1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,480
Right, so today we're going deep on Alex Hormose.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,320
You know the guy who went from sleeping on a gym floor

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,480
to like a multi-million dollar business empire?

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,280
It's pretty wild.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,000
It is.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,720
And we've got this awesome interview of his to break down.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,440
Where he like really pulls back the curtain on how he built everything.

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,240
It's uh...

9
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,800
I think there's gonna be a lot of good stuff to unpack.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,520
Absolutely.

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,600
I think people are gonna want to be taking notes on this one.

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Yeah, for sure.

13
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,160
Um, what I found so compelling about Hormose's story, right,

14
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:32,720
Okay.

15
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,800
is that he's like super open about the struggles.

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,440
The challenges, the setbacks, like all the times he doubted himself.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,400
Yeah, he's not.

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,480
Which I think makes it that much more...

19
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,760
He doesn't sugarcoat it.

20
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,000
Right.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,200
He doesn't try to like pretend it was this easy pass, you know, like a lot of people do.

22
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,520
Which makes it I think even more inspiring.

23
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,880
Makes it more relatable too.

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,600
Yeah, definitely.

25
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
It's not just some like get rich quick thing.

26
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,160
Yeah.

27
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,760
He's giving you the real deal.

28
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,760
The real, the nitty gritty.

29
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:03,920
Yeah.

30
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920
And I think that's what makes it valuable.

31
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,320
Exactly.

32
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,840
All right, so let's go back to the beginning.

33
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Like the early days.

34
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,680
Yeah.

35
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,160
So Hormose is like working this cushy corporate job.

36
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,760
Yeah, that a lot of people would be like...

37
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,400
Right.

38
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Oh man, I wish I had that job.

39
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:19,680
Like sign me up.

40
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,400
Comfortable and stable.

41
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,080
So there's totally miserable.

42
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,840
It's such a good illustration.

43
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,400
Yeah.

44
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,880
That like sometimes that safe path, you know, the thing that looks good on paper.

45
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,280
Right.

46
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,480
Can actually be like the most soul crushing.

47
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:36,960
Totally.

48
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,400
Like he even said that like he would wake up every day hoping he wouldn't.

49
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,280
Oh wow.

50
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,040
Yeah, that's how much he hated it.

51
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Talk about a wake up call, right?

52
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,520
It is, it's huge.

53
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,360
I mean, do you think that kind of desperation though?

54
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Absolutely.

55
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Can be like a powerful motivator.

56
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,680
Yeah.

57
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Almost more so than like having some super clear vision of what you want to do.

58
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:58,880
For sure.

59
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,000
Like when you're that miserable.

60
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Well, that's absolutely.

61
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,040
You're going to do anything to get out of it.

62
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,440
You see that theme throughout his story too, right?

63
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Like it wasn't some like grand vision of being an entrepreneur.

64
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,120
Right.

65
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,400
It was the pain of staying stuck.

66
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Oh yeah.

67
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,680
In a life that like just felt completely wrong.

68
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:16,960
I love that.

69
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,520
All right, so.

70
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,400
That's really a power.

71
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,000
So he finally decides, okay.

72
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Yeah.

73
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,080
I'm quitting this job.

74
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,200
I'm going to open a gym.

75
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,200
Bold move.

76
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:25,520
Right.

77
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,600
I mean, not the easiest business in the world.

78
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,240
What?

79
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,520
But here's the thing.

80
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Here's the kicker.

81
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,320
His dad's totally against it.

82
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Total.

83
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,680
And it like really caused a rift in their relationship.

84
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Yeah.

85
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,920
This is where I think things get super interesting.

86
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Like he talks about how he essentially had to like accept that he was going to be

87
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,400
dead in his father's eyes.

88
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:48,640
Wow.

89
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,080
To pursue his dream.

90
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,120
That's powerful.

91
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,200
It's about like choosing your own path.

92
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Even when it means going against like what everyone expects of you.

93
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,760
It's like those expectations societal or family or whatever can be so heavy.

94
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Yeah.

95
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Have you ever felt that pull?

96
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Oh, totally.

97
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,360
Between like what you're supposed to do.

98
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520
It's a constant tension I think for a lot of us.

99
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,960
And what you actually want to do.

100
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,680
Absolutely.

101
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,200
And it's hard to break free from that.

102
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Yeah.

103
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,600
And it really highlights the courage.

104
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:17,920
Yeah.

105
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,120
To kind of just say like.

106
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Yeah.

107
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Forget it.

108
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,000
I'm going my own way.

109
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,400
Yeah.

110
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,360
This is my life.

111
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,200
And for him that path it led him to entrepreneurship which was.

112
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,080
Not exactly a walk in the park.

113
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,480
No.

114
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Not at all.

115
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Yeah.

116
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,600
Yeah.

117
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,800
So the early years of his journey are like a roller coaster.

118
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Total roller coaster.

119
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Ups and downs.

120
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Right.

121
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Financial setbacks.

122
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Financial setbacks.

123
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,640
Partnership troubles.

124
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,520
Partnership troubles.

125
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,000
Oh yeah.

126
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,440
The whole nine yards.

127
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Yeah.

128
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,520
But there's this one constant.

129
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Yeah.

130
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,240
And through it all.

131
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Yeah.

132
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,480
His wife Lillia.

133
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,280
His wife Lillia.

134
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Yeah.

135
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,440
She's amazing.

136
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,000
She is.

137
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Like her belief in him is such a testament to the power of like partnership.

138
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,920
And she doesn't just like support him emotionally.

139
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
She was actively involved in the business.

140
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Yeah.

141
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,680
She was in the trenches with him.

142
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Yeah.

143
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Pushing him to keep going.

144
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Remember that story about her saying she'd sleep under a bridge with him.

145
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Yeah.

146
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Like if that's what it takes.

147
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,160
Yeah.

148
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,520
That's commitment.

149
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,400
It's a relationship goals right there.

150
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,040
For sure.

151
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,640
It makes you realize like having the right people in your corner.

152
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Yeah.

153
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,320
It makes all the difference.

154
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,120
Makes all the difference.

155
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Especially when you're tackling something.

156
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Like building a business from scratch.

157
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,200
It's huge.

158
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,480
It's about having someone who not only believes in like your vision.

159
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,520
But believes in you.

160
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,160
Yes.

161
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,840
And your ability to achieve it.

162
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:42,480
I love that.

163
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,480
It's about having that rock solid support system.

164
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Okay.

165
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,200
You know to weather the storms.

166
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760
So how did he actually start turning things around.

167
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,080
Yeah.

168
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,600
Like going from sleeping on a gym floor to building this empire.

169
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Right.

170
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,920
That's a pretty big leap.

171
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,400
Well that's where his business sat he really comes in.

172
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Okay.

173
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,000
So he talks a lot about crafting what he calls irresistible offers.

174
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Okay.

175
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440
And he describes them as like the terms of exchange.

176
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Okay.

177
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,040
That determine whether like a customer picks you or someone else.

178
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,720
I mean that sounds simple enough.

179
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Yeah.

180
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,040
But I bet there's more to it than like.

181
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:19,840
Well I need CI.

182
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:20,800
It's a whole framework.

183
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Okay.

184
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
He actually breaks it down into four key elements.

185
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:23,600
All right.

186
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Lay it on me.

187
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:31,200
So the first one is you need to increase the perceived likelihood of achievement.

188
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,120
And so like think of it as painting a really vivid picture.

189
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Okay.

190
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Of the desired outcome.

191
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,840
Mm-hmm.

192
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,680
And making the customer believe they can actually get there.

193
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Okay.

194
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,600
So you're building that confidence.

195
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Building confidence.

196
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Building trust.

197
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,600
You're like showing them that it's actually attainable.

198
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,400
Absolutely.

199
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Okay.

200
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,360
What's next.

201
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,600
All right.

202
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,360
The second one is you need to minimize the time delay.

203
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,160
Okay.

204
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,280
So the faster they can get the results they want.

205
00:05:59,280 --> 00:05:59,840
Mm-hmm.

206
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,240
The more valuable your offer becomes.

207
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,480
Right.

208
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Like instant gratification is always going to be more appealing than.

209
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:05,360
Yeah.

210
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,160
Who wants to wait.

211
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,480
Right.

212
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Nobody wants to wait.

213
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,520
Well the.

214
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Okay.

215
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,040
So that makes sense.

216
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,520
What else.

217
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:09,760
All right.

218
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480
Number three is speed of achievement.

219
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:12,720
Okay.

220
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,520
So you need to highlight how quickly they can achieve those results once they like.

221
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:19,680
Okay.

222
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Start using your product or your service.

223
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,480
I got it.

224
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800
So it's like showcasing those quick wins to prove.

225
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,040
Yes.

226
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,240
It actually delivers fast.

227
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:26,720
Exactly.

228
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,680
What about the last one.

229
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Okay.

230
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,640
Last one is you need to minimize.

231
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Okay.

232
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,680
The effort and sacrifice required.

233
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:34,720
Right.

234
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,240
So the easier you make it for the customer to get what they want.

235
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:38,400
Yeah.

236
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,920
The better your offer is going to be.

237
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Right.

238
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,480
Because people always want the path of least resistance.

239
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Absolutely.

240
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Nobody wants to do more work than they have to.

241
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,280
And this is where he brings up that like amazing example.

242
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:49,760
Yeah.

243
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,760
Of the limited edition Harry Potter books.

244
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:51,840
Yeah.

245
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,360
The limited edition Harry Potter books.

246
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Which I mean.

247
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:54,880
Brilliant.

248
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Yeah.

249
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Because they fly off the shelves.

250
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Not because the content is different.

251
00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,200
Right.

252
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,160
It's the same book.

253
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,200
It's the same book.

254
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Just a different cover.

255
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Yeah.

256
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,240
But it's because of that scarcity and urgency.

257
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Right.

258
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Elmo.

259
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,640
It's fear of missing out.

260
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,040
It is.

261
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,600
Yeah.

262
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Like people are willing to pay a premium.

263
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600
For something that feels exclusive.

264
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:15,840
Yeah.

265
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,160
I mean everybody's been a victim of that at some point.

266
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,800
Totally.

267
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Or beneficiary I guess.

268
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,800
That's right.

269
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,520
If you're selling it.

270
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,160
Mm-hmm.

271
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Okay.

272
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,360
So how did he actually put these principles to work in his business.

273
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,560
So he had this major aha moment.

274
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,040
Okay.

275
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,600
When he shifted his business model.

276
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,920
From owning a bunch of gyms.

277
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,720
Okay.

278
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720
To licensing his system.

279
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,840
So instead of trying to manage like all the complexities of running multiple gyms.

280
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Right.

281
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,680
He focused on.

282
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,080
Yeah.

283
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Packaging his knowledge and expertise.

284
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Into a system others could replicate.

285
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600
So he's not just selling gym memberships anymore.

286
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Right.

287
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,800
He's selling a system.

288
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,800
He's selling a proven system for success.

289
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Oh that's smart.

290
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,960
It was a game changer for him.

291
00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,760
I mean it was like.

292
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,200
He realized.

293
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,280
Mm-hmm.

294
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,200
That the real value he was offering wasn't the gym itself.

295
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Right.

296
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,280
It was the knowledge.

297
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,480
The expertise.

298
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,280
Mm-hmm.

299
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,680
That allowed others to get those same results.

300
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Yeah.

301
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,120
And that's such a valuable lesson I think for anyone.

302
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,760
Yeah.

303
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,800
Building a business or even just you know in their careers.

304
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Mm-hmm.

305
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Sometimes the most valuable thing you have is like the knowledge in your head.

306
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,440
It's true.

307
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,680
Okay.

308
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,080
So he's got this irresistible offer.

309
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Yeah.

310
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,200
But how does he go from like.

311
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Yeah.

312
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Running one gym.

313
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Right.

314
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,760
To building this empire.

315
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,880
That's a good question.

316
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,440
What was the key to that kind of growth.

317
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,480
Well that I think is where the concept of skill stacking comes in.

318
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Okay.

319
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
And I think this is going to be something super valuable for you.

320
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:45,200
All right.

321
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,080
I'm all yours.

322
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920
As you think about your own career.

323
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,960
You made the Rendo.

324
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Okay.

325
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,120
So imagine your skills are like tools.

326
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,440
Okay.

327
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,480
In a tool belt.

328
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,040
Got it.

329
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:55,680
Right.

330
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,000
So each new skill you add.

331
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Not only makes you more versatile.

332
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Mm-hmm.

333
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,480
But it can actually increase the value of your existing skills.

334
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Mm-hmm.

335
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,440
So take like writing for example.

336
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Okay.

337
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,960
You might be a great writer.

338
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,360
Yeah.

339
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,880
But if you add marketing skills to your tool belt.

340
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Mm-hmm.

341
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,680
Now you can promote your writing to a wider audience.

342
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:18,400
Yeah.

343
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240
You can reach more people.

344
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480
You can make more money potentially.

345
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Okay.

346
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,560
So it's not just about learning new things.

347
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:24,960
Right.

348
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,120
It's about learning the right things.

349
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Yeah.

350
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,560
Like strategically acquiring those skills that.

351
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,000
Compliment and enhance your existing expertise.

352
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Enhance and yeah build on each other.

353
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,720
Absolutely.

354
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,680
That's super interesting.

355
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:37,920
Okay.

356
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,360
And then he takes a step further.

357
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,600
Yeah.

358
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,440
And he talks about like finding the right market for your skill set.

359
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,160
The right market.

360
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Yeah.

361
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,680
So it's not just about being good at something.

362
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,080
Exactly.

363
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,960
It's about being good at something that's in demand.

364
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,440
Right.

365
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Where people are willing to pay for it.

366
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,840
For its value.

367
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
So like I don't know a chef who's a maid.

368
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080
But they're in some tiny town.

369
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,640
Yeah.

370
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,160
With like two restaurants.

371
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Right.

372
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,320
Their skills aren't going to be as valuable as if they were in like.

373
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,040
New York City.

374
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,760
York or something.

375
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:05,840
Yeah.

376
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Yeah.

377
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:06,560
Exactly.

378
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:07,280
Exactly.

379
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,960
He tells us great story about a father and son.

380
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,520
Oh yeah.

381
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,480
Selling a car.

382
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,560
And they go to like all these different places to sell it.

383
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:16,720
Yeah.

384
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,080
They get totally different offers.

385
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Totally different offers.

386
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:19,840
Right.

387
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Depending on who they're talking to.

388
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,560
So they talk to like a car enthusiast.

389
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:25,040
Mm-hmm.

390
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Who's willing to pay a premium.

391
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Right.

392
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Then they go to a used car dealer.

393
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Right.

394
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,080
Who just wants to.

395
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,240
Yeah.

396
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,200
Who just wants to resell it.

397
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,680
I like that.

398
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:32,000
Yeah.

399
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Yeah.

400
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,640
So the car hasn't changed.

401
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Nope.

402
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,360
But its perceived value.

403
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,080
Yeah.

404
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Changes dramatically.

405
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:39,920
Yeah.

406
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,200
Depending on who's looking at it.

407
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,480
So it's not just what you're selling but who you're selling it to.

408
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,280
Who values it.

409
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Who values it.

410
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Yeah.

411
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Yeah.

412
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,160
That's a really good point.

413
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Yeah.

414
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,200
It makes me wonder.

415
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,000
Yeah.

416
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,240
Like.

417
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,400
What about you?

418
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Yeah.

419
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,080
Am I playing in the right league?

420
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,200
Mm-hmm.

421
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Is there like a different market or different audience.

422
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:58,960
Yeah.

423
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,200
Where like what I do would be even more valued.

424
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,320
Is there a place where your talents would shine even brighter.

425
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Yeah.

426
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,440
I mean that's.

427
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,360
That's a good question.

428
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,840
It is.

429
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,080
It's like.

430
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,960
That's a good question.

431
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Something I'm going to have to think about.

432
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,040
Yeah.

433
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,480
Worth pondering for sure.

434
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Okay.

435
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,160
But let's shift gears a little bit.

436
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,400
Okay.

437
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,400
And talk about another one of his like key concepts.

438
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,120
All right.

439
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,320
Which is leverage.

440
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Leverage.

441
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360
Like he is all about maximizing.

442
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Oh yeah.

443
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Different types of leverage.

444
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:26,080
Yeah.

445
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,880
To achieve.

446
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,440
Like exponential growth.

447
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,520
It's like physics almost.

448
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Yeah.

449
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Well it kind of is right.

450
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:34,000
Yeah.

451
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,720
You think about it.

452
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,480
It's like it's a force multiplier.

453
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:36,880
It is.

454
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800
It's like amplifying your effort.

455
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,040
Yeah.

456
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,200
To get like a much bigger result.

457
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Okay.

458
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,800
And he actually breaks it down into four main types.

459
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,280
Which are.

460
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,800
Labor.

461
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,680
Media.

462
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,480
Capital.

463
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,600
And technology.

464
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:49,760
All right.

465
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,800
Let's break those down.

466
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,200
So what's the deal with labor leverage.

467
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Okay.

468
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Labor leverage is all about moving from working on your business.

469
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Okay.

470
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,440
To working on your business.

471
00:11:59,440 --> 00:11:59,680
Okay.

472
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:00,960
And what does that actually look like.

473
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,920
So think about it this way.

474
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,080
Like.

475
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,040
You start off doing everything yourself.

476
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,200
Right.

477
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,840
You're trading your time for money.

478
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:08,720
Okay.

479
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,120
And like.

480
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,520
I don't know.

481
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Like the lowest level.

482
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Like a freelancer.

483
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,400
Like a freelancer.

484
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Yeah.

485
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Like a freelancer.

486
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Like solopreneur.

487
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,560
Solopreneur who's wearing all the hat.

488
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:19,360
Like in all the things.

489
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Doing all the things.

490
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Yeah.

491
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,680
But then. As you grow.

492
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,240
You start to delegate.

493
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Right.

494
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,160
You start to hire people.

495
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,040
You build a team.

496
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,320
And so now you're leveraging other people's.

497
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Time and skills.

498
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,920
To multiply your output.

499
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560
It's not just you hustling 24 seven.

500
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:38,800
Anyway.

501
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,240
No. It's a team effort.

502
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360
You've got a team working towards that shared goal.

503
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,560
And that frees you up to.

504
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:46,080
Like actually be strategic.

505
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Absolutely.

506
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,680
It frees you up to.

507
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,000
Like.

508
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,840
To focus on those big picture things.

509
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Work on the business.

510
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Not in it.

511
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,640
Yeah. Exactly.

512
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040
But that's just one type of leverage.

513
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,320
Right. So what's next.

514
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,920
All right. So we've got media leverage.

515
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,720
OK.

516
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,480
Think about someone like. Joe Rogan.

517
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,040
OK.

518
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Right.

519
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,200
Huge podcast.

520
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Millions of followers.

521
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Able to like.

522
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,720
Reach this massive audience.

523
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Amplify his message.

524
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Like.

525
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,080
Way beyond.

526
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Yeah.

527
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Way beyond.

528
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Maybe you could do one on one.

529
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:16,320
Yeah.

530
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,680
Like using a megaphone.

531
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:17,840
Right.

532
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Totally.

533
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Instead of like.

534
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,080
Whispering in a corner.

535
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Whispering.

536
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:20,960
Exactly.

537
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,800
OK. All right. So that's media leverage.

538
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,200
What about capital leverage.

539
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,880
OK. Capital leverage.

540
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Is using other people's money.

541
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,760
To fuel your growth.

542
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Think about companies like.

543
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Right.

544
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,600
Like Facebook or Amazon.

545
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Mm hmm.

546
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,840
Like they didn't start with.

547
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,040
Billions of dollars.

548
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Right.

549
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,680
No.

550
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,360
They leveraged venture capital.

551
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120
They leveraged investments.

552
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,760
Mm hmm.

553
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,680
To like scale their businesses.

554
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:46,320
Mm hmm.

555
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,120
Way faster.

556
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,880
Much faster than they could have on their own.

557
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,520
Absolutely.

558
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,440
So it's like.

559
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,080
Finding those investors who believe in what you're doing.

560
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Who believe in you.

561
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Who believe in your vision.

562
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Yeah.

563
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,920
And are willing to like.

564
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,040
Put their money behind it.

565
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Almost like a partner in a way.

566
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,520
A financial partner.

567
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Totally.

568
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,240
OK.

569
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,560
And then the last one is technology leverage.

570
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:04,960
OK.

571
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,920
This one's all about using technology to.

572
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Like automate.

573
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Processes.

574
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:11,280
Mm hmm.

575
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,560
Increase efficiency.

576
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:13,280
Mm hmm.

577
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Scale your impact.

578
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Like think about.

579
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Yeah.

580
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Companies like Google.

581
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Or Microsoft.

582
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Right.

583
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Like they've built these incredibly powerful.

584
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Platforms.

585
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Mm hmm.

586
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,440
That reach like.

587
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Billions of people.

588
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240
It's like having an army of robots working for you 24 seven.

589
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,600
Yeah.

590
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,080
It is.

591
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,680
It's amazing what you can accomplish.

592
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Absolutely.

593
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,800
It's crazy.

594
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:34,960
Yeah.

595
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,800
When you use technology the right way.

596
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,760
It really is.

597
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,520
So I mean we've covered a lot.

598
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Yeah.

599
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,040
We have a lot of ground.

600
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,240
We talked about like.

601
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,240
Creating irresistible offers.

602
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Mm hmm.

603
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Skill stacking.

604
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,560
Mm hmm.

605
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,760
Finding the right market.

606
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Mm hmm.

607
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,160
Maximizing leverage.

608
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:50,720
It's a lot.

609
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,160
It's a lot to process.

610
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:52,800
But.

611
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,240
But there's one more piece of the puzzle.

612
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Oh.

613
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,240
That we haven't really touched on yet.

614
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,560
Okay.

615
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,280
I'm intrigued.

616
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,160
And it might be.

617
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Like the most important one.

618
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,160
Okay.

619
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Lay it on me.

620
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,040
Okay.

621
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,000
So.

622
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Hormozzi talks about.

623
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:04,640
Mm hmm.

624
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,040
What he calls the cost of information.

625
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Mm hmm.

626
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,320
And he says like.

627
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,040
Mm hmm.

628
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,600
The most expensive thing we pay for.

629
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Yeah.

630
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,760
Is the information we don't know.

631
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Mm hmm.

632
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,080
I've never thought about it that way.

633
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:16,560
Yeah.

634
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Like what do you.

635
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,720
What does he actually mean by that.

636
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,560
So think about it this way.

637
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Right.

638
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Like.

639
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,880
If you're not aware.

640
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,440
Yeah.

641
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,040
Of a certain strategy.

642
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,680
Mm hmm.

643
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Or a tool.

644
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Mm hmm.

645
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,400
Or like a market opportunity.

646
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Yeah.

647
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,200
You're essentially leaving money on the table.

648
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,240
Right.

649
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320
You're operating with like.

650
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Yeah.

651
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,440
A limited amount.

652
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,800
A limited amount of knowledge.

653
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Mm hmm.

654
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Which could be holding you back.

655
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,680
It's like trying to navigate a maze in the dark.

656
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,240
It is.

657
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,800
Exactly.

658
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,320
You're going to hit a lot of walls.

659
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:46,640
Yeah.

660
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,000
You might eventually get there.

661
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,200
You'll get there eventually.

662
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,120
But it's going to take you so much longer.

663
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,400
It's going to be a lot harder.

664
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Yeah.

665
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160
And this is where like learning from people like Hormozzi.

666
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Yeah.

667
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Become so valuable.

668
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,240
Right.

669
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,920
Because he's sharing his insights.

670
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:00,880
His experiences.

671
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,440
It's exact.

672
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,400
His failures.

673
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:02,960
Yeah.

674
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,320
So we can learn from them.

675
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,400
And avoid making those same mistakes.

676
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,600
It's like having a mentor.

677
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,880
It is.

678
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,640
Who's already been there and done that.

679
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:10,720
Yeah.

680
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,480
And is showing you their map.

681
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:12,880
Yeah.

682
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,880
And this is like what he talks about a lot.

683
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,320
With skill stacking.

684
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,560
Yeah.

685
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,480
It's a journey of continuous learning and growth.

686
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:20,960
OK.

687
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,840
It's like a video game.

688
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Right.

689
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,640
OK.

690
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,680
I like that analogy.

691
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,680
Where you're constantly leveling up.

692
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Acquiring new skills.

693
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,120
Yeah.

694
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,240
Making your existing abilities even more powerful.

695
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,880
So it's not about adding skills just randomly.

696
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,040
No.

697
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,240
It's got to be strategic.

698
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,280
It's about intentionally picking those that.

699
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,400
Compliment each other.

700
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:42,800
Compliment.

701
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Yeah.

702
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040
It's like building a well rounded team.

703
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Yes.

704
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,000
Exactly.

705
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,080
But instead of people it's your skills.

706
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,560
Yeah.

707
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,520
I love that.

708
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:49,680
OK.

709
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,160
I like that.

710
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,600
He uses the example of Jay-Z.

711
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Right.

712
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Yeah.

713
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Who went from like being a really talented rapper

714
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
to like building this whole music empire.

715
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,400
It's Nogul status.

716
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,840
Yeah.

717
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,960
And he did that by.

718
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,320
By stacking those skills.

719
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,120
Stacking skills.

720
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:05,280
Yeah.

721
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Like marketing, promotion, talent management.

722
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:08,640
Yeah.

723
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,680
All on top of like.

724
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,200
On top of his musical abilities.

725
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:11,360
Yeah.

726
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:12,320
The music.

727
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,760
So he realized.

728
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,640
He understood.

729
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,680
To really succeed.

730
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,320
Yeah.

731
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,160
He had to be more than just a musician.

732
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,120
More than just a rapper.

733
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:20,400
He had to be an entrepreneur.

734
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:20,800
Yeah.

735
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,280
Yeah.

736
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:21,600
Yeah.

737
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,840
And that's I mean such a good example.

738
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,160
It is.

739
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Of how skills that seem.

740
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Unrelated.

741
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Totally unrelated.

742
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,360
Can actually work together.

743
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,280
To create something really powerful.

744
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:31,440
Yeah.

745
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,960
It's about seeing that big picture.

746
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,520
Yeah.

747
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:33,760
OK.

748
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,400
So we talked about like value creation.

749
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Mm-hmm.

750
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Finding the right market.

751
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,720
Mm-hmm.

752
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Leveraging resources.

753
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,640
Skill stacking.

754
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Mm-hmm.

755
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:42,240
Continuous learning.

756
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Like we've covered a lot.

757
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,320
A lot of ground.

758
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,520
But what about happiness?

759
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Yeah.

760
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,120
That's a good question.

761
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,800
Is all this worth it?

762
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,920
If you're not happy.

763
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,640
All the hustle.

764
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,520
The ambition.

765
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:51,920
Right.

766
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,800
Because that's what it's all about.

767
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Right.

768
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:53,760
Yeah.

769
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,480
At the end of the day.

770
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,880
Yeah.

771
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Well I mean.

772
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,720
He actually has a pretty simple definition of happiness.

773
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,200
OK.

774
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
He says it's doing what you like.

775
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,280
With people you like.

776
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,760
Mm-hmm.

777
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,720
As much as you can.

778
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,520
I love that.

779
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,720
It's pretty straightforward.

780
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,920
It's not tied to.

781
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,400
Yeah.

782
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,760
Achievements or.

783
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Rope.

784
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Material possessions.

785
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,320
It's about.

786
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,680
It's about the progress.

787
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,800
It's about the process.

788
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,440
The people.

789
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,160
The freedom.

790
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,880
The journey.

791
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,280
Yeah.

792
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:17,680
Yeah.

793
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,920
And this is where we see a really interesting part of Hormozzi's personality.

794
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,080
OK.

795
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Tell me about it.

796
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Right.

797
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,880
Because he's got this drive, this ambition.

798
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,680
Mm-hmm.

799
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,880
He's an entrepreneur.

800
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,320
But he also finds his deep connection to writing.

801
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:34,720
Yeah.

802
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,080
It's almost counterintuitive.

803
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:36,560
It is.

804
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Right.

805
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,120
You wouldn't necessarily expect that.

806
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,040
You wouldn't think that those two would go together.

807
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,280
Yeah.

808
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,560
You'd think he'd just want to be out there like hustling all the time.

809
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,360
Totally.

810
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,600
But it really just shows the importance of balance.

811
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,480
It does.

812
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Right.

813
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Even like the most driven people.

814
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,160
Yeah.

815
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,320
Need an outlet for like creativity, reflection.

816
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Those introspective moments.

817
00:18:59,840 --> 00:18:59,920
Yeah.

818
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:00,400
Yeah.

819
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Exactly.

820
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,640
And why is your just like, oh, appreciate.

821
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Dean.

822
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,000
Out.

823
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Yeah.

824
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:04,960
You're going to burn out.

825
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,840
You gotta have something.

826
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,080
Yeah.

827
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,440
To nourish your soul.

828
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:07,920
Yeah.

829
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Like what lights you up.

830
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,320
Right.

831
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Like what reminds you why you're doing all this in the first place.

832
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,880
And for him, writing's that thing.

833
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,280
Yeah.

834
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:22,000
Like he talks about how it allows him to like process his emotions, connect with his inner self.

835
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Mm-hmm.

836
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,680
Like make sense of everything.

837
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,400
OK.

838
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,680
So it's a good reminder, right, that happiness can come from like the most unexpected sources.

839
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,480
It doesn't have to fit some like neat little box.

840
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Oh, and it doesn't even have to like fit with your dominant personality traits.

841
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,960
No, it's not.

842
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,200
It's about embracing like the full.

843
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,240
Spectrum of who you are.

844
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,800
Yeah.

845
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,920
All the different pieces.

846
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,160
Yeah.

847
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,760
The drive, the ambition.

848
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,920
The introspection, the vulnerability.

849
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,320
Yeah.

850
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Finding that balance.

851
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:49,920
Absolutely.

852
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,000
So, I mean, we've covered a lot.

853
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,560
We have.

854
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,880
In our exploration of like Hormozzi's journey and his philosophy.

855
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,360
Mm-hmm.

856
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:03,760
We talked about his business strategies, his personal insights.

857
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:04,400
Mm-hmm.

858
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,040
You know, his definition of success, even his approach to happiness.

859
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,520
Yeah.

860
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,720
It's been a.

861
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,240
It has been a fascinating ride.

862
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,040
Pretty fascinating.

863
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:19,280
But there's one more crucial aspect of his story that I think we should really dig into.

864
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:19,600
OK.

865
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,080
I'm listening.

866
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480
And it's his perspective on failure.

867
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:22,800
OK.

868
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,040
Yeah.

869
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,000
That's huge.

870
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320
I mean, it's something that I think a lot of people struggle with.

871
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,360
Oh, yeah, for sure.

872
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:27,840
Right.

873
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,520
So to hear his take on it, I think it's going to be super valuable.

874
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:31,680
All right.

875
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,120
Let's talk about failure.

876
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,960
Because, I mean, most people see it as something to be avoided, right?

877
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,440
To be total.

878
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,640
Like it's a sign of weakness.

879
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,600
Like you messed up.

880
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,560
You're not good enough.

881
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,060
Yeah.

882
00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:41,920
It's like this negative thing.

883
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,640
The hormones, he like flips the script.

884
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,140
Totally.

885
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:45,840
He embraces it.

886
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,340
He does.

887
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:51,200
And he even has this like thought provoking question that he likes to ask his guests.

888
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,280
He's like, what are the failures you cherish the most?

889
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,560
Oh, wow.

890
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,920
Such a good question.

891
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,560
That's a good one.

892
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:58,880
Yeah.

893
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,360
Yeah.

894
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:01,360
It's like forcing you to look at it differently.

895
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:02,400
Reframing it.

896
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:02,640
Yeah.

897
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,880
Instead of seeing it as this bad thing.

898
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Yeah.

899
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,120
You're actually looking for the value in it.

900
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,640
Like failure is not the enemy.

901
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,440
It's a teacher.

902
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,160
I love that.

903
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,640
OK.

904
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,040
So he actually shares two of his own like cherished failures.

905
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,360
Yeah.

906
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:16,080
Two of them.

907
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,320
And the first one might surprise you.

908
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,120
It might.

909
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,240
It's that corporate job.

910
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:20,720
Yeah.

911
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,320
The one that he hated so much.

912
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,160
The one that he was so miserable in.

913
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Yeah.

914
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,360
The one that made him like not want to wake up in the morning.

915
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,960
How could he possibly cherish that?

916
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,880
Because it was like the catalyst for change.

917
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,280
Like the pain of staying stuck was so intense that it finally like forced him to take action.

918
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Right.

919
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,040
It was the push he needed.

920
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,480
It was like negative motivation.

921
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:42,880
Right.

922
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,400
It was like I got to get out of this.

923
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,360
So it was like a gift in a way.

924
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:47,920
It was a gift.

925
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,040
A wake up call.

926
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,600
Yeah.

927
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:49,840
Yeah.

928
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,640
That makes sense.

929
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,520
What about the second one?

930
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,560
OK.

931
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,080
The second one's a little more personal.

932
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:54,400
OK.

933
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,680
It involves a really tough period in his relationship with Lailia.

934
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Where they were facing like a ton of financial pressure and uncertainty.

935
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,480
I mean that's got to be hard.

936
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,680
Oh incredibly challenging.

937
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:09,920
Yeah.

938
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,280
To go through that with your partner.

939
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,040
It's like what one of the biggest tests.

940
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,240
But he says he wouldn't trade it for anything.

941
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,960
Really.

942
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,400
Because they like had to rely on each other so much and support each other.

943
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,080
And ultimately they came out stronger.

944
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Oh I love that.

945
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:28,640
That's beautiful.

946
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,160
It's like it's proof that.

947
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,640
That going through tough times together.

948
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:32,880
Yeah.

949
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Can really bond you.

950
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:34,560
Yeah.

951
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,000
It could either make or break you.

952
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Right.

953
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,160
But in their case it was like.

954
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,120
It solidified it.

955
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:39,280
Yeah.

956
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,480
Made them even stronger.

957
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:40,640
Yeah.

958
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960
There's actually this really powerful story he tells.

959
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Oh yeah.

960
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,480
About.

961
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040
About this time when he was feeling really down.

962
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Yeah.

963
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,080
He was struggling.

964
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,200
Super discouraged.

965
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Like financially.

966
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,400
And he basically like pushed Lailia away.

967
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,240
And was like you should leave me.

968
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:56,560
Nah.

969
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,000
I'm a sinking ship.

970
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Oh man.

971
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,840
It's heartbreaking.

972
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Like you can just feel like how low he was feeling in that moment.

973
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:04,560
Yeah.

974
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,920
Like just worthless like.

975
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Totally worthy.

976
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,920
I'm bringing you down.

977
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,240
Yeah.

978
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,640
You should just go what does she do.

979
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,480
So instead of walking away.

980
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,120
Yeah.

981
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,080
She doubled down on her belief in him.

982
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Oh wow.

983
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,280
She went out and set an all time sales record for their business.

984
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,240
What.

985
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Proving that she wasn't going anywhere.

986
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,800
That's amazing.

987
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,040
Talk about like a power move.

988
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:27,360
It is.

989
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,400
It's a power move.

990
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,360
And also just like.

991
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,640
But it's like love too.

992
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,520
So much love.

993
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:31,680
Yeah.

994
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,840
It's a demonstration of love and support.

995
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Yeah.

996
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,040
It's like I believe in you even when you don't.

997
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,920
It's like I got you no matter what.

998
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,160
Yeah.

999
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,680
It's a good reminder.

1000
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,160
It is.

1001
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600
That we all need those people in our lives.

1002
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:45,760
Right.

1003
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Who see our potential.

1004
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,240
Yeah.

1005
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,840
Even when we're blind to it.

1006
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Absolutely.

1007
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:51,680
Okay.

1008
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,240
So what does all this mean for us.

1009
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,400
Yeah.

1010
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,760
For the listeners.

1011
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:55,920
Right.

1012
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,200
Like what are the takeaways.

1013
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,600
What can we actually learn from all of this.

1014
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,000
Well I think first and foremost it's a call to action.

1015
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,640
To embrace failure.

1016
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,360
Okay.

1017
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,880
As part of the journey.

1018
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,320
Not something to be scared of.

1019
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,560
Yeah.

1020
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,080
To shift our mindset from like failure is a setback.

1021
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:14,320
Yeah.

1022
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,400
To failure is an opportunity.

1023
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,960
Okay.

1024
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,120
Right.

1025
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:18,880
Like an opportunity for growth.

1026
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,240
For learning.

1027
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,200
It's a lesson.

1028
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:21,840
It's a lesson.

1029
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Exactly.

1030
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,440
At the end of the world.

1031
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,400
It's a stepping stone.

1032
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:24,720
Yeah.

1033
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,360
It's about like developing that resilience.

1034
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:27,920
Mm hmm.

1035
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,640
The grit.

1036
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,040
The ability to like bounce back.

1037
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Keep going.

1038
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Yeah.

1039
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,320
And I think the second big takeaway.

1040
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Is we need to surround ourselves.

1041
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,040
With people who believe in us.

1042
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Support us.

1043
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,760
And challenge us to like.

1044
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,720
Yeah.

1045
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,760
Be our best selves.

1046
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,880
To level up.

1047
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,080
Absolutely to level up.

1048
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,200
Find your Alelia.

1049
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,440
Yeah.

1050
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240
Find those people who like see your potential even when you don't.

1051
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,360
And then finally I think it's an invitation to like reframe our definition of success.

1052
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,000
It's not just about like achieving those specific outcomes.

1053
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,080
Right.

1054
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,120
It's about like becoming the best version of ourselves.

1055
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:03,680
Mm hmm.

1056
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,040
So it's a more holistic view.

1057
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,440
Yeah.

1058
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Okay.

1059
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,840
So we talked about his journey.

1060
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Yeah.

1061
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,120
His strategies.

1062
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:09,520
Yeah.

1063
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,560
His philosophy.

1064
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:12,800
His view on failure.

1065
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:14,960
But like at the end of the day.

1066
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Where does he land on happiness.

1067
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,880
Well he actually has a pretty simple definition of happiness.

1068
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,360
I get it.

1069
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:21,760
I'm curious.

1070
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,000
He says it's doing what you like.

1071
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,160
Okay.

1072
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,280
With people you like.

1073
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:25,360
Yeah.

1074
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:26,560
As much as you can.

1075
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,280
I love that.

1076
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,080
It's like.

1077
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,840
So straightforward.

1078
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Yeah.

1079
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,280
It's not tied to.

1080
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Yeah.

1081
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,640
Achievements or material things.

1082
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Nope.

1083
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,320
It's about the people.

1084
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:36,880
The freedom.

1085
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,840
The things you enjoy.

1086
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,240
The journey.

1087
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Yeah.

1088
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,360
Yeah.

1089
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:44,560
And this is where we see like a really interesting contrast in his personality.

1090
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,000
Oh okay.

1091
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Right.

1092
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Because he's this driven ambition.

1093
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,280
That's for Prenor.

1094
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:49,440
Yeah.

1095
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,400
How to Prenor.

1096
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,000
But he also like finds this deep connection.

1097
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:54,720
Yeah.

1098
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,440
To writing.

1099
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,200
To writing which seems.

1100
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,480
It's almost counterintuitive.

1101
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:58,800
Right.

1102
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,120
It is like you wouldn't necessarily expect that.

1103
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:01,360
No.

1104
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,360
You wouldn't think those two things would go together.

1105
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,440
You'd think he'd just want to be out there like.

1106
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Yeah.

1107
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,640
Fast lane all the time.

1108
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Frushing it.

1109
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Yeah.

1110
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Yeah.

1111
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,120
But it just highlights like the importance of balance.

1112
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:11,280
Right.

1113
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:11,440
Right.

1114
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,680
He does.

1115
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,520
Even the most driven people.

1116
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Yeah.

1117
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,960
Need an outlet for creativity for reflection.

1118
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,200
Yeah.

1119
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,160
You need those like.

1120
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Those introspective moments.

1121
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Quiet moments.

1122
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,200
Yeah.

1123
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Otherwise you just become a machine.

1124
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,040
Yeah.

1125
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:23,840
You burn out.

1126
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,200
You got to have something.

1127
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,360
Yeah.

1128
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,040
To nourish your soul too.

1129
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Like.

1130
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,080
Yeah.

1131
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,440
What makes you feel alive?

1132
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,240
Yes.

1133
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,800
Exactly.

1134
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Yeah.

1135
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,920
Like what brings you joy.

1136
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,840
What reminds you.

1137
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,760
Like why you're doing all of this in the first place.

1138
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,000
Yeah.

1139
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Yeah.

1140
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,560
And for him writings that thing.

1141
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Okay.

1142
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,920
Like he talks about how it allows him to.

1143
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Yeah.

1144
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Process his emotions.

1145
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Connect with himself.

1146
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Like make sense of everything.

1147
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,360
Okay.

1148
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:48,560
It's a good reminder right.

1149
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,040
Mm-hmm.

1150
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,360
That like happiness can come from the most unexpected places.

1151
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:53,520
Yeah.

1152
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,720
It doesn't have to fit.

1153
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,120
Like.

1154
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:55,920
It doesn't have to fit.

1155
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,720
A certain mold.

1156
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:56,800
No.

1157
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,520
Yeah.

1158
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:57,760
No.

1159
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,640
And it doesn't even have to like necessarily fit with your dominant personality traits.

1160
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,640
It's about embracing the full spectrum.

1161
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,040
Yeah.

1162
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,160
All those different parts.

1163
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,280
All the different pieces.

1164
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,760
Yeah.

1165
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,040
That make you who you are.

1166
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,840
Exactly.

1167
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,840
So we've covered a lot of ground here.

1168
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,480
We have.

1169
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Right.

1170
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,280
We talked about Hormozzi's journey.

1171
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,400
His strategies.

1172
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Mm-hmm.

1173
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,040
His personal philosophy.

1174
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,760
Mm-hmm.

1175
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,520
Even his approach to happiness.

1176
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:21,920
Yeah.

1177
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,520
It's been a pretty amazing journey.

1178
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,560
It has been a fascinating journey.

1179
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,440
But there's one more crucial aspect of his story.

1180
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Okay.

1181
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,760
That I think we need to dive into.

1182
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,160
All right.

1183
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,560
And we'll see.

1184
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,960
And that is his perspective on failure.

1185
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Okay.

1186
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Yeah.

1187
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,240
That's a big one.

1188
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,000
It's something I think a lot of people struggle with.

1189
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,480
Oh yeah.

1190
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,040
For sure.

1191
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,120
So to hear his take on it, I think is going to be really valuable for the listeners.

1192
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:43,440
All right.

1193
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,720
Let's talk failure.

1194
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,880
Because I mean for most people failure is something to be avoided.

1195
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,040
Right.

1196
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,680
Slowly.

1197
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,360
It's the sign of weakness.

1198
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,240
You messed up.

1199
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,440
Like you're not good enough.

1200
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Yeah.

1201
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,760
It has such a negative connotation.

1202
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,160
But Homozy, he kind of flips the script on that.

1203
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:58,800
He does.

1204
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,440
He really does.

1205
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,400
He embraces it.

1206
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,480
And he even has this thought provoking question that he asks a lot of his guests.

1207
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,960
He's like, what are the failures you cherish the most?

1208
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Oh wow.

1209
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,160
That's such an interesting question.

1210
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,960
It's a really good question because it makes you look at it differently, right?

1211
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,440
It does.

1212
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560
It forces you to reframe your whole perspective.

1213
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:20,720
Yeah.

1214
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,520
Instead of seeing it as this like bad thing,

1215
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,080
you're actually looking for the value, the lessons learned,

1216
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
the growth that came from it.

1217
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
It's like failure is not the enemy.

1218
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,280
It's a teacher.

1219
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,400
I love that.

1220
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:34,880
Yeah.

1221
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,440
It's a good one.

1222
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,520
So he actually shares two of his own cherished failures.

1223
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,160
He does.

1224
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,040
He shares two of them.

1225
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,960
And the first one might surprise you.

1226
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,240
It's that corporate job.

1227
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:44,960
Yeah.

1228
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,320
We were talking about it earlier.

1229
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,000
The one that he hated so much.

1230
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,280
The one he was so miserable in.

1231
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:49,760
Yes.

1232
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,920
The one where he didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning.

1233
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,520
It's wild to think that he would actually cherish that experience.

1234
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:56,000
Why?

1235
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,640
But he does.

1236
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,680
He cherishes it because it was like the catalyst for change in his life.

1237
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,240
Okay.

1238
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Yeah.

1239
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,080
It was like the ultimate push.

1240
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,280
He was the ultimate push.

1241
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,240
You had to get out of there.

1242
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:12,240
The pain of staying stuck was so intense that it like finally forced him to take action.

1243
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,680
He was like, I can't do this anymore.

1244
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,320
Exactly.

1245
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,840
So it was negative motivation.

1246
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,120
It was negative motivation.

1247
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:17,760
But it worked.

1248
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,640
But it worked.

1249
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,040
Yeah.

1250
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,480
So it was a gift in a way.

1251
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,040
It was a gift.

1252
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,240
It was a gift, a wake-up call.

1253
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Yeah.

1254
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,120
Yeah.

1255
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,520
Yeah.

1256
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,720
What about the second one?

1257
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:24,960
Okay.

1258
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,360
So the second one is a little bit more personal.

1259
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Okay.

1260
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:34,480
It involves a really challenging time in his relationship with Lelya where they were facing

1261
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,960
a ton of financial pressure and uncertainty.

1262
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,280
I mean, that's got to be so tough to go through with your partner.

1263
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,960
Oh, incredibly challenging.

1264
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,080
It's one of the biggest tests you can face in a relationship, I think.

1265
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Yeah.

1266
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,000
But he says he wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

1267
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,720
Wow.

1268
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Yeah, because they had to rely on each other so much and support each other.

1269
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,280
Mm-hmm, to get through it.

1270
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,680
Yeah.

1271
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480
And ultimately, they came out stronger on the other side.

1272
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,440
I love that.

1273
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,520
It really speaks to the power of partnership.

1274
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:01,920
You know?

1275
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:02,800
It does.

1276
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,800
Like going through those tough times together can either make you or break you.

1277
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,280
It can.

1278
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,920
And for them, it sounds like it like...

1279
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,880
It solidified them.

1280
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Yeah.

1281
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,480
It solidified their bond.

1282
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:12,960
Absolutely.

1283
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,800
It made them even stronger.

1284
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,520
Er.

1285
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,520
He tells this really powerful story.

1286
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,880
Oh, yeah.

1287
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,560
About this time when he was at his lowest point.

1288
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Super discouraged, yeah.

1289
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,440
He was really struggling financially.

1290
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Yeah.

1291
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,640
And basically told Lily to leave.

1292
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,240
He basically pushed her away.

1293
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,560
Yeah.

1294
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,120
And was like, you should leave.

1295
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,240
I'm a sinking ship.

1296
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,080
Wow.

1297
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800
It's heartbreaking just to hear him describe that moment.

1298
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,240
Yeah, like the despair.

1299
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:40,560
Yeah.

1300
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,920
The feeling of...

1301
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Worthlessness.

1302
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Yeah, like I'm just bringing you down.

1303
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:45,440
Totally.

1304
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,040
You should just cut your losses and go.

1305
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:47,920
And you know what she did?

1306
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,560
What did she do?

1307
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,760
She doubled down on her belief in him.

1308
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Oh, wow.

1309
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,960
She went out and set an all-time sales record for their business.

1310
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,600
Oh, wow.

1311
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,320
That's incredible.

1312
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,680
What a power move.

1313
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,480
It is.

1314
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,040
And just like so much love.

1315
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,760
It's both, right?

1316
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,320
Yeah.

1317
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,520
It's love and its power.

1318
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,680
It's this like incredible demonstration of...

1319
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,480
I believe in you.

1320
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Yeah, I believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself.

1321
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,280
And I'm not going anywhere.

1322
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Yeah, that's powerful.

1323
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,520
It's like it makes me think about the people in my life, right?

1324
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,920
Like do I have those people?

1325
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,120
The people who see your potential even when you don't.

1326
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Yeah.

1327
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,280
Those are the people you need to hold on to.

1328
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,920
Absolutely.

1329
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,360
Okay, so we talked about his journey.

1330
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,720
We talked about his strategies.

1331
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,120
Yeah.

1332
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,080
His philosophy.

1333
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,520
His view on failure.

1334
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,360
Yeah, but where does he land on like the big question?

1335
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,120
Happiness.

1336
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,920
He actually has a pretty simple definition of happiness.

1337
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,960
I'm curious to hear it.

1338
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,680
He says doing what you like with people you like as much as you can.

1339
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,600
I love that.

1340
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Yeah, it's so straightforward.

1341
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,880
Yeah, and it's not tied to like achievements or material things.

1342
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,520
No, it's about the process, the people, the freedom.

1343
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,160
The journey.

1344
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,400
Yeah.

1345
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:58,960
Journey.

1346
00:31:58,960 --> 00:31:59,600
Okay.

1347
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,200
And this is where we see like a really interesting part of his personality.

1348
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:03,920
Okay, what's that?

1349
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Because he's like so driven, so ambitious.

1350
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,960
He's an entrepreneur.

1351
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,680
Yeah.

1352
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,920
But he also finds this deep connection to writing.

1353
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000
Yeah, it's almost counterintuitive, right?

1354
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,320
It is.

1355
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,080
You wouldn't necessarily expect that.

1356
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,320
You wouldn't think those two things would go together.

1357
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,440
No, you'd think you'd just want to be out there like hustling all the time.

1358
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,160
Crushing it.

1359
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:26,480
Yeah.

1360
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,120
Yeah.

1361
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,440
But it really highlights like the importance of balance.

1362
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,560
The importance of balance.

1363
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,840
It's been like the most driven people.

1364
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,280
Yeah, you got to have an outlet.

1365
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,240
Need something.

1366
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Yeah.

1367
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,040
Otherwise you're just a machine and you burn out.

1368
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,080
Gonna burn out for sure.

1369
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800
You got to have something that nourishes your soul.

1370
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,920
Like what makes you feel alive.

1371
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:51,280
Obviously, like what brings you joy, what reminds you like why you're doing this in the first place.

1372
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:51,440
Yeah.

1373
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,080
Yeah.

1374
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,800
And for him, writing is that thing.

1375
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Okay.

1376
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,240
He talks about how it allows him to like process his emotions, connect with himself,

1377
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,160
like make sense of the world.

1378
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Okay.

1379
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,840
And so it's a good reminder, right?

1380
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,000
Like happiness can come from the most unexpected place.

1381
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,840
Yeah, it doesn't have to fit into this.

1382
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,360
It doesn't have to fit in the neat little box that we've created in our mind.

1383
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Exactly.

1384
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:21,520
This perfect little box and it doesn't even have to like necessarily fit with like your

1385
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,280
dominant personality traits.

1386
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:23,840
Right.

1387
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,000
So it's about embracing the full spectrum of who you are.

1388
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,280
All those different pieces.

1389
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,840
All those different pieces that make you you.

1390
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,240
Yeah.

1391
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,640
Yeah.

1392
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:32,720
Yeah.

1393
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Exactly.

1394
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,520
Yeah.

1395
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,840
So we've covered a lot of ground.

1396
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Right.

1397
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Exploring like Hormozzi's journey and his philosophy, his business strategies,

1398
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,040
his personal insights, his definition of success, his approach to happiness.

1399
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,120
Yeah.

1400
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,320
It's been a...

1401
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,440
It's been an amazing journey.

1402
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,800
I feel like we've learned a lot.

1403
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,760
It really has.

1404
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,080
But there's one more crucial aspect of his story that we need to really unpack.

1405
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,480
Yeah.

1406
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,640
His perspective on failure.

1407
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,200
Failure.

1408
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,760
Which is something that I think so many people struggle with.

1409
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Oh yeah, for sure.

1410
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:02,960
Right.

1411
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,360
Yeah.

1412
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,760
So to hear his take on it, I think is going to be super valuable for everyone listening.

1413
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,000
Okay.

1414
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,280
So let's dive into failure.

1415
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,880
Because I mean, for most people, failure is something to be avoided at all costs.

1416
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:15,360
Totally.

1417
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,640
It's like a sign of weakness.

1418
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,760
Like you messed up.

1419
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,160
Yeah.

1420
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,120
You're not good enough.

1421
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,280
Yeah.

1422
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,560
It's got this negative connotation.

1423
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Dig time.

1424
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,680
But Hormozzi, he kind of flips the script.

1425
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,160
He does.

1426
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:24,880
He really does.

1427
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:25,920
He embraces it.

1428
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,760
He even asks this really thought-provoking question to all his guests.

1429
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,240
Okay.

1430
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:35,680
He's like, what are the failures you cherish most?

1431
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,320
Oh wow.

1432
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,720
That's such a good question.

1433
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:39,280
It is.

1434
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,360
Because it makes you think about it differently, right?

1435
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:41,840
It does.

1436
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,880
You're forced to like reframe your whole perspective.

1437
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,440
Exactly.

1438
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,480
Instead of seeing it as this like bad thing, you're looking for the value.

1439
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,200
The growth.

1440
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,040
The growth, the lessons learned.

1441
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,800
Just like failure is not the enemy.

1442
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,120
Right.

1443
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:55,920
It's the teacher.

1444
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,840
I love that.

1445
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,360
So he actually shares two of his own cherished failures.

1446
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Okay.

1447
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,680
And the first one might surprise you, it's that corporate job.

1448
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Yeah.

1449
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,520
The one we were talking about earlier.

1450
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:07,840
Yeah.

1451
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,120
The one that he hated so much.

1452
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:09,280
Yeah.

1453
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,040
Where he didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning.

1454
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,680
Exactly.

1455
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,840
It's wild to think that he would cherish that.

1456
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,360
It is, but he does.

1457
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,320
Because it was like the catalyst for change in his life.

1458
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:20,560
Okay.

1459
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:20,720
Yeah.

1460
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:21,520
It was the ultimate push.

1461
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,400
It was the ultimate push.

1462
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Like he had to get out of there.

1463
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,800
Had to get out of there.

1464
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,440
The pain of staying stuck was so intense that it forced him to take action.

1465
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,200
It was like, yeah, negative motivation.

1466
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,920
But it worked.

1467
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,880
But it worked.

1468
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,280
Yeah.

1469
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,720
It got him where he needed to be.

1470
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,280
It did.

1471
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,640
So in a way, it was a gift.

1472
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,840
It was a gift, a wake up call.

1473
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,880
A wake up call.

1474
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,280
Yeah.

1475
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,000
Yeah.

1476
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Okay, what about the second failure that he cherishes?

1477
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,840
Okay.

1478
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,840
So the second one is a bit more personal.

1479
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:46,240
Okay.

1480
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:50,080
It involves a really challenging time in his relationship with Leila.

1481
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,680
Where they were facing like immense financial pressure and uncertainty.

1482
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,640
I mean, that's got to be so tough to go through as a couple.

1483
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,840
Incredibly challenging.

1484
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:00,160
Right.

1485
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,920
One of the biggest tests you can face in a relationship,

1486
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,840
but he says he wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

1487
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,320
Because they had to like really rely on each other and support each other.

1488
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,960
To get through it.

1489
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:13,760
To get through it.

1490
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,480
And ultimately they came out stronger on the other side.

1491
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,520
I love that.

1492
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,280
It speaks to the power of partnership.

1493
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,760
You know?

1494
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,160
Like going through those really tough times can either make or break you.

1495
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,800
It can.

1496
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,320
And for them, it sounds like it just solidified their bond.

1497
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,520
And made them even stronger.

1498
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,800
It made them even stronger.

1499
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,600
And there's this really powerful story that he tells.

1500
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,160
Oh yeah.

1501
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,560
About like when he was at his lowest point.

1502
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Super discouraged, really struggling financially.

1503
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,280
And basically told Leila to leave.

1504
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,640
He was like, you should just go.

1505
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,680
I'm a sinking ship.

1506
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:48,800
Wow.

1507
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,040
It's heartbreaking to hear him.

1508
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Yeah, the despair.

1509
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:52,640
Yeah.

1510
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,840
Like you could just feel how low he was feeling in that moment.

1511
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,320
Worseless.

1512
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,840
It's like, I'm just bringing you down.

1513
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,160
Yeah.

1514
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,680
You should just cut your losses and go.

1515
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,040
And you know what she did?

1516
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:01,920
What did she do?

1517
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,040
Instead of walking away, she doubled down on her belief in him.

1518
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:07,680
Oh wow.

1519
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,280
And she went out and set an all-time sales record for their business.

1520
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,480
Wow, that's amazing.

1521
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,000
What a power move.

1522
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,640
It is.

1523
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,680
But also just like.

1524
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,520
It's love too.

1525
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,160
So much love.

1526
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,920
It's this incredible demonstration of love and support.

1527
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:22,320
Yeah.

1528
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,840
It's like, I believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself.

1529
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,400
I got you.

1530
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,360
No matter what.

1531
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,480
That's powerful.

1532
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,560
It makes me think about the people in my own life.

1533
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,200
You know.

1534
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:31,360
Yeah.

1535
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,720
Who are those people for you?

1536
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:32,960
Yeah.

1537
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,560
Like do I have those people?

1538
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,560
We'll see your potential even when you don't.

1539
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:36,880
Yeah.

1540
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,120
Those are the people we need to hold on to.

1541
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Absolutely.

1542
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:40,400
Okay.

1543
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:46,400
So you talked about his journey, his strategies, his philosophy, his view on failure.

1544
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,200
But where does he actually land on that big question?

1545
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,160
Yeah, the big question.

1546
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,800
Happiness.

1547
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,680
Happiness, yeah.

1548
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,880
Well, he actually has a pretty simple definition of happiness.

1549
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,080
I'm curious to hear it.

1550
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,400
He says, doing what you like with people you like as much as you can.

1551
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,560
I love that.

1552
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:03,760
It's so straightforward.

1553
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,320
It is.

1554
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,200
And it's not tied to like achievements or material things.

1555
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,520
No.

1556
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,920
It's about the people, the freedom, the things you enjoy.

1557
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,720
The journey.

1558
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:15,360
The journey.

1559
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:15,840
Yeah.

1560
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,320
Yeah.

1561
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:21,120
And this is where I think we see a really interesting contrast in his personality.

1562
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,000
Oh, okay.

1563
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Right.

1564
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Because he's this driven, ambitious entrepreneur.

1565
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Yeah.

1566
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,320
But he also finds this like really deep connection.

1567
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,280
Yeah, to write it.

1568
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,160
To writing.

1569
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:32,400
Yeah.

1570
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880
Which is almost counterintuitive, right?

1571
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,280
It is.

1572
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,960
You wouldn't necessarily expect that.

1573
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,800
You wouldn't think those two things would go together.

1574
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,480
No, you'd think he just wants to be out there like hustling all the time.

1575
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:42,960
Crushing it.

1576
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,760
For crushing it, yeah.

1577
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:44,560
Yeah.

1578
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,160
But it really highlights the importance of balance.

1579
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,280
The importance of balance.

1580
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:49,520
Yeah.

1581
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,680
Even the most driven people.

1582
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:51,920
Yeah.

1583
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,000
You got to have an outlet.

1584
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Yeah, you need something.

1585
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:55,440
Yeah.

1586
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,640
Otherwise you're just a machine.

1587
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,040
And.

1588
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,920
You burn out.

1589
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,160
Yeah.

1590
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,160
You got to have something to nourish your soul.

1591
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,800
To like, yeah, what makes you feel alive, right?

1592
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:03,760
Yes, exactly.

1593
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,880
What brings you joy?

1594
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,400
What reminds you of like why you're doing this in the first place?

1595
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:08,560
Yeah.

1596
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,760
And for him, writing is that thing.

1597
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,320
Yeah.

1598
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:19,120
He talks about how it allows him to process his emotions, connect with himself, make sense of the world.

1599
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:19,680
Right.

1600
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,840
And so it's a good reminder, right?

1601
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,640
Mm-hmm.

1602
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,000
That happiness can come from the most unexpected places.

1603
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:26,320
Yeah.

1604
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,000
It doesn't have to fit into like.

1605
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,040
It doesn't have to fit into this.

1606
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,120
A neat little box that we create in our mind.

1607
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,240
This perfect little box.

1608
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:32,640
Yeah.

1609
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,040
And it doesn't even have to necessarily fit with like your dominant personality traits.

1610
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,880
So it's about embracing the full spectrum.

1611
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,000
The full spectrum.

1612
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Of who you are.

1613
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,520
Yeah.

1614
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,000
All those different pieces that make you, you.

1615
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Yeah.

1616
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,160
Absolutely.

1617
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Okay.

1618
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,080
So what does all this mean for us?

1619
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,240
Yeah.

1620
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:49,520
What does this mean for the listeners?

1621
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:49,760
Right.

1622
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,960
Like what are the takeaways?

1623
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,960
Yeah. What can people actually do with this information?

1624
00:39:53,520 --> 00:40:00,240
Well, I think first and foremost, it's a call to action to embrace failure as part of the journey.

1625
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,920
To shift our mindset.

1626
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:02,320
Yeah.

1627
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,480
From failure is a setback.

1628
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,120
To failure as an opportunity.

1629
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Okay.

1630
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,080
Right.

1631
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,080
An opportunity for growth, for learning.

1632
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,040
It's a lesson.

1633
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,240
It's not the end of the world.

1634
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,840
It's a lesson, a stepping stone.

1635
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,240
It's about developing that resilience.

1636
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:16,880
Mm-hmm.

1637
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,760
That grit.

1638
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:18,000
Yeah.

1639
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,920
That grit, that ability to bounce back.

1640
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:20,640
Keep going.

1641
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,120
Yeah.

1642
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,520
No matter what.

1643
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,080
And I think the second big takeaway is that we really need to surround ourselves with people.

1644
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:26,880
Mm-hmm.

1645
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:27,920
The right people.

1646
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,400
Yeah.

1647
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,520
People who believe in us.

1648
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,240
Support us.

1649
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:31,040
Support us.

1650
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,400
Challenge us to be better.

1651
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,040
Yeah.

1652
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:33,760
To level up.

1653
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:34,400
Level up.

1654
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,600
Find your lead-ya.

1655
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,080
Yeah.

1656
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,400
Those people who see our potential, even when we can't see it ourselves.

1657
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,200
And then finally, I think it's an invitation to reframe our definition of success.

1658
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:45,920
Mm-hmm.

1659
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,200
It's not just about achieving specific outcomes.

1660
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,240
It's about becoming the best version of yourself.

1661
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:52,720
Yeah.

1662
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:53,840
It's a more holistic view.

1663
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,800
It's about embracing the challenges, learning from every experience.

1664
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,160
Both the good and the bad.

1665
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,520
The good and the bad, exactly.

1666
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,000
Yeah.

1667
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:02,480
Yeah.

1668
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,920
And as we wrap up this deep dive into the world of Alex Hormozzi, I think the biggest

1669
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:15,440
question he leaves us with is, what is that one piece of knowledge or information that

1670
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,440
could unlock a new level of success in your life right now?

1671
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,400
Oh, that's a good one.

1672
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,160
And what would it take to acquire it?

1673
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,400
So it's about identifying those knowledge gaps.

1674
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:24,880
Yeah.

1675
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,800
That might be holding you back and then...

1676
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,360
Yeah.

1677
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,400
Figuring out how to fill them.

1678
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:28,880
Yeah.

1679
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,000
It's recognizing that learning is a lifelong journey.

1680
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,720
Absolutely.

1681
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,320
And there's always more to learn.

1682
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:34,880
Yeah.

1683
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,920
And on that note, we've reached the end of our deep dive into Alex Hormozzi's world.

1684
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,800
We cover a lot.

1685
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,280
We covered his entrepreneurial journey, his business strategies, his career, and his

1686
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,960
personal philosophy, his unique perspective on failure.

1687
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,560
His definition of happiness.

1688
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:50,880
Yeah.

1689
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,600
It's been an amazing exploration and hopefully you've gleaned some valuable insights.

1690
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:55,840
Yeah.

1691
