About this episode

Thinking about selling your company? 24 founders told us what really happens after the wire hits. — joinhampton.com/exit-report


Inside Alex Hormozi’s decade-long climb from $0 to $200M+.

Here’s what we talk about:

  • A transparent breakdown of his $200M+ net worth: $95M in liquid assets, $100M+ in illiquid equity
  • The Gym Launch explosion: from near-bankruptcy to $42M in distributions and a $31M cash sale by age 31
  • Why selling made him feel poorer, and why he’ll never cut off his “cash flow firehose” again
  • Launching Acquisition.com the day after his exit to build a “forever business” using capital, skill, and leverage
  • His high-yield side plays: hard money lending, minority equity deals, and how he’s made six figures a month in interest alone
  • Lifestyle spending habits – including losing a $20M Vegas dream home
  • Why most founders shouldn’t bank on an exit, and the slim statistical odds of selling successfully
  • The mindset shift he’s working on now: being in a better mood regardless of success, stress, or circumstances
