Tom is one of the best interviewers and always asks questions that they do not typically get. I’ve been a fan and follower for years. Interesting to see the political guests now but in true Tom fashion he is just trying to learn more, expose followers to different view points and to seek answers. The people who condemn certain guests don’t understand what impact theory is really about.
FunBobby2025 · Aug 2024
Tom takes his listeners on his own learning journey. His natural, compelling curiosity about our society mirrors the national conversation that independent thinkers in America are having. You can actually hear him learning while he talks to his guests. “Explain it to me like I’m five” is a great example of how he pulls out the most salient points the listeners need to hear from his guests. It’s a great use of your time to listen to the end of each episode.
AHSRaven72 · Aug 2024
I love listening to Impact Theory because Tom Bilyeu offers balanced and intelligent conversations on a wide range of relevant topics, including politics, health, and wellness. His approach is non-emotional and thoughtful, making this one of the few truly intelligent podcasts available.
Orshi McNaughton · Jul 2024
Would listen for self-improvement topics, but the transition to politics along with that an actual change is on the horizon feels empowering and makes me want to work harder at what I do. This certainly will rub certain individuals off the wrong way, but this transition I am enjoying.
Erictrack1234 · Dec 2024
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.

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.
