Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom and his co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and big ideas shaping our world. From Elon Musk waving goodbye to the “Doge cuts” and reflections on America's wild economic ride, to the drama of world leaders like Macron and the ongoing tension between global powers, this conversation pulls no punches. Tom breaks down the real state of our financial system—likening it to the Titanic heading for an iceberg—and explains why having a personal “life raft” like Bitcoin or gold might just be your best bet. Together, he and Drew tackle questions about government spending, hard money, and why even the most brilliant minds can't always fix a broken system. But it's not just economics on the table; prepare for a deep discussion about the dangers and potential of AI—as Drew shares new revelations about an AI model showing signs of self-preservation, deception, and even attempts at replicating itself. The conversation spins further out to explore the dangers of centralized digital currencies, the complexities of trusting experts, and the importance of questioning authority—especially when the stakes are sky-high.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom sits down with entrepreneur and venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale for a thought-provoking conversation about American resilience, defense innovation, and the values shaping our future. Joe shares his journey from grappling with the ethics of building defense technology at Palantir to championing a new wave of patriot-driven innovation at Anduril. Together, Tom and Joe tackle tough questions—like the morality of maximum lethality, the changing threats facing the West, and how America can regain its competitive and cultural edge in a rapidly shifting world. Joe doesn't shy away from controversy, offering candid insights into the dangers of “suicidal empathy,” the rise of China, and why internal dysfunction poses as great a risk as any foreign adversary. They dig deep into how to instill a culture of excellence—both in business and government—discussing what it takes to bring back courage, merit, and strong leadership in institutions. Along the way, Joe draws on personal stories, shares lessons from leaders he admires, and explains why developing advanced manufacturing and AI are crucial to safeguarding the country's future.

On today's episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with Joe Lonsdale—the prolific tech founder and investor known for co-founding Palantir and for building solutions at the intersection of technology and national defense. As concerns mount about America's readiness in the face of a rising China, Joe shares firsthand insights from decades at the forefront of defense innovation, higher education reform, and the struggle to revive meritocracy in our institutions. You'll hear how Joe went from a “naive pro-China camp” to sounding the alarm about CCP crackdowns, corporate espionage, and why our bloated, slow-moving government and defense sectors are failing to keep pace with adversaries abroad. From empowering the next generation of courageous leaders to building autonomous ships and anti-drone tech, Joe reveals what it will take for the U.S. to reclaim its competitive edge.

In this cutting-edge episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu takes center stage to confront one of the biggest questions of our era: can we actually trust the so-called "experts"? Drawing on riveting examples from history and his own journey as an entrepreneur, Tom dissects how expertise has been weaponized by elites, resulting in societal conformity—even when the experts turn out to be wrong. From the smoking doctors of the past to today's battles over pandemics, politics, and public policy, Tom lays out a provocative argument for why blind faith in authority is more hazardous than most realize. Tom invites listeners into a historical deep dive, exposing powerful stories like the persecution of Socrates and Galileo, the belittling of Linus Pauling, and the revolution started by Barry Marshall's rogue experiment. Throughout, he constructs a compelling case for why challenging orthodoxy is not only healthy, but necessary for progress. Whether you consider yourself an expert or a lifelong learner, part 1 will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about authority, consensus, and truth.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this special live episode, I'm joined by my incredible co-host (and wife), Lisa Bilyeu, for a deep-dive on the intersection of politics, world affairs, and what's really threatening democracy today. We tackle some heavy news—like Biden's shock cancer announcement and the implications of Bernie Sanders admitting Democrats can be a threat to democracy. Of course, with Lisa in the studio, we also bring an unfiltered relationship lens to these societal issues, exploring why humans double down on dogma, how our childhood shapes genius, and if wisdom can ever outrun calcified beliefs. Plus, we get personal on the abuse of power, MeToo fallout, female agency, and where the law should (or shouldn't) intervene in manipulative relationships.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Drew and I take you through a whirlwind week where politics, world affairs, and tech innovation collide. We dissect Biden's shocking cancer diagnosis and what it means for the country, dig into Bernie Sanders' eyebrow-raising admission about the Democratic Party, and go deep on just how broken the government really is—and how (or if) it can ever be fixed. We tackle the big questions: What does it take to create a thriving middle class? Should we trust the government to spend more and do more, or do we need to completely rethink the machine? Are we living through a crisis of vision, where our leaders offer no North Star to inspire the country? And with news breaking on both the NIH's gain-of-function research and China's clampdown on gene editing, are we prepared for the next wave of scientific disruption?

In this installment, Daniel and Tom push deeper into the roots of economic anxiety, the morality of money printing, the logic (and danger) of debt, and why the “Monopoly game” always ends in revolution, collapse, or war. They ask what it will really take to avoid history's bloodiest outcomes — and whether the solutions are personal, systemic, or already out of reach.

Lasting change begins with a shift in both mindset and behavior. Many people remain stuck in self-defeating patterns because of unconscious narratives, emotional triggers, and a disconnection from their body's inner wisdom. Change isn't just about willpower or information—it's about learning to rewire the brain through small, intentional actions that generate powerful emotional feedback loops. Identity transformation happens not through repetition, but through experiences that create a sense of success. In a world flooded with conflicting advice and manipulative marketing, reclaiming agency requires tuning into your own signals, building self-trust, and recognizing that behavior change is a design challenge—not a character flaw. Empowerment comes from realizing that the ability to change is built into who we are as humans. In this episode, I speak with Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and Dr. BJ Fogg about cracking the nut of behavior change. Tom Bilyeu is a filmmaker and serial entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, a billion-dollar company built to combat metabolic disease through value-driven innovation. After nearly a decade of chasing financial success and feeling unfulfilled, he realized the importance of loving the struggle itself. This insight led him and his partners to shift focus from profit to purpose. Quest quickly became the second fastest-growing company in North America, according to Inc. Magazine. After achieving significant personal wealth, Tom turned to the other global crisis he saw—disempowering mindsets. To address this, he co-founded Impact Theory, a media studio with his wife, Lisa Bilyeu. Their mission is to scale mindset transformation by producing empowering content that shifts the cultural subconscious. Just as Disney built the most magical place on Earth, the Bilyeus aim to build the most empowering one. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK. A practicing GP for the last two decades, Dr. Chatterjee wants to inspire people to transform their health by making small, sustainable changes to their lifestyles. Host of the #1 Apple podcast, Feel Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1's Doctor in the House, Dr. Chatterjee is the author of 5 Sunday Times bestselling books and his TED Talk, “How to Make Diseases Disappear,” has now been viewed over 4.8 million times. His newest book is Happy Mind, Happy Life: The New Science of Mental Well-Being. Dr. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, author, and founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he has researched human behavior since 1998. He developed the groundbreaking “Behavior Design” system, which explains how behavior works and how to design it effectively. Over the past decade, his lab has focused on practical applications—from helping people navigate coronavirus-related challenges to training climate change professionals in behavior change strategies. BJ is also the creator of the “Tiny Habits” method, a simple, science-backed approach to habit formation that has helped over 40,000 people make lasting life changes. His work empowers individuals and organizations to design behavior that benefits both people and the planet. He shares his insights in the New York Times best-selling book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

ALL NEW!! Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this solo deep dive, I break down the single mental model that changed everything for me—not just in business, but in every aspect of life, from marriage and health to navigating the chaos of global events. I take you behind the scenes of my own transformation, sharing how I went from obsessing over personal success to tackling the most complex, high-stakes challenges facing us all—like finance, politics, AI, and global conflict. This episode is about more than self-help platitudes; it's a blueprint for critical thinking and error correction in a world where spin, manipulation, and “expert” opinion too often derail our judgment. I reveal what I call “The Physics of Progress,” my five-step algorithm for truth-seeking, making better decisions, and not getting wrecked by your own biology, ego, or emotions. I break down why most people run on autopilot with inherited beliefs, the hidden power of incentives, and why AI could either be our greatest tool or our undoing. SHOWNOTES 00:00 – The trap of feeling right versus being right: why error correction matters 01:10 – Evolving beyond “spiritual entertainment”—tackling real-world complexity 02:34 – My five-part algorithm for navigating life's biggest challenges 04:04 – Hitting rock bottom and the brain plasticity breakthrough 05:08 – Why your frame of reference is a lie—and how to spot it 08:44 – First principles thinking, with real-world and historical examples 10:43 – Biology as destiny: how incentives and chemicals drive our choices 11:48 – The AI revolution: tool or manipulator? 13:14 – “Follow the incentives” to understand politics, business, and yourself 15:30 – How bad incentives led to the Boeing 737 Max tragedy 15:57 – The power of seeking disconfirming evidence and running experiments 17:21 – Why this channel covers everything from China to inflation to Cold War 2.0 18:14 – Progress over dogma: keeping your mental model updated 18:41 – Final challenge: Build something legendary together CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code IMPACT at check out Monarch Money: Use code THEORY at https://monarchmoney.com for 50% off your first year!

Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn's story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.  [Original air date: 7-27-21].

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on November 25, 2021. It was reported that roughly 1 in 20 people report having at least one hallucination in a lifetime. Maybe it was drug induced or simply a dream. Either way, how is it that you can have vivid imagery about what feels like reality in the moment? Dr. Jonas Kaplan joins Tom in this conversation to discuss all the ways your brain is filling in the gaps of its own break in knowledge. The brain is truly fascinating to study and so important to understand when you want to be more open-minded and question your beliefs or get a better perception of and understanding of what reality truly is. Part of seeing reality as it really is versus how your brain predicts it to be is coming face to face with information that challenges the beliefs you hold. Jonas and Tom explore research studies that reveal the freaky nature of how our brains really work and ways you can hack your way past the overprotective nature of your brain.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, get ready as I pull back the curtain on some of the most important moves happening on the global stage—and give you my unfiltered, no-nonsense take on what they really mean for you and the future. My co-host Drew and I tackle everything from Trump's headline-grabbing Middle East negotiations, to the true impact of $600 billion+ in U.S.-Saudi tech and infrastructure deals, to the double-edged sword of “commerce as a bridge” between clashing cultures. You'll hear why I think Trump's deal-making style is both captivating and dangerous, why trying to impose American values on foreign nations is a recipe for disaster, and how culture and economic incentives really shape the world. We dig deep into the nature of power, the hard limits of nation building, why price controls on prescription drugs are a political move (but not a real solution), and the uncomfortable historical realities behind immigration, assimilation, and global order. If you're looking to flag the lines between progress and peril—or just want to understand the real levers of influence behind today's biggest news—this is an episode you don't want to miss. I'm here to give you the tools to see past the spin, break down the real consequences, and make sense of the chaos so you can win in the world that's coming. SHOWNOTES 00:00 – The most unlikely dinner ever: Flavor Flav, DMC, and comic book legend Rob Liefeld 00:06:03 – Trump's trade wins: $600B+ investment, or PR smoke and mirrors? 00:14:12 – When capitalism becomes “icky”: The dangers of government overreach 00:15:45 – Immigration, identity, and the historic “immigration game” 00:17:28 – Trade, jets, and what motivates Trump as dealmaker-in-chief 00:27:41 – The future of genetic manipulation, AI, and the return of eugenics 00:43:19 – Trump's executive order on drug pricing: political win or bad policy? 01:01:06 – Government, free markets, and why healthcare and student costs spiral 01:24:21 – Immigration, assimilation, and what truly makes a nation strong CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS ButcherBox: Ready to level up your meals?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev. SHOWNOTES 00:00 – China's 90-Day Tariff Pause: Progress or a Lifeline for Xi? 01:42 – Negotiation Tactics: Deal-Making or Getting Played? 03:48 – The Real Purpose of the 90-Day Pause 05:16 – China Can Print Money: Central Banks and Sinister Power 07:13 – Trump's Aggressive Approach: Productive Chaos? 09:14 – What's Actually Getting Done—And What's Just PR? 10:57 – Accepting a Gold-Plated Jet: Smart Move or Trojan Horse? 13:29 – Why “Greedy Capitalist” Isn't Always an Insult 15:51 – When Deals Cross the Line 18:38 – Global Trade Rebalancing: Is Win-Win Possible with China? 21:17 – Breaking Down the $600 Billion Saudi Deal 24:23 – Why Innovation Stalled—and What Competition With China Could Spark 25:54 – Instilling Inspiration vs. Self-Loathing in American Youth 29:31 – Price Fixing Big Pharma: Popular, but Ultimately Dangerous? 32:15 – Central Banks: The Fungus Beneath the Free Market 36:07 – How Drug Pricing Actually Gets Decided (and Where It Breaks Down) 39:04 – Why Price Fixing Backfires 42:36 – Cigarettes, Prisons, and the True Nature of Supply & Demand 47:14 – Drug Discovery, Innovation, and Unintended Consequences 54:58 – Culture Wars: Immigration Policy in the UK and the US 58:34 – Building the Modern Middle East—Without Western Intervention 60:48 – The Harsh Realities of Assimilation and Cultural Conflict 65:35 – What Happens When Zoning and Religion Collide? 71:19 – Demographics as Destiny: What History Teaches About Outnumbering 74:00 – Respecting Law, Freedom, and What It Means to Be American CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS ButcherBox: Ready to level up your meals?

This week's guest on Health Theory is Dr. Robert Zembroski. He is a physician, nutritionist and cancer survivor.

Tom Bilyeu is joined by Andy Weir, celebrated science fiction author best known for his bestsellers “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary.” Andy brings his trademark grounded, analytical perspective as he and Tom grapple with one of the most pressing and fascinating subjects of our time: the future of artificial intelligence. In Part 1, Andy breaks down the near- and mid-term landscape of AI's impact—from industry disruptions and the transformation of art to the coming upheaval in entertainment and personal storytelling. The conversation dives into economic inevitabilities, how AI art upends creative professions, and the paradigm shift awaiting writers, artists, and audiences alike. Andy also unpacks the deeper consequences: Are we heading toward a world without shared cultural narratives? What do ultra-personalized stories mean for society, politics, and how we connect?

Together, they dive deep into the real threats posed by China, from cyber warfare and TikTok's influence, to intellectual property theft and military ambitions in the South China Sea. Mike shares his insider perspective on just how vulnerable the U.S. population is to manipulation and misinformation, and why America's short-term focus could leave us blindsided by powers playing the long game.

Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew tackle the first 100 days of the Trump presidency—an era marked by volatility and shifting world dynamics. With signature candor and sharp analysis, Tom unpacks the ripple effects of global power plays: the destabilization of the post-WWII order, the mounting US-China economic standoff, and Ray Dalio's stark warning that massive change is inevitable. Alongside Drew, Tom interrogates the headlines, from the unpredictability of Trump's style to China's unwavering claims it can outlast American economic pain. This episode lays the intellectual groundwork for understanding our new, unstable world order—why economic and political models are breaking down, how tariffs and non-trade barriers play into global negotiations, and what lessons from history can help us decode what's coming. If you want to gain clarity in these chaotic times and learn how to build a mindset for predicting (rather than reacting to) future disruption, this conversation is essential listening.

In this solo episode, Tom Bilyeu breaks down why it feels nearly impossible to get ahead today — no matter how hard you work — and reveals the hidden force draining your wallet: government-approved counterfeiting. Welcome to the dark reality of inflation — where your money loses value while the rich get richer and politicians promise you a "free lunch" you'll ultimately pay for. But don't worry — once you understand the rules of the game, you can still learn how to win it. In this episode, Tom unpacks: Why inflation is the ultimate invisible tax How money printing secretly transfers wealth from the poor to the rich Why assets (not cash) are your only real defense How compounding inflation robs your purchasing power — faster than you think What you must do now to survive (and even thrive) during a broken financial era If you've ever wondered why your parents could buy a home with a single salary — but you're stuck living paycheck-to-paycheck — this episode is your wake-up call. The good news? Even in a rigged game, there's still a way to play — and win.

You're being lied to—by governments, by the media, and maybe even by your own sense of security. You think you understand the new Cold War brewing between the U.S. and China, but what you're missing is the real master plan for rewriting global trade, the secret moves at the IMF and World Bank, and how every headline is part of a narrative war with trillion-dollar stakes. If you think this is just about tariffs, you are not paying attention. If you think America still controls the world order, you're about to get a wake-up call. The rhetoric, the chaos, the PR battles—it's all part of a high-stakes game that most people will never see coming until it's too late. Today, we're breaking down the strategies, the hidden motivations, and the economic weapons being deployed in real time. So buckle up—because joining me is my co-host Drew, and we're about to map out the future of the global economy, the battle lines between the U.S. and China, and most importantly, what it all means for you. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, Drew and I cut through the noise on Trump's changing stance toward China tariffs, digging into whether it's chaos or calculated strategy—and why I refuse to play partisan “team sports.” We cover power struggles in the Trump administration, with Elon Musk clashing behind the scenes and Tesla's profits sinking. We also connect lessons from World War II to today's Ukraine-Russia conflict, dive into the debate over Trump's proposed “baby bonus,” and discuss what's really behind falling birth rates. To top it off, we take on the viral Shannon Sharpe OnlyFans scandal and the risks of public life. It's a fast-paced, honest look at business, politics, and culture—so tune in if you want clear thinking over tribal bickering.

Given all of the possibilities we have living in a modern society, people still struggle with feeling lost, unhappy, and unfulfilled. It's even been reported that American unhappiness hit a record low early this year. If you do a climate check with the people in your life and your social media pages, it's not hard to see that sadly behind some of the smiles, there's a feeling of unhappiness in the air. Arthur C. Brooks is the William Henry Bloomberg Professor of the Practice of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and Professor of Management Practice at the Harvard Business School. He's discussing why he felt called to explore and research the human experience and model of what actually brings us happiness. If money, fame, power, and pleasure doesn't bring permanent happiness, then what does? How can you ensure a trajectory of life that leads to happiness and fulfillment?

Tom Bilyeu is joined by his insightful co-host, Drew, to confront a cascade of world-shaking headlines and dig into their far-reaching implications. Kicking things off with a prophetic rundown of global events—ranging from the death of Pope Francis to tech innovations straight out of sci-fi—Tom and Drew tackle the convergence of geopolitics, religion, and technology like never before. Together, they examine the unique legacy of Pope Francis, the strategic genius (and missteps) in religious recruitment, and the historic moments that shaped global culture. The conversation then pivots to the U.S. Supreme Court's surprise late-night injunction on immigration issues, as Tom dissects the tension between due process, executive power, and the present-day political landscape. Interwoven are reflections on good governance, the rise of the “dumb voter” problem, and the essential role of free speech in a society hungry for truth and self-determination.
