Episode notes
Build The Input Output Equation Before Scaling
- Find the input-output equation before trying to scale a stuck service business.
- Alex Hormozi told the chiropractor to fix pricing and packaging, add attribution tracking, fund Meta ads with freed cash flow, then increase thought-leadership content cadence.

- Alex Hormozi says $1.5k to $3k monthly offers usually stick four to six months, so agencies either go high-touch upmarket or ultra-cheap and automated.

- Stop solving an AI threat that is not yet showing up in the business metrics.
- Alex Hormozi told the $20M website subscription company to double down on inbound, use AI to cut workflow headcount, and fund CAC with stronger margins instead of rebuilding the product.
