Summary

"People don't actually want the best for you. They want the version of you that best serves them." Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us the challenges of pursuing one's dreams and goals while dealing with unsupportive friends. He shares his views on friendship and how it's important to surround oneself with people who believe in one's future self and that not all friends want the best for you.

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.
