Before I heard of Impact Theory, I read Jesse Itzler's book, "Living with a Seal," which lead me to discover David Goggins, which lead me to see the Goggins interview with Tom, which lead me to discover Impact Theory, which lead me to watching this interview right now. Full circle. I have been hugely impacted by all of this content. THANK YOU!
My 40's have been so freshly liberating, much like my teen years, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I love living fully alive, knowing death comes to us all.
I have a kind of contempt for people who don't know that plurals are not apostrophed. They seem kinda arrogant and presumptuous and stupid. I guess I'll have to work on that perception
Watched this video in the car driving to apply for the job. Saw the founder at the parking. Asked him for five minutes talk. Got the job! Thanks Impact Theory @tom..
I didn’t know my life was gonna change before watching even half this video. I wasn’t even gonna watch this video, thank god I did. A lot of videos juice me up, they make you feel excited, this one changed my life, this one has moved me. Now I have the very real image in my mind that I have 8 summers left before I’m 40. Before today, it was whatever happens happens,. After today, I’m gonna do what I want, then I’ll adapt to what happens after. Thank you for this, because tomorrow will no longer be the same.
I have watched all your interviews and your motivational videos. I started watching this one with a negative outlook. Yet it might end up being the one with the most impact. I turned 56 on May 6th and for the first time, I started thinking about my time left. Not depressive, but reality. Jess put things in perspective for me. Thanks Tom
John, I think for all of us in our 50's (I'm currently 51), this episode hit home. I've watched this again and again. I keep that term "enhancing my life resume" in my head daily. I'm cognizant daily that my time is limited to do what I need to in order to still have the capacity to enjoy life and make an impact. Awesome interview!
I am 55 and my current position in life (financially shall we say) is..... well, honestly, there isn't a word to describe it. In one sense, it has energised me not to waste a second longer, but in another sense, who am I compared to this clever dude who started young with some much balls and knowledge, wisdom etc etc etc....... I was always ambitious in my early years, now I feel like I do not have a second to waste. I seriously want to be wealthy, I want that on my Life Resume, not for any other reason, than for it to be like a Grade I achieved at College, University, etc. With Distinction.
Impact Theory and people wonder why mere little presents 😕 just countless little reasons I noticed of people and I will always be thankful of access no matter what went wrong no one owes me nothing just kind trust
He ran like 100 miles in a day and challenges himself therefore becoming a billionaire was no longer a challenge to him, so powerful. Grateful to know people like this
This guy has the key to creating leads. Write letters, buy the market up so you are the main source, go to places you know your audience is at, never say no to yourself because you can make things possible with ambition. Embarrassment is something that happens, but it shouldn't stop you.
Tom thank you for your efforts. You're so incredibly thorough, the depth of research you go into before hand, the quality of questioning, even the layout of the description. I can only thank you.
Incredible talk. Being 23 it is amazing to hear the discussion on urgency and time eventually running out. Thank you so much for making and uploading this.
I've found many parts of the interview very interesting, but the one I felt very connected with is when he got to the monastery and he tried to meditate the first hour. A few days ago I was working on a leather bag I was making when suddenly I realized that success for me was not the money or any other material things, but how I am when I'm by myself. If I can just sit and experience the greatness of life doing "no-thing", then I consider in my own view that I'm super successful. Sorry if it doesn't make a lot of sence, I just wanted to share the way I'm experiencing it. Thanks again Tom and team for your amazing work
I know now this is something we realize at some point in our lives depending on our own individual development when I was your age I knew this intuitively, but I guess I let my ego take control without me knowing. Now I'm 41and still learning about life and my own self. Life plays a very funny game with us and I can tell you in my experience is all about a combination of action and patience
It's working out very well, thanks for asking. Is the foundation of my wellbeing. If can be and feel wonderful just by myself then everything else is just extra, cheers
"I'll take all your muffins." BRILLIANT. This guy's critical thinking skills are bonkers. I'm teaching the muffin parable to my kid when I get home tonight.
The bit where he breaks down the idea of seeing your parents a few times a year, now imagine you will see them only 16 more times, really really affected me. Not directly in reference to my own parents as they are long gone and I've mourned the loss, but as a way to think about my time left with the people who are alive now. I'm not old but will be someday, God willing and I felt like I've not used the time I've been given so far, wisely, and so many things I still want to do and see. Shit this video gave me a lump in my throat I can't swallow. It's what I needed to hear. Thank you for this content.
Man, I think Jesse Itzler got reborned when he hit 50 years old. Different than the interviews I've seen him but he definitely grew wiser. Great interview as always Tom!
The beauty of this message is that it rekindles your thoughts about life, time and how precious they both are. Thank you Jesse for sharing. After a recent, unexpected family passing LIFE has been a very difficult subject... pondering one's soul of why we choose to be away from the ones we love to follow our dreams or stubbornness... without the guarantee that we or our loved ones will even make it through the night. This truly rekindled a spark to create a bigger sense of urgency and more memorable moments in what time we pray we have left... and for that I am very grateful. I don't claim any labels/religions... but right now I'm reading multiple books, the Life of a Yogi, a few others and the Bible... and the scripture John 5:24 allows a little more pondering on this topic if one may be interested.
the part about the german shepherd's hyper-focus was so inspiring. obviously i was quiet because i was watching this, but that part made me put my head down as i got meditative quiet. as an adhd-er that hit me hard and encouraged me to stop being so hard on myself, and to instead remember the point i'm trying to get to. distractions are supposed to distract, but i have the option to keep moving towards what i want with the right kind of training. great interview.
Tom, you're style of interviewing you're gusts is incredible. Thank you so much for you're for you're efforts, I'm so grateful that's I found out about you ✌😁😊
Jesse Itzler: The achievements you've made in the past 25 years are unparalleled, exceptional & motivating like nothing else. Beside the financial success & the athletic lifestyle success... you've started impacting literally millions of lives by sharing your experiences... just introducing David Goggins to the world to learn from was a lifetime achievement, your book "living with a seal" was a lifetime achievement... and you have hundreds of other achievements that successful people can't get in their lifetime PLEASE: Don't make your previous success and achievements to be the reason for you fear in your next 25 years... hope you can do so many 25 years in good health, happiness and success!
"The passion is around the process as well as the product and what you're doing. People often neglect the process, but you can't shortcut it and if that's what you've signed up for you have to respect it." That was the biggest takeaway for me!
This goes to show here it is over a year older and this is so impactful and soooo well needed thank you impact theory for continuing to make us be a better wiser human race!!!!
One of the most profound interviews I've consumed. Thank you Tom for what you're creating for us and thank you Jesse for sharing your experience and perspective. GRATEFUL for you both!
Tom Bilyeu, your guests are amazing but what you bring out of them with your questioning is everything. Loving what your doing and I'm excited to see who your going to introduce me to next!
I love how this show asks these hugely successful guys "what is the impact you want to have on the world" and often it seems to stop them for a short pause maybe with guilt and realization.. they recognize their accomplishments have been their life not the strengthening of humanity itself. I guess the main point of the show is how to improve ones self but to ask these incredible men this question is so important. It is truly amazing what can be accomplished in one life time. I look forward to watching more of "impact theory", would love to see more interviews with people who have cultured positive changes in themselves and improved society for all. Thanks so much for this show and asking that question.When one rises up we all rise up.
Jesse Itzler is the realest. I can see how he has gotten so far. He really appreciates people and means it. Learned so much from this interview. Thankyou.
Tom!!!! Brother, do you do just regular talks? Every episode I have caught has been excellent. You set a high bar my friend. Thank you for your constant contribution to making us all more conscious of what is possible, the excellence that sometimes lies dormant within us.
Tom, I just subscribed after lurking on several of your videos for a while now. I have to say that you are one of the BEST interviewers I have ever encountered. I love that you ask questions that I never even thought (which is rare) of and find myself extremely interested in the answers from many people that I never even knew about. It's very inspirational stuff and new veins of information. Thank you! I may not have the people successful people that I need in my circle, but your channel makes it as close to possible as that can be right now.
Tom, I love the way you interview. Always knowledgable on your guests, you ACTUALLY listen, and you give a shit. Love everything you're doing and keep up the great work.
Stand out interview and guest., Tom. Haven’t checked in for a while but great as ever. As a 52 year old, the “28 Summers” point was a powerful takeaway. Keep up the great work 😀👍
Powerful powerful POWERFUL! The last segment about remaining summers and time with parents was especially gripping. Time is SO damn valuable...thanks for this!
Great Interview And Take Aways As I'm 50 Years Old, Grateful For All I Have And My Family, But Still Pursuing The Journey To Make A Positive Impact! I Want To Compress Time In Certain Ways And Slow It Down In Other Ways For People, Escape The Matrix And Compose A Better Way Forward! Thanks, Tom 🎸😎🍷✌️🌴🙏
I stopped at 18:44 to write a thank you note to Tom. Thank you for introducing to me an amazing person. If not for you I would never know who he is and his amazing life philosophy. He seems authentic, cheerful, smart, and really wise. I learned a lot from his wisdom.
He cracks me up, love his personality 100% key to life stay creative & curious! Never stop connecting or learning, grow as a person as much as you can!
Tom. ...Finding your channel has had a profoundly positive impact in an abundace of aspects of my life. Your collective selection of guests is phenomenal.
Wow - a genuine guy and legit inspiration. I can relate to his monastery experience and trying to clear away the distractions. Thanks, Tom. One of your best interviews.
Dude.. That's fuckin' HUGE! As men, we don't know what we're feeling. 2017 was a huge year for me in learning about relationships. One of the biggest things I learned was women experience life through the emotion attached to the fact, And men experience life through JUST the fact(s).
I hesitated to watch this video. But im so damn glad i did. I would love for Jesse to be my mentor. He has everything i want. Mentally, spiritually and physically. So mamy leasons to be learned from him. Its amazing.
Its pretty amazing all the guests you continue to bring onto the show, and the varied fields they operate in. Its helping me develop further the abundance mindset. Like Bedros said last week, there is a problem out there only you can solve, there is plenty of success potential to find in the world. One just has to be willing to put in the work and grow through the screw ups. Another great interview, thanks!
you can't fall in space but yes there is now stars between the moon and earth i guess you should ame to be limitless when you believe and become limitless in mind and spirit you will be truly happy
@first name, but you look at these interviews right? Im only 5 min in and seeing that one thing leads to the next..Even tho his steps seem just like out of a movie but we all are on some kind of track towards the future... I checked your channel and you got some nice music there, and some brainstuff which is to much for me... Just as your comment gets result, small steps do also... I think shooting for the stars is ´shooting higher than average´ so even when you fall back to earth your journy was way better than the others that said ´lemme try this´.... I barely shoot at all but do try to take little steps... I hope you are fine and keep on going, and believing your path will make sence in the future... cause it will
Awesome interview! Really loved hearing Jesse's excitement and passion for life. Also fun hearing his stories. Thank you for taking the time to do this and publish this Tom!
Listened to the Book on Audible...absolutely worth the listen. Nice to hear him speak about some of this in person. Also, if you haven’t read/listened to his other Book, ‘Living with SEAL’, I HIGHLY recommend it. 💥👊🏻💥
Finally!! I had to insert ‘Living with a Seal’ into your reading list,after watching Goggins! All the books you recommend have been super impactful! Thank you and keep it up!
Feels good to know that everything Jesse said is in tune with my mindset and way of life. He not only spoke about it, but showed the world as he changed the perception of reality for many people. Thank you for the interview Tom! Thanks for the experience Jesse!
The part about visiting your parents is particularly impactful. That's why I make time with my parents frequently enough that I don't regret not spending time when I had it.
Dillon, I wish everyone had your mindset. That's exactly what saved me when my Mom recently passed. I can't even imagine if I was on my phone or not focused on talking with her on my last visit. Please continue what you're doing. It will serve you well when that fateful day finally arrives.
I just turn 50 myself. I celebrated it in a wonderful trip to Iceland, it was a very special trip for many reasons. I noticed the same feeling Jesse has since he turned 50, but I couldn't pin point what was exactly the reason of the new passion and excitement about life. Grateful and blessed.
all this inspiring content, Tom - thank you for making this so accessible to us for free. I've binge watched so much of your videos now and regard them as a daily resource to keep me motivated. They encourage me to grow more rapidly as a person.
Tom, this is the BEST thing I’ve ever listened to!! The questions you asked and Jesse’s take on life is incredible!! As an entrepreneur out to help as many people, animals, and as much nature as possible, I am truly inspired! THANK YOU BOTH!! ❤❤❤
Thanks Tom, for bringing for us a great interview. Jessie perspective of seeing the other side of timing (remaining) for doing Worthful things in life is very impactful on me.
Tom Bilyeu - You are a MASTER at interviewing! I don't know how you do it, but I absolutely love it. Jesse Itzler - I am so impressed with you and your thought process!
Love the content and the people you bring on the show. The idea of time as Jesse explained resonated with me and I always keep myself aware of my mortality and the mortality of my loved ones. Thank you.
great episode, his achievements are raw inspiration-and at the same time he seems soooo ingredibly natural and human! also I want to give some positive feedback concerning the raw impact videos! love watching full episodes - like this one! but to rewatch the keymessage of an episode someday later, these "summaries" are so so suitable! thanks for everything you and your team do and greets from germany
The monastery experience can be tried in a minimized way by spending a shift at the library when you need to produce results. Always better than staying home...
Just had to stop at 18:55, not to bookmark something said, but to say that this is easily one of the best and most genuine interviews between 2 people I've ever seen or heard. I dont know if it's cause Itzler is just my fav kind of person. (eccentric). Or what. This is first I think I've heard of him but I'm sold. 🙏🏾
Jesse always makes me speechless He can live the absolute most luxurious life in this life, however he lives his life as a roll model, motivator, inspiration to below average human beings like me. Knowing that Jesse is at least 200 times richer than the richest person I’ve ever me, however, I feel like he’s a friend that I know in person for years with his strange modesty and being that down to earth.... this beautiful human being is forcing me to stay out of my comfort zone (for my own good) and I wish if I can thank him.
This is still one of my most watched episodes of Impact Theory. What a legend Jesse is! If I ever need it, I get reminded that there is ALWAYS a way. Always. And, that time should be spent deliberately. Thanks again for this fantastic episode, I hope there will be more with Jesse in the future 🤩 (*This is also often the first episode I show to people when introducing them to IT. And it works)
This guy is absolutely amazing and so inspiring! Love this interview, one of the best I have seen! Thank you so much Tom & Team, your doing such a great job!
Jesse ............... Your muffin story is insane !! Love that determination to do something to make it work !! Tells me a lot about how much can i do further for my goals in mind !! THANK YOU.... as always....... Thank you TOM ......... you're the man..... !
Wonderful interview and guest. Being so grounded and realistic and full of common sense, what a powerful tonic for these narcissistic and delusional times emanates Mr. Itzler. He sounds and looks and FEELS authentic and honest. Thank you for bringing this to the public Mr. Bilyeu.
I truly believe that we can do whatever we put our minds to do. Nothing is impossible to those who believe and have the faith that the whole universe will surrender your dreams to you, never give up and just keep shooting for the moon, even if you miss you will land amongst the stars.
This was one of your best Tom. I like the emotional restraint you maintained throughout the interview. It allowed Jesse to be more of the focus. IT is an incredible boost mate. Thank you.
Most impactful episode of Impact Theory I have seen so far. Loved Jesse's explanation of how we should view time, that we should get experiences as far reaching as possible, even though there is a lot of risk involved and there will be naysayers. Also got a great insight into how relationships, not just romantic relationships, should work- each person should build the other up and be their biggest cheerleader.
Amazing very good interview. I fast for 24 hours or longer water fasting every 1 of the month in 2023 .amazing experience truly life changing. all free highly recommend.
This is so important and people need to know that it is okay to aim high and not fear about how you look or not accomplish in the mean time. Thank you for recognizing that being fearless allows you to aim for new challenges and not hold you back in life to be able to live full out.
Beautiful episode as always! One take away for me was to keep moving forward regardless of obstacles. And the thing that most successful people do, is work on their mindset because that creates action and momentum.
I love that he got into the TED people by buying all the muffins. The one time that you leverage muffins heavier than gold or a flashy conference badge. Amazing.
