DeepSummary
Alex Hormozi discusses the importance of not making excuses or blaming biases when you fail to achieve something. He argues that even if biases exist, dwelling on them is unproductive and prevents personal growth. Instead, he encourages accepting responsibility and striving to become 'undeniably' good at what you do.
Hormozi shares personal examples of overcoming biases through hard work, such as lying about owning a gym when he was young and looked too inexperienced. He emphasizes taking an honest look at yourself and asking 'What would it take?' to overcome perceived shortcomings, rather than making excuses.
He advocates a mindset of constantly improving and working harder than your competition. Hormozi believes that by focusing on personal excellence and becoming exceptional at your craft, you can transcend biases and doubts. The key is an unwavering dedication to self-improvement over victimhood.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “If you've ever not gotten the deal or you've ever not had someone believe in you, you've been doubted because of the way you look, how old you are, how young you are, what gender you are, where you're born, where you're not born, the way you dress, the way you look, the way you talk. Then the question isn't whether that bias is true, because it may absolutely be true. But the question is, what do we do about it anyways?“ by Alex Hormozi
- “And so I'll show you a note that I leave myself because I get in the same everybody. Everybody's got shit. And so I'll show you what the background on my phone is right now, because this is the season I'm in. If you can see that. It says just win. That's it. It says, just win. Two words.“ by Alex Hormozi
- “Oprah will always have my eternal respect for being the first female black billionaire who built a media fucking empire in the fucking eighties. No one else can do that.“ by Alex Hormozi
