    Bassem Youssef on How To Laugh In the Face of Danger (Replay)

    Bassem Youssef on How To Laugh In the Face of Danger (Replay)

    Before he was the “Jon Stewart of Egypt,” Bassem Yousseff was a heart surgeon in Cairo with no online following. But when the revolution broke out in Egypt in 2011, he and his friend decided to take action, launching a satirical show that brazenly mocked the government in a way that had never before been seen on Egyptian TV. He became an overnight sensation reaching 5 million views within the first three months.
    His hit series named “The Show” became the most watched show in Egyptian television history, raking in 30 to 40 million viewers per episode. As he rose to stardom, detractors called for his death, and yet, Bassem continued to produce his show until it became too dangerous for any station to carry.
    He ultimately fled the country out of fear, not for his own life, but for the safety of those around him. Meet the man that Time Magazine named one of the world's most influential pioneers in this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.

    Dr. Andrew Huberman on How to Change Your Brain By Using These Hacks to Increase Your Dopamine (Replay)

    Dr. Andrew Huberman on How to Change Your Brain By Using These Hacks to Increase Your Dopamine (Replay)

    People have been obsessing and hearing about dopamine and its role in human behavior for years. You may think of it as the feel-good happy hormone, or you may associate it with addiction, love, lust and sex. As our lives convert over to a totally digital experience that is with us everywhere we are in the form of a cell phone, dopamine detox has even started gaining in popularity.
    Dr. Andrew Huberman from the Huberman Lab is back again to unpack some of the more surprising discoveries and uses of dopamine. He cleverly relates dopamine to being a biological currency that has a role to play in human desire for more. Dopamine is the catalyst pushing humanity forward exploring things like cryptocurrency and pushing our limitations and what is possible, but is all of that for the sake of pleasure and feeling good?
    Dr. Huberman breaks down the eternal balance of pain and pleasure, arousal and relaxation and gives you the insight you need to start regulating your body’s dopamine release. If you thought dopamine was all about feeling good, Dr. Huberman is about to reveal why it’s more about what motivates you in the pursuit of something greater.

Oh my goodness…

Tom,
I can’t believe you and Dr. Huberman cited the Toy. I too think it.'s such a classic example of the spoiled child and how they have difficulty relating to the rest of the world.

Smart Podcast

The host is super dialed in two things. He is very smart and does his homework. I think he is completely honest with his thoughts and has great guests on. Great podcast.
