49 min•29 augusti 2026

Om avsnittet

What's up, guys? Today I’m bringing you part 2 of a mind-blowing episode with former CIA intelligence officer and spycraft expert Andrew Bustamante. If you don’t know Andrew, he’s not only a decorated CIA veteran, but he’s also spent years consulting with top organizations on national security and critical decision-making. Andrew is a master at deconstructing the global chess game between superpowers, and today, we go deep into why AI is the new arms race, what China is really doing behind closed doors, and what it means for the future of America and the world.

We’re talking about everything from the chilling pragmatism of the Chinese government, the perils of declining self-belief in the West, and what we need to do right now to win the future. Whether you’re worried about rapid advances in artificial intelligence, the fate of democracy, or just want to know how to outsmart your competition in today’s noisy world, this episode is for you.

If you’re hungry for actionable insights on how to think at the highest strategic level, and you want the clarity to navigate a world that’s changing faster than ever before, you cannot miss this conversation. If you dig it like I did, please leave a review and help us get these vital ideas into the hands of everyone who wants to shape their destiny. I’m Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.
