Leila Hormozi
About this episode

“You have to define what the values mean and what they mean in terms of behavior.” Today, join Leila (@LeilaHormozi) as she guests on Leveling Up with Eric Siu to share her unique approach towards accountability, talent nurturing, people management, and growth strategies. She emphasizes the importance of values in cultivating a winning culture within an organization and making everyone in the business feel like they're aligned with the company's mission. She takes us through her 'first principles' approach to problem-solving and discusses how treating the business as an experiment can lead to significant breakthroughs. This is part 2 of the interview.

Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
