Brother, your candor is refreshing. Your honesty is unselfishly... honest. You are a great American who I feel very fortunate to have found on this journey.
2:40 as someone who basically lived over a grocery store, that apartment was by far my favorite. You don’t know, until you’ve experienced it. Imagine: you’re cooking and forgot an ingredient, you don’t even need to turn off the stove to get what you need. Craving something, say no more. Since you’re going to the grocery store multiple times a day you learn all the prices by hear pretty much and know when something is cheaper which saves you money. No reason to spend more than 10min shopping for food either because you only buy exactly what you’re going to use that day which also means less wasted food. It’s incredible.
This guys just a genius, awesome to finally be able to watch someone who is successful off of conducting actual business as opposed to youtubers that preach business with no actual data or evidence to back it up - Love it! Keep this going!
There isn’t another video on the internet that hit on so many real topics in such a straight forward way. I’ve been thinking, experimenting, seeking advice on a similar path since I sold a business 2 years ago. This was extremely helpful, thought out and articulated so well, thank you! The “my life has been a series of seasons” hit home man!
It’s insane the amount of extension Alex has allowed me to vision through his videos. Amazing work and keep it up. It’s so crucial and a bit humorous at the same time Which is a nice touch.
Total respect to you Alex, from what I see you seem to be a genuine down to earth guy with great attitude to life. I'm 61 years old now an unknown artist & still following my dreams & will never give up till the day I die. One day I will reach my goals whether through my art or something else. Thanks for sharing your thought's.
Wow. Thanks ! I’m truly on the path of selling my stuff to be able to earn more and set up my next chapter on a steady financial base and this helped me a lot to search for and analyse what will actually be useful for me and what stuff is keeping me from my next chapter
The fact that you like flying under the radar most of the time makes me relate to you so much more than other guys out there talking about this stuff. I feel like so many others are all about that lifestyle and I couldn't care less so I have to try and separate all that out.
2 years ago I owned a home in Ohio and a business. I accumulated a lot of things that I thought brought meaning to my life. But I was still unhappy so when the pandemic hit things got slow with my business and didn't look like they were coming back. So I decided to sell everything off and move to Texas. I started a new business that I actually enjoy and live in a place I actually like. You don't realize how much The things you have hold you back from what you really want until you let them go. Just thought I'd share that. And thanks for the great content Alex.
I'm with you on the 2 to 3 homes lifestyle. I've travelled a lot in my life and I have found a half dozen places that feel like home. They all have seasons where the weather is fantastic and the vibe is great. I think moving around several times a year to capture those ideal seasons would be the perfect life. Starting it all this year! :)
I’m doing this too. Thanks Alex. On a way way smaller scale. But for similar reasons. I have spent most of my life chasing hedonists pleasures, and I’m running out of ideas. I had the greatest year in my business last year and it just sent me down an emotional roller coaster. Just not excited by or attached to anything. I’m trying to sell all of my possessions and go on an adventure. Wish me luck ✊🏽
This is so timely, I'm in deciding between selling my home to try and just "live out of a bag" or just keep my place as a home base but renovate it to refresh it to be exactly how I want it. I feel I might be making the mistake of "overcorrecting" you mentioned. I've lived in this place for the last 5 years and have accumulated a lot of junk that I never use. Honestly, I'd love to get rid of 95% of it because it ends up taking head space which seems to be the scarce resource for me. I'm getting rid of one business and trying to simply my portfolio as well which will hopefully help - but I was really fantasizing about the next nomad season of just traveling around minimally and just renting / buying cheap things as and when I needed them.
📌 Several years back I did the same thing. Sold/gave away everything minus suitcases. My daughter did the same. We moved to Europe. Home based it in The Netherlands. We lived that way for 4 years in a beautiful furnished home. We also came to similar conclusions. First, living in a foreign country had its own set of stressors. We couldn’t read street signs, or even our own mail. Second, we came to realize having deep, meaningful discussions was difficult due to translation. Third, having a ‘home base’ that’s yours to do with as you please, keeps the creative juices flowing... at least for us. We wouldn’t trade those 4 years for anything. We grew and grew and grew. In the end, we learned, home is an extension of ones soul. Just found ya dear man. Excellent channel. 👊😎
I agree with this bc I lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for a year. Everyone gave me the expectation that I wouldn’t like it, so my expectations weren’t too elevated going in. My rent was $340 a month including all utilities. I had my work, a gym, and all my favorite coffee spots and restaurants all within a 5-10 minute vicinity. When I wanted to do something fun I would go 1-2 hours east to bigger cities. It was a great place to live, and I grew a lot in my career bc of limited distractions.
This is a phenomenal video. I just had a similar discussion with my best friend. I told him I am living as a minimalist now for the next few years. I have substantial lofty money goals and do not want to worry about anything except scaling my ideas. This inspired me greatly. I absolutely love this video.
Alex wants density and mixed-use areas all while being close to nature. In North America, not many cities can offer you that aside from the Pacific north west area. If you don't mind the rain Vancouver would check off many of those boxes.
You're dope bro. I also travelled the US heavily in 2018-2019. My wife and I wanted to try the nomadic/live here and there lifestyle. Now you solved that for us!
This video is really on point, thank you for making it. I also sold everything I own because I wanted to reset my life. I ended up living out of a suitcase and traveled for 4 years to see where I'd ultimately want to settle in and start my new life. After a few years of traveling, I really missed having a home base with my own stuff and my own neighborhood with familiar faces and local places to go. I ended up moving to Polanco in Mexico City because to me it seemed like a perfect mix of what I wanted in a home base. I've never been happier and hope everyone has the chance to reset. I have learned so much from you and wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
This is a fantastic video, truly. Heard nothing but positive things about you from our mutual friends. I did make/am making the location sacrifice for taxes in a large way (Puerto Rico) for a 4 year season. I greatly respect how you are structuring your environment(s) and the ways by which you came to those conclusions.
I've been following Alex for a long time now and funnily enough, you Hayden for even longer! I've learnt a ton from the two of you. Thanks for all the value you put out bud!
@@KrisVic91 Most people trade time to build a skill or expertise that they can produce a good or service that others fined desirable. Another is to own an asset that you can charge others access to said asset.
This was amazing. I want to do the whole nomad thing around the world now in my 20's but I definitely couldn't do it indefinitely. As far as materialism, I completely agree (although I am a car guy), I don't need more "stuff".
Fun video; fun Cabo story lol. The marginal utility of "stuff" is somethin economists think about a lot. I think "waste" when buying things for status is a feature not a bug. The flex is that you have so many resources you don't care if it is waste. I agree with you that the waste is unbearable though. Congrats on the houses!
Loved this, a lot of stuff I have been thinking about. Can't wait to see your decision metrics. I have found that taking your advice about 'doing the work' for its own sake and not for the reward has changed my life emotionally immensely. So calm and happy and I'm getting alot more done and finding joy in it all Thank you again Alex
Watching this I’m glad you have hired an editor for the videos. Comparing it to your earlier videos these newer ones are a lot more cleaner and flow better. The editing is clean and not distracting.
2 to 4 homes are so much , those are liabilities . Thanks God i have people like Uncle G as my mentor since young age, the place i live in is a rental , i dont even own a single home and i will never do, and am very minmailistic with every thing else, i dont buy shit i dont need. Thanks Alex, i enjoyed listing to the experiences you had.
Hedonic adaptation is fucking crazy for me. Just bought a $1k+ iPad Pro and 4 hours into using it, all the novelty has worn out. Luckily, I bought it for business use so it wasn't wasted.
Thank you for your time and knowledge. I always get so much value from what you have to say. Transparency and truth are key and you like to be blunt, I enjoy that. Keep on crushing it with your self discovery.
Hey Alex. I really like your content. I'm a Textile Engineer. And let me tell you, the best comfort clothes are the most mass market tested ones and the sports utility outfits like high tech jerseys. Don't buy less comfortable clothes for more money.
This is great, Alex. Your words are often what I find myself thinking about. Nice to see someone further along "the path" with a similar analytical perspective. YT algorithm nailed it with this rec
You are the goat sir I’ve been watching your videos none stop if I had a million dollars I would pay to sit with you because I know you would give me millions worth of knowledge, I will continue to watch and pray you only keep Going up peace and love be blessed.
I own a small gym, I do ok but not great. Evidently I lack the skills and or talent to scale. I’m gonna watch and listen to Alex’s videos and see if I can go into 50% retirement in 6 months and full time retirement in a year. Wish me luck.
That’s exactly how I live my life and it’s a constant struggle receiving criticism from friends, family and even wife. Simplicity and functions over BS.
Being minimal and buying/using only what you need makes a lot of sense. It also reduces stress and increases the energy and space since there is less management of things.
Really cool to see the human side of you Alex. Meaning you do have thoughts like us normal people. Gives me more hope for being as focused as you. Thanks for sharing
At some point being efficient with money is not the driver. No pockets in a casket. Do what you love while feeling comfortable with those you love..... it's just another choice.
Interesting to see the "influence" or thought process of who I would like to be in the future, the fake gurus and people on social media are so disconnected from really, which makes me feel sick. Either way, I like your content, it's incredible to me how much you got to know yourself and how you keep making the wold a better place, I tak away the fact that the work that you do, is more stimulating than the outside world, that is huge man. The gym actitude is extremely important, I just developed the habit for 7 months and it improved my life so much, I love watching the guy on the mirror, everytime and with no clothes lol. Idk why is so Pleasant and fills me with joy. The homebase concept is another interesting realization. Tells a lot about leasing and buying for me in the future, that helps a lot Taking a jet against 1st class, men if I have to travel for work, I wouldn't even care. Thank you for sharing, as I said you are in my radar and you have the mindset that I like to have at some point
I look forward to a video on curated decision algorithms! That might be as useful and impactful as anything I've seen. Thanks as always for your great insights.
I've seriously been thinking about doing this... Not that I have a ton of stuff but for some reason the idea of selling it all and being able to move around with no hassle is super appealing. But the best part of this video and why I like you is you're worth 100M and don't mind making videos in a closet because you're focused on things that matter instead of all the bullshit that 99% of people care about. As a business owner I appreciate it.
Creating algorithms so that you can focus on making new decisions and not re-making old decision is a super valuable piece of advise. I'm an actuary in the P&C space (about 2 years into my career) and that's one of the most significant principals that I have learned on my own, first hand. At my first job I was told that actuaries only do ad-hoc work, which is when I realized that I was working for the wrong company. At the company I work for now, I spend all of my time creating new systems and improving existing systems because I have identified outputs that could be produced systematically at the same time every month/quarter, rather than sporadically (ad-hoc) every month/quarter.
Cant get enough of this - you ever think of doing a live show with you and your wife - Like Grant and Elena used to do - would be classic. I will do it when I find my other half.
Just started watching you Alex based on the super simple get in shape protocol. Altho I was familiar with the approach, the way you told it made so much more sense than before. And started watching ur other videos, im sold! I also are starting a buisness but also have alot of assets but not the cash flow that I want to that limits my freedom and flexibility and most of my time goes to maintaince of things. So I think, I need to get rid of alot of shit laying around, selling this I don't use and get another mindset to my life. So thanks!
I think you give a tremendous amount of value and I'm really appreciative of it. In that same vein, is there a general timeline when the rest of your courses or books might come out?
Bro. I don't know if you're going to see this - but damn. I just want to give you a hug You've really helped me reset my mindset and it's going to pay huge dividends Thank you.
I’m barely middle class at this point and I get NOT being able to have meaningful conversations with people that aren’t wealthy. Hopefully that means I’m on the right track. I think so….
5:29 - 100% agree. Makes sense about the neighbors about having common ground, being extremely close where you live and have those around you who have the same mind set. Taking this nuggest with me once I hit the 1M mark!
@@kaoticmind09 Same. We all start out like that. I've had roommates to subsidize my mortgage or rent, and I'm finding out al of these roommates have no common ground to reach growth/scale level in their career the way I do.
Alex, you are a very interesting person. Thank you for being honest and truthfull. This video helped me fully understand my own way of thinking. Hello from Russia!
Sold apartment, have nice amount of $ liquidity on hand. No job and no rush to find one. Next important decision is whether or not to extend the current ski holiday for another few days.
Love this. I thought about living out of hotel for a while and then finding a home base. I agree with what u say, have the home base and then travel at will. Good stuff thanks.
The only sick gym around me is 35 min away I completely understand the walking distance situation you waste so much time commuting that messes up prime productivity time.
Just want to say thank you for sharing so much. I find myself rewatching at least one video a day and sending them to people I know in hopes they can gain some knowledge also. Now i’m reading atomic habits and that book is amazing. I appreciate you very much
Lol...going from a Infinity that looked great on the outside to a Toyota 2 door car that's old your right people run me off the road everyday. It's psychological status for them what we drive.
Thanks for sharing your journey brother. Those homes can double as Event spaces as well. That’s my plan to buy 200 acres for outdoor camping events for kids/ families. Aka business/life training events. Thanks again for 100 M $ Offers book🤯
Thanks for sharing! I have so many things in common, love choosing functionality and I have the same feelings..feeling guilty seeing so much wasted form clothing, to housing Reno’s, to my jewellery, even bought a sports car and ended up selling it.. I live for my gym, my comfortable clothing (rotating to higher quality like you), my simple activities like sports, being with my kids and nature around me. One of my old lives was cleaning up peoples messes as an environmental engineer and that was instrumental to realizing this.
Such an eye opening video. As my success has grown over the years I've consider some of the things you mentioned in this video, it is amazing hear your prospective on everything. Thank you for taking the time to make a video like this.
The difference is he bought the nice house and cars and saw that it doesn't make him any happier. But people who haven't seen the life style shouldn't say money don't bring happiness.
I learned about the pooled leasing of luxury cars about 15 years ago in Santa Clarita. There was a Mickey Mouse alumnus who signed up with a guy at the restaurant / tasting room on the spot when he heard about it. I'm not a car guy (like Alex), so it didn't mean anything to me. But having a Mickey Mouse alumnus tell me about his show in London and buy me bottle after bottle of fine wine was pretty cool. So my takeaway was... if you don't make $1 million per month, hang out with people who have hedonic adaptation to their wealth and don't mind spending it on strangers.
Kind of curious if Leila shares the same views about material items. Considering Women tend to shop more than Men I'd have to assume she has more in her closet than a handful of tank tops. Congrats on the new home purchase! Would love to see a tour video if you're willing to share. Thanks!

I about died when the "the more you know" gif came on. 😂
Thanks for sharing as always
Interesting to see the "influence" or thought process of who I would like to be in the future, the fake gurus and people on social media are so disconnected from really, which makes me feel sick.
Either way, I like your content, it's incredible to me how much you got to know yourself and how you keep making the wold a better place,
I tak away the fact that the work that you do, is more stimulating than the outside world, that is huge man.
The gym actitude is extremely important, I just developed the habit for 7 months and it improved my life so much, I love watching the guy on the mirror, everytime and with no clothes lol. Idk why is so Pleasant and fills me with joy.
The homebase concept is another interesting realization. Tells a lot about leasing and buying for me in the future, that helps a lot
Taking a jet against 1st class, men if I have to travel for work, I wouldn't even care.
Thank you for sharing, as I said you are in my radar and you have the mindset that I like to have at some point
I look forward to a video on curated decision algorithms! That might be as useful and impactful as anything I've seen. Thanks as always for your great insights.
I've seriously been thinking about doing this... Not that I have a ton of stuff but for some reason the idea of selling it all and being able to move around with no hassle is super appealing.
But the best part of this video and why I like you is you're worth 100M and don't mind making videos in a closet because you're focused on things that matter instead of all the bullshit that 99% of people care about. As a business owner I appreciate it.
Alex this video was spot-on
Creating algorithms so that you can focus on making new decisions and not re-making old decision is a super valuable piece of advise. I'm an actuary in the P&C space (about 2 years into my career) and that's one of the most significant principals that I have learned on my own, first hand. At my first job I was told that actuaries only do ad-hoc work, which is when I realized that I was working for the wrong company. At the company I work for now, I spend all of my time creating new systems and improving existing systems because I have identified outputs that could be produced systematically at the same time every month/quarter, rather than sporadically (ad-hoc) every month/quarter.
... I was living vicariously through the travel, jets and money talk. Damn.
Cant get enough of this - you ever think of doing a live show with you and your wife - Like Grant and Elena used to do - would be classic. I will do it when I find my other half.
Thanks for explaining your thoughts. I was wondering why you sold everything and what were the next steps. I appreciate your time.
Just started watching you Alex based on the super simple get in shape protocol. Altho I was familiar with the approach, the way you told it made so much more sense than before. And started watching ur other videos, im sold! I also are starting a buisness but also have alot of assets but not the cash flow that I want to that limits my freedom and flexibility and most of my time goes to maintaince of things. So I think, I need to get rid of alot of shit laying around, selling this I don't use and get another mindset to my life. So thanks!
I think you give a tremendous amount of value and I'm really appreciative of it. In that same vein, is there a general timeline when the rest of your courses or books might come out?
Please continue sharing your experiences and life lessons. Your level of thinking is helping me improve thought process and decision making.
Bro. I don't know if you're going to see this - but damn.
I just want to give you a hug
You've really helped me reset my mindset and it's going to pay huge dividends
Thank you.
I’m barely middle class at this point and I get NOT being able to have meaningful conversations with people that aren’t wealthy.
Hopefully that means I’m on the right track. I think so….
Yes entrepreneurship is mindset first, skillset second, results come later.
I did the same in Europe. Riga, Tallinn, Moscow, Kiev, London, Vienna. Settled on Tallinn Estonia.
I’ve heard Estonia’s popular with entrepreneurs…
5:29 - 100% agree. Makes sense about the neighbors about having common ground, being extremely close where you live and have those around you who have the same mind set. Taking this nuggest with me once I hit the 1M mark!
shit man... i pulled the frugal mark and live around people i find nothing in common with...
1M USD is nothing for the average boomer who paid a little bit of attention. It doesn't mean they have skills.
@@kaoticmind09 Same. We all start out like that. I've had roommates to subsidize my mortgage or rent, and I'm finding out al of these roommates have no common ground to reach growth/scale level in their career the way I do.
@@TokyoTaisuWhat value are you adding to this comment you wrote?
@@jenniferasalcedo what value are you adding to UA-cam pretending to be a woman when you communicate like a man?
Alex, you are a very interesting person. Thank you for being honest and truthfull. This video helped me fully understand my own way of thinking. Hello from Russia!
Sold apartment, have nice amount of $ liquidity on hand. No job and no rush to find one. Next important decision is whether or not to extend the current ski holiday for another few days.
lol this video made me move to Mexico after you mentioned Cabo. It's been fun!
We are doing the 2-3 homes as well. Mountains, ocean and one overseas.
Love this. I thought about living out of hotel for a while and then finding a home base. I agree with what u say, have the home base and then travel at will. Good stuff thanks.
The only sick gym around me is 35 min away I completely understand the walking distance situation you waste so much time commuting that messes up prime productivity time.
Just want to say thank you for sharing so much. I find myself rewatching at least one video a day and sending them to people I know in hopes they can gain some knowledge also. Now i’m reading atomic habits and that book is amazing. I appreciate you very much
Lol...going from a Infinity that looked great on the outside to a Toyota 2 door car that's old your right people run me off the road everyday. It's psychological status for them what we drive.
You are literally my mentor, watch all your videos
Thanks for sharing your journey brother. Those homes can double as Event spaces as well.
That’s my plan to buy 200 acres for outdoor camping events for kids/ families. Aka business/life training events. Thanks again for 100 M $ Offers book🤯
Thanks for sharing! I have so many things in common, love choosing functionality and I have the same feelings..feeling guilty seeing so much wasted form clothing, to housing Reno’s, to my jewellery, even bought a sports car and ended up selling it..
I live for my gym, my comfortable clothing (rotating to higher quality like you), my simple activities like sports, being with my kids and nature around me. One of my old lives was cleaning up peoples messes as an environmental engineer and that was instrumental to realizing this.
Alex is just doing side missions at this point
Such an eye opening video. As my success has grown over the years I've consider some of the things you mentioned in this video, it is amazing hear your prospective on everything. Thank you for taking the time to make a video like this.
Couldn’t agree more on private flying. Time machines and more likely to travel. Well worth it if you can.
well you don't only do the videos to help people but you do it for your marketing as well good for you good for us.
The difference is he bought the nice house and cars and saw that it doesn't make him any happier. But people who haven't seen the life style shouldn't say money don't bring happiness.
The more I listen to Alex the more I like him. Cool kat
I like your new video editor! If you see this, your work is appreciated!
Thanks for watching
Hit me up there ☝️☝️
There are profitable nods and patterns I’d love to show you.
After this Video, i ordered my privat Jet. Thanks for the Video about "sell everything" :-)
I learned about the pooled leasing of luxury cars about 15 years ago in Santa Clarita. There was a Mickey Mouse alumnus who signed up with a guy at the restaurant / tasting room on the spot when he heard about it. I'm not a car guy (like Alex), so it didn't mean anything to me. But having a Mickey Mouse alumnus tell me about his show in London and buy me bottle after bottle of fine wine was pretty cool. So my takeaway was... if you don't make $1 million per month, hang out with people who have hedonic adaptation to their wealth and don't mind spending it on strangers.
Kind of curious if Leila shares the same views about material items. Considering Women tend to shop more than Men I'd have to assume she has more in her closet than a handful of tank tops. Congrats on the new home purchase! Would love to see a tour video if you're willing to share. Thanks!
