Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this electrifying live episode, Tom dives headfirst into some of the most contentious issues making headlines today—from Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive accusations against Obama, to protests in Ukraine, and the UK’s controversial carbon credit pilot programs. Joined by Producer Drew, the conversation unpacks the wild landscape of modern politics, including the rise of extreme ideologies on both sides, the dangers of jailing political opponents, and the psychological underpinnings driving populist movements.
Tom also reflects on his own evolution—from sharing mindset hacks that built his billion-dollar company, to now focusing on the cause-and-effect realities driving economic and political shifts. Throughout, Tom and Drew don’t shy away from messy debates, exploring everything from “woke” dynamics on the far right, to the perils of unchecked groupthink, to the potentially transformative—and terrifying—impact of advances in AI. If you’re ready for a thought-provoking journey that challenges narratives and digs deep into the forces shaping our world, you won’t want to miss this episode. So buckle up, stay curious, and get ready to map the real cause and effect with Impact Theory!
