Tom has ruined all other interviewers for me. I can no longer sit through an interview where Tom is not the host. Nobody cares more about their guests than he does. The depth of his questions takes the conversation to a whole new level. We all know he puts in crazy hours to deliver these episodes, and I for one, cannot thank him enough. But, I also can't watch other interviews (sometimes with the same guest) thinking, "oh come on! This is so boring! Tom would never ask such basic questions!". So yeah. Another great interview Tom. Thank you. 🙂
When I say this interview touched my soul! I was hit by a cement truck, brother murdered, lost everything, and in the best mental space I have been in my life. These last 6 weeks away from everything has helped in my healing process. Like I told you Tom, I will be on your show. I was on Cutthroat Kitchen July 12, 2017. That was taped 2 months after my accident. I have to finish my book, but also get on the platform to help people who live in one moment for years.
Watching this in 2022 and even though I'm tempted to feel late to the show, I choose to believe I'm right on time, the information is still as relevant and as a learner, I have room to take in more. Thanks, Tom and Jay.
Impact Theory Phenomenon strikes again!!!! This one made me realize that I needed to stop fully beating myself up for all the missed opportunities that I had while I was in my fixed mindset life. All my shortcomings, all of my downfalls, resenting the fact that I could be a differnt person if I had know this or that. Or if I hadn't given up when, but to truly know that at any stage of my life, you will have opportunities to become something. I may have missed a lot of them when growing up, but it's only my choice to keep missing any opportunities that I can have now. It's been a short time, and I am a new born into this life, I am young and will always be young. I have so much to do, so much to accomplish, and so many opportunities to grab a hold of.
Wow thank you for your post. Really helps me now and how I feel. I need to read comments more often. It's hard when u don't really have anyone to talk to or gets it. Thank I for sharing your feedback
I dont think I could ever say "I'm grateful my child died at 17yrs old" but I made sure my transcendence equals my pain. She inspires and motivates me to be the best that I can be.. I also went from why me? To why not me? This life was designed for me so I needed to make sure I was living it and not being crushed by it. Great interview
“You never get better if you don’t put in the time” this is something super simple but the deeper meaning is powerful. What an amazing interview. I love Tom and he truly cares about the person on the other side and wants to spread his mission and the persons mission. God bless! What a story jay! Thank you.
When you think you've heard it all .... and tom finds another guest, another inspirational speech for you to move forward, for you to refill the motivational jar. Let's get back to work guys!
wheeeeeeeeew! fucking amazing. it astonishes me how tom made all that money and decided to do a show like this for the people. your humility is what makes me dig you brother. i wish you the best and thanks 🙏
Jay Williams he has the magic! You killed it on this interview Tom, killed it brother!! I gleaned some so much from this conversation. It is never too late to change trajectory!
This statement right here..... It's incredibly powerful to see the wisdom that people can mine out of the things that happen to them.....IF THEY CHOOSE TO!
I JUST HAD TO SEE THIS VIDEO. I SAW AN EXCERPT OF IT A FEW DAYS AGO, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE CHANNEL IT WAS ON. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT, I BECAME A SUBSCRIBER. THIS INTERVIEW WAS AMAZING & MIND ALTERING. THE PERSPECTIVES THAT WAS GIVEN IN THIS HOUR LONG SEGMENT WAS INCREDIBLE, INSIGHTFUL, ARTICULATE, & TO THE POINT. IT JUST SHOWS THAT ALL OF THE SOLUTIONS TO OUR INNNER PROBLEMS & VICTORIES LIES WITHIN OUR MINDS. GOOD SHOW.
Hey Tom, Tiff from Australia. This was such an amazing interview. I didn't achieve my ultimate dream of becoming the number 1 tennis player in the world. It was devastating for me... I didn't even get half way. I have always been so angry and disappointed with myself over the years and really beat myself up mentally so much. So when I was listening to Jay's story it had such an impact. And I could really resonate with his story since I have been an athlete in pursuit of a dream. I still go through the mental beat ups because the lessons I have learned over the years has taught me to never give up on my dreams...(I still ask the questions to myself will I ever get there, I put in the work and I have the passion)! You have achieved so much already and continue to have an impact on me and as you can see many others. Thanks you for such an awesome interview! Tiff :)
I’ve listened to this interview twice today. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more out of a hearing a life story. And especially one so young. I now have a new example of success & so many new ways to look at thriving after adversity. To hear how MUCH money there is, and how that no longer defines his “success” was beautiful. Tom - thank you!
I just loved the part where Tom says "I don't believe things happen for a reason, but is incredibly powerful to see the wisdom that people can mine from whatever has happened to them" (if they choose). And that is so true. Life doesn't know about justice, injustice it is just your perception and how you decide to see things. You can choose to let those things to sink you, or you can choose to learn from those and inspire yourself to greater things.
I would be glued to a reality tv show following someone's life like Jay's. As a society we are systematically feeding people's minds and body's with garbage...then you stumble across this and other great influencers and hope increases exponentially. Fantastic interview.
My first time watching this interview. I must say he’s on point. Please read this book. I read this book and I must say that this was an eye opening experience.
This is definitely my favorite interview that you've done so far. I was such a fan of this guy since he was in high school. I remember seeing him in the McDonald's game and mimicking the moves he was doing when I play basketball. And I always wondered what he went through emotionally to go from such a high place to such a low place. And it's very eye-opening to hear that what he went through was even more tough then I had imagined. You can tell by the way somebody talks how much depth they have to their being which only comes from countless hours of self-reflection and that is just something that money cannot replace. Thank you both
I just realized I clicked the like button before even watching the video if that is not a signal how much I like impact theory... Let`s see the interview now xD
Tom, I have listened to many interviewers, and want you to know how much I value the preparation, curiosity, and passion you bring to each impact interview. You are making an impact in my life! Thank you, and keep going
Hi Tom, I recently discovered your videos and have watched dozens of your interviews already and could not be happier I discovered you and your channel. Just off the start your personality shines through in your interviewing style and seeing you legitimately interested in the speakers and ask such great questions really resonates with me. I am 22 and too have struggled with depression, multiple suicide attempts and even spiritual pain as I discovered the profound effects of my subconscious mind and my greater nature beyond this life. It's made me feel alone and as If I couldn't relate to anyone, for multiple reasons but I always held true that I wanted better for me and my family because Ive suffered and ive seen my family suffer and friends suffer and its makes me sick because I feel as though for all the good ive seen in them they deserve better. I feel like I have the ability to rise above and help bring up those around me but the biggest challenge has been looking inside and learning how to dance with my demons and lay them to rest. Anyway, I just wanted to write to you because I am wildly passionate about nutrition, mental health, and helping others and am writing my second ebook about Brain Health! I am no experienced writer and definitely am still learning more daily about the topics I discuss but what I have learned helped me so much I wanted to share that information with anyone I can in hopes that maybe it will allow someone to see past their own darkness. I was hoping when it's finished if I could send you a copy for free in hopes that you might gain some value from it! Or maybe even remember something you may have forgotten! Thank you for being you and doing what you do and sorry this is a wall of text... :) Eddie
This is life is such a journey, and it's hard and it hurts. I'm glad your channel is here to help us learn to better ourselves and really connect to each other. I will try (yet) again.. Love you and your wife, Tom! Good luck, Jay Williams! Thank for this interview.
Ok I just started my day with this and...... it was incredible and I am just overflowing with gratitude for this program!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻
Every time I finish watching an impact theory episode, it leaves me feeling that it was the best interview with the best content I've ever watched, but now I have just realized that Tom brings so much value in every single episode. each episode brings to me great thoughts that makes me think about where am I right now in my life and where I want to go. In this episode Jay has touched my emotional thoughts deeply and positively, Thank you Jay!!! Thank you Tom!! FYI I already ordered your book Jay, anxiously waiting to read it :)
Tom: you write the most captivating, heartfelt, well-researched introductions for your guests, and pay them such tribute as you verbalize them prior to your interviews, it leaves me speechless. Please, as you move forward in your film projects please please do not ever leave us without the lifeblood of impact theory
Jay is right on with the strategy of pressing pause on life and reframing if you find yourself in a negative mental loop. It might feel strange at first but with practice, it becomes easier and as Tom might say, it can definitely help you begin to unlock your super powers.
Hey Tom, Im extremely hungry for success everyday I wake up and I work hard at it, yet Im surrounded by people who just want to chill and look forward to get through the day. Your videos keep me sane knowing there are others out there who have the same feelings and share how they was able to live up to their goals. Thank you!
Hi Tom! Thank you so much for this interview. Honestly, for me this is one of the most intense interviews out there! By the way he sees things you can really tell the transformation he has gone through. Love from Germany!!
Tom I keep watching all the episodes of Impact Theory and Inside Quest, you know what, you are my inspiration and one day I will sit down with you and do the interview myself. This is one of your best interview and you are well researched in every guest. Keep it up. Really hoping to see you one day in person and hug you.
Great interview tom. You have a way with these interviews and the people you interview that truly shows that you did your homework and most importantly care about them and their story. Keep it up brother. Great work
Great episode. As a non-sports fan I never would have stumbled upon Jay Williams' story myself, but I am definitely looking forward to reading his book now. Key impact points for me from this episode: 1. The Kobe story. I'm enormously competitive with myself but always considered myself more of a collaborator than a competitor externally. Competition with others has always felt aggressive and unpleasant because I consider it nothing but a primal battle for dominance. Kobe's frame of extreme competition with others as being a mark of respect and appreciation for their ability is an interesting perspective for me to think on. 2. "The more you can start looking at adversity by saying: “why not me?” You approach things with a completely different mentality." I have a very easy time feeling like I'm not the guy for the job and discounting myself before I actually try. In those moments I am going to remember this and consciously ask: "why not me?"
i'm ferry happy that i found this interview, and i dind't even know what the host his name was man,a few hours ago was looking at a motiv ation/advice video where i saw him speaking and i was like i need to know this guy's name knowing that i had allready subscribed to his channel 'and this video deserves a 1M and more views,it sort of got me back cause i'm an athlete aswel haha
I live this show. Listening to these stories while drawing in roam with coacroaches and chasing mys dreams. Woukdn't exchange it for imdb top 100 movie list. Jay is a such nice person + kickass story behind. ( & that story with Coby.... ) Waiting for more !
Tom, I am a Theist (of the historic Christian variety), but I find that I agree with you in regards to the "everything happens for a reason" bromide. In Christianity specifically, I hear this idea pretty often. "God allowed this for such-and-such a purpose", "God won't give you something you can't handle", etc. Besides my theological reasons for not agreeing with this idea, I find that it's just not practical or helpful. I don't see any way in which rape can be meaningfully said to have a purpose. The same with molestation, murder, eating disorders, PTSD, and the list goes on. These extreme negatives can be leveraged to catalyze extreme positives, so much so that we're tempted to say that they "happened for a reason", but this doesn't justify those events or circumstances or actions that deform our humanity: body, mind, or spirit. We may have differing spiritual world-views, but we agree here. I find so much value in your content, Tom. I'm genuinely thankful for you!
Good lord. You are VERY good at articulating your point. Always a joy to hear from people that can agree and disagree with equal clarity, respect, and grace. Thanks for taking the time to write in. You are definitely preaching to the choir on this one. And you certainly said it far better than I did. I hope a lot of people read your comment.
Thank you for the kind words, brother. I won't spam every video with comments, but I thrive on respectful dialogue and it seems that you've fostered a community that does just that. I look forward to more interaction with you and the....Bilyeuians? Bilyites?...the Tom Bilyeu followers. :P Your comment on the issue was so brief in this interview, I just happened to pick up on it and wanted to voice my agreement. I'm sure that, if you had the time, you could have put it just as (if not more) articulately!
Point well taken. If I had thought of that scenario, it probably would have been categorized (in my mind, at least) under "punitive action". I was thinking more in terms of random acts of evil. But even then, and to contradict myself, I would listen to the parents as well. And you're welcome! I had forgotten that it had anything to do with chemistry, so thanks for the reminder.
Just bought the book on Audible. Also, yesterday I made my first sale. Turning my retro video game hobby into a business by helping others upgrade their game consoles to work better than they were ever originally engineered to.
A couple of things. I think I'm in love with Tom Bilyeu. You are next level brother. You're interview's, interviewee's, preparation, introductions are insanely good. You've helped improve me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Keep up the amazing work brother! If ever you're in London I have to meet you. Okay so maybe that was more than a couple of things but you get the gist.
Tom has ruined all other interviewers for me. I can no longer sit through an interview where Tom is not the host.
Nobody cares more about their guests than he does. The depth of his questions takes the conversation to a whole new level. We all know he puts in crazy hours to deliver these episodes, and I for one, cannot thank him enough.
But, I also can't watch other interviews (sometimes with the same guest) thinking, "oh come on! This is so boring! Tom would never ask such basic questions!".
So yeah. Another great interview Tom. Thank you. 🙂
Completely agree!
Hits the nail on the head, well said Preet
You had me at hello. ;-) Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Amazing how no matter what question you are asked, you can rapid fire out a very interesting answer.
ABSOLUTELY true!!! Love this show!
16:30 - 18:30 Kobe Bryant, RIP
When I say this interview touched my soul! I was hit by a cement truck, brother murdered, lost everything, and in the best mental space I have been in my life. These last 6 weeks away from everything has helped in my healing process. Like I told you Tom, I will be on your show. I was on Cutthroat Kitchen July 12, 2017. That was taped 2 months after my accident. I have to finish my book, but also get on the platform to help people who live in one moment for years.
That really is a crazy story! A testament to you that you're in a better than ever mental place! That's what it's about!
Can't wait to see u girl! Such an inspiration
Chef Tre'J
Where are you today Chef Tre'J? Good or bad I support you! What do you need?
God bless you
Watching this in 2022 and even though I'm tempted to feel late to the show, I choose to believe I'm right on time, the information is still as relevant and as a learner, I have room to take in more. Thanks, Tom and Jay.
46 years young, I am, and getting better all the time, through the falls and the comebacks. Great talk!😀🙃
It's all about those comebacks! You know!
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! I am on the flipsyde, coming back strong!
Hey Gabrielle I am the same! 46 years on this earth and I have only just begun :)
Yeas! We got this!!!
Tiffany Mika I’m with ya!! Making every day a journey is the best thing that comes with age.
Impact Theory Phenomenon strikes again!!!!

Yes! So well said, Joshua!!! That's a critical insight!
Thanks Tom!

"I came back mentally... thats a story..."
Right?! I love that quote.
AnaSof Fidalgo that one hit me too!!!! So good
from the depths of my soul thank you!!
This statement right here.....
It's incredibly powerful to see the wisdom that people can mine out of the things that happen to them.....IF THEY CHOOSE TO!
I JUST HAD TO SEE THIS VIDEO. I SAW AN EXCERPT OF IT A FEW DAYS AGO, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE CHANNEL IT WAS ON. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT, I BECAME A SUBSCRIBER.

Best interview ever! This guy has so much emotions in his eyes. I almost cried watching this . Great video Tom and Jay!

I would be glued to a reality tv show following someone's life like Jay's. As a society we are systematically feeding people's minds and body's with garbage...then you stumble across this and other great influencers and hope increases exponentially. Fantastic interview.
Tom you are the BEST interviewer ever! You have a gift of being insightful and asking great questions and having a great dialogue with your guests.
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
This was one of the best yet! Much more conversational than usual. Thanks for introducing me to Jay Williams.
Introducing Jay to anyone is my honor! So glad he resonated with you!
By far your best interview yet Tom. Many Thanks!
So glad you liked it! Jay is amazing!
My first time watching this interview. I must say he’s on point. Please read this book. I read this book and I must say that this was an eye opening experience.
MIND BLOWING interview... must watch!
So glad Jay resonated with you! He really got under my skin in the best way possible. And incredible dude.
Tom....BRILLIANT GUEST and INTERVIEW! Loved it. Amazing Story!!!!!!
So glad you liked it!
This is definitely my favorite interview that you've done so far. I was such a fan of this guy since he was in high school.

And I always wondered what he went through emotionally to go from such a high place to such a low place. And it's very eye-opening to hear that what he went through was even more tough then I had imagined. You can tell by the way somebody talks how much depth they have to their being which only comes from countless hours of self-reflection and that is just something that money cannot replace. Thank you both
I just realized I clicked the like button before even watching the video if that is not a signal how much I like impact theory... Let`s see the interview now xD
My Entrepreneurial Drive haha snap!
Haha! I love that! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Tom, I have listened to many interviewers, and want you to know how much I value the preparation, curiosity, and passion you bring to each impact interview. You are making an impact in my life! Thank you, and keep going

"...The money will take care of itself. If I impact people, the rest will happen.."
STRAIGHT FACTS!
This is life is such a journey, and it's hard and it hurts. I'm glad your channel is here to help us learn to better ourselves and really connect to each other. I will try (yet) again.. Love you and your wife, Tom! Good luck, Jay Williams! Thank for this interview.
Love how tom comes up with all those question..
i absolutely loved the episode...your content is certainly adding value to my life...!!
I'm so glad! Thanks for saying so!

"I'm the way out for everyone " God dammmm
Right?!
What a powerful conversation. 👏
2020. Still love this video. Congratulation Tom, your videos changed many lifes forever. You are one of the best. 💪
Tom: you write the most captivating, heartfelt, well-researched introductions for your guests, and pay them such tribute as you verbalize them prior to your interviews, it leaves me speechless. Please, as you move forward in your film projects please please do not ever leave us without the lifeblood of impact theory
Wow what an amazing episode. One of my favorites
Awesome! He blew me away. His story is so powerful.
Jay is right on with the strategy of pressing pause on life and reframing if you find yourself in a negative mental loop.
It might feel strange at first but with practice, it becomes easier and as Tom might say, it can definitely help you begin to unlock your super powers.
Your best interview Tom!! Congratulations!!
I don't usually comment however, this was amazing truly inspirational.
Love my Impact Theory! Another solid episode.
@6:22 this guy is so honest and open! This is so good!
Hey Tom, Im extremely hungry for success everyday I wake up and I work hard at it, yet Im surrounded by people who just want to chill and look forward to get through the day. Your videos keep me sane knowing there are others out there who have the same feelings and share how they was able to live up to their goals. Thank you!
Hi Tom!
Thank you so much for this interview. Honestly, for me this is one of the most intense interviews out there!
By the way he sees things you can really tell the transformation he has gone through.
Love from Germany!!
Tom I keep watching all the episodes of Impact Theory and Inside Quest, you know what, you are my inspiration and one day I will sit down with you and do the interview myself. This is one of your best interview and you are well researched in every guest. Keep it up. Really hoping to see you one day in person and hug you.
Great interview tom.
You have a way with these interviews and the people you interview that truly shows that you did your homework and most importantly care about them and their story.
Keep it up brother. Great work
Great episode. As a non-sports fan I never would have stumbled upon Jay Williams' story myself, but I am definitely looking forward to reading his book now.
Key impact points for me from this episode:
1. The Kobe story. I'm enormously competitive with myself but always considered myself more of a collaborator than a competitor externally. Competition with others has always felt aggressive and unpleasant because I consider it nothing but a primal battle for dominance. Kobe's frame of extreme competition with others as being a mark of respect and appreciation for their ability is an interesting perspective for me to think on.
2. "The more you can start looking at adversity by saying: “why not me?” You approach things with a completely different mentality."
I have a very easy time feeling like I'm not the guy for the job and discounting myself before I actually try. In those moments I am going to remember this and consciously ask: "why not me?"
Your takeaways are insanely powerful! I think you're right on the money!
This is great .I never knew about this guy. He is so smart in my opnion.
Talking from the hart ,to the point.
i'm ferry happy that i found this interview, and i dind't even know what the host his name was man,a few hours ago was looking at a motiv ation/advice video where i saw him speaking and i was like i need to know this guy's name knowing that i had allready subscribed to his channel 'and this video deserves a 1M and more views,it sort of got me back cause i'm an athlete aswel haha
Thank you for the kind words! And so glad Jay hit you hard. He hit hard with me as well.
Beautiful interview. One of the best I have ever seen.
So glad you liked it! Jay was so raw. Amazing on his part.
Tom Bilyeu absolutely, I felt his words deeply.
Wow. At a loss of words to describe how powerful this was. Two incredibly intelligent men!! Thank you for this!
Wonderful honoring of souls!
I think you should special release that little 2 minute clip. A phenomenal story about Kobe
This was a amazing interview with a deep message. One of my favorites for sure. Thank you
I cannot express how much this interview will resonate throughout my life thanks a lot for this content
One of the more warm blooded episodes of the show... I LOVE it!
Nailed it in the summary in the last few minutes thank you Tom bilyeu you're are really helping people who are stuck
Fantastic interview! Pure class from you Tom and Jay! My humble thanks!
Awe struck!!!!...thats all I can say about this interview
This episode was so powerful!! Yoh thank you to both Jay and Tom!!
Amazing story!
Tom you gotta get Inky Johnson on here. Like it’s a must
I live this show. Listening to these stories while drawing in roam with coacroaches and chasing mys dreams.
Woukdn't exchange it for imdb top 100 movie list.
Jay is a such nice person + kickass story behind. ( & that story with Coby.... )
Waiting for more !
So glad the show is adding value! Stay on that grind!
what he speaks about the comeback which is also the mental comeback resonates with me wao
Thank you! ✊🏾 Appreciate this. This should be titled | Jay Williams - " Conversations with my Mind " ; it was that powerful.
Tom, I am a Theist (of the historic Christian variety), but I find that I agree with you in regards to the "everything happens for a reason" bromide. In Christianity specifically, I hear this idea pretty often. "God allowed this for such-and-such a purpose", "God won't give you something you can't handle", etc. Besides my theological reasons for not agreeing with this idea, I find that it's just not practical or helpful. I don't see any way in which rape can be meaningfully said to have a purpose. The same with molestation, murder, eating disorders, PTSD, and the list goes on. These extreme negatives can be leveraged to catalyze extreme positives, so much so that we're tempted to say that they "happened for a reason", but this doesn't justify those events or circumstances or actions that deform our humanity: body, mind, or spirit.
We may have differing spiritual world-views, but we agree here.
I find so much value in your content, Tom. I'm genuinely thankful for you!
Good lord. You are VERY good at articulating your point. Always a joy to hear from people that can agree and disagree with equal clarity, respect, and grace. Thanks for taking the time to write in. You are definitely preaching to the choir on this one. And you certainly said it far better than I did. I hope a lot of people read your comment.
Thank you for the kind words, brother. I won't spam every video with comments, but I thrive on respectful dialogue and it seems that you've fostered a community that does just that. I look forward to more interaction with you and the....Bilyeuians? Bilyites?...the Tom Bilyeu followers. :P
Your comment on the issue was so brief in this interview, I just happened to pick up on it and wanted to voice my agreement. I'm sure that, if you had the time, you could have put it just as (if not more) articulately!
Point well taken. If I had thought of that scenario, it probably would have been categorized (in my mind, at least) under "punitive action". I was thinking more in terms of random acts of evil. But even then, and to contradict myself, I would listen to the parents as well.
And you're welcome! I had forgotten that it had anything to do with chemistry, so thanks for the reminder.
Two words: free will
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
