In this special 100th episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into today's most pressing issues—from the chaos of government shutdowns and the relentless battle over healthcare, to the power of propaganda in mainstream media and the economic forces shaping our society. They break down the realities behind headline-grabbing policies, exposing how both sides of the political spectrum spin the narrative and why it's critical to do your own research before forming opinions. You'll hear Tom's unfiltered take on the dangers of “revolutionary empathy,” inspired by Eric Weinstein's insights, and how shifts in empathy and radical polarization are fueling a climate ripe for violence and unrest. The conversation also explores the harsh truths of wealth inequality, the illusion of economic progress, and why the stock market's highs aren't translating to a better life for most Americans. Drew brings in sharp counterpoints and timely clips—touching on everything from mass media censorship to the controversial culture wars playing out in children's entertainment and on social platforms. Plus, there's a candid look at the escalation of global conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, and how warfare is evolving in ways that stretch far beyond the battlefield. Through it all, Tom emphasizes the importance of personal empowerment: how individuals can still win—economically and mentally—despite a society seemingly stacked against them. Buckle up for an intense, eye-opening, and occasionally hilarious episode packed with actionable advice, hard truths, and a call to cut through the noise in pursuit of real understanding. This is Impact Theory—raw, real, and relentlessly focused on helping you thrive.

What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu, and today we are diving headfirst into the chaos of our current moment—government shutdowns, ballooning deficits, and political gridlock like we haven't seen since the last time Washington came to a standstill. This episode, I'm joined by my co-host Drew, and together we're breaking down what's really at stake when politicians use the American people as leverage—and why true leadership means having the discipline to give people not what they want, but what they actually need. We're also tackling one of the most pressing and misunderstood financial conversations of our time—from the fallout of the government's spending spree to the future of money in a rapidly digitizing world. Along the way, we'll talk Bitcoin, stablecoins, and why understanding digital assets isn't just for Wall Street insiders anymore—it's vital for anyone who wants to thrive in the economy of the future. You're going to leave this episode with a no-nonsense playbook for what to look for in real leaders, how to navigate financial uncertainty, and why it's critical to develop your own point of view—beyond political labels and media noise. This is an episode for anyone who refuses to be a passive bystander in their own life—someone who wants actionable insights to become anti-fragile in uncertain times. So, if you're ready to cut through the BS, challenge your thinking, and set yourself up to not just survive, but win—stick around.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive straight into today's most pressing global issues and the ways they're shaping our world—from the unexpected twists in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Trump's controversial stance, to the role of America and Europe in a rapidly changing global landscape. Tom offers his signature, no-nonsense analysis on what Trump's perspective could mean for the future of the war in Ukraine, why prolonged conflict is so dangerous, and how narrative control—in both politics and media—continues to polarize societies. The conversation doesn't stop at geopolitics; the hosts candidly explore recent controversies from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue and the evolving debate over free speech, censorship, and how platforms like YouTube shape public discourse. Plus, they unpack the latest on medical misinformation, health advice trends, the role of the UN and NATO, and the ever-volatile situation in Israel and Palestine. Throughout, Tom and Drew aren't shy about challenging assumptions on both sides—whether it's the cultural dynamics in Russia, the ethics of protest, or the necessity of difficult conversations in a time where emotions and misinformation can run high. So if you're ready for an honest, nuanced, and high-energy breakdown of the headlines you can't ignore—and maybe a little wisdom about how we all react to authority—this episode is for you.

Picking up right where Part 1 left off, Tom Bilyeu and Mike Benz dive even deeper into the shadowy world of influence operations, modern censorship, and information warfare. In this second half, Benz unravels how the censorship-industrial complex formed, the role of AI and social media in real-time narrative control, and the profound consequences of Elon Musk's purchase of X (Twitter) on global discourse and populist uprisings. Tom presses Mike on the “why” behind the intense manipulation of platforms, revealing that the ability to shape language and thought at scale isn't a partisan game—it's about preserving the interests of entrenched stakeholders across the globe. As global populist movements surge and increasingly polarized narratives grip the world—from America to Germany, the UK, and beyond—Tom and Mike scrutinize the connective tissue animating these phenomena. They explore how radical activists are intentionally seeded and activated by NGOs for regime change; what happens when the playbook is turned inward; and how collateral damage is created when hearts and minds are exploited with little regard for social unity. Mike makes the case for radical transparency as the antidote to soft power abuse, arguing that America can remain formidable on the world stage without turning its own institutions into black boxes. If you want to understand why our world feels so unstable—and what it might take to reform it—this is the conversation you cannot miss.

Part 1 Shownotes In this eye-opening first part of a special two-part episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with Mike Benz—former State Department official, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, media, and soft power. Benz unpacks the tangled web of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the shifting dynamics of global influence, and how soft power has supplanted traditional warfare in the modern era. Tom and Mike go deep into the true origins and motivations behind NGOs, illuminating how many of these organizations operate as statecraft tools, intelligence fronts, and economic levers for the world's elite. From the rise of philanthropic organizations as vehicles for influence to the coordinated manipulation of global media, Part 1 shines a light on the hidden infrastructure behind democracy building, narrative control, and regime change. Mike exposes the intricate interplay between hedge funds, government foreign policy, media, and activism—detailing how policy and profit become inextricably linked through a process he dubs "drafting off of policy." If you've ever questioned who really pulls the strings behind elections, color revolutions, and the headlines you read every day, this episode will give you a radical new lens through which to see the world.

This is a fan fav episode. If you're about that hustle culture life then you've either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat? Matt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he's vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve. The plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald's and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He's sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn't the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you're more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success. This conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt Higgins shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option. Eliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom and his co-host Drew jump straight into the thick of current societal and political tensions ripping through America—from digital manipulation and global disinformation, to the divisive battles over identity, gender, and violence. Drawing from recent news cycles and online controversies, Tom and Drew dig into how global powers exploit social media to stoke division, and challenge their audience to ground themselves against the rising tide of emotion-driven narratives dominating discourse today. Together, they dissect the psychology and biology behind polarization, fulfillment, and violent tendencies, weaving insights from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and history. They also address why anger is such a motivating force—and such a dangerous one when unchecked—while mapping the intersections of male identity, cultural radicalization, gender roles, and the persistent confusion of contemporary masculinity. Part 1 promises a candid, unflinching look at how our minds, biology, and society collide, and why understanding our “biological experience” is essential to navigating the chaos of the modern world.

Tom and Drew start the conversation with the shocking revelations surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination case, analyzing the alleged text confession, media narratives, and why the dialogue feels anything but authentic. They plunge into the heated reactions online, explore the polarizing rhetoric on both the left and the right, and debate the wider implications for political discourse and free speech. The episode takes listeners beyond the headlines, unraveling everything from massive protests against immigration in the UK to Elon Musk's warnings about cultural values and the risks of societal division. The hosts aren't afraid to ask tough questions about immigration, identity, and the true meaning of national values. They fact-check viral stats, challenge assumptions about race and religion, and dissect the real heart of the “values collision” in modern society. Rounding out the show, Tom and Drew discuss the evolving battle over free speech, hate speech, and platform accountability in the digital age—bringing in high-profile voices like Elon Musk, Destiny, and Pam Bondi. As always, Tom urges listeners to zoom out and consider the international stakes, warning of the dangers of internal division and the rise of “fiscal dominance” in America's economy. Whether you're interested in media literacy, modern politics, or safeguarding free speech, today's episode serves up honest, nuanced commentary—and a powerful reminder to stay engaged, challenge your own perspective, and be vigilant about the bigger picture.

With a background as a hedge fund manager and now one of the most influential voices in artificial intelligence, Imad is here to break down why he believes the global economy as we know it is on the verge of obsolescence. Drawing insights from his book "The Last Economy," Imad explains how AI is fundamentally rewriting the rules of work, value, capital, and meaning. In part one, Tom and Imad set the stage by unraveling Imad's “Last Economy” thesis: Why existing economic measures like GDP are outdated; why the next major economic disruption isn't just about automation, but about a full intelligence inversion powered by AI; and how his innovative "MIND" framework (Material, Intelligence, Network, Diversity) helps diagnose both progress and peril in this changing world. From practical economic mathematics to the looming negative value of human labor, this conversation delivers a sobering look at the shockwaves AI is about to send through society—and the critical need to redefine how we measure flourishing and prosperity.

This episode tackles pressing issues like escalating racial tensions, the consequences of misguided policies, and how online narratives—and our emotions—are shaping the national conversation.

As news breaks about escalating political violence—including the assassination of Charlie Kirk—Tom and Drew explore the dangers of a divided nation and stress the urgent need to step back from emotional reactions, define our values, and seek solutions rooted in first principles. Whether you're concerned about where the country is heading, curious about building wealth in chaotic times, or searching for ways to bridge the cultural divide, this episode is a must-listen. Stay tuned as Tom and Drew encourage honest conversations and challenge us all to pick narratives that move us—and the country—towards a better future. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into a whirlwind week of shocking headlines, deep societal concerns, and astonishing technology breakthroughs. The conversation kicks off with heavy-hitting current events: a public tragedy involving Charlie Kirk, the ripple effects of political violence, social media-fueled outrage, and what these events signify about where our nation—and the world—may be heading. Tom delivers a sobering call for unity and reflection, warning against falling into divisive, reactionary mindsets that escalate conflict rather than bridge understanding. The conversation is raw and real, touching on issues like race, media narratives, and how populist moments push society to the brink. Together, Tom and Drew navigate complex topics—from tragic train violence and the responsibilities of media, to America's escalating economic challenges and what fiscal dominance really means for us all. But it's not all doom and gloom—there's also awe at the pace of innovation. The episode spotlights developments like near-telepathic wearables and OpenAI's major push into AI-generated animation, reflecting on what these advancements mean for creativity, communication, and the future of work. Throughout, Tom and Drew challenge listeners to think from first principles, seek common ground, and understand the deeper causes fueling today's conflicts. Whether it's deconstructing economic strategies, exploring the psychology behind team vs. team mentalities, or pondering the responsibilities tied to technological power, this episode is a powerful reminder to react with vision rather than fear.

Part 2 – Escaping the Inflation Trap: What's Next for America, Bitcoin, and Your Wealth In the dramatic second half of this essential conversation, Tom Bilyeu and Lyn Alden chart the turbulent path ahead for the U.S. economy, the fate of government entitlements, and the role of assets like Bitcoin and real estate as lifeboats in a sea of currency debasement. Lyn offers insider-level guidance on how investors and ordinary people can adapt, protect themselves, and even thrive as the current system buckles under its own weight. This part gets tactical: Lyn breaks down her investing playbook for a world ruled by persistent money-printing, explains why governments and corporations are wrestling with the Bitcoin question, and discusses why the “soft default” through inflation is already underway. Tom and Lyn tackle difficult truths about the future of Social Security, social unrest, and wealth redistribution—and where hope and opportunity still exist. If you want answers, strategy, and clarity on surviving the era of fiscal dominance, this episode is unmissable.

In today's special Q&A deep dive, Tom and co-host Drew respond directly to your hottest takes and burning questions inspired by their recent viral video, “The Things That Happened Right Before Collapse.” Together, they tackle wide-ranging topics—exploring America's mounting debt crisis, inflation, the struggle of average people to get ahead, and the growing wealth gap that's fueling frustration across the country. Tom delivers his famously unfiltered perspective on why the U.S. economy is in far deeper trouble than many people realize, challenging conventional wisdom about reserve currencies, military might, and the government's ability to ‘soft default' through inflation. He breaks down how these forces squeeze the middle class and details the predictable historical cycles—referencing everything from the fall of past empires to today's socioeconomic malaise. The conversation also dives into passionate debates from the comment section, from capitalism versus socialism to debt forgiveness, and practical advice for protecting yourself in uncertain times. Tom and Drew address critics head-on, unpack common misconceptions about asset ownership, and even discuss the emotional side of wealth and purpose.

This is a fan fav episode. We are living through interesting times where gender roles are an ongoing heated discussion. Tempers and passion flare from all sides, but what we cannot ignore is the damage being done to both boys and girls. There have been intense movements that even though they are noble they have caused damage along the way socially in the psyche of young boys and girls. If you follow Tom you've heard him say time and time again, we are all having a biological experience. What does this biological experience become when society and doctrine contradict and suppress the nature of our biological experiences? Dr. Warren Farrell joins Tom to discuss his latest book, The Boy Crisis, Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It. The resolution as Dr. Warren states begins with understanding different sides of the argument. Learning how to steel man the opposing sides' argument will help create a foundation where the real problem, lack of father involvement and fatherless homes, can be addressed for the sake of our boys (and girls).

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this lively episode, Tom is joined by his co-host Drew for a candid deep-dive into the most pressing issues shaping tech, culture, and society right now. Kicking things off, Tom takes Apple to task for missing out on AI innovation, arguing that mere incremental improvements aren't enough in a world rapidly shaped by artificial intelligence. Together, he and Drew offer a no-holds-barred exploration of tech industry leadership, unraveling why Apple's culture may be holding them back and what it would take to truly compete in the coming AI revolution. But the conversation doesn't stop at technology. Tom and Drew navigate a wide range of hot-button topics—from the gender debates driving modern society, to evolving roles in entrepreneurship in the AI era, and even the very real consequences of global conflicts like the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Along the way, they dig deep into questions from the audience, reflect on controversial moments in the news, and share personal stories about parenting, education, and the challenges of modern life.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where today's episode dives into some of the most controversial and thought-provoking headlines making waves in America right now. Tom and co-host Drew break down Trump's ongoing maneuvers—his attempt to oust a Fed board member, his executive order against flag burning, and even his push to nationalize stakes in major companies like Intel. The discussion doesn't stop at politics; Tom and Drew tackle the nuances of free speech versus incitement, using recent incidents like flag and Quran burning to explore where we draw the line as a society. They don't shy away from the economic big picture either, analyzing fiscal dominance, the future of U.S. industrial policy, and what happens when government power starts encroaching too far into the private sector. As always, Tom brings a nuanced perspective on how America's story is shaped by both its triumphs and its flaws—warning of the dangers of centralizing too much power and the unintended consequences that can follow. Plus, there's a lighter (and hilarious) look at the controversial Cracker Barrel logo change, why fast food chains all look the same now, and the consumer-driven realities behind the gray box phenomenon. And if you thought you knew where AI was headed, wait until you hear their take on the Will Smith concert footage fiasco and why we're on the brink of needing “proof of human” to believe what we see online.

In Part 2 of this explosive conversation, Tom Bilyeu continues his deep dive with Dr. Andrew Huberman, unraveling not just the biological and social traps ensnaring men, but the actionable steps required to break free. If Part 1 exposed the crisis, Part 2 provides a roadmap back to purpose, agency, and authentic accomplishment. The conversation shifts from diagnosis to actionable strategies: Andrew shares the science of goal setting, behavioral replacement, and how to tap back into the powerful circuits of dopamine and testosterone for real-world achievement. Together, Tom and Andrew explore the surprising link between order, environment, and motivation—from cleaning your room to building oceanic fish tanks—and why meaningful, generative achievement (not endless digital consumption) is the antidote. Expect challenging perspectives on what men should actually aim for in life, how gaming and virtual worlds could either empower or further entrap, and the philosophical rabbit-hole of free will, evolution, and the unsettling possibility we're simply vessels for our gut bacteria. If you want the playbook for reclaiming your biological drive and creating a legendary life, this is the conversation you need to hear.

In this eye-opening first half of Impact Theory's sit down with Dr. Andrew Huberman, acclaimed neuroscientist and host of the Huberman Lab podcast, Tom Bilyeu tackles the hidden—and not-so-hidden—forces rewiring the male mind in the digital age. If you've wondered why so many men are feeling demotivated, anxious, or isolated, Dr. Huberman's explanations will open your eyes to the deep biological and social mechanisms behind today's dopamine-driven tech traps. The duo explores the impact of social media, pornography, and platforms like OnlyFans from both a neuroscience and evolutionary biology perspective, revealing how modern technology is expertly tailored to exploit ancient reward circuitry. Dr. Huberman breaks down the unique wiring of the male brain, how testosterone and dopamine interact to drive pursuit and effort—and why these very circuits are being hijacked by addictive virtual feedback loops. Tom and Andrew dive into the evolutionary roots of male behavior, the biology of status-seeking, and how today's online environments subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, sap men's energy and ambition. This must-listen episode is essential for anyone curious about why men are struggling and what's actually happening beneath the surface of our modern digital landscape.

Tom Bilyeu delivers a powerful deep dive into the warning signs of societal collapse that are blinking red across America. He draws on lessons from history—citing the downfalls of the Roman Empire, the USSR, Argentina, and more—to show how debt spirals, the hollowing out of the middle class, collapsing trust, and rising populism are patterns we've seen before, and are seeing again right now. Tom breaks down why these cycles are so hard to interrupt, why common solutions like socialism and “just grow the economy” fall short, and most importantly, he lays out a practical playbook for not just surviving, but thriving during chaotic times. From protecting yourself with assets and skills, to finding business-friendly environments, Tom gets specific about what you can do to come out stronger on the other side—because every collapse hurts most, but creates unprecedented opportunity for a prepared few. If you care about your future, and the future of the country, this is an urgent and actionable listen.
