Summary

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Tom Bilyeu of “Impact Theory” about why he continues to live in Los Angeles despite high taxes and crime; how he learned to take important risks; his vital advice for young entrepreneurs; why his show that was focused on mindset evolved to cover financial and world affairs; his journey from film school to building and selling Quest Nutrition for a billion dollars, emphasizing the importance of pursuing passion even in the face of potential failure; the two potential paths that AI could take us on; the potential of AI to revolutionize energy access and solve complex problems rapidly; why we are about to enter the disruptive "valley of despair" of AI; the unpredictable journey of entrepreneurship; why starting a business is like entering a tunnel without knowing if the light at the end is an oncoming train; societal shifts and the future of AI and technology; how to properly deal with older generations that are clinging to power; why he predicts a societal split between humanists and transhumanists, leading to potential conflicts; why despite the potential for disruption, he remains optimistic about AI's role in enhancing human life; and much more.

0:00.0	All right, I'm Dave Rubin and joining me in studio today is the host of Impact Theory, Tom Biliu.

0:26.8	And I left Los Angeles very publicly and I've had many people who still live in Los Angeles
0:31.8	in this studio and I always start by saying why why are you
0:36.0	still there?
0:37.0	The honest answer is momentum so I have a company there I've been there for 30 years now.
0:43.0	And so if I could snap my fingers
0:46.1	and my entire company would move with me
0:48.0	and I wouldn't lose the people whom I care about very deeply,
0:51.9	it's an easy tax consideration question. I mean that's just a
0:54.5	no-brainer. I paid so much just to California. It's pretty startling. But that
1:00.8	that really is the biggest reason and then look LA is an amazing place from a weather perspective
1:07.5	So yeah, but they're beyond that the company. There's not a lot that anchors me.
1:14.0	Have you considered asking the team because I can tell you that when I had two companies and when I was
1:19.4	making the decision for us for the family I knew I had to ask my guys and I thought, all right,
1:24.8	maybe nobody's coming and actually everybody came.
1:28.1	Yes, so we've certainly talked about it with the company.
