Leila Hormozi
About this episode

Welcome to BUILD The Operator, hosted by Leila Hormozi and her co-host, Sharran Srivatsaa, President of Acquisition.com. This show isn’t about strategy in the clouds. It’s about execution on the ground.

In this episode, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) and Sharran (@Sharran) break down what it actually takes to build a high-performing company culture inside Acquisition.com and beyond. From how they approach hiring and team reviews, to why writing memos is non-negotiable, to spotting and correcting ego-driven behavior in leadership, this is the real operational playbook they use every day.
