1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,840
All right, so again, we're gonna do a deep dive into the week of a CEO of a hundred million

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:13,520
dollar company. Okay. Laila Hormozi. She's the CEO of acquisition.com. She vlogged her entire week

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,920
and we're taking a look. Interesting. To see what we can learn from her. Yeah, it's fascinating

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,520
because you rarely get this kind of unfiltered look into the life of a CEO. Right. Especially

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,120
someone who's built a company like this. Yeah, it's not the usual polished social media stuff,

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:36,400
right? Right. Like, we're talking real life problems, tough decisions. Yeah. The kind of hustle

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,480
that most people wouldn't believe. I can imagine. So are you ready to see what it takes to build a

8
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,600
billion dollar business? Absolutely. Let's dive in. First of all, let's talk about commitment. Okay.

9
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:52,480
This woman's alarm goes off at 4.0 a.m. Whoa. And it's not for a leisurely yoga session.

10
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,080
Uh-huh. She's up working out and then straight into five hours of meetings. Wow. That's some

11
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,840
serious dedication. It's definitely not a typical nine to five. Right. But, you know, it makes you

12
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,640
think, right? What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals? Right. Like, how much are

13
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,280
you willing to push yourself? Yeah. And here's the thing. Even with that insane schedule,

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Layla doesn't try to be perfect. Oh, interesting. She even jokes about rocking the, uh,

15
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,680
Who what? Make it mole rat look. Uh-huh. Some mornings, you know, prioritizing her team and

16
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,800
her work over spending hours on makeup. Yeah. I think that's a powerful message,

17
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,960
especially for women in leadership. Absolutely. There's so much pressure to do it all,

18
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,080
to look perfect, to have it all together. Right. But, you know, Layla is showing us that it's okay

19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,960
to prioritize. Yeah. And sometimes that means letting go of the need to be perfectly polished

20
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:50,400
all the time. Yeah. You know, I think a lot of people, myself included, could learn from that.

21
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,040
Okay. So picture this. Yeah. You're leading a company that's growing rapidly.

22
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Things are moving fast. New people are joining all the time. Okay. And suddenly,

23
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,160
communication starts to become a major headache. Oh, yeah. That's a classic scaling problem.

24
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,560
Right. Those informal channels that worked when the team was small just don't cut it anymore.

25
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,600
Exactly. And that's exactly what Layla is facing. Makes sense. She even compares it to a friend group

26
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,240
that keeps growing. Oh, that's a good analogy. Yeah. Yeah. More people mean more potential for

27
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,600
misunderstandings, miscommunication, and things just generally getting lost in the shuffle.

28
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,400
Yeah. It's like a game of telephone. Yeah. But with high stakes. Exactly. And here's how she

29
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,480
tackles it. Okay. Instead of ignoring the problem or blaming individuals. Right. She brings it up

30
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,480
with her team acknowledging that it's a challenge they need to face together.

31
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,720
That's smart by acknowledging the issue openly. She's creating a space for people to speak up.

32
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Right. Share their experiences and work together to find solutions. Right. It also sets a tone of

33
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,880
transparency and collaboration. Yeah. Which is crucial for navigating these kinds of growing

34
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,240
pains. She uses a really interesting analogy too. Oh, yeah. What's that? Comparing herself to the

35
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,400
parent of her team. Hmm. I like that analogy. Yeah. It suggests a supportive, nurturing leadership

36
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,840
style. But not one that shies away from tough conversations or setting clear expectations.

37
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Right. It's about guiding the team through the inevitable bumps and bruises of growth.

38
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,520
Hmm. Not trying to shield them from every challenge. Right. And that ties into another

39
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,880
important point she makes about transparency. Okay. Especially when it comes to her own emotions.

40
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,160
So she admits to feeling tired, frustrated, even angry at times. I can imagine.

41
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,600
But she emphasizes that acknowledging those feelings doesn't mean letting them control her

42
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,840
actions. That's emotional intelligence in action. Right. Being aware of your emotions and how they

43
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,560
might impact your decisions. Yeah. But not letting them derail you from your goals. And it's something

44
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280
that a lot of leaders struggle with. Right. Absolutely. There's this pressure to always be on, to never

45
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,960
show weakness. Yeah. You got to always have it all together. Yeah. But Lail is showing us that

46
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,680
it's okay to be human, to have those moments of vulnerability as long as you don't let them define

47
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,240
you. Exactly. It's about finding that balance between authenticity and professionalism. Right.

48
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Between being real and still maintaining that leadership presence. Another thing I found

49
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,480
refreshing was her honesty about her work ethic and lifestyle. Okay. She flytow says it's not for

50
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,600
everyone. Yeah. And that's okay. That's a powerful message, especially in a culture that often

51
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,280
glorifies hustle and sacrifice at all costs. Right. You know, Laila is saying, Hey, this works for me,

52
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,080
but it might not work for you. Yeah. And that's perfectly fine. Right. It's about defining your

53
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,120
own version of success and not trying to fit into someone else's mold. Yeah. You know, I think a lot

54
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,520
of people struggle with that, especially those early in their careers. Totally. It's easy to get caught

55
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,680
up in comparing yourself to others and feeling like you need to replicate their path to be successful.

56
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Absolutely. But Laila is reminding us that there's no one size fits all approach. Right. It's about

57
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,120
knowing yourself, your values and what you're willing to prioritize. And she really walks the talk,

58
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,960
doesn't she? Oh, for sure. She's incredibly open about her past mistakes, even sharing a story

59
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,720
about getting arrested. Wow. That level of transparency is rare. Yeah, it is. Especially

60
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,840
for someone in her position. But it's also incredibly powerful. For sure. By owning her past,

61
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,280
both the good and the bad, she's showing us that mistakes are part of the journey. Right. It's about

62
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,400
how you learn from them and move forward that matters. And that you're human. Right. Yeah. It

63
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,280
also creates a sense of authenticity and relatability. Yeah. Definitely. She's not pretending to be

64
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,000
perfect. Right. She's acknowledging that she's human just like everyone else. Exactly. And that

65
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
makes her message even more impactful. It's about embracing those imperfections and seeing them as

66
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,520
opportunities for growth, not reasons to hide or feel ashamed. Now, let's talk about how Laila

67
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,880
handles mistakes within her team. Okay. She's got a unique approach. And it really ties into her

68
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,760
leadership philosophy. Interesting. So she's a big believer in focusing on solutions rather than

69
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,480
dwelling on the problem. Okay. She even brings up the 80-20 principle. Oh, yeah. Which essentially

70
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,600
says that 80% of the results come from 20% of the causes. So instead of getting bogged down

71
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,600
to the details of who messed up or why, she encourages her team to identify the root cause

72
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,120
of the problem and address that directly. It's a proactive approach to problem solving. Yes.

73
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,400
And it's much more effective in the long run than simply putting out fires or blaming individuals.

74
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:41,360
And it all ties back to her company's core value of excellence. She truly embodies this value in

75
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,640
everything she does, from interacting with her team to handling challenging situations. It's

76
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,280
not just a buzzword for her. It's a way of life. Exactly. And it's reflected in the smallest of

77
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,840
actions, like refilling the coffee machine when it's empty or taking the time to acknowledge

78
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,280
her team's efforts. Even when things get hectic. Yeah, those little things matter. They do. They

79
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:07,200
create a ripple effect, fostering a positive and supportive work environment where people feel

80
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,800
appreciated and motivated to do their best. And it's not just about creating a feel-good atmosphere.

81
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,240
It directly impacts the company's bottom line. Of course. When people feel valued and respected,

82
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,920
they're more likely to be engaged, productive and innovative. Absolutely. It's a win-win situation.

83
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Right. And it all starts with the leader setting the example. Which is exactly what Layla does.

84
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,960
She leads by example, embodying the values she wants to see in her team. That's far more powerful

85
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,880
than simply talking about values. Yes. It's about walking the walk day in and day out.

86
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,120
Right. And it's something that anyone, regardless of their position or title, can do.

87
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,280
Okay. We've seen the hustle, the vulnerability, the commitment to excellence. But what about

88
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,880
the strategic side of things? Yeah. What does Layla see as her primary role as CEO?

89
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,760
I'm curious to see this. She's very clear about this. Okay. She sees herself as the company's chief

90
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,880
problem solver. Interesting. Her job is to identify the biggest challenges facing the company.

91
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,480
Okay. And then guide her team toward finding solutions. I see. So she's not just managing.

92
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,880
She's actually strategizing. And this is where her experience and unique perspective really come

93
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,760
into play. Yeah. She's been through the trenches of building businesses before. So she has that

94
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,240
intuition for what's truly important and what needs to be addressed. Got it. It's about understanding

95
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,080
the bigger picture. Right. Anticipating potential roadblocks. Yeah. And making those tough decisions

96
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,200
that will ultimately drive the company forward. That's leadership. It's not just about managing

97
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,880
day-to-day operations. It's about setting the strategic direction. Right. Navigating the

98
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,080
complexities of rapidly growing company. Yeah. And ensuring that everyone is aligned on the same

99
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,480
goals. And this ability to adapt is another key theme that emerges from Layla's week. Oh, yeah.

100
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,760
Yeah. She talks about adjusting her communication style depending on the audience, meeting people

101
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,560
where they are. Which is such a critical skill for any leader, wouldn't you say? Absolutely.

102
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:11,760
It's about recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to communication. Yeah. You have to

103
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,200
be flexible, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of the people you're leading. And that ties

104
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,240
back to the concept of transparency and creating a psychologically safe environment. Right. Layla

105
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,760
believes that by being open and honest with her team, she creates a sense of safety that allows

106
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:34,240
them to perform at their best. So they're not afraid to take risks, share ideas, or admit when

107
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,960
they've made a mistake. Right. They know that they'll be supported, not punished. Which is essential

108
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,000
for fostering creativity and innovation. Yes. When people feel safe, they're more likely to take

109
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,560
those risks that lead to breakthroughs. And that's what drives growth and success in the long run.

110
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Absolutely. And it's not just about achieving short-term goals. It's about creating a lasting

111
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,240
impact. Layla talks about her desire to create a positive ripple effect. Yeah. Inspiring her team

112
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,840
members to become better leaders themselves. It's about paying it forward, fostering a culture of

113
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,040
continuous improvement, and ultimately leaving a legacy that extends far beyond the walls of her

114
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,000
company. That's a powerful aspiration. It is. It's about recognizing that leadership is not just a

115
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000
position. Right. It's a responsibility to empower others and make a positive difference in the world.

116
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,160
And you can see that playing out in the vlog. There's a scene where she's mentoring an employee

117
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,760
who's struggling with hiring and delegating. Yeah. She even admits to making similar mistakes early on.

118
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,720
I love that she doesn't shy away from sharing her own struggles. Right. It makes her advice

119
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,680
so much more relatable and genuine. It's that vulnerability that really sets her apart. Yeah.

120
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:47,280
She's not afraid to say, hey, I've been there. It's tough, but you can figure it out. Yeah. It

121
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,560
creates a sense of trust and encourages people to open up and ask for help when they need it.

122
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,800
And that's such a crucial part of building a strong team, isn't it? Oh, absolutely. Creating a

123
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,240
culture where people feel comfortable admitting their weaknesses and asking for support. It's

124
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,040
the opposite of that fake it till you make it mentality. That can be so toxic in some work

125
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,960
environments. Yeah. Layla's showing us that it's okay to not have all the answers to be a work in

126
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,960
progress. Speaking of work in progress. Yeah. I was struck by how grounded she seems despite all

127
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,560
her success. Yeah. It would be easy to let it go to your head. I know. But she doesn't. I think that

128
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,080
speaks volumes about her character and her values. Yeah. She seems very clear about what's truly

129
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:36,640
important to her relationships, her team, the impact she's making. She's not defined by external

130
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,640
validation or material possessions. I remember when she talks about taking off her bra and makeup

131
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,720
at the end of the day. Yeah. And how that's one of the best parts of her day. Uh-huh. It's a simple

132
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,480
thing, but it shows that she's human just like everyone else. Exactly. She's not putting on a

133
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,560
show or trying to be someone she's not. Right. She's comfortable in her own skin and that authenticity

134
00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:00,080
shines through in everything she does. And it's a powerful reminder that success doesn't have to

135
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,520
come at the expense of your well-being or your sense of self. Right. You can be ambitious and

136
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,720
driven without sacrificing your personal life or your sanity. Another thing that impressed me was

137
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,240
how she handles criticism. She gets negative comments online like anyone with a public profile.

138
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Of course. But she doesn't let it get to her. She seems to have a really healthy perspective on it.

139
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,280
She understands that you can't please everyone. Right. And she's not going to let the negativity

140
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:33,040
of a few detract from the positive impact she's making. She even says that she doesn't let those

141
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,760
comments deter her from being transparent. Wow. It's almost like she sees honesty and openness

142
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,160
as a shield against negativity. That's an interesting way to look at it. Yeah. And I think it

143
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,520
goes back to that concept of psychological safety we talked about earlier. By being open and vulnerable,

144
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,520
she's creating a space where others feel safe to do the same. Right. And when people feel safe,

145
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,160
they're less likely to be affected by external negativity. It's like she's building a culture

146
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,720
of resilience both for herself and her team. Exactly. They're in it together, facing the

147
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:11,120
challenges and celebrating the wins as a united front. Layla also talks about having to prioritize

148
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,000
and delegate tasks, acknowledging that she can't do everything herself. That's such a crucial

149
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,280
lesson for any leader. Yeah. It's about recognizing your limitations, building a strong team,

150
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,000
and trusting others to do their jobs effectively. It's easy to fall under the trap of thinking you

151
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,320
have to do everything yourself, especially when you're passionate about your work. Right. But

152
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,560
that's a recipe for burnout. Yeah. And ultimately, it limits your impact. By delegating effectively,

153
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:42,880
Layla frees up her time and energy to focus on the things that only she can do, like setting the

154
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,680
strategic direction for the company and tackling those big picture challenges. So it's about working

155
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:53,440
smarter, not harder. Exactly. Okay. Okay. So we've talked about her leadership style, her values,

156
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,120
her approach to problem solving. But what does her actual workweek look like? Yeah. What does she

157
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,720
actually do all day? I'm curious. Well, one thing's for sure. It's not a typical nine to five. Okay.

158
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,680
We see her working late into the evening, prepping for meetings, and constantly juggling multiple

159
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,960
priorities. It's a glimpse into the demanding reality of running a high growth company. Right.

160
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:20,560
There's always something that needs attention. And she's incredibly hands on. Oh, really? We see

161
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,520
her in meetings with different teams, diving into the specifics of marketing campaigns,

162
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,760
product development, you name it. It's not just about sitting in an ivory tower and giving orders.

163
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,320
No. She's actively involved in every aspect of the business. There's a scene where she's talking

164
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:42,000
about having to create separate quarterly meetings for different teams. Wow. Because each department

165
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,960
has its own unique set of goals and challenges. That shows a deep understanding of the need for

166
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,160
tailored communication and leadership approaches. Right. You can't just apply a one size fits all

167
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:58,960
strategy to every situation. And it highlights the importance of empowering others to lead

168
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:04,000
within their areas of expertise. She's not a micro manager. Right. She trusts her team to make

169
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,120
decisions and take ownership. And that trust is clearly reciprocated. Yeah. You can see the

170
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,800
respect and admiration and the way her team interacts with her. I also noticed that she

171
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,680
makes time for mentoring her team members. That's nice. She's not just focused on the bottom line.

172
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,400
She's genuinely invested in their growth and development. That's the mark of a true leader.

173
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Yeah. Someone who sees their role as more than just achieving business goals. It's about creating

174
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,960
a positive ripple effect, inspiring others to step into their own leadership potential.

175
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,480
It's about building something bigger than yourself, creating a legacy that extends far

176
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,840
beyond your own accomplishments. Layla's Week is a whirlwind of activity meetings, problem

177
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,240
solving, mentoring, strategic planning. It is. But what's striking is her ability to stay grounded

178
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,680
amidst all the chaos. She never loses sight of what's truly important. Right. And that's incredibly

179
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,040
inspiring. She's a reminder that you can achieve incredible things without sacrificing your values

180
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,840
or your humanity. We've talked about how she emphasizes adaptability and being responsive

181
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,960
to change. Right. The business landscape is constantly shifting and leaders need to be able

182
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,000
to pivot and adjust their strategies accordingly. And Layla doesn't shy away from trying new things

183
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,520
even if they don't always work out perfectly. Yeah. Remember when she talks about a marketing

184
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,720
campaign that flopped? Oh, yeah. She embraces those setbacks as opportunities to learn and

185
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,160
improve. It's a growth mindset in action. And she encourages that same mindset within her team.

186
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Okay. She's created a culture where it's safe to take risks and innovate, knowing that failure is

187
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,320
just part of the process. And that's essential for staying ahead of the curve in any industry.

188
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:47,120
We see her constantly challenging her team to think outside the box, come up with new ideas,

189
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,440
and push the boundaries of what's possible. It's a true innovator. And she's right there with them

190
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,000
rolling up her sleeves and getting involved in the execution. It's not just about delegating and

191
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,840
giving orders. Right. It's about working side by side with your team, sharing the challenges and the

192
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,200
triumphs. That creates a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose that's incredibly powerful.

193
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,640
Absolutely. You can really feel that energy and enthusiasm throughout the vlog. Yeah.

194
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,200
It's contagious. And it's a testament to the kind of culture Layla has cultivated,

195
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,320
one that values hard work, innovation, and mutual respect. I think what's so compelling about Layla's

196
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,400
story is that it's not just about business success. Right. It's about living a life that's aligned

197
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:35,040
with your values, making a positive impact on the world, and inspiring others to do the same.

198
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,160
It's a reminder that leadership is not just about achieving external goals. Right. It's about being

199
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,600
the best version of yourself and empowering others to do the same. So it's been quite a journey,

200
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,000
hasn't it? It has. We've unpacked Layla's week from those early morning workouts to the late

201
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,000
night strategizing. What stands out to you as the most impactful takeaway from her story?

202
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:03,120
I think for me, it's her unwavering commitment to transparency and authenticity. Yeah. It's so

203
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:08,800
rare to see a leader, especially at her level, be so open and vulnerable. And it's not just about

204
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,120
being relatable, although that's definitely a part of it. There's a strategic element to it as well.

205
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:19,200
Right. By being transparent, she builds trust with her team, creates a psychologically safe

206
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,720
environment where people feel comfortable taking risks, and ultimately drives better business

207
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:30,560
outcomes. It's like she's proving that vulnerability isn't a weakness. It's actually a strength.

208
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,640
Totally. It takes a lot of courage to be that open, especially when you're in the public eye.

209
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Absolutely. And I think it's something that we can all learn from regardless of our position or

210
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:45,600
industry, right? Being authentic, admitting our mistakes, asking for help when we need it.

211
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,320
These are all things that can make us more effective leaders and better human beings.

212
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,240
So as we wrap up this deep dive into Layla's week, I want to leave you with this thought.

213
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Okay. What can you take away from her story and apply to your own life?

214
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,760
Ooh, that's a good question. Maybe it's about prioritizing your well-being,

215
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:11,440
even when you're facing intense demands. Or perhaps it's about being more transparent with your team

216
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,120
and creating a culture of psychological safety. Or maybe it's about embracing failure as a learning

217
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,480
opportunity and having the courage to try new things.

218
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,000
Whatever it is, remember that leadership is a journey, not a destination. We're all constantly

219
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,080
learning and evolving. And sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the most unexpected

220
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,480
places, like a vlog of a hundred million dollars CEO. Exactly. So keep diving deep,

221
00:19:36,480 --> 00:20:01,600
keep challenging yourself, and keep striving for excellence. Until next time.
