| 0:00.0 | When you say people hate male ambition, what do you mean about that? |
| 0:02.5 | Okay, 30-ish years ago, we started telling men that they were gross for wanting to get laid or wanting to become truly extraordinary. |
| 0:10.1 | Having found my wife when I was 24 and watching her nudge me to be better and to do more has just been an incredible ride. |
| 0:18.6 | To me, it just seems patently absurd that you wouldn't want to encourage men to achieve and do things |
| 0:23.6 | other people think is impossible. |
| 0:24.6 | Tom Billu is the host of the leading podcast impact theory and the co-founder of the |
| 0:29.6 | billion-dollar company Quest Nutrition, which revolutionized protein bars and supplements. |
| 0:33.6 | Tom, what is the problem with our understanding the economy? |
| 0:36.6 | The economy really is broken, and so the person that's winning in a system that is corrupt, you just naturally go, well, then that person must be corrupt. Instead of asking themselves, how does the economy actually work so I can actually identify the real villain? They just go with the PR slogans. If we were to give people actionable things that they could do in the short term, what are those things? So there's a very simple set of things if you want to get ahead financially. Number one.

| 1:30.8 | It is immoral the way that our society is set up right now where you cannot save your way to success, |
| 1:38.3 | that you are forced to gamble in the stock market. And I think it is an absolute tragedy. |
| 1:44.6 | And it is the elites abusing people who simply don't understand. |
| 1:48.6 | And it allows them to funnel money from the poor and working class to the wealthy. |
| 1:54.7 | It is wild. |
| 1:55.6 | And I'm one of the wealthy. |
| 1:56.6 | And I'm telling you right now, like this system has to stop. |
