Love seeing Mathew Mcconaughey living his best life.

@Hugh Munn He made a joke. People do that. You know, make others laugh. You should try it
@Hugh Munn you write like you are in middle school.
Hahahhaha
😂😂
Watched this video in the car driving to apply for the job. Saw the founder at the parking. Asked him for five minutes talk. Got the job! Thanks Impact Theory @tom..
"How many more summers do you have?" I love his philosophy on life and not giving a hell what people think cause they wont be here in 100 years anyway
Before I heard of Impact Theory, I read Jesse Itzler's book, "Living with a Seal," which lead me to discover David Goggins, which lead me to see the Goggins interview with Tom, which lead me to discover Impact Theory, which lead me to watching this interview right now. Full circle. I have been hugely impacted by all of this content. THANK YOU!
I agree! Tom lead me to David Goggins and David changed my mindset in one video.
Yooooo, same. I didn't even realize that till you said it.
Same exact cycle for me. But before the book, it was the appearances of Goggins and Itzler on JRE that lead me to buy the book
Goggins got to me.
I had the EXACT same path
He ran like 100 miles in a day and challenges himself therefore becoming a billionaire was no longer a challenge to him, so powerful. Grateful to know people like this
My 40's have been so freshly liberating, much like my teen years, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I love living fully alive, knowing death comes to us all.
Gabrielle Angel Lilly hope you find you're way. And the way is a nice 1.
Great to read someone lose the fear. Im working on it and a bit embarrased to admit it. Not material things though.
I have a kind of contempt for people who don't know that plurals are not apostrophed. They seem kinda arrogant and presumptuous and stupid. I guess I'll have to work on that perception
You're 40?!
@@BenPulido , and has apparently never read a book. So sad. Still, talented in other ways
This guy has the key to creating leads. Write letters, buy the market up so you are the main source, go to places you know your audience is at, never say no to yourself because you can make things possible with ambition. Embarrassment is something that happens, but it shouldn't stop you.
"I'll take all your muffins." BRILLIANT. This guy's critical thinking skills are bonkers. I'm teaching the muffin parable to my kid when I get home tonight.
Maya M Well, he did get over 900 on his test......
$2 × 80 = $160. Wake up.....
The bit where he breaks down the idea of seeing your parents a few times a year, now imagine you will see them only 16 more times, really really affected me. Not directly in reference to my own parents as they are long gone and I've mourned the loss, but as a way to think about my time left with the people who are alive now. I'm not old but will be someday, God willing and I felt like I've not used the time I've been given so far, wisely, and so many things I still want to do and see. Shit this video gave me a lump in my throat I can't swallow. It's what I needed to hear. Thank you for this content.
This man is the epitome of what it means to *shoot your shot* (and win) !!
I really enjoyed this episode. Jesse's wisdom and Tom's fantastic ability to interview in such an impactful way are both very admirable
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
― Norman Vincent Peale
You will fall back on earth and in real life you will be depressed
you can't fall in space but yes there is now stars between the moon and earth i guess you should ame to be limitless when you believe and become limitless in mind and spirit you will be truly happy
@first name, but you look at these interviews right? Im only 5 min in and seeing that one thing leads to the next..Even tho his steps seem just like out of a movie but we all are on some kind of track towards the future... I checked your channel and you got some nice music there, and some brainstuff which is to much for me... Just as your comment gets result, small steps do also... I think shooting for the stars is ´shooting higher than average´ so even when you fall back to earth your journy was way better than the others that said ´lemme try this´.... I barely shoot at all but do try to take little steps... I hope you are fine and keep on going, and believing your path will make sence in the future... cause it will
That's actually a Les Brown quote that Peale used to end his speeches.
I never understood that, as there isn't a star to fall back on between the moon and earth.
I didn’t know my life was gonna change before watching even half this video. I wasn’t even gonna watch this video, thank god I did.
A lot of videos juice me up, they make you feel excited, this one changed my life, this one has moved me.
Now I have the very real image in my mind that I have 8 summers left before I’m 40.
Before today, it was whatever happens happens,. After today, I’m gonna do what I want, then I’ll adapt to what happens after.
Thank you for this, because tomorrow will no longer be the same.
So have you actually applied this to your life in these past 4 months?
good for you, simply reading that inspired me! hope you have been loving your life!
How are you holding up? Has your life changed during the past 9 motnhs?
Damn if you think of it that way i have 8 summers until im 50 but kind of a depressing way to think!
It's been a year, how are things in your life different looking back to the day you left this comment?
Tom - you are the best when it comes to introducing your guests!
Snow mass and always excellent questions too!
I love how he listens to his guests.
Impact Theory

"The passion is around the process as well as the product and what you're doing. People often neglect the process, but you can't shortcut it and if that's what you've signed up for you have to respect it." That was the biggest takeaway for me!
very true
Man, I think Jesse Itzler got reborned when he hit 50 years old. Different than the interviews I've seen him but he definitely grew wiser. Great interview as always Tom!
Love his idea of writing thank you letters. There are so many people I'd like to do that for. As ever, thank you, Tom & team!
Incredible talk. Being 23 it is amazing to hear the discussion on urgency and time eventually running out. Thank you so much for making and uploading this.
3 years later, how have things changed?
@@travisbickle0526 just continuing to work on projects!
His story verify my belief that the most important thing for success is surround yourself with the right people.
the part about the german shepherd's hyper-focus was so inspiring. obviously i was quiet because i was watching this, but that part made me put my head down as i got meditative quiet. as an adhd-er that hit me hard and encouraged me to stop being so hard on myself, and to instead remember the point i'm trying to get to. distractions are supposed to distract, but i have the option to keep moving towards what i want with the right kind of training.
great interview.
I have watched all your interviews and your motivational videos. I started watching this one with a negative outlook. Yet it might end up being the one with the most impact. I turned 56 on May 6th and for the first time, I started thinking about my time left. Not depressive, but reality. Jess put things in perspective for me. Thanks Tom
John, I think for all of us in our 50's (I'm currently 51), this episode hit home. I've watched this again and again. I keep that term "enhancing my life resume" in my head daily. I'm cognizant daily that my time is limited to do what I need to in order to still have the capacity to enjoy life and make an impact. Awesome interview!
I am 55 and my current position in life (financially shall we say) is..... well, honestly, there isn't a word to describe it. In one sense, it has energised me not to waste a second longer, but in another sense, who am I compared to this clever dude who started young with some much balls and knowledge, wisdom etc etc etc....... I was always ambitious in my early years, now I feel like I do not have a second to waste. I seriously want to be wealthy, I want that on my Life Resume, not for any other reason, than for it to be like a Grade I achieved at College, University, etc. With Distinction.
Jez I AM is there a difference on we’ll off and wealthy?
And thanks John
I come back to this interview and it really is fascinating. I love the out of the box thinking and enthusiasm for life that Jesse has.
The beauty of this message is that it rekindles your thoughts about life, time and how precious they both are. Thank you Jesse for sharing. After a recent, unexpected family passing LIFE has been a very difficult subject... pondering one's soul of why we choose to be away from the ones we love to follow our dreams or stubbornness... without the guarantee that we or our loved ones will even make it through the night. This truly rekindled a spark to create a bigger sense of urgency and more memorable moments in what time we pray we have left... and for that I am very grateful. I don't claim any labels/religions... but right now I'm reading multiple books, the Life of a Yogi, a few others and the Bible... and the scripture John 5:24 allows a little more pondering on this topic if one may be interested.
Tom thank you for your efforts. You're so incredibly thorough, the depth of research you go into before hand, the quality of questioning, even the layout of the description. I can only thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like the show!
I consider Impact Theory as a gift from god. Thank you Tom, thank you so much.
I love how this show asks these hugely successful guys "what is the impact you want to have on the world" and often it seems to stop them for a short pause maybe with guilt and realization.. they recognize their accomplishments have been their life not the strengthening of humanity itself. I guess the main point of the show is how to improve ones self but to ask these incredible men this question is so important. It is truly amazing what can be accomplished in one life time. I look forward to watching more of "impact theory", would love to see more interviews with people who have cultured positive changes in themselves and improved society for all. Thanks so much for this show and asking that question.When one rises up we all rise up.
It doesn’t matter what people think Alejandra! No one will be around in a 100 years that you might encounter now! Woooooo! Face your fears!
Wow.... Time.... No better motivator than the realization that time is fading away. Thanks for the video once again.
Something that he said that many people may not have grabbed onto that I wrote down as soon as I heard it was, reagrding distractions in life, "Whatever your goal is, you have to get there, you have to get the porkchop". My new mantra... You have to get the Porkchop!
Tom, you're style of interviewing you're gusts is incredible. Thank you so much for you're for you're efforts, I'm so grateful that's I found out about you ✌😁😊
I've found many parts of the interview very interesting, but the one I felt very connected with is when he got to the monastery and he tried to meditate the first hour. A few days ago I was working on a leather bag I was making when suddenly I realized that success for me was not the money or any other material things, but how I am when I'm by myself. If I can just sit and experience the greatness of life doing "no-thing", then I consider in my own view that I'm super successful. Sorry if it doesn't make a lot of sence, I just wanted to share the way I'm experiencing it. Thanks again Tom and team for your amazing work
Miguel Montano #perspective 😍
I know now this is something we realize at some point in our lives depending on our own individual development when I was your age I knew this intuitively, but I guess I let my ego take control without me knowing. Now I'm 41and still learning about life and my own self. Life plays a very funny game with us and I can tell you in my experience is all about a combination of action and patience
nice realisation. how's it working out for you?
It's working out very well, thanks for asking. Is the foundation of my wellbeing. If can be and feel wonderful just by myself then everything else is just extra, cheers
wonderful and good for you Miguel. may your foundation grow deeper and deeper.
Tom, I just subscribed after lurking on several of your videos for a while now. I have to say that you are one of the BEST interviewers I have ever encountered. I love that you ask questions that I never even thought (which is rare) of and find myself extremely interested in the answers from many people that I never even knew about. It's very inspirational stuff and new veins of information. Thank you! I may not have the people successful people that I need in my circle, but your channel makes it as close to possible as that can be right now.
Tom, I love the way you interview. Always knowledgable on your guests, you ACTUALLY listen, and you give a shit. Love everything you're doing and keep up the great work.
The perspective he's talking about gave me chills. Thanks for the interview!
Tom!!!! Brother, do you do just regular talks? Every episode I have caught has been excellent. You set a high bar my friend. Thank you for your constant contribution to making us all more conscious of what is possible, the excellence that sometimes lies dormant within us.
His words about being aware of ones mortality hit HARD and much needed! BEST interview everrrr
One of the most profound interviews I've consumed. Thank you Tom for what you're creating for us and thank you Jesse for sharing your experience and perspective. GRATEFUL for you both!
Wow - a genuine guy and legit inspiration. I can relate to his monastery experience and trying to clear away the distractions. Thanks, Tom. One of your best interviews.
Dude.. That's fuckin' HUGE! As men, we don't know what we're feeling. 2017 was a huge year for me in learning about relationships. One of the biggest things I learned was women experience life through the emotion attached to the fact, And men experience life through JUST the fact(s).
"Experience takes too long."
And then he turns around and says he learns better through experience instead of only reading books...lol I love this guy
Experience meaning having had a bunch of practice
I just love this guy, what an inspirational human being
Jesse Itzler: The achievements you've made in the past 25 years are unparalleled, exceptional & motivating like nothing else.
Beside the financial success & the athletic lifestyle success... you've started impacting literally millions of lives by sharing your experiences... just introducing David Goggins to the world to learn from was a lifetime achievement, your book "living with a seal" was a lifetime achievement... and you have hundreds of other achievements that successful people can't get in their lifetime
PLEASE: Don't make your previous success and achievements to be the reason for you fear in your next 25 years... hope you can do so many 25 years in good health, happiness and success!
muha! kiss that ass harder
Great Interview And Take Aways As I'm 50 Years Old, Grateful For All I Have And My Family, But Still Pursuing The Journey To Make A Positive Impact! I Want To Compress Time In Certain Ways And Slow It Down In Other Ways For People, Escape The Matrix And Compose A Better Way Forward! Thanks, Tom 🎸😎🍷✌️🌴🙏
THis is absolutely incredible. Jesse Itzler is just fascinating, and Tom just asks the perfect questions. Extremely Valuable.
Friggin love his inspo. I'm here because of tiktok I had no idea who he was. Amazing
Jesse Itzler is the realest. I can see how he has gotten so far. He really appreciates people and means it. Learned so much from this interview. Thankyou.
Tom Bilyeu, your guests are amazing but what you bring out of them with your questioning is everything. Loving what your doing and I'm excited to see who your going to introduce me to next!
Feels good to know that everything Jesse said is in tune with my mindset and way of life. He not only spoke about it, but showed the world as he changed the perception of reality for many people. Thank you for the interview Tom! Thanks for the experience Jesse!
Powerful powerful POWERFUL! The last segment about remaining summers and time with parents was especially gripping. Time is SO damn valuable...thanks for this!
I just dove into this channel a couple months ago. Thank you for this... I LOVE Jesse's message and will now be diving into his work.
He cracks me up, love his personality 100% key to life stay creative & curious! Never stop connecting or learning, grow as a person as much as you can!
great episode, his achievements are raw inspiration-and at the same time he seems soooo ingredibly natural and human!
also I want to give some positive feedback concerning the raw impact videos! love watching full episodes - like this one! but to rewatch the keymessage of an episode someday later, these "summaries" are so so suitable! thanks for everything you and your team do and greets from germany
Its pretty amazing all the guests you continue to bring onto the show, and the varied fields they operate in. Its helping me develop further the abundance mindset. Like Bedros said last week, there is a problem out there only you can solve, there is plenty of success potential to find in the world. One just has to be willing to put in the work and grow through the screw ups. Another great interview, thanks!
Stand out interview and guest., Tom. Haven’t checked in for a while but great as ever. As a 52 year old, the “28 Summers” point was a powerful takeaway. Keep up the great work 😀👍
Awesome interview! Really loved hearing Jesse's excitement and passion for life. Also fun hearing his stories. Thank you for taking the time to do this and publish this Tom!
I stopped at 18:44 to write a thank you note to Tom.
Thank you for introducing to me an amazing person. If not for you I would never know who he is and his amazing life philosophy.
He seems authentic, cheerful, smart, and really wise. I learned a lot from his wisdom.
Thanks for bringing Jesse to this programme.Humble man with great attitude on life.Inspirational
Tom. ...Finding your channel has had a profoundly positive impact in an abundace of aspects of my life. Your collective selection of guests is phenomenal.
Finally!! I had to insert ‘Living with a Seal’ into your reading list,after watching Goggins! All the books you recommend have been super impactful! Thank you and keep it up!
Most impactful episode of Impact Theory I have seen so far. Loved Jesse's explanation of how we should view time, that we should get experiences as far reaching as possible, even though there is a lot of risk involved and there will be naysayers. Also got a great insight into how relationships, not just romantic relationships, should work- each person should build the other up and be their biggest cheerleader.
I hesitated to watch this video. But im so damn glad i did. I would love for Jesse to be my mentor. He has everything i want. Mentally, spiritually and physically. So mamy leasons to be learned from him. Its amazing.
This is by far, the most inspirational interview I’ve ever watched. Thank you!
One of the most amazing interviews I saw
all this inspiring content, Tom - thank you for making this so accessible to us for free.
I've binge watched so much of your videos now and regard them as a daily resource to keep me motivated. They encourage me to grow more rapidly as a person.
Tom, this is the BEST thing I’ve ever listened to!! The questions you asked and Jesse’s take on life is incredible!! As an entrepreneur out to help as many people, animals, and as much nature as possible, I am truly inspired! THANK YOU BOTH!! ❤❤❤
Thanks Tom, for bringing for us a great interview. Jessie perspective of seeing the other side of timing (remaining) for doing Worthful things in life is very impactful on me.
There were moments where I, as an observer, could feel you soaking in the words from Jesse. Your innate ability to be such an active listener is something I strive for. Thank you for showing how to conduct another great interview.
That was beyond awesome... I told my grand-daughter I'd pay her $30 to do a book report on this video touching on every key point Jesse made.
I just turn 50 myself. I celebrated it in a wonderful trip to Iceland, it was a very special trip for many reasons. I noticed the same feeling Jesse has since he turned 50, but I couldn't pin point what was exactly the reason of the new passion and excitement about life. Grateful and blessed.
Love the content and the people you bring on the show. The idea of time as Jesse explained resonated with me and I always keep myself aware of my mortality and the mortality of my loved ones. Thank you.
This was one of your best Tom. I like the emotional restraint you maintained throughout the interview. It allowed Jesse to be more of the focus. IT is an incredible boost mate. Thank you.
"Being an entrepreneur is lonely" No truer words have blessed my ears today. This resonated to my core. I love all your interviews, and this one is def up there in my faves and I haven't even finished yet. Ok going back to the interview now!
I am so grateful I was drawn to this video. Learned a lot! Thank you so much both!
Time to get some work done 💪 loved today's episode!
Jesse is AWESOME; great conversation- so many lasting nuggets of wisdom!
The advice on networking and sending letters of appreciation is so fascinating. It’s so simple and extremely impactful. Amazing interview.
Amazing. I love this community so much! Thank you, Tom, for getting Jesse to talk, he and Sara are so inspiring ♥️ also, Gogins ♥️
The monastery experience can be tried in a minimized way by spending a shift at the library when you need to produce results. Always better than staying home...
Wow... such a great interview!! There are so many strong takeaways from empowering yourself, maximizing the time you have left to make an impact. I too am 50, and time is limited. Jessie’s point about frequency of seeing other loved ones hits home... Making an effort to live in the moment with gratitude and appreciation is so important. Great interview !!!
Before this I hadn’t realized you co-founded Quest, a brand that I like very much. I know first hand much of what you went through building a bar/nutrition brand since back in the day I had built the fastest growing low carb bar in the US. Our goals were different crush Atkins Nutritionals versus yourself starting from a place of core values and inner desire to really help others and not making compromises. Great videos.. love em... Thanks for doing what you do...:)!!!!
It is so amazing what people are capable of achieving. So inspiring. Love this show!
I was gonna listen for a few minutes in the shower. Ended up ditching my entire morning routine. "28 summers" hit home hard.
This guy is absolutely amazing and so inspiring! Love this interview, one of the best I have seen! Thank you so much Tom & Team, your doing such a great job!
Jesse always makes me speechless
He can live the absolute most luxurious life in this life, however he lives his life as a roll model, motivator, inspiration to below average human beings like me.
Knowing that Jesse is at least 200 times richer than the richest person I’ve ever me, however, I feel like he’s a friend that I know in person for years with his strange modesty and being that down to earth.... this beautiful human being is forcing me to stay out of my comfort zone (for my own good) and I wish if I can thank him.
Mohamed Abdelkarim role **
Agreed!
Write him a thank you letter man. And never consider yourself below average
I don't know you, but you are NOT below average. Don't sell yourself short. You are average. LOL. I kid. Seriously; believe in yourself.
Gr8 Interview!!! ThankYou
Thank you for this! I needed this! 💖 Love your channel Tom. Thank you for doing what you do! 😊
This is so important and people need to know that it is okay to aim high and not fear about how you look or not accomplish in the mean time. Thank you for recognizing that being fearless allows you to aim for new challenges and not hold you back in life to be able to live full out.
One of the best episode .Thank Tom.
Lakdhes Selvan 100%
Tom... So glad that you exist, thank you for all that you bring and the Impact that you're making.
Love Jesse itzler . He’s a good spokesperson . His stories are amazing..
Just had to stop at 18:55, not to bookmark something said, but to say that this is easily one of the best and most genuine interviews between 2 people I've ever seen or heard. I dont know if it's cause Itzler is just my fav kind of person. (eccentric). Or what.
This is first I think I've heard of him but I'm sold. 🙏🏾
This goes to show here it is over a year older and this is so impactful and soooo well needed thank you impact theory for continuing to make us be a better wiser human race!!!!
Right at three years later and I’m finding it at just the right time 😄
That was absolutely fantastic - words cannot describe how much I appreciated that interview, you were BOTH super great. Thank you.
This is still one of my most watched episodes of Impact Theory. What a legend Jesse is! If I ever need it, I get reminded that there is ALWAYS a way. Always. And, that time should be spent deliberately. Thanks again for this fantastic episode, I hope there will be more with Jesse in the future 🤩 (*This is also often the first episode I show to people when introducing them to IT. And it works)
The part about visiting your parents is particularly impactful. That's why I make time with my parents frequently enough that I don't regret not spending time when I had it.
Dillon, I wish everyone had your mindset. That's exactly what saved me when my Mom recently passed. I can't even imagine if I was on my phone or not focused on talking with her on my last visit. Please continue what you're doing. It will serve you well when that fateful day finally arrives.
I truly believe that we can do whatever we put our minds to do. Nothing is impossible to those who believe and have the faith that the whole universe will surrender your dreams to you, never give up and just keep shooting for the moon, even if you miss you will land amongst the stars.
Love your focus and perspectives on time and the urgency taking action now.
Listened to the Book on Audible...absolutely worth the listen.
Nice to hear him speak about some of this in person.
Also, if you haven’t read/listened to his other Book, ‘Living with SEAL’, I HIGHLY recommend it.
💥👊🏻💥
I just bought it myself - is it Jesse reading it ?
Excellent interview. "Twenty-eight summers left" really has opened my eyes. Wow.
So grateful I discovered the Impact Theory this guy interviews the best of the best. Thank you.
Phenomenal interview. Honestly, just phenomenal. What an inspiring individual Jesse is.
One of my favorite interviews ever
I love that he got into the TED people by buying all the muffins. The one time that you leverage muffins heavier than gold or a flashy conference badge. Amazing.
