    Wow, the most impactful interview yet for the stage I'm at: Let yourself and others feel the pain. Push your emotional agility through being vulnerable. Love others, but don't give a shit about what they think about you. Condition and training your mind through mindfulness/being in the present.
  • @carlfidance3083
    This man Michael Gervais just walked onto the show and dropped nothing but gems for 40 minutes straight. I'm absolutely moved and renewed.

    'The reason people change is because of pain; the reason we grow is because we get uncomfortable'. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Loved this! Thank you Tom & Michael!!!
  • @MrG__2
    Tom is a masterful interviewer. He asked the follow up questions that I was literally thinking. Appreciate you sir
  • @davico23
    Tom you are saving my life, thanks for all the programs, interviews, wisdom shared by ur guests and you being the medium to provide that light to show a new and better more healthier path in the life of the people who watch the show, you r a great human being, God bless you
  • The fact that both are hosts and there is a good relay of questions for each other is awesome. Many facts has been stated here. Thank you so much Tom!
  • @RekoMoreno
    I have to say this is one of my favorite interviews, I got into Dr. Michael Gervais' podcast because a friend of mine completely changed his life in the last year. He attributed his mental change to Dr. Gervais, which got me listening to him immediately. And currently I've kind of hit rock bottom, or at least that is what it feels like to me in my career. It definitely has me in a very uncomfortable place, great to hear it's okay, and that it can be the driving force to get me to my goal. Thank you @Tom Bilyeu!
  • @pasoph2011
    Your interviews are so good that you continue to make your guests dive deeper than they had planned. I love it.
  • At 27 minutes - yes. This is what I needed to understand about how my brain works. This is the lesson I've been looking for. I've thought for a while about training physically and how training increases lung capacity. But I haven't quite figured out how to train my "brain capacity" to handle strong emotions. I've also been trying to do a lot right now and I have a "fear of overwhelm" which causes me to take steps backward instead of forward in my goals. I want to train my brain to maximize my potential even when I feel overwhelmed by all that I'm doing. Thank you!
  • @daliadalia4339
    I love this episode. Mike is thoughtful and thought provoking. Love when I can learn about mindset and I love that he connects it to emotions. Going to have to either watch it or listen to the podcast again 👌🏾👌🏻. Thanks Tom for your constant hard work!!

  • @TheZGALa
    I always expect to be inspired and moved to greater standards when I listen to an IT episode, and I am still blown away just a bout every time, by the variety of greatness you introduce me to. Thank you. I am so on board with this mission! Much Love to Michael, Tom, and everyone who helps put this show together and everyone listening/watching with intention to have a positive impact on our collective experiences.
  • @atturnec360
    Definitely at the top of my list for favorite guest you've had on the show Tom! So much value in one centralized place. For that, Thank You! Impact Theory is hands down doing that... IMPACTING! Like if you agree
  • @drz1093
    That was one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the channel. Thanks for doing that 🙏🏻
  • Thank you so much for sharing this Tom!. You’re awesome bro. Trained awareness is so powerful. Opened so much on my creativity and emotional control. Dr. Michael has some intense thoughts here.
  • @artturock820
    Tom: I've heard several interviews with Dr Gervais, an this was the best by far. Your questions got him to meaty examples, rather than too much psychological high brow conceptual information. You do a great job framing introductions too. BRAVO! I'm a new raving fan.
  • @chb762
    This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.
  • @apocisaiah4811
    This one surprised me quite a bit, I came expecting information on how to stay focused and efficient with time but left with so many jewels on fostering relationships. Job well done! I really enjoyed the section that got into Dr. Gervais marriage reconciliation when he discusses how to make those necessary deep conversations happen. Tom does a great job at hearing what the guest is coming to say, but then also making sure he finds something in their speech that makes it personally applicable to himself (and thus, the audience). I have yet again been introduced to another great leader out there in Dr. Gervais and will be leaving this will many more notes taken. -Isaiah Young
