A short YouTube video clip (by Tim Frey) offering a personal rebuttal to an idea attributed to Alex Hormozi — that you should drop friends who aren't "leveling up" with you. The speaker argues that friendships don't require identical trajectories, that companionship matters most during difficult times, and that entrepreneurial loneliness is often a choice with available connections nearby.
And I hear Hormozy talk about it all the time. It's like, oh, yeah, just ditch friends if they're not, like, leveling up with you. And I just kind of think it's a bit. Yeah, I think it's crap. In the end, all you have is the people that are around you, and in the end, the people who know you best and who are going to stand with you on your darkest days. And I think that you don't have to always be leveling up together in order to be friends, that you don't always have to have everything in common. And I've kind of realized recently that entrepreneurship can make you feel very lonely, but that loneliness is actually a choice, and that there are people around you right now who would love to reach out to.
