Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of AMA. I'm your host Tom Billiou and today I'm going to be answering your questions as always.

And by the way, if you want to get your questions answered, be sure to submit them to connect at impact theory.com.

You can remain anonymous. Just make sure you put that otherwise we may say your name.

And by the way, from this moment on, I'm going to be going absolutely ham on the fact that we are launching our first comic book.

For those of you that somehow this is flown under the radar, still can't believe people tell me that they don't even know that we're working on that.

Impact theory is a studio boys and girls. So we do both the nonfiction content, which is what you're listening to now.

And we're creating fiction content. Our first comic book is coming out October 4th. This is 2018 that this is coming to you.

So October 4th 2018, we're going to be at New York City Comic Con, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th I believe are the dates.

If you're going to be anywhere in New York City, come and see me.

If you've ever wondered how you can support, you can come by the booth, say what's up, grab a free copy of the comic book.

We're actually going to be giving it out free. If you have any interest, only come if you actually care about the world of narrative fiction.

But come by, that would be amazing to see you. I can't wait. We're going to be announcing soon. There's a celebrity associated with the book.

We're going to be announcing that. It's going to be awesome. I was just spending time with the artist. It is incredible. This book is amazing. I'll just say it plainly.

It's absolutely fantastic. I'm super stoked. All right. First question. Orlando Raymos.

I just finished reading the biography of Elon Musk by Ashley Vance.

And I see that while Musk has an incredible drive, purpose and passion for what he is seeking to accomplish,

he also seems to use his deep depression as a great tool to keep him moving forward.

It made me think of your 80-20 rule, although you've spoken of the 20 in terms of rage as fuel.

My question is, have you ever used the darkness of depression to fuel your mission?

And if so, how do you keep such a debilitating state from completely consuming you?

Okay. So first of all, I'll speak from my perspective far more than Elon Musk's.

But I think that a lot of people are able to tap into the darkness, read Tim Grover's book Relentless.
