Found Mr.Alex a year ago Found Mr.Chris at that time as well, Been hustling to become the better version of myself alone. Been showing and sharing news about these two with my mom. A Month ago she passed away and left us. I was at work hustling, Listening to Mr. Alex Now today I'm still hustling it's 11:25am I just sat down to work alone Saw this and clicked. To everyone who is hustling, You will win. IT DOESN'T GET BETTER, YOU DO. Keep being you keep doing you The world is cruel but be kind & you will win. Thanks for exsisting Mr. Chris & Mr. Alex You are saving me.

Hi, when Hormozi says he now just says no to people or things if he doesn't want to do it. how do you think he would handle that thought in his own company if a more quailified person asks him to to something? I think if you going to practice something it needs to be tested in a difficult situation. My thinking is what the extent of use for this one and if it is not carried out doesn't that mean you are not authentic?
@@b_donoit’s more simple than that. If you have the ability to say no; and yet you choose to still say yes. You are not the one who owns your time. And if you don’t own your time, you own nothing.
Recently broke up w my girlfriend (1.5 months ago), after doing a load of personal/emotional development work over the last 3 years, I've been able to come out of the relationships basically unscathed, untouched. Have had so much emotional power to focus on what matters to me, and avoid all disempowering feelings. Noticed that the world is constantly trying to reinforce you back into believing that you are "going through" some break up, or should be feeling bad in some way. Appreciate the two of you getting together and reinforcing my recent experience positively. Always happy to listen to the gladiators in the arena of today, Hormozi and Chris.
Totally agree with your labelling of Hormozi and Chris as "gladiators" of today. They don't get enough recognition for their wisdom and mastery of self and life. This is a knowledge orientated world - that's the price of ease; complexity.
LIST of 17 QUOTES Discussed in this Video 👇 0. “Hard things are hard, that’s why they’re hard” (0:00) 1. “The biggest risk to your future isn’t your competition, it’s the distractions you insist on keeping in your life rather than doing the things you know you should be doing but aren’t.” (0:06) 2. “Bad things don’t come in threes. Bad things happen, people don’t know how to cope, and they allow one bad thing to snowball into more. Bad stuff sucks, the only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many good things.” (09:09) 3. “Successful people see opportunity in every failure. Normal people see failure in every opportunity. Both are right, only one gets rich.” (13:18) 4. “You once wanted the life you have, and if you don’t like the life you have, you probably won’t like the one you want but don’t have either.” (23:52) 5. “We don’t rise to the standards we have when others are watching, we fall to the standards we have when no one is watching. The only work that really matters is the work that no one sees. It shows you who you really are rather than who you say you are.” (31:14) 6. “If you want revenge for the bad things that have happened in your life, start with the version of you that hasn’t lived up to your potential” (42:03) 7. “Everyone is jealous of what you’ve got, no one is jealous of how you got it” (46:47) - Jimmy Carr 8. “There’s a saying that if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that is a total croc. You will work harder than you ever thought possible but the tools will feel light in your hands” (53:43) - Tim Cook 9. “Why I hate being around negative people: Being an asshole is a weak person’s idea of strength. Complaining is their connection. Never let yourself be held back by other people’s fears. People criticize what they are afraid to do themselves because bold action reminds them of their own inaction. If you are afraid of being criticized, why do you care about the opinions of those who are too timid to do it themselves? If you are the criticizer: Does tearing down someone who has the courage you lack make you better?” (1:01:24) - Mark Manson 10. “Reminder for anyone internally debating weekend plans. If you don’t want to go, don’t go. If they care whether you go or not, they don’t care about you. If they care about you, they don’t care if you go or not. Just because you have free time, doesn’t mean anyone who asks for it is entitled to it” (1:08:07) 11. “Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on a conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…” (1:32:02) - Timothy Leary 12. “There’s no perfect way to live your 20s. You either live them up and become an underskilled 30-year-old, or you work them up and become an underlived 30-year-old. You just have to figure out which you’d rather be. Accept the tradeoff and know that there are no do-overs” (2:03:44) 13. “You really can solve a lot of male problems by getting in shape and making money. You still have problems they’re just smaller and you have more resources to handle them. The world is there for the taking for anyone who can learn from their mistakes, do what they say they were going to do, and stick with it even if it’s not sexy. What used to make a man acceptable now makes you extraordinary. The bar for winning has never been so low.” (2:16:53) 14. “How to avoid tons of problems in life: go to bed on time” (2:25:00) 15. “Having a clue is overrated. There’s this funny myth that people actually know what they’re doing. I’ve spent time around some of the richest, smartest, highest-status people on the planet, and let me tell you: It’s idiots all the way up. Normalize saying ‘I don’t have a clue, I’m going to work out how to do it anyway’.” (2:31:59) - Chris Williamson 16. “A lot of self-work can be summarized into: Thoughts aren’t true, feelings don’t require actions, things aren’t good or bad, they just are. Our greatest enemy is ignorance. To change your life, change your surroundings. Our actions, not our pasts, define who we are.” (2:34:28) 17. “I have led a toothless life. A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on, and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone.” (2:55:36) - Jean-Paul Sartre Quick closing disclaimer: I've transcribed most of these quotes by hand, there might be a couple of errors as English is my strong second language. Most of the quotes that weren't directly associated with an author are either from Alex Hormozi, or an author I do not recognize. Cheers!
I don't think taking the time to think should be taught half as hard as pushing the idea that just because there's a pause in a conversation, it needs to be filled with words. 100 times a day I'll listen to people double back on the things they said for emphasis... but no, bro, I heard you the first time. I just need to let my brain process with clarity what you just said. Teach listening first. Then teach how to speak.
I have listened to this on Spotify, then watched it here on RUclips, and I am probably going to watch it again tomorrow to write down each of these points as I hear them. Too many people make excuses for their lives being how their life is. I am tired of being that person. It's like the voice in our heads justifies inaction towards the direction of our goals these 24 listed items are methods of squashing our own ineptitude. I urge everyone, who wants to make positive changes in their life, to do the same. Much love, thank you Chris, you wonderful Brit. We Americans are lucky to have had you move here.
My favorite episodes of yours are always with Alex. He’s wealthy, humble, compassionate, and philosophical. He’s like a jacked Buddha that decided to become a CEO and wear crocs lol
@@youngbahss3220 The result might be the same but the initial input are different. Jumping off a cliff and falling off a cliff are different situations that lead to the same outcomes.
"If I can't trust your no, how can I trust your yes?" I personally think that simplistic phrase should be quoted. It's something that is sooo deeply rooted and overlooked. Please quote it Chris
I so love that Alex Hormozi talked about the “Trajedies always come in threes” nonsense. When I hear someone say a version of this, and am tempted to weigh in, my Irish Grandmother’s words “A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still” remind me to save my breath.
This kind of things being free is the best thing about youtube. This legit feels like psychology session, but free. So many insights and new perspectives.
🧠My favourite resonating ideas in no specific order: Definitions: Learning: Same condition different behavior Intelligence: Speed, rate of learning Motivation: The equal opposite of deprivation, we are most motivated when we are deprived of something. SADNESS: the *perceived* lack of options Anxiety: many options but no priorities. Scattered but can’t decide. 1. We need to be reminded more than we are taught. Remind yourself of all the best productivity advice you learned, instead of consuming more of the same. 2. People are attracted to authenticity: true alignment of what you think, say, and do. The hardest part is realizing our thoughts are fucked, and we have to fix them instead of faking the next two. 3. The leading indicator of a succesful person is the ability to act without anything happening. 4. Being directionally correct is more important than having a perfect clear path. Often taking the first step illuminates the next. Bias towards action. 5. How to filter good from bad content: can they break it down to what actions you must take specifically? 6. Regarding learning definition: Every time you read, listen, or watch something, in order to learn, ask yourself: What behavior am I going to change based on this content? 7. Best framework for hard times: The bigger the dragon, the more epic the story, the more epic the hero 8. Hyper proponent of narrow single focus - extend time horizon for goals. Choose one !PRIORITY for that PERIOD of your life - instead of a scattered attempt at 10 projects with no output. 9. All you have to do to fix sadness is figure out what you need to do, and that is your option, figuring out what to do 10. How to avoid tons of problems in life: go to bed on time (Bedtime alarm) + swap your 3-5 most common meals with healthy ones = King of the world 11. NORMALIZE SAYING: “I don’t have a clue, but I am going to figure it out anyway!” 12. 95% of Self-work a. Feelings don't require action: Create a gap (TIME) between your impulse and behavior b. To change your life change your surroundings: Want to change x, y, z = compare yourself to succesful doers of x, y, z. 13. Ultimate hack for the ones who make content: Just tell the truth, you will make so unique content. Just say what you really think adds value. a. Don't be scared of saying your opinion
I have listened to this podcast 5 times and each time I listen I get something new from it. You both are modern day sages and I can't believe that I'm looking up to younger men! One day I think I will transcribe it word for word and commit it to memory. These words I have written cannot describe how much I love this.
I love this guy!! Not that hes smart and wealthy, but has this wisdom in him. He constantly seeks new ways of getting better in any area of life. He is a real man. Guys learn from and aspire to be like him.
A real man is just some neoliberal, performance-robot driven by a sheer urge to horde material wealth and inflate their egos through ruthless acquisition? If you say so…
I am relatively new to the realm of productivity and self help but already feeling at times I counterintuitively waste time on it losing the gains it has given me. Alex saying how many podcasts am i going to listen to before i change my behaviour was a real wake up call to me. We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. I dislocated my shoulder in november last year when i was ice-skating. I saw my glycated hb and was worried I was close to pre diabetes. I got used to my new sedentary lifestyle for 2 weeks by modifying my diet. I have lost 12 lbs in 7 weeks and am close to my goal weight. I have other impending deadlines I need to meet in the coming month and feel like shit about them. I'm going to remind myself of ability to transform the shitty situation into a positive one. I'm sharing this because I want to come back to this comment in a couple of months and think I did it. This podcast was brilliant but to implement the brilliance of it I'm going to reduce the amount of podcasts I listen to and increase my inputs. I want to 7x my week and I am going to. Not in an hour, not tomorrow, not next week- im going to do it now! I'm going to print quotes from this podcast and stick them on my wall in my office . Then when I am reminded of how tough things are, this will on balance reminded me that I can use what i have to flip the situation and make it happen for me. Thank you so much Chris and Alex!
And he has that bad-ass cool 1980’s death metal look. I wish he would do the long horizontal curls in his hair and beard like a Persian warrior just before he severs the head of his Greek enemy.
The only reason someone could hate him is that they dislike how he lives his life, and see it has judgement on how they should live theirs (which he talks about in the episode as well)
It’s fun around the 2 hours and 50 minutes mark listening to two super intelligent and talented people almost realizing it…… Is GOD fellas! We are also blessed to be able to listen to conversations like this!
"The way Alex defines words like behavior and intelligence is nothing short of breathtaking-it feels like a revelation that changes how you see the world. Chris, could you please create a video just centered on how Alex articulates these ideas? It was incredibly powerful and truly unforgettable."
This took me more than a week to digest. 2 sentences alone can be compacted with a day’s worth of knowledge. I have to watch this every month because I’m sure there are more gems in here that flew over my head 😮💨😮💨
2:12:54 Sadness : is perceived lack of options, you don't know what options are available Anxiety: many options but ko priority, you feel scattered you can't decide
Alex has focused his channel on business. Thank you Chris for giving him a space where you both can discuss these topics that can apply to all aspects of life. You both have an impact well beyond what you could possibly imagine.
This is my first time watching Alex. I was really struck by the length of his contemplative pauses before he speaks. I think most people would feel awkward pausing for that long, but after watching him I'm convinced that this only emphasizes the weight of the words he ultimately chooses. Also love his tone of voice when he speaks. It's soft, but it doesn't detract at all from his strong presence. You can tell he's as authentic as they come -- I will be watching more from him!
Just two jacked dudes talking philosophically. I love it. Thought - how many of the world views you both have here were shaped in part by getting and maintaining a great physiques? I'd argue a lot. The gym has so much to answer for. Thank you Chris and Alex
Alex is definitely my favorite guest. He throws so many bombs every time. Thank you Chris for these moments and for not giving up when your podcast made no views.
Again, love Alex Hormozi Chris ! Thankyou ! for bringing him back. It`s so interesting that I am not a business person and yet I love what Hormozi says ! He is clearly intelligent and experienced, but his thoughtfulness is what I like the most ! I like it when he pauses and looks up to the right ! He`s one of the good guys ...:)))
3 and 1/4 pages of notes from this podcast ep, so so amazing. I watched it over 3 sessions so I could give it my full attention. One of the best I've listened to :)
@@ChrisWillx I cannot begin to imagine that it matters or helps in reality. It was more along the lines of just me trying in some small way to express my appreciation for what you’re doing. Thank you again very much.
1:56 The distance we can shrink between thinking of doing something, and it being done 6:00 figure out the input that gives you the output you want, and do it continuously 9:59 Bad things happen all the time, they only become interrelated if you let them affect your behavior 12:07 The more times you do, what is required to get what you want, the more times you get what you want 13:50 All conditions of reality are painful, so if pain is a prerequisite for reality, it becomes irrelevant 14:50 Feeling bad has zero correlation to your performance in the gym 23:53 You once wanted the life you have, if you don't feel great right now, it's probably not because of the life Your wants today won't have much of an effect on your happiness 27:28 Hard work is the goal. The only real output we have is who we become along the way 28:59 The best days of my life were ones I had nothing left in the tank. (watch until 31:15) 36:15 be okay with saying no 42:13 Wherever you point the finger of blame, power follows
I really needed message about distractions and decision making. Lately I've been overwhelmed with duties, house building, young son, work... It was just too much and so I've been delaying things. Thank you.
It was the first podcast I’ve truly studied and applied to my life. It took me 3.5 weeks to go through every chapter and jot down notes, but I’ve gained more from these 3 hours than from listening to 30 different podcasts as mere infotainment while multitasking.
Something to be mindful of with these motivational podcasts, it can make you feel like you accomplished something just from listening. For every part of listening/consuming content, there should be AT LEAST two parts action.
@18:24 What I tell myself, my colleagues, students, mentees, friends, etc. is that anxiety and excitement are biochemically essentially the same and what is more important is our interpretation and how we frame it in our mind.
Alex has some wonder advice, but I am astound of how he views life, questions even the most common thing and goes as far as trying to explain in it (in his own business mentality of course) that mindset truly is something to look up to.
I sooooo damm love the background, the gym setup behind the scenes, constantly guiding you asking you, making you think of the next thing to do and constantly making you stay active, loved it
Felt like awakening many times. Like real awakening.. Thanks. Looking forward to work as hard as I can and deeming myself successful after I zeroed the tank.
I'm so glad your podcasts are so long! This gave me exactly 3 hours to procrastinate from the thing that I should be doing which is just long enough to kill all my free time and save that really important thing for tomorrow. Thank you for helping me reinforce my bad habit while simultaneously keeping me aware enough of it so that I end up hating myself over it! Both bros' voices are so sultry and wise I just can't help myself. "When you put something off, it makes it more mañana, mañana, mañana!" -Chris Williamson "Don't be a powerless bitch!" -Alex Hormozi
It may seem unrelated, but learning golf the last few months has really reinforced how you need to put in the reps if you want success. Can't just sit around and hope to get better at golf. Gotta hit 1000's and 1000's of balls and put in the work. Same for being successful at anything. Sure, there's luck; but it's far better to make your own luck by taking action rather than sit around hoping to get lucky.
I just started this podcast and omg, there's so many snippets of simple but profound thoughts & lessons... It'll take a long time to digest but wow, really needed this. Thank you.
"Enjoy the life you have" is especially thought provoking for me. I keep praying on my knees for every next thing and when I finally get it, it's worthless to me within 2 months, in fact I end up resenting it and praying for the next thing.

What has Alex Hormozi got on his Alex Hornozi
🐐
He’s not talking about Dr. K from Youtubr is he? Who is his Dr K?
2:34:33 Should be 'Actions don't require feelings" not "Feelings don't require actions".
Props to Chris for not cutting out those pauses, it makes this look and feel more authentic, I love it…
Such a refreshing change from the political stuff…
Yes it’s great. It does look a bit theatrical but I like theater.
People are so uncomfortable with silence now and days. When jocko or Chris pauses in their podcasts to let the emotion sink in is so good.
@@idgaf703 Isn't jocko a NAVY SEAL?
I wouldn’t put it past him that he pauses and hell, I’d even say talks in a way that makes it easier to use as clips on RUclips and other social media platforms. Dudes a natural performer.

We’re so good at avoiding what needs doing most huh?
ya know, I was debating cleaning my room today.. you sold me 😂

I was at work hustling, Listening to Mr. Alex
Now today I'm still hustling
it's 11:25am
I just sat down to work alone
Saw this and clicked.
To everyone who is hustling,
You will win.
IT DOESN'T GET BETTER,
YOU DO.
Keep being you

You think our actions define us

7. “Everyone is jealous of what you’ve got, no one is jealous of how you got it” (46:47) - Jimmy Carr
8. “There’s a saying that if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that is a total croc. You will work harder than you ever thought possible but the tools will feel light in your hands” (53:43) - Tim Cook
9. “Why I hate being around negative people: Being an asshole is a weak person’s idea of strength. Complaining is their connection. Never let yourself be held back by other people’s fears. People criticize what they are afraid to do themselves because bold action reminds them of their own inaction. If you are afraid of being criticized, why do you care about the opinions of those who are too timid to do it themselves? If you are the criticizer: Does tearing down someone who has the courage you lack make you better?” (1:01:24) - Mark Manson
10. “Reminder for anyone internally debating weekend plans. If you don’t want to go, don’t go. If they care whether you go or not, they don’t care about you. If they care about you, they don’t care if you go or not. Just because you have free time, doesn’t mean anyone who asks for it is entitled to it” (1:08:07)
11. “Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on a conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…” (1:32:02) - Timothy Leary
12. “There’s no perfect way to live your 20s. You either live them up and become an underskilled 30-year-old, or you work them up and become an underlived 30-year-old. You just have to figure out which you’d rather be. Accept the tradeoff and know that there are no do-overs” (2:03:44)
13. “You really can solve a lot of male problems by getting in shape and making money. You still have problems they’re just smaller and you have more resources to handle them. The world is there for the taking for anyone who can learn from their mistakes, do what they say they were going to do, and stick with it even if it’s not sexy. What used to make a man acceptable now makes you extraordinary. The bar for winning has never been so low.” (2:16:53)
14. “How to avoid tons of problems in life: go to bed on time” (2:25:00)
15. “Having a clue is overrated. There’s this funny myth that people actually know what they’re doing. I’ve spent time around some of the richest, smartest, highest-status people on the planet, and let me tell you: It’s idiots all the way up. Normalize saying ‘I don’t have a clue, I’m going to work out how to do it anyway’.” (2:31:59) - Chris Williamson
16. “A lot of self-work can be summarized into: Thoughts aren’t true, feelings don’t require actions, things aren’t good or bad, they just are. Our greatest enemy is ignorance. To change your life, change your surroundings. Our actions, not our pasts, define who we are.” (2:34:28)
17. “I have led a toothless life. A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on, and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone.” (2:55:36) - Jean-Paul Sartre
Quick closing disclaimer: I've transcribed most of these quotes by hand, there might be a couple of errors as English is my strong second language. Most of the quotes that weren't directly associated with an author are either from Alex Hormozi, or an author I do not recognize. Cheers!
Thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks manh!!🔥🥺
Thanks for the hard work
Thanks man
You guys are an Inspiration for us all! The amount of value you share is unbelievable! I appreciate you guys, you better my life in a lot of ways!
Thank you!
Watched 10 minutes of this interview and already know that l have to watch it twice,
This is called Value
Or dementia🤓
@@DanielKrategl 🤣
@@DanielKrategl 😂😂
Take notes
I felt the exact same way!!! 💯
Straight away Alex pausing before he speaks.. more people need to think like this before speaking 🔥
I noticed this too. I kept thinking there was an add cuing up or something. He’s not in a hurry to get his message across.
Editing video is easier this way 😄
I don't think taking the time to think should be taught half as hard as pushing the idea that just because there's a pause in a conversation, it needs to be filled with words. 100 times a day I'll listen to people double back on the things they said for emphasis... but no, bro, I heard you the first time. I just need to let my brain process with clarity what you just said.
Teach listening first. Then teach how to speak.
I have listened to this on Spotify, then watched it here on RUclips, and I am probably going to watch it again tomorrow to write down each of these points as I hear them.
Too many people make excuses for their lives being how their life is. I am tired of being that person. It's like the voice in our heads justifies inaction towards the direction of our goals these 24 listed items are methods of squashing our own ineptitude. I urge everyone, who wants to make positive changes in their life, to do the same. Much love, thank you Chris, you wonderful Brit. We Americans are lucky to have had you move here.
This 3 hours of a conversation is better than 100 books on self-help ❤
My favorite episodes of yours are always with Alex. He’s wealthy, humble, compassionate, and philosophical. He’s like a jacked Buddha that decided to become a CEO and wear crocs lol
@@pandasdreamlygon Look in the mirror. Where else do you project your misery in your life?
HahahahHh
The UNQUENCHED DESIRE to KNOW and the INTOLERABLE PAIN of NOT KNOWING is the result of this podcast... At its CORE
This is a really gay comment
Desire to know and pain of not knowing are fundamentally the same thing.
@@youngbahss3220 The result might be the same but the initial input are different. Jumping off a cliff and falling off a cliff are different situations that lead to the same outcomes.
These conversations should be broadcasted in schools as part of curriculum .
" You understand the outcome you want, you put your blinders on and you start digging" pure poetry
Agreed
When Chris asks a question or states something, and there is 5-10 seconds of absolute silence, it is so incredibly powerful!
Or makes you think the audio is dead. One or the other.
@@BeefLoverManyeah, or that!
@@BeefLoverManyeh I was like why is that dude so fake and calculating his response so perfectly
"If I can't trust your no, how can I trust your yes?" I personally think that simplistic phrase should be quoted. It's something that is sooo deeply rooted and overlooked. Please quote it Chris
I love the pauses!! And the actually time taken and not edited out while thinking before speaking ❤
I so love that Alex Hormozi talked about the “Trajedies always come in threes” nonsense. When I hear someone say a version of this, and am tempted to weigh in, my Irish Grandmother’s words “A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still” remind me to save my breath.
Chris has been killing it with all these high quality long form interviews! 😊
This kind of things being free is the best thing about youtube. This legit feels like psychology session, but free. So many insights and new perspectives.
🧠My favourite resonating ideas in no specific order:
Definitions:
Learning: Same condition different behavior
Intelligence: Speed, rate of learning
Motivation: The equal opposite of deprivation, we are most motivated when we are deprived of something.
SADNESS: the *perceived* lack of options
Anxiety: many options but no priorities. Scattered but can’t decide.
1. We need to be reminded more than we are taught. Remind yourself of all the best productivity advice you learned, instead of consuming more of the same.
2. People are attracted to authenticity: true alignment of what you think, say, and do.
The hardest part is realizing our thoughts are fucked, and we have to fix them instead of faking the next two.
3. The leading indicator of a succesful person is the ability to act without anything happening.
4. Being directionally correct is more important than having a perfect clear path. Often taking the first step illuminates the next. Bias towards action.
5. How to filter good from bad content: can they break it down to what actions you must take specifically?
6. Regarding learning definition: Every time you read, listen, or watch something, in order to learn, ask yourself: What behavior am I going to change based on this content?
7. Best framework for hard times: The bigger the dragon, the more epic the story, the more epic the hero
8. Hyper proponent of narrow single focus - extend time horizon for goals. Choose one !PRIORITY for that PERIOD of your life - instead of a scattered attempt at 10 projects with no output.
9. All you have to do to fix sadness is figure out what you need to do, and that is your option, figuring out what to do
10. How to avoid tons of problems in life: go to bed on time (Bedtime alarm) + swap your 3-5 most common meals with healthy ones = King of the world
11. NORMALIZE SAYING: “I don’t have a clue, but I am going to figure it out anyway!”
12. 95% of Self-work
a. Feelings don't require action: Create a gap (TIME) between your impulse and behavior
b. To change your life change your surroundings: Want to change x, y, z = compare yourself to succesful doers of x, y, z.
13. Ultimate hack for the ones who make content: Just tell the truth, you will make so unique content. Just say what you really think adds value.
a. Don't be scared of saying your opinion
Thank u!
Thanks man
Thanks!!!
I have listened to this podcast 5 times and each time I listen I get something new from it. You both are modern day sages and I can't believe that I'm looking up to younger men! One day I think I will transcribe it word for word and commit it to memory. These words I have written cannot describe how much I love this.
I love this guy!!
Not that hes smart and wealthy, but has this wisdom in him. He constantly seeks new ways of getting better in any area of life.
He is a real man.
Guys learn from and aspire to be like him.
A real man is just some neoliberal, performance-robot driven by a sheer urge to horde material wealth and inflate their egos through ruthless acquisition? If you say so…
This is huge. Absolutely golden knowledge for 3 hours straight. After this video, I'm gonna lock in.
I have been watching this podcast before it had less 500k subscribers it's just now hit me this most beautiful looking podcast in the world.
This is a gold mine. Time stamp the key principals and come back to this everyday don’t miss a day until you’re paid
I am relatively new to the realm of productivity and self help but already feeling at times I counterintuitively waste time on it losing the gains it has given me. Alex saying how many podcasts am i going to listen to before i change my behaviour was a real wake up call to me. We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. I dislocated my shoulder in november last year when i was ice-skating. I saw my glycated hb and was worried I was close to pre diabetes. I got used to my new sedentary lifestyle for 2 weeks by modifying my diet. I have lost 12 lbs in 7 weeks and am close to my goal weight. I have other impending deadlines I need to meet in the coming month and feel like shit about them. I'm going to remind myself of ability to transform the shitty situation into a positive one. I'm sharing this because I want to come back to this comment in a couple of months and think I did it. This podcast was brilliant but to implement the brilliance of it I'm going to reduce the amount of podcasts I listen to and increase my inputs. I want to 7x my week and I am going to. Not in an hour, not tomorrow, not next week- im going to do it now! I'm going to print quotes from this podcast and stick them on my wall in my office . Then when I am reminded of how tough things are, this will on balance reminded me that I can use what i have to flip the situation and make it happen for me. Thank you so much Chris and Alex!
I love Alex. Love him or hate him, his stuff is based on logic and is often inspiring.
And he has that bad-ass cool 1980’s death metal look. I wish he would do the long horizontal curls in his hair and beard like a Persian warrior just before he severs the head of his Greek enemy.
@@sinesaiislobbing all over it, my goodness.
The only reason someone could hate him is that they dislike how he lives his life, and see it has judgement on how they should live theirs (which he talks about in the episode as well)
It’s fun around the 2 hours and 50 minutes mark listening to two super intelligent and talented people almost realizing it……
Is GOD fellas!
We are also blessed to be able to listen to conversations like this!
"The way Alex defines words like behavior and intelligence is nothing short of breathtaking-it feels like a revelation that changes how you see the world. Chris, could you please create a video just centered on how Alex articulates these ideas? It was incredibly powerful and truly unforgettable."
This took me more than a week to digest.
2 sentences alone can be compacted with a day’s worth of knowledge.
I have to watch this every month because I’m sure there are more gems in here that flew over my head 😮💨😮💨
Drink every time Alex says “and so” 😂 I can’t unhear it. I do love when these two get together tho. Absolute gold
The cinematography of this interview is amazing. Fantastic depth of field, and lighting gradient/colour spectrum on point. Respect!
2:12:54 Sadness : is perceived lack of options, you don't know what options are available
Anxiety: many options but ko priority, you feel scattered you can't decide
Alex has focused his channel on business. Thank you Chris for giving him a space where you both can discuss these topics that can apply to all aspects of life. You both have an impact well beyond what you could possibly imagine.
This conversation is just brilliant. Alex Hormozi truly figured out the game of life.
Also, the chemistry between these two bros.... Such a powerful wisdom unlocked here 🙌
Alex is like our best REAL friend everybody should have
I have watched all episodes ft. Hormozi. It never fail to get me out of a low point. Incredible!
This is my first time watching Alex. I was really struck by the length of his contemplative pauses before he speaks. I think most people would feel awkward pausing for that long, but after watching him I'm convinced that this only emphasizes the weight of the words he ultimately chooses. Also love his tone of voice when he speaks. It's soft, but it doesn't detract at all from his strong presence. You can tell he's as authentic as they come -- I will be watching more from him!
This will kill a nice chunk of my 8hr flight from Heathrow to Nashville. Praying the download finishes before take off 😅
Get it man!
Wow it’s crazy how much I relate 😂
I live in Nashville. See you on Broadway
I've watched a number of these "how to be successful" videos, and this is by far the most informative I've watched. Great job, Chris and Alex.
Just two jacked dudes talking philosophically. I love it. Thought - how many of the world views you both have here were shaped in part by getting and maintaining a great physiques? I'd argue a lot. The gym has so much to answer for. Thank you Chris and Alex
Secret video unlocked😂
He posted this comment before the video became public @HusseinOsmantalks
????
Explain how you put this comment here so early
@@theulmitter5725maybe this video was first released and then made private. Now again released. Comment is edited
@@bherusinghkitawat9933 interesting, so this person found the video in the short time between it being released, and then made private, very lucky
Alex is definitely my favorite guest. He throws so many bombs every time. Thank you Chris for these moments and for not giving up when your podcast made no views.
You two together is just naturally great content every time.
Again, love Alex Hormozi Chris ! Thankyou ! for bringing him back. It`s so interesting that I am not a business person and yet I love what Hormozi says ! He is clearly intelligent and experienced, but his thoughtfulness is what I like the most ! I like it when he pauses and looks up to the right ! He`s one of the good guys ...:)))
Honestly Chris is the most underrated podcaster
Figuring out how to train ourselves to love the climb, if we don’t love the climb.. Priceless.
1:13:27 everything can be defined as skills
1:22:28 defining love
1:32:00 quote
This is your best interview. I wound up having career and financial success young in life and you guys touch on so much of the things I've been thru.
Have been waiting all week for this. Always the best way to spend 3hrs
3 and 1/4 pages of notes from this podcast ep, so so amazing. I watched it over 3 sessions so I could give it my full attention. One of the best I've listened to :)
These two just singlehandedly filled my RUclips Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels altogether.
Thanks!
Thank you!
@@ChrisWillx I cannot begin to imagine that it matters or helps in reality. It was more along the lines of just me trying in some small way to express my appreciation for what you’re doing. Thank you again very much.
Chris and Alex . I love these series.
Fantastic.
Couldn’t digest this all in one. It hit a part of my soul, more and more so as the episode continued. Thank you
1:56 The distance we can shrink between thinking of doing something, and it being done
6:00 figure out the input that gives you the output you want, and do it continuously
9:59 Bad things happen all the time, they only become interrelated if you let them affect your behavior
12:07 The more times you do, what is required to get what you want, the more times you get what you want
13:50 All conditions of reality are painful, so if pain is a prerequisite for reality, it becomes irrelevant
14:50 Feeling bad has zero correlation to your performance in the gym
23:53 You once wanted the life you have, if you don't feel great right now, it's probably not because of the life
Your wants today won't have much of an effect on your happiness
27:28 Hard work is the goal. The only real output we have is who we become along the way
28:59 The best days of my life were ones I had nothing left in the tank.
(watch until 31:15)
36:15 be okay with saying no
42:13 Wherever you point the finger of blame, power follows
Bro do the whole thing you’re goated
I really needed message about distractions and decision making. Lately I've been overwhelmed with duties, house building, young son, work... It was just too much and so I've been delaying things. Thank you.
They're back. Hormozi spitting facts again. Loved the quote "The magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding." Much love Chris. ❤
Every single minute of this is jam packed with value. The wisdom of hormozi is insane
☔ Man , everytime Alex Hormozi links with Chris Williamson , you already know what time it is 🙌🙌
Bro. This probably the best podcast episode Ive seen in the last 10 years. Thank you Chris.
can we get these conversations quarterly? like alex says, we need to be reminded more than taught. and i can use these convos as a reminder!
It was the first podcast I’ve truly studied and applied to my life. It took me 3.5 weeks to go through every chapter and jot down notes, but I’ve gained more from these 3 hours than from listening to 30 different podcasts as mere infotainment while multitasking.
Something to be mindful of with these motivational podcasts, it can make you feel like you accomplished something just from listening. For every part of listening/consuming content, there should be AT LEAST two parts action.
Dopamine hits from this are empty ones compared to the hits from the motivation of doing the work
The amount of positive impact those videos had in my life is beyond my wildest expectations 🙌
I could watch a new one of these every week or month. I re listen to them all the time.
This episode is the GOAT of all episodes of any podcast out there
@18:24 What I tell myself, my colleagues, students, mentees, friends, etc. is that anxiety and excitement are biochemically essentially the same and what is more important is our interpretation and how we frame it in our mind.
Alex has some wonder advice, but I am astound of how he views life, questions even the most common thing and goes as far as trying to explain in it (in his own business mentality of course) that mindset truly is something to look up to.
who's here procrastinating with hormozi instead of doing the work? ha
Great video, as always!
Haha I love it!
I sooooo damm love the background, the gym setup behind the scenes, constantly guiding you asking you, making you think of the next thing to do and constantly making you stay active, loved it
Felt like awakening many times.
Like real awakening..
Thanks.
Looking forward to work as hard as I can and deeming myself successful after I zeroed the tank.
WOW! This podcast episode is going to change the trajectory of my life. Thank yall so much for the wisdom
Chris + Alex + Leg Day = 🔥
I'm so glad your podcasts are so long! This gave me exactly 3 hours to procrastinate from the thing that I should be doing which is just long enough to kill all my free time and save that really important thing for tomorrow. Thank you for helping me reinforce my bad habit while simultaneously keeping me aware enough of it so that I end up hating myself over it! Both bros' voices are so sultry and wise I just can't help myself.
"When you put something off, it makes it more mañana, mañana, mañana!" -Chris Williamson
"Don't be a powerless bitch!" -Alex Hormozi
Really bold that you are leaving out the intros/trailer. 💪💪💪
Absolutely love how Alex took a pause to think before answering. It made me think RUclips was passing way to many times though 😅
I've never clicked on a youtube video so fast. Quality is superb!
That Tim cook quote at 53:50 was soo good!! I love it!!
0:21 pauze is crazy 😂
It hurts so good 😂 I love the Alex videos, minimum 3 times full listen through is required to make sure it all sinks in
It may seem unrelated, but learning golf the last few months has really reinforced how you need to put in the reps if you want success. Can't just sit around and hope to get better at golf. Gotta hit 1000's and 1000's of balls and put in the work. Same for being successful at anything. Sure, there's luck; but it's far better to make your own luck by taking action rather than sit around hoping to get lucky.
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
― Seneca
@@jaywon06 That's true too. Thank goodness for smart phones and tripods! Can get much more effective practice these days.
I love the diplomatic back and forth on some topics.
Great conversation guys!
As a French person, I can't love enough the moment when Alex brags about his "Sartre" pronunciation. By the way, he has good pronunciation.
I just started this podcast and omg, there's so many snippets of simple but profound thoughts & lessons... It'll take a long time to digest but wow, really needed this. Thank you.
This episode is pure gold. I feel bad for anyone who wants to better themselves and hasn’t found this podcast.
An Absolutely POWERFUL conversation... THANK YOU both!
That intro was hilarious🤣
Thanks Chris and Alex for dropping such A BANGER episode full of JUICE❤❤
Fan fact: listening to this series of podcasts gives you 50% productivity boost for 3 months
"Enjoy the life you have" is especially thought provoking for me. I keep praying on my knees for every next thing and when I finally get it, it's worthless to me within 2 months, in fact I end up resenting it and praying for the next thing.
Alex should just make a coffee table book of all the hard truths he has thought of!
