Alex Hormozi’s Warning: Stop Chasing AI, Build This Instead!

Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says almost all of them will be gone within months, that the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying, and that in a world of AI the only moat left will be reality and your reputation.

Alex Hormozi is a entrepreneur, investor and author. He is the co-founder of Acquisition.com, a portfolio of 16+ companies generating over $250 million a year, and the author of the $100M series: '$100M Offers', '$100M Leads' and '$100M Money Models', whose 2025 launch sold 2.9 million copies in a single day and broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history.

He explains:

◼ Why the practical businesses, like plumbing, are the real opportunity, not the ones built on top of AI models

◼ Why delegating your hardest thinking to a machine makes you weak

◼ Why reality and reputation are the only moats AI can't erode

◼ Why revenue retention matters more than marketing or sales

◼ Why marrying his wife Leila was the best financial decision he ever made, and how the right partner changes your odds

◼ He opens up about one of the hardest years of his life, in the same year he made more money than ever
