Impact Theory
About this episode

Nobody is successful in life without overcoming failure and adversity several times along the way. We’re revisiting some of the most compelling interviews ever on Impact Theory in this mashup. Tai Lopez, Jay Williams, David Bayer, and Tim Grover have got heavy-duty stories about not quitting, what you need to do if you find yourself in a hole, and how you can pivot to a better life.

Tai Lopez is an entrepreneur, author, investor, motivational speaker, crypto philanthropist, and creator of The 67 Steps Program, a guide to simplifying the process of personal profit and higher philosophical understanding of the “Good Life.” Check out his full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX5eajzLJMU

By age 21, Jay Williams had achieved his dreams of playing in the NBA and becoming wealthy. But before his second season, he suffered a horrific motorcycle accident that led to 10 surgeries, months in the ICU, and doubts that he would walk again. It took him years to heal, but he eventually clawed his way out of the darkness to become a popular NBA analyst. See his full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbFQ_GCdwgk

David Bayer built a series of highly successful internet ventures but paid a price, battling long-term drug addiction and alcoholism. He eventually recovered and embraced a new addiction…personal evolution. Today, he’s made it his mission to help people overcome their limiting beliefs through visualization to get to their optimal mindset. See his full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCIBQigXR8I&t=67s

Tim Grover is an iconic peak performance and mental toughness trainer who has coached hundreds of athletes, including Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. He is also the author of two widely acclaimed best sellers, Relentless and Winning, that have become must-reads by anyone seeking to blast through barriers holding them back.
