How I Invest with David Weisburd
E200: 21 Harsh Truths Nobody Will Ever Tell You - Alex Hormozi
15 Aug 2025
In this episode of How I Invest, I’m joined by Alex Hormozi — entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Acquisition.com — to unpack the mindset and methods that have fueled his success across multiple industries. We dive deep into why entrepreneurship is more a “game of the heart” than the mind, the power of compounding skills, the dangers of “ignorance debt,” and how to strategically decide whether to build skills yourself or bring in outside talent. Alex shares candid stories from his career — from building gyms to scaling software companies — and offers sharp insights on persistence, focus, and eliminating distractions to win long-term. We also explore the nuances of goal setting, why tiny incremental improvements matter when scaled to millions, and the art of building high-value peer networks. Whether you’re an aspiring founder, seasoned operator, or investor, you’ll walk away with concrete frameworks to increase your odds of success — and the conviction to keep playing the game long enough to win.
