After IMPACT: Tim Ferriss

Tom Bilyeu and Cindy field questions from the Impact Theory Community including:  Tom, who is your favorite Super hero, and what was the most IMPACTful moment in comic book history for you personally. And how do comic books fit into modern day mythology? Have you considered having a guest perform one of their key skills with you and then deconstruct it during the show? (e.g. red teaming with Tim Ferriss) Tom I'm thinking of leaving my secure job with a great pension. I want to go into teaching but I still want to be more secure in what I want to do. Any suggestions? Wish I had had this content when I was 20 instead of 70. Listen up when you are young enough to put these life and job skills to work for you. Any suggestions for us retired folks? And more...  Tom Bilyeu is the co-founder of 2014 Inc. 500 company Quest Nutrition — a unicorn startup valued at over $1 billion — and the co-founder and host of Impact Theory.

Q&A on Superheroes, Skill Tests, and Mindset at Retirement

Sports Illustrated calls Trevor Moawad “the world’s best brain trainer.” With an accolade like that, and a history of working with the world’s elite athletes, you might expect him to have some sort of fancy, highly-complex system. If so, your expectations would be wrong. Moawad keeps it simple and straight-forward, focusing on changing what people say, what they consume, and how they form habits. On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Trevor Moawad discusses a realistic alternative to the trendy idea of positive thinking, explains the connection between what you say out loud and how your life turns out, and proves conclusively that, contrary to popular belief, your past does not predict your future.

So think about that. If I say something out loud, it’s 10x. If it’s negative, it’s four to seven times more powerful. So when I say negative things out loud, it’s 40 to 70 times more likely that that will happen--or cause a result that won’t be good for me--than if I just didn’t say anything.” [7:21] &nbsp; “If you say stupid sh*t out loud ultimately you’re predicting and perpetuating exactly what you don’t want to have happen.” [13:42] &nbsp; “The past is real. But the only thing that makes it predictive is if my behavior stays the same.” [16:00] &nbsp; FOLLOW: &nbsp; WEBSITE:  INSTAGRAM: &nbsp; FACEBOOK: &nbsp; TWITTER: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: &nbsp; “It Takes What It Takes: How to Think Neutrally and Gain Control of Your Life”, Trevor Moawad &nbsp; “Man’s Search for Meaning”, Viktor Frankl &nbsp;

Trevor Moawad on How to Control Your Negative Thoughts | Impact Theory

We have over-complicated health and wellness. And we may be emphasizing food and exercise too much when stress, touch and sex are just as important. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee knows that people are needlessly suffering, and change is quite possible. Not only is it possible, but it may be much simpler than most people realize. On this episode of Conversations with Tom, Rangan and Tom Bilyeu discuss how crucially important human touch is, and talk extensively about how harmful stress is. Dr. Chatterjee even claims that stress is a bigger part of digestive disorders than food is. This is not the only controversial claim he makes, but he has both the research and the life experience treating patients to back up what he says. After watching this episode you may very well conclude that it’s the simple things that we need to get right: human touch, intimacy, and relaxation. The complexity and the tech can wait.
