Taking Action: Embracing Commitment and Health Transformation

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?
