@ChrisWillx When is NOMATIC coming to Australia is there any future plans for it to be distributed here. Cheers only 5 mins in this video and already resonates with me so much as someone that wants to do it right the first time.
When Chris and Alex chat I feel I can run through drywall in search of the enemy. I’m then faced with the realisation the enemy is within. Thank you 🙏🏻
One of the best podcasts I've ever watched. Some key takeaways: - State the facts and tell the truth on what you do - Pay the price, you can’t have strong character and an easy life - People only root for people who don’t need it - The things your not willing to give up is what the person your competing against will, and thats why they will beat you. - When making decisions, make them based on the down side.. choose your problems instead of looking at the upsides - Theres no return policy on respect. Don''t chase views and be cringe, stay true to you If you don’t change the behaviour, you LEARNED NOTHING. Go make shit happen ;)
I almost didn't watch this because I thought, "hmmm, I've already seen about 10 hours of these two wonderful lads chatting -- probably not much new on this one." Absolutely my favorite one yet, and probably the most valuable. Keep it up, gentlemen - this is truly excellent dialogue.
Well said. I slow it to .75 speed .,I can absorb their free knowledge and life experiences better at that speed. I’m male and 60 just. We all have different expectations from our lives. We are all on the same space , time continuum though. If we can work at making a wonderful life inevitable, just as we consider our passing as inevitable, then … ? Over to you x
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.
This puts into words things I'm not smart enough to explain. 8 years into self improvement and from a man who spent 40+ years in utter disappoint with my life to a man who feels great about himself in the ways you just said. No longer do I have to prove I'm a good man... I know I'm a way better man than I was. I'm a way better husband, father, employee than I ever thought possible and it's so fulfilling to me. To be respected now where I wasn't respectable and to be able to give myself honest affirmation is the best feeling in the world, but I'm not stopping here. These podcasts have humbled me and shown me that there's a 3.0 a 5.0 and a 5.0 man inside me and having seen the benefits of the work I've already done it just makes me more driven to continue. Congratulations my friend on your success.
@@dustinstout5527it’s all the more encouraging to hear others not only identify with realisations that I’ve had, but to hear the transformations that have happened in their own lives too. Keep aiming up my friend!
Both your comments inspire me,am in the middle of nowhere right now but i know ill get there,i come from a very dysfunctional family,i lost my dad at 12 years old and things were never the same since,my mum is still alive but both my parents never went to school so i didn't know things like financial literacy,i grew up with so many limiting beliefs and low self esteem..but last year January i just started motivational videos on UA-cam and came across the term "personal development" and this is the best thing that has ever happened to me,i never used to read but now i read 1 book a week,and i watch so many podcasts on personal development..and i can tell am a different man these days and soon it will show by my results..
I disagree with one point from all the beautiful recognizations you presented. I believe we all have to prove thing’s to ourselves. Success is never owned. It is rented. And the rent is due everyday. That’s what self-improvement is, proving each day that you are worth it… to yourself. Whatever your proof needs to be.
More talks like this needs to happen. NO BS. Just two men shooting the "shit" whilst giving advice and speaking on the life lessons they have learned. I am a fan. Thanks Chris and Alex.
The dynamic you two have is honestly amazing. You bounce off each other so well. Every podcast you do with Alex always leaves me with so much to think about. Thanks Chris 🙏🏻
Gandhi said “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony". I love this definition because it suggests that happiness is not necessarily this euphoric feeling we chase nor is it a continuous construct. No person is always happy.
I've heard it said before that we shouldn't chase happiness, because happiness can easily be fleeting. Instead, we should be chasing contentment, not only because it's more achievable but it will last longer too
1:17 yes my father told me as a child do things right the first time and you don’t have come back an fix or finish .. he was talking about washing the dishes to me as a 9 year old but that something I have remembered to do and have used that lesson in my life ✌🏻
Good point if you are still trying out things. Then you have to just try what works and you will learn by that what is good. But i feel like they missed out on saying that when you know what you have to do, good quality will outperform volume with not so good quality. And in the first place looking on quality will outperform looking on pricing.
@@Nicegirlsilver yes it does, people always think they should look on pricing and costs. Looking to improve quality in process will always automatically reduce cost. Maybe you are stuck in tayloristic thinking
Preface I never comment on youtube videos. Alex Hormozi has become such a key peice of information very grateful for everything he does. But it is insane how much more wise he seems between three of the podcasts he has done with Chris. It blows my mind how much he grows in such short amount of times. I think I attack life at 100% everyday but I don't know how to change at the rate he is. It is insane.. Thanks for the pod I rewatch them constantly.
Listening to them speak, I feel less alone in my life striving for what I want. My other mentors and coaches hit chords on the topics Alex and Chris dissect in these 3 episodes (the other two are part). I truly feel like I've gained them as part of my community that really do encourage me while also calling me out for not reaching for what I say I want. I'm grateful for their wisdom and their support through the webs. Thank you both, see you guys soon.
Epic one! It took me a moment to realize what you do that is different from other podcasters, what makes you exceptional Chris here it is: - You ask excellent, yet succinct questions Chris - You HOLD the space for your guests to freely and completely express themselves - When you have something to add, it is very insightful, to the point and valid for the conversation (you don't make it about you). Thank you for being who and how you are and for allowing us to be part of it! 💗
I had a friend who loved to show up and challenge everyone just to spark passionate debates and come out feeling like he "won." One day, we all decided to respond to everything he said, whether true or false, with a simple "You're right." That day, he was visibly frustrated -- it was hilarious to see that all he really wanted was to be the guy who’s always "right." Despite that, he's still a good friend.
This is thee most meditative episode, Chris. Thank you for embracing the still moments. There is nothing quiet about the silence you allow in this conversation!
Chris thank you for letting Alex be Alex by allowing him to reflect oh his past thoughts. A masterful exhibit of picking his mind so we can possess the gems of wisdom he possesses.
I would pay a monthly subscription to hear these guys talk about Business and Life more often! Side note: a song I'm finding really motivational right now (sounds random but go listen and you'll see why) is Shakira's "Try Everything" I sing it with my kiddos, I'm raising them to be fearless in pursuit of their personal greatness :)
That feeling when someone literally defines why you feel the way you feel, whilst others try to convince you not feel, or think, or do, because they aren’t willing to do even 1% more. But it’s all you know how to do.. This podcast is straight fire right from the beginning 👏🏻
So many powerful takeaways. As somebody in those early stages of going for my dreams, it's often hard to discern if what I'm doing is right. But all you really gotta do is continue. Outlast the doubt, the fear, the uncertainty, and cherish the journey, as much as possible, every step of the way. "So many people waste all their time trying to solve a problem that is life, rather than living it.” - Hormozi This hit, so hard.
Alex Hormozi is a very interesting case study of sacrificing everything to make it in terms of entrepreneurship. I am definitely by no means the same personality type and our values are completely different, I just want enough autonomy over my life that I can do what I want when I want without having to report to a typical 9-5 job. Some of those lessons in this video ring hard and true. One of them that I can relate is the eternal grind in the shadows before making a success story and building up enough value to an audience to actually sell something. It is going to be a long road, boys. Hope you can tag along with me.
That really is the hard truth about entrepreneurship - the only way to make it is being willing to sacrifice everything for it. And even then it's no guarantee of success. You have to be willing to give everything for an extremely low chance of success, and most people aren't. Statistically it makes no sense. The true sign of a great entrepreneur is one who knows just how unlikely the outcome is, yet strives for it anyways.
2:18:15 -"Everything is terrible all the time, forever." When I was younger, I'd have said "this is very negative". But younger me didn't do much to support that statement. So at this point in my life, this quote is extremely resourceful to help me take the necessary actions to overcome my (current, nearly unbearable) adversities. Thank you. Oh, there it is: 2:29:50 - If I were a Transformer, I would be "Chronic Optimist", my toxic trait is "positivity". I tried being pragmatic, owning my circumstances realistically for the last 18 months or so. This has backfired and reflected exponentially on my health, wellbeing and succes. I still think chronic optimism does better for me by gaslightng myself into positivity. But this... Alex's stoic inputs are very resourceful right now
I dont very much relate to Alex's crazy hustle lifestyle, it honestly does not motivate me much. But what I do gain from these conversations, and what is priceless for me, is how you guys reinforce the unshakable belief in oneself, even when everyone tells you you are wrong. Thats basically the story of my life and its nice to hear from time to time that you are not crazy. Its just so hard to be able to withstand the constant bombardment of doubt from everyone and still be able to say "no, I am right" with confidence On a different note, soo I guess the guy Chris talked about being cancelled and who was worried he was a coward was... Rogan?
29 year old with cancer here, trust me. I understand the constant truth or death. I’ve almost died 4 times and was fully aware of it on 2 of those occasions feeling myself slip out of life. And knowing it happens to everyone eventually is not an ease to the fear because there’s so much I still want to do. The honest truth is we all know we are going to die but most of us don’t believe it. Like, it’s easier to be able to live without believing in your certain death. The hard part of dealing with shit like terminal cancer is you don’t just know you’re gunna die you have to believe it and believe it’s gunna happen soon. Which means accepting a loss of everything you wanted to do without ever having done any of it. Death is hard to accept man.
Incredible episode!! THANK YOU for not including commercials! The flow here is INSANE!! I just discovered Alex last week on this very podcast and have been binging his content ever since. So glad for a fresh episode!
Chris and Alex are a dynamic duo. This is some of the very best dialogue I've ever heard, and I'd wager ever recorded. No one can dispute Alex's business acumen, however his knowledge and understanding of real trauma appears to be non-existent. That there are clear physiological and neurochemical markers in infants and children who've been traumatized is also beyond dispute. If a young one has experienced deep and prolonged trauma, but never learns to face and process it, it will almost certainly act as a powerful constraint on the options and choices available to him or her later in life. Whole swarths of reality will fall outside the range of such a person's perceptual landscape. It's for this reason that undigested trauma is the cause of so much human conflict and suffering, and for Alex to imply that a person can simply make a decision to act against their internal reality is naively simplistic . Another problem is that the word itself has been hijacked and corrupted in modern parlance, but we'll save that for another time.
This comment is so poignant and insightful. Healing my traumas, or rather addressing them and having done a lot of healing for them, was one of the most liberating and positively life changing things I've ever done. I still have a long way to go. There's a saying in psychology apparently that goes like "you're responsible for all things that you're not responsible for". That is to say you are responsible for healing the traumas that you experienced, that weren't your fault that they happened to you. Healing generational trauma is one of the most worthwhile things a human can do. I say that a lot.
I love this interview, especially the last point resonated with my own internal feel. I actually shouted: “Thank you!” while walking through the city listening to your podcast
Alex is right about happiness. For years I tried to be happy. Made me miserable. Now I try to do what's right for me to do. I feel happy a lot of the time.
Alex's point about accepting you're not going to be liked by people around you to be liked by yourself hit hard. That's something I think anyone with a conscience will struggle with.
A true, profound, exceptional, dinamic dialogue between two self educated people like these, I have not seen before, and is the top of what podcast became at this moment from my point of view. 🙏👌
Just started watching this episode, but I have to say, I have seen movies with less image quality that this. Thanks for caring about that, and thanks in advance for this 3 hours masterclass.
In all my years of consuming content online, I have never seen someone quite as succinct, intellectual & brilliant as Chris Williamson. I would pay great deals of money to sit down and have a 1 hour conversation with this man. I would be beyond absorbed in his wisdom. Keep going Chris, your content is a glitter of beauty in a sea of unoriginal, bubblegum media.
Guys this was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. The messages I needed at the perfect time. Authenticity is the path and that’s why it’s easy to believe what Alex is saying because he’s telling us the truth that we need to hear and I know when I’m listen to truth, because the truth makes me stronger, even if I have to face myself and go into what is harder in order to do it. Thank you for doing what you do both of you.
I’ve chosen to be alone, So I don’t feel lonely. And Alex said the exact reason Why. . . I’d like to CONTROL my environment or at least what could happen it. I’m only 2 mins in. So I’m going to finish listening and comment again.
Thanks to Alex, I feel normal when I look at my work ethic and how I operate in life. Sharing what he shares, liberates me and it’s a great feeling to know it’s okay to work hard and expect more from yourself. See you in a few years Alex!
I am incredibly impressed at how articulate and purposeful both of you are with your words. The amount of time Alex spends considering each question he’s asked and formulating his answer is incredible and inspiring. Thanks for such an amazing interview. I’m glad I found my to your content.
"Volume negates luck". Love this. A coach in a sport I'm studying says "Volume cures variance" ie the small variances off a perfectly accurate shot are cured by taking so many more shots that You score more points overall.
If you can be in a bad mood for no reason, you might as well be in a good mood for no reason. If it’s not going to change your life it shouldn’t change your mood. If the cost is peace of mind, don’t buy it. 2:43:43 that statement helped me today. Thank you guys for uplifting and direct conversation.
I listen to this episode every single day. By now I know it basically off by heart. It’s the best MW episode for real no-bullshit advice. Lessons that are genuinely applicable to day-day life for people if any class, living any lifestyle. Thank you Chris, thank you Alex, ya’ll created a masterpiece.
You two are genuinely some of the best influences I've ever experienced, and I hope one day share the stage with my own podcast and personal entrepreneurial endeavors. Much love and appreciation.
Main takeaways and learnings: 12:31 perfectionism allows people to sit back and not produce work, at a rate required to work out what actually works 13:37 volume negates luck 52:00 What would you do if you weren't afraid? (And know you couldn't fail) I have never regretted failures, i have always regretted not doing what i wanted to. 53:40 Normalize consequences and failures as win or learn. 55:30 "Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep" 1:44:08 These are continuums to be managed and not problems to be solved. 1:44:40 should you quit (pivot) or keep going (push)? - I will not stop going unless new information has come to light 2:04:04 "I will tell this story one day" "Have a larger narrative for where you're going so the large dragons you'll have to slay along the way feed into it". Basically when you need to do hard shit: do it for the story. Do it for the plot. 3:04:47 so many people waste all their time trying to solve the problem that is life, instead of living it
Most of us hate a control freak at work, but we expect a control freak to be behind everything we buy. And our standards reflect that. If customer service isn’t perfect, we can’t wait to lay into the manager, demand our money back, or write a terrible review. So the point is, when your co-worker has “too high standards”, just thank them. They’re why you’ve loved every product you’ve ever loved.
Same goes for feedback from your audience as well. If you have enough high standards for a product or UA-cam channel and you keep on iterating, success will be on the horizon.
My life changed so much when I just said what I meant. You'll be surprised how many people actually react positively. They feel secure in your company, trust your words and don't bother trying to persuade you or guilt trip you to change your mind on decisions!
“Reminder that if you want to be exceptional you’re going to be different than everyone else, that’s what makes you exceptional. You can’t fit in and also be exceptional. Both have discomfort. When you fit in, you have internal conflict because you’re not being 100% you. When you’re exceptional you have external conflict because everyone sees you as different. Pick one. When’s your friends start to say, “you’ve changed” remember its because they don’t know how to say, you’ve grown.” I hate to write down every single word…. A complex feeling articulated to perfection
Hyped! I can’t wait for more Churchill quotes! XD Both of you are huge motivations for me to do more and be better. Glad you’re putting all of this great info and these great ideas out for free. Fantastic! 👍
Wonderful gents.! Happiness comes from self progression. Daily incremental wins , that negate the daily incremental losses. Strive for the wins at the expense of the losses x
The 5th iteration is definiely like, "wow I just learned something", then the next 5 are like "man I'm really bad at this", then the next 20 are like "is it really going to take this much to be good? and then the next 60 are like "I actually enjoy this and I've come a long way from where I was, and I developed a new skill from 0 and I now have something others don't.
Yeah, I like Alex, but shooting up is cheating. If he is willing to take the easy path there, where else will he take it, and can he really be trusted?
I absolutely love the dynamic between the two of you while having this conversation! On other channels it's more an interview style but you are really having an interesting conversation with each other! Love that!
@jolseywales 😂😂 it's easy to look jacked if you have been consistent since you where 15 years old. Not everyone is disciplined. You just have an inferiority complex
If someone started listening to You guys on session 1 and started DOING THE THINGS. Listened to round two STILL DOING THE THINGS with new kick in the ass. Now is listening to this nodding their head like "yes Sir. 100% agreed", having their own proof.
Im new here but man the info in their conversation is incredible. Not to mention they arent scared to have differing views, discuss them and conclude in an educational, civil and respectful manner.
I was listening to the podcast and the first time I felt, “daaamn! That’s so true!” I hit the like button. But then that feeling came multiple times. And I searched for the like button again not realising i had already like the video. wish I could like it multiple times. Man, such good quality content.
I'm wanting to start a business, I was thinking of working in the industry to know the ins and outs. My research will be great, thanks to you guys. I also want to do a survey to make sure of my investment. Data to analyse beforehand. By the way "Double eye candy with intelligence is sooooo good" Thankyou both for just being honest and yourselves.❤

I kept looking down at my phone...is it buffering, did I lose the signal, why aren't they talking?
Facts!!

One of the best podcasts I've ever watched. Some key takeaways:

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.

One of my personal quotes is 'I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not'
False
@@Nicegirlsilverwhy is that false?
Gandhi said “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony". I love this definition because it suggests that happiness is not necessarily this euphoric feeling we chase nor is it a continuous construct. No person is always happy.
Its like happiness is when you're flowing in life, no ifs, buts, whys, whens. Just do and move forward.
I've heard it said before that we shouldn't chase happiness, because happiness can easily be fleeting. Instead, we should be chasing contentment, not only because it's more achievable but it will last longer too
You know what I most like about Alex and Chris’ conversations, they both listen to one other and let the other speak their thoughts out
Of course, it's because they're lovers 😂

I think I attack life at 100% everyday but I don't know how to change at the rate he is. It is insane.. Thanks for the pod I rewatch them constantly.
Do you remember the documentary name Chris mentioned that was on Netflix?
I think many designers suggest that lack of attention is due to not caring , but I feel that people can’t physically see what you see .
This episode is magical. I hope every young man sees this.
Or young woman.. women are being told a load of bull these days.
Listening to them speak, I feel less alone in my life striving for what I want. My other mentors and coaches hit chords on the topics Alex and Chris dissect in these 3 episodes (the other two are part).
I truly feel like I've gained them as part of my community that really do encourage me while also calling me out for not reaching for what I say I want. I'm grateful for their wisdom and their support through the webs.
Thank you both, see you guys soon.
Epic one!
It took me a moment to realize what you do that is different from other podcasters, what makes you exceptional Chris here it is:
- You ask excellent, yet succinct questions Chris
- You HOLD the space for your guests to freely and completely express themselves
- When you have something to add, it is very insightful, to the point and valid for the conversation (you don't make it about you).
Thank you for being who and how you are and for allowing us to be part of it! 💗
I had a friend who loved to show up and challenge everyone just to spark passionate debates and come out feeling like he "won." One day, we all decided to respond to everything he said, whether true or false, with a simple "You're right." That day, he was visibly frustrated -- it was hilarious to see that all he really wanted was to be the guy who’s always "right." Despite that, he's still a good friend.
That's funny AF.
It's so crazy that I know someone who's exactly like this. My resolution and that of others has always been to respond saying "You're right".
This is thee most meditative episode, Chris. Thank you for embracing the still moments. There is nothing quiet about the silence you allow in this conversation!
I have watched this conversation every day for more than a month and I am still watching it.
Why
Chris thank you for letting Alex be Alex by allowing him to reflect oh his past thoughts. A masterful exhibit of picking his mind so we can possess the gems of wisdom he possesses.
I would pay a monthly subscription to hear these guys talk about Business and Life more often!
Side note: a song I'm finding really motivational right now (sounds random but go listen and you'll see why) is Shakira's "Try Everything" I sing it with my kiddos, I'm raising them to be fearless in pursuit of their personal greatness :)
Thats song is uplifting 😅
I love how alex simplifies everything. I feel so enlightened and so fucking dumb at the same time.
😂😂😂You are so not alone!
That feeling when someone literally defines why you feel the way you feel, whilst others try to convince you not feel, or think, or do, because they aren’t willing to do even 1% more. But it’s all you know how to do..
This podcast is straight fire right from the beginning 👏🏻
So many powerful takeaways. As somebody in those early stages of going for my dreams, it's often hard to discern if what I'm doing is right. But all you really gotta do is continue. Outlast the doubt, the fear, the uncertainty, and cherish the journey, as much as possible, every step of the way.
"So many people waste all their time trying to solve a problem that is life, rather than living it.” - Hormozi
This hit, so hard.
No one has lived your life before. Keep your eyes and ears open, and refine your intuition! You're it.
Likewise! Good luck to you!
The idea that your own opinion and happiness with yourself is all that matters in your life hit hard for me. Thanks guys 🙏 .
38 Mins in, already one of the best conversations I've ever listened to on high standards and authenticity.
Can't wait to binge watch this episode !
LOLOLOL. Literally 9 episodes of anime 😂😂😂
My brother in Christ you cannot binge watch a single episode any more than you can binge drink a lone beer.

Alex Hormozi is a very interesting case study of sacrificing everything to make it in terms of entrepreneurship. I am definitely by no means the same personality type and our values are completely different, I just want enough autonomy over my life that I can do what I want when I want without having to report to a typical 9-5 job.
Some of those lessons in this video ring hard and true. One of them that I can relate is the eternal grind in the shadows before making a success story and building up enough value to an audience to actually sell something.
It is going to be a long road, boys. Hope you can tag along with me.
That really is the hard truth about entrepreneurship - the only way to make it is being willing to sacrifice everything for it. And even then it's no guarantee of success. You have to be willing to give everything for an extremely low chance of success, and most people aren't. Statistically it makes no sense. The true sign of a great entrepreneur is one who knows just how unlikely the outcome is, yet strives for it anyways.
As a fellow Nate, rock on!
'Sacrifice everything'. What does that mean exactly?
The long, DEAD SILENT pauses make me think my headphones have disconnected
Man you guys are gold together.
The ending is the best, where Alex talks about his ‘controversial views’ on life. More of this, Chris 👌🏼
2:18:15 -"Everything is terrible all the time, forever."
When I was younger, I'd have said "this is very negative". But younger me didn't do much to support that statement.
So at this point in my life, this quote is extremely resourceful to help me take the necessary actions to overcome my (current, nearly unbearable) adversities.
Thank you.
Oh, there it is:
2:29:50 -
If I were a Transformer, I would be "Chronic Optimist", my toxic trait is "positivity". I tried being pragmatic, owning my circumstances realistically for the last 18 months or so. This has backfired and reflected exponentially on my health, wellbeing and succes.
I still think chronic optimism does better for me by gaslightng myself into positivity.
But this... Alex's stoic inputs are very resourceful right now
I dont very much relate to Alex's crazy hustle lifestyle, it honestly does not motivate me much. But what I do gain from these conversations, and what is priceless for me, is how you guys reinforce the unshakable belief in oneself, even when everyone tells you you are wrong. Thats basically the story of my life and its nice to hear from time to time that you are not crazy. Its just so hard to be able to withstand the constant bombardment of doubt from everyone and still be able to say "no, I am right" with confidence
On a different note, soo I guess the guy Chris talked about being cancelled and who was worried he was a coward was... Rogan?
May be that's Lex Friedman?..
I truly really hope he doesn't stop doing these... Because these conversations are what any entrepreneur needs to learn from.
Alex's strength isn't "building businesses". It is communication. Which is the most important skill to build businesses :)
29 year old with cancer here, trust me. I understand the constant truth or death. I’ve almost died 4 times and was fully aware of it on 2 of those occasions feeling myself slip out of life. And knowing it happens to everyone eventually is not an ease to the fear because there’s so much I still want to do.
The honest truth is we all know we are going to die but most of us don’t believe it.
Like, it’s easier to be able to live without believing in your certain death. The hard part of dealing with shit like terminal cancer is you don’t just know you’re gunna die you have to believe it and believe it’s gunna happen soon. Which means accepting a loss of everything you wanted to do without ever having done any of it.
Death is hard to accept man.
wishing you a healthy life bro ♥
Incredible episode!! THANK YOU for not including commercials! The flow here is INSANE!! I just discovered Alex last week on this very podcast and have been binging his content ever since. So glad for a fresh episode!
I've listened to this podcast minimum of 4 times now. Absolutely love it, can't wait for the next one! Thank you Chris and Alex for putting this on
THE QUALITY, IS JUST... IN A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! Ty! We can "feel" your perfectionism paying off!
I believe he frames it as having very high standards rather than being a perfectionist. What do you think?
@@ellesab4873
I THINK CLEAR AND SIMPLE SO TO ENLIGHTEN. THE PERDECTION IS QUALITY TREATED A WHOLE VERY WAY OFF WAY FROM WHAT I HEARD. WAAY OFF
Chris and Alex are a dynamic duo. This is some of the very best dialogue I've ever heard, and I'd wager ever recorded. No one can dispute Alex's business acumen, however his knowledge and understanding of real trauma appears to be non-existent. That there are clear physiological and neurochemical markers in infants and children who've been traumatized is also beyond dispute. If a young one has experienced deep and prolonged trauma, but never learns to face and process it, it will almost certainly act as a powerful constraint on the options and choices available to him or her later in life. Whole swarths of reality will fall outside the range of such a person's perceptual landscape. It's for this reason that undigested trauma is the cause of so much human conflict and suffering, and for Alex to imply that a person can simply make a decision to act against their internal reality is naively simplistic . Another problem is that the word itself has been hijacked and corrupted in modern parlance, but we'll save that for another time.
This comment is so poignant and insightful. Healing my traumas, or rather addressing them and having done a lot of healing for them, was one of the most liberating and positively life changing things I've ever done. I still have a long way to go.
There's a saying in psychology apparently that goes like "you're responsible for all things that you're not responsible for".
That is to say you are responsible for healing the traumas that you experienced, that weren't your fault that they happened to you.
Healing generational trauma is one of the most worthwhile things a human can do. I say that a lot.
I love this interview, especially the last point resonated with my own internal feel. I actually shouted: “Thank you!” while walking through the city listening to your podcast
It just gives me the feeling that am gonna have some stuff to think about for the next month that will be worthy .
Alex is right about happiness. For years I tried to be happy. Made me miserable.
Now I try to do what's right for me to do. I feel happy a lot of the time.
Alex's point about accepting you're not going to be liked by people around you to be liked by yourself hit hard. That's something I think anyone with a conscience will struggle with.
23:20 even if anyone copies the formula, they will have no idea what to do if something goes wrong, and thats where u win
A true, profound, exceptional, dinamic dialogue between two self educated people like these, I have not seen before, and is the top of what podcast became at this moment from my point of view. 🙏👌
Just started watching this episode, but I have to say, I have seen movies with less image quality that this. Thanks for caring about that, and thanks in advance for this 3 hours masterclass.
In all my years of consuming content online, I have never seen someone quite as succinct, intellectual & brilliant as Chris Williamson. I would pay great deals of money to sit down and have a 1 hour conversation with this man. I would be beyond absorbed in his wisdom. Keep going Chris, your content is a glitter of beauty in a sea of unoriginal, bubblegum media.
This was so fire lol so many gems packed in here. I have lots of respect and admiration for these guys.
Guys this was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. The messages I needed at the perfect time. Authenticity is the path and that’s why it’s easy to believe what Alex is saying because he’s telling us the truth that we need to hear and I know when I’m listen to truth, because the truth makes me stronger, even if I have to face myself and go into what is harder in order to do it. Thank you for doing what you do both of you.
What a powerful episode! Great stuff from start to finish
To be honest, this is the best podcast episode that I heard in years, kudos to both of you, thank you :)
I’ve chosen to be alone, So I don’t feel lonely. And Alex said the exact reason Why. . . I’d like to CONTROL my environment or at least what could happen it. I’m only 2 mins in. So I’m going to finish listening and comment again.
Thanks to Alex, I feel normal when I look at my work ethic and how I operate in life. Sharing what he shares, liberates me and it’s a great feeling to know it’s okay to work hard and expect more from yourself. See you in a few years Alex!
It's always amazing to listen to both of you chatting. Thank you for everything
I have listened to this podcast 10 times and every time I find something new and useful to use in my daily life
Damn I know, every time you realize something new, there’s something else that stands out in this video.
I think I'll watch this episode 100 times
I am incredibly impressed at how articulate and purposeful both of you are with your words. The amount of time Alex spends considering each question he’s asked and formulating his answer is incredible and inspiring.
Thanks for such an amazing interview. I’m glad I found my to your content.
Life changing episode. Thank you so much
Apparently that is worth $2. 😂
Why are you donating to someone who doesn't even interact with his viewers?
@@joshuatrott193it’s an internet tip, how much one should give?
the even more fun thing is people are giving away money to the rich @@WH2012
"Volume negates luck". Love this.
A coach in a sport I'm studying says "Volume cures variance" ie the small variances off a perfectly accurate shot are cured by taking so many more shots that You score more points overall.
Thank you for always posting such eye-opening conversations Chris!
If you can be in a bad mood for no reason, you might as well be in a good mood for no reason. If it’s not going to change your life it shouldn’t change your mood. If the cost is peace of mind, don’t buy it. 2:43:43 that statement helped me today. Thank you guys for uplifting and direct conversation.
There are so many great lines. This it’s nuts. They are going to be able to cut this into so much content.
I listen to this episode every single day.
By now I know it basically off by heart.
It’s the best MW episode for real no-bullshit advice.
Lessons that are genuinely applicable to day-day life for people if any class, living any lifestyle.
Thank you Chris, thank you Alex, ya’ll created a masterpiece.
Alex speaking truths of life. I am so ready to be hurt by his truths. What a talent he has.
I'd say this might be one of the most valuable discussions I have ever heard.
You two are genuinely some of the best influences I've ever experienced, and I hope one day share the stage with my own podcast and personal entrepreneurial endeavors. Much love and appreciation.
Main takeaways and learnings:
12:31 perfectionism allows people to sit back and not produce work, at a rate required to work out what actually works
13:37 volume negates luck
52:00 What would you do if you weren't afraid? (And know you couldn't fail)
I have never regretted failures, i have always regretted not doing what i wanted to.
53:40 Normalize consequences and failures as win or learn.
55:30 "Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep"
1:44:08 These are continuums to be managed and not problems to be solved.
1:44:40 should you quit (pivot) or keep going (push)? - I will not stop going unless new information has come to light
2:04:04 "I will tell this story one day"
"Have a larger narrative for where you're going so the large dragons you'll have to slay along the way feed into it". Basically when you need to do hard shit: do it for the story. Do it for the plot.
3:04:47 so many people waste all their time trying to solve the problem that is life, instead of living it
The last 3 hours and 15 minutes of this conversation is really good
The fact that I have the opportunity to sit down and listen to these two men have this conversation is benign
Most of us hate a control freak at work, but we expect a control freak to be behind everything we buy. And our standards reflect that. If customer service isn’t perfect, we can’t wait to lay into the manager, demand our money back, or write a terrible review.
So the point is, when your co-worker has “too high standards”, just thank them. They’re why you’ve loved every product you’ve ever loved.
Same goes for feedback from your audience as well. If you have enough high standards for a product or UA-cam channel and you keep on iterating, success will be on the horizon.
100% agree with you, Nate
My life changed so much when I just said what I meant. You'll be surprised how many people actually react positively. They feel secure in your company, trust your words and don't bother trying to persuade you or guilt trip you to change your mind on decisions!
This podcast feels like a movie
“Reminder that if you want to be exceptional you’re going to be different than everyone else, that’s what makes you exceptional. You can’t fit in and also be exceptional. Both have discomfort.
When you fit in, you have internal conflict because you’re not being 100% you. When you’re exceptional you have external conflict because everyone sees you as different.
Pick one.
When’s your friends start to say, “you’ve changed” remember its because they don’t know how to say, you’ve grown.”
I hate to write down every single word….
A complex feeling articulated to perfection
Hyped! I can’t wait for more Churchill quotes! XD
Both of you are huge motivations for me to do more and be better. Glad you’re putting all of this great info and these great ideas out for free. Fantastic! 👍
Always love listening to Alex. You don’t have to question if he’s really “in the arena”.
Wonderful gents.! Happiness comes from self progression. Daily incremental wins , that negate the daily incremental losses. Strive for the wins at the expense of the losses x
The quote about art for yourself is from Rick Rubin.
The 5th iteration is definiely like, "wow I just learned something", then the next 5 are like "man I'm really bad at this", then the next 20 are like "is it really going to take this much to be good? and then the next 60 are like "I actually enjoy this and I've come a long way from where I was, and I developed a new skill from 0 and I now have something others don't.
This video is so good! Like bro if I don’t change after this I must be a dumbass 😂😂 that’s so crazy
Same G😂
So Gooooood! I had no idea what your story was Chris. Glad Alex Hormozi share a moment of it.
I need to know Alex’s shoulder workout….
40 Minutes in and I cant help watching on Alex Bizeps😮 really enyojable conversation so far. Perfect content
Awesome interview!! Alex is back on big boy T doses 😂💪🏻
Yeah, I like Alex, but shooting up is cheating. If he is willing to take the easy path there, where else will he take it, and can he really be trusted?
You can tell this one means a lot to Chris! Been waiting for this one.
I absolutely love the dynamic between the two of you while having this conversation! On other channels it's more an interview style but you are really having an interesting conversation with each other! Love that!
This podcast was just reading off a long list of different inspirational quotes and talking about them.
And the problem is?
And it was wonderful
I just can’t respect a man who takes short cuts 💉
@jolseywales 😂😂 it's easy to look jacked if you have been consistent since you where 15 years old. Not everyone is disciplined. You just have an inferiority complex
If someone started listening to You guys on session 1 and started DOING THE THINGS. Listened to round two STILL DOING THE THINGS with new kick in the ass. Now is listening to this nodding their head like "yes Sir. 100% agreed", having their own proof.
Show me a podcast that's aged better than this one
Im new here but man the info in their conversation is incredible. Not to mention they arent scared to have differing views, discuss them and conclude in an educational, civil and respectful manner.
I was listening to the podcast and the first time I felt, “daaamn! That’s so true!” I hit the like button. But then that feeling came multiple times.
And I searched for the like button again not realising i had already like the video. wish I could like it multiple times. Man, such good quality content.
Only 21 lessons? Lol, let me get a pen and paper. This channel is serious
55:02 that jumpcut was phenomenal
2:15:19
2:15:33 ------> pivotal brick action
3:09:34 ---> 99% NAVAL
Thumbs up if your also a wantraprenuer
I'm wanting to start a business, I was thinking of working in the industry to know the ins and outs. My research will be great, thanks to you guys. I also want to do a survey to make sure of my investment. Data to analyse beforehand.
By the way "Double eye candy with intelligence is sooooo good" Thankyou both for just being honest and yourselves.❤
