THE FUTUR
About this episode

At the age of 21, Leila Hormozi moved to Southern California intending to build a career in fitness. With limited resources and little knowledge and experience, she achieved the status of top-selling personal trainer in the region. She realized early on that truly understanding sales was the vital skill that would distinguish her from others. She dedicated herself to learning and refining her skills, which allowed her to maintain her top-selling trainer status until she met her future husband, Alex Hormozi. She then pivoted to work with him in a business focused on helping gyms succeed. This business became wildly successful, leading to the start of several more businesses. Eventually, Leila and Alex formed Acquisition.com, a holding company for their businesses and a platform for investing in others.

In the first of a two-part interview, Leila sits down with Chris to discuss her story - growing up in a dysfunctional household, leaving for Southern California to pursue her destiny, meeting her husband and business partner, and evolving from a personal trainer who was just trying to figure out sales to pay her bills, to running a business that generates tens of millions of dollars in revenue each year. Her insights come from hands-on experience, leading to her ultimate philosophy - "Do stuff you like with people you like, and do more and more of it".
