“Expecting it to be easy makes it much harder than it needs to be.” So very true!

Alex is the man. End of story. A very underrated motivator.

“it’s hard, work through it” conversation over and over and over ad nauseam

Straightforward truth! Alex Hormozi's no-nonsense approach on facing challenges is both motivating and eye-opening. Thanks for the tough love and valuable insights!

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did

Every word said strikes me to the bone as I needed to hear this specifically today! Every experience you get in work or otherwise will come in handy later down the line.

Thank you Alex for saving me and getting me through this dark and difficult time I’m currently in ❤

I can hardly wair for the full podcast.Awesome content Chris keep up the good work,the cinematography is top notch. Funny thing that I discovered you only this year and I've watched hours upon hours of podcasts. I'm glad that the algorithm is doing a better job now at recommending your content :)

Everyone focusing on the steroids stuff while there is some absolutely gold wisdom in here. This really resonated with me and was exactly what I needed to hear.

Go hard or go harder or look at it with some positive perspective and it becomes less hard. Thanks for bringing Alex! Love to hear his wisdom!

After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.

I truly apreciate Alex and his work on the business side. But what I can't get behind is him lying about his steroid use and you and other podcast hosts not calling him out on it. Espescially you being good friends with James Smith who preaches against this type of misleading people.

So simple, yet so good

Thank you for this, gavee me the strength and conviction i needed

Alex Hormozi's insights on embracing challenges are spot on; it's through adversity that entrepreneurs can truly innovate. For instance, when faced with a tough market, the most successful entrepreneurs use 'constraint-based innovation' to turn limitations into unique selling points. Remember, it's not just about working hard, but also about working smart and finding creative solutions within your constraints.

As someone who’s been watching the show at least 2 years now pretty consistently. 2023, three of the maybe 6 people I send episodes out too have started listening close to if not regularly.

Love this studio set

the reality is that hard work is not guarantee of success, you have minority of people who do the work to actually succeed, then they go on podcasts, write books to sell about their "formula" and become even more successful for it... You need to put hard work in correct direction, just because its hard is not enough of a indicator that you're doing something right.

Know what you are committed to and just don’t give up, no matter what happens. The rewards are great.

I'm frequently annoyed by online personalities that grew up very well off, that don't have kids or people to take care of in their lives except themselves talking about how they're the only ones making sacrifices and doing the hard work.

Wow! I thought this was an old episode but it's a new one! It's an insightful conversation.

I finally finished college which due to financial reasons was hell to get through. I was never able to balance fitness, college, work and my relationship with my gf while living with my parents. I had to make the decision to finish college no matter what. It’s been difficult to decide to get back in shape no matter what but this clip reminded me that I have the ability to make that decision.

Wow, this conversation is a goldmine of wisdom! 🌟 The analogy of facing challenges as slaying dragons on the path to the treasure really hit home for me. It's refreshing to hear the honesty about the initial struggles and the reminder that the beginning is the hardest part. Alex's perspective on protecting your passion and becoming the hero of your own story resonates deeply. I'm curious, how do you all navigate the tough times and stay motivated on your journey?

Hormozi being associated with Grant Cardone is all i needed to.know

I've never seen someone with a better attitude towards challenges than alex hormozi

the passion paradox is such a great insight

You guys helped me realize I was just being a b***h. Thank you for making this podcast seriously thank you

Based on the title I expected this to be some shallow "pull yourself by the bootstraps" speech. Clicked it out of morbid curiosity, but was pleasantly surprised. What I took out of this video was the whole idea of being 'the exception', and how the journey of being one is meant to be lonely. It's meant to be hard, which is all the more reason to undertake it.

As a photographer, I was well impressed with Chris' videography knowledge there.... And it makes sense, the show is well lit, and looks great. Definitely has that cinematic touch.

Great content Chris! Deep! Love it!

in conclusion 'life is all about having the right gear.'

*VERY easy to say when you're cycling/ on TRT.*

I love listening to back stories, it gives one perspective of where you currently are in your journey. It’s almost like the journey is internal when you’ve reached a checkpoint that seems like a dead end and you feel like giving up. It’s conversations like this that give you the “Hey, just keep at it I’ve been in the same place and made it out. It’s just a level you’ll have to pass and endurance is the cheat code” vibes

Love these dudes on gear who act like going to the gym is such a fucking acheivement.

These men surely think highly of themselves, don't they?

I hope 2024 will be the year of life coach bros having kids and raising a family. Is anyone else tired of hearing how important relentless grinding is? What's the point if you don't have a family.

Chris, this just completely changed my entire view on how to run my business. I started in 2018 and have been thinking about giving up but then I listened to this. I’m going to tell the story someday of how this clip from a podcast of someone who I’ve never met completely changed my mindset to better my business and ultimately my family’s quality of life. Thank you is not enough. We will meet someday and I will shake your hand.

This hits deep.

From my perspective the true test of a man is when he gets married and has children. How he deals with that will define his strength or weakness.

Thank you!

bro these podcasts look so dang cool

Alex is my favorite business philosopher. "These small lonely battles, that seem to have no reward will eventually be arrows in my quiver to slay the bigger dragon". What a time to be alive.

Dude. Chris. Im sharing the SHIT outta this. THANK YOU!!!

Nailed it.

Kind of like hitting the gym, without TRT without gear… you know the hard way. Unlike 99% of gym bros who do what everyone else does…

So darn true, as a 49 year old everything that am proud of has been hard, most of it outside my comfort zones at the time. Enjoyed letting being outside my personal comfort zones to become comfortable.

Yes. To those opening statements.

I just feel like i don't care about anything anymore. Nothing is worth the effort.

How can you have such a fakey on your show? What a great advert for truthfulness.

Tren hard

“You’re looking around to see who can help you and you’re like f*ck it’s me, again” 😂🔥 sooo true!!

The last second is hilarious!! 😂

Just needed to hear this right now! Was sitting in bed, 12 feet away from my wof desk, feeling guilty about not making cold calls, and fantasizing about jumping off a bridge. I am sad that my gf dumped me and all my friends just want to drink/party but I believe now is the time for me to dig my heels in and embrace the loneliness. I know what my financial goals are and I will do whatever it takes to achieve them. Thanks Hormozi

As in life, everything is a balance...you can go to far either way.

POSITIVITY IS NECESSARY, MOTIVATION IS NECESSARY BELIEVING IN ONES SELF IS NECESSARY, BUT THE ACTUAL WORK..........THATS MANDATORY!!!!!!" Just do the work even if no one believes in you, just do the work. Results are the name of the game.

It's crazy... i swear to god I remember hearing a vid where c Chris talks abut something being hard to acquire often tricks people into thinking its valuable. Now i hear him circle jerking about doing things because they are hard It is what it is.

Can't wait for the full episode to drop

Cheers for the inspiration guys 🔥

On repeat.

I'm at work right now and I'm 22 and carrying heavy trash bags. It's hard but it's worth it because it gives you a purpose.

I shared the last talk these had like I was on commission, buzzing for this

I saw this and the first thought that went through my mind was oh wow! Alex is the next wolverine lol

You’re too different to the friends you have but not successful enough to be with the friends you want to be with. 🔥

Excited for Monday's wpisode

“No one roots for the person that needs it the most” Holy shit that hit me like a truck.

One can only wonder what sort of different world we'll live in if people such as Chris & Alex become world leaders.

Alex Hormonezi

Bravo, Chris! I'm hanging on every word of this conversation - the value is unreal 🔥🔥

Freaking Amazing! Thank You!!

6:27 Gets me through life trying to build my business. It's just me with a stick lol

Hormozi looks like Super Mario with that hat😅but super excited for this episode

Zero credibility. Classic example of survivorship bias and influencer marketing (i.e. adds nothing to society). All front - he is the product, not anything he does or makes. Plus he's on TRT at 30 (which cuts across his entire point of doing the "hard things") - nobody needs to be on TRT at 30 unless you're angling to put yourself forward as some kind of hard man when you're not. He's soft, all talk and has nothing useful to tell any normal joe out there trying to make it, because his whole story is a construct with nothing truly real about it.

Know whag would be harder? Getting jacked without steroids.

So welcome. Grateful for this.

I needed this🗿

Thank you gentleman for all that you do. I look up to you both. Cheers!

7:30 “Fuck its me again” felt that

Thank you this helps a lot

I know it's really hard for a lot of people who have been suffering and struggling and hurting trying to better themselves and succeed and build a business or get shredded or get a degree or accomplish anything in life really, but the best thing that you can do is recognize that this is how it is. You're not uniquely being persecuted this is just normal difficulty when trying to build something or accomplish anything. Subjective experiences may vary but it just fundamentally doesn't matter. You may be crippled in some way and it may be particularly impossible for you to achieve a certain goal. In that case what you need is not encouragement but charity. If that is the case for you, then recognize your position and be grateful and humble that we live in a time of such incredible superabundance that those of us that can do support you. If that's not you, bitching about how tough it is for you or how jacked Alex is because he's on gear, it doesn't matter. If you want his physique then get on gear and hit the gym five times a week. If you can't afford it build the kind of business that would enable you to afford it. Oh guess what look at that you have some goals ahead of you now, and if you're starting from ground zero, it will likely take you years and it's going to suck really hard and you will be beaten down and beaten down again and again and again as you're attempting to reach your goal. Oh wow, look at that, we have come full circle, that's exactly what Alex and Chris are saying.

1:25 and I already liked this one. You two have such an awesome dynamic! Looking forward for the full version. Thanks!

Those arms do not look like they are purely the result of hard work. They look like hormone-filled balloons.

So let me guess…work hard?

Yo that F*CKED me up “people only root for those who don’t need it.” In the underground music scene nothing more truer has been said

Can't wait for the episode

Am I stoned or are the speak pauses overdramatic long :D. Nice podcast! love both of u guys!

Why would any man aspire to look like a popcorn, is beyond me.

The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact

“Everything worth doing is hard” if it’s hard do it, it means no one else will do it.”

This is what I tell myself about combat sports.. gotta be honest though it’s as hard as it gets and the payoff at least monetarily is not there. The ROI on other hard things are drastically larger.

'Stop being a bitch about hard things!', takes steroids as a short cut. Not really sure I need to hear from this guy.

Does Jeff Cavalier know how jacked Jesse has become?

I want that skool hat

I was surprised to get takeaways right from the start, but this was a gift. Thanks for the great podcast.

How can a guy on roids talk about people avoiding hard things and shortcuts?? If you want hard, bro, try getting big without the juice and then try to handle the mental struggle of not making it.

This hit me today. Thanks Chris.

Holy shit. It's Jessie from Athlean-X!

Crazy time to be alive

Muchas gracias eres de gran ayuda, aunque creo que estás exagerando un poco con el gym bro, jaja. Abrazo.

Chris Williamson really is Derek Zoolander
