0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Alex Holmosey. He's a founder,
0:05.6	investor, and an author. Alex's content has been one of my favourite sources of great insights
0:11.2	over the last few years. Today, we get to go through some of my favourite lessons from him
0:15.2	about life, human behaviour, psychology, business, and resilience. Expect to learn
0:20.7	Alex's most controversial opinion, the mindset reframe that can get you past your limits,
0:25.5	strategies to overcome self-doubt, why your revenge fantasy is a petty life goal,
0:30.3	how to overcome regrets, how to hack motivation, the keys to avoiding a victim mindset,
0:34.8	the only productivity tip that matters where unbreakable resilience comes from, and much more.
0:42.7	So so much fun recording this episode. I left it feeling unbelievably
0:48.5	fired up and I'm confident that you're going to feel the same. I love Alex's insights. There is
0:53.8	a big movement at the moment to give us a pass on the back when we do well, which I think
0:57.4	is absolutely needed. But there is also a requirement to say you can do more, you can be more,
1:03.6	you can get past the limits and the challenges that are in front of you, and you could do it 10,
1:08.2	a hundred, a thousand times over and still have more in the tank. And it's Alex's lean-in
1:13.2	never-quit mentality, which I really like. And yeah, I was, I've reflected a lot on this conversation
1:20.0	since I recorded it a week and a half ago and I know that you're going to take absolutely tons
1:24.8	away from it. Don't forget that if you're new here or a returning listener, you may be listening,
1:28.9	but not subscribed. And that means that you will miss episodes when they go up. The next 10
1:34.3	weeks has a cinema episode, one of these huge productions going out every single week. That's
1:40.4	how hard we've been working. So if you don't want to miss any of those and if you want to support
1:44.7	the show and if you want to make me very happy, just go and press the subscribe button. Go on.
1:50.0	I thank you. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Alex Homozi.
