Listen Later

In this no-holds-barred episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu and his co-host Drew tackle a whirlwind of current events reshaping economics, politics, and culture. Kicking off with headlines like Elon Musk stepping down from Doge and the shocking viral spat between French President Macron and his wife, the duo wastes no time diving deep. Tom and Drew connect these disparate stories, skillfully tracing the throughline back to the undercurrents of the global financial system and the often unseen hand of central banking.


From government spending and politics-as-power, to the intricacies of private, corporate, and personal debt, Tom breaks down complex ideas with relatable metaphors—making the abstract tangible. Whether you’re seeking a crash course in monetary policy, interested in the psychological chess match of global power, or just love hearing top thinkers untangle the news, this first half of the episode sets the stage with energy and insight.
