Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with acclaimed geopolitical strategist and author Peter Zeihan for a sobering and eye-opening look at the unraveling of the global order as we know it. Together, they dig into the tectonic shifts reshaping our world—from the collapse of post-World War II systems of trade and security, to the demographic time bombs ticking away in major economies.

Peter Zeihan breaks down why America's current turmoil isn't just about political personalities like Trump, but the inevitable result of decades-long trends in trade, security, and population dynamics. You'll hear why the globalized, hyper-specialized system that's underpinned prosperity for generations is coming to an end, and what it might mean as countries are forced to turn inward.

The conversation takes you from the historical roots of American foreign policy to the present day challenges of deglobalization, industrial decline, and political upheaval. Tom Bilyeu and Peter Zeihan don't shy away from tackling controversial topics—from the real drivers of political chaos and the future of U.S.-China relations, to the economic consequences of an aging population and the uncertain future of capitalism itself.

If you've been wondering what's really driving today's global uncertainty, or how America and the rest of the world might navigate the coming storms, this episode is for you. Get ready to have your assumptions challenged and your perspective widened—this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
