Hey everyone, If you haven’t been active in the group lately, I wanted to share an important update. Last week, I was formally asked by Skool to remove all references to Alex Hormozi and Acquisition.com IP from our group. This included the group name, descriptions, About Page, cover images, and most significantly, the Classroom. I complied fully and promptly with the request. While the community itself remains live and intact (posts, discussions, comments, and group history are all preserved), the Classroom has been removed. From the beginning, the mission of this group was to support Acquisition.com’s goal of making real business education available to everyone. I believe the group’s educational content strategy operated within the bounds of fair use and good faith, with clear disclaimers and transparency. But if this is the explicit direction from Acquisition.com and Alex Hormozi, I respect it. It is their platform, their brand, and their decision. To be clear: I am still a big “Hormozi” fan. That has not changed. I have supported their content, promoted the $100M Offers, Leads, and Money Models books, bought the $100M Playbooks bundle, gave hundreds of free books to our community, and even visited their HQ in Vegas in 2024. I also sent several emails to ACQ about this Skool group, but I never heard back. That silence, combined with changes in how Skool prioritizes paid and private groups over free and public ones, made it clear that the writing was on the wall. This request was simply the final confirmation. Here is the truth. This community has been one of the most meaningful projects of my career. I cracked Skool’s growth engine early and we passed 10,000 members by curating and delivering real value, especially through the Classroom. It was never just a fan group. With the support of so many of you, I built this group solo, for free, using everything I have learned over the past two decades building online education systems. And along the way, I grew too. I went from founder and entrepreneur to investor and mentor.

I recently watched a conversation between Alex Hormozi and Tony Robbins that made me pause. Hormozi said something most entrepreneurs experience but rarely admit: - At a certain level, pain starts to equal success. - You keep pushing. You keep achieving. - And somewhere along the way, happiness becomes optional. Tony’s response cut deeper. - Success without purpose eventually numbs you. - Achievement has diminishing returns. - If you don’t anchor yourself to something meaningful, you lose yourself in the chase. This is exactly why podcasts matter more than ever. - Not as a content play. - Not for vanity metrics. - But as a thinking platform. A podcast gives you something rare today: Time to slow down. Space to reflect. Conversations that go deeper than surface-level wins. And here’s what most people miss… - When you have a podcast, you’re essentially getting free coaching from industry leaders. - You get to ask the questions you’d normally pay thousands for. - You get access, insights, and perspective you’d never get from a DM or a comment thread. That alone can change how you think, decide, and grow. This is why I believe every serious entrepreneur should start a podcast in 2026. Not because everyone needs more content— But because entrepreneurs need clarity, alignment, and depth. After hosting hundreds of conversations, I’ve seen it clearly: Podcasting doesn’t just build authority. It builds identity. It keeps you grounded while you grow. Purpose-driven while you scale. A podcast won’t just help you grow a business. It will help you grow without losing yourself. And that kind of leverage compounds for life. @Alexi Drouin love your post ❤️

One line from a recent conversation between Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi stayed with me: “I don’t have all the answers. But I have access.” That single sentence explains why interviews and podcasts are such an unfair advantage. Tony shared how frustration with a broken system pushed him to interview 50 of the smartest people on the planet—people who started with nothing, not privilege. Different industries. Different personalities. One common thread: Access. * Not theory. * Not opinions. * But patterns revealed through real conversations. Here’s the part most people miss though 👇 You don’t need to start with massive access. You create access. When you ask high-level people for their time, there are usually only three options: 1. Pay their consulting fee 2. Join their paid mastermind 3. Or… invite them onto your podcast Most people can’t afford option 1 or 2. But almost no one is talking about option 3. An interview podcast lets you: ✔️ Learn directly from people you’d never otherwise reach ✔️ Build proximity without paying thousands ✔️ Create value first instead of asking for favors ✔️ Turn conversations into long-term relationships ✔️ This is why interview podcasts are modern-day apprenticeships. - You’re not just recording content. - You’re collapsing decades of learning into hours. - You’re building a platform that attracts wisdom instead of chasing it. And the beautiful part? 👉🏻 You don’t need to be famous. 👉🏻 You don’t need a massive audience. You need: - A mic - Curiosity mindset - And the willingness to do the work most people avoid If you’re still thinking about starting a podcast in 2026, I’ll ask you honestly: What’s stopping you? Because if you’re serious about growth, authority, and access, this is the leverage move.

Where did the classroom go? I cant see it
