I think as a society we need to shift our focus away from success as *the* measure of a good life for a man. I think what men need more fundamentally is to be heard, to be understood, and to be cared for. We have an epidemic of struggling men facing loneliness, addiction, becuase our society only values those who get ahead, who beat "99%" of the other guys, and quite frankly Im tired of it. The developed world is so technology advanced and getting richer but at the same time the majority of people are really struggling, because our society only cares about getting ahead in life and not listening to and helping other men and one another. Gentlemen, we need to evolve our way of thinking, let us care for the planet, the poor, and each other.
Yes, exactly, I think the coming necessity of universal basic income (assuming we don't want people to starve or have riots in the street) will be a great thing for men, women, families and basically everyone. Rather than wasting his time at a boring and pointless job like 90% of guys do, that time can be spent at home with the family or on a hobby, on fostering human connection that will be more fulfilling then fixing someone's transmission or dealing with a clogged toilet. Even the guys in supposed High skill positions like surgeons should be replaced as well because the bots can beat us all at virtually everything or will soon be able to... I have a degree in mathematics and it is humiliating to see how well and fast it can solve differential equations... but guess what I am not ashamed to admit that I am bested by a machine. Let's make these machines great servants to us rather than using them for Destruction.

Recap by Tammy AI
Tom you are amazing! I have listened to you for many years now and have learned so much. Hearing you talk about not having a child is so hard to hear. You and Lisa would be amazing parents and the love that you feel towards your spouse does not go away. In fact it grows, watching my husband father our son makes my love for him even stronger.
I suffered for 20 years with my gut health and after years and years of pain and suffering I got hospitalized and diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. After that day in Oct 2022 I changed my diet and a few daily habits and once a month IV therapy and now I fill better in my late 40z then I did in my 20/30!!! Life is a Journey not a Destination! And I think everyone should do a Gratitude Journal Daily..That has been the One thing that helps me get 1% better Daily! Thanks for reading and Hope everyone works hard daily to be the BEST VERSION of Themselves!!☯️😎✌️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I always worked since of the age of six years old … now I’m 42 years old and my life is a not in a good time , I believe is important to switch off from everything and everyone at times . 🙏🏼thank you Tom B . ❤

@@lovealwayswins6784 Is it that difficult for you to imagine? There are millions of children making the things you buy and enjoy. But even here in the US, some children start working as soon as they have any capacity to do so....most notably on farms. You have consumed products at least in part produced by 6 year olds. Personally, I didn't start doing hard labor until I was around 10.

“We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day, but if we do each thing calmly and carefully, we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.” - Viggo Mortensen You are able to bring more of yourself when you concentrate. As the day progresses, you may realize how quickly you accomplish tasks when you slow down to give them your undivided attention. In the words of Viggo Mortensen, “go slow to go fast.”
You ARE weak. You depend on Food 24/7/365 till you perish anyway (outsider sources of everything one needs to survive + the crazy atmosphere) :) Anytime, anyone can manipulate you or cut your "power" supplies + you are mortal (WEAK). Why is so difficult for humans just to admit it and if you don't like your own nature, don't pass it to your kids who will repeat the same and more of the same. Easy...
There will always be an internal battle between the desire for comfort and for growth. There is a place for both and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. I think the most important thing is for each individual to take the time to explore their own values and live an aligned path. Many of us fantasize about things that we don't truly want because we believe we need them to be happy.
I really enjoy your content, Tom. If I could say one thing to you it would be that you have, to some degree, pulled the wool over your own eyes about having children; you could still have all that you desire and need in life and be a father also. I'd wager you would get a level of fulfillment unlike anything before, and that you'd be a fantastic dad.
That’s the feeling I get about Tom too. I think his advice is valuable for a lot of things, but when you’re always pushing through pain, you’re not letting your whole self be there. I feel like one part of Tom is dragging the rest of him through the pain to get to the goal - very helpful for some things - but he’s ignoring and denying the sensitive parts of himself, perhaps the part that wants kids.
I'm a Dad, I wasn't very good at it, and now a grandpa, I'm much better at that. My child and grandchildren are the meaning in life for me, but I still feel guilty for my selfishness in bringing new and innocent life into such a horrible and painful world.
Spot on Tom...early in life knew I did not want children because I thought through my plan for life and recognized that I could not raise children in the way I was raised (in a very blessed way) and have a career as well (subcontracting children to nannies and caretakers is definitely an option that I cannot criticize however I knew it was not for me.) I know it can sound selfish, yet it really is selfless. I have the privilege of helping friends' and family's kids as well as mentoring so many others.
It's all about being passionate that life is hard. And being grateful you have to work for it. It's easy being strong because most people are weak. I feed off that. When life gets hard and I have to face something most people would buckle from, I smile and say thank you. This is beautiful. This is just what my soul needs.
I love your content, Tom. One thing I can't agree with (and maybe I've just misunderstood it) is that in today's world, almost everyone embraces the idea of "hard work." But what they are really doing is embracing the idea of extreme effort. There are better outcomes than this over time. The modern problems we struggle with are increasingly not effort problems but imagination and ingenuity problems. They don't require more hard work but steady mediocre work that involves proper rest, strategy, and ease. For example, I moved countries, and by doing that, I got a much higher standard of living with much less effort. Over time, I could work at a level I would not consider extreme effort but still align my life and financial goals. Anyways, I might have misunderstood your viewpoint. Happy to be corrected.
Tom - you are good - excellent in fact. I was with this channel with less than 500K. But I disagree with you in a key area. You (meaning you, Tom) can have kids and what that looks like is up to you. You have more money than me but as a upper-class father I can tell you this: kids are where the true joy comes in. Alongside a spouse that loves you (which you clearly have), nothing beats kids. I do see you evolving in this area, so one day, I hope it happens.
I do not care to consider the opinions of someone who actually thinks that you should be able to build a billion dollar business because they did. Or you need to beat the other (lazy) 99% of losers to join the 1%. Some people might need to and want to hear that. I just hear someone insulting 99% of men as useless lazy losers. Tom Bilyeu, I hope he does well in life, but him telling the guest what will happen in the future is just an example of the success fallacy. He sincerely believes that if you work hard enough, you will succeed. That is not the case, it certainly can be the case. But you should not give up and end you life if it doesn't work for you. Tom does not give 0.01% of the credit to luck. Luck is a SERIOUSLY LARGE contributor to success. Which means it cannot be predicted if your first customer in your new start up business ends up saving the business because they're a millionaire. And ended up giving you that jump start to be able to continue. No way to read the future. That is ACTUALLY impossible.
Tom's passion is business and making money. 90% of people don't have that innate passion, thus they don't have the work ethic that Tom has. You can't teach passion. I have a passion for working out, so it's easy for me to do that every day. I'm in great shape. But I have never had a passion for making lots of money or starting a business. So all this motivational stuff from Tom isn't going to do much. It's like trying to motivate people to work out every day. Either you have it or you don't.
If having kids would be the one and only reason and intend nature has - things would be way way easier! I love your energy and talks but see the time when you will be brought back to your knees again to begin your spiritual journey. As a good friend once said : the first 50 years is about learning how to build up and making your stand in this existence and the second half is learning to let go everything and giving in to the unevitable. And the first half is much easier as hard as it seems!
I am married, we have a daughter. When we have children, we, spouses, are still no. 1 priority for one another. And we are not conflicted. For me, instead of job, my daughter is priority after my husband. And nothing compares to the reality that we together in the end, love this new being who resembles so much to us.
Your podcast has the most practical information I listen to consistently. Is it possible to bleep your curses? I would like to listen in front of my sons while they pretend not to listen, but prefer they not hear the curses. Thank you.
One day I was praying and as I was praying I asked god why me, what did I do to deserve this? A voice came to me and said because you choose pain. I truly believe in the saying no pain no gain. So many ppl choose to be weak because it’s easy, being strong is hard. This is why the world is in the state it’s in today. The world will not be destroyed by those who are evil as they are the minority, it will be destroyed by those who are weak. Choosing the easy path will only make you worst and worst over time, it will kill any goodness or strength you have in you.
I’m loving this summary of teleology, logotherapy, and eudaimonia. I wish everyone had to take an intro to philosophy course. These things shouldn’t be esoteric and yet they are. And, to your purpose in taking the time to speak about them, even a rudimentary understanding of these ideas, principles, and frameworks has the potential to completely change one’s life. Change a life, change the world.
Thank u, Tom! You have been a great mentor for me, your spiritual daughter. I love the way that u & Lisa thinks & view life. Keep it up! Many has benefited from both of u. Big Hugh’s & High Five! 🤗
A powerful and motivating video that challenges viewers to embrace the mindset of adaptability, overcome obstacles, and push past their comfort zones in order to achieve extraordinary success and separate themselves from the majority.
3 and1/2 hours of Pure Real. This is the heavy hitting sh*t! This man is like a master jazz musician able to riff off in wonderful explorations on the concepts we all know from all the other "gurus."
Dude Tom, you are an animal. Thee fire I see in you man is contagious. I wish I could afford your class or whatever. I know for a fact it would change my life completely
Tom is so EMOTIONALLY unevolved it makes me sad for him. All of that intelligence and doesn't let himself feel. Oof. I used to intellectualize the world too. It's so much less painful...but that's not The Way, my friend. You have to stop thinking you're right 😢
Say what? This man has the insight to know that he is pursuing specific paths and giving up others. And the ability to voice that being super successful in one area often compromises others: and tell people about said trade offs. This man is trying to help younger members of his “squad” not learn through failure/pain of their own.
I agree with you @sierra9713 I am amazed by him and sad for him at the same time . He is so brilliant, but it's almost as if he is so used to controlling so many areas of his life with logic that he talks himself out of other enjoyable and perhaps emotional parts of life. But again, his mind is something astounding.
I'm confused by this comment... Tom, to me, is very Emotionally Intelligent, self aware, and in-tune with his emotions. I think that's just the "feminine" side he attributes to himself. I think Tom simply wants to succeed more than anything and thus realizes he must push beyond how he feels now to get to how he wants to feel in the long-run... I wonder if the comment is coming from a place of rationalizing the lack of progress being experienced?
This video was like a giant summary of every video you've made in the last year. Literally touching up on young boys to relationships to mental health to health itself and then you just kept going and going. I said it before your channel is continued education and this video felt like the review sessions before the final 🤣. But in a good way, thank you very much!
Tom, my friend! If you are passionate about your work and your impact on the world through your work. I would suggest you will need to leave someone behind to pick up the torch when you are gone. Who better than your own blood and who do you have the most impression on in this world! I would argue that if you impress what you’re doing on your children, they will be the most fit to pick up the torch
How is looking at cats doom scrolling? I thought doom scrolling was binging negative or doomsday news articles and social media? I can imagine according to Tom, scrolling anything for too long is doom scrilling in his mind. Hence doom-scrolling cats haha
Tom: I'm over here "manning up" on my comfy faux Florence Knoll chair, while you make do on folding chairs. Me: My ass is going numb just (edit: trying to receive) receiving this "encouragement." lol
Great information man love it!!! FYI I love that this 3 hr video has less cut and paste/edited sections and fewer camera zooming or angle changes than the typical 15min TH-cam video literally. I appreciate that I believe it shows not only experience but excellence not having to conform to the norm. And that is only the video not even acknowledging the golden information shows you have a great team just like you explain thanks keep up the great work
This is now my most favorite video you have done! So you want to create the next Disney huh? I may have an idea you will like, PM me. Meanwhile I'm slowly working on my growth. Started with working out, now like to work out 12 hours a week. Next was intermittent fasting and working on diet. Currently looking into all things time blocking. Then about to move across the country to break some negative cycles and start working further down the list towards success!
Not about telling people how to live life but I think Tom is capable and equipped enough to balance children and business. But it's people like him who can really raise future generations of impact. To place your legacy in the hands of strangers is giving away your children's birth right and they're not in your lineage
The term is taken from the RAF regiment motto: 'Adapt, Improvise & overcome" ... works everytime. And on that note, when are you going to... interview RFK?
From 22:00 on ,Tom is 💯% correct on the topic of relationships and having children. Children put strain on the relationship. It’s not their fault but it’s the truth.
I might be wrong, but the way you answer all questions perfectly and don't even take a second to think makes me think that your answers are prepared in advance
I recall him addressing this indirectly in another video I watched where certain employees thought he was a fast thinker, but he said he processes information slowly and wishes he had higher fluid intelligence. What he does, however, is think deeply and long about things so that when he addresses things he’s thought deeply about, it appears fast.
With LOVE, this is your brain being petty. The answers whether prepared or not are GOLD. If you are right does that make you feel better, are you being right going to make you a better person, business man, healthier? I say this out of LOVE not criticism. So many of this do this. My self included. Let's cultivate a higher level.
Really great video. Very helpful. Do you have another video or resource where you go into more specifics about diet, foods to avoid, and the microbiome?
This feels a bit double to me. Must you ALWAYS be productive and push yourself? It feels like being on guard and ready for anything at all time. (I'm not talking about situations where you are prepared and relaxed more like waiting for the next explosion during a war).Yes of course some things has to be done but this mentality would put me in so much stress. Balance is key in everything but scheduling your whole waken time sounds like a nightmare. There is work, there is rest/freetime and there is sleep. Divide those three in a healthy way and when you have to do those hard, dreadful and boring things do go all in and be disciplined. This to me feels like a very male perspective like "work hard play hard". It will burn you out in the long run.
Having concerns about something is not weakness. Expecting regulation and laws to protect people from the data rich tech industry is not weakness. I do not have to get ahead of criminal behaviour or a lack of ethics. it's like telling a SA victim to adapt or die after being assaulted; adaptation is only possible is adaption is welcome; if you lose your job and all jobs are obsolete, most people just aren't going to be able to deal with that. That's just the reality. This hype train is underestimating the power of this technology in one direction vs the consequences in others. It's not going to be an overlord; however it will hurt milllions of people; those people are not weak; they will be victims. Let's not get this twisted.
Blading is so you're body area is reduces so something is less likely to hit you. This is a naturally stance for dodging. But if you wanna be that guy, go on.
Go ahead be a Dad. You be a great one. Do not deny self that pleasure of life (children) It is .hard work but can be special molded ...mini Tom B or Lisa B.

The recent hyper masculine and alarmist vibe of this channel, Tom's apparent vibe of already knowing too much to be open to different or opposing ideas (see his video with Peter and Salim [love those guys]), the the title of this video, the length of this video....unsubscribing. Love Lisa though, she's killing it.
Sad to head him talk about kids given his influence. How many successful people think back on their death bed thinking about their money or companies. It's about family.
I guess being strong and toxic is fine, if you dont have kids. Once you have kids you need to mellow and work smarter, not harder, or your kids will not want to breed. I suppose if you are too toxic, even with all the money in the world, it will be difficult to find someone that will want to breed with you.
Imagine you wear a precious necklace for many year, and it breaks, an you want to repair it and you do, and it breaks again and until you realise you need to put it into the CRASH CAN because internally you know it has reached the end of ONE DIVINE LINE,A AND YOU REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT, and it keeps on breaking, is what I read in your repetitions,Break you necklace, and interview the lost KNOWLEDGABLE, it would change your life and your TH-cam

I'd wager you would get a level of fulfillment unlike anything before, and that you'd be a fantastic dad.
Just imagine how amazing Tom and Lisa's kids would be!!!
That’s the feeling I get about Tom too. I think his advice is valuable for a lot of things, but when you’re always pushing through pain, you’re not letting your whole self be there. I feel like one part of Tom is dragging the rest of him through the pain to get to the goal - very helpful for some things - but he’s ignoring and denying the sensitive parts of himself, perhaps the part that wants kids.
what a weird fucking comment.
I'm a Dad, I wasn't very good at it, and now a grandpa, I'm much better at that. My child and grandchildren are the meaning in life for me, but I still feel guilty for my selfishness in bringing new and innocent life into such a horrible and painful world.
Lisa, his wife, doesn’t want kids and that is totally okay, they made that decision. A lot of people do not want children and that is totally okay.
Spot on Tom...early in life knew I did not want children because I thought through my plan for life and recognized that I could not raise children in the way I was raised (in a very blessed way) and have a career as well (subcontracting children to nannies and caretakers is definitely an option that I cannot criticize however I knew it was not for me.) I know it can sound selfish, yet it really is selfless. I have the privilege of helping friends' and family's kids as well as mentoring so many others.
This planet is already FULL og people. You're not being selfish. On the contrary. You're helping everybody and the planet.
It's all about being passionate that life is hard. And being grateful you have to work for it. It's easy being strong because most people are weak. I feed off that. When life gets hard and I have to face something most people would buckle from, I smile and say thank you. This is beautiful. This is just what my soul needs.
Wow. This is powerful.
Sounds like you need Mrs.maureens investing help!!
Agreed. David Goggins calls it taking souls. The harder the situation the more power you can harness knowing only you can make it that far.
I love your content, Tom. One thing I can't agree with (and maybe I've just misunderstood it) is that in today's world, almost everyone embraces the idea of "hard work." But what they are really doing is embracing the idea of extreme effort. There are better outcomes than this over time. The modern problems we struggle with are increasingly not effort problems but imagination and ingenuity problems. They don't require more hard work but steady mediocre work that involves proper rest, strategy, and ease.
For example, I moved countries, and by doing that, I got a much higher standard of living with much less effort. Over time, I could work at a level I would not consider extreme effort but still align my life and financial goals.
Anyways, I might have misunderstood your viewpoint. Happy to be corrected.
Best comment. I couldn't agree more.
Okay david goggins

Tom - you are good - excellent in fact. I was with this channel with less than 500K. But I disagree with you in a key area. You (meaning you, Tom) can have kids and what that looks like is up to you. You have more money than me but as a upper-class father I can tell you this: kids are where the true joy comes in. Alongside a spouse that loves you (which you clearly have), nothing beats kids. I do see you evolving in this area, so one day, I hope it happens.
I do not care to consider the opinions of someone who actually thinks that you should be able to build a billion dollar business because they did.
Or you need to beat the other (lazy) 99% of losers to join the 1%. Some people might need to and want to hear that. I just hear someone insulting 99% of men as useless lazy losers.
Tom Bilyeu, I hope he does well in life, but him telling the guest what will happen in the future is just an example of the success fallacy. He sincerely believes that if you work hard enough, you will succeed. That is not the case, it certainly can be the case. But you should not give up and end you life if it doesn't work for you. Tom does not give 0.01% of the credit to luck. Luck is a SERIOUSLY LARGE contributor to success. Which means it cannot be predicted if your first customer in your new start up business ends up saving the business because they're a millionaire. And ended up giving you that jump start to be able to continue. No way to read the future. That is ACTUALLY impossible.
I blame the delusions on the abuse of stimulants
Take your last few sentences
All you had to do is solely make the last sentence the entire comment we working tho
Tom's passion is business and making money. 90% of people don't have that innate passion, thus they don't have the work ethic that Tom has. You can't teach passion. I have a passion for working out, so it's easy for me to do that every day. I'm in great shape. But I have never had a passion for making lots of money or starting a business. So all this motivational stuff from Tom isn't going to do much. It's like trying to motivate people to work out every day. Either you have it or you don't.
😂😂😂
Working out sounds like it's not a lot of fun. You like all those supplements?
If having kids would be the one and only reason and intend nature has - things would be way way easier! I love your energy and talks but see the time when you will be brought back to your knees again to begin your spiritual journey. As a good friend once said : the first 50 years is about learning how to build up and making your stand in this existence and the second half is learning to let go everything and giving in to the unevitable. And the first half is much easier as hard as it seems!
I am married, we have a daughter. When we have children, we, spouses, are still no. 1 priority for one another. And we are not conflicted. For me, instead of job, my daughter is priority after my husband. And nothing compares to the reality that we together in the end, love this new being who resembles so much to us.
Tom, I love you because you don't pull punches & have demonstrated everything you talk about !
Your podcast has the most practical information I listen to consistently. Is it possible to bleep your curses? I would like to listen in front of my sons while they pretend not to listen, but prefer they not hear the curses. Thank you.
One day I was praying and as I was praying I asked god why me, what did I do to deserve this? A voice came to me and said because you choose pain.
I truly believe in the saying no pain no gain.
So many ppl choose to be weak because it’s easy, being strong is hard.
This is why the world is in the state it’s in today. The world will not be destroyed by those who are evil as they are the minority, it will be destroyed by those who are weak.
Choosing the easy path will only make you worst and worst over time, it will kill any goodness or strength you have in you.
Caint be seven days!
I’m loving this summary of teleology, logotherapy, and eudaimonia. I wish everyone had to take an intro to philosophy course. These things shouldn’t be esoteric and yet they are. And, to your purpose in taking the time to speak about them, even a rudimentary understanding of these ideas, principles, and frameworks has the potential to completely change one’s life. Change a life, change the world.
Thank u, Tom! You have been a great mentor for me, your spiritual daughter. I love the way that u & Lisa thinks & view life. Keep it up! Many has benefited from both of u. Big Hugh’s & High Five! 🤗
A powerful and motivating video that challenges viewers to embrace the mindset of adaptability, overcome obstacles, and push past their comfort zones in order to achieve extraordinary success and separate themselves from the majority.
3 and1/2 hours of Pure Real. This is the heavy hitting sh*t! This man is like a master jazz musician able to riff off in wonderful explorations on the concepts we all know from all the other "gurus."
Dude Tom, you are an animal. Thee fire I see in you man is contagious. I wish I could afford your class or whatever. I know for a fact it would change my life completely
I appreciate you, thank you for your hard work Tom! Gotta be the change you want to see.
5 min in and already fully engaged, very effective speech!
Tom has some hard life lessons ahead.
I'm stoked to watch! Popcorn ready.
At 8 min and 30 secs, Tom says, "Value yourself for how hard you went at something, not on the successes... that hit home.
Wise words from a wise man
Be careful with emptiness when you live a very busy life!
just found this guy. some stellar interviews. But this vid made me realize this guy is a fucking goat
Tom is so EMOTIONALLY unevolved it makes me sad for him. All of that intelligence and doesn't let himself feel. Oof. I used to intellectualize the world too. It's so much less painful...but that's not The Way, my friend. You have to stop thinking you're right 😢
Say what? This man has the insight to know that he is pursuing specific paths and giving up others. And the ability to voice that being super successful in one area often compromises others: and tell people about said trade offs.
This man is trying to help younger members of his “squad” not learn through failure/pain of their own.
@@JamesDecker7 Nothing you said is mutually exclusive from what I said.
I agree with you @sierra9713 I am amazed by him and sad for him at the same time . He is so brilliant, but it's almost as if he is so used to controlling so many areas of his life with logic that he talks himself out of other enjoyable and perhaps emotional parts of life. But again, his mind is something astounding.
@@divinelyfocused I absolutely agree with you!
I'm confused by this comment...
Tom, to me, is very Emotionally Intelligent, self aware, and in-tune with his emotions. I think that's just the "feminine" side he attributes to himself.
I think Tom simply wants to succeed more than anything and thus realizes he must push beyond how he feels now to get to how he wants to feel in the long-run...
I wonder if the comment is coming from a place of rationalizing the lack of progress being experienced?
Has got to be the most mega epic self improvement monologe the algorithm has ever produced !!! He barely stops for breath
This video was like a giant summary of every video you've made in the last year. Literally touching up on young boys to relationships to mental health to health itself and then you just kept going and going. I said it before your channel is continued education and this video felt like the review sessions before the final 🤣. But in a good way, thank you very much!
Tom, my friend! If you are passionate about your work and your impact on the world through your work. I would suggest you will need to leave someone behind to pick up the torch when you are gone. Who better than your own blood and who do you have the most impression on in this world! I would argue that if you impress what you’re doing on your children, they will be the most fit to pick up the torch
Thank you so much Tom 🙏❤️
How is looking at cats doom scrolling? I thought doom scrolling was binging negative or doomsday news articles and social media? I can imagine according to Tom, scrolling anything for too long is doom scrilling in his mind. Hence doom-scrolling cats haha
You won’t have to worry about these things once you talk to Eckhart Tolle 😊
uh ok
48:24 “Everything will relent to your superior will” Now THAT’S a quote!
Tom, this is pure gold. Thank you so much for your time and devotion to share!
damn, this video is insane, inject it into my bloodstream, play it 24/7. great information, love the presentation.
Tom: I'm over here "manning up" on my comfy faux Florence Knoll chair, while you make do on folding chairs. Me: My ass is going numb just (edit: trying to receive) receiving this "encouragement." lol
nature’s ‘trick’ is actually a gift
This video was powerful- straight talk, no fluff. Tom, thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, routines and practices with us.
Great information man love it!!! FYI I love that this 3 hr video has less cut and paste/edited sections and fewer camera zooming or angle changes than the typical 15min TH-cam video literally. I appreciate that I believe it shows not only experience but excellence not having to conform to the norm. And that is only the video not even acknowledging the golden information shows you have a great team just like you explain thanks keep up the great work
Thanks guys!
Great podcast!
With all due respect Tom your intelligence is WAY above average!
This is now my most favorite video you have done! So you want to create the next Disney huh? I may have an idea you will like, PM me. Meanwhile I'm slowly working on my growth. Started with working out, now like to work out 12 hours a week. Next was intermittent fasting and working on diet. Currently looking into all things time blocking. Then about to move across the country to break some negative cycles and start working further down the list towards success!
Not about telling people how to live life but I think Tom is capable and equipped enough to balance children and business. But it's people like him who can really raise future generations of impact. To place your legacy in the hands of strangers is giving away your children's birth right and they're not in your lineage
Tom is super thorough and excellent. I really appreciate his lessons.
This is incredible, thanks!
Thank you very much
The term is taken from the RAF regiment motto: 'Adapt, Improvise & overcome" ... works everytime. And on that note, when are you going to... interview RFK?
I like that the interns got the foldout chairs with no armrest lol.
From 22:00 on ,Tom is 💯% correct on the topic of relationships and having children. Children put strain on the relationship. It’s not their fault but it’s the truth.
I loved this show; It really gave value that changed my life.
I might be wrong, but the way you answer all questions perfectly and don't even take a second to think makes me think that your answers are prepared in advance
I recall him addressing this indirectly in another video I watched where certain employees thought he was a fast thinker, but he said he processes information slowly and wishes he had higher fluid intelligence. What he does, however, is think deeply and long about things so that when he addresses things he’s thought deeply about, it appears fast.
With LOVE, this is your brain being petty. The answers whether prepared or not are GOLD. If you are right does that make you feel better, are you being right going to make you a better person, business man, healthier? I say this out of LOVE not criticism. So many of this do this. My self included. Let's cultivate a higher level.
@@SPUDRULZ31 Nop, it just makes it less sexy & impressive, that's all.
Really great video. Very helpful. Do you have another video or resource where you go into more specifics about diet, foods to avoid, and the microbiome?
“Create so much clarity & desire that nothing can stop u if u tried.”
Tom always has so much in his mind.
Enjoy this so much, so practical❤
Great episode
This is So good !!! Very very good !! When Truth come through to elevate your Whole being.. The secret unleashed.
I'm am so about to share
This feels a bit double to me. Must you ALWAYS be productive and push yourself? It feels like being on guard and ready for anything at all time. (I'm not talking about situations where you are prepared and relaxed more like waiting for the next explosion during a war).Yes of course some things has to be done but this mentality would put me in so much stress. Balance is key in everything but scheduling your whole waken time sounds like a nightmare. There is work, there is rest/freetime and there is sleep. Divide those three in a healthy way and when you have to do those hard, dreadful and boring things do go all in and be disciplined. This to me feels like a very male perspective like "work hard play hard". It will burn you out in the long run.
Yes. Balancing is important. Many people don't know about self care unfortunately even super famous people like him.
Having concerns about something is not weakness. Expecting regulation and laws to protect people from the data rich tech industry is not weakness. I do not have to get ahead of criminal behaviour or a lack of ethics. it's like telling a SA victim to adapt or die after being assaulted; adaptation is only possible is adaption is welcome; if you lose your job and all jobs are obsolete, most people just aren't going to be able to deal with that. That's just the reality. This hype train is underestimating the power of this technology in one direction vs the consequences in others. It's not going to be an overlord; however it will hurt milllions of people; those people are not weak; they will be victims. Let's not get this twisted.
It's not for everyone
Great video Tom, would definitely love another video on all the ways and tools you use to optimize cognition
Blading is so you're body area is reduces so something is less likely to hit you. This is a naturally stance for dodging. But if you wanna be that guy, go on.
Thanks for all that strenght, I really needed your words
What a great interview, great questions!
Love love love this, thank you for the new perspective
Love this one to one episode with Tom , as much as I love the interviews 🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻
Dude, this video is a great service to mankind. thanks!
LOVE these Q & A videos.
Love the chairs the three questioners are placed in. :)
Thank God for you ✝️
Thank-you for this video!
Those fellas are so ready the free candy bar buffet they were promised.
Go ahead be a Dad. You be a great one. Do not deny self that pleasure of life (children) It is .hard work but can be special molded ...mini Tom B or Lisa B.
2:49:00
Tom... please consider inviting two gentlemen to your podcast. I would love to see you question them. Jason Wilson - author of Cry Like a Man and Battle Cry and creator of training program Cave of Addullum. Also, Dr. Bobby Price, author of Vegucation over Medication. (Career Pharmacist turned Master Herbalist)
Nice video! Got me to sign up for a trial of ITU . Would have been nice to get an introduction of your 3 interviewers- are they your interns?
Thanks Tom. I needed some clarity
Tom is really enjoying the sound of his own voice and self-importance
Dang you really said this. That's a shhot in the foot
This applies ro anyone
Nice act tom
God bless you Tom 🙏🙏🙏.
he's actually great
The recent hyper masculine and alarmist vibe of this channel, Tom's apparent vibe of already knowing too much to be open to different or opposing ideas (see his video with Peter and Salim [love those guys]), the the title of this video, the length of this video....unsubscribing. Love Lisa though, she's killing it.
One thousand percent
Toxic feminism 🤮
He's young and he means well, show some respect to the young clint Eastwood
Is this an old episode?
Sad to head him talk about kids given his influence. How many successful people think back on their death bed thinking about their money or companies. It's about family.
S plane s plane more por favor
I guess being strong and toxic is fine, if you dont have kids. Once you have kids you need to mellow and work smarter, not harder, or your kids will not want to breed. I suppose if you are too toxic, even with all the money in the world, it will be difficult to find someone that will want to breed with you.
someone people just don't want kids, get a grip
“The most terrifying thing about excuses is that they are valid”- “Is” is misspelled in your description section…

Your timing on this video is impeccable. This too shall pass.
dude, Oppenheimer was long but this was brutal.
Appreciate it
Imagine you wear a precious necklace for many year, and it breaks, an you want to repair it and you do, and it breaks again and until you realise you need to put it into the CRASH CAN because internally you know it has reached the end of ONE DIVINE LINE,A AND YOU REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT, and it keeps on breaking, is what I read in your repetitions,Break you necklace, and interview the lost KNOWLEDGABLE, it would change your life and your TH-cam
