In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and impact-driven business leader Tom Bilyeu to discuss the journey from startup to billion-dollar exit and the deeper personal costs of ambition. Tom opens up about the moment he saw life-changing wealth hit his bank account, only to realize that money doesn’t solve internal struggles. We dive into his relationship with his wife, Lisa, and how they navigate the balance between high-performance entrepreneurship and maintaining a strong marriage. Tom shares how he defines success, why skill acquisition is the key to freedom, and how he maintains his relentless drive while keeping his personal life intact. This conversation goes beyond business strategies—it’s about mindset, relationships, and personal growth. If you've ever wondered what happens after financial success or how to maintain a healthy marriage while chasing big dreams, this episode is for you.Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:22) - Chris Visits Tom’s Studio(01:04) - Billion-Dollar Exit: The Real Story(02:33) - The Moment Money Hits Your Account(03:47) - Money as a Tool vs. Self-Worth(07:12) - The Thrill of the Chase(08:32) - The Personal Cost of Success(13:15) - Marriage, Relationships & Entrepreneurship(17:03) - Prioritizing Marriage While Pursuing Success(22:42) - The Balance Between Work & Love(27:04) - The Importance of Understanding Your Partner(31:55) - Making Relationships Work Long-Term(38:08) - Chris & Tom Reflect on Ambition & Drive(38:38) - Part Two Teaser: Creative EntrepreneurshipCheck out today's guest, Tom Bilyeu:Tom's Website: https://impacttheory.com/Tom's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeuTom's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBilyeuCheck out The Futur:Website: https://www.thefutur.com/Courses: https://www.thefutur.com/shopLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-futur/Podcasts: https://thefutur.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuturishere/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFuturisHere/Twitter: https://x.com/thefuturishereTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefuturishereYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/thefuturishereCheck out Chris Do:Website: https://zaap.bio/thechrisdoLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechrisdo/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BizOfDesignInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thechrisdo/Twitter:https://x.com/thechrisdoTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thechrisdoThreads:https://www.threads.net/@thechrisdoZaap: https://zaap.bio/thechrisdoClubhouse:https://www.clubhouse.com/@thechrisdoBehance: https://www.behance.net/chrisdo
