Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu!  In today’s episode, Vivek Ramaswamy and I are dissecting the pressing issues facing our society today, including corruption in politics, the media, and the justice system.  Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur, politician, and a former candidate for the Republican Party nomination in the 2024 United States presidential election. He’s also an outspoken critic of what he views as prosecutorial abuse and the politicization of the justice system. We touch on:  - Concerns and Ideas about Societal Direction  - Division and Influence of Media Institutions - Free Speech & Political Unity - Creating a Performance-Focused Culture - Questioning Unified American Identity - Shift from America 1.0 and Self-Governance - Empowerment through Personal Responsibility - Mutual Respect, Societal Metrics, Civic Equality and Historical Disregard - Vision for Rebuilding Media Institutions like Buzzfeed - Cultural Tone and National Leaders - Election Day & Improving the Election Processes - Politicization of the Justice System - Restoring National Unity Don’t miss this conversation as we delve deep into the current landscape of societal ideas that seem detached from tangible results; the critical need for balancing individual rights with group support and authentic citizen engagement in media; the need for personal responsibility in society; the implications of evolving political divides; and a collective reflection on what it means to be American.  This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don’t miss Part 2 of this convo for even more insights from Vivek Ramaswamy.

The banking crisis we’re experiencing has us at a tipping point we can’t ignore. Hopefully it's causing you to be more thoughtful about money, what it really is, how it works, and how you can better leverage it. The banking system is set up in a way that encourages hyperinflation and incentivizes more debt and investment strategies as a hedge against inflation. The current $8 trillion dollar bailout package happening over the last three years is 10 times over the 2008 bailouts! This is for sure cause for alarm. Robert Breedlove has been the bitcoin philosopher and thought leader for hundreds of millions of people. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft will grab your attention when you hear about inflation from the context of systemic theft. How many more trillions of dollars will the Fed continue to print and how many more banks will have to collapse before we have your full attention on the economic disaster happening?

Roughly 1% of the world is said to be millionaires, and the fraction of the worldwide population that are billionaires are even fewer. So, no bullsh*t, what does it take to become a billionaire, or even a millionaire. The answer comes down to habits and mindset. Ultra-successful people think and move differently from everyone else. You may have heard Jim Rohn’s quote, “successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” This applies across the board. If billion dollar status is a goal, and being ultra wealthy and successful is high on your list of priorities, start today with your habits. Focus on the right things that create forward progress, ask the hard questions, and question everything. In this episode, 5 ultra-successful guests share what it takes and explain the inner workings and habits you can start to adopt and apply immediately. Dean Graziosi is an entrepreneur and investor that changed his life through real estate. Robin Sharma, former attorney turned leadership expert, has written books such as The 5 AM Club and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari changed his life through spirituality. Ed Mylett is a peak performance expert and author of The Power of One More. Patrick Bet-David is the ultra-successful businessman from humble beginnings and author of Your Next Five Moves. Tim Ferris is an entrepreneur and investor that started the mega successful “4-Hour” self help series among other popular best selling books. “It is incredibly empowering to know that your future is in your hands.” Keanu Reeves [Original air date: 6-30-22].

In today’s era of ever-accelerating change, it might seem impossible to predict the future with any degree of accuracy. Likewise, it might be easy to assume that the only way to do so is through sophisticated AI algorithms and data science. Incredibly, Jane McGonigal and her colleagues at Institute for the Future have been able to predict several of today’s most disruptive trends as much as ten years in advance. Through her innovative use of alternate reality games, hyper-specific journaling techniques, and something called “future backcasting”, Jane continues to not only lay out seemingly impossible future scenarios, but also help prepare people to be proactive in building the future they want to see. If you like what you see in today’s episode, then I highly encourage you to check out Jane’s latest book, Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything―Even Things That Seem Impossible Today Order your copy by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3JwImO2 [Original air date: 4-12-22].

If you’re one that avoids economic news, politics, and global matters you may want to pause and lean into this conversation as an objective view of reality with historical context. These are scary uncertain times we’re living through with an entire banking system failing, politics with one agenda to divide the country, and the battle for global power. With the economic crisis unfolding before us, you have a decision to make on how you respond in this moment. No one can tell you what is best for you, but as Ray Dalio puts it, he wants you to at least understand the mechanics of what is happening so you can do your own analysis of what’s best for you. Ray Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater, a billionaire investor, and bestselling author, joins Tom for a sobering conversation about the obvious problems with banking causing its collapse and the moment in time we’re facing with global conflicts on the rise. The emphasis is on understanding the mechanics and knowing what to look for and how you’ll respond. Ray shares valuable insights on the way banking works, why the collapse of SVB was obvious, the 6 cycle trend that sees the rise and fall of empires, and 3 tiers of security you can put in place for yourself.

The launch of ChatGPT broke records in consecutive months between December 2022 and February 2023. Over 1 billion users a month for ChatGPT, over 100,000 users and $45 million in revenue for Jasper A.I., and the race to adopting A.I. at scale has begun. Does the global adoption of artificial intelligence have you concerned or apprehensive about what’s to come? On one hand it’s easy to get caught up in the possibilities of co-existing with A.I. living the enhanced upgraded human experience. We already have tech and A.I. integrated into so many of our daily habits and routines: Apple watches, ora rings, social media algorithms, chat bots, and on and on. Yoshua Bengio has dedicated more than 30 years of his computer science career to deep learning. He’s an award winning computer scientist known for his breakthroughs in artificial neural networks. Why after 3 decades contributing to the advancement of A.I. systems is Yoshua now calling to slow down the development of powerful A.I. systems? This conversation is about being open-minded and aware of the dangers of AI we all need to consider from the perspective of one of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence. Conscious computers, A.I. trolls, and the evolution of machines and what it means to be a neural network are just a few of the things you’ll find interesting in this conversation.

With talks of a global recession on the rise, there is no better time to put your growth mindset to work. Are you ready to revolutionize the way you think about money, inflation and the impending recession? Chief Executive Money Nerd at Minority Mindset Companies from Punjab, India, Jaspreet Singh has been putting in the work to spread financial education and opportunity on YouTube for years. The goal of this episode is to get you to understand what money really is and give you the knowledge you need to change how you’re using it in your day to day life. The majority of people will unfortunately continue to become poor and the harsh reality for many is that they won’t even see what’s happening in time if at all. We are dedicated to pulling people out of the matrix and helping them see that human potential is nearly limitless. That includes getting people to see the objective truth about the government's role in the financial system, who the Feds are, and how wealthy, financially educated people think and use money differently from poor, financially uneducated people. Tom openly shares his example of how you can be a good entrepreneur and bad investor from not asking the right questions. You can start turning the tables and making better decisions to not just prepare for a potential recession, but to also start building real wealth. It’s all mindset, it’s a growth mindset and a minority mindset when you’re willing to learn and understand who your teachers are.

Some people are more motivated by bad news while others are paralyzed in fear. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are two Evolutionary Biologists that give you the facts, discoveries and observations as they see it. Tom reads a direct quote from their latest book that says, “We are headed for collapse. Civilization is becoming incoherent around us.” Bret and Heather break down fundamental ideas behind what humans have learned from evolution for thousands of years, how corrupt the science community has become, and how to parent your children with the goal of mitigating risks while they are younger. These biologists are incredibly fascinating with novel ideas of what adaptation would look like for humans if we are careful and intentional.  SHOW NOTES:  0:00 | Introduction to Bret & Heather 0:30 | Headed for a Collapse 3:02 | Learning From Evolution 6:43 | How Are Humans Fish? 13:18 | Solving Novel Problems 18:37 | Redefining Language & Jargon 27:03 | Defining What Science Is 34:14 | Corrupted Science Incentives 39:50 | Break Down Of Society 44:04 | Evolutionary Toolkit 48:27 | Recover from Helicopter Parents 55:34 | Prepare Children for Risks 1:04:41 | Rite of Passage 1:07:05 | The Fourth Frontier 1:15:22 | Steady State Craftsmanship 1:20:59 | Value of Liberty  SPONSORS: NetSuite has extended its one-of-a-kind flexible financing program for a few more weeks!

The meteoric rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past years just goes to show that even something as ubiquitous as money is ripe for disruption. And even though crypto is a space that many of us are just beginning to understand, its principles call into question the validity of the existing fiat monetary system. In his latest book, The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization, Dr. Saifedean Ammous sets out to do just that. Using the first principles thinking that he used to write his bestselling book, The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Ammous analyzes the history of fiat currency, the shift away from the gold standard, and the economic, social and political fallout that came as a result.
