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. You can achieve greatness but you have to take action and be accountable to yourself first and foremost. Think about what it is that you want to be best at and give that your total focus. Tom often says, ‘action cures all’ and Eric is living proof that action is a must once and once you release all of your excuses, you can become unstoppable. “If there’s another mountain to climb, climb it!” -Eric Thomas Check Out Eric’s latest book, You Owe You, Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why: https://www.amazon.com/You-Owe-Ignite-Power-Purpose/dp/0593234987 [Original air date: 9-1-22] SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Eric Thomas 0:16 | This One Thing Achieves Greatness 4:24 | Cultivate a Winning Mindset 11:15 | The Real Power of Belief 21:11 | Break Up With Your Excuses 27:51 | You’re The Only One In Your Way 35:47 | Hold Yourself More Accountable 41:40 | Focus on Winning Life’s Challenge 51:00 | Become Unstoppable CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Range Rover: Explore the Range Rover Sport at  https://landroverUSA.com Rosetta Stone: Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com Betterhelp:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

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?

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of cognitive science, AI, and the crisis of meaning with our special guest, philosopher and cognitive scientist John Vervaeke.

We’ll also tackle the implications of the meaning crisis, drawing parallels with historical contexts like the Hellenistic period, and discuss potential solutions through an ecology of practices rooted in ancient wisdom. John shares his insights on AI, the complexity of bias-variance trade-offs, and the inherent challenges of relevance realization.

Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn’s story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.  [Original air date: 7-27-21].

What utility do your beliefs have in your everyday life? From the way you decide on political issues to the way you tune out dissenting views, and decide against conversations with certain people every choice is backed by some belief in what you consider to be right.

In today's episode of Impact Theory, host Tom Bilyeu delves deep into the intricate world of modern relationships, societal expectations, and personal growth with guest Sadia Khan. Together, they explore the complexities of attraction and success, shedding light on how physical allure and ambition shape romantic dynamics. Sadia shares her preferences for driven, accomplished men, linking laziness to missed opportunities, while Tom reflects on his transformative journey motivated by his commitment to his wife, Lisa. Khan's perspective on pay disparities and societal norms, particularly in places like Dubai versus the UK, provides a thought-provoking angle on cultural and economic biases. The conversation takes a candid turn as they discuss the motivational power of admiration, the impact of materialism on relationships, and the unrealistic expectations fueled by social media. This episode also navigates the often contentious waters of sexual dynamics, examining the role of mutual attraction, the evolving landscape of hypergamy, and the pitfalls of transactional relationships. Both speakers emphasize the importance of self-improvement, setting boundaries, and finding partners who respect and value genuine connections over superficial traits. SHOWNOTES Intimacy vs. delusion in age-gap relationships. Avoid pornography; it impacts erectile dysfunction negatively. Submit to someone who sees and supports you. Emotional safety, lifelong desire, shared investment. Men confuse desire for intimacy with sex. Money devalues, causing higher prices and inequality. Women perceive each other as threats, not men. Grateful but cautious due to potential offense. Truth isn't offended by reality; delusion is.
