Erika and Dorit have faced rocky waters none of us saw coming. Dorit and Kyle are also not in a great place. Anyone see a trend here? To be clear, Erika actually lost it on Dorit and this is a feud we sure did not see coming. Andy texts Nene but would rather reconcile with Kathy Griffin despite all the negative stuff she just said about him. Speaking of Andy, he shades Craig and the crowd goes wild. Last, but not least, we break down all the fashion - good, bad and other. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and his co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most pressing issues shaping our future. From the volatility of today's markets and the AI boom, to the complexities of wealth, government spending, and the evolution of education, this episode is a masterclass in first-principles thinking matched with real-world urgency. You'll hear Tom Bilyeu dissect the hype and reality behind AI advancements and market bubbles, breaking down how future profits and technological bets are shaping everything from Tesla's stock price to global alliances with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Anthropic. On the education front, Drew and Tom Bilyeu debate the effectiveness of the Department of Education, why simply throwing money at societal problems doesn't work, and how AI could radically reshape how we learn—if we're willing to measure what truly matters. Of course, no episode is complete without a tough look at wealth inequality, the myth of the “billionaire quick fix,” and what it actually takes to build a lasting, thriving society. Expect strong opinions, grounded wisdom, and plenty of laughs as Tom Bilyeu and Drew challenge conventional thinking and explore what it means to thrive in an era of exponential change.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this fiery episode, Tom and co-host Drew break down a whirlwind week in global politics, economics, and culture. They kick things off analyzing the passage of the Epstein Transparency Act and the political maneuvering surrounding its release, digging into why only one member voted against it and what's really happening behind the scenes. From there, they dive into international developments, unpacking Texas Governor Abbott's controversial decision to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, Saudi Crown Prince MBS's jaw-dropping $1 trillion investment commitment to the US, and the financial turbulence shaking Japan as the yen carry trade unwinds. The looming tensions between China and Japan get a spotlight as well, with an exploration of what's at stake for Taiwan and global chip manufacturing. Finally, the conversation takes a turn toward culture, as Tom and Drew tackle a viral debate: do men really care about women's careers? Tom draws from personal experience to unpack the psychology behind modern relationships and the pressures at play—and what it means for both men and women navigating today's dating scene. Packed with hot takes, big questions, and sharp insight, this episode cuts straight to the heart of what's shaping our world right now. Let's dive in! What's up, everybody?

Now that the Giudice / Gorga reconciliation tour is in full effect, BravoCon and all, Joey Gorga has a strong message for Bravo, Andy and the fans. Speaking of BravoCon, Wendy Osefo took zero accountability for her alleged actions, seems to remain clueless about her potential future and chose her words very carefully none of which seemed to include her insistence that she is innocent. Last, but not least, Andy Cohen worked fast to dash everyone's hopes of the RHONY OG/Newbie combo but as the future of RHONY is expected to be announced any week now, let us not count the RHONY OGs out just yet. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Tom sits down for part two of his riveting conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolski, a leading AI safety researcher. Together, they dive deep into the existential risks and moral quandaries posed by artificial superintelligence, exploring why even some of the industry's most vocal advocates for caution—like Elon Musk—end up accelerating the development of advanced AI. Dr. Yampolski pulls no punches, explaining why attempts to control superintelligent systems might be futile, the challenges of aligning AI interests with humanity's well-being, and the reasons he's so skeptical that society can pump the brakes on innovation. The discussion ranges from the dangers of an unchecked AI arms race and the psychological burden of confronting these risks, to practical approaches for boosting AI safety and the impact of emerging technologies like quantum computing and genetic engineering. Tom and Roman also touch on longevity science, ethics around gene editing, and the future of personal adaptation across generations. Whether you're an optimist about technology or deeply concerned about humanity's trajectory, this episode is packed with insight, tough questions, and thought-provoking perspectives that will leave you rethinking the future of intelligence—both artificial and human.

On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we dive headfirst into the profound implications and looming risks of AI's rapid progress, guided by Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, a leading voice in AI safety. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Dr. Roman Yampolskiy tackle the big questions on everyone's mind: How close are we to artificial general intelligence (AGI)? What dangers emerge as AI systems become more capable and autonomous—and how do we even begin to test and control something that might soon outpace human intelligence across the board? From the philosophical dilemma of lost human meaning in an age of superhuman machines to the urgency of figuring out if and how we can align AI with our values, this conversation doesn't shy away from worst-case scenarios. Dr. Roman Yampolskiy discusses the reality behind safety concerns, the challenge of evolving algorithmic "conscience," and why economic and societal shifts—like mass unemployment—are just the tip of the iceberg. Whether you're fascinated by technology, worried about the existential risks, or simply wondering how the rise of AI could reshape every aspect of human life, this episode is a thought-provoking, eye-opening journey into the heart of one of the most critical conversations of our time. Get ready to explore the science, the speculation, and the personal stakes behind the race to the future. What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu here: If you want my help...

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where thought-provoking debate and unfiltered takes collide in real time. In this explosive episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the week's most controversial headlines—starting with the freshly unearthed email allegations linking Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and what that means for public perception, accountability, and the ever-shifting boundaries of scandal. But that's just the beginning. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the heart of political ideology, as Tom Bilyeu draws bold lines between socialism, communism, state-run capitalism, and authoritarianism. He doesn't shy away from naming names, unpacking the influence of public figures like Mamdani, and warning of the historical dangers he sees in popular movements—citing examples from the writings on Mao, Stalin, and beyond. Is the current direction of democratic socialism a slippery slope, or a misunderstood path to progress? How do ideas—dangerous or otherwise—gain momentum, and what's the true cost when policy meets real-world consequences? Alongside Drew, the pair weigh up everything from government spending, deficits, and the logic—or lack thereof—of modern monetary theory, to why “free” often comes with a hidden price tag. If you've ever wondered how the economic choices of today shape the society of tomorrow, or where the line is drawn between strong leadership and dangerous dogma, you won't want to miss this candid, high-stakes conversation. So, get ready for riveting insights and sharp commentary—it's all here, right now, on The Tom Bilyeu Show Live. What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu here: If you want my help...

Part 2: In the explosive conclusion of Tom Bilyeu's in-depth conversation with Destiny, the pair dive straight into the heart of American and global economic anxieties. Picking up the conversation midstream, they examine the crisis of US debt, deficit spending, and the looming consequences if America loses its economic dominance. Destiny challenges the myths around labor, productivity, and the decline of manufacturing, arguing that America's edge might not always be where politicians think it is. The conversation spirals into a confrontation over trade, international competition, and whether the populist backlash against globalization is truly justified. Tom and Destiny wrestle with the cultural and political magma of the Trump era—addressing authoritarian tendencies, threats to democratic norms, the danger of hyper-partisanship, and the ramifications of weaponizing government institutions. As they close, Destiny lays out his vision for restoring civil discourse—a strategy for holding both sides accountable and cultivating a more honest, functional public debate. This is a masterclass in unpacking the roots of America's polarization, with hard-hitting reflections on leadership, values, and what it truly means to steer a country toward a better future.

The conversation kicks off with the rise of a socialist-leaning mayor in New York City, before widening into a no-holds-barred debate on the health of the U.S. economy, wealth inequality, deficit spending, and the political polarization gripping the nation. Stephen brings his signature sharpness and skepticism as he challenges narratives about the direction of the Democratic Party, the nature of economic growth, and the practical realities of policy-making in an era of gridlock. Tom and Stephen clash on the dangers of populism, the reality behind deficit spending, and the very definition of what's driving the policies of both the left and the right. From housing crises and immigration to the looming threat of authoritarianism and the legacy of globalism, nothing is off the table in this wide-ranging episode. Whether you're worried about runaway spending, civil stability, or just want to understand how smart people can see the same world so differently, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and Drew dive headfirst into America's current political and economic landscape, unpacking the recent “blue wave” of Democratic wins—including Zoran Mamdani's victory in NYC—and what it signals for the future of governance, policy, and the middle class. The conversation kicks off with heated reflections on the consequences of political shifts, examining the impact of progressive policies, the perennial debate over wealth and poverty, and the mechanics of economic systems that are driving so much division. Drew shares candid thoughts on why some policies, while well-intentioned, might be leading us toward more hardship, especially for the working class—all while painting vivid analogies connecting personal growth, historical lessons, and even Greek myths to our current reality. From government shutdowns and fiscal responsibility to the behind-the-scenes drama of Congress and power plays among billionaires, no stone is left unturned. The episode even touches on breaking news like the UPS cargo plane disaster, the precarious state of America's air travel infrastructure, and technological leaps with wireless brain implants, before rounding out with world affairs like Tommy Robinson's acquittal in the UK.

In the riveting conclusion of Tom Bilyeu's conversation with WhatifAltHist, we journey deeper into the social and psychological forces driving the modern malaise. This segment picks up with the feminization of culture, the consequences for masculinity, and how evolutionary psychology explains everything from birth rate collapse to rising social distrust. With both wit and a sharp edge, WhatifAltHist analyzes the shifting dynamics between men and women, the devastating impact of merit suppression, hypergamy, and why Gen Z faces a world of atomized social interaction and declining family formation. Part two dives into the pathology of the modern left—from ideological purity spirals to the breakdown of authentic community and the rise of suicidal empathy. The conversation explores the perils of unchecked immigration, authoritarian overreach, and the dangers of ignoring biological realities. The episode wraps with hard-hitting advice on how society might regenerate—championing a return to masculinity, social trust, and the restoration of a truly human context.

In this illuminating first half of our deep-dive episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with the brilliant and provocative historian and YouTube creator, WhatifAltHist. Known for his cutting insights into cyclical history and alternative perspectives on societal collapse, WhatifAltHist brings a wealth of knowledge on philosophy, politics, and anthropology to the discussion. The conversation kicks off with a dissection of Nietzsche's “Age of the Last Man,” exploring how Western civilization is at a crossroads characterized by complacency, lack of cultural transmission, and a dangerous loss of ambition. Part one focuses on the unraveling of shared cultural myths, the impact of rapid societal change, and why every historic society similar to ours has met with revolution. The duo investigate the destructive influence of Marxism and modern ideologies on social cohesion, what happens when traditional cultural frameworks erode, and the economic crises intersecting with culture. If you're curious about how historical patterns, economic choices, and ideological battles shape our present moment, this segment will ground you in the underlying forces of our age.

In today's thought-provoking deep dive, Tom Bilyeu explores one of the most pressing questions of our time: Has America fallen behind, and should we take a page from China's playbook to catch up? Drawing on history—from America's industrial feat during World War II to the rise of China as a global manufacturing powerhouse—he examines the economic, political, and military collision course between these two nations. Tom Bilyeu breaks down the complexities and trade-offs of free market capitalism versus the efficiency (and risks) of a command economy, unpacking how government intervention shapes innovation, competition, and even your investment portfolio. He traces America's journey from rapid-growth freedom to managing decline through increased regulation and central planning, warning of the pitfalls of excessive government control. Tune in as Tom Bilyeu shares his take on the best path forward: advocating for a return to first principles of economic freedom, entrepreneurship, and smart, limited government intervention. This episode challenges you to rethink what it means to compete—and succeed—on the world stage. Get ready for a no-nonsense, straight-shooting analysis that's equal parts history lesson and wake-up call for America's future. What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu here: If you want my help...

Richard shares his eight secrets to building a successful business, discusses his current passion for helping mid-sized companies scale up and explains why he's investing £200 million of his own money into promising businesses. Richard Harpin REVEALS: How he started HomeServe with £50,000 of life savings How he nearly went bankrupt His key secret, to copy and pivot, finding successful business models and improving upon them He has always been entrepreneurial, starting by breeding rabbits at age 5, becoming "Ricardo the magician" at age 9 and establishing about six businesses before founding HomeServe at age 20. Why Richard is focused on helping the UK's 168,000 mid sized businesses scale up Why Britain lacks support for companies transitioning from startup to large enterprise. Why businesses need revolution at the start but should focus on constant evolution as they grow BEST MOMENTS "I think the UK is the best place to run a global business. I think it's a great place for entrepreneurs to start a business... The only issue is, as a country, we're not that good at scale-ups." "I did [pay a big load of tax when selling the company] and I was happy to pay it because capital gains tax is at a reasonable level. I don't believe in all these entrepreneurs that sell up and move to Jersey or Monaco." "We're taught at school that copying homework is bad. We might get expelled for it. In business, I think copying is good." "Disruption is what you do at the start of your business when you're inventing the model... But once you've done it, don't disrupt twice. That is dangerous. Just keep evolving that model."

On this episode, we talk with Luis Quiroga, Senior Vice President, HVAC Strategy and Growth at HomeServe USA.Luis is leading an interesting new approach to HVAC systems in the home, where the homeowner leases the equipment instead of buying their own system. The lease includes the latest, most efficient HVAC system, plus add-ons like smart thermostats. The lease also includes all maintenance and repairs for the life of the contract. The program is called the Home Serve Advantage program, and it is truly out-of-the-box thinking for American homeowners. However, Luis points out that in Canada, there are already nearly two million water heaters being leased, so the concept is proven to work for our neighbors to the north.Luis talks about their marketing strategies to get people to think differently about the equipment in their homes. He also talks about the importance of energy efficiency when it comes to your HVAC system, to reduce your carbon footprint.It's an interesting concept that could change the HVAC business in America.

Stamp Duty holiday ends, long live tax on property buyers! Wednesday 30 June is the deadline for most European Union (EU) citizens to apply to live permanently in the UK as settled residents. The Stamp Duty exemption for homebuyers paying tax on properties which cost £250,000 or less is coming to an end, much to my solicitor's relief! He will need a real holiday! Wales temporarily raised its threshold for land transaction tax (LTT) during the pandemic from £180,000 to £250,000, in line with other UK governments. The exemption, originally to March 2021, was extended to 30 June. Some homebuyers have saved thousands by completing sales within the deadline, but others are set to miss out for various reasons including legal or mortgage delays. From 1 July, stamp duty will be charged above £250,000 at the following rates: £0-£250,000 = 0% £250,001-£925,000 = 5% £925,001-£1,500,000 = 10% £1,500,000+ = 12% On 1 October 2021, rates are due to return to normal. That means the point you to start paying stamp duty will revert to £125,001: £0-£125,000 = 0% £125,001-£250,000 = 2% £250,001-£925,000 = 5% £925,000-£1,500,000 = 10% £1,500,000+ = 12% You can use the government's Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) calculator to find out how much you would pay. Will there be a slump in the market? In truth, nobody really knows when the property, or stock market, will peak, but we do know that bull runs usually last 10-12 years and we have already passed that deadline. Governments around the world printing trillions of dollars have prevented a slump and recession, so far. An estate agent friend of mine, who has just had her best quarter ever, said she is concerned that people who wanted to buy this year have done so already. EU Settlement Scheme Deadline The take-up of the European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) has been huge - but there are serious concerns that thousands of people have still not sought to register. Anyone who is not registered loses their legal right to live in the UK. What is the EU Settlement Scheme? The EUSS was launched in March 2019 to register EU citizens as settled residents in the UK. This is a follow-on from Brexit, which ended freedom of movement and the right of people from the EU to come to the UK - and for UK citizens to go the other way. More details - https://how2cometotheuk.blogspot.com/2021/06/eu-settlement-deadline-30-june-2021-how.html By the end of May 2021, 5.6 million people had applied for the scheme - far more than expected (it was estimated in March 2019 that there were 3.7m EU nationals in the UK). How will this affect UK residents? The BBC reports that a shortage of skilled trade workers has developed as European Union migrants leave the UK and demand for home improvements rises, according to the founder of Homeserve. Chief executive Richard Harpin said the shortages were "pretty bad" across the country, not just in construction but in other trades too. He wants the government to put more trades on its jobs shortage list. The hospitality sector is also experiencing staff shortages, so you might have to wait a little longer for your latte. In the long run, importing cheap labour does not help the economy and we should be investing in more training to upskill the resident workforce, especially if they are unemployed and drawing benefits. The laws of supply and demand dictate that when there is a shortage, prices rise. We will all be paying more for trades people, and the price of materials has also shot up. It has become almost impossible to find handymen, plumbers, builders, electricians and other workers since the lockdown when thousands of EU workers handed back the keys to their landlords and flew home. With so many people moving, everyone is busy, which is exactly what the government wanted to achieve with the stimulus. Would you like to get into property, but have no money or don't know how?

Oren Greenberg is an instructor on Skillshare and Jolt. This episode's train of thought: Our conversation matches todays challanges of new businesses that are in a situation "David vs Goliath". The discussions concept is based on a scenario where a startup enters a market. 3 big competitors have split up the market betweeen each other (Ratio 100% = 40-30-20-X). Theoretically there is still 10% of untapped market share and a potential that disatisfied customer base and frustrated employees might decide to shift over to the startup. This is where we discuss how such a startup can successfully move up to taking the place of #3 in the market. The startup presumably has sufficient funds through investors. The challange of the business is not money but actually getting clients (60% B2C + 40% B2B) and skilled workers (e.g. engineers, IT, marketeers, etc.).

The CEO of HomeServe Membership, Greg Reed joins us and shares that the key to his business is an engaged staff. He’s happy to hear when his organization goes above and beyond and does "a little more than they’re supposed to do.” Greg explains that such behavior showcases that the employee cares about the customer and the company- and that "they’re worried about both sides versus just caring about themselves.” As far as Greg is concerned, choice and voice have led to the current reality. So with Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple "creating value for customers and really seeing customer needs and fulfilling those needs,” Greg and the organization realized they could do the same thing very, very differently. They enhanced the product, changed the terms and conditions, gave field agents new tools and the opportunity to have a new attitude and they’re realizing that "customers will pay if they get better service."
