19 Harsh Truths About Human Nature - Alex Hormozi - #610

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Alex Hormozi. He's a founder, investor and an author. Alex's Twitter has been one of my favorite sources of great insights over the last year. Today, we get to go through some of my favorite lessons from him about life, human behavior, psychology, business and resilience. This is really good. Expect to learn how your ego is keeping you poor, why you never need to care about what anybody else thinks of you, why having a life that sucks is actually a blessing, whether most easy opportunities are just distractions, how to conquer your tiny impulses, why you are built to deal with things being hard, how to beat anybody who ever copies you and much more. I find Alex absolutely fascinating. I think that he has this really great blend between pithy, lovely philosophy bro insight stuff and real world applicability. So, the strategy and execution coming together to work very well. There's so much great stuff in here. I really, really hope that you enjoy this one.
