@@user-xz9wy2sn6z You don't seem to understand the quote . Some people expect things to be easy , but when they realize how hard it is they wanna give up , THAT'S what the quote means .
“It’s usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time. It is a slow clap that’s just you just you rooting for you.” Really needed that !! Thanks for this!!
Every word said strikes me to the bone as I needed to hear this specifically today! Every experience you get in work or otherwise will come in handy later down the line.
Because that's all there is to it. There are no magic shortcuts. There's no epic music playing in the background. Nobody is clapping, cheering you, or even care. It's just you, on your own, against the obstacle in front of you. Day in, day out.
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.
@@uptamistikSo many folks come to self improvement out of shame. "Earning" it can be an easy trap. Folks with internalized shame struggle when they get to the top and still struggle with happiness. This comment you are disagreeing with is speaking to that.
Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present. I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. To actively try to be a mindful person. Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!
Straightforward truth! Alex Hormozi's no-nonsense approach on facing challenges is both motivating and eye-opening. Thanks for the tough love and valuable insights!
Everyone focusing on the steroids stuff while there is some absolutely gold wisdom in here. This really resonated with me and was exactly what I needed to hear.
Alex Hormozi's insights on embracing challenges are spot on; it's through adversity that entrepreneurs can truly innovate. For instance, when faced with a tough market, the most successful entrepreneurs use 'constraint-based innovation' to turn limitations into unique selling points. Remember, it's not just about working hard, but also about working smart and finding creative solutions within your constraints.
I'm frequently annoyed by online personalities that grew up very well off, that don't have kids or people to take care of in their lives except themselves talking about how they're the only ones making sacrifices and doing the hard work.
Criticism is fair. Also hard is subjective. Things are hard for everyone, in their own version. I think it's not right for me to compare my version of hard to yours. We all have our own demons that we have to battle. Even if someone's demons are easier for us to slay, doesn't mean they're not difficult for them to slay. You know what I mean? Everyone is on their own journey. Best of luck on yours :)
You don't know what actually goes on in the lives of these "online personalities". Some can't give up being in relationships, frequent hangouts with friends, having family and kids, so they choose to instead give up being exceptional and successfull. Others can't give up being exceptional and not having tried what they really want to do, so they give up all the pleasures of the average person- going on parties, snacking, drinking, getting married, kids... Everything in life is a tradeoff, whether you do it consciously or not. There's only 24 hours in a day, so once you chose to use it for something, you are choosing to give up on the rest. The same goes for our attention, effort and resources. And well, we do have our own priorities so there's nothing wrong with choosing one over the other. But let's not pretend we don't know who made the harder choices. Yes, we all make sacrifices but those at the top are there for a reason. The results and the respect they get is proof of how much harder and bigger their sacrifices were. Because if it wasn't, we'd all be up there too.
As a photographer, I was well impressed with Chris' videography knowledge there.... And it makes sense, the show is well lit, and looks great. Definitely has that cinematic touch.
I love listening to back stories, it gives one perspective of where you currently are in your journey. It’s almost like the journey is internal when you’ve reached a checkpoint that seems like a dead end and you feel like giving up. It’s conversations like this that give you the “Hey, just keep at it I’ve been in the same place and made it out. It’s just a level you’ll have to pass and endurance is the cheat code” vibes
Just take synthetic testosterone. I hate how we prop up people who use drugs. Would you respect someone who wrote a paper on Adderall? No. So why respect people who take other drugs that makes them "successful"
@@gladtech4740 I mean weather his physique is natural or not that’s not the subject matter. Got to respect the determination and realism of his work ethic towards business and that speaks for itself. Despite the thumbnail the frame of the conversation with Alex is rarely about bodybuilding but business and entrepreneurship.
@@ShareFestPodcast don't talk about it, be about it. This guy ain't that. Taking drugs that affects your body and psyche is taking the easy way out. This guy talks about going "the hard way" but doesn't do what he preaches. Not being on gear would be the hard way. Be about it, don't talk about it.
@@gladtech4740 Fair point. Even if he is, he still needs to show up to the gym to look like that. Plus he’s probably more in the than 90% of people, that’s the hard road. Maybe you could do everything right and never get to look like that. The “drugs” is an amplifier to reach a visual image he envisions not a shortcut
Chris, this just completely changed my entire view on how to run my business. I started in 2018 and have been thinking about giving up but then I listened to this. I’m going to tell the story someday of how this clip from a podcast of someone who I’ve never met completely changed my mindset to better my business and ultimately my family’s quality of life. Thank you is not enough. We will meet someday and I will shake your hand.
I finally finished college which due to financial reasons was hell to get through. I was never able to balance fitness, college, work and my relationship with my gf while living with my parents. I had to make the decision to finish college no matter what. It’s been difficult to decide to get back in shape no matter what but this clip reminded me that I have the ability to make that decision.
Based on the title I expected this to be some shallow "pull yourself by the bootstraps" speech. Clicked it out of morbid curiosity, but was pleasantly surprised. What I took out of this video was the whole idea of being 'the exception', and how the journey of being one is meant to be lonely. It's meant to be hard, which is all the more reason to undertake it.
Just needed to hear this right now! Was sitting in bed, 12 feet away from my wof desk, feeling guilty about not making cold calls, and fantasizing about jumping off a bridge. I am sad that my gf dumped me and all my friends just want to drink/party but I believe now is the time for me to dig my heels in and embrace the loneliness. I know what my financial goals are and I will do whatever it takes to achieve them. Thanks Hormozi
I hope 2024 will be the year of life coach bros having kids and raising a family. Is anyone else tired of hearing how important relentless grinding is? What's the point if you don't have a family.
Alex is my favorite business philosopher. "These small lonely battles, that seem to have no reward will eventually be arrows in my quiver to slay the bigger dragon". What a time to be alive.
Success works like compounded interest. It takes time to build a foundation and maintain momentum, but once you get that momentum. Your progress is like that of an avalanche. Get started, focused, committed and never quit! Life is 10 percent of what happens to me, and 90 percent of the way I RESPOND to circumstances.
So darn true, as a 49 year old everything that am proud of has been hard, most of it outside my comfort zones at the time. Enjoyed letting being outside my personal comfort zones to become comfortable.
As someone who’s been watching the show at least 2 years now pretty consistently. 2023, three of the maybe 6 people I send episodes out too have started listening close to if not regularly.
Wow, this conversation is a goldmine of wisdom! 🌟 The analogy of facing challenges as slaying dragons on the path to the treasure really hit home for me. It's refreshing to hear the honesty about the initial struggles and the reminder that the beginning is the hardest part. Alex's perspective on protecting your passion and becoming the hero of your own story resonates deeply. I'm curious, how do you all navigate the tough times and stay motivated on your journey?
I can hardly wair for the full podcast.Awesome content Chris keep up the good work,the cinematography is top notch. Funny thing that I discovered you only this year and I've watched hours upon hours of podcasts. I'm glad that the algorithm is doing a better job now at recommending your content :)
Oh wow, the ending of the video where Hormozi talks about documenting everything and one day people can look back and see how you did it... thats deep, and that makes me want to start documenting right now because thats the stage that I'm at. I'm at a stage where I am turning my business life around and starting a new venture that's going to finally put me on the road i should have travelled all that time ago. Mostly though, the video series will give me accountability because even if only one person watches the series it gives me one person thats invested and that is one person i do not want to let down, so ill find a way to overcome the obstacles and reach the next level, one step at a time. Sorry, TLDR. Thinking out loud here!
Also I love this guy and I don’t know him. It’s because he said he “lost everything” at least twice and had to sleep in his gym because he couldn’t afford two rents. Word, bro, I done lost everything more than once and more I don’t even want to talk about. But I’m building back up!!!!
I mean it’s just inherently not true though cause most of the people of influence that people “root” for are driven by desires for fame and adoration. Like in this modern society you will find very few people who have fame that weren’t driven in some way by it and the attention it brought.
It is. Do you even know what steroids do? Do you think it's a magic spell that conjures swollenness as you sleep and eat pizza? No, it's the same god damn grind as everyone else except you recover faster, thus enabling you to spend LONGER at the gym and work HARDER. Don't come into the comment section of a bloody youtube video acting like you're hard.
You're the definition of someone who pulls everybody else down because you can't stand up on your own two feet. Go and achieve something, get less insecure, and stop being resentful about the achievements of others which far surpass your own.
Yoooo the Single 👏! This is for all the individuals that has that single clap! Keep going, keep striving, keep being different! Stay true to your game-plan and pivot when necessary but keep moving forward to that North Star ⭐️
It's crazy... i swear to god I remember hearing a vid where c Chris talks abut something being hard to acquire often tricks people into thinking its valuable. Now i hear him circle jerking about doing things because they are hard It is what it is.
"The path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means you are not with other people... rather than bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you are on the right path."... the irony of that statement, is that path looks the same for a loner that accomplishes nothing, despite his best intentions or choice of vehicle. So is that really an indicator of being on the right path (or in the right vehicle)? Or is it simply a method to convince yourself not to give up before success materializes - while the truth is - you don't really know if you are on the right path (or in the right vehicle)?
I truly apreciate Alex and his work on the business side. But what I can't get behind is him lying about his steroid use and you and other podcast hosts not calling him out on it. Espescially you being good friends with James Smith who preaches against this type of misleading people.
Also, what has Alex hormozi been through his life? Some people have bad trauma and don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle as it’s way more toxic than it looks. People like that are very insecure and exhausting to deal with. They are never happy no matter how much they have.
@@HarryDry Look up ”Alex Hormonzi 6 week transformation”. He says he does trt to a normal range. Gaining 35lbs in 6 weeks (in the article he claims natural) is not possible for an experience lifter.
@@Windbend3r Well if you don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle you are not his target audiance and that’s fine. He has trauma and talks about it openly. I’m a psych major so it’s quite easy to tell.
@@MrOpticBladeGaining 35 lb of muscle would probably take someone 1.5-2 yrs min even if you’re in your prime hormonally. Maybe 1.2 min if you have freak genetics and are on an entirely program with help. I think 2 lbs per month if literally everything is optimal is the max for 99.99%
If you tell you film crew to shoot in 4K UHD then you get rid of the DCI 2:0 aspect ratio (The thin black lines top and bottom). If you really want to do something cool cinematically you could try shooting 2x anamorphic on full frame open gate. Might be weird but one could experiment and see what you think.
I like Alex hormozi but I also realize that he's on a lot of steroids, his dad was a doctor and he likes grant cardone. So even though I like him and hear what he's saying, I can't help but think he's a little plastic. He's been on this show a lot and yeah we get it 'doing complain, turn hardship into opportunities, stoicism,, stoicism.' This clip doesn't do him favors as the title suggests he went through all of this hardship but he seems to have taken an easier route to getting jacked than most people. Most people aren't on steroids/trt. It is of course difficult to take advice from someone when u believe they take the easier route but say they took the hard road. That's some KD shit.
The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact
There are absolutely routes that are better than others when it comes to doing things. If your take was true then there would be no professionals. Mentors wouldn’t be a thing, schools wouldn’t exist and nobody would be better than anyone else at anything. Funny how you nitpick about people having their thoughts laid out for them then you proceed to do the same thing.
I can’t stand people like this you have to be so insecure to need a lot of material possessions and money to make you feel like you’re worth something.
I think physical improvement is at the end of the list of improvements. We can be very healthy without being ripped like he is. I think it is overdoing. I think that mental improvement is by far superior!
@@Rufio1975 Yes, pure hypocrisy. Don't listen to what people say, look at how they act. If they say work hard and then you can see they are cheaters and take short cuts it undermines everything else they have to say, obviously.
Zero credibility. Classic example of survivorship bias and influencer marketing (i.e. adds nothing to society). All front - he is the product, not anything he does or makes. Plus he's on TRT at 30 (which cuts across his entire point of doing the "hard things") - nobody needs to be on TRT at 30 unless you're angling to put yourself forward as some kind of hard man when you're not. He's soft, all talk and has nothing useful to tell any normal joe out there trying to make it, because his whole story is a construct with nothing truly real about it.

“Expecting it to be easy makes it much harder than it needs to be.” So very true!
“It's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life.”
- Morgan Freeman, Seven(1995). Love that line and that movie
So true
Aka just use synthetic testosterone lmfao
BS of the day, if you ask me. Nobody expects anything to be easy, in fact, quite a lot of people don't even start because of the perceived difficulty.

So good. Was looking for this comment.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did
Every word said strikes me to the bone as I needed to hear this specifically today!
Every experience you get in work or otherwise will come in handy later down the line.
Alex is the man. End of story. A very underrated motivator.
“it’s hard, work through it” conversation over and over and over ad nauseam
It was hard to get through this conversation, but I worked through it
I think of a quote from the movie Fight Club "self improvement is masturbation". Well so is self-congratulatory talk about doing things the hard way.
Because that's all there is to it. There are no magic shortcuts. There's no epic music playing in the background. Nobody is clapping, cheering you, or even care. It's just you, on your own, against the obstacle in front of you. Day in, day out.

Wow, that was on point. I´ll remember that one.
Know what you are committed to and just don’t give up, no matter what happens. The rewards are great.
Sometimes. Sometimes success is just hard work.
I finally finished college which due to financial reasons was hell to get through. I was never able to balance fitness, college, work and my relationship with my gf while living with my parents.

Also I love this guy and I don’t know him. It’s because he said he “lost everything” at least twice and had to sleep in his gym because he couldn’t afford two rents. Word, bro, I done lost everything more than once and more I don’t even want to talk about. But I’m building back up!!!!
I mean it’s just inherently not true though cause most of the people of influence that people “root” for are driven by desires for fame and adoration. Like in this modern society you will find very few people who have fame that weren’t driven in some way by it and the attention it brought.
Love these dudes on gear who act like going to the gym is such a fucking acheivement.
😆 I know, right. Such delusion exists in these end times but the positive side to it is you get a good laugh at least.
Did you watch the video?
@ElStanleysMusic-pb9jm yes, I did. These pampered man children have no idea what "hard" is.
It is. Do you even know what steroids do? Do you think it's a magic spell that conjures swollenness as you sleep and eat pizza? No, it's the same god damn grind as everyone else except you recover faster, thus enabling you to spend LONGER at the gym and work HARDER. Don't come into the comment section of a bloody youtube video acting like you're hard.
You're the definition of someone who pulls everybody else down because you can't stand up on your own two feet. Go and achieve something, get less insecure, and stop being resentful about the achievements of others which far surpass your own.
Yoooo the Single 👏! This is for all the individuals that has that single clap! Keep going, keep striving, keep being different! Stay true to your game-plan and pivot when necessary but keep moving forward to that North Star ⭐️
It's crazy...
i swear to god I remember hearing a vid where c Chris talks abut something being hard to acquire often tricks people into thinking its valuable.
Now i hear him circle jerking about doing things because they are hard
It is what it is.
1:25 and I already liked this one. You two have such an awesome dynamic! Looking forward for the full version. Thanks!
"The path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means you are not with other people... rather than bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you are on the right path."... the irony of that statement, is that path looks the same for a loner that accomplishes nothing, despite his best intentions or choice of vehicle. So is that really an indicator of being on the right path (or in the right vehicle)? Or is it simply a method to convince yourself not to give up before success materializes - while the truth is - you don't really know if you are on the right path (or in the right vehicle)?
So simple, yet so good
These hustle culture podcasts are equally inspiring as they are depressing.
I just feel like i don't care about anything anymore. Nothing is worth the effort.
"Expecting it to be easier is going to make it much harder than it actually is"
I’m in this path rn! Only me and my lord Jesus 👏🏻🙏🏻
How can you have such a fakey on your show? What a great advert for truthfulness.
ive seen hormozi getting a lot of hate, even tho i never liked him , but did anything happen as him to be fake ?
Love this studio set
Chris Williamson really is Derek Zoolander
Wow! I thought this was an old episode but it's a new one! It's an insightful conversation.
Because they had this exact convo many times
Does Jeff Cavalier know how jacked Jesse has become?
🤣🤣🤣
I saw this and the first thought that went through my mind was oh wow! Alex is the next wolverine lol
I love this because they are just out-quoting eachother, best quote wins lol
For real though I love this type of content you guys are goats
I truly apreciate Alex and his work on the business side. But what I can't get behind is him lying about his steroid use and you and other podcast hosts not calling him out on it. Espescially you being good friends with James Smith who preaches against this type of misleading people.
he’s open about testosterone use
Also, what has Alex hormozi been through his life? Some people have bad trauma and don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle as it’s way more toxic than it looks. People like that are very insecure and exhausting to deal with. They are never happy no matter how much they have.
@@HarryDry Look up ”Alex Hormonzi 6 week transformation”. He says he does trt to a normal range. Gaining 35lbs in 6 weeks (in the article he claims natural) is not possible for an experience lifter.
@@Windbend3r Well if you don’t want the hustle culture lifestyle you are not his target audiance and that’s fine. He has trauma and talks about it openly. I’m a psych major so it’s quite easy to tell.
@@MrOpticBladeGaining 35 lb of muscle would probably take someone 1.5-2 yrs min even if you’re in your prime hormonally. Maybe 1.2 min if you have freak genetics and are on an entirely program with help. I think 2 lbs per month if literally everything is optimal is the max for 99.99%

"In the beginning, it's just you with a stick against a bear !!" That's exactly how I've been feeling for 18 months now.
Arrows in the quiver that you'll be using to slay future dragons. So helpful to frame it that way when experience can feel so random at times.
Those arms do not look like they are purely the result of hard work. They look like hormone-filled balloons.
Hormozi-filled
These men surely think highly of themselves, don't they?
That statement says more about you, then them. Enjoy your soy latte. 😎
Yea, and i have no idea what was so "hard" about their lives. What did they have to overcome?
If you tell you film crew to shoot in 4K UHD then you get rid of the DCI 2:0 aspect ratio (The thin black lines top and bottom). If you really want to do something cool cinematically you could try shooting 2x anamorphic on full frame open gate. Might be weird but one could experiment and see what you think.
No grown man should ever wear a tank top in public….just sayin.
I like Alex hormozi but I also realize that he's on a lot of steroids, his dad was a doctor and he likes grant cardone.
So even though I like him and hear what he's saying, I can't help but think he's a little plastic.
He's been on this show a lot and yeah we get it 'doing complain, turn hardship into opportunities, stoicism,, stoicism.'
This clip doesn't do him favors as the title suggests he went through all of this hardship but he seems to have taken an easier route to getting jacked than most people. Most people aren't on steroids/trt.
It is of course difficult to take advice from someone when u believe they take the easier route but say they took the hard road. That's some KD shit.
7:30 “Fuck its me again”
felt that
im sorry does this guy claim he's natty??
So: be rich, take steroids, and be an e-grifter got it.
LOL
The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact
There are absolutely routes that are better than others when it comes to doing things. If your take was true then there would be no professionals. Mentors wouldn’t be a thing, schools wouldn’t exist and nobody would be better than anyone else at anything. Funny how you nitpick about people having their thoughts laid out for them then you proceed to do the same thing.
This is PHENOMENAL
Great content Chris! Deep! Love it!
Going from poor me to poor everyone else who have to f*^%ing try is such an awesome mindset
I can’t stand people like this you have to be so insecure to need a lot of material possessions and money to make you feel like you’re worth something.
I think physical improvement is at the end of the list of improvements.
We can be very healthy without being ripped like he is. I think it is overdoing.
I think that mental improvement is by far superior!
'Stop being a bitch about hard things!', takes steroids as a short cut.
Not really sure I need to hear from this guy.
That's what you got from this?
@@Rufio1975 Yes, pure hypocrisy.
Don't listen to what people say, look at how they act.
If they say work hard and then you can see they are cheaters and take short cuts it undermines everything else they have to say, obviously.
Zero credibility. Classic example of survivorship bias and influencer marketing (i.e. adds nothing to society). All front - he is the product, not anything he does or makes. Plus he's on TRT at 30 (which cuts across his entire point of doing the "hard things") - nobody needs to be on TRT at 30 unless you're angling to put yourself forward as some kind of hard man when you're not.
He's soft, all talk and has nothing useful to tell any normal joe out there trying to make it, because his whole story is a construct with nothing truly real about it.
What part of taking steroids was the hardest?
Needles hurt
As in life, everything is a balance...you can go to far either way.
Totally, one of those hard things is getting over the fear or injecting PEDs with Vinny in the bathroom stall over at Golds.
the passion paradox is such a great insight
Interesting but it’s just 2 guys taking turns making statements. It’s not a conversation. Kinda strange.
They’re building on each other’s ideas.
@@kareemnuri8847Which is the goal of conversation. I'd say these two sitting together is how I wish most conversations were. Hot take, obviously
I’m sure you’re much more interesting, intelligent and successful.
It’s a clip where Chris repeats Alex’s tweets or quotes and Alex elaborates
ok and?
Just tell me what Hormozi's cycle is plzzzzz
Thank you guys. I’m right in the middle of my lonely chapter, and I really needed to hear this.
Why would any man aspire to look like a popcorn, is beyond me.
I appreciate your work mate
