"Understanding the difference between the two kinds of work has been the biggest unlock in my life." In this episode, Alex (@AlexHormozi) defines "Maker" vs "Manager" work, why they matter for leverage, how teams can build more awareness and intentionality around them, and ultimately how putting this system into practice can make you a lot more money.

Special shoutout to Paul Graham who wrote a piece on this concept 14 years ago.
