Why has it become cool to not care? Alex Hormozi doesn't care what he looks like. He's got long hair, a beard, shorts, a nose strip. And there's all these entrepreneur kids online now, literally putting on a nose strip before they create their videos just so they can be more like Alex. But they're copying the wrong thing. The thing that sets Hormozi apart isn't the nose strip or the jorts.
