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.

Where did the classroom go? I cant see it

I’ve followed Alex Hormozi for years, but watching Hormozi get coached by Tony Robbins might be the best piece of Hormozi content I’ve seen recently. Usually, we watch Alex as the teacher. He’s the one breaking down business frameworks and logic. But in his latest sit down with Tony Robbins, the script flipped. Here is the moment that changed everything. Alex admitted that for years, his internal mantra for success was "F*ck Happiness!” Tony pointed out that Alex had hypnotized himself into believing fulfillment was unattainable, so he operated purely on push motivation: anger, duty, and logic. Tony’s reframe was simple but transformative: "F*ck Suffering!" Watching these two go toe-to-toe was fascinating. It’s rare to see two titans of this caliber operate with this level of vulnerability. We got to watch Alex get coached by the best in the world, and it was riveting. Has anyone else watched this yet? What was your biggest takeaway?

A few years ago, I had an epiphany as an educator: The product of education isn’t courses or programs. It’s the students… and their impact in our communities. That’s why everyone is asking the wrong question about AI in schools. It’s not whether AI will make students lazy. It’s about how students use it. Some students will use AI to do less thinking. Others will push thinking to a whole new level. If we ban it, we don’t prevent cheating. We delay student’s real-world readiness. In my opinion, the solution is to teach AI as a universal skill, in order to increase human-to-human interaction in learning.

For decades, we taught everyone the same way, at the same pace, with the same goals. That worked when the world moved slowly. It doesn’t anymore. With AI, we can now hyper-personalize learning for every student based on their background, goals, and pace. Scalable. Efficient. Human-centered. The risk is simple. Education move slowly. AI doesn’t. If we don’t evolve fast enough, entire generations will enter the job market unprepared for reality. In my opinion, the winners will be the ones who act on AI now, not later.
