Naveen Jain on Why Curiosity Will Save the World | Impact Theory

Naveen Jain’s laser focus on solving big problems has made him one of the most important voices in entrepreneurship today. He was named Ernst and Young's “Entrepreneur of the Year,” Silicon India's “Most Admired Serial Entrepreneur,” and continues to pioneer unprecedented achievements in multiple industries. Naveen came to America with only five dollars in his pocket and used his energy, enthusiasm, and undying optimism to turn it into billions.
His radical belief of transforming philanthropic ideals into self-sustaining economic vehicles is astounding. His company Viome aims to one day make illness a choice. Take a moment to get to know the entrepreneur and philanthropist who emphasizes the importance of solving actual problems in this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.

Hello, Tom and Impact theory team. I am a 17 yr old boy from India. I am so grateful to you for having such interviews that have made so much impact on my mindset so I could break the matrix. The 5-second rule, Flow state, Shots of Awe, the importance of neurology, tweaking our perceptions, entrepreneurial mindset.... Lot of things that you have introduced me to are far more valuable than what I have learnt in traditional education system. You are providing a spark that the youth needs the most. All the best. धन्यवाद. 🙏

[@MariviCastilloTips]

Aniket Shevade Just 17 and already enjoying this content!! I think you are gonna create a great future like Naveen is 👍🏼

[@mypersonalissue]

Aniket Shevade could relate to you.. me also from India just a bit older 17+10 ☺.. good you have a start at an early age.... i am also really greatful to Tom he is seriously doing a great job pulling us all out of the matrix.it is a different reality but surely the truth.. ..... try following jason silva he is also an awesome guy.... it is after watching jason's interview with tom... that i started following Tom 👍👍

[@aniketshevade7569]

I use Facebook mostly to follow Jason Silva. His unique way of discussing ideas has amplified my interest in everything.

[@kaushalsad5970]

WinnerTips10, I doubt it. That is not always the case. Tom rised from the ashes of his own misery. Not everyone become a success,mentor , master, and a rolemodel or has a wife, just like Tom.

[@caninetherapyinc9031]

I never heard of Tom Bilyeu until a month or so ago. I never heard of Naveen Jain until a few days ago. I am stunned and so grateful for the introduction of this man to my consciousness. Thank you, thank you, thank you! For all you do!

Thank you very much Tom. And your videos are also making impact on indian people. Great job. Keep it up.

Instead make India proud by doing something 😁

[@abdou5554]

As a Human , Why are we so bad for ourselves and to each others?

[@Qwoot]

Awesome episode, as always. Biggest impact points for me from his one: 1. The importance of establishing a "basic vocabulary" to enable you to rapidly go deep on complex topics. I've always considered myself intelligent but not educated enough to be able to tackle problems in complicated areas the way Naveen has. Learning how he approaches learning has forced me to rethink this. 2. "True happiness comes from being satisfied with what you have, but at the same time driving to use what you have, whether skills or financial resources, to go out and do tremendous good in the world." - I really like this reframing of the old adage of learning to be happy with what you have in a way that remains relevant to ambitious people who want to achieve things.

[@TomBilyeu]

Duuuuuuuude! I LOOOOOOVE those takeaways!

[@Abhyyt]

Very well said. I loved the point no. 2

[@ShivamSharma-xz5je]

[@MariviCastilloTips]

OMG 😲It's crazy all the knowledge that Naveen has and the way he approaches problems. Just AMAZING 👌🏼👌🏼Great job Tom, once more 😃

[@asheenharilal2351]

What an epic interview session Tom!! Navin's ability to understand your probing questions (your curiosity leading him to expose the "how"...), & then his magnificent intellect to immediately (with zero hesitation) to break down and articulate an answer than helps navigate the audience to understand and inspire-evoke in oneself the self-belief & confidence, to dream big, to think abundantly, to be curious... & playful + + Such awesome nuggets shared!! Wowzer, chills everywhere...I really get it now, why Navin has been named Entrepreneur of the Year by E&Y! And sits on the board of Singularity University! Great example for you to model +Tom, as you too have a love to learn & be curious about doing good in this world!! This is the mindset we need here in South Africa, to shake things up, & unleash the awesome potential of our people in our beautiful country, to be completely self-reliant, making things better than we found it!! Epic epic epic!!!... Impactful :-)

[@ParshavShah1995]

Thanks to taking interview of "MOST POWERFULL MAN OF THE WORLD" Got Amazing Knowledge from your interview. Thank You So much to You and Navin Sir.

[@joel-oquendo]

Oh man Naveen just called out all the activists! Now there's a man who is too busy taking real action to actually create change in the world. If only more people could think this way!

[@amcieply]

My all-time favorite guest from Inside Quest! And this interview is even better. "Entrepreneurs never fail." Love it. I'm always moving forward with that quote in mind. As long as you're trying to solve problems, you're on the right track. And when you hit roadblocks, just pivot and keep moving.

[@amerok3]

I loved his humility, kindness and boldness. I also appreciated to see how he thinks. Very inspiring, I'm looking forward to meet him in real life. Thanks a lot, Tom and the team! This is definitely an episode I'm going to watch again.

[@MulberryHouseHongKong]

Love Mr Jain. This is probably the best interview I have watched ever, out of the thousand other interviews I watches a month, maybe Simon Sinek as well, but Mr Jain is just awseome. I have taken 3 pages of notes watching the last 10 minutes. LOVE!

[@Harrisstylemaf]

Tom Impact Theory is constantly shifting my perception of the word potential. I am grateful to you and your team.

[@myassessmentadres1349]

Do you actually, check things out. Take your time to figure everything out...........what they say and do ?

[@angelinapenkova]

With every new episode that your release, I am thinking "this is the best episode ever". Today, though... my jaw literally dropped. Mind blowing character. Speakers like Naveen need at least 2 more episodes - he has so much to share. Amazing value.

[@m1ndcrtl]

Tom, I feel like every new episode I watch I tremendously improve my mindset and reshape my view of the world. I don't know what to say about Naveen. Just an outstanding human being. Will write him for sure.

[@stefanpr4]

I love that! " You know you are successful when you become humble" !!! Wow! and Find something you are willing to die for it. and that's where most people fail they are willing to die for it but they not willing to live for it!

[@richspizzaparty]

Naveen Jain + David Goggins = Unbeatable Mindset

[@petermotee6122]

OMG! I've been subscribed to Impact Theory for a couple of months now and I must say this interview in particular is potently amazing! The way Tom keeps asking the right questions to verify and validate the responses Mr. Jain is giving is very enlightening. I will definitely be incorporating the advice he gave. Keep up the amazing work Impact Theory. (#1 fan in Trinidad)

Totally worth getting up from my bed at 2AM and watch it as I "course correct" the trajectory of my life. Thanks Tom and Naveen on sharing your conversation!

[@dundascreates]

Really powerful interview. This was literally one of my IT favorites. Thanks!

[@wally993]

Naveen was awesome. His passion and enthusiasm is incredible. He really is an inspiring person. He makes me feel lazy. I understand people say money isn't that important, but I must say when your drowning in debt, money is an issue. It took me a few years, but I hit Rock bottom at the end of 2016 and now I'm working and sacrificing to get back on top. When I return to the states next year, I'm going to be leveraging my time to find a dream, and then chase it. Being able to use all the examples of people doing that on Impact Theory, along with all the educational and inspirational nuggets on here are a great help. Thank you!

[@VashumEndeavor]

This is in fact one of the best speeches I have ever watch. Thank you Tom for your wonderful initiation to bring about life Changing program over here. And thanking Sir Naveen Jain for wonderful thought which I never realised before. Hopefully, we can create a better world by solving social problems.

This guy leaves my jaw on the floor every time. He's so inspirational. I keep thinking, "I can't believe Steve Bannon wants to deport him!" ... about as smart as chasing Eisenstein out of Europe.

I need nothing for myself now, except health. I want to make better, create more opportunities for some people I know, who are struggling. I want to give some comfort and better food and medicines to my maid who use to be with me about 30 years ago. Her daughter, Saraswati, is a fine girl. She has married a farmer and has 2 lovely twin girls. I was happy to pay for them in an English school in Mysore. I paid for the first year. Mostly I have been helping families like this, expressing my desire that they should also put in an effort.

[@joserivasreyes4708]

Whoa! I just stepped into a time machine that syncrhonistically and simultaneously, had helped me piece all knowledge, interests, and conscious awareness of all the knowledge and wisdom I already contain that I have been gathering throughout the years- Only to come back full circle to conclude that I can definitely achieve and should pursue my most ambitious and craziest and certainly achievable as well as possible goal! I swear that throughout the entire duration of this video- he was practically resonating and affirming and confirming and reaffirming everything that I have been thinking to myself mentally (even quoting a Tupac chorus snippet in my head!) earlier this morning of this day- somehow in some way come to know and learn about, to then build an interest and passion on the topics, and interests and causes or business projects that most matter- and are important to me! I can't wait to share this video in the near future!

[@jessicaalgeciras2428]

Hi, I'm from Colombia, and watching this kind of content makes me feel so hopeless...gives me the motivation to work to find the way to impact lifes specially the kids life...I wonder if kids could grow up watching this content in social media instead of watching other life's...it would impact the way we think and of course it could change the future!

I'm sorry your impression of our commander and chief is boastful. Please remember he was campaigning when he stated his wealth. This information was important so the voters could be assured he is not being influenced by lobbyists . I like to believe he is a good and generous man who doesn't brag about his donations and help he has given generously. I am saddened that this show has taken a political stance . I love to watch this show to learn about science and improve my mind. I lost interest when these comments were all made. I'm sure everyone else who likes our leader we're also offended.
