Do you believe you can change? How much do you really believe it? And what if someone asked you how to do it?

As it turns out, science has a lot to say about it, and few people can say it with more authority than Dr. Michael Merzenich.

Dr. Merzenich's work as a neuroscientist over the past 50 years changed the way we view the brain. His efforts disproved mainstream science's belief that the brain became hardwired at a young age. Armed with this knowledge, he sought to practically apply it to help people.  Through several enterprises, his tools have benefited countless people around the globe, helping them regain their hearing, recover from brain trauma, and reverse the effects of mental illness and dementia.

If you've ever wanted to understand the biology behind behavior change...or if you've ever felt like you couldn't change...

In this episode, Tom Bilyeu shares his now legendary story of how he went from scrounging in his couch cushions for enough change to put gas in his car to the founder of a company that became worth more than a billion dollars in less than six years. That same company, Quest Nutrition, was ranked as the second-fastest growing company in North America in 2014.

While creating amazingly-delicious products with the goal of ending metabolic disease, Tom began to invest in a new passion - to do what he called "helping people escape from the matrix." He launched a show called Inside Quest. The success of the show and his ever-expanding vision, led him to leave the company at the end of 2016 to start Impact Theory.

In less than two years, Tom amassed a social media following of over 2M (of which I can say, I was one of the first) with some of his videos being viewed tens of millions of times.
