Identity is all around you. Whether you’re consuming social media, reading a book, streaming a new series online, or having a conversation with a friend or family member, you are receiving signals from the world that shape your self-identity. From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, your self-identity is switched on and telling you the parameters of which you need to live in. What if we can escape this box we’ve built around us? What does true freedom from excuses look like? On this episode of Impact Theory, world-renowned speaker, author, and venture capitalist Vusi Thembakwayo joins Tom Bilyeu to discuss such matters and more as they explore the controversial ideas of self-identity, freedom of the mind, and why you have no excuse to begin taking action today. They discuss how self-identity can limit our potential, why being free doesn’t mean living in freedom, why you have to have a willingness to fail, how to be your own savior, and the inspiration of Nelson Mandela.

    I've been saying the same for so many years. As a South African I have consistently said the reason why we can't progress faster is because we stay focused on the emotion. Our leaders stick to identity politics and create tribal division rather than the unity required to move forward as a nation.

    @@dmonk952 question is, how does intelligence come about? People become intelligent by equipping themselves with knowledge, and this knowledge they only acquire it through learning. No one is born a genius. Its people who develop passion for things and therefore open their minds to learning more with the goal of mastering that become geniuses. They dont just learn to become knowledgeable. They learn to even better their learning, and thats why i can show you something completely new to you and it takes you a week to figure out but you find there is someone just as non knowledgeable about it as you who can figure it out within a space of a few hours. So learning to become a better learner, i think thats how geniuses become. So what you see as "intelligent people", is actually people who have learnt to learn better. Nobody perfectly figures it out the 1st time. its always about learning and i think thats what Vusi means.

    I disagree... it's much better to believe in yourself FIRST and have those who believe in you afterwards so that you may accurately know what it truly means to be "believed in" ... I say that because many people believe in the wrong people, such as narcissists --people without "true" self-belief and who tend to misconstrue your belief for being needy, manipulative, or over-emotional. And therefore ruin the relationship entirely due to self-sabotage .. Discernment and self-love is KEY! ...

    As a Cameroonian, I see everything Vusi says as clearly as the morning sun. I have thesame ambitions of changing the mindset of Africans by action and not by words. I read ferociously, Listened to hundreds of TEDX talks and motivational videos. I'm currently re-writing the second draft of my first book and as soon as I'm done, I'm starting the second book for which I already have an outline. Africa needs radical thinkers like Vusi and I hope that someday I get to meet him and join forces to emancipate my fellow brothers and sisters from this limited mindset. Thank you Tom for putting him on the spotlight. Your videos inspire me everyday.

    👍Agree💯 It’s the mindset that has to change first. Very difficult. It is so difficult, that not even God can change it. Just think of this: The children of Israel, in the Bible, were 40 years in the desert. All because of their mindset. This man may be young, but full of wisdom more than most older people nowadays. I’m so glad to hear him speak! God bless him. And God bless you in your future endeavors.

So either you choose to carry on work out or quit you can’t have them both.👌👌👌

    @@youngham87 I was just celebrating him for his achievements. This is a global platform, he has lifted our flag so high. Not everyone gets interviewed by Tom Bilyou, who’s focus is on the world’s highest achievers and Vusi Thembekwayo happened to be one of them with a net worth greater than his age in USD. It’s good to hear good news about fellow South Africans, we need to celebrate with them and this one is our youth, future president.
