## Resource

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and Drew dive deep into the wild landscape of current events, from the volatile swings in oil prices and energy crises to the behind-the-scenes machinations shaping global politics and markets. They tackle the real-world impact of economic shocks on everyday Americans, debate whether we’re witnessing tactical negotiation or political theater in the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, and break down complex topics like bond yields, AI breakthroughs, and the rise of GLP1 drugs. You'll hear candid, sometimes skeptical takes on how world leaders are spinning narratives to sway both markets and minds, the strategic consequences of technological innovation, and how shifting economic realities are directly affecting businesses and jobs. The conversation goes philosophical, exploring the interplay between optimism, determinism, and the ever-present challenge of enacting real change—whether in your mindset, your business, or the world at large. Stay tuned as Tom Bilyeu and Drew blend big-picture analysis with actionable, real-world insights—cutting through the noise to get to the real impact beneath the headlines. 00:00 Intro 02:01 Gas Prices Surge, Energy Crisis Coming? 10:34 End of Operation Epic Fury 22:21 Bond Yield Spikes / Fed's Response 33:11 Affordability Crisis Messaging For Politicans 01:01:20 Coinbase Layoff 14% 01:07:00 MIT Give AI a HUMAN Body 01:10:20 A prompt of a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot 01:12:44 New AI Company SubQ Making Waves 01:21:22 South Korea's First Robot Monk 01:23:42 13% of Americans Take GLP-1 01:27:44 $1 Billion Ballroom 01:31:11 Chinese EV 01:35:59 Crowd funding Spirit Airlines 01:40:50 HP's New Printing Subscription Plan Blinkist: Start your free trial at https:…
