Building A $100m Marriage - Alex & Leila Hormozi - #490

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guests today are Alex and Leila Hormozi. They're the founders of acquisition.com, entrepreneurs, podcasters and authors. The last few years have seen Alex and Leila burst onto the business advice scene like pretty much no one else. Alex's book has been one of the wildest successes of the last decade, and yet they made $100 million before having any real social media presence. Getting to dig into their philosophies around life, business, dating and productivity makes for a very interesting story. Expect to learn what drives you to keep going once you're worth $100 million, why Alex refuses to rely on a daily routine, Leila's most important tasks to outsource in your life and business, whether Grant Cardone is a hero or a villain, how to avoid getting distracted by good opportunities, whether they want to have kids, how to avoid becoming bros with your business partner wife, and much more. These two are the real deal. I very, very much appreciate the fact that everything is tested by whether or not it's useful in the real world, they are prepared to be disagreeable with convention and with traditional wisdom in place of what they found has worked effectively for them in life or in business or in growth or in social media or everything else. The success that they're seeing online makes quite a lot of sense, I think, and there is so much to take away from today. In case you missed it, Jocko Willink is coming on modern Wisdom. I'm flying out to see him in San Diego in two weeks' time with a full video and audio production team and we're going to make something very, very special. Next week, Andrew Huberman is landing in Austin and I'm recording with him with the exact same team. It's an absolutely huge couple of weeks coming up.

I love The Economist, not only because it helps to broaden my perspective on everything that's going on in the world, but also because it's deeply researched, expert analysis allows me to hone in on what matters most to me.

Not only are they keeping you up to date on current events, but also there's tons of articles about just interesting stuff from history or culture or explaining phenomenon about why we are the way we are. I recently read, if the Ottoman Empire had not collapsed, imagining the mayhem that may have been avoided had the Ottoman Empire been saved rather than sunk. The article is fantastic. It takes you out of the current moment, the mayhem and manic constant news cycle and actually gives you some perspective. They've got such a ridiculously huge archive and you get access to absolutely everything for free for 30 days.
