What engagement did Alex receive from his recent podcast with Tony Robbins?
My Tony Robbins podcast just posted a couple of days ago and got more engagement than any video on my channel for the last two plus years. And I got tons of questions about like what's happening next, how I plan to pursue, you know, the promise that I made of getting 100,000 guys to 100,000 and a bunch of other stuff. And since Layla and I spent a lot of time talking about it before, during and after the podcast, Yeah, we're going to sit down. I'm going to ask Alex some questions about it that you guys had that I found looking through the comments, looking through the reposts, looking through all the articles people have written about it. So hopefully this will answer a lot of the questions. And I'm going to ask Layla questions back.
Fine. We will converse. So I thought it would be fun to ask you questions about the podcast and just like, honestly, the questions I had and the questions that I think people were asking, because I read through a lot of the comments.
What questions did Alex and Layla discuss regarding the podcast's impact?
I saw a lot of the things that people were posting online. And so I wanted to ask you selfishly because I want to know some of these answers. And then I think these other people would like to know the answers, too. Is that cool?
Sounds so cool.
We're going to find out. Were you nervous when you were interviewing Tony? Yeah, I was nervous in the beginning. I think there's two things. One was right when I started the podcast, I like hit the thing on my phone because I had kind of scripted out a nice intro and it deleted as I did it.
How did Alex feel before and during the interview with Tony Robbins?
And then he was there. So I was like, well, fuck. So I was like, all right, what was I about to say?
I saw that when you were like, and then you were like, he's going to fuck.
Yeah, that's right. I was just like, there's no point. Like, here we are. So that was one. And I think that just probably carried a little bit into it.
Yeah.
What strategies does Alex use to prepare for interviews?
and then yeah i think it just came down to like i just cared you know what i mean like i wanted to i didn't want to waste his time i wanted to make sure that it was good also you were there so i wanted to make sure that like you thought it was good and there's just people that i cared about who were who were there and so i just wanted to make i would give a fuck yeah that's what i'm saying like i mean i don't know if anyone's like been around tony but he's a force i mean like he is he's he is who he says he is and i think he's an incredible person he's We've been with him three times and, uh, yeah, he's the same way. He's always like that. I've always been a fan. I mean, it's been like 14, 15, six.
No. Oh God, I'm old. It's been, I know. Oh my God. It's only 17 years.
How does Alex define success and its relationship to suffering?
Yeah. That's so scary. You were, you were watching that age five. Yeah. I was a baby. Yeah. Um, Yeah, no, because I saw people were like, oh, is Alex nervous? I'm like, dude, of course you get nervous. What do you mean?
What insights did Alex gain about his public persona versus private behavior?
You want to do a good job. You care. I feel like nervousness is when you care about something. I think part of it is like I'm a big fan of prep, right? And so like anybody who's hold a launch, like I prepare. I practice lots and lots of times to make sure things sound flawless. And then going into something, I feel great about it because I'm like, I have done this so many times that I'm bored of doing it. And that's when I know I'm prepared. But with that one, I had prepared and then it got deleted.
How do Alex and Layla view the challenges of balancing personal and professional goals?
So that sucked. But also it's like, you don't know which way it's going to go. So there's just always, I think a little bit more stakes. You know, a lot of people I was, you know, reading through the comments, there are a lot of comments watching the podcast.
They're like, are you okay?
Like, are you miserable? And I think it's interesting because like, As your wife and business partner, even this is not what I get most of the time, you know? And so I'm curious, like, why do you think people who watch a lot of your content, why do you think there's a perception that you're like, um, what was it like grind? Yeah.
What future goals did Alex and Layla set after the podcast discussion?
Work yourself to death. Do you think that's an accurate perception? Yeah. This is my first question.
