In this powerful keynote edition of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sets the stage for a radical conversation on the difference between positive thinking and real empowerment. As tech innovation accelerates and artificial intelligence transforms every corner of our lives, Tom challenges creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers to confront uncomfortable truths: wishing for the best is not enough when disruption is at the door. This episode is a wake-up call for content creators as Tom unpacks the existential threat—and unparalleled opportunities—emerging in the wake of the AI revolution.

He explains how AI-generated content, evolving algorithms, and infinite virtual experiences are poised to permanently alter the landscape—and what you can do to adapt and evolve.
