The $100M Founder Who Solved Social Media for Business (w/ Leila Hormozi)

In this live interview, Leila Hormozi — co-founder of Acquisition.com and one of the sharpest operators in business today — breaks down why most people building a personal brand are stuck in the middle, and what it actually takes to go premium.

We get into why the "advice" of chasing views and trends is quietly keeping people broke, how she built her own brand standing next to her husband Alex, and the mindset shifts that let her run companies through lawsuits, public scrutiny, and Covid without folding.

This interview was filmed live at the Forward Event.
