We provide in-person advisory for companies doing at least $1M per year: https://www.acquisition.com/workshop-yt-d If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $250,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below. How I got here… 21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job. 23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym). 24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations. 26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything. 26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time. 26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked. 27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months. 28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year. 29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months. 31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal. 31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it) 31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit. 32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses. 34 yrs old: I became co-owner of https://Skool.com, which is a platform for people to build communities online, making a living doing what they love, with people like them. 36 yrs old: I did a $106M book launch selling 3.6M copies of my $100M Money Models book, in 72 hours, breaking the Guinness world record for the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time. Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos). To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story. You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win. Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.

How to steal it

setting · outdoor city

01
Hook (0-2s)
Open with the "know your numbers or lose" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
02
Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
03
Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.
Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.
04
Reaction / proof (9-13s)
Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.
Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.

Alex-voiced hooks3/3

Variant 1

One number turned a cold DM into a $30k Nike campaign for OVO.

Alex walks through the exact rate card math he used to close a Nike creator deal, showing how knowing your numbers (CPM, engagement rate, usage rights pricing) is the difference between a ghosted pitch and a signed contract. Filmed at the Brickell penthouse desk with the actual pitch doc on screen.

Variant 2

I track three numbers every week. They paid for my GT3 RS.

Alex breaks down the three KPIs he monitors inside OVO Talent (pipeline value, close rate, average deal size) and shows how compounding 25% management fees plus 20% ad spend created the cash that bought a $500k track car. Casual delivery, walking around the GT3 in the parking garage, phone in hand pulling up a spreadsheet.
