How I've Changed The Way I Hire People | 775

Style Shift

Alex Hormozi is experimenting with a new podcast style, shifting from heavily produced content to a more spontaneous, audio-first approach. He reflects on the initial success of his podcast, which grew significantly when he focused on documenting his current thoughts rather than just teaching past successes. Alex credits his wife, Layla, for suggesting this change, as she noticed the previous format might have been overwhelming for listeners.

This is an experiment that I'm running right now. I would love your feedback. If you prefer this style of content, obviously you haven't heard the podcast yet, but if you prefer the style of content, if you can tag me on Instagram, it would mean the world to me.

He invites listeners to provide feedback on this new format, emphasizing his enjoyment of sharing what's currently on his mind 1.

   

Audience Input

Audience feedback plays a crucial role in shaping Alex's podcast content. He acknowledges the importance of adapting to listener preferences, whether they favor a narrative style or a more structured, note-dense format. Alex shares insights from industry leaders like Eric Schmidt, highlighting the value of hiring for potential and intelligence over experience.

If you prefer the more structured, more notes, denser podcasts, then I can do that, too. But I have Layla said, listen, a lot of people are driving, they're working out, and a lot of your stuff is so dense that they have to stop to write notes.

He encourages listeners to share their thoughts, as their input directly influences his approach to content creation 2.
