• How to Learn Anything Fast | Ep 1011

  Hormozi uses basketball to explain why an instruction such as “get better at business” gives someone little to practice. A coach can observe a free throw and change part of the motion. A manager can give equally precise feedback on a discovery call once the team identifies the action in question.

• Can I Save This Failing Park in 90 Days? | Ep 1008

  While reviewing a summer-camp booking page with an adventure-park owner, Hormozi hits a question the promotional banners have crowded out.

  Hormozi invites entrepreneurs to challenge rules he has offered publicly. The chapter at 5:23 concerns which customers to sell to.
