Introducing How I disrupted a $671 billion industry from my bedroom from Secret Leaders with Dan Murray-Serter & Chris Donnelly .Follow the show: Secret Leaders with Dan Murray-Serter & Chris Donnelly Every entrepreneur dreams of disrupting an industry, but few have done it as boldly as today's guest. In this episode, we dive into the story of a visionary who took on billion-dollar skincare giants like L'Oréal and Nivea—without any prior industry experience—and became the #1 men's skincare brand in France. He rejected conventional practices, bypassed traditional retail, and found success by challenging the status quo in one of the most established markets imaginable.What makes this conversation even more fascinating is how our guest spotted what the beauty behemoths overlooked: their greatest strengths had turned into their biggest weaknesses. Their size, reliance on traditional retail, and outdated strategies blinded them to how men actually want to shop for skincare products. Our guest’s innovative approach disrupted the industry and proved that sometimes, the most obvious opportunities are the ones industry leaders are too entrenched to see.Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking to identify a market gap or someone ready to challenge industry giants, this episode is packed with insights on how to seize opportunities hiding in plain sight. Tune in to discover the strategies behind this ground-breaking success and learn how to apply them to your own business journey.______________________________________Sign up to Wise Business banking:https://wise.com/gb/business/?utm_sou...Thanks to HP our sponsor for this episode.

Welcome back to the Tom Bilyeu Show! In today's discussion, Tom and Producer Drew delve into the fascinating and controversial realm of artificial intelligence and its potential to manipulate human perception. Centered around a provocative tweet by David Sachs, the conversation explores the imperative of prioritizing "truth and safety" in AI development over mere "trust and safety" to prevent teaching AI how to deceive. Tom advocates for AI's role in maximizing truth-seeking while acknowledging the creative leaps AI can make, akin to human imagination. The discussion expands to concern over inherent biases in AI, the complexities of defining truth, and the balance between transparency and necessary government secrecy, especially in the international arena. With a touch on the intersection of gaming and AI's future, the hosts discuss Bilyeu's visionary project, "Project Kaizen," and how AI could revolutionize virtual worlds and personal interactions. They further explore the shift in public trust, the power of community engagement, and the rising influence of social media in shaping political discourse. This episode also touches on pressing economic issues, like the implications of TikTok's potential ban and ongoing stock market fluctuations, shedding light on the complex financial systems. Join Tom and Drew as they navigate these multifaceted topics, urging listeners to critically assess the evolving interplay between AI, government, and society.

If you’re in the middle of emotionally trying times, lost your job, death and grief over loved ones and failing relationships, we know emotional pain f*cking sucks! But what now? Sitting in these emotions forever isn’t practical or healthy. So, what are the options? Bottle it up, push those feelings aside, and push through! You’re hardcore, you’re badass, nothing is going take you out. Just don’t think about it, move on and get gritty. OR… Let the pain take over until you feel like a puddle of nothing. Everything feels hopeless, the pain is unbearable, and how could you ever smile again? Neither of these extremes are healthy ways to cope with your emotions, and as adults, if we’re honest, the majority of us suck at processing emotions. We get angry and take it out on the people closest to us. We go to work sad and hurt over a fight with our partner, now we can’t focus, productivity is low, and the quality of our work sucks. Susan David, Harvard medical school psychologist and author of the #1 WSJ bestseller, Emotional Agility, has some strategies we can all start implementing today to learn how to process our emotions in an effective and healthier way. Her core message is that “emotions are data, not directives.” We’re facing some really challenging times ahead and we’ve been fighting and hoping for better days since pre-Covid. This conversation answers how to deal with the difficult thoughts and use emotions as data instead of allowing them to direct a story of you starring as the victim. You can have every valid reason to fuse with painful emotions, it doesn’t mean they’re helpful in the moment. Create space, observe what you're feeling, and identify the signpost.

Regardless of where you live, societies are feeling the threat against certain freedoms and are fighting back. Humans innately don’t want to be oppressed or censored by larger, more powerful and dominant groups. But exactly how do you define your freedom? Is your freedom tied to your “rights'' or is your freedom independent of that? Sebastian Junger, best selling author, Afghanistan war correspondent and more has authored a new book, Freedom, that will leave you shocked, perplexed and challenged in many ways. In this conversation, he and Tom take a deep dive into freedom, what it means for different societies, how smaller groups are able to give larger groups and armies hell, and are willing to risk their lives for their freedom. Sebastian also shares his 400 mile experience walking through America with a group of friends and reflects on different feelings of freedom.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. Today, we dive deep into the ever-evolving world of information and media with our guest, Martin Gurri, a former CIA analyst and renowned author of The Revolt of the Public. In this enlightening conversation, Gurri examines the intricate dynamics of elites, the impact of political figures like Trump and Obama, and the transformative potential of AI in modern governance. We explore the increasingly vital role of new governance models such as charter cities and network states, alongside the significant shifts driven by digital and artificial intelligence. Gurri challenges the notion of societal chaos by contrasting online turmoil with real-world stability, drawing on his personal experiences and historical parallels. From the influence of Elon Musk on free speech and media control to the relentless barrage of information in the digital age, this episode uncovers how we can navigate these turbulent waters. Gurri's insights into communication, persuasion, and the pursuit of truth within complex systems remind us of the importance of adaptation and critical thinking.

Greatness isn’t reserved for the lucky or privileged few. Success and wealth isn’t a right that anyone has been denied by bad luck of the draw either. Possibility is within your control when you learn to use the pain and live the life you’ve been given better than anyone else and you learn to see opportunities. But you have to execute to make sh*t happen! Eric Thomas has been motivating people for years and is bringing his energy and passion to Impact Theory to share the keys to success. Eric, also known as the hip-hop preacher, is a speaker, an entrepreneur, educator, and author. He’s taken the hard path in life, not by choice, and learned how to achieve greatness by relentlessly executing.

Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist and Science Author, has proposed a theory of consciousness that challenges your everyday assumptions about what reality is. His argument is that our perceptions of cause and effect and what we experience in the physical world isn’t as real as you’d like to think. The metaphor of the virtual headset he uses in these conversations with Tom explains why our experiences are limited and there are things like freewill that we never truly experience. If that’s not heavy enough for you, Hoffman bring mathematical equations into the picture to explain that all consciousness is mathematically structured. This episode is a complete crash course into the world of Donald Hoffman and the illusion of space, time and reality. Some areas you’ll hear explored in this episode include: Is Cause and effect real? The God hypothesis and consciousness Why your reality isn’t real The Truth behind consciousness How evolution hides the matrix (and what’s the red pill) Testing reality & spacetime Can you actually escape the matrix? Do you think it’s possible life is a simulation and we’re in some version of a virtual reality headset?
