea of submitting to their male partners? This episode isn't just about love and relationships; we're going to expose the misconceptions often spread by 'red pill' content that's targeting the weak and vulnerable men in need of healthier perspectives when it comes to women, love, and relationship power dynamics. Your journey to a better understanding of human behavior and relationships starts here.  SADIA KHAN QUOTES: “What social media has done is allowed women a platform to kind of showcase their body, their preferences, basically put themselves in the marketplace.” “We have to start learning to reject rather than glorifying the one ingredient we like.”  “If I dilute my experience with you by also talking to Tom, Dick and Harry, what will happen is I'm wasting energy not realizing that you might be really bad for me, [...] it creates internal chaos, whereas internal consistency will allow us to know what's good and bad for us.” “Feminism has taught women that catering and appreciating and showing love for your man is babying him and he should be a grown up and he should do it himself.” “A secure, healthy woman is not attracted to men who treat her mean, she's attracted to a man who has a willingness to leave if she misbehaves too much.” Follow Sadia Khan: Website: https://www.sadiapsychology.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sadiapsychology  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sadiapsychology  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sadiapsychology/  Unlock your true potential and enjoy an unparalleled listening experience with our Impact Theory Adfree subscription service at https://impacttheorynetwork.supercast.com/ Sponsors: Get 55% off at Babbel.com slash IMPACTTHEORY.

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

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

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

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

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

By the end of the first part of this 2-part episode, we may ruffle some feathers, BUT you'll have a much better understanding of WHY so many men are feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, and under-appreciated. Justin Waller, the CEO and founder of RedIron, a metal construction company with an unprecedented all-women construction management team, breaks down why social media and social expectations are creating weak men. Justin is acclaimed for his well-articulated discussions on societal norms, masculinity, and why modern men NEED to realize their self worth and establish their value. And if you think men are lost because of women, money and cars, think again! We're digging into the ‘JWaller's Philosophy' to explore WHY men have lost their strength, their value, and joy and consider some options for turning this around.  “What makes me happy is working on the man I'm going to become.”  -Justin Waller The central theme of our conversation today revolves around the necessity for men to establish and value their self-worth, aspire for personal fulfillment and learn how to cultivate a wholesome lifestyle.
