Number 1: The Point of No Return: Connor Leahy on Stopping AI Before It's Too Late
What's up, everybody? Today, I am bringing you an absolutely critical episode with Connor Leahy, a leading voice in the world of artificial intelligence safety and the CEO of ControlAI. Connor is a computer scientist who has spent years at the forefront of AI research, grappling with the real and present risks facing humanity as this technology rapidly evolves. He has a bold and, frankly, chilling perspective: pursuing superintelligence could endanger us all. In this episode, Connor breaks down why AI isn't just another tool—it's something fundamentally different, and possibly the biggest adversary we've ever created. We dig into the game theory behind international AI development, why current regulations are falling short, and what would actually have to happen for us to avoid catastrophic risks. If you've ever wondered how close we are to a true point of no return, or what it would actually take to keep the future of humanity in our own hands, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss. I hope you learn as much from this convo as I did—Connor will challenge the way you think about progress, technology, and what it means to be wise in a world racing toward the unknown. If you get value from this, I’d be so grateful if you leave us a review. That’s how we spread the word and help more people unlock their true potential. I'm Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.

Number 2: What Broke The Bond Market — And Why They're Going To Print Your Savings Away
What's up, guys? Today I am bringing you an absolute must-listen conversation with Felix Prehn. Felix is a renowned investor and financial educator, and the founder of Felix & Friends and The GOAT Academy on YouTube—a guy who is obsessed with teaching people how money actually works. Felix has built a global following by breaking down the mechanics behind money printing, debt, inflation, and the moves happening right now in the bond market that are going to impact every dollar you’ve ever made or saved. I wanted to talk to Felix because, to be straight with you, we are living through a radical shift in the economy, and most people have no idea how deeply it affects their future. Felix cuts through the noise and tells it like it is—who is going to get crushed by inflation, why hard assets are your defense, and how to spot the difference between growing your wealth and just getting decimated by printed money. In this episode, you're going to walk away knowing exactly why the US and Japan are on a collision course with reality, what happens when governments play games with their own debt, and most importantly, what you can do right now to protect and build real financial security for you and your family. If you care about your financial future—and you should—this episode is mission critical. If you get value out of this, drop us a review—it's the best way you can help us reach more people who are hungry to reach their greatest potential. I’m Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.

Welcome to a pivotal episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show Live, recorded on September 11th—a day etched into American memory. In this episode, Tom tackles some of the most pressing and complex issues facing the nation and the world: from the escalating dangers in the Middle East and the precarious state of the global economy, to the relentless march of artificial intelligence and its ever-growing impact.

He digs deep into the current crises in the Middle East, the vulnerabilities in global supply chains, and draws crucial lessons from both past and present—especially the enduring significance of 9/11.
