If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $200,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
How I got here…
21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of Skool.com to help the many people who want to start a business online do so.
Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).
To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.
You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.
this man is so in love he doesn’t even know it. he’s beyond in love
So comfortable with her, true love.
People love to make up fairytales
@@masterchief5833 it’s a survival mechanism reality sucks azz
Really? Sounds so boring I would die
I don't think they have sex. all this dude wants is money. his pee pee doesn't work.
What? Dude just described and defined the meaning of true love. "I found myself wanting to see her again..whatever i was doing i wanted to do with her..shared missions were alligned..when I lost everything I won't blame you" and she said "if i have to sleep under a bridge with you, i will". That's pure LOVE.
*Edit*- whoa, 29k likes. This has never happened...thanks you guys. (Monday 27th Feb 2023 monumental!💯)
@SierenGreenwalt hahaha
that’s cash money baby
Marriage is a business contract. He is the the first that gets it.
@SierenGreenwalt Nah he played himself. I’m glad he found a keeper though 😂
@@ajtwn His seems legit though. Probably signed papers but I rarely see couples that are this honest in helping each other reach goals
That was the coldest way to define true love I’ve ever heard.
Coldest? I'd argue the best way
@@nekesamichelle1400sometimes coldest is best
He's logical
unemotional... just logical
Capricorn
Got married not because you were in love… goes on to describe the deepest form of love….
@Thomas B camaraderie is part of love... love isn't just about being infatuated with someone.
Id argue its not. Its more profound when both people are aware of what it is, and they are still powerless. This guy is just being ignorant about the fact
@@slingshott7155 should tell it to the guy who just got married to the love of his life without knowing it😝
@@andrekvam7897 I think it started out as more business but fell deeper and deeper in love with each other without him even realizing. And he must be giving her hard hitting orgasms because only that will make a woman say I’ll sleep with u under a bridge if I have too. Sorry. Money runs out girls leaves. If she still stays, sex has to be that good. He def a master of the tongue.
I love that the guy says he had no romantic feelings and the goes on to innocently describe romantic feelings without realizing it. “She’s cool and I just wanted to see her again and I’d rather do what I was doing with her, but I didn’t have any romantic feelings “ love it! Solid clip
🥺
The difference is it isn't the stereotypical romantic feeling of like butter flies or nerves.
He didn't lust after her....which he previously thought "lustful feelings" = "romantic feelings".
@@spikeboy101 yeah you can want to hang out with someone platonically, but saying everything I do I want to do with this person is not platonic.
@@cthefro oh, nah I was replying to the original poster
See that's the crazy thing is that's not a business transaction. They literally just described a real healthy relationship with a sense of commitment and loyalty to each other. It wasn't all about how hot she was or how hot he was or how much money he can make or blah blah blah blah they chose to love each other
This is the perfect relationship what else could you want
idk who this guy is but it sounds like he thinks men can only fall in love with a 10. it's like he doesn't wanna admit he loves her out of shame? I don't know enough but off the bat that's what it seems like
@@teenacharm I understand what you're getting at but I'm not sure that is what he was actually expressing. I think he was saying that there was no romantic attraction at the beginning of the relationship.
@@2g_jordan809 I see. I guess it's confusing because it's not very common to separate the desire to see someone again from Romantic attraction.
@@teenacharm yeah I totally get it. I come from a Christian background so I was raised with different definitions of love and also a different mentality when it comes to marriage, but when I look at the secular world the definition of love and marriage is very romanticized and based off feelings. So it is odd to see a relationship like this. Here's something to think about, this is the definition of love given by one of my favorite pastors. "Love is an act of the will, accompanied by emotion which leads to action on behalf of its object."
People today don’t know what love is anymore everything he’s describing is love
companionate, not passionate
Just having passion isn't love. It's part of love but what he's describing is what love should be all about
People only know about "physical" these days
People didn’t know this in the past either
A sage once told me that it is not looking longingly into each others eyes but rather both focused on the same horizon. Bravo to you both.
Idk what you mean... but if you say "whatever i was doing, it was better if she was there"... thats litteraly the definition of love. Not everyone feels love the same.
Exactly, just because it wasn’t a Disney fairytale version of life, doesn’t mean it wasn’t genuine
Man just tryna sound different its hillarious
Love is chemicals and poetry. Shared mission, is something else. Enjoy your next divorce.
you can't say love has a definition and it's different for everyone. literally counterintuitive
“That’s literally the definition of love” and “Not everyone feels love the same” are contradictory. You don’t know what you’re saying.
Dream big get big calves....
100%
My goal in life is to have big calves.
@@zoned3mon838 if I can manage to have big calves, then earning $100 million like Alex is easy
Sorry, I just can't take advice from someone wearing knee socks and jorts...
As someone with gigantic calves, they’re 100% genetic.
"I wanted to see her" "we had the same goals and wanted to complete them rogether" "if we have to sleep under a bridge I will still be with you" brother that's love lmao. That's just a healthy relationship.
Actually not love, but they are just mature!
Nah bro they r just good roomates
That’s the kind of love that lasts. Y’all built a partnership first. No romantic emotions to confuse and blind life’s situations. When you do grow to love each other your bond will be that much stronger. 👏🏼🤗🖤🖤🖤
There weren’t sexual feelings and often we mix up the two. He was genuinely interested in working with her and having a purpose mate and love grew from that. This reaffirms the need to find your purpose before a partner. Because he knew his purpose, he knew what wouldn’t work for him romantically and he stood on that. This is beautiful
they f*ck now though, that’s for sure
*The real connection doesn’t come from long meaningful conversations it often comes from the common day to day small talk* ~ Said Psychologist (JP)
Chatting shit
Rightly Said
They say, “Love isn’t only a feeling, but action”
“Love is not two people staring at one another, but staring in the same direction.”
Bro doesn’t even know. Infatuation is falling for someone. True love is building with someone. It’s work, and it’s beautiful.
This is low-key the best love story ever.
If you find a woman who can ignore the jorts, hold on TIGHT!
It made me sad 😭
True
@@StreetPreacherr He can’t fit pants over his giant he-man calves!-stop judging. He is doing the best he can!
No fucking way bro. All I see is men in these comments. Im good on this "love."
Not gonna lie, that sounds like love to the max.
“Yeah nothing romantic, I just wanted to spend all my time with her and really enjoyed her company and appreciated our alike interests”
By his description he gave they’re definitely in love❣️ I think he’s saying it started out as a friend thing/ business whenever they got married but now he loves her because everything he said those are examples literally of love 💕
And lo, he discovered what a part of real love is: I still want to do the things I want to do, I just want to do them with you, too.
I want to so bad
Even if she has an Adam’s Apple
@@jacksonmatteri6154
you want to, but you don't need to
Wondering how his wife feels hearing there was "no romantic anything "...
@@leannhoward7306 - They were on the same page..
They weren’t even “in love,” when they got married - they both say it themselves.
His love language is quality time. This is so my husband. It doesn’t matter what we are doing he just wants to hang out with me.
You don’t want the same? He just fawns over you and follows you like a puppy dog while you change the length of the leash? Yea typical complex of you women, nothing to offer but act like you have it all while your man just grunts and obeys orders

"I didn't have lustful desires for her it was not about her looks but her character, integrity and drive and that was true love. She's been by my side not for what I have but for me."
I fixed your statement for you.
There is no way he wasn’t attracted to her in a romantic way
“If I have to sleep with you under a bridge” damn that hit the spot 💯
Oh yeah? He hit your spot?
@@robertwebb2865 🗿
@@mitsuha4788 These dudes sus 🤨
G spot
Read his book, she was with him when he was struggling, she was there when he succeeded. To me, that’s a real woman. That’s a Queen you keep by your side
That's a business partner, though. What about romance? Sex?
@@leannhoward7306 that’s why so many women fail in relationships Disney fairytale mentality. We currently live in that age. Marriage is about duty not something as volatile like love…
@@Spiderfang-pu2zr you smart
@@leannhoward7306 Romance and sex is just another form of lust. And lust can never be satisfied.
@@mrle1992 love making is not lust. You could completely remove sex and romance from your life and you will still 100% have urges and lustings.
My friend's parents got "divorced" so he could claim his mom's earnings when applying for financial aid in college. Meanwhile both parents still lived together and were still together, they did that so their son would have most of his student debt paid for 💀
That’s pretty badass ngl 😂
Anyone else just looking at those monstrous calf muscles 😂
Was too fixated on meaty thighs 😆
See above....
Can't not.
mine are bigger. and will always be.
didnt even notice... yall on that weird shit
People over romanticize love...my heart swelled when he said companionate and mission aligned
"Doesn't get married for love"
She didn't marry him because he's smart i guess. Who would sleep under a bridge for a business partner, that is love. At least from her.
Or a good calculation on her part.
She knows if she is in love.
We can only speculate.
Someone who is loyal
Chemistry to get it started. Compatibility to keep it going. Shared values and vision to make it last.
This is a form of love. That includes admiration and respect. Building for a future along someone you would fight for. Thru the good and hard times. Marriage is not about lust and attraction. That obviously fades quick when you're talking spending eternity together. It's about trust and survival. Family is then created from that. Love brings it to a maximum level. It's sad to see so many people don't understand what marriage and vows are about.
Thanks Kylie ❤
Sounds like an adult relationship: partnership 🎉 and no BS , congrats you find the right one 😊
He gave her the out card and she stayed, definitely a keeper
This was a good interview thank you for sharing your journey 😎
Not what my love story would look or sound like but good for them. Glad they are happy and successful
My husband and I realized we were aligned in all our goals, dreams etc. then decided to actually date and fell in love. We have an amazing partnership, working on being debt free and starting a family. I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.
This is the definition of a good relationship. You are both honest, love to spend time with each other, want each other to succeed, and will stick out both the good times and the bad.
Marriage IS a business transaction in a way. What most people don’t have- is aligned and shared goals and determination to be together no matter what
Thank you
Him: oh yeah wasn’t for love
Also him: I just wanted to see her again 🥺
I think what he meant when he said he had no romantic feelings for her was that he wasn't lusting after her because he literally just described love lol
lust and romance are completely different things tho
@@theinsidertraderfx_ they are, but a lot of society uses them interchangeably.
I disagree about this being love… this is a shared goal
He said there was no romance. Not that he didn't love her. He didn't sweeten her up is what he's saying he was just being himself
Yes!!
Thanks for sharing this. That was legit interesting.
"Whatever I was doing, I wanted to do with her. "
Nothing describes how men love more than that statement right there.
I always say love is not a feeling. It is a commitment. It is a verb, something you do, regardless of how you feel. It amazes me how many people do not mean what they say when they take their wedding vows. Especially the people who have been married three or four times. like how are you gone promise three or four different people that you’re gonna love them till death? Lol.
Absolutely!
The feeling is what lures you in. But some people need to realize that love is much more than just a feeling. I agree it's hard work, teamwork, & your goals/values need to align with each other. People either rush into it too quickly or have not fully matured as a person so that's why some people grow apart. I've changed a lot since I first got married, but we grew together. Anyway I could go on & on but you guys know what I mean.
Okay, the end made me laugh a bit 'promising 3 or 4 people the same lie 😅'. For real, people need to understand that love is a verb. Just being there in their down moments proves this. Many will bolt at the slightest sight of pain. I think of my mom as I type this because she has taught me that love means seeing the other person through God's eyes. Staying with the person in good times and bad, especially when the person is genuinely in love with you and is willing to learn new things and make the relationship work. When their I LOVE YOU is backed by constant genuine actions of real love, honour and respect for you and all you stand for, then stay with them in the dark times. Encourage them to believe that things will eventually get better, PRAY FOR THEM, and believe in them. Rome was not built in a day...
💯. Desire to be with the person, help the person, and do anything for the person. Not about eyes, hair, figure but companionship and aligned goals. So cool.
I learned this at some point during my first relationship. Even though we broke up, now I have someone whos just as dedicated to supporting me and keeping me in their life as I am towards them. Love is a choice and a promise.
So many relationships don't last because they are shallow, based on looks, status or money with no deep understanding of who the other person is or what they really want out of life. I love this story about real connection!
This story literally is a business transaction and not love lol so what are u talking about
Yeah U fail to realize this is the same thing 😂 bro there is no real relationship apart from the one you have with yourself or maybe some family it’s life
@@ak47theprophecy91 You obviously don't know what love is...there's a BIG difference between LOVE & LUST.
Love the way you put this
His outfit screams “it’s laundry day” 😂
"If I have to sleep with you under a bridge, I will." That's fucking ture love.
It really is. I feel like this about my man.
Turely
This is what love is. I feel like the picture of love is so skewed from movies and music and media like it’s this grand adventure of happiness and passion etc. and as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that a partnership is a business. Love is a business you have to run and consistently work to make better 🙌
This is what I need. Same mission.
A priceless woman!
Good find, man!
If you say this is unromantic just remember that this is how kings and queens married for years and years. Anyone with influence did this, even down to marrying the neighbors daughter to join farm plots. This is a genuinely good idea because Alex and Leila will never fight about money because the premise was set early that they will be monstrously successful.
Because kings and queens?? Lmao 🤦
More likely married their first cousin, to keep the money and power in the family.
Hapsburg Jaw is one outcome of that.
Very good point
@@marlenegold280 Jews and Arabs still do this. Pakistanis and Indians also.
@@Dedicated_.1
I read a story of one family; the grown children were still cared for by their mother. They were severed affected, requiring HUGE amounts of expensive medications, and unable to do much. Trapped by their condition.
My partner and I went to Alex’s gym right before they met and when they got together they just SKYROCKETED! 10x alone and 100x together - incredible couple!
What is the nature of their business exactly?
@@EriPages If I'd try to explain it from top of my head according to my memory, I'd say it is some sort of proven process of setting up a commercial gym, and perhaps some services and marketing that they sell.
Ah, we found him, the man collecting all the leg days the rest of us skip
Now that's someone with you for life!! You give them a way out and their decision is to stay with you. 🤔🤔 That's love.
Yep this is so true 👏 people don’t understand that sexual/ fleeting relationships aren’t what are at the core of a true sustainable relationship. Companionship is truly everything. Having your goals almost 100% aligned and motivating each other to keep working towards these goals, even when the conversation is tough. My fiancé and I own businesses together and we have so much love for each other but what has made us stand the test of time compared to our peers is the fact that we have this natural instinct to be together without hindering each others success. Hope everyone can find this someday.
Me as a janitor : hey wanna come work with me ? 🗿
@@_SarahElizabeth_ you bs lier you will never work as a janitor nor want a janitor because you want to sleep your way up the CEO
Awesome brother good for you
Don’t know why he says it wasn’t love while he simultaneously makes it sound like it was love at first sight.
This is the definition of love. When I was a kid my dad once told me you marry the woman you love not the girl you lust. Always stuck with me.
That is real love. Full stop. Aligned missions.
Only Love will get sleep under a bridge with your partner 😊
That alignment is truly the key.
That’s not business bro. That’s love
thats the type of ride of die relationship i want
Would you take this relationship even if there was no sexual aspect
Finally someone who emphasizes leg day
Best business story I ever heard!
That's love in disguise, my dude.
“If I have to sleep under a bridge with you, I will.” Holy Shit! That got me a visceral reaction from me.
wow super cool! same here I want someone "mission aligned" as well ✨🎗️✨
You both are Awesome!!!
Hey, whatever works. It is all about energy alignment. Energy alignment is love.
Calfs and Crocs. This is a MAN.
I knew I wasn’t crazy for having this mindset!
Love and corresponding commitment to the one you’re *in love* with as a mate starts with always wanting them by your side. People are so overly saturated with such stimulated nonsense that they forget the pure essence of the human condition and what it means to feel connected to someone who has shared interests, values and personality quirks.
If not physically in person, at first, a day will never go by without thinking of them and what life would be like if in your presence at that very moment in time. This ruminating example will repeat itself throughout the day.
His reflection of when things got financially rocky also says it all. It doesn’t matter because you both know everything will be ok and will get back to stability. There’s no hesitation or fear. You’re a team and each other’s co-captains navigating life together because it simply makes sense to without second thoughts.
People overcomplicate love and why missed opportunities run rampant… you know when you know
Compatibility is important. Congrats
Love this!!!
They married when they fell in love. Actually he was in love when he woke up the next day thinking of her.
I love it.
I love that idea of the companionship
That's one that's most amazing type od relationship that exists. At the beginning you need this person to develop yourself and your bussiness and with time this person becomes part of you and evertything that's important for you. Amazing.
I love how he fell in love on the first date and didn't realise it, still doesn't 😀
That calve alone deserves an interview...
I would love this. I love Alex and Leila they seem so real. Alex and I have a similar past but he has over come his down falls. I'm still working on mine.
Hey sorry, but would you help me figure this out? Who are these people?
Just never give up brotha you can get it too. We all can
@LeannaLuna They are self made multi millionaires that give a ton of free advice.
@Tony Yep I need to figure out an amazing offer that will work with more traditional service and retail businesses.
This looks like a Yorgos Lanthimos's sarcastic cartoon love story.... The guy litteraky knows love and calls it business
Mission aligned 🙌💕
You just proved love is a choice.there is no such thing as falling in love ,then you can fall out of love.
Men will describe falling in love as anything other than that lmao. Oh brother…
This is how relationships are supposed to be, a mutual responsibility and dedication, it’s a job, it’s grown up decisions. Sadly modern society is taught that their feelings matter more than their responsibility.
This is definitely 💯 every young man and woman needs to know this information before getting into any relationship.
That's the kind of a relationship that builds strong households and raises good kids.
It is not about being romantic or wanting each other in a physical way.
This is true dedication and duty. Marriage isn’t always about love. So many people live in the Disney generation. Marriage is about duty and aligned goals…for better or worse…
Marriage is about procreation and raising children that don't suck.
The stuff you said is "Disney generation" stuff.
Wow great, good for u.When u with someone who's not nission aligned, it's like ur single,or ur doing it all alone.
this
Mission aligned 👌🏾
This is how my husband and I are as well! We met at at a business meeting and have never looked back!!
True attraction is just being drawn together.
What is being described just feels like deep platonic love to me.
Every relationship is different. You do you, whatever makes you happy!

This ain’t about love, languages, feelings, or intergalactic signs. It’s about getting along and building something. That’s who you want to marry. This dude is smart
