Summary

"The bigger the investment, the more the leadership team matters.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about the criteria they look for investing in companies, including the importance of cash flow-positive and profitable businesses that are founder-led and have exceptional products or marketing. He also emphasizes the value of finding a niche that's easy to win in and having a compounding vehicle within the business.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.
