The Game with Alex Hormozi

Alex Hormozi built and sold a portfolio of companies before he turned 35, and The Game is basically his running commentary on how he did it and what he's doing now at Acquisition.com. Episodes are short, often under 30 minutes, and they skip most of the usual podcast throat-clearing. No long intros, no meandering guest chats about childhood memories. Hormozi just picks a topic - pricing, hiring your first salesperson, why your offer isn't converting - and talks through it the way a blunt older brother might, with specific numbers pulled from companies he actually runs. Some episodes are live Q&As, some are recorded solo, and a handful feature his wife Leila or portfolio CEOs walking through real problems. The show has more than a thousand episodes now, which sounds overwhelming until you realize most of them stand on their own. You can jump in anywhere. The criticism people throw at it is fair enough: Hormozi repeats himself, the tone can feel aggressive, and not every insight will apply if you're running, say, a nonprofit or a creative studio. But for anyone trying to scale a small business past the founder-dependent stage, it's hard to find a denser source of tactical advice. He genuinely seems to enjoy giving the playbook away for free.
