There's only a few guys out there who I respect what they say and who've brought value to my life. Both these are 2 of them. In the future as this knowledge brings dividends, I'm not going to forget where it comes from. So, Thank you.
I like to follow your interviews. I saw a few interviews with Alex and he is constantly straight forward motivational, honest and no bs along the way. Besides that he is quite humble and focused. I'm looking forward to that full episode on Monday. Thank you!
"You only can be inadequate if you go to another level" This resonates. I lost both my fights in a jiu-jitsu tournament yesterday. But I'm proud that I pushed myself to sign up for the sport in the first place and that I signed up for the tournament.
Keep at it! My first tournament didn't go as well as I would have liked but I did another recently and it went a lot better. Either way it helps your game and feels good to know you stepped up by challenging yourself. I actually hate the feeling of competing, I get really anxious, but feel so good afterwards knowing I put myself in that situation regardless of the outcome.
This is 100% true. I have been doing self-improvement for a while and really worked on myself, and I started to feel like an absolute king, then after I MADE even more progress on my physique, mental health, and social skills, I actually started to feel like a lot smaller of a fish as I have started moving to bigger ponds. I'll definitely remember this idea and apply it to my life. Thanks for another amazing video.
I remember this random YT comment about a video on Yo-yo Ma aka one of the greatest living cellists on the planet. Everyone was talking about how kind, good-natured, and humble the guy was while answering random questions about the cello from the internet. Everyone was like how can he be this proficient with his instrument yet still be this modest? Someone replied that you gotta be humble af to reach that level of expertise. You gotta have what it takes to listen to feed back and criticism to actually improve your game. Feed back and criticism aren't gonna come from the things you've already mastered. Alex is saying the same thing. If you wanna be the best, there can be no ego.
"Are there things that the bus driver or the lady who serves you at Whole Foods can relate to you on?" In my experience, everyone has something to teach you, even if it's not the thing they're trying to teach you. Loneliness is more a state of mind that a physical predicament. We feel heard by others when we listen to what they have to say.
You kind of shifted my mindset a little. I'm not successful and currently on my Rocky cut scene and will stop judging others who don't have my mindset.
Just a reminder that success is what you define it to be, not only net worth and material possessions. Nothing wrong with striving to be the next warren buffet if business is your passion and thats what you truly want. I just want to remind who ever reads this that is okay to want to become a teacher, nurse whatever your passion is and become great in your area. I just think this new standard is making people more ambitious instead of following there life path. Kids rarely want to become athletes for the love of the game, they want the fame and money. Play for the love of the game not the results, if not youll find your self hating the process and not enjoying the results.
You just made an incredibly important point. I see so many people consumed with their public appearance, much of which is informed by social media. It seems like so many people have lost the plot. I can tell you, as a business owner, it is absolutely not for everybody. Many people don’t have the mind or temperament to not only build a successful business but to be happy in doing so. I am not suggesting in any way that makes me a better person or more intelligent than anyone who isn’t built for it. Those people are far better at so many other pursuits than I could ever be. The salient point is that owning a business is just A path but it is absolute not THE path and these internet “entrepreneur” personalities are largely painting a delusional reality for impressionable youth. Find something that makes you feel fulfilled at the end of the day that pays enough that you don’t need to struggle with bills and lean into that.
@MK4vDubbin that is facts, when people follow their paths and work to their strengths, it just makes a world a better place. At the end of the day, if everybody were business owners, there wouldn’t be none 🤣. And thats right, its definitely people being consumed on how they want to be perceived, and the false reality social media presents.
Random advice: being an entrepreneur is not for everyone. When I was like 20 I always though that I would make businesses and give it my all. I spent a year on that after university and only the realised that it's totally not for me. Now I am much happier being just a skilfull worker. And if you start investing early and with a really good plan that you stick to, money mostly will not be an issue.
Man I'm sorry but you are dead wrong. Being an entrepreneur and making a lot of money may not be for everyone, but you don't have to be one for the rest of your life. Why not accomplish your goals faster? Go back to whatever you want to be after making a lot of money and then you will know true freedom.
@@skycaptain95 Why not let the man do what he likes. And you can do what you like? If you make your bag, salud. And if he makes less but he's happy, good for him, too.
Professionally I'm fighting a lot of former big fish who are now in a larger pond. The amount of ego is unbearable, but the advice of taking on harder fights is solid. This is a professional pain in the ass but it's making me better.
The truly successful and satisfied people I know eschew public exposure and actually enjoy living a non celebrity YT social media selfie life. They prefer privacy and solitude over Likes.
@@officialtbhoops I agree. I think Alex is a really interesting guy who makes some great points, but I can’t relate to his insatiable thirst for doing bigger and bigger deals. If that truly makes him happy then good for him but I just don’t see it. I’ve already found at a much smaller scale how constantly chasing more money has done nothing for me once I was making enough to not worry about bills, had a nice house and can go out to eat to nice places whenever the girl and I want.
The ego actually works in identity polarities. It either convinces you that you’re the worst of the worst (victim) or the best of the best (god). Both can be dangerous traps, so we must remember to check our ego BOTH ways.
0:36 also known as a scatoma. The focus is on what’s missing or what’s not available over what is accessible and there. It happens to all of us the secret is to condition the mind to work for you.
Warren buffet also has mentioned that the majority of his wealth is due to maybe only a dozen or so big trades like the one mentioned. Without those few outliers, he would probably be average.
This reminds me of what you see with individuals who perpetually use smurf accounts in gaming: They feel powerful in only playing against people at a lower skill level.
Interesting perspective. Generally ego is associated with competition so I will have to listen to more of the podcast to understand how he has separated the two. The second half about the philosophy of friends and relationships is very well thought out. It doesn't bother him to leave friends behind but I wonder how the friends feel? My favorite Warren Buffett Quote: “I’ll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It’s addictive. And there’s a fantastic brand loyalty.” Now that is how you make money.
I think one needs to distinguish between different kinds of ego. On one hand, there are things like self-care, healthy boundaries, confidence based on competence/reality and such. And on the other hand are narcissism, delusion, thoughts of superiority and such. The latter is what most people mean by "too much ego" and it is a plaque.
That part was also a little tricky for me. I am aware of the things that i am missing, I work very very hard to get to my goals. But do not ask me to loose the very thing that keeps me going which is my competitive mind and the ability to say i am the best regards.
6:15 This might just be me projecting, but I think it's the opposite. A lot of people do understand, which is why they don't act. It's another example of the fear of success. "If I change my habits, my surroundings and the people around me will change as a byproduct of that. And I'm not ready for wholesale change."
The awesome people you know today, you met them because you left the one from yesterday behind. So the awesome people of today will also make room for the awesome people you will meet tomorrow.
Same, specifically high school friends. Due to pandemic-related reasons, I moved back to my hometown. I tried hanging out with them again, and realized we were on such different paths and mindsets. I look forward to getting back out there again after I move this summer
@@brunowilson19 for awhile, yes. Mostly during college. But I've noticed some of my high school friends made alcohol their whole personality, something I'd rather stay away from. I do plan to get involved in communities when I move to a bigger town this summer.
Watch the full interview. For him the Process is the Goal. And optimising the Process is the Goal. He'll never arrive, because there's always room for improvement.
Many people do not have money or get rich because they have high time preference. If you like to spend money you will never have a lot of it. If you like to save and you understand some fundamental analysis and understand compounded interest there is a good chance you can be rich if you start younger.
@@BGFitnessNY I can see how that opens him up to criticism, and I don’t want to copy him exactly because I’m my own person, but I feel like what your saying is ver similar to saying Kobe and Jordan were cocky and fiercely competitive. Yes, they were and they wouldn’t have achieve what they did if they weren’t that way.
If you listen to Jung, ego is good because it keeps us protected....but also stuck in what is familiar. For some people it's only lies. Good interview.
One small correction, Warren Buffett had Benjamin Graham. Plus the game of being a Titan goes back since the days of pharaoh And kings. But in the 20th century, the casual game in America was laid down by Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, and many many other entrepreneurs.
My Dad is a multi millionaire and drinks coors lite. He golfs with a guy who collects vintage supercars and drives to the course in a mini van with 200,000 miles on it. Guys who work at the course comment that it’s always guys with crazy cars getting their card denied and chased around for dues.
Well that’s just kind of weird TBH. There’s a difference in being wealthy and driving an economy car, and being wealthy and spending a ton of money on expensive cars and then driving a shitty van for some reason.
@@MK4vDubbin I get it. I’m nowhere near rich but went from dead broke to what most people would consider a high salary. It’s not about the nicer economy car which you can justifiably afford. It’s about the lifestyle creep that comes from ‘well I can afford this now, why not?’. That line of reasoning is quick sand.
@@Markcullenroi The man in the example is doing exactly what you’re talking about which is why I said it doesn’t make any sense. Again, if you are wealthy and buy a reasonable vehicle then that makes sense. The guy in this example didn’t do that. He spent a shit load of money on expensive cars that just sit in a garage and then drives a crappy van. That literally makes no sense.
@@MK4vDubbin ahh funny, the original comment could actually be read in two different ways. I read it as, the guy’s dad drives a beaten up van, but he plays golf with a guy with lots of super cars. It’s easily read the other way though.
@@seth.heerschap bro I don't feel even slightly rich lol. I pay 2400 in rent, like a chump. Hoping to get some real estate soon but instead of studying that I studied stocks all my life. Don't know dick about real estate and I keep hearing over and over that's where the money is made. Plus it seems like everything on a macro scale going to shit right now, don't know where to put my money...
@@MrAnderson234 I'm in a similar situation, I don't really know where to put my money. I'm also looking into real estate, I will be waiting probably another year before getting in. I do have one suggestion, look into I-bonds. You can get about $10K/yr, they yield over 5% per year and you can take the money out anytime. They are backed up by the Fed so low risk. Always good to diversify a bit.
Ego problem examples: those singers on American Idol who honestly believe they can sing and they’re objectively awful; men who transition in sports to go from mediocre to awesome (notice almost never the other way?!?); influencers who act rich but are not (what Alex talked about) or act natty but are not (Liver King, etc.). Too many examples to list. He’s just saying that in this world where you can both fool yourself and others for some period of time, actual excellence typically exists off the popularity grid. BTW, so does wealth. Many (if not most) wealthy people are not ostentatious. Good discussion, as usual from Chris. 😊
In the full interview they talk about how easy it is to actually be successful nowadays. You can create an audience pretty quickly compared to 30 years ago.
Hmm… this must be a difference between men and women… cuz I’m not looking for the “next” level, I’m perfectly content dressing this one up as nicely as I can.
Depends on how you define ego. Ego, spiritually speaking, is the false self which is propped up by material gain and success as an artificial construct. Everything about this quest for financial glory is egoic.
Very clever business people don’t need egos, they have earned their skills through learning, a lot of these egotistical characters in business who are loud mouths giving it all that are like that a lot of the time to mask the lack of learned knowledge they have, in other wards you could say they’ve cheated their way to success, but who’s to say which path is right
Always am very conflicted with Hormozi's content. He's come out against having kids as important to him, is on Testosterone in his 20-30s and just has a very unrelatable story (Went to California with $50k and just learned on the job and made millions). He has good nuggets and speaks well but I just never can relate to him and can't see his advice being a one fits all for a huge amount of people! Big fan of you though Chris, keep it up king 👑
I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs. Belinda Owens
My first investment in mrs. Belinda Owens gave me the confidence that led me to invest without fear of loss. I have already taken 3 of my friends to their guide and they are fine.
She is really great at what she does with amazing skills, she changed my 0.1BTC to 2.1BTC within two weeks of trading, I am now fully confident that she is reliable.
Warren did have Warren to learn from, Ben Graham. On the contrary to Buffett's environment of stock market growth, future growth will be stifled by population growth rate slowing to a crawl.
My easy and go to validation is looking how great achievements their employee can get or have. At least, that indicator give me conclusion that their idea about success possible to replicate and not some "exclusive ideas"
Woman’s egos especially when it comes to using and abusing men is being vallrized a hundred times more than men’s egos, sorry someone had to say it. But in the end the ego is the biggest way to fail, we can’t let our egos control us, be humble, be giving, be kind and love everyone.
I would think the 'the more you learn the less you realise you know' idea is associated with wisdom, rather than 'dunning-kruger effect' which is kind of the opposite? ...perhaps Jeff Bezos is humble? Darth Vader had vulnerabilities and was really struggling to find ways to reconnect with family? Cheerio x
Disposing of your friends because you've "outgrown them" is a typical egotistical statement made by human trash. It's not original and it speaks volumes about the lack of character of the person saying it. It is perfectly possible to context switch and maintain relationships with people less successful than you (financially or otherwise). It simply requires a touch of sensitivity.
When your time is fully leveraged you have to cut the fat to keep progressing. He's probably happiest cutting the fat, whereas most of us are happier with good friends. Maybe that's why everyone is broke?
Its a stretch to call this guy human trash. He may be a bit callous and perhaps have some sociopathic traits (as his own wife said), but I doubt he has seriously harmed anyone or treat people like trash
@@skycaptain95 you definitely don't need a sociopathic level of callousness to be financially successful. I wouldn't be taking interpersonal advice from a guy who said he married his wife as a business agreement.
I had a friend always trying to give me life advice. When I wouldn't follow it, she would question me, kind of bash me, or try to get me on the defensive. Then one day she dropped our friendship for some petty reason that we should've been able to get past. I was clearly not good enough for her anymore, after she had gotten further in life. At least that's the way I see it. No hard feelings, I wish her the best.
Here’s a riddle. If two islands have 100 people and 100 bananas each, and the top person on one island has 20 bananas and the top person on the other island has 99 bananas, which person is the smartest?
It could be because this video is taken out of context of a longer conversation, but after watching this 10 minute clip, this Alex guy comes across as a really shallow person
Why is the light is so harsh here? Way too much contrast on the faces. Why are highlights overblown so much. Looks very cheap and amateurish. Jocko and Goggins podcasts look SO much better in comparison to that
being successful isnt a contest or a tournament either. not everyone wants to run the illuminati at endgame of their career. JP says compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to who someone else is today. i think this is one of the best pieces of advice hes given. this guy saying he compares himself to warren buffet every day is the epitome of ego its just taking a different form in his psyche. one i think is unhealthy because the likelyhood of him ever being up to that "level" is next to impossible. i mean whatever motivates you power to you but dont tell me its not your ego driving you if you say you want to be warren buffet. having that much money has little purpose outside of raw power
Well, men compete for success and power only to get access to more women - there is nothing else to it - everything we do in our lives connects to that goal one way or another.
It's simply nonsense that rich people are humble. There is even scientific research that shows this to be untrue. No matter which way a person becomes rich, most people atribute it to their special gifts. "I work harder, smarter etc. The poors are lazy or have a bad attitude"

@@Markcullenroi The man in the example is doing exactly what you’re talking about which is why I said it doesn’t make any sense. Again, if you are wealthy and buy a reasonable vehicle then that makes sense. The guy in this example didn’t do that. He spent a shit load of money on expensive cars that just sit in a garage and then drives a crappy van. That literally makes no sense.
@@MK4vDubbin ahh funny, the original comment could actually be read in two different ways.
I read it as, the guy’s dad drives a beaten up van, but he plays golf with a guy with lots of super cars.
It’s easily read the other way though.
Damn. So simple. I've been focusing on being the best, so it keeps me in my small pond. I have to go out and do harder shit.
can't wait for this one to air
Damn man, needed this. Started making 200 and my ego been out of whack lately
Good for you recognizing this. Hope you find a center to fix it. Keep up the good work!
Gz on the 200
Yeah but after taxes and retirement and health care your sitting on less then $100k. Then tack on rent, car payments and suddenly you aren't rich.
@@seth.heerschap bro I don't feel even slightly rich lol. I pay 2400 in rent, like a chump. Hoping to get some real estate soon but instead of studying that I studied stocks all my life. Don't know dick about real estate and I keep hearing over and over that's where the money is made. Plus it seems like everything on a macro scale going to shit right now, don't know where to put my money...
@@MrAnderson234 I'm in a similar situation, I don't really know where to put my money. I'm also looking into real estate, I will be waiting probably another year before getting in.
I do have one suggestion, look into I-bonds. You can get about $10K/yr, they yield over 5% per year and you can take the money out anytime. They are backed up by the Fed so low risk. Always good to diversify a bit.
Ego problem examples: those singers on American Idol who honestly believe they can sing and they’re objectively awful; men who transition in sports to go from mediocre to awesome (notice almost never the other way?!?); influencers who act rich but are not (what Alex talked about) or act natty but are not (Liver King, etc.). Too many examples to list. He’s just saying that in this world where you can both fool yourself and others for some period of time, actual excellence typically exists off the popularity grid. BTW, so does wealth. Many (if not most) wealthy people are not ostentatious. Good discussion, as usual from Chris. 😊
In the full interview they talk about how easy it is to actually be successful nowadays. You can create an audience pretty quickly compared to 30 years ago.
Hormozi just needs to write a mindset book.
Cant wait for this!!
This episode sounds way better than the previous one that featured Leila. Can't wait for the full episode.
Hmm… this must be a difference between men and women… cuz I’m not looking for the “next” level, I’m perfectly content dressing this one up as nicely as I can.
It’s not about men and women, it’s the difference between you and other people.
The 'school of life' guy is just a sophist. I would remove his memetic garbage from your mind tbh
1:35 k 5:12 nothing to lose
Excellent perspective here.
Where’s the Full episode?
Beard Hulk is right
Beard hulk😂
Lol @ beard hulk. 🤣
We can call him Maestro. 😂😂😂
I thought this was jessie from athlean x😂
Depends on how you define ego. Ego, spiritually speaking, is the false self which is propped up by material gain and success as an artificial construct. Everything about this quest for financial glory is egoic.
Very clever business people don’t need egos, they have earned their skills through learning, a lot of these egotistical characters in business who are loud mouths giving it all that are like that a lot of the time to mask the lack of learned knowledge they have, in other wards you could say they’ve cheated their way to success, but who’s to say which path is right
Where is the full version of this?
Always am very conflicted with Hormozi's content. He's come out against having kids as important to him, is on Testosterone in his 20-30s and just has a very unrelatable story (Went to California with $50k and just learned on the job and made millions). He has good nuggets and speaks well but I just never can relate to him and can't see his advice being a one fits all for a huge amount of people! Big fan of you though Chris, keep it up king 👑
Where is the full episode?
his “I know it all” vibe is the reason why I can’t take him seriously
This is basically an admission of poor character (and possible intellectual disability) on your part.
@@alepho4089 This is what you took from that lol? Diagnosing intellectual disabilities with the boiz
For me it was paying Grant Cardone six figures for a half hour phone call 🤦♂️

I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs. Belinda Owens
This is not the first time I am hearing of Mrs. Belinda Owens and her exploits in the trading world but I have no idea how to reach her..
My first investment in mrs. Belinda Owens gave me the confidence that led me to invest without fear of loss. I have already taken 3 of my friends to their guide and they are fine.
She is really great at what she does with amazing skills, she changed my 0.1BTC to 2.1BTC within two weeks of trading, I am now fully confident that she is reliable.
You can communicate with her by telegrm with the username below...

link to the full podcast please? The link at the end takes me to a different podcast
@MS thanks for the info. I actually like what Alex has to say, his views are thought provoking.
I don’t see the full episode in the channel. Anyone has a link to it?
Warren did have Warren to learn from, Ben Graham. On the contrary to Buffett's environment of stock market growth, future growth will be stifled by population growth rate slowing to a crawl.
Humble people don’t think they are humble……..
My only opponent is the person I walk with everyday
My easy and go to validation is looking how great achievements their employee can get or have.
At least, that indicator give me conclusion that their idea about success possible to replicate and not some "exclusive ideas"
Woman’s egos especially when it comes to using and abusing men is being vallrized a hundred times more than men’s egos, sorry someone had to say it. But in the end the ego is the biggest way to fail, we can’t let our egos control us, be humble, be giving, be kind and love everyone.
It links to the wrong video at the end.
I would think the 'the more you learn the less you realise you know' idea is associated with wisdom, rather than 'dunning-kruger effect' which is kind of the opposite? ...perhaps Jeff Bezos is humble? Darth Vader had vulnerabilities and was really struggling to find ways to reconnect with family? Cheerio x
Life is short ,what's the point when all you need is a certain amount of money to be happy
What is the actual take home from this video ?
Alex has a beard
Not clear what this guy's point is, other than here's a few examples of billionaires that don't seem really alpha
Have to love for Hormozi
Ooooo... gonna have to listen to this one again with pen and paper in hand... many good quotes and valuable insights. Thanks Guys!
Disposing of your friends because you've "outgrown them" is a typical egotistical statement made by human trash. It's not original and it speaks volumes about the lack of character of the person saying it. It is perfectly possible to context switch and maintain relationships with people less successful than you (financially or otherwise). It simply requires a touch of sensitivity.
💯%
When your time is fully leveraged you have to cut the fat to keep progressing. He's probably happiest cutting the fat, whereas most of us are happier with good friends. Maybe that's why everyone is broke?
Its a stretch to call this guy human trash. He may be a bit callous and perhaps have some sociopathic traits (as his own wife said), but I doubt he has seriously harmed anyone or treat people like trash
@@skycaptain95 you definitely don't need a sociopathic level of callousness to be financially successful. I wouldn't be taking interpersonal advice from a guy who said he married his wife as a business agreement.
I had a friend always trying to give me life advice. When I wouldn't follow it, she would question me, kind of bash me, or try to get me on the defensive. Then one day she dropped our friendship for some petty reason that we should've been able to get past. I was clearly not good enough for her anymore, after she had gotten further in life. At least that's the way I see it. No hard feelings, I wish her the best.
Here’s a riddle.
If two islands have 100 people and 100 bananas each, and the top person on one island has 20 bananas and the top person on the other island has 99 bananas, which person is the smartest?
Whichever island has the banana tree 🌴
There are multiple games to play (beyond business and money) so it’s OK to play a mediocre business game if you excel at another game.
It could be because this video is taken out of context of a longer conversation, but after watching this 10 minute clip, this Alex guy comes across as a really shallow person
Any idea who the biggest fish is?
Basically saying money is everything
Why is the light is so harsh here?
Way too much contrast on the faces. Why are highlights overblown so much. Looks very cheap and amateurish.
Jocko and Goggins podcasts look SO much better in comparison to that
Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger your heros? Are you fucking kidding me? 😂
He’s describing narcissist
being successful isnt a contest or a tournament either. not everyone wants to run the illuminati at endgame of their career. JP says compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to who someone else is today. i think this is one of the best pieces of advice hes given. this guy saying he compares himself to warren buffet every day is the epitome of ego its just taking a different form in his psyche. one i think is unhealthy because the likelyhood of him ever being up to that "level" is next to impossible. i mean whatever motivates you power to you but dont tell me its not your ego driving you if you say you want to be warren buffet. having that much money has little purpose outside of raw power
i mean to each his own man
This is next level.
Yuck all that bass on the mics make it difficult to listen, make them more clear...
Ego is an impediment to see the Truth about yourself.
While this applies to some percentage of the population who has the IQ, health, etc to do said thing, the world is much too complicated.
thanks for the tips homeless man
I actually sale the real! Product! & it’s made me 50 million over the last 24 months
Come on
take it easy,
slow down a little bit...
Don't end up like the working Bees!
'Warren didn't have Warren to learn from'
Well, men compete for success and power only to get access to more women - there is nothing else to it - everything we do in our lives connects to that goal one way or another.
It's simply nonsense that rich people are humble. There is even scientific research that shows this to be untrue. No matter which way a person becomes rich, most people atribute it to their special gifts. "I work harder, smarter etc. The poors are lazy or have a bad attitude"
Biffets greatest investment of his life (apple) was chosen for him by a kid. Imagine if his ego didnt allow him to listen to the guy
