@@MartinMatra You don't seem to understand the quote . Some people expect things to be easy , but when they realize how hard it is they wanna give up , THAT'S what the quote means .
“It’s usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time. It is a slow clap that’s just you just you rooting for you.” Really needed that !! Thanks for this!!
Every word said strikes me to the bone as I needed to hear this specifically today! Every experience you get in work or otherwise will come in handy later down the line.
Alex is my favorite business philosopher. "These small lonely battles, that seem to have no reward will eventually be arrows in my quiver to slay the bigger dragon". What a time to be alive.
Because that's all there is to it. There are no magic shortcuts. There's no epic music playing in the background. Nobody is clapping, cheering you, or even care. It's just you, on your own, against the obstacle in front of you. Day in, day out.
Straightforward truth! Alex Hormozi's no-nonsense approach on facing challenges is both motivating and eye-opening. Thanks for the tough love and valuable insights!
Everyone focusing on the steroids stuff while there is some absolutely gold wisdom in here. This really resonated with me and was exactly what I needed to hear.
After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.
@@uptamistikSo many folks come to self improvement out of shame. "Earning" it can be an easy trap. Folks with internalized shame struggle when they get to the top and still struggle with happiness. This comment you are disagreeing with is speaking to that.
Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present. I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. To actively try to be a mindful person. Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!
Alex Hormozi's insights on embracing challenges are spot on; it's through adversity that entrepreneurs can truly innovate. For instance, when faced with a tough market, the most successful entrepreneurs use 'constraint-based innovation' to turn limitations into unique selling points. Remember, it's not just about working hard, but also about working smart and finding creative solutions within your constraints.
I'm frequently annoyed by online personalities that grew up very well off, that don't have kids or people to take care of in their lives except themselves talking about how they're the only ones making sacrifices and doing the hard work.
Criticism is fair. Also hard is subjective. Things are hard for everyone, in their own version. I think it's not right for me to compare my version of hard to yours. We all have our own demons that we have to battle. Even if someone's demons are easier for us to slay, doesn't mean they're not difficult for them to slay. You know what I mean? Everyone is on their own journey. Best of luck on yours :)
You don't know what actually goes on in the lives of these "online personalities". Some can't give up being in relationships, frequent hangouts with friends, having family and kids, so they choose to instead give up being exceptional and successfull. Others can't give up being exceptional and not having tried what they really want to do, so they give up all the pleasures of the average person- going on parties, snacking, drinking, getting married, kids... Everything in life is a tradeoff, whether you do it consciously or not. There's only 24 hours in a day, so once you chose to use it for something, you are choosing to give up on the rest. The same goes for our attention, effort and resources. And well, we do have our own priorities so there's nothing wrong with choosing one over the other. But let's not pretend we don't know who made the harder choices. Yes, we all make sacrifices but those at the top are there for a reason. The results and the respect they get is proof of how much harder and bigger their sacrifices were. Because if it wasn't, we'd all be up there too.
I finally finished college which due to financial reasons was hell to get through. I was never able to balance fitness, college, work and my relationship with my gf while living with my parents. I had to make the decision to finish college no matter what. It’s been difficult to decide to get back in shape no matter what but this clip reminded me that I have the ability to make that decision.
As a photographer, I was well impressed with Chris' videography knowledge there.... And it makes sense, the show is well lit, and looks great. Definitely has that cinematic touch.
Chris, this just completely changed my entire view on how to run my business. I started in 2018 and have been thinking about giving up but then I listened to this. I’m going to tell the story someday of how this clip from a podcast of someone who I’ve never met completely changed my mindset to better my business and ultimately my family’s quality of life. Thank you is not enough. We will meet someday and I will shake your hand.
I love listening to back stories, it gives one perspective of where you currently are in your journey. It’s almost like the journey is internal when you’ve reached a checkpoint that seems like a dead end and you feel like giving up. It’s conversations like this that give you the “Hey, just keep at it I’ve been in the same place and made it out. It’s just a level you’ll have to pass and endurance is the cheat code” vibes
Just take synthetic testosterone. I hate how we prop up people who use drugs. Would you respect someone who wrote a paper on Adderall? No. So why respect people who take other drugs that makes them "successful"
@@gladtech4740 I mean weather his physique is natural or not that’s not the subject matter. Got to respect the determination and realism of his work ethic towards business and that speaks for itself. Despite the thumbnail the frame of the conversation with Alex is rarely about bodybuilding but business and entrepreneurship.
@@ShareFestPodcast don't talk about it, be about it. This guy ain't that. Taking drugs that affects your body and psyche is taking the easy way out. This guy talks about going "the hard way" but doesn't do what he preaches. Not being on gear would be the hard way. Be about it, don't talk about it.
@@gladtech4740 Fair point. Even if he is, he still needs to show up to the gym to look like that. Plus he’s probably more in the than 90% of people, that’s the hard road. Maybe you could do everything right and never get to look like that. The “drugs” is an amplifier to reach a visual image he envisions not a shortcut
Based on the title I expected this to be some shallow "pull yourself by the bootstraps" speech. Clicked it out of morbid curiosity, but was pleasantly surprised. What I took out of this video was the whole idea of being 'the exception', and how the journey of being one is meant to be lonely. It's meant to be hard, which is all the more reason to undertake it.
So darn true, as a 49 year old everything that am proud of has been hard, most of it outside my comfort zones at the time. Enjoyed letting being outside my personal comfort zones to become comfortable.
Just needed to hear this right now! Was sitting in bed, 12 feet away from my wof desk, feeling guilty about not making cold calls, and fantasizing about jumping off a bridge. I am sad that my gf dumped me and all my friends just want to drink/party but I believe now is the time for me to dig my heels in and embrace the loneliness. I know what my financial goals are and I will do whatever it takes to achieve them. Thanks Hormozi
As someone who’s been watching the show at least 2 years now pretty consistently. 2023, three of the maybe 6 people I send episodes out too have started listening close to if not regularly.
Success works like compounded interest. It takes time to build a foundation and maintain momentum, but once you get that momentum. Your progress is like that of an avalanche. Get started, focused, committed and never quit! Life is 10 percent of what happens to me, and 90 percent of the way I RESPOND to circumstances.
Wow, this conversation is a goldmine of wisdom! 🌟 The analogy of facing challenges as slaying dragons on the path to the treasure really hit home for me. It's refreshing to hear the honesty about the initial struggles and the reminder that the beginning is the hardest part. Alex's perspective on protecting your passion and becoming the hero of your own story resonates deeply. I'm curious, how do you all navigate the tough times and stay motivated on your journey?
I truly apreciate Alex and his work on the business side. But what I can't get behind is him lying about his steroid use and you and other podcast hosts not calling him out on it. Espescially you being good friends with James Smith who preaches against this type of misleading people.
Also, what has Alex hormozi been through his life? Some people have bad trauma and don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle as it’s way more toxic than it looks. People like that are very insecure and exhausting to deal with. They are never happy no matter how much they have.
@@HarryDry Look up ”Alex Hormonzi 6 week transformation”. He says he does trt to a normal range. Gaining 35lbs in 6 weeks (in the article he claims natural) is not possible for an experience lifter.
@@Windbend3r Well if you don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle you are not his target audiance and that’s fine. He has trauma and talks about it openly. I’m a psych major so it’s quite easy to tell.
@@MrOpticBladeGaining 35 lb of muscle would probably take someone 1.5-2 yrs min even if you’re in your prime hormonally. Maybe 1.2 min if you have freak genetics and are on an entirely program with help. I think 2 lbs per month if literally everything is optimal is the max for 99.99%
I can hardly wair for the full podcast.Awesome content Chris keep up the good work,the cinematography is top notch. Funny thing that I discovered you only this year and I've watched hours upon hours of podcasts. I'm glad that the algorithm is doing a better job now at recommending your content :)
Yoooo the Single 👏! This is for all the individuals that has that single clap! Keep going, keep striving, keep being different! Stay true to your game-plan and pivot when necessary but keep moving forward to that North Star ⭐️
I hope 2024 will be the year of life coach bros having kids and raising a family. Is anyone else tired of hearing how important relentless grinding is? What's the point if you don't have a family.
It's crazy... i swear to god I remember hearing a vid where c Chris talks abut something being hard to acquire often tricks people into thinking its valuable. Now i hear him circle jerking about doing things because they are hard It is what it is.
Oh wow, the ending of the video where Hormozi talks about documenting everything and one day people can look back and see how you did it... thats deep, and that makes me want to start documenting right now because thats the stage that I'm at. I'm at a stage where I am turning my business life around and starting a new venture that's going to finally put me on the road i should have travelled all that time ago. Mostly though, the video series will give me accountability because even if only one person watches the series it gives me one person thats invested and that is one person i do not want to let down, so ill find a way to overcome the obstacles and reach the next level, one step at a time. Sorry, TLDR. Thinking out loud here!
Also I love this guy and I don’t know him. It’s because he said he “lost everything” at least twice and had to sleep in his gym because he couldn’t afford two rents. Word, bro, I done lost everything more than once and more I don’t even want to talk about. But I’m building back up!!!!
I mean it’s just inherently not true though cause most of the people of influence that people “root” for are driven by desires for fame and adoration. Like in this modern society you will find very few people who have fame that weren’t driven in some way by it and the attention it brought.
The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact
There are absolutely routes that are better than others when it comes to doing things. If your take was true then there would be no professionals. Mentors wouldn’t be a thing, schools wouldn’t exist and nobody would be better than anyone else at anything. Funny how you nitpick about people having their thoughts laid out for them then you proceed to do the same thing.
I know it's really hard for a lot of people who have been suffering and struggling and hurting trying to better themselves and succeed and build a business or get shredded or get a degree or accomplish anything in life really, but the best thing that you can do is recognize that this is how it is. You're not uniquely being persecuted this is just normal difficulty when trying to build something or accomplish anything. Subjective experiences may vary but it just fundamentally doesn't matter. You may be crippled in some way and it may be particularly impossible for you to achieve a certain goal. In that case what you need is not encouragement but charity. If that is the case for you, then recognize your position and be grateful and humble that we live in a time of such incredible superabundance that those of us that can do support you. If that's not you, bitching about how tough it is for you or how jacked Alex is because he's on gear, it doesn't matter. If you want his physique then get on gear and hit the gym five times a week. If you can't afford it build the kind of business that would enable you to afford it. Oh guess what look at that you have some goals ahead of you now, and if you're starting from ground zero, it will likely take you years and it's going to suck really hard and you will be beaten down and beaten down again and again and again as you're attempting to reach your goal. Oh wow, look at that, we have come full circle, that's exactly what Alex and Chris are saying.
If you tell you film crew to shoot in 4K UHD then you get rid of the DCI 2:0 aspect ratio (The thin black lines top and bottom). If you really want to do something cool cinematically you could try shooting 2x anamorphic on full frame open gate. Might be weird but one could experiment and see what you think.
"The path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means you are not with other people... rather than bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you are on the right path."... the irony of that statement, is that path looks the same for a loner that accomplishes nothing, despite his best intentions or choice of vehicle. So is that really an indicator of being on the right path (or in the right vehicle)? Or is it simply a method to convince yourself not to give up before success materializes - while the truth is - you don't really know if you are on the right path (or in the right vehicle)?
I think physical improvement is at the end of the list of improvements. We can be very healthy without being ripped like he is. I think it is overdoing. I think that mental improvement is by far superior!
Yes Alex Hormonzi is on gear whether that is TRT as he admitted or he could be taking something else as well. But it still takes a lot of hard work to build this physique. I am natural and would never take steroids as it is not worth destroying your health in later life. No amount of millions in the bank can repair damaged heart muscle! Hopefully Alex realises this but hats off to the work he puts in the gym!
Not trying to troll you but TRT doesnt damage your heart, hence why its TRT, the amount of Test hes taking is probably very minimal compared to bodybuilders .... which is an entire different conversation... guys on TRT arent dying... but pro Bodybuilders have a tendency to have heart attacks. But I definitely respect your perspective.
@user-zl1yq7qo1d Thats the damn truth. Nowadays people seem to think working out and eating healthy is somehow "hard". Or just doing your damn job or studying without whining about being offended every 5 minutes. In my yard we have these stonewalls that people built in early 1900's with their bare hands while clearing fields for crops to feed their family. Thats fxckin hard. Today people want a medal for not being obese and showing up on time.

“Expecting it to be easy makes it much harder than it needs to be.” So very true!
“It's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life.”
- Morgan Freeman, Seven(1995). Love that line and that movie
So true
Aka just use synthetic testosterone lmfao
BS of the day, if you ask me. Nobody expects anything to be easy, in fact, quite a lot of people don't even start because of the perceived difficulty.
@@MartinMatra You don't seem to understand the quote . Some people expect things to be easy , but when they realize how hard it is they wanna give up , THAT'S what the quote means .

Alex is the man. End of story. A very underrated motivator.
Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did

“You’re looking around to see who can help you and you’re like f*ck it’s me, again” 😂🔥 sooo true!!
So good. Was looking for this comment.

Alex is my favorite business philosopher. "These small lonely battles, that seem to have no reward will eventually be arrows in my quiver to slay the bigger dragon". What a time to be alive.
“it’s hard, work through it” conversation over and over and over ad nauseam
It was hard to get through this conversation, but I worked through it
I think of a quote from the movie Fight Club "self improvement is masturbation". Well so is self-congratulatory talk about doing things the hard way.
Because that's all there is to it. There are no magic shortcuts. There's no epic music playing in the background. Nobody is clapping, cheering you, or even care. It's just you, on your own, against the obstacle in front of you. Day in, day out.

Kind of like hitting the gym, without TRT without gear… you know the hard way. Unlike 99% of gym bros who do what everyone else does…
You need TRT?
Right, Alex is looking like he's on some gear
Facts he took the easy way in the gym. 100% not natural 😂
@@judgejudyandexecutioner.5223you could also just go on TRT…

It is what it is.
Oh wow, the ending of the video where Hormozi talks about documenting everything and one day people can look back and see how you did it... thats deep, and that makes me want to start documenting right now because thats the stage that I'm at. I'm at a stage where I am turning my business life around and starting a new venture that's going to finally put me on the road i should have travelled all that time ago. Mostly though, the video series will give me accountability because even if only one person watches the series it gives me one person thats invested and that is one person i do not want to let down, so ill find a way to overcome the obstacles and reach the next level, one step at a time.
Sorry, TLDR. Thinking out loud here!
Hormozi being associated with Grant Cardone is all i needed to.know
What is needed to be known?
Associated? You mean his wife bought him a gift 4 calls with grant and he’s used 2.
Grant Cardone is garbage Hormozi at least stays neutral
Two people who you’re watching
I just feel like i don't care about anything anymore. Nothing is worth the effort.
I can 100% relate to it, of my experience, hearing you guys, it helps me to better understand and cope with it!
This hits deep.
“Everything worth doing is hard” if it’s hard do it, it means no one else will do it.”
Yo that F*CKED me up “people only root for those who don’t need it.” In the underground music scene nothing more truer has been said
Also I love this guy and I don’t know him. It’s because he said he “lost everything” at least twice and had to sleep in his gym because he couldn’t afford two rents. Word, bro, I done lost everything more than once and more I don’t even want to talk about. But I’m building back up!!!!
I mean it’s just inherently not true though cause most of the people of influence that people “root” for are driven by desires for fame and adoration. Like in this modern society you will find very few people who have fame that weren’t driven in some way by it and the attention it brought.
I love this because they are just out-quoting eachother, best quote wins lol
For real though I love this type of content you guys are goats
I’m in this path rn! Only me and my lord Jesus 👏🏻🙏🏻
- Hardship = worth
- Challenges deter others
- Early struggles equip you
Love this studio set
Arrows in the quiver that you'll be using to slay future dragons. So helpful to frame it that way when experience can feel so random at times.
I saw this and the first thought that went through my mind was oh wow! Alex is the next wolverine lol
Wow! I thought this was an old episode but it's a new one! It's an insightful conversation.
Because they had this exact convo many times
bro these podcasts look so dang cool
Great content Chris! Deep! Love it!
So simple, yet so good
This is PHENOMENAL
1:25 and I already liked this one. You two have such an awesome dynamic! Looking forward for the full version. Thanks!
The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact
There are absolutely routes that are better than others when it comes to doing things. If your take was true then there would be no professionals. Mentors wouldn’t be a thing, schools wouldn’t exist and nobody would be better than anyone else at anything. Funny how you nitpick about people having their thoughts laid out for them then you proceed to do the same thing.
You’re too different to the friends you have but not successful enough to be with the friends you want to be with. 🔥

"Expecting it to be easier is going to make it much harder than it actually is"
“Expecting it to be easy, is what makes it Much Harder than it ever is” -Alex Hormozi
Chris Williamson really is Derek Zoolander
I know it's really hard for a lot of people who have been suffering and struggling and hurting trying to better themselves and succeed and build a business or get shredded or get a degree or accomplish anything in life really, but the best thing that you can do is recognize that this is how it is. You're not uniquely being persecuted this is just normal difficulty when trying to build something or accomplish anything.
Subjective experiences may vary but it just fundamentally doesn't matter. You may be crippled in some way and it may be particularly impossible for you to achieve a certain goal.
In that case what you need is not encouragement but charity. If that is the case for you, then recognize your position and be grateful and humble that we live in a time of such incredible superabundance that those of us that can do support you.
If that's not you, bitching about how tough it is for you or how jacked Alex is because he's on gear, it doesn't matter. If you want his physique then get on gear and hit the gym five times a week. If you can't afford it build the kind of business that would enable you to afford it.
Oh guess what look at that you have some goals ahead of you now, and if you're starting from ground zero, it will likely take you years and it's going to suck really hard and you will be beaten down and beaten down again and again and again as you're attempting to reach your goal.
Oh wow, look at that, we have come full circle, that's exactly what Alex and Chris are saying.
One can only wonder what sort of different world we'll live in if people such as Chris & Alex become world leaders.
Tren hard
Sitting here looking at two likely failed businesses and a large investment that's not panning out. Feels absolutely awful but only path is forward
Keep it going bro. "The only way to connect the dots is looking backwards". You have to trust that of that will only make sense for you in the future.
If you tell you film crew to shoot in 4K UHD then you get rid of the DCI 2:0 aspect ratio (The thin black lines top and bottom). If you really want to do something cool cinematically you could try shooting 2x anamorphic on full frame open gate. Might be weird but one could experiment and see what you think.
"In the beginning, it's just you with a stick against a bear !!" That's exactly how I've been feeling for 18 months now.
Totally, one of those hard things is getting over the fear or injecting PEDs with Vinny in the bathroom stall over at Golds.
Thank you guys. I’m right in the middle of my lonely chapter, and I really needed to hear this.
These hustle culture podcasts are equally inspiring as they are depressing.
"The path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means you are not with other people... rather than bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you are on the right path."... the irony of that statement, is that path looks the same for a loner that accomplishes nothing, despite his best intentions or choice of vehicle. So is that really an indicator of being on the right path (or in the right vehicle)? Or is it simply a method to convince yourself not to give up before success materializes - while the truth is - you don't really know if you are on the right path (or in the right vehicle)?
I appreciate your work mate
Am I stoned or are the speak pauses overdramatic long :D. Nice podcast! love both of u guys!
I think physical improvement is at the end of the list of improvements.
We can be very healthy without being ripped like he is. I think it is overdoing.
I think that mental improvement is by far superior!

Holy shit. It's Jessie from Athlean-X!
the passion paradox is such a great insight
I was surprised to get takeaways right from the start, but this was a gift. Thanks for the great podcast.
These men surely think highly of themselves, don't they?
That statement says more about you, then them. Enjoy your soy latte. 😎
Yea, and i have no idea what was so "hard" about their lives. What did they have to overcome?
7:30 “Fuck its me again”
felt that
Keep going 💪
Yes Alex Hormonzi is on gear whether that is TRT as he admitted or he could be taking something else as well. But it still takes a lot of hard work to build this physique. I am natural and would never take steroids as it is not worth destroying your health in later life. No amount of millions in the bank can repair damaged heart muscle! Hopefully Alex realises this but hats off to the work he puts in the gym!
Not trying to troll you but TRT doesnt damage your heart, hence why its TRT, the amount of Test hes taking is probably very minimal compared to bodybuilders .... which is an entire different conversation... guys on TRT arent dying... but pro Bodybuilders have a tendency to have heart attacks. But I definitely respect your perspective.
This has zero to do with what they are talking about.
Bravo, Chris! I'm hanging on every word of this conversation - the value is unreal 🔥🔥
Dude. Chris. Im sharing the SHIT outta this. THANK YOU!!!
You can try to be the exception, or instead be exceptional. But every step you take to becoming exceptional will make you appear the exception.
As in life, everything is a balance...you can go to far either way.
Theoretically if you start to love doing stuff you hate, do you need to start doing new things you hate to grow your mind? (Dr. Humberman)
Just tell me what Hormozi's cycle is plzzzzz
Can't wait for the full episode to drop
I've got confidence 😊
Nothing people describe as "hard" today would even pass as being remotely so just 100 years ago.
@user-zl1yq7qo1d Thats the damn truth. Nowadays people seem to think working out and eating healthy is somehow "hard". Or just doing your damn job or studying without whining about being offended every 5 minutes. In my yard we have these stonewalls that people built in early 1900's with their bare hands while clearing fields for crops to feed their family. Thats fxckin hard. Today people want a medal for not being obese and showing up on time.
