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.
