Give, give and keep on giving. Its incredible what happens when you stop focusing on outcomes and instead prioritise the process of creation and contribution. Mature direction, more stable moods - one of the major lessons I’ve learned from Hormozi 🌲

I just took a big risk this morning before listening. And I was feeling good with my decision. The topic of risk adjusted return gave me the validation I needed. Also there’s someone out there that has had it worse and done it better and I’m going to catch up to them.

[@eyeswideopenpod]

Good for you for taking a risk! And feeling good about it! 💖

[@MultiGibbs123]

Cant get enough of this guy ........ my fav person to listen too , so real !!

[@jaredmello]

I liked the part where Alex said “what problem are you solving for?” A lot of women like The Holistic Psychologist are solving for the problem of mind, body, spirit healing. But if you are trying to have goals like Alex, living by her suggestions will not help you achieve your goal. Listening to Alex’s suggestions will. We gotta know the end goal and what is success for everyone we take advice or suggestions from. If the goals are not aligned, we are listening to the wrong people for our goals.

[@nicholascowling7052]

The beginning of this interview was interesting as Alex appears to just have a lot of energy and for him that's probably a driving force to overcome obstacles. For people that are stuck where they are, I think a lot of them complain because it's simply easier to do that and live in the safety of their mediocrity versus having to put in continuous effort to improve your life. I've noticed that with a lot of people in life. They put in enough work/effort to get by, but not many people are willing to put in that extra 10% whether it benefits themselves or not. Both you guys know this and understand the hard work you have had to put in to achieve your goals. An while I'd argue we all gain personal success from this growth, it won't result in financial success for everyone.

[@ChickFenwick]

One of the best things you can invest in is your health, even if it never makes money. (Investing time, energy, and a reasonable amount of money.)

[@Tucker0]

This is one of the best podcast episodes I’ve listened to. 1 hour in, (I rarely comment on videos). Talking about the fuel used to drive you forward is incredible, I got to about 10-20k per month in revenue, bought all the cool stuff I wanted to over compensate for stuff that happened when growing up & then I lost focus. Couple of years later & starting my business over again. Understanding how Alex thinks & listening to people way above you in the wealth ladder is awesome! Thanks guys!

[@Cocomixermachine]

Wow!

[@Ruby_Lola]

I’ve listened to Alex on DOAC and I have to say I learnt so much more from your podcast Chris. Alex has so much knowledge/ wisdom to share and this conversation really showcased that.

[@jacobalexander1889]

I love how they’re just bouncing back and forth different peoples quotes, and then a short snippet of their opinion on it. It’s so funny it’s like they’re barely have any conversation get it super insightful and important. Love you guys.

[@rfreeze]

I think Alex’s point on those who suffer the ills of racial inequality is valid, as in… “You have to overcome it inspite of…”. Because the alternative is to lay down and die. HOWEVER, what he an others who are quick to point out that dynamic often miss is: if you can take the time - as a white male, no less - to talk about overcoming racial struggles you never experienced yourself - also then *at least* take the time (be as explicit) to call out people and systems that continue to perpuate oppression and systemic racism. In other words, don’t simply use your platform to pass the buck - use it to attack what is: the problem to begin with. All that said: Hormozi is a beast. Love listening to his mindset and approach to life!

[@MRSketch09]

23:22 Good quote mentioned "You cannot overestimate the unimportantance of practically everything" - John Maxwell Man this video was.. hard to swallow. A lot of food for thought. So much I feel like I over ate... *sighs*

[@PNGtwentyfour]

Alex has a lot of wisdom to share about taking action and working hard to achieve a directional goal. I pity his perspective that life is a game you play until you're annihilated and disappear in death. The "mountain" of "more money" is a wasted life unless there is something greater than ourselves to guide how we steward those resources. One man's uninvited opinion.
