QUOTES: “If you can't then understand your own physiology to a level where you can fix that without needing more technology, you're gonna fail. That's a short game. And I want you to play the long game.” [5:49]
“The first thing would be simply becoming aware of what's happening. And the easiest way to do that is to decrease the amount of external stimuli coming in, and just being with your own self as much as possible” [4:13]
“And what we know very clearly is the plasticity within the muscle, n other words, its ability to change its composition, changes really rapidly. So if you haven't strength trained on anything heavy in weeks, decades, I'm not surprised you have a hard time regulating that 'cause that's what it's primarily there for.” [18:08]
“There's a difference between variation in our training and randomization. Randomization is not a good idea. There's no plan. There's no purpose.” [18:37]
“What is magic for sleep is consistency for the most part. What I don't want people to be is slightly consistently underslept.” [22:04]
“I don't want people to be fragile. Not handling any unplanned stress. If you can't handle any unplanned stress in any aspect of your life and a little bit of stress, causes a big problem.” [29:56]
“Some people got a good draw and made bad choices. Some people got a really, really tough draw. Okay. What are you gonna do about it? You still have an option. You still kind of have some control but you have to make that choice.” [46:43]

#125 Patrick Bet-David on Why You’ll Never Be Able to Silence Your Haters
46:48
It makes sense Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David admires Arnold Schwarzenegger the way he does. Both embody the story of immigrants with the odds stacked against them that used adversity, self-evaluation, and a body-builder mentality to re-write their own narrative. The author of 25 Laws to Doing the Impossible shares how he shaped his mindset to achieve the impossible on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. This episode is sponsored by:
SHOW NOTES: Patrick details what attracted him to bodybuilding and what he learned from it. [3:13] Patrick shares what Arnold Schwarzenegger represents to him. [4:38] Patrick analyzes the role DNA and experiences play in our potential. [9:18] Patrick speaks on the power of clarity. [15:00] Patrick and Tom discuss the process of shaping your identity. [17:30] Patrick dives into living with intention and urgency. [22:08] Patrick explains the power of not caring what other people think. [28:31] Patrick explores the idea of family traditions. [34:29] Patrick details his belief of aligning lifestyle with belief. [37:50] Patrick reveals the impact he wants to have on the world. [38:57] QUOTES: “I also believe firmly that events, conversations, certain individuals can completely say something that can change your life forever.” [14:40] “One of the scariest things about life is a question. The scary question can shake a soul up 'cause no one's asked that question from you. So for me, the transition for somebody who'd want to change it and get clarity is actually asking questions.” [15:38] “If you don't ask the questions of what you want to do next, the world is gonna put you in the box of what you have to do next because they're determining who you need to be. And you are rising up to their expectations 'cause you're not asking the questions yourself.” [15:50] “Clarity to me is stemmed from you being able to sit down and ask those tough questions that piss you off, that irritate you, that make you emotional, that you cry over, that you reflect, that makes you want to do research, that makes you follow up, that makes you sit down and say, "I don't really know. I've never thought about this before." And that goes deeper, and deeper, and deeper.” [16:08] “Clarity gives confidence.” [16:55] “Identity is you asking the questions until eventually you get to a point that you get to the deeper part of who do you want to be? What life do you want to live? And why do you want to live this life? Why is it important to you? Why is it worth you putting through all these hours? Why would you want to do that?” [22:20] “I think declaring the intention serves a purpose. I think when you go out there and you say, "This is what I'm gonna be doing, this is where I'm gonna be at," you officially have the world holding you accountable.” [23:10] “Haters highlight your weaknesses.” [29:48] “The more you tell the world how to manage expectations dealing with you and what to anticipate, you actually minimize a lot of the noise.” [33:33] “The solution for you to become free is you gotta question every single thing” [36:50] FOLLOW PATRICK BET-DAVID: WEBSITE - https://bit.ly/30XeIfU FACEBOOK - https://bit.ly/2HMSy8p TWITTER - https://bit.ly/2HOxNJu INSTAGRAM - https://bit.ly/2KkGQUu LINKEDIN - https://bit.ly/2wztb3u BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The 25 Laws to Doing the Impossible - https://amzn.to/2QFPjCD [2:44] Meditations - https://amzn.to/2allL7m [35:56] Principles - https://amzn.to/2HMSnKh [35:58] VIDEOS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Life of an Entrepreneur - https://bit.ly/1ShhMss [2:06] COMPANIES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: PHP - https://bit.ly/2WnfrIR [1:27] Valuetainment - https://bit.ly/1IybV1h [2:17] |

#103 Wim Hof on The One Trick That Makes You Immune To Illness

He’s stayed immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13 minutes and 48 seconds.

#101 David Goggins on How to Become A Savage & Live On Your Own Terms
57:20
David Goggins has earned himself the reputation of “toughest man alive” and it’s a reputation well deserved. He is the former world record holder for the most pull-ups done in 24 hours. He once ran 205 miles in 39 hours without stopping. And he’s completed more than 60 ultra-endurance events in his career. He started all this after telling himself that he was the weakest man alive. Impact Theory is proudly sponsored by:
SHOWNOTES Emotional beings are living at about 40% of their ability - survival mechanism that protects you from pain and suffering [4:20] Why your mind has a tactical advantage over you (pushes you towards comfort) [5:10] Where Goggins’ 40% rule kicks in [6:50] Why you have to face the real you if you want to change and how Goggins uses an accountability mirror to gut-check himself [8:08] Why you need to tell people the truth about who you are if you ever want to change [18:43] How Goggins stopped feeling sorry for himself [19:47] Why people don’t start the journey of becoming who they’re capable of becoming (Hint: most people are content to pose as someone else) [24:41] The super-hardcore way Goggins deals with a learning disability (you can apply this philosophy to literally anything and you’ll wind up more successful than you ever dreamed) [23:54] Why Goggins says everybody is searching for the easy way out and how to make sure you’re not like that [26:14] Tom’s drug of choice (Goggins likes it too) [32:10] How to find your passion in what Goggins calls “the bag of f*ck” and use your insecurities to transform yourself [36:50] How Goggins measures the success of his life [38:16] Why you have to dive into a sack of sh*t to find more about yourself [40:18] This is the most important conversation you’ll ever have in your life [41:37] The impact Goggins wants to have in the world. [47:29] “You gain knowledge through suffering. And on the other end of suffering is a world that very few have ever seen - it’s a beautiful world because that’s where you find yourself.” [28:16] “Mediocrity is contagious.” [29:18] “I viewed myself as the weakest person on the planet earth - my goal in life was to in my mind believe I’m the hardest man alive.” [35:00] “Life is one big head game and once you learn how to play the motherfucking head game, it’s not a game anymore at all. You can start living your life.” [48:06] |

48:43
Yuval Noah Harari is a New York Times bestselling author whose books have sold over 12 million copies and translated into more than 45 languages. He’s often referred to as one of the most profound thinkers of our time. And in this episode you will see why…
Impact Theory is proudly sponsored by:
SHOWNOTES How algorithms will learn to understand you better than you understand yourself (and why you could be replaced by one) [5:03] Why corporations will even be able to predict your sexual orientation… [8:50] The reality of outsourcing the self-discovery process… [12:27] How algorithms will change the way we make art… [15:49] Can AI save us from cancer? (See how it’s possible, but decide for yourself if it's dangerous)... [18:10] The battle between privacy and health... [19:29] How to take control of the story you tell yourself and why you need to stop thinking of your life as a movie… [21:09] Why we’re heading into the direction of immortality and the future is just a series of massive disruptions [28:44] Why you need to continuously reinvent yourself if you want to survive to 2035. [30:01] The two most important tools you will need to succeed in the world of AI (and they’re not what you think). [32:05] Why Yuval believes that science fiction is the most important artistic genre… [34:25] See what Yuval has to say about the world’s 3 biggest challenges… [37:29]
“When infotech merges with biotech what you get is the ability to create algorithms that understand me better than I understand myself.” [5:20] “Maybe the most important thing in life is to get to know yourself better. But for all of history this was a process of self-exploration which you did from things like meditation, sports, or art, and complementation. But what does it mean when the process of self-exploration is being outsourced to a big data algorithm? The philosophical implications are mind-boggling.” [12:34] “The story of your life is made of bits and pieces and it only makes sense" [23:50]

And we have shared meanings when we support each other. When you share your vision of the world and I share mine or when we challenge each other's ideas, but it all comes by bringing people together.” [22:58] FOLLOW VISHEN LAKHIANI: WEBSITE - https://bit.ly/2nWmjGZ PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Ray Kurzweil - https://bit.ly/1hro1XM [5:04] BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind - https://amzn.to/2rIcjV9 [2:06] Altered Traits - https://amzn.to/2j8ogmp [8:10] COMPANIES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Mindvalley - https://bit.ly/2OCb1tr [0:42] STUDIES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Superbrain - https://bit.ly/2ypQxKs [28:16] |

#95 Rich Roll on Why Your Excuses Will Ruin You
44:14
Ultra-athlete Rich Roll turned the pain of his alcohol addiction and health problems into an age-defying endurance career. His practical process for reaching spiritual, mental, and physical clarity is what empowered him to transform himself on every level. The author of Finding Ultra breaks down the steps to find out what you really want in life on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
Impact Theory is proudly sponsored by:
SHOW NOTES: Rich touches on his relationship with pain and leveraging it for success. [3:04] QUOTES: “Pain is truly the only thing that's ever gotten me to change. So, it's been my growth accelerator as well as my reminder of when I've gone astray.” [3:38] "If we can develop that, the wherewithal to have the awareness around the circumstances surrounding whatever event it is, that you can leverage that crack in the door, that door cracking open, or that line in the sand to make some significant changes.” [12:40] “I can tell you that I'm happiest and most alive when I'm butting up against the outer edges of my pain threshold” [14:40] “I think that most people set the wrong goals for themselves, and it's because they're disconnected from who they are. They are living someone else's life, or they're living a life that's so disconnected from who they are that ... And they're living a life that they didn't consciously choose for themselves, and because they don't have a healthy relationship with themselves, with their interior life, it becomes very difficult to set the right goals.” [24:01] “It's easy to say, I'm an outlier. But, I'm not. I really am not anything special. I had the courage and the audacity to pursue these things. And, in so doing, I have realized that human potential is malleable. We're all sitting atop massive reservoirs of untapped potential and ability.” [35:35]

#94 Caspar Craven on One Simple Change That Will Change Your Entire Life
48:29
Entrepreneur Caspar Craven learned what proper teamwork can accomplish when he, his wife and 3 young children sailed around the world to recalibrate their struggling lives and marriage. All aspects of the trip taught him the tools to effectively lead a group and your life in the right direction. The author of How the Magic Happens shares what it takes to change the narrative of your story on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
SHOW NOTES:
QUOTES: “So when people told us all the reasons that we couldn't do it, sometimes those reasons come across so powerfully they sound like facts. But they're just opinions. And it's really important to remember that distinction. That they are only opinions.” [10:42] “And the only thing that matters is your reaction to whatever comes up. Because you know in life, in business, stuff's going to come up at some point. You just don't know what it is. And it's all about your reaction, how you deal with that....” [20:05] “I always think that the things that will make you thrive in business, are exactly the same things that will make you thrive in a family.” [25:15] “I've got friends who have got boats who were going to go sailing around the world at the same time as we were. They're still in England, they haven't left because they are waiting for perfect. It doesn't exist. Figure out what are the really big things, get on the way, and then trust yourself, you'll be able to figure out those things as you go along.” [26:46] “The thing that I've learnt, whenever I get to a point where I don't know the answer, I feel the frustration building up in me, map coming down off the wall, that sort of stuff. I now know that's a trigger, I've got to go and learn something.” [31:46]

#90 Dean Graziosi on The Secret Habits of the Ultra Successful
48:54
Real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist Dean Graziosi embodied the “mind over matter” practice to extraordinary levels. By taking control of and transforming his mindset he was able to stop being defined by a past of family struggles and failing businesses, and start writing the story he wanted to live. The author of Millionaire Success Habits explains why getting out of your own way is the key to success on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
Impact Theory is proudly sponsored by:
SHOW NOTES: Dean shares how seeing his parents struggle motivated him. [2:25] Dean and Tom discuss how to find the things you’re good at and discover your version of success.

[21:14] Dean explains the role confidence plays in success. [25:43] Dean breaks down some of the common myths about money. [29:57] Dean reveals the impact he wants to have on the world. [37:32]
QUOTES: “Every time I align my values, my soul, my purpose, whatever it is you want to call it, with my businesses or my profits, they always soar without having to obsess on the numbers.” [9:25] “What stands between us and where we want to go is never what we think it is. It's not the economy, it's not the president. It's not that somebody already dominated the health food industry or dominated Facebook advertising or dominated TV advertising or there's no room left. It's never that. It's always the story we tell ourselves and why we can't achieve that.” [11:03] “I don't think we should drive for money. I think we should drive to be a better version of ourselves.” [30:31]

#89 LeVar Burton on The Secret to Believing In Yourself
43:26
Having roles on Reading Rainbow, Star Trek, and Roots might be enough for many to coast off of but LeVar Burton refuses to get comfortable. Year after year he’s kept his passion in the industry alive by approaching every new opportunity with the conviction of a pro and the curiosity of a beginner. The man behind the LeVar Burton Kids educational company shares why the most important part of chasing goals is the journey itself on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
Impact Theory is proudly sponsored by:
SHOW NOTES: LeVar reflects on gaining early success and not letting it overwhelm him. [3:00] LeVar shares the keys to longevity and staying curiosity. [7:36] LeVar gives advice for people having trouble finding their passion. [17:30] LeVar describes what good leadership looks like. [23:03] LeVar touches on the sci-fi’s ability to manifest dreams. [27:20] LeVar reveals the impact he wants to have on the world. [34:05]
QUOTES:
“You have to be willing to be open, to be humble and to be willing to acknowledge that you're in a process, you're on a journey.” [7:10]
“I think self-love is all about pushing yourself, demanding of yourself that you stretch and reach your boundaries.” [13:11]
“I think I've learned as much from my failures as I have from my successes perhaps more.” [15:25]
“Passion is the antidote to self-doubt because when you're in your passion space, you don't have time to have all that negative talk invade your thought process. When you're in your passion, you're leaning forward in the world. When you're in your passion space, you're actually looking for a way to be effective. You see yourself as more of a tool, more of an advocate for whatever it is that your play. Passion is the antidote for everything, for laziness, for self-doubt. It's passion that gets me through the day.” [16:48]

QUOTES: “I think about all the times I really became a better person or a smarter person it's because of something that was very hurtful, or painful, or an unpleasant experience.” [5:10] “I think you shouldn't just not try because you have to pay your dues.” [8:25] “I think a big part of finding what's right for you is stop confining yourself to a path that you've been convinced is the path.” [9:30] “The universe may like the law of attraction, but it likes a good hustle even more.” [21:44] “There's no tips and tricks. There's just a lot of work. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of focused work. And that's the biggest message I can drive home is that of course there's practices and things you can do, but you need to stop making excuses. You need to put your head down. And you need to make a plan. And then you need to execute the plan.” [25:38] “If you're not truly in tune with your biggest teammate, which is yourself, there's no way you can succeed. You need to know yourself really well.” [31:38] “Impact is not just affecting millions. It's affecting the one or two people that get impacted with creative solutions.” [45:17] “If you mix creativity with hustling hard, any job position, anything you want to become is possible. Show people what your value is. And then they'll pay you for your value.” [47:23]
