ALEX HORMOZI
About this episode

The actual entrepreneurial cycle (…) It's not a destination. It's not linear. It's cyclical.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares valuable life lessons and experiences in business and personal growth. Topics covered include continuous learning, embracing humility, recognizing the cyclical nature of success and failure, persistence, negotiation skills, and the importance of long-term commitment and focus. He also emphasizes the value of paying to learn from those more successful to accelerate one's own path to success.

Welcome to The Game w/Alex Hormozi, hosted by entrepreneur, founder, investor, author, public speaker, and content creator Alex Hormozi. On this podcast you’ll hear how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, how to keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons Alex has learned on his path from $100M to $1B in net worth.
