If you’re about that hustle culture life then you’ve either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat? Matt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he’s vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve.  The plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald’s and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He’s sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn’t the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you’re more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success. This conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option. Eliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success. QUOTES: “I am the greatest undisputed expert there’ll ever be about myself holds true till this day.” “It is 1000% true that the only way to achieve extraordinary things is if you don’t have a plan B.” “My boat is a metaphor for the internal and external things that prevent us from fully committing.” “The number one answer to everything is face everything.” “We’ve lost our way from the celebration of the individual.” “Most people believe that they have to have this approach towards incrementalism and they deny themselves the benefit of reaching really far.” “I’m always trying to put myself in positions that are a tremendous reach.” “If you have a dream do not submit to incrementalism before you’ve tested the idea of a step change.” “There’s a gravitational pull of incrementalism because incrementalism is the only thing for which we have data to validate our choices.” Follow Matt Higgins: Website: https://www.burntheboatsbook.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BurnTheBoatsBook  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mhiggins/  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

If you only focus on getting this one thing right, you would instantly improve your focus, your energy and stamina, boost your productivity and literally change the course of your entire day. The problem is that if you’re not serious about doing ALL the things you talk about doing, then you're about to watch or listen to this episode, nod your head, get pumped up for a few minutes and get right back to doing the same things that get you the same results you’ve been getting. So are you about that life or not? If you’re tired of going through every day exhausted and showing up to every area of your life tired, unfocused and half productive, then this is for you. So, grab the pen and paper and let’s start planning out how to actually get started on an evening routine that will change your life for good. Take note of the sleep disruptors you’ve been entertaining for so long that you don’t even think of them as interfering with your sleep. In this hustle culture, too many people are practically bragging about their lack of sleep, poor time management, and no freaking clue how to prioritize as a distraction and cover up to the reality that SLEEP is one of the lead dominos people have to get right in order to go full on beast mode in any and every other area of their lives. When are you eating your last meal of the day? What time are you getting to bed every night? Are you protecting yourself and your mind from stress before bed? Let’s be honest about the mistakes we’re making so we can get real about the solutions and what it’s going to take to get there. QUOTES: “If you’re trying to regulate your circadian rhythm it's really important to go right outside and get the light on your skin [in the morning].” “I don’t do drugs, but I do stress, that one I do. So, every time I mess up my sleep, 95% of the time it’s because I ingest something stressful right before I go to sleep.” “Remember caffeine is a potent drug, so if you treat it like a drug I think you will make fewer mistakes in keeping your sleep hygiene on point.” “Not being able to sleep well is its own ring of hell.” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Right now there are two kinds of people reading this. You’re either super excited about AI and all of the latest applications you can use with AI, or you’re from the camp of people ready to hunker down and start the doomsday clock. The best part of this episode is considering a range of possibilities across a spectrum of the implications of artificial intelligence. Raoul Pal joins Tom this time to deep dive on what kind of economic threat A.I. could be to the global economy. AI is quite possibly the end of civilization as we know it to be, it is also the beginning of untapped unimaginable outcomes for all of us. Raoul Pal is a retired hedge fund manager who co-founded Real Vision, a financial media company that offers interviews and publications from the world’s best investors. As the macro economist that Britain called on for help, his insights into the current recession, global economy, and volatile markets are well respected. A few reason this conversation will get you thinking even deeper on AI and the economy: To get informed now and decide how you respond to the arrival of the next level of AI. AI also allows us to do things we weren’t able to because we either lacked the talent or the skill This recession has been miserable but it’s still a natural cycle for us to go through Raoul shares his insights on if we’ve hit the bottom and are bouncing back or if we should proceed with even greater caution than before QUOTES: “I think of singularity also as that potential for mankind and machines to merge and the reason being is, A, we will adopt it because it’s better than us. The question is, what comes out after that, [...] you get to the point you’re augmented and then it’s who runs who.” “We as humans are just training AI, [...] I don’t think we understand what we’re doing training somebody who’s going to take us over.” “If you can afford to, invest in it [A.I.]. If not, be curious.” “The impossible is possible.” “Doom porn sells, it catches attention. Fear is the strongest human emotion.” Follow Raoul Paul: Website: https://www.realvision.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raoulgmi/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealVisionFinance Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Go to hostinger.com/impact and use code IMPACT to get 10% OFF your new website!

Do you enjoy the snooze alarm game? A lot of people you know including yourself do. It’s kind of fun but mostly torture. For 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your level of expertise, you get to see how many times you will hit the snooze button and sleep in 5 or 10 minute intervals before having to jump out of bed and mad dash through the morning to get ready. Every day, you wake up exhausted, you don’t get to the most important thing you told yourself the night before you would do first thing in the morning, your energy is low before noon and by 3 PM you’re begging yourself for a nap. The key to breaking this cycle to start waking up at the time you want and need to is having the habits and routines built in place that make you so efficient that success becomes inevitable. You don’t have to struggle every morning to get up early, you don’t need to set an alarm every night before bed to get up in the morning on time, and you don’t have to suffer through your days forever tired. This is the video you need to hear to truly understand, how hardcore is hardcore for Tom Bilyeu when it comes to being the founder of a billion dollar company? A few simple strategies you can start with right now are: Go to bed same time (every day) Do not use an alarm Sleep as much as you need (it’s that important) Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Chat GPT AI went from 0 to over 100Million users in less than 2 months. AI is super fucking dangerous, but it’s inevitable, will make our lives better, and you should CAREFULLY love it. Is AI dangerous? Next to thermonuclear war and an asteroid strike, I’d say it’s the most radically dangerous threat that we face as a species. Buuuuut I’m still super excited. And by the end of this video you will be too. If you’re terrified of AI right now, you’re rational. If you’re not at least worried it will take a wrong turn into James Cameron territory, you’re not paying attention. To paraphrase Elon Musk, the human endeavor to create AI could be the first step towards a technological utopia or a demon summoning circle. It’s not clear which way it will go. But one thing is for sure, we will not control it. And he’s right, but the truth is, the genie is out of the bottle, and we’re going to have to deal with it I fear it will be a bit of both. AI, which simply stands for Artificial Intelligence, is getting smart. Really smart. And AI doesn’t have to outsmart us by much to completely dominate us. Let me give you an example for scale: A moron is technically someone with an IQ of about 70. The average IQ in the US is 98. Einstein was estimated to be 160. And according to the Guiness book of World Records, the highest IQ ever recorded came in at a whopping 210. That means that a super genius is only 3 times smarter than a moron. But Einstein, who was actually only 2.3 times smarter than a moron, had insights that gave birth to nuclear power and nuclear bombs, not to mention lasers, GPS, and a whole lot more. Said another way, a little intelligence goes a loooooooong way. Nuclear warheads are scary enough, but AI isn’t going to be a little smarter than Einstein, it’s going to be a LOT smarter. Not 5 times smarter or 10 times or even 10,000 times smarter. We’re talking millions of times smarter. Despite the reality of all the bad stuff that’s coming, here are three traps we must avoid. 1. Burying our heads in the sand. 2. Panicking. 3. Trying to abolish AI. Panicking is the same as actively taking your own intelligence offline. When you panic, blood leaves your prefrontal cortex, which is the seat of high level cognition. Therefore it actually makes you dumber. And in the face of artificial super intelligence that strikes me as a very bad idea. In the short term you need to do three things: 1. Reframe your thinking around AI. Don’t see it as the enemy. See it as a tool. You’re not going to be replaced by AI, at least not yet. You’re going to be replaced by a human using AI. Be the human that replaces others. 2. Figure out how AI is going to disrupt you. Face it head on. Don’t run. Don’t hide. Identify your vulnerabilities and shore up your skill set. 3. Identify all of the AI tools that are relevant to you and master them. Learn absolutely everything you can. Remember, this is the very beginning of a very aggressive revolution. Moving quickly gives you advantages. First of all, let me acknowledge that I’m a pundit here, not an expert. While we’re working feverishly to integrate AI into our company’s workflow, I’m not the guy who can tell you how AI works under the hood. So what follows will be me thinking out loud based on what I’ve learned from the experts in my attempts to use AI in both my daily life and the daily operations of my company.

You already know that poor diet choices, lack of sleep and high levels of stress are making it impossible to control your weight, manage your mood, and have productive days. It’s the avalanche of poor decisions that assault your metabolism and impact your mental health in ways you haven’t connected until now. A good diet, being well rested, keeping your stress levels low not only positively affect your metabolism, they also positively affect your mental health. Dr. Chris Palmer, a Harvard psychiatrist, has introduced the brain energy theory of mental illness, revealing that mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. Which means there is a direct connection to diet and mental health. Dr. Palmer has been pioneering the use of a medical ketogenic diet as a treatment for mental disorders, and has released his new book, Brain Energy, carefully connecting the dots and explaining why mitochondria are at the center of it all. This episode is easily a mini-masterclass on mitochondrial function as Dr. Palmer explains all of the systems and processes mitochondria directly impact tying to nutrition and mental health. What’s shocking is that all of the things known to impair mental illness directly impair mitochondrial function. Check out Dr. Palmer’s book, Brain Energy: https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Energy-Revolutionary-Understanding-Health/dp/1637741588 QUOTES: “I’m arguing all mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.” “I am saying diet plays a powerful role in mental illness, diet plays a powerful role in mitochondrial health, but it is not the only thing that plays a role [in mental health].” “What I’m saying in a nutshell is that mitochondrial dysfunction is ultimately the cause of mental illness.” “When I saw it put schizophrenia into remission at that point I knew I can’t stay quiet about this, this is too important.” “I would argue that the ketogenic diet or fasting states or fasting mimicking states in particular play a profound role in healing, and the reason is not because carbohydrates are the villain, the reason is because fasting is the saving treatment.” “People who are overweight or diabetic or more likely to have autistic children…” Follow Chris Palmer: Website: https://www.chrispalmermd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrispalmermd/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerMD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisPalmerMD/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Visit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.

Here’s how the second-biggest bank collapse in U.S. history happened in just 48 hours. Silicon Valley Bank closed its doors today. Within 48 hours, a panic induced by the very venture capital community that SVB had served and nurtured ended the bank’s 40-year-run. Regulators shuttered SVB Friday and seized its deposits in the largest U.S. banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis and the second-largest ever. The company’s downward spiral began late Wednesday, when it surprised investors with news that it needed to raise $2.25 billion to shore up its balance sheet. What followed was the rapid collapse of a highly-respected bank that had grown alongside its technology clients. You are not alone if the recession has you nervous about what to expect.

There’s a right and wrong way to do everything regarding your health. While you’re likely frustrated because everything sounds like a contradiction, the truth is that your health is about finding what works best for you.  Is going with a plant-based diet necessary, will vegetables kill you, or is eating red meat the cardinal sin to avoid.? Dr Steven Gundry, cardiologist and heart surgeon, has been studying diets from Blue Zones, gut health and what has been killing our energy, our longevity and ability to lose unwanted fat. He’s the bestselling author of Unlocking the Keto Code, The Energy Paradox, The Plant Paradox, and many others. In this series of conversations, Dr Gundry gives us the simplest break down of what foods are destroying your gut health, the best way to “diet”, why you’re struggling with such low energy levels, and what the real benefits are of a low-carb and ketogenic diet is and what it means for you. The key takeaway to remember is that energy starts in the gut and being metabolically flexible, being able to switch between different energy sources in your body, is going to be key to finally achieving your best health ever. QUOTES: “The purpose of food is to get olive oil in your mouth.” “Recent information has proven that fat is not the evil guy we thought it was, that the fat is there because of the inflammation and the inflammation is there because you have a leak in your gut.” “Believe it or not in the American diet, 24 hours a day, we’re causing leaky gut, we’re assaulting our immune system with these LPSs, and it’s no wonder we’re a giant ball of inflammation.”  “It’s the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis without full ketosis that makes all the difference.” “Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all costs.” Follow Steven Gundry:  Website: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePlantParadox/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drgundry  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgundry  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Go to http://www.blinkist.com/IMPACT to start your 7-day free trial and get 25% off of a Blinkist Premium membership.

QUOTES: “I'm just dumb enough to make a lot of mistakes. But just smart enough to fix some of them.” [13:44] “For whatever weird fucking reason humans want to be congruent, so if you tell somebody you are something, then you want to act in congruence with that, otherwise, it does not feel good.” [19:29] “I have found in the moment where you most want to panic, downshift…” [30:14] “We only do and believe that which moves us towards our goals.” [39:04] “Building your ultimate sort of version of yourself is a very complicated endeavor, but if you get the identity right, you're probably 60% of the way there.” [41:08] “If you're gonna model yourself after me, let me tell you the ability to build desire. That shit is my like, secret fucking weapon…” [44:45] “There is real power in anger, frustration, and not wanting somebody to get one over on you.

Not understanding hormones and calories is leading more of us to metabolic problems than a little bit. Unfortunately, losing weight and having healthier blood glucose levels isn’t as simple as eating less and restricting calories. To make matters worse, fasting, although a popular method of weight loss and health, is a lot more complicated than not eating.  In this we have experts such as Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Mike Mutzel sharing their insights and research on how to approach fasting for weight loss and improved metabolic health. Dr Jason Fung is a nephrologist and the co-founder of the Fasting Method program which has helped millions of people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes. Unlike many nephrologists, Dr Fung supports and encourages the education of diabetes and weight loss being possible through intermittent fasting. He’s a NY Times bestselling author and respected voice on fasting, weight loss, nutrition, and type 2 diabetes.  Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center. His clinic focuses on healing patients through plant based vegan diets, and clinical fasting. Dr Goldhamer is also the author of The Pleasure Trap, Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness. Mike Mutzel is a functional medicine consultant in the natural product industry. He’s obsessed with evidence-based natural medicine and is the author of the Bell Fat Effect. Mike is also the founder of High Intensity Health. QUOTES: “It's not just about the calories, it’s about the hormones.” Dr. Jason Fung “You can’t burn body fat if insulin is high.” Dr Jason “If you fast and exercise you actually lose more weight but more of it is lean tissue. If you fast and rest you mobilize predominantly fat and specifically visceral fat.” Dr Alan Goldhamer “Drinking too much water can flush your electrolytes out and result in water intoxication.” Dr. Alan Goldhamer “I’m not really concerned about fat loss as the best proxy for health.” Mike Mutzel “Have the carbohydrate commence with the activity.” Mike Mutzel Follow Jason Fung:  Website: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjasonfung/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drjasonfung  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drjasonfung  Follow Dr. Alan Goldhamer:  Website: https://www.healthpromoting.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthhealth  Follow Mike Mutzel:  Website: https://highintensityhealth.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MikeMutzelMS  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeMutzel  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metabolic_mike/  Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Early to mid 2000s became the time of “hacks.” The popularity of lifestyle hacks and health hacks are evidence of how lazy we really are. It’s time to admit how lazy we actually are. We’ve been trying to hack our way out of any real effort in life, health, and success. The “father of biohacking,” Dave Asprey is a champion for health hacks and admittedly just as lazy as everyone else. Most people will admit to wanting a great physique and outstanding physical, mental, and emotional health, yet people spend all of their time avoiding the things that get the results they say they want. Dave is joining Tom on this episode to reveal the idea behind his latest book, Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want. Aside from the fact that we’re all naturally conditioned to be lazy, as Dave explains, we’re also bombarded with misinformation that makes getting the body and mind you want near impossible. Losing weight is at the top of the list for a lot of people, but so is boosting energy and keeping the mind sharp and focused. This episode with Dave is going to reveal a few key ideas for you: Why you don’t need a caloric deficit to lose weight 3 reasons why calories in calories out doesn’t work (and should be banned) How you can actually hack spirituality Dave Asprey is the founder of the Bulletproof diet and Upgrade Labs. He’s already reversed his biological age by 11 years thanks to biohacking and following tons of research. He’s gone from a 46 inch waste to losing over 100 pounds and maintaining a healthy weight. Dave has created a movement around the power of intention and human spirit in pursuit of high performance. QUOTES: “There’s absolutely a system that does things before our brain can do it.” “The fact that you can gain weight from the same number of calories depending on when they’re eaten destroys calories in calories out. It’s an over simplified lazy way of thinking about weight loss…” “Very few people do well over long periods of time on a carnivore diet or on a vegan diet.” “The thesis behind ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is that our systems are elegantly lazy and that we are lazy as a result and that there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, laziness has driven all progress in humans.” “The fact that you can eat junk food doesn’t mean it’s not harming you. The fact you don’t get fat from it doesn’t mean it’s not harming you.” “The vast majority of the people listening to this show want to want to exercise but they don’t actually want to exercise.” Follow Dave Asprey: Website: https://daveasprey.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bulletproofexec Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveAspreyBPR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: http://bit.ly/3YwQJkV Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Limiting beliefs are the disempowering stories you tell yourself about why this is harder for you or that’s impossible for someone like you. Often they stem from childhood experiences and get carried into our adult years. The problem is when you hold onto these stories as if they were fact. Tom has spent years learning and trying out personal rules, beliefs and systems that have allowed him to become the ultra-successful entrepreneur he is today. If success is something you desire and becoming a better version of yourself is a priority, you have to address your limiting beliefs. While Tom doesn’t believe you have to seek out every single limiting belief to overcome it, you do need to get new beliefs and systems in place that will be more empowering than the narrative you’ve been listening to. Get your belief structure together and your behaviors will follow suit. SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Limiting Beliefs 0:36 | Build A Growth Mindset 3:40 | You Can Master Any Skill 6:49 | Challenge Your Belief System 12:10 | Only Believe What Moves You Forward 16:46 | Enjoy the Process Above Everything QUOTES: “It's not even necessarily that you have a limiting belief, it's that you're being honest with yourself about what you do and don't want to pursue.” [3:22] “The only thing that makes sense is to only do and believe that which moves you towards your goals.” [13:14] “You're so busy living in the past, that you forget that there's an entire future waiting for you. But you have to let go of the past before you can move forward.” [16:11] “I'm never where I “want to be”, but I don't trick myself into tying my value to achieving it.” [17:17] Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ Attain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: bit.ly/3hr3zBi Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Looking for a high value man or woman will have you feeling more detached from yourself and reality than figuring out your life’s purpose. Generally speaking there are natural occurring differences between men and women that do not have to be viewed as adversarial or problematic. In today’s social media influenced dating scene, there are so many toxic ideals floating around that dating and finding relationships are more difficult than they ever were before. Traditional male roles are being attacked for being toxically unacceptable by today’s internet standards and both men and women are feeling pressure to live up to standards that a narrow percentage of people will actually fit into. Stephan Speaks is joining Tom to address a very hard conversation. Stephan Speaks has garnered hundreds of millions of views from his own YouTube presence as a relationship expert focused on helping men and women create healthier happier relationships aligned with the essence of their true self. He’s not shy about calling out behaviors and flawed thinking from men and women that make finding authentic connection difficult. Declining testosterone levels in young men, porn, and an unhealed broken subset of men (and women) with large online platforms are just a few of the issues of a much bigger problem that Stephan is speaking to in this episode. Let’s talk about why you’re being shamed for not wanting the internet standard and how the Andrew Tate phenomenon and others like that for men and women are destroying your potential for love, family and real connection. QUOTES: “High value does not equate to a good person.” “Culture is painting a picture of what relationships are that I think is dysfunctional at the level of definition.” -Tom Bilyeu “A lot of men are not honest about how much they want a relationship and value having a woman in their life because they don’t want to be called a simp, [...] so people are not being true to who they are or what they truly desire.” “People will always pursue fame and money no matter how many people get ruined by fame and money.” -Tom Bilyeu “Walk in your masculine but you have to be able to tap into your feminine to where you bring love, safety and security to your partner.” “There’s a lot of men on the internet that are speaking out of a lack of healing and bitterness…” “A healthy, happy, successful relationship is two people pouring into each other.” “There’s a difference between being vulnerable and being emotionally unstable.” “Marriage is a great wealth building tool if you use it correctly.” “When you get married you are signing a marriage contract whether you like it or not. You’re either going to sign the state’s contract or you’re going to create your own contract, why not create your own.” Follow Stephan Speaks: Website: https://www.stephanspeaks.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPBO9gLGy8ujsJ7xjARI7ow Twitter: https://twitter.com/StephanSpeaks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephanspeaks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StephanSpeaksRelationships/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Get $500 off Peloton Tread Packages that come with accessories like a heart rate band, workout mat and non-slip dumbbells.

No one wants to hear that the money they save today will be worthless tomorrow, and yet no one can deny that inflation is hitting everyone at the grocery store. What does this all mean and what can you do about it? You’re living through a recession that the government can’t seem to agree on or admit to whether you like it or not. Robert Breedlove hosts the podcast, ‘What Is Money?’ has joined Tom a few times and broken down the complexities of money, inflation, and property rights. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft should grab your attention as it’s hard to ignore once you hear his explanation. We’re digging into key ideas such as: The money crisis How bitcoin is impacting future creation of wealth How you can better thrive during this financial crisis It always comes down to decision and how you choose to move through reality as it is not how you wish it were. QUOTES: “Money is always scarce by definition.” “The really successful entrepreneur is almost brilliantly lazy.” “The innovation we’ve seen in the 21st century has been in spite of central banking not because of it.” “When we print money you’re only violating individual private property rights.” “The corruption of this technology that’s so fundamental to our human being, leads to the corruption of our character, and the corruption of who we are. It’s like a breakdown and corrosion of the moral composition of society through the debasement of currency and the violation of property.” “Inaction is an impossibility. To choose to not act is an action.” “The more productive we become as a global economy, the more purchasing power bitcoin can contain.” “Money is an insurance policy on uncertainty “Inflation is quite simply, legal counterfeiting, and counterfeiting is illegal inflation. They’re mechanically the same thing.” “Setting a legal monopoly to steal from all of society is a really convenient wealth acquisition strategy.” Follow Robert Breedlove: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43_LTf5Z4lbRjKCq0sIAVg Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/breedlove22/ Podcast: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breedlove_22/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to http://www.rocketmoney.com/impact.

I’ve been working with my spouse for almost two decades now, and in this video I’m going to teach you how to do it well. Just be warned, you may hate the answer. This topic is big enough to warrant its own book, but if people won’t give you a simple answer to a complicated topic it’s because they don’t understand it well enough. So here you go, I’m going to give it to you in a sentence: To work well with your significant other you must each play a clearly defined role. Sex and Entrepreneurship are both team sports. And if you’re doing it alone it can still be cool, but it’s called something else entirely. Here’s how we did it: Here’s the trick to managing both love and business. Step 1. Choose well. Selection is 80% of the battle in romance. If you can’t find someone amazing, masterbate. And keep looking. Because a bad relationship is worse than no relationship at all. That goes for business and love. Unless you want to split your company up in the divorce, don’t mess up this step. It will be ruinous. A business will not bring you together any more than kids will. It will expose your flaws. What makes someone amazing? Most of that is going to be intensely personal. You’d probably hate being married to me, but my wife swears she loves it. Maybe there’s just no accounting for taste. Or maybe we selected well. I’ll let you be the judge, but here is the criteria we’ve refined over the years for people who ask this questions: Gotta be love. Bit like pornography. Hard to describe, but you’ll know it when you see it. Committed to maintaining a thriving sex life Committed to the relationship Has a growth mindset Shares most of your values On balance is your equal On balance is emotionally stable Plays a different, but complementary role in the relationship Legitimately wants you to be happy Takes full responsibility for their actions and emotional state If you or your partner doesn’t already have that mentality, then stop watching this video now and address that. You simply will not succeed working with your spouse if you don’t both have a growth mindset. Step 2. Define your roles. Lisa and I realized early on that no relationship will survive two alphas fighting for control. This is a team sport. You each need to have a clearly defined role and play it well. Lisa and I have found that this tends to break along traditional gender lines. It doesn’t have to, but I think there are deep biological reasons why this plays out in the averages. Said simply, men will break themselves in half to lead, sacrifice, and provide, making them ideal rockets. Women on the other hand are adept at securing cooperation and realizing their agenda by coordinating the actions of a team, making them the needed fuel to move the rocket. Here it is: Men and women, in general, want their partner to make them feel fundamentally different things. This disconnect creates a massive amount of friction. Step four. Create Rules of Engagement around how to deal with the collision of two modes of being. Romance and Business aren’t like oil and water where they don’t mix. They’re like mentos and Coca Cola, they’re explosive when put together. Rule number 1: Define your roles CLEARLY. Rule number 2: Rule 3: Partner only with your equal Rule 4: Act differently in your romantic partnership than in your business partnership Rule 5: Lead with love Rule 6: Over communicate. I hope hearing how Lisa and I have navigated this tricky terrain is helpful for you all. I hope that you take this merely as a starting point and you find what works best for you. I hope you understand the averages, but don’t feel you need to conform to them. Find what works for you and live a life that you love.
