602: (Solo) What I Learned From Alex Hormozi’s $100M Book Launch


Listen Later

Everyone saw the headlines—but the real lessons from Alex Hormozi’s $100M book launch are in the planning, positioning, and pre-launch.


In this episode, I break down the fundamentals you can lift straight into your next product launch or Black Friday promo: how to think like a founder (not an influencer), engineer your unit economics, and turn months of value-led content into a movement people want to be part of—before you ever make the ask.


Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Launch like a founder: plan, test, and engineer every touchpoint (not just “post & hope”)
• Positioning > polishing: sell the category and the community, not just the product
• Pre-launch depth: stack 3–6 months of value to build goodwill, trust, and demand
• Make the math work: VIPs, bulk buys, and upsells that liquidate ad spend
• Content as R&D: use social to test hooks, angles, & offers long before launch day
• Audience size isn’t everything: relationships and belief beat raw follower count

If you apply even one of these to your next launch—especially dialing positioning and pre-launch—you’ll see a lift in conversion, revenue, and long-tail demand.
