Full episode with Alex goes live this Monday. Press Subscribe you beauties.

"You only can be inadequate if you go to another level" This resonates. I lost both my fights in a jiu-jitsu tournament yesterday. But I'm proud that I pushed myself to sign up for the sport in the first place and that I signed up for the tournament.

Finally an interview by someone who can match Hormozi conversationally. Excited for this one!

This is 100% true. I have been doing self-improvement for a while and really worked on myself, and I started to feel like an absolute king, then after I MADE even more progress on my physique, mental health, and social skills, I actually started to feel like a lot smaller of a fish as I have started moving to bigger ponds. I'll definitely remember this idea and apply it to my life. Thanks for another amazing video.

"Are there things that the bus driver or the lady who serves you at Whole Foods can relate to you on?" In my experience, everyone has something to teach you, even if it's not the thing they're trying to teach you. Loneliness is more a state of mind that a physical predicament. We feel heard by others when we listen to what they have to say.

Just a reminder that success is what you define it to be, not only net worth and material possessions. Nothing wrong with striving to be the next warren buffet if business is your passion and thats what you truly want. I just want to remind who ever reads this that is okay to want to become a teacher, nurse whatever your passion is and become great in your area. I just think this new standard is making people more ambitious instead of following there life path. Kids rarely want to become athletes for the love of the game, they want the fame and money. Play for the love of the game not the results, if not youll find your self hating the process and not enjoying the results.

I remember this random YT comment about a video on Yo-yo Ma aka one of the greatest living cellists on the planet. Everyone was talking about how kind, good-natured, and humble the guy was while answering random questions about the cello from the internet. Everyone was like how can he be this proficient with his instrument yet still be this modest? Someone replied that you gotta be humble af to reach that level of expertise. You gotta have what it takes to listen to feed back and criticism to actually improve your game. Feed back and criticism aren't gonna come from the things you've already mastered. Alex is saying the same thing. If you wanna be the best, there can be no ego.

Alex is the MAN PERIOD Everything he says is SPOT ON

"the more you learn about something, the more you realize you don't know"💎💎💎

I needed to hear that inadequate statement. FIRE!!!

Random advice: being an entrepreneur is not for everyone. When I was like 20 I always though that I would make businesses and give it my all. I spent a year on that after university and only the realised that it's totally not for me. Now I am much happier being just a skilfull worker. And if you start investing early and with a really good plan that you stick to, money mostly will not be an issue.

The truly successful and satisfied people I know eschew public exposure and actually enjoy living a non celebrity YT social media selfie life. They prefer privacy and solitude over Likes.

Congrats on interviewing Alex. His star is definitely on the rise.

Professionally I'm fighting a lot of former big fish who are now in a larger pond. The amount of ego is unbearable, but the advice of taking on harder fights is solid. This is a professional pain in the ass but it's making me better.

"Success in a lonely road, while failure is a crowded highway."

I need to keep that in mind in regards to jiu jitsu. After I got my blue belt I put a lot more importance on the roll going my way, and I’ve subconsciously avoided the hard rolls because of it.

What a humble guy!

Cant wait for this!!

Love this man.

can't wait for this one to air

Warren buffet also has mentioned that the majority of his wealth is due to maybe only a dozen or so big trades like the one mentioned. Without those few outliers, he would probably be average.

I can't wait for more of this. I am extremely humble, extremely intelligent, extremely good looking, extremely good with people and extremely broke.

"You feel good because you think you beat the level, but then you just keep repeating the level." Brilliantly succinct.

Most influencers aren’t really rich remember that

Interesting perspective. Generally ego is associated with competition so I will have to listen to more of the podcast to understand how he has separated the two. The second half about the philosophy of friends and relationships is very well thought out. It doesn't bother him to leave friends behind but I wonder how the friends feel? My favorite Warren Buffett Quote: “I’ll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It’s addictive. And there’s a fantastic brand loyalty.” Now that is how you make money.

No matter how much success and money he makes, it will never fill whatever is missing in his heart. Hope he figures it out before it ruins him. Friends and family are way more important than an 8 figure portfolio. People always expect this euphoria once they reach a certain goal and realize it doesn't make them happy and ends up making them depressed.

It’s sad to me how obsessed people can be about money. It is what it is.

The main problem is what people think success means !

"If you feel awesome, then you haven't leveled up." 😮Boss 🎉

i can relate. i lost touch with many of my old friends because we have less and less in common as I continue on my career path

Basically saying money is everything

This episode sounds way better than the previous one that featured Leila. Can't wait for the full episode.

The awesome people you know today, you met them because you left the one from yesterday behind. So the awesome people of today will also make room for the awesome people you will meet tomorrow.

how the fuck does this such high quality. My computer still in 1080 and looks like fcking 4K absolutly great job

Feel like Alex is a push the goalpost type. It will never be enough. Great to learn from but wouldn't want to become that.

This reminds me of what you see with individuals who perpetually use smurf accounts in gaming: They feel powerful in only playing against people at a lower skill level.

Warren didn’t have warren to learn from.. wow what a legend . Would love to get him a copy of my book

The ego actually works in identity polarities. It either convinces you that you’re the worst of the worst (victim) or the best of the best (god). Both can be dangerous traps, so we must remember to check our ego BOTH ways.

Him saying Charlie and Warren were his heroes was everything I needed to hear to never pay a second of attention to this guy ever

6:15 This might just be me projecting, but I think it's the opposite. A lot of people do understand, which is why they don't act. It's another example of the fear of success. "If I change my habits, my surroundings and the people around me will change as a byproduct of that. And I'm not ready for wholesale change."

Damn. So simple. I've been focusing on being the best, so it keeps me in my small pond. I have to go out and do harder shit.

If you listen to Jung, ego is good because it keeps us protected....but also stuck in what is familiar. For some people it's only lies. Good interview.

AMAZING

Kramer was a pretty big deal in the kids karate class, he even beat a blue belt

I love Hormozi’s wisdom!

Damn man, needed this. Started making 200 and my ego been out of whack lately

Hormozi just needs to write a mindset book.

Hmm… this must be a difference between men and women… cuz I’m not looking for the “next” level, I’m perfectly content dressing this one up as nicely as I can.

I don’t see the full episode in the channel. Anyone has a link to it?

Link to full podcast missing

link to the full podcast please? The link at the end takes me to a different podcast

Many people do not have money or get rich because they have high time preference. If you like to spend money you will never have a lot of it. If you like to save and you understand some fundamental analysis and understand compounded interest there is a good chance you can be rich if you start younger.

For me it's: it's not really hard to beat other people 3:50 it takes time to prove you're exceptional

Where is the full version of this?

Excellent perspective here.

One small correction, Warren Buffett had Benjamin Graham. Plus the game of being a Titan goes back since the days of pharaoh And kings. But in the 20th century, the casual game in America was laid down by Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and many many other entrepreneurs.

Very clever business people don’t need egos, they have earned their skills through learning, a lot of these egotistical characters in business who are loud mouths giving it all that are like that a lot of the time to mask the lack of learned knowledge they have, in other wards you could say they’ve cheated their way to success, but who’s to say which path is right

Warren did have Warren to learn from, Ben Graham. On the contrary to Buffett's environment of stock market growth, future growth will be stifled by population growth rate slowing to a crawl.

I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs. Belinda Owens

My Dad is a multi millionaire and drinks coors lite. He golfs with a guy who collects vintage supercars and drives to the course in a mini van with 200,000 miles on it. Guys who work at the course comment that it’s always guys with crazy cars getting their card denied and chased around for dues.

Humble people don’t think they are humble……..

Ego problem examples: those singers on American Idol who honestly believe they can sing and they’re objectively awful; men who transition in sports to go from mediocre to awesome (notice almost never the other way?!?); influencers who act rich but are not (what Alex talked about) or act natty but are not (Liver King, etc.). Too many examples to list. He’s just saying that in this world where you can both fool yourself and others for some period of time, actual excellence typically exists off the popularity grid. BTW, so does wealth. Many (if not most) wealthy people are not ostentatious. Good discussion, as usual from Chris. 😊

My easy and go to validation is looking how great achievements their employee can get or have. At least, that indicator give me conclusion that their idea about success possible to replicate and not some "exclusive ideas"

I would think the 'the more you learn the less you realise you know' idea is associated with wisdom, rather than 'dunning-kruger effect' which is kind of the opposite? ...perhaps Jeff Bezos is humble? Darth Vader had vulnerabilities and was really struggling to find ways to reconnect with family? Cheerio x

Ooooo... gonna have to listen to this one again with pen and paper in hand... many good quotes and valuable insights. Thanks Guys!

This is next level.

He’s describing narcissist

I thought this was jessie from athlean x😂

Dump friends as you get richer. Cool!👍

Depends on how you define ego. Ego, spiritually speaking, is the false self which is propped up by material gain and success as an artificial construct. Everything about this quest for financial glory is egoic.

It links to the wrong video at the end.

Diogenes of Sinope would laugh so hard at this guy.

What is the actual take home from this video ?

Hormozi's body language at 8:58 was a bit odd. Almost like he wasn't entirely convinced by his own words. Granted, I am no internet psychoanalyst, but it did seem a bit funny to make such a bold statement about being unbothered and yet fail to hold eye contact and have the eyes shift around.

The 'school of life' guy is just a sophist. I would remove his memetic garbage from your mind tbh

Have to love for Hormozi

his “I know it all” vibe is the reason why I can’t take him seriously

I think he is absolutely wrong or at the very least using the term incorrectly. The ego can actually be very, very useful. I think what he is talking about is more related to fear mascaraing as success rather than ego or the false belief that you are at the top already so why bother continuing to improve or learn. Additionally narcissism can be extremely powerful when it isn't based on fear. "Turning now to the actual personality profiles of those in the ranks of the 1 percent, the German authors found these to conform to their theory’s predictions. These high-status and wealthy people were indeed more *extraverted*, conscientious, *emotionally stable (low in neuroticism)*, and were also more open to new experiences, *narcissistic*, and high in an internal locus of control. The personality profile differences held even after controlling for a set of demographic factors, including sex, age, and education." He is confusing ego with masks covering fear. Also sometimes it's better psychologically speaking to be the big fish in a small pond because a lot of our happiness is derived through comparisons. Those comparisons are often automatic, we have mechanisms in our mind that constantly compare us to those around us and modify our mood. That's why a middle class kid from an impoverished country can be happy and a person in a wealthy country can be miserable depending on relative context. Ego is part of your identity and your esteem. It's very valuable on this earthly life, it's just that it has become quite muddled with the recent incursion of eastern philosophies and other definitions that muddle the waters. People also often confuse its meaning because of Buddhism. The breakdown of the ego (personal identity) is often pursued in Buddhism because one of the core beliefs is that we are part of a whole that our identity is much more than just the individual self. There's a bit of, especially recently in the west, demonization of the ego as something to be shunned. It's almost seems to me like a signal of status, like a person wants to believe they are "above" the ego. No one who is alive is above the ego, at least by definition. Additionally, as a side note, the Dun Kruger effect is inversely correlated with IQ. " e·go noun a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance. "a boost to my ego" Similar: self-esteem self-importance self-worth self-respect self-conceit self-image self-confidence amour propre PSYCHOANALYSIS the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity. PHILOSOPHY (in metaphysics) a conscious thinking subject."

Why is the light is so harsh here? Way too much contrast on the faces. Why are highlights overblown so much. Looks very cheap and amateurish. Jocko and Goggins podcasts look SO much better in comparison to that

i mean to each his own man

Yuck all that bass on the mics make it difficult to listen, make them more clear...

Any idea who the biggest fish is?

Come on take it easy, slow down a little bit... Don't end up like the working Bees!

Always am very conflicted with Hormozi's content. He's come out against having kids as important to him, is on Testosterone in his 20-30s and just has a very unrelatable story (Went to California with $50k and just learned on the job and made millions). He has good nuggets and speaks well but I just never can relate to him and can't see his advice being a one fits all for a huge amount of people! Big fan of you though Chris, keep it up king 👑

Ego is an impediment to see the Truth about yourself.

My only opponent is the person I walk with everyday

'Warren didn't have Warren to learn from'

Life is short ,what's the point when all you need is a certain amount of money to be happy

Didn't know liver king had a son.

thanks for the tips homeless man

Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger your heros? Are you fucking kidding me? 😂

It could be because this video is taken out of context of a longer conversation, but after watching this 10 minute clip, this Alex guy comes across as a really shallow person

Not clear what this guy's point is, other than here's a few examples of billionaires that don't seem really alpha

Beard Hulk is right

There are multiple games to play (beyond business and money) so it’s OK to play a mediocre business game if you excel at another game.

💜

Liver King has a little brother?

Rent keeps me poor
