Long time listener - first time reviewer :). Over the last year, I have gone from to listening to Tom and his team sporadically to waiting for the next episode to drop. His balanced evaluation of economics, AI and other technology, and current politics makes me feel more confident in understanding what is going on in the world today. Highly recommend.

This podcast is often like bad tasting medicine. Or a bitter pill. Not a lot of sugar coating. The gems are actionable. In other words, this podcast tells you things you can DO. Cannot recommend more highly or I’d give it 6 stars.
**spicey** · Jun 2026
From free will to global economics to starting a business, Tom Bilyeu presents info with clear, steady passion. Passion doesn’t distort here. Tom’s passion drives home which decision is the next step to change for the better. Some entertainment but mostly dense content which makes this podcast worthwhile.
Astroboy483 · Jun 2026
Tom‘s thoughtful podcasts are almost always insightful and his heart of compassion for the common man always shows through. He’s edgy but fair. He listens well to the individuals he interviews. He has civil debates with them that I enjoy.
Serve to Lead · Mar 2026
I’ve been listening for years and am embarrassed that I recommended it to everyone as the #1 show I listen to. This turn he’s taken is awful. Every show is basically “You’re all dumb if you’re not blindly supporting the right” which is ironic. Tom used to host an informative pragmatic show. Now it’s a clown car of conspiracies, misinformation, and hypocrisy.
wthnick423t235ty4g4whg · Sep 2024
I’ve listened to this show for 5 years. It was recommended to me by someone and I found so much value in it that I’ve recommended it to at least a dozen others. Never before have I regretted that decision until now. Tom’s recent episode with Gad Saad was an abomination. Tom allowed what worked out to be a thinly veiled Trump ad to go on with the lightest pushback I’ve ever seen from him. Even the times he began to push back, like when Gad Saad claimed there are no actual signs that Donald Trump wanted to undermine democracy in the US, he had to sheepishly say “This isn’t me speaking, but January 6th was sorta bad, but this is me speaking as someone with Trump derangement syndrome. These aren’t my own thoughts!” Grow a backbone or be upfront with your shift to a more common grift. Here are some asinine notes from Saad’s comments that received no pushback. We are told by him to look deeper at Donald Trump’s policies and not take him at face value. We are told the exact opposite about Biden. We are told there are no examples, and no one is able to provide any when asked, of Donald Trump having an affinity for being a dictator (there are several, Tom, maybe read an article with some quotes from the man himself). We are told to believe that Biden is a greater threat to democracy because of DEI. Saad is unable to clearly articulate why DEI is such a threat aside from a story about a single university making 2 diversity hires. He’s either ignorant on the topic or purposely gaslighting folks to believe that DEI itself is anti-merit, and I’m happy to come on and explain it to both of you anytime. We get to hear this man proselytize about the American president needing to be more feared and unpredictable to be able to work with middle eastern leaders. We are told that Obama is the equivalent of a sexy woman selling a product but lacking in substance (several issues with this, no pushback whatsoever). We are told Trump is the opposite. Sam Harris, who I respect but pushback on on many topics, is mocked for having a lisp and being progressive simply because he sees Donald Trump as a genuine threat to democracy. This was one of the most one-sided, intellectually dishonest interviews I’ve ever heard from Tom and it’s both deeply disturbing and disappointing. There are so many other examples from this mess, but I’m too exhausted from waiting for Tom to make a single, genuine counter argument to list them all. If Tom is no longer capable of producing a podcast that is a better quality than this, I will be forced to stop listening. I am one node in this network, but I’ll be sure to turn off the 12 or so others I’ve turned on in hopes they’ll do the same. Do better.
