Tom Bilyeu joins James Smith to discuss how broken the modern economy really is. The host of Impact Theory and co-founder of Quest Nutrition argues that inflation is theft, that you cannot save your way to success anymore, and that elites are quietly funneling wealth from the working class.
He explains:
◼️ Why a balanced budget changes every policy argument
◼️ How property markets get fixed by deregulation, not taxes
◼️ Why men should be encouraged to go hard in the paint
◼️ How AI is shrinking headcount while multiplying output
◼️ Why paying down debt can quietly beat the stock market
