this is not going to do anything for me i didn't take it serious i wasn't like a bad student
19
but i also wasn't like super good.

34
So I went and I applied at every gym nearby.
35
And I was like, I'll just start working at a gym at first.
36
I'll learn sales for the gym.
37
And then eventually I'll learn more about business and have my own business.
38
I ended up getting a job at all the places I applied.
39

I really liked the manager there.
41
He was really encouraging.
42

43
There's 20 other people that they hired around the same time.
44

58
i heard about this guy who had this really great gym he's like a fantastic leader
59
and he really knows how to run a business i want to go learn from that guy.
60
And so I went and worked at his gym.
61
What it allowed me to see was that the same effort it takes to build a small business,
62
it's the same effort to take a big business.
63
It's almost harder to have small business even because there's less opportunity for people.
64
If people have a big vision for themselves, they don't want to work at a small business.
65
I'd been dating when I was in Michigan.
66
When I went to California, I was like, I just want to build up my career.

In every relationship before I met Alex, I was always like the dominant one in the relationship.
71
And I realized I was like, I don't really want that.

I want someone who's almost more dominant than me or at least could be equally powerful.
73
I swiped on Alex.
74
I messaged him because it was Bumble and so the girl else messaged the guy first.
75
He called me and we talked for like 20 minutes and he was like, I consider this to be like our first date.
76
So then we went for Froyo the next day, which I tried to get out of and he was like,
77
no. I said I was sick or something.
78
I think I was hungover.
79
We didn't talk about like relationships at all.
80
We actually just talked about business the whole time.
81
So we like walked for four hours.
82
Basically on the first date, he's like, we should work together.
83
I want to start this new business.
84
You seem like you can sell and you understand business and you like all this you should do it with me.
85
And I was like, we just met.
86
I just feel like, like we both didn't have a ton of friends at that point in time.
87
So it was like, and we'd gone on three dates and might as well.
88
Basically we started gym launch six weeks into us knowing each other.
89
18 months in, we changed the model and then it just took off.
90
We realized that we have really great complimentary skill sets.
91
We wrote everything on a whiteboard that happens with the business.
92
And it was like marketing, sales, finance, HR, op, success.
93
And then one of our friends just circled marketing and like, this is Alex.
94
And then all the rest is Layla.
95
It's building the team, doing that and aligning it with the strategy of the business is something
96
that i feel really good at doing most people
97
that have very big businesses are just people of like elite character
98
i don't need to be the smartest person in the room
99
but i need to be competent enough
100
that the smartest person in the room wants to work for me
101
and that i've created a big enough vision
102
that their vision can fit within mine
103
and the culture is really just the mission and the vision
104
and the values of the founder nobody will work for you
105
that has better values than you they will go find somebody else has better values.
106
With acquisition .com, it's sincere candor, unimpeachable character, and then competitive greatness.
107
These are the principles that we use to make decisions for the company.
108
I want to be the CEO of acquisition .com when it hits a billion.
109
I have to become a different person in order to hit a billion or to hit 10 billion.

111
I could do anything that anyone else's worth has done.
112
And I think that's really freaking cool.
113
Now it's more of a desire to see what that looks like
114
and to meet the person I have to become
115
when I put myself in situations where there's more pressure to become that kind of person.
116
Setting a goal so big that I am forced to change
117
and evolve in a positive way as a human in order to get there.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
