ALEX HORMOZI
About this episode

"If you want to build an asset that makes you generationally wealthy, this is for you." In this episode, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares that for most businesses that he's started and worked with, there's a core value driver that must be understood in order to truly scale. And if the entrepreneur does NOT work on this and instead gets distracted on other problems, they won't grow as quickly.

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.
