This is a fan fav episode. On this very personal episode of Heath Theory, Tom Bilyeu interviews the co-founder of Impact Theory (and his wife), Lisa Bilyeu. For years Lisa has suffered from catastrophic dysbiosis, and her battle with illness is actually the inspiration for Health Theory. Now that her health is manageable, she is sharing the most important lessons she has learned. In this episode, she explains why she needed to take total ownership of her health, how she dealt with shame and fear, why she has learned to use controlled experiments, and why it is so important to challenge accepted beliefs on health.

What do you do when life blindsides you—literally?When everything you've built is taken away in an instant, do you let it break you… or rebuild stronger than before?In this inspiring episode, Aaron Hale shares his incredible journey from tragedy to triumph. A U.S. Army EOD veteran, real estate investor, entrepreneur, podcaster, and ultra-endurance athlete, Aaron lost both his eyesight and hearing after a devastating explosion overseas.But instead of giving up, he rebuilt his life with purpose. Today, he's a husband, father, and the first blind and deaf person to complete the Badwater 135, the world's toughest foot race. He's also the host of the Point of Impact Podcast, where he motivates others to push past limits and create change.Aaron's story will challenge you to ask:What excuses are holding you back?What would your life look like if you stopped waiting to be “ready” and just started?This conversation is proof that while we can't always choose what happens to us, we can choose what happens next.Quotes:“Maturity is looking forward and it's accepting responsibility. I fought responsibility for so long, and I sought out enjoyment rather than responsibility. What I needed was the long view of my life, and it takes time. That's why it's called maturity, because it's a transition.”"I'm not extraordinary, I'm not a superhero or anything like that. I'm an average Joe. Each one of you has the ability to do and accomplish so much, and you don't have to get blown up to do it.""You can choose to do amazing things. Allow yourself to look through this window of life, and all you got to do is open the curtains a little bit wider, reach a little bit further, think bigger, and work towards that. Actionable Takeaways:Ask “How can I?” instead of “I can't.”When faced with challenges, shift your mindset from limitation to possibility. Reframe every obstacle as a question that invites creativity and action.Do something hard on purpose.Choose a challenge that stretches you — whether it's physical, mental, or emotional. Growth happens when you deliberately step outside your comfort zone.Find strength in service.When you're feeling low or lost, look for ways to help someone else. Turning your pain into purpose can reignite meaning in your own life.Build momentum through small, daily actions.Motivation fades, but discipline compounds. Take one small, consistent step each day toward a goal that matters to you.Use your story to inspire others.Reflect on a struggle you've overcome and share the lesson. Someone else may be waiting for the hope only your experience can give.Conclusion:Aaron Hale's journey is a reminder that even in total darkness, you can still choose light. His story proves that strength isn't about what happens to you—it's about how you respond. The habits you build, the attitude you choose, and the courage to keep going will define your future far more than any setback ever could.Let Aaron's example push you to take ownership of your story, face challenges head-on, and live with purpose—because the limits you think you have might only be the ones you've accepted.Connect with Aaron HaleBe inspired to push past limits and turn challenges into purpose.Follow Aaron's journey, tune in to the Point of Impact Podcast, and discover more stories that remind you what's truly possible.

These gifts are secretly delivered to the recipient family's doorstep one evening leading up to Christmas, tagged with a note signed from the Christmas Commandos.

We're all tempted, at times, to allow our ego to get the better of us. Many of us feel like we're on top of the world until the precise time we find ourselves on the bottom of it. My guest today, Aaron Hale, found himself in just that scenario as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal tech on a routine assignment when he was blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that caused him to lose sight and, later, his hearing. Today, we talk about the fear of being stuck, gratitude for our struggles and adversities, overcoming our greatest fears, how positivity and negativity are infectious, and how you can re-size your ego or have it re-sized for you.

Are you tired of the burnout that comes with chasing clients through DMs, constantly posting on social media with little return, and feeling stuck in feast-or-famine revenue cycles, this episode is for you. In Episode 273 of the School of Impact Podcast, you'll discover a five-part system that helps coaches and online service providers consistently attract 50–100 clients—without the chaos. From crafting magnetic messaging and building a strategic content system to designing conversion events and scaling with a tiered offer strategy, this episode delivers actionable insights backed by real-world success. Tune in now and learn how to grow your business with clarity, consistency, and sanity. “We don't have to be aggressive in the DMS, chasing people. We just have to be better with communication, with being able to speak our message in an influential way” Hear more about: Messaging Is Everything: Clear, specific, and emotionally resonant messaging is more effective than generic content. The key is to speak directly to your audience's external struggles and internal frustrations in their language, with a unique angle that helps you stand out in a noisy market. Strategic Content Systems Outperform Random Posting: Success doesn't come from constant, scattered posting. Instead, create a strategic content system that includes connection, authority, proof, and conversion posts—while also shifting beliefs and leading your audience through a buying journey. Conversion Events Create Predictability: Relying on high-volume DMs for sales leads to burnout and low conversion. Instead, run regular conversion events like live workshops, VSLs, or challenges to move leads through the buying pyramid in a more structured and scalable way. Email Lists Provide Leverage and Longevity: Social media visibility is fleeting. Consistently growing and nurturing your email list ensures better audience control, deeper engagement, and increased trust—all of which lead to more conversions over time. Tiered Offers Drive Sustainable Growth: You don't need to constantly acquire new clients to scale. A well-structured, tiered offer—where clients can move between one-on-one and group options—helps increase client retention, stabilize monthly revenue, and simplify scaling without overcomplicating your business.

I enjoy blending strategic thinking with creative problem-solving to drive meaningful change. My focus has always been on building connections and finding ways to enhance our communities.I kicked off my career in finance, where I found success as a top salesperson. That experience sharpened my analytical skills and taught me how to understand complex needs, which I now apply to my work in non-profit fundraising.What motivates me is the chance to contribute to causes that resonate with me. I thrive on collaboration, brainstorming new approaches, and discovering innovative strategies to advance our mission. Whether it's through partnerships, campaigns, or improving processes, my aim is to make a real impact.On a personal note, I grew up in Colorado, am a military brat, and the youngest of six siblings. I speak Spanish and love to travel! I'm a devoted wife who loves spending time with my husband. We enjoy serving our church, exploring new places, birdwatching, and practicing my compound bow in our league. And there's nothing better than a road trip through the Midwest with classic country tunes playing in the background. These experiences enrich my perspective and fuel my passion for giving back.I'm excited to connect with anyone who shares a passion for making a difference or wants to chat about innovative ways to engage in philanthropy and community work.https://boulderbridgehouse.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-lagge*************************************************************Judy is the CEO & Founder of the Judy Carlson Financial Group.
