Alex Hormozi. Ultra-successful Entrepreneur, And the rightful star of: KRAVEN THE HUNTER

Hey folks, don’t take my word for it. Check him out on YouTube. The Man is JACKED. He could literally walk onto a Marvel movie set today, and slide right into the role. I feel I’m going to have to apologize to him up front for embarrassing him because I’m going to get a bit gushy here. A little Man-crushy even. (Hey …. that; sorta rhymes? … )

If you haven’t heard of him, someday you will, (I’m a little late to the party). It appears he’s been around on YouTube for several years. I caught him on Chris Willaimson’s Modern Wisdom podcast. ( Another must-see Dude ). Mr. Hormozi’s claim to fame is going from being broke to being worth $100 million dollars in seven years. The other claim to fame is not looking rich AT ALL. He seems to be completely devoid of Ego. If you saw him on the street, you would probably guess he’d just come from digging clams somewhere. Cut off shorts, a breathe right strip on his nose, a tank top, a baseball cap, and a beard. And what a beard it tis’.

I think in an earlier time, he might have been called an “Eccentric Millionaire”. That term might be out of date in Modern Times, especially with the hoodie-wearing Tech …. “Gurus”(?) that abound. It might have never really been quite accurate. I recall reading a book entitled The Millionaire Next Door some years back. The author, Thomas Stanley, interviewed a series of millionaires to attempt to discern the secrets and mindsets they possess.

In the first few interviews he conducted, he gathered an assortment of comestibles including caviar, champagne, and items of that ilk. They were completely ignored. One of the participants asked if he had any beer. “What kind? I’ll get some for you” Mr. Stanley enquired. “Well, I got two favorite kinds, Budweiser and free” (I’ve used a variant of that line when I’ve been asked what my favorite food is. “Two kinds, Asian and free”)

A millionaire, someday soon-to-be-billionaire who is completely approachable, who hasn’t lost his common touch. In his videos, he also sprinkles in a lot of common sense life advice. (Imagine Jordan Peterson without the baggage)

His videos take a no-nonsense approach. But by his tone, he obviously cares deeply about people. In one of his more memorable ones, he speaks from his jet to a minimum wage worker he encountered that day. He felt bad that he couldn’t give the man a more complete answer and spent 15 minutes telling him what he wasn’t able to at the time.

When I’m rich, that’s the kind of “Rich-Guy Dude:” I’m going to be. (Notice the future-tense positive when instead of if . (I’m tryin’)

I did some rough math. 100 million dollars, (divided by time), comes out to approximately $19.17 per minute. Mr. Hormozi took the time and spent $292.38 to give some advice to a minimum wage worker working 2 jobs who felt he was drowning and without hope. Something he most certainly didn’t have to do. He possesses the ability to speak and explain things from a “Millionaire Mindset” without talking down to people. Unlike a certain “Mr. Wonderful” on the TV show Sharktank.

A rare individual, indeed.

He’s also not shy about spreading his wealth when it comes to giving credit where credit is due. Quite often he’ll mention his wife, Laila, as being key to his success. She was the one to suggest to him early on to focus on doing ONE thing well instead of spreading himself over multiple ventures like he was doing at the time. She also turned him on to the book The Motive, which he credits with the notion that “people come first”. The video he made for the aforementioned minimum wage worker is a testament to his earnestness regarding that sentiment.

Check him out, I think he’ll change a lot of lives. I’m attempting to let him help change mine. More on that later ….

Rockford out.

Be Good Everyone,
