Loving the lighting setup over here Chris 🙌! Awesome work with the team 🔥

“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.
Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did
Alex is the man. End of story. A very underrated motivator.
“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.
Alex Hormozi is a complete scammer. Tai Lopez 2.0
@@alterego157And a ton of luck
Hormozi being associated with Grant Cardone is all i needed to.know
*VERY easy to say when you're cycling/ on TRT.*
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.
The lying about the steroid use is bad. But what I think is worse: Alex Hormozi made up the whole story about being "worth $100 million". Nobody ever called him out on it. Not a single podcast host. There is ZERO verifiable proof about any of his stories. Completely made up, complete lies and yet I am shocked that podcast interviewers who I respect never really asked him anything about it.
the reality is that hard work is not guarantee of success, you have minority of people who do the work to actually succeed, then they go on podcasts, write books to sell about their "formula" and become even more successful for it...
You need to put hard work in correct direction, just because its hard is not enough of a indicator that you're doing something right.
True that’s what makes 99% of the people give up, if you want to win avoid thinking like the 99% that give up
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.
From my perspective the true test of a man is when he gets married and has children.
How he deals with that will define his strength or weakness.
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.
I can only think of one, Dr Ben Hardy, who talks about having kids (he has 7). He walks the talk.
Some people have greater aspirations than just having a family.
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 :)
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.
Awesome perspective
No one deserves anything. You earn it.
@@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.
Just take trt bro, this guy does and he lives the "hard life" lmfao hypocrite
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!
Thank you Alex for saving me and getting me through this dark and difficult time I’m currently in ❤
Damn, Chris is amazing at getting amazing guest to show up and spill their wisdom
So simple, yet so good
Go hard or go harder or look at it with some positive perspective and it becomes less hard.
Thanks for bringing Alex! Love to hear his wisdom!
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.
he’s open about testosterone use
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%
Thank you for this, gavee me the strength and conviction i needed
Zero credibility. Classic example of survivorship bias and influencer marketing (i.e. adds nothing to society). All front - he is the product, not anything he does or makes. Plus he's on TRT at 30 (which cuts across his entire point of doing the "hard things") - nobody needs to be on TRT at 30 unless you're angling to put yourself forward as some kind of hard man when you're not.
He's soft, all talk and has nothing useful to tell any normal joe out there trying to make it, because his whole story is a construct with nothing truly real about it.
Love this studio set
Alex Hormonezi
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?
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.
Great content Chris! Deep! Love it!
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.
the passion paradox is such a great insight
You guys helped me realize I was just being a b***h. Thank you for making this podcast seriously thank you
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
I've never seen someone with a better attitude towards challenges than alex hormozi
This hits deep.
Know what you are committed to and just don’t give up, no matter what happens. The rewards are great.
Sometimes. Sometimes success is just hard work.
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.
He used to be a model, so he was in the industry.
I bet you use the word "proper"
He has a guy for that.
Thank you!
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.
Having children is a decision in every instance except r8pe. Decisions have consequences.
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 :)
And?
@@NTRSCHANDlove this.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
“You’re looking around to see who can help you and you’re like f*ck it’s me, again” 😂🔥 sooo true!!
Tren hard
Anvar give up
So welcome. Grateful for this.
How can you have such a fakey on your show? What a great advert for truthfulness.
ive seen hormozi getting a lot of hate, even tho i never liked him , but did anything happen as him to be fake ?
POSITIVITY IS NECESSARY, MOTIVATION IS NECESSARY BELIEVING IN ONES SELF IS NECESSARY, BUT THE ACTUAL WORK..........THATS MANDATORY!!!!!!" Just do the work even if no one believes in you, just do the work. Results are the name of the game.
Nailed it.
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…
Pete Rubish did a video where he said he could eat 80 grams of protein a day and still make gains on steroids.
Can't wait for the full episode to drop
I just feel like i don't care about anything anymore. Nothing is worth the effort.
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 see you, brother. 🙏🏻
Go get it.
Make it Brother ❤️🙌🏽
bro these podcasts look so dang cool
Yes. To those opening statements.
I’m in this path rn! Only me and my lord Jesus 👏🏻🙏🏻
Excited for Monday's wpisode
Cheers for the inspiration guys 🔥
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
Dude. Chris. Im sharing the SHIT outta this. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you gentleman for all that you do. I look up to you both. Cheers!
You’re too different to the friends you have but not successful enough to be with the friends you want to be with. 🔥
Thank you this helps a lot
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.
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
I shared the last talk these had like I was on commission, buzzing for this
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.
This gives me hope
Love these dudes on gear who act like going to the gym is such a fucking acheivement.
😆 I know, right. Such delusion exists in these end times but the positive side to it is you get a good laugh at least.
Did you watch the video?
@ElStanleysMusic-pb9jm yes, I did. These pampered man children have no idea what "hard" is.
It is. Do you even know what steroids do? Do you think it's a magic spell that conjures swollenness as you sleep and eat pizza? No, it's the same god damn grind as everyone else except you recover faster, thus enabling you to spend LONGER at the gym and work HARDER. Don't come into the comment section of a bloody youtube video acting like you're hard.
You're the definition of someone who pulls everybody else down because you can't stand up on your own two feet. Go and achieve something, get less insecure, and stop being resentful about the achievements of others which far surpass your own.
I saw this and the first thought that went through my mind was oh wow! Alex is the next wolverine lol
Bravo, Chris! I'm hanging on every word of this conversation - the value is unreal 🔥🔥
As in life, everything is a balance...you can go to far either way.
Can't wait for the episode
On repeat.
This hit me today. Thanks Chris.
“Everything worth doing is hard” if it’s hard do it, it means no one else will do it.”
1:25 and I already liked this one. You two have such an awesome dynamic! Looking forward for the full version. Thanks!
I needed this🗿
Freaking Amazing! Thank You!!
😂😂
“No one roots for the person that needs it the most” Holy shit that hit me like a truck.
I'm at work right now and I'm 22 and carrying heavy trash bags. It's hard but it's worth it because it gives you a purpose.
Good for you. It needs doing.
@@davethusberg8954 It's one of the few jobs that actually needs doing in fact.
The last second is hilarious!! 😂
So let me guess…work hard?
One minute in and my mind is already blown 🤯🤯🤯🤯
One can only wonder what sort of different world we'll live in if people such as Chris & Alex become world leaders.
I was surprised to get takeaways right from the start, but this was a gift. Thanks for the great podcast.
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
Interesting but it’s just 2 guys taking turns making statements. It’s not a conversation. Kinda strange.
They’re building on each other’s ideas.
Those arms do not look like they are purely the result of hard work. They look like hormone-filled balloons.
Hormozi-filled
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.
Briliant
Just tell me what Hormozi's cycle is plzzzzz
'Stop being a bitch about hard things!', takes steroids as a short cut.
Not really sure I need to hear from this guy.
You love to see it!
Know whag would be harder? Getting jacked without steroids.
Hah, so true😂
Means you don’t understand physiology since it’s not a matter of effort in Alex’s case. What’s next … gonna dis on Arnold’s work ethic too?
Thank you guys. I’m right in the middle of my lonely chapter, and I really needed to hear this.
Keep up the good work chris. ❤️
Let's go!!
7:30 “Fuck its me again”
felt that
Hormozi looks like Super Mario with that hat😅but super excited for this episode
Muchas gracias eres de gran ayuda, aunque creo que estás exagerando un poco con el gym bro, jaja. Abrazo.
Needed this today. Thanks.
Chris Williamson really is Derek Zoolander
