Episode notes

When we are faced with a decision, to choose stability versus a dream, our brain will convince us to play it safe. We typically let our fears and anxieties prevail. Instead of settling for what is good, we should focus on what will make our lives even better. To find success, Alex had to change his mindset of what success looked like.

In 2013, Alex started his first brick & mortar business. Within three years, he successfully scaled his business to six locations. He then sold his locations to transition to the turnaround business. From there, he spent two years turning 32+ brick & mortar businesses around using the same model that made his privately owned locations successful. In 2020, he transitioned from CEO to the owner/shareholder position in these companies and founded Acquisition.com as a way to invest his own wealth (both monetary and intellectual capital) into other businesses.

With all this accomplished at just 33 years of age, Alex Hormozi is the definition of Young and Profiting. Alex will join Hala for an extensive 2-part interview. In this episode, they will discuss Alex’s come-up story and his philosophy on life, marriage, money, and so much more.
