Join us as we explore the revolutionary idea of throwing away what we think we know and embarking on a real path to mastery. It's time to unf*ck your life and unlock your hidden potential.
This epic conversation with Adam will guide you on how to get 1% better every day and avoid the tragic fate of leaving your untapped potential trapped inside. Together, we will beat the odds and shatter the limitations that hold us back.
But that's not all and if you're ready for lasting change and eager to act as if you can transform anything you set your mind to, then this episode is a must-watch. Get ready to challenge the great myth of potential and discover what truly leaves people dormant.

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
New subscriber here. I enjoy listening to your content in the background.
Good podcasts again. 👍 The best.
There is one thing you didnt mention.
As a father of 3 that what you change in my mindset goes through me to my kids.
So this tripples.
Greetings from Oberbayern
The best way to improve yourself is to start a podcast or write a book giving people emotional cultural truisms that make them feel inspired briefly as though they are going to improve their lives. Collect money and use that money to improve your life.
Whelp, I guess we're finally out of the "crush your goals" phase. Now it's on to "un-f*ck" being the title of every fucking video on the planet.
Hayek, in "The Road to Serfdom," wrote a chapter titled "Why the Worst Get on Top." It explains everything about the evils of centralized power, especially why it's evil..
Adam shows a stunning lack of comprehension on the workforce reduction at twitter. It was not a simple downsizing. It was an aggressive purge of people actively thwarting and sabotaging the owner’s direction.
Exactly, and this is why it was absolutely necessary.
He also made clear that he does not care about freedom of speech.
I love that Tom is willing to say 'i'm gonna to make a moral judgement - you SHOULD do x,y,z'. I think we're living in a weird time where we're afraid to strike back at the notion that everything is equally ok. Its NOT! Being fitter is better than being fatter. Having useful skills that help you support your family is better than having skills that don't help you support your family. There is a hierarchy and some things are worse and i think we should (kindly) point these things out.
Weve been convinced by moral bullies that tell us, "all truths are equally valid" and "the only thing we don't tolerate is intolerance."
Um... No. I disagree with these moral statements. I believe some people are wrong. I believe there are plenty of behaviors we shouldn't tolerate. I think the concept of "intolerance" was just something bullies used to shut down well intentioned people trying to guide other people.
4:22 Power is power and agency is agency. They are not the same. Power is strength, agency is self control
Very interesting conversation, thank you Tom and Adam 🙏
People presenting as professionals/experts use their own perceptions of their lives as reality. Totally dangerous!
this is so REAL
A healthy reality.
People presenting as professionals meet together in dialog and listen to and thus add to both their realities, as with these two gentlemen. As third parties, we get to listen and analyze, compare and contrast to our realities. Likely if we are humble and self aware, we can find something from them we had not previously appropriated and would make our reality better.
And to add to that, almost ALL of these professionals are white men or privileged white women. They give advice, based on the tiny bubble they live in, and that much of the population will never be able to relate to
We have to cherry pick here what help us and trow away what doesn't
Hustle? Strive? Work hard and smarter? I'm competing with you? No, I'm really not. You can have it. All of it, if that's your game. I want less, not more. Want to show me how to unf*ck my life? Don't tell me what I need to do to beat the system. Show me how to flip it the bird and walk away from it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾exactly
Tom, at 11:19 you mention Warren Buffett "still going" in his eighties. It's even better and more impressive than that. Mr. Buffett was born in 1930. He is 93 years old. His business partner, Charlie Munger, recently passed away at age 99, just a month shy of his 100th birthday.
“Let’s map that out.” = explain your thinking because I think I disagree. What great skill to come to better understanding.
“Have you ever been to Morning Star, the tomato paste plant in Northern California?” Is going to be my new conversation ice breaker
100 % agree that most self-help advice is toxic . Instead of wasting time on positive thinking , affirmations , belief , Secret, start focusing on going direct to your behavior and start working on getting good daily habits.. If your desire is to manifest your goal, then you first need to specify it in great detail then ask yourself : What kind of habits the person who achieves this goal would have and what kind of skills would this person have ? Now, those become the road map ( Getting the right habits implemented in your life and getting the skillset for that particular goal that you have outlined in great detail ) ..Thinking alone, thoughts are not good enough ..Set the thinking side, set the positive thoughts positive affirmations and the idea that I believe in myself I can do anything attidue aside, and go direct into changing your behavior through getting good daily habits and the right skillset..
Thank me later : )
It's not an either or, all those things work as well esp when used in conjunction. Your behavior is a result of your belief systems. Hard to change your behaviors if you don't change the way you think first
I disagree ..My life has transformed in ways unimaginable once I shifted my entire approach , instead of building belief systems, I got rid of my belief systems and made a decision to go straight into my behavior and results have been remarkable..So my behaviors now are not a result of my belief system anymore. As I am now able to go straight into changing my behavior and start taking action right away it is the little concrete evidence that I pick up along the way that keeps me fueled and keeps me marching towards , not what I believe or think .. I hope this makes sense because once anyone uses this approach , their lives will also transform in ways unimaginable.. @@ThegrayareawithYvette
@@mustafabaris9681 getting rid of is a change lol. Glad you found your way
@@mustafabaris9681what aspects of your behavior did you chance ?
Agitation and fatigue are evolved biological drivers of behavior, not just pleasure and pain.
Self-Help is big business.
So glad I stumbled across your CZcams channel all those years back. 💯
First of Tom's conversations I had to change halfway through.
I love this show for its ability to navigate through ideological bullshit.
Seems in this instance at least, the guests load surpassed the shows ability to compensate for.
Like how some copy your color blue . Yu are one super duper honest guy on the planet. I look forward to the guest you bring on, coz I know how well you research them before bringing them on your show. Just want to say thank you for the immense energy you spend on making sure we get the best. Really wish I could meet you face to face.
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
Thirsc Susej.
Way to end the year Tom!
Although wish you interacted with the masses more than the occassional escape!
Why would he interact with people he doesn't know, let alone care for.
Did you guys know we're watching Impact theory? Incase you are confused they've got it on the cups, the mics, the background, AND the lower left corner! 🤣
Adam Grant has lost the plot with calling conservatives are conspiracy theorists, and that they were only "slightly" more censored. Interview was good until that point.
The wisdom encapsulated in this content has prompted a significant shift in my views. A similar book I read was deeply influential. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Various Authors
So so so good.
useful info to nuance the volume potential
Fixed Title: Most self-help advice is toxic.... Except this one! Take it!
How's the ironic and paradoxical title of the actual video lost on them... 🤣
Amen love ya
Investing in the stock market has HISTORICALLY provided higher returns than other forms of investment. According to Morningstar, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, which measures the performance of 500 large-cap stocks, was approximately 10% from 1926 to 2020.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over $610k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
@@maryHenokNft Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you?
Much credit goes to *Gertrude Margaret Quinto* for her significant contributions. She maintains an online presence, making it easy to locate her. While other advisors might pose challenges to find, Camille has proven to be an excellent mentor throughout the year.
Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend with when I hear back from gertrude
I finally understand. I like Tom Bilyeu, and I love black licorice.
I absolutely love black licorice. It's really rare to find someone who likes salty black licorice and there's many levels of salty.
This is good
Adam sounds like someone who has spent his life talking about how to do great things but has never done anything great. He also sounds like the type of person who thinks more government and more management is the answer.
I have not researched him yet but I would be surprised if he has ever built a business.
Dude, I'm only 40 mins in and I've had like 15 ads pop up! WTH!
Pay and go ad free then. Simple.
@@how_you_talk Not when he already charges monthly for his academy. Not that simple!
It will say ad blockers are not allowed but just x that screen out and hit play
Adam's deep bias is that as an "organizational psychologist, he likes to start with the evidence first" (this isn't actually real) 🤔 instead of "thinking out loud", which he should do more of not less. When discussing human capital at length, org psychologists like Adam, set the conversation back, not forward (unfortunately).
I love the title of this post lol
Why am I paying for you tube premium when they can insert ads into the video 👎🏻
How do you feel about expectations of the significant other with entrepreneurs. If they Support but don't have full involvement.

A new respect for Tom for engaging in controversial topics that most seem to avoid. Thank you.
27:00 thats the point I service for the society so i sleep well
Is this guy seriously using Wikipedia as an example of accurate information?
What is this guy really an expert in? Downsizing is the best thing a bloated company like Twitter could have done, plus it was crucial to their survival. My former company was more productive when we downsized and just kept the A&B players. You really can do more with less if you have the right people, and twitter didn't have irreplaceable people. Everyone except the owner is replaceable, so this guy is just talking out his ass and he hasn't given me one good takeaway from this episode. My new company I'm running received a well needed twitter overhaul and is becoming more efficient with the new structure because I don't have the weaker players bringing down the A players.
They were like break even before Elon Musk arrive. He is the reason it became a panic because lot of companies stopped use it for advertising. Not saying he did this wrong just saying it wasnt bleeding like that before. You could have prob reach profit with less cuts if Advertisers were treated better.
He is a socialist dude
There is no data that exists from other companies that could possibly give you insight into outcomes of Elon's decision. Elon is 1 of 1. You're not comparing apples to apples.
Downsizing was brilliant and the proof is already here. Surprised this guy still feels it was a bad idea.
Mind blogging really.
I just take action
1:44 That's why Ai will teach humanity what be human really means.
11:15 Warren Buffett is not in his 80s, he's 93 but still going.
Buffet suffers from some kind of Hoarder 😮disorder,collecting stuff he can never Enjoy 😂😂😂 hoping I can get his Dis order 😂😂😂
Big fan love your videos what is the very best prenatal vitamins u are aware of
WOW, way off on Musk's downsizing of X.
Tom if you only asking your guest the questions that you want based on your current understanding and knowledge what about us because with that you don't think of us and our level of knowledge tanks
I like black licorice and I like the impact theory
“Because you’re gonna go up against me, and I’m going all 3.”
It’s rock, paper, scissors. If my “smart” part of the equation is 3x smarter than you, I can put in a fraction of the effort you’re putting in and you’ll hate me for it.
Have you ever thought that the "evolutionary standpoint" might be totally wrong???

Wake up, or we will all be in trouble! Friends, the international social project Creative Society is gaining momentum in the world! People from different countries, nationalities, and religions unite to build a fair society! Only together we can change everything! I told you the truth, everything is in our hands!
This is a very serious request....I've had huge success SUDDENLY which doubled overall company sales overnight. Company wants to renegotiate my sales contract (severely lower). Went from $12 mil, to $52 mil, to $188 mil in 2021, 2022 and 2023. How do I defend myself given I've been the greatest sales person since inception in 1991!
Get yourself an executive coach.
System possession also very interesting subject. collectivism or any group really, when you in any group, you become small screw in big machine. You become unimportant piece. With group think or being in any group, that controls your thinking, your acts, world view or even your mouth. Even your words become not belong you. Because you become character, personality of that group. This reality playing very sneaky game. So thats why group think, collectivism or any group actually very bad thing. Because that psychology not only control your mind, also control your words too. Communism capitalism left right etc. it's all example for system possession. This also creates NPC like behavior. Another example: Goverment control your mind with every level and tells you what you do, think. Even small groups creates this effects. in this reality if you dont use your free will and think for yourself, it's very bad thing. You also hear for knowing yourself. if every thing decided for you, and you follow like robot. who are you then ? First take control yourself and break that possession. This is real meaning of body snatchers. Dont become some caricature and small screw in somebodys group. Think about this subjects and become actual person.
Oh my word, 'downsizing potential with Elon". I mean if there was a study about thig, how come HR specialists especially in the newspaper business. Surely adapting to downsizing is the better option and I suppose the company would have to be very honest with their intent.
I have not read through all the comments so this could be a repeat.
AI will co tribute to loss of jobs and make tasks easier, faster and hence cheaper.
Cost of goods and services coming down would mean I and others can retire earlier to do what we want in retirement. AI just might be, used in this way, offer the great rise in the standard of living we have ever seen.
Bro! I have said the same exact shit about being like black licorice my whole life. Wtf.
23:34
Someone is coming for Mark Manson and/or Gary J. Bishop in this title? 🤔
Why did I never really notice your ears yet? Anyway... thanks for helping people understand that your actual actions support your desire to improve. You know this; you are where you are because of every decision you made. Move, stand still or ... each has a result. If one has a 1,000 step path to get to success, have they "failed" if they get to 871 and stop? Often the answer is nope. You want to improve 1% every day... but in the end average .6724% better daily. Would you not engage if you knew that was the potential outcome? Intense focus and purposeful actions based on a heart searing why are true drivers.
They're all I can see now!
Please get Sam Ovens on the show.
Real past to mastery - 1% better everyday 10 year plan in 1 year
This conversation almost had me looking more into Adam Grant and buying his book. But then when Tom started getting into the details about real issues, real progress, real businesses, hard decisions, nuances, etc, Adam just started to sound like every other conservative consultant - trotting out answers that would be accepted by his corporate overlords. Adam offered very little (if anything) in the way of independent and critical thought. His views had little in the way of practical depth, and he expressed strong opinions on things without having done the work involved in being 360' informed. I am not saying that I am super informed, but on many issues discussed in this podcast I have been exposed to multiple views and Adam's was the most uncontroversial, uninformed, shallow and bland that I have heard at this level. I thought it was great that Tom has the confidence and real-world credentials to take it to people like Adam. Makes for interesting listening, even when one side of the conversation sounds like an Apple/Google/Microsoft staff meeting.
What all self-help people will not tell you is that there is no self that needs helping.
Huh?
@@mtenniswood The self is an illusion why people will always be seeking self help cause there is no self to help.
The vocal fry is quite distracting
21:10
My self help advice to Tom....
Stop wearing those stupid caps backwards during interviews!
TOM Today UK SUPREME COURT CONFIRMS AI CANNOT PATENT INVENSIONS , I thought I'd drop this in view of the show with Emad Mostaque , It looks like someone is paying attention 😄💯
Marriage does last forever not give up no my dreams in real life
Came for the productivity conversation, but Tom pulled the discussion back to culture wars AGAIN. Not what I subscribed for.
Adam did and Tom was just trying to put some reality on his stupid comments.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Reading people as a hobby for years, i can't take this guy seriously his vocal fry, the facial gestures when he speaks, the look in his eyes, everything should tell you to stay away from him.
You tube......narcisst annon.
Play Ark Survival! :D You'll learn quite a bit.
This guy is really going to imply that Elon doesn't know how to Manage companies and thinks his strategies weren't significant. I'm out lol.....ridiculous
He's so wrong about so many things he's saying. And all his "wisdom" is directly regurgitated from the audiobooks I listened to 6 years ago (plus all of Malcolm Gladwell's books).
2023 was a challenging year, but I managed to make $100,000 before taxes as the sole breadwinner and head of household. It's a good starting point, but I'm always looking ahead on how to improve. I have 2 autoloans and hoping for a miracle to offset them as refinancing is more expensive in the long run.
I wish the host let the guest speak more
This guy has so much bullshit in his "talk" I'm glad Tom stepped in. In fact, I would have liked to see more of it. What's the point in having a guest on if you don't interact with them and debate what they are saying?
I don't trust this Adam guy.
dude looks like a vampire )))))
who is interviewing whom? complete chaos...
So is this guy from CNN? Definately one of those caviarleftists.
I understand this is a business, but this is the first time I’ve actually been pissed off by the sheer amount and length of ads on a podcast. Difficult to stay engaged with the constant interruptions. You’ve gained $ from advertising heaps but have lost a listener.
This dude is using some study to explain why Elon is wrong in his management style? What did Goggins say about these "experts" again?
Stop relying on tech and go and have a real child
Pretty sure hunting and protecting the tribe was more dangerous than child birth.
There's something off about that guy...
Difficult to take seriously people with vocal fry, As they already showing they don't give a sh*t.
Nowadays ,Business is the sport cause there everyone want/need to outcompete others. So a man is successful when it is not good, but the best. It is a sick practise, which makes the whole world go nuts.
In other words you are successful if you bring down everyone else.
I hope next big crisis will shape the minds of the people properly.
Valhallah???
Amount of ads that break the flow of the conversation is very off-putting, especially since no lack of ad revenue. Give back some Time.
At least half of what this guy said is not believable. Too biased and not real life enough.
you bring people to watch you talk, at least let your guests chat xD
This guy has so much bullshit in his "talk" I'm glad Tom stepped in. In fact, I would have liked to see more of it. What's the point in having a guest on if you don't interact with them and debate what they are saying?
Hilarious coming from a self help channel lol.
Great conversatio, you can tell this guy is a wokey when they started talking about X
28th like, second comment 🥈
I thinks this is irrelevant to make examples of succes from sport world and athletes and compare this with success in entrepreneurship or career from regular jobs, because sport have very genetically predetermined things, such as height, nervous systems, thickness of bones vo2max ability to recover from injuries, these things very genetical, despite of real world succes where you have to do many hard skills and more importantly soft skills and emotional quotient, which are can be developed and not so genetically predisposed
That's a very fixed mindset. Genetics play a pretty minor role overall and can help of course, but it's the effort someone puts into learning and practice that separates the good from the great. Read a few books on the subject, peak is a good one. Hard work will beat genetics over and over in a ton of areas
@@ThegrayareawithYvette tell that the guys who competed agains mat Fraser in CrossFit, or guys who competed with Michael Phelps, or opponents of Floyd mayweither, those guys trained not less or even more, but they didn’t have chance to win.
You have fixed mindset if you think that in top 3 or top 5 athletes in theirs sports that somebody lazy or not working hard all of them train 2-3 times a day, but usually the champion only one and the one who has best genetic. I can tell about a lot sport disciplines where somebody no matter how hard he trained or she, they always second or third not because “not train hard and bla bla bla” but because lack of talent and genetics. Talent and hard work always beat just hard work that’s the case. You imagine yourself very strict picture, where talent guy just sit and do nothing and where hard work guy train 24/7, what if I tell you that talent guy also train 24/7? Don’t you think that’s is happen all the time! And in this case just hard work is not enough because lack of talent
Sorry friend but wiki is obviously manipulated. And it is hard to take a man serious about his knowledge on other subjects when he lacks the knowledge of a group of people creating political persecution
I wouldn't doubt some articles or pages are littered with bias or inaccuracies, but making the statement that Wikipedia is generally manipulated is quite a bold one, I'd be willing to bet 95% of the info on there is undeniably factual
Not taking advice from a guy who thinks "everyday" is an adverb.
