Leap Academy with Ilana Golan · Tom Bilyeu: How I Proved Everyone Wrong and Built a Billion-Dollar Brand | E62 · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

And the big punchline for me is that the reason most people don't make the progress in their life is because they either don't believe that only belief that matters. voice-verified

So they just don't practice. voice-verified

They don't push themselves. voice-verified

Or what I'll sum up as they're afraid to be embarrassed. voice-verified

If you're afraid of embarrassing yourself, because you will, you're going to look stupid a lot when you try something you're not good at and you put yourself out there and you really put yourself in a situation where there's high stakes, which is how you're going to get better. voice-verified

You're going to look stupid and people are going to laugh at you and it actually is going to set you back. voice-verified

And most people, they just can't deal with that. voice-verified

And they never put two and two together that, yes, I take one step back, but every time I step back, I learn something new. voice-verified

So every step back, every defeat, every embarrassment, if you stop and reflect on it, you're actually growing more powerful. voice-verified

So you're only stepping back in the eyes of other people. voice-verified

And in a world of 9 billion people, it literally doesn't matter. voice-verified

If a billion of them think I'm a moron and 8 billion don't even know who I am, I have an opportunity to go impress voice-verified

The other 8 billion people, people are just so convinced that, oh man, I only get one shot to make a first impression and I blew it. voice-verified

And that just isn't true. voice-verified

You blew that chance, but you learned something. voice-verified

Now go blow another billion of those chances and then talk to me at that point about how strong you are. voice-verified

So just most people, they just cannot sit in the difficult emotion of looking stupid. voice-verified

What happened at film school was I really got my first taste of discipline that if I set my mind to achieving something and I'm willing to pay a higher price than anybody else, then I actually can make it come true. voice-verified

So I would not have had any of these words back then. voice-verified

I was really just acting out of desperation and fear, which is perfectly fine. voice-verified
