What an alive, passionate, human being. He really mastered the art of being a grown-up child.
Sooooo much love to you and the entire impact theory family!!!! I had a blast :)
Preston Smiles One Love!
Preston Smiles yeeeehaaawwww
Dope interview bro! :)
Preston Smiles hey Preston, if you don't mind me asking, what books do you read?
thank you for this amzing interview, much respect from Morocco
All way From Tanzania 🇹🇿...! We appreciate him and his wife so much.His Inspiration is to live for 🙏🏾
I'm crying on the bus. This was so beautiful and just a great reminder. I'm slowly discovering my why and Preston Smiles just gets it...if that makes sense. Love love love the interviews
The mentality, optimism, and spirit of Preston is awe inspiring. This conversation was beautiful
Preston "I slow down to the speed of Wisdom” .... Love this!!! Thank you Tom and Preston for a beautiful conversation!!
Goosebumps!!! Listening to him gave me a spiritual experience; I sooooooooo needed to hear this today! Loved this!
I love Preston’s notion on the universe is like google answering questions we ask ourselves, ask the right questions also guide your mindset towards being an awesome meaning making machine. Thank you for this interview Tom.
"Everything is neutral"
It's true. When my daughter died I was... devastated. But, I (eventually) chose to use that tragedy as a catapult to writing a book to my son. We're all temporary, and we could all be taken at any moment. So, I put as much wisdom into a book as I could so, if I should die before I can pass on that wisdom to my son, at the very least he'll have a paper copy.
I also like (not in this video) Tom's point on allowing yourself to be miserable for a set period of time. I tried the posture, the comedies, the joyous activity and everything else I could think of... but it still took a really, really long time to embrace joy again.

I started Bikram Yoga five days ago, a. D I had a huge emotional release on the mat yesterday when I was able to complete one of the harder poses for the first time. Today I feel a bit deflated, BUT my left side stretches as it hasn't in years!!!
I just had not realized how very much guilt and pain I was holding onto.
I say all of this because I hope you are able to find emotional release. It makes a world of difference ❤️💙💜💚💛
I watch an Impact Theory interview at least twice a week. This was the most impactful video I’ve ever seen in my life! Thank you so very much for having Preston on. It felt like he was talking to me!
This was amazing! I resonate and follow a lot of Prestons work and put many of it to practice. I like when he spoke about his trips to Africa and giving back. Seeing people in detriment conditions. I experienced this through a different lens. Through bikepacking. I rode into neighborhoods and villages in Colombia where people were very poor. I saw a house fall off a mountain as the land soften before my eyes. Just when I thought I had it bad. I don't. They didn't have anything but everything and getting their needs met from what they have. It was all perspective for me and experiencing these moments before my eyes forced me to uniquely see things differently. So much love for having Preston on the show.
Wow this guy had one of the best messages I’ve ever heard. Thank you for bringing him on the show
this show is everything. Swear down, I've been here for 4 hours. no lies. cleaning my room and just listening.
Play, smile, fall in love with the process - passion!!!
So true, so true, simple as that 👍👍👍
Fascinating guy with an amazing and unique outlook. Everything is neutral until you add your story to it... Love it. Very Zen. Thanks Tom and Preston for another superb weekly dose of Impact Theory
This is a hidden gem for me. Not sure why there are such few souls seeing this!
Chase Gielda had to come back and re watch it man din't understand what he was saying at first now I do
I agree!
i'll state the obvious: because he's young and black. prove me wrong
He’s 37
37 is young. you must be a kid
Really love that you bring on all different styles of thinking! They broaden my thinking and give me different perspectives to reflect on.
Love, love, love!! And I relate to the minimalism, as I got rid of 75% of my shit including my car and I appreciate his work in Africa! That is a dream of mine I’m working towards as I type! Great interview 💜💜💜
Thank you Tom! Whenever I watch Impact Theory I leave with the feeling of "wow I really needed to hear that today!" Keep up the great work!
This is SUCH a beautiful man! Inside and out. I didn't want the interview to end. He's a wonderful storyteller.
Wow wow wow, so many valuable insights. Really blew me away and made me see things from a different perspective. Love the vibe and the energy Preston and thank you Tom for what you bring to the people. These videos are life changing....can't thank you enough!!!!!!
I love Impact Theory and devour all of your content all of the time. When I saw this guest I realised that I have pictures of him and his wife on my phone in a folder called Inspiration - Quality Lover just because they look genuinely in love and happy and I love that. I didn't realise they are also awesome in their own right
Bailey Ana
Well said.
And your Quality Lover inspiration folder is well named, imho :-)
Love, love, love this ❤️.
My biggest takeaway is accepting where I am. Be still and enjoy the universe to flow through Me and as me 🙏❤️
Preston Smiles... he just lights up the world. His heart, passion and wisdom is so real and so relatable. Such a beautiful inspirational soul... One of the things that makes him so different is that ‘he really wants if for everyone’... He’s unapologetically authentic and present... so liberating for others to witness.
Keep shining Preston ❤️
12:00 it's like he is talking to me. I always thought once I get something, then I will become something, then I end up with nothing, then I watch people who really are living their lives, thinking why I can't live like that
This show is my medicine every morning. Thank you Tom.
Just found this in my feed and I so lovvvvv this man. His words are perfect. What an asset he must be to people around him.
This one though... goosebumps and everything. Thank you so much IT team. 💕
love you Dora
"We are all in the unfolding..." LOVE IT!
Mann. This man was sent to us to save us from al the BS of the external world and remind us how beautiful it is to be alive
Tom, I love you ! Thank you for the incredible diversity of inspired creatives you feature in your videos . You are, yourself, an amazing success story and a modern visionary - so heart-warming! So energizing to watch your guests interacting with you.
I hope you do this forever !
Thank you! That's so kind! Really glad you like the show!
Another awesome interview. Some wonderful messages of Love and Neutrality were the biggest takeaways for me. I can certainly identify with the "story" telling that accompanies 'events' the cancer example is beautiful. My family has overcome some challenges by first understanding that there's "narrative" in play and it's our own choice what we allow that narrative to be. So powerful. Re-framing the story is the first step to redemption (from ANYTHING)
It's a rainy day in September 2017. I am holding a speech to my university telling them about my Greatest INSECURITY, which is that I was introverted and didn't dare to hang out with friends. I have never to this day slept in a friend's house. Thanks to telling everybody the thing I fear them to know, I gain this super confidence making me Make Out with the most Good-Looking Girl at the party (getting her, to force me, to give her, my Facebook. And No. She didn't see me perform the speech). Everything WITHOUT ANY ALCOHOL.
Now I have nothing to fear and everything to gain. Thanks Preston!
Wow I've done alot of self.development lately but this has opened my eyes in a whole another way and I've taken alot from this. Thank you guys
what a show man!! I love your interviews... Everytime I think “wow thats the best, that really hit me, it can’t get better than that” and then everytime I get surprised by a better one... this is my favorite so far. what an energy this man has, would love to meet him one day!! Thank you Tom for your amazing show!! best regards from switzerland 😊
TOM B. YOU ARE LEGENDARY! THANK YOU FOR THE BEING YOU ARE, AND OF WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE THIS LIFETIME... AND THE PRESTON SMILES BEING HE IS... MUCH GRATITUDE AND THANKS FOR THE LOVE AND RESPECT YOU BRING TO ANY SPACE YOU ARE IN... TOO... KEEP TAKING CARE
"confort zone is where dreams go to die" uhh
Watching this was a true pleasure. It was fun seeing this perspective. Much love!
You should get Preston and Alexi on Relationship Theory with Tom and Lisa. EPIC COLLAB!!

The way Preston talked about becoming gave me goosebumps
Thank you Tom and the team at impact theory you are the gate way to so many people I would have never even known existed. This is my all time favorite show on the internet.

Wow this talk transformed my life the best I hv ever had before wow now I know my purpose
I remember watching this guy & Kevin ( Cali dudes)@ LSU in the Quad skateboarding 🛹 knowing I’d see him doing great things ...speaking to one another on the passbye from time to time... wanting to be an actor too.... admiring how “ free” he was /is.... #greatguy#prestonsmiles
@PrestonSmiles ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾
Tall Poppy Syndrome is a new term to me, but I can definitely attest to the fact that it is alive and thriving in America...
Loved the interview and am thrilled to have discovered Impact Theory! Deep appreciation...always...
Thank you for the reminder Preston. I will press on with a smile and enjoy being in the state of all needs met.
Beautiful souls are everywhere
Ah--such beautiful articulation of my personal philosophy!!! Much Love and Appreciation!!!
Great interview! Thank you Tom for Impact Theory. You have changed my life. You are a blessing!
I absolutely love every single episode of this show :P
thank you for this interview! I've been following Preston's content for a long time and really like his outlook on life! I like his attitude, he is so positive but yet compasionate
Masha I love youuuuuuu
Thank you for the WISDOM Preston and Tom!
1000% love you
Slow down to the speed of wisdom! Love and Light! ❤🌄☮️☯️
Was just working on my own content, but I can't miss out on this. Guess work has to wait.
Preston is incredible, I love his content and yours obviously! Thanks for uploading this free knowledge!
much love PP!!
I read Tom's shirt.. I listen to (& hear) Preston.. What comes to Heart (as a result):
"Don't seek happiness.
Instead, seek *True Fulfilment* ."
PS... I think Tony Robbins (or someone else) may have said that (or something similar) before.
love this channel, I'm just so fascinated by the people who are interviewed here and learning so much :) love you Tom.
So crazy after watching this interview I ran into him at work! Such a cool dude
This is such an epic video, I can not tell how many times I have replayed this
Inner drive makes people go all in and inevitably be successful. I've thought for so long that the "dark side" was the only way to get there. Good to see a different and more uplifting mindset that not only equally leads to inner drive and its consequential success, but also to unconditional joyful living. Now that's a mindset worth building.
Oh my goodness!!! I'm so happy to hear someone outside of Australia noticed the tall poppy syndrome! That's the number one reason I've always loved American culture above my own!!!
It was amazing. "I wanna remind people of love and love IS all there is" BIG IMPACT
This is so powerful, thanks for sharing Tom
One of my favorites so far!!!!! So glad to be introduced to this fine gentleman. Dude rocks🎶🎵🌞
Love him!! I love his playfulness.. I'm just like that too but sometimes I feel like I'm being too childish. But I know deep down I am just enjoying life... every part of it. I can relate to him so much. You have to interview him again sometime :) He's awesome.The way he explains things are very easy to understand.. just such a bright person. It's contagious!
Your episodes are the game changing for my life.😎thanku so much
Enlightened human. Love this dude.
Schedule play time. Done. Great video!! ❤
Thank you Mr Tom Bilyeu and everyone from impact theory.
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EPISODE!!
Preston has great energy and a heart to serve. I dig the passion! Right on.
Unbelievably good. Thank you.
Preston Smiles, I truly love you buddy. I feel very connected to what you have said here. I can relate it to my own life and its a true blessing for me to have listened to this video and it makes so so much sense knowing that there is also someone else who knows and explains What Life is in such a very simple way. Thankyou, thankyou so much. Love. Zeenath
Great interview. I really enjoyed it. I will use this to enjoy my journey. Thank you.
was waiting for this one!! following him since he was on school of greatness :) :)
Preston is really inspiring 🙏
this ....deserves a billion views at least !
Nothing but respect for Preston Smiles ❤
I am sending so much love and blessings to you Preston and to Alexi and your gorgeous boy KINGston 🙏🏼👑💗 you just fill my heart when I watch your videos!! Thank you
Tom, your show is great and an amazing source of very valuable knowledge, I've been watching many interviews and I'm committed to watching all of them. Would you be able to interview Ralph Smart from Infinite Waters? I truly believe it would end up in a very interesting conversation ;)
Agreed!
That would be amazing
Oh yes! Please do!!
“Diiviing Deep!” 🙏🏾
hmmmmmmm..... slomotion this side
OMG Tom... I loved this episode with Preston. I am from & live in Australia and I heard Preston mention 'THE TALL POPPY SYNDROME' - yes it sure does happen down here. People love to cut you down over here! But it's not everywhere... it's the thing where it depends on who you are mixing with though (your inner circle).... A bit of positive history about the convicts from the late 1770's and 1800's... Even though originally Australia was first used as where England sent the convicts... boy oh boy did England get that move wrong! I bet the convicts thought they won the lottery... we have beautiful weather, beautiful blue skies, beautiful blue oceans, beautiful beaches - it is truly an amazing country and I feel very privileged to live in such a beautiful country. And thank you Preston for your awesome insights.... Tiff :)
Most underrated video from impact theory
Thank you kindly for these interviews! I love the people I find thanks to your channel!
I really love this person and what they are doing. I really love this show and what it is doing.
'Learn to be self-sufficient' is a dynamic sentence with two meanings. Learn to be self-sufficient (a process of taking care of yourself) and learn (educating one's self) to be self-sufficient. Powerful-both happen at the same time.
Wooow! I have absolutely loved ur impact theory and relationship theory...revealing the real life stories and overcoming as a better human being! I love this.,,
love it " if your cup is not full you can't give"
Amaaaazing! Thank you Tom and team for this interview.
revealing is an ongoing process... most definitely true
Positivity and negativity, pessimism and optimism, the dark and the light - the separation that constitutes the institution of the motivational industry is possibly an unsolvable dichotomy. The fact that so many are looking for the "secret sauce" is evidence for its non-existence. It's the mystery of human subjectivity. My solution to the conundrum is that no human experience is alike. You have to find your own way, tell yourself your own story and make the best of your situation.
Roger Syversen spot on
and we can all find inspiration in each others experiences
This was lovely!!! Scary, but lovely!!!
Wise guy!!! Powerful couple!!! I also want to travel the world & Inspire people!!!
you are so candid........ I can feel the emotion!!!!!! Great interview
Beautiful soul
"In filth, it will be found". - Carl Jung
