If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $200,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
How I got here…
21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of Skool.com to help the many people who want to start a business online do so.
Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).
To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.
You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.

the way they look at each other, let each other talk without interrupting and agreeing on the basics just tells everything about their dynamics. A true powercouple
👍
100 percent
Says a lot
Like i would say everything
Equal interest
So you are "safe"
You can be you but still got someone you can rely on
Means do your thing still
I think that sounds great
That’s just called respect 🤔
She’s transgender
I'm 18 and really appreciate that you let us take a look into your relationship dynamics... İ always find it hard to maintain relationships so this really helps
You're 18. You'll learn a lot about yourself as you date and have relationships. Trust me, always improve and never be stubborn. Hear the other person out.
it’s also important to not lose yourself, identifying anything goes a long way
Only god can help you with a relationship. A relationship not built based off god always fails time and time again lol, I’ve learned personally too. Don’t waste your time or give anyone energy who doesn’t have boundaries.
How many relationships have you already been in at 18?
It will change as you get older. It was hard for all of us at 18. You have to go through a couple of breakups, watch many videos, self discovery, time alone, time in community, etc. - before you finally learn how to really cultivate and maintain a strong relationship. But, at 18 - trust me - it’s difficult for MOST of us.
I found Leila first and she’s a clear representation that you can be that boss lady at work and feminine with your partner! She never overtalks him and respects him.
But how did such a rich and successful man like hormozi end up with such a fake looking not attractive woman? Maybe that's what he's got at home, but he's having affairs with younger more attractive women when he's traveling?
They're both secretly transgendered...
Só true, that's the type of women that feminists are trying to end with unfortunately 😢
@Cre8Peace stupid comment. You fundamentally misunderstand a healthy relationship dynamic.
@Cre8Peace thanks for your stupid comment.
You two are amazing. I appreciate your candidness and your insights. I’ve been with my partner for two decades and you articulated a lot of what makes our relationship work. Cheers to the next decade.🥂✨
Yea, it's easy to be with someone when things go well- but when shit hits the fan and you stick together and work it out- and that's what both of you did for each other, is a great reward. Bless you both.
these two have been through rock bottom together. testament to both of them.
Love the couple videos. A great side effect of recording/documenting your life so much is that there is a lot of funny, sweet, endearing B-roll of you two together, i'm sure in 50 years you'll cherish all of it
So much wisdom at young ages. Love this relationship.
O my god
Never rushed into a video like that
So realistic,,,
I love when you guys show the reality of things and I definitely see so much in you guys
God bless you for doing what you are doing

texting is honestly a great way to help resolve certain conversations. love that! Thank you for sharing this one, y'all.
Thank you for choosing to share your journey in this way. Gives me a different lens to look through and challenge some ideas I've carried. Appreciate you two. 🤝
Thank you soo much Leila and Alex. I was a butterfly girl before(believing a fairytale and expecting a perfect partner) but, now that i see couples like you(litreally only you both, i have seen no one else.) I understand sacrifice and how it is not the end of the world. Like I thought if I said something and if my partner didnt agree, he didnt love me , he hated me bla,bla,bla. But now, I think communication is F**king king. Like if I can literally tell him what is in my head and also figure out solutions together, that is a big win. He doesn't have to agree to me all the time. But the problem is I was in a relationship(we broke up long time ago and I am looking for someone, so yea) where, the other person didn't want to agree with me litreally because of an ego issue. Like most of the solutions which fit the scene better (advice not just from me, but other people who agreed with me) he just wanted to disagree and never go with it. We had to have an arguement for like 3 days for him to see light and be like oh this is might work and in the end he was sad cause his ego lost. Like he had to agree against his will cause it was a better choice. This happened cause he was really bad at finance and was overspending. I tried to get him to see a different perspective but it never worked. He never wanted to talk about emotions and how we both felt with each other as well. He was keen on showing he was mad as his idea wasn't taken and just ignored that for as long as possible. Due to this I developed a strategy that I must win, so I can top him, get satisfaction, whatever. I ended up with an ego mindset, which is literally me becoming him. So now I allow myself to listen and find someone with good communication and overlapping goals, not just the end goal but like we both are on the same path as well.
Well, I had to express myself, so excuse the long parah, But thank you so much for making me understand I need to have priorities and good communication in a relationship rather than expect unrealistic "Perfect Conditions" I even learnt how the word "non-negotiable" is something which can be used in a relationship.
Yea I was in such a dreamland haha.
Love and respect, Manasa :)
Great advice, super insightful. I wouldn’t mind this once a month instead of yearly
aaaaw! You two are wonderfully inspiring & you do deserve all the good the universe has for you!
So dynamic and wise in your relationship as well.Good work.
It is useful and inspiring.
THANK YOU .
Here's the number 1 advice I can give anyone for relationships: Expectations are premeditated disappointments. Try to work to build each other up, but don't expect it.
Thank
You for letting us in , much respect G ! We didn’t need to know but you allowed us
I absolutely love how much self reflection to know who they are and honest communication to hash out how they are going to be with each other they do. Even if I wasn't interested in business at all, Alex would still be my favorite person on the internet because of his thinking, wisdom and character. I appreciate their relationship advice and example. Seeing how world class people approach a relationship is so important, even though I am currently not looking for one, when I do, it will be of paramount importance... Thank you both!
I know you lost some people due to "not business" content but I really, really, really love this content so much! ❤💝🧡 Thanks! Cause you both get me into deep reflection about myself "besides" business
This really helped thank you. As well as the other content. Thank you both 🙏🏾
Thank you both for your transparency and honesty.
I've been married for almost 25 years.
I still have a lot to learn and your conversation really helped me, especially where you stated you respect one another and realize that you can't always get what you want and that needs to be ok because, as an adult, you sometimes need to make the harder decision but it is the better and more important decision in that moment and for that season.
Love you both.
I love the human side of them that they continue to share with us ❤
yes because they know the business side is fake. time to bootstrap the sex tape and the youtube channel
Wow the question at 5:25 - what an absolutely genius perspective to have on agreement over important decisions. It's a trusting perspective, I love it.
I love the grit and resilience you both exhibit. But especially Leila. At 53, and as the mother of small boy, I am a bit alarmed at the current trend for young women to kick their men to the curb when things don't go their way or at the smallest slight of offence. It isn't difficult to see that your success is attributed to the fact that you understand relationships of all kinds are a journey and nothing is absolute in the moment. Reciprocity and altruism is key. You are both amazing role models, and I wish you continued success and love. ps - I am delighted with the free course content on Aquisition. What a gift!!
awesome video. Thank you. Happy new year.
Wow what great roll models. I started following because Alex had his goals straight and was inspiring, and now I have mad respect for the both of you. Wait to let us in to your personal lives a bit, very helpful to setting goals of my own. Thank you both
your vids are interesting, you cheered me up💗💗💗
I love you both so much. You are my online parents. ❤❤❤❤
You give that couple goal vibes I want so much.
This is such a great format, love to see you both do it again.
Loved this thank you!
It’s so fun to see how much more comfortable Leila is on cam now, been here since Alex had 6k followes and been here from the start w leila. LOVE U TWO
Powerful and amazing couple, it's really nice to hear them talk. People can learn so much for business and relationships from them
That Respect conversation was very insightful
Oh I already know that I am going to love this!!!!
Texting when you’re frustrated with each other is something my wife and I recently started doing. Diffuses so much.
As somebody who's launching a business and recently split up with a girlfriend who didnt understand my vision and kept demanding more attention and more time while questioning my value as a partner for being so involved in work, I feel SOOOOO reassured by this video. :') I just haven't found my Leila who will UNDERSTAND the goals I have for myself and who will willingly choose this lifestyle, knowing the sacrifices that come with it.
New relationships take a lot of time so if you are focused on launching something I would put my effort into that and then add in later looking for the right type of partner who is ok with the lifestyle of an entrepreneur. My partner and I met at a business conference so we already were in the same mindset, but we ended up putting a lot of time upfront to get to know each other bc we thought we were a life long match and now we are married and hardly spend any time together at all and still have an AMAZING relationship. If I need time I just tell him and we work something out. I understand he’s receptive to my needs, but I don’t ask for a lot either bc we are both busy. Relationships require time, but as long as it is agreed upon what that looks like to where both people feel happy then it makes things smoother. Good luck in your career and future partnership!!
she is closer than you think. dont give up bro
Merry Christmas, Mozi Nation! 🫶
Hearing you guys share your experience and how you worked your asses off to success has been a serious motivation for my husband and I . We recently started watch a lot of your content to replace mindless TV watching. Seeing the two of you collaborate has helped me envision a more successful future for us. As for Leila, omg when I hear you I think to myself, "I can be her one day." Thank you Leila and Alex for putting this effort into your content.
Needed to hear this. THX YALL.
Thanks for this. Helped me put a bunch of things into perspective
I NEVER comment on videos, but this is succinct, impactful & insightful & every couple should watch this. ❤
I love you guys so much. Such inspirations. You are my favorite couple. I pray for nothing more continued success for you both in your marriage and businesses for all time to
same! Now, Alex, what is this "Leila's dark side" that you speak of on today's podcast? 🤔 Tell us more..... 😆
17:11 "Could Leila have found someone else?" - Shows Leila with another dude with a beard
"Could I have found someone else like Leila?" - Shows Alex with another dude with a beard 💀
I appreciate you guys doing this.. very useful.
I love young and committed people. I pray for you guys, that this love always go beyond. ❤❣️💌
Bought both your books and have only just started the first, absolutley loving it so far
They are the embodiment of a productive couple. Relationship goals🙌🙌
It's probably been said 1000x already but I'll throw my hat in the ring - no doubt about it that the two of you were made for each other. All the best on your present and future success!
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks a lot guys for sharing this. Now I know what I don't want. You opened my eyes and I'm grateful for that.
What is it that you want?
Loved this whole video, love you guys!
I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing! ❤
You guys are awesome! Love videos like this.
yall are goals to infinity and beyond!
I am currently building a relationship with a wonderful man that I see myself settling down with.
And this helps so much, thank you!
I love their dynamic. Leila is a super powered high octane, very driven individual and she still has enough respect for Alex to take a backseat to him. I mean just look at how she looks at him. You guys are killing life right now. Thank you for setting such a great example, guys.
“All feelings are fleeting.” Building a relationship on mutual respect not a feeling of love or anything else, is the foundation for a bulletproof relationship.
very valuable and information video. thanks Alex!
Thanks man✌️
Leila. You're the fucking best. ❤
You have both helped me, my relationship, and everyone around me more than anyone.
Love this! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Alex I really needed this.
Wow I love this. I could listen to you both talk about your relationship for hours. Please keep them coming!!
What i hear alex say to the "when did you know they were the one" is - when he failed as a man she stood behind him and built him back better. I can get behind that
Wow what an insightful video, thanks a lot!
Good stuff. Thanks for doing this video.
Just got engaged Friday and my fiancée and I are entrepreneurs like you and Layla. I’ve been watching your channel for years now and as a 21 year old kid who was basically raised by his mom and learned nothing about business from his dad, I’m so grateful you’ve been making this content that is objectively good for me. I’ve learned more about making my life better from you than my own father and if you ever forget the impact your having remember that I wouldn’t have started my business or taken any of these huge steps in my life without your influence. Your the best keep grinding it’s making a huge impact
Congrats for your mariage bro 🫡
@@able_tom thanks man
Congrats I resonate with you, let’s be grateful with our parents because it’s the best they could do at their grade of consciousness
@@alexisjosueramirez2 no I’m grateful for my mother for sure your right she has been very helpful for example in picking my partner and she kept a roof over my head and fed me for 18 years. She definitely didn’t want me to start my own business because she’s more risk averse than me. I want to build something massive and of course we should take advice from people who are where we want to be. When I’m a millionaire I will certainly retire my mother but Alex will be more to take credit for me becoming that millionaire than her. Every time things get hard she pressures me to quit and I have to remember I only started this business 22 months ago and I’m in the season I should be taking beginners licks. I’ve barely made it to this point but I can feel it gaining traction. I would have quit by now if not for Alex’s content to be honest and gone to a job which I could make more.
Love you guys!!!!
Loved this! Thanks for being so open 😊
Awesome! Congratulations Alex!
I’m 21 and really needed this for my relationship. Thank you 🙏🏽
You don't know what goes on behind close doors. EVERY RELATIONSHIP HAS ISSUES more or less. Also having your Wife/GIRL work with you will kill almost any relationship.
@@abbegherab1863Truth
I think you two have a very solid relationship and I definitely agree that respect allows the relation to function better than a fleeting feeling of love
17:42 what a lesson my friends.... thanks for helping me create a more mature version of myself.
I really respect the partnership. I have gotten a lot better at parsing out business from family time because i work with family from watching you guys. Cheers!
We love you guys❤❤❤
You are both truly an inspiration 😊
Love how you rationalize your relationship.
Wow. You two are great. The epitome of marriage in America. My fav couple! I’m very inspired.
Loved this ❤
Respect is important
Down time, together time
Compatibility
As insightful as a fu*k! Both of you are wise and good people. I thanks God to be here learning loads fo shit from You both. God Bless you 🙏
great vid. much love.
Thank you! ❤
This is the most helpful video in so many ways
thanks so much for this video :)
Love, resilience and respect!
Mr and Mrs Hormozi , thank you for sharing .
VALUE. Thanks brother, I will implement this
You both have such strong masculine energy, it’s so interesting to see a little bit of your dynamic. Glad it works for you both!
Incredible idea for a video, encouraging for me and how to better work with my wife!
What they do is a blessing. Not an easy thing to do.
Appreciate the openness here 🙂
You are the best!! Thanks for sharing
I really appreciate the personal Q&A. And thank you for being down to earth.
YES! Respect is the secret sauce in ALL relationships ✊
Good one guys!
such an awesome bromance
Loved this
we could be brother and sister 😂 I'm grateful for you guys! Keep grinding and doing what you're doing :)
All the business language used to discuss their relationship is a huge turnoff, but what they are saying absolutely right! I realized at some point early early on that mu husband was human and stuff was going to happen in our relationship and I could either accept it or not.
love you guys
