Business Lunch Roland Frasier

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! Today, we’re looking back at some of Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss’ discussions. They cover the Hermes anti-trust allegations, Alex Hormozi’s content creation experiment, and Jeff Bezos’ thoughts on the myth of work/life balance and how it could be harmful to workers and business owners alike.
Highlights:
"Jeff Bezos says that work life balance is a “debilitating phrase” and that work and life are actually a circle."

“It's actually significantly less expensive to buy a Birkin in Hermes than it is to buy one on the secondary market."

“The grind of going out there and producing tons and tons of content just to grow the audience. If you're doing this as a business owner, not as a celebrity, not as an entertainer, if you're doing this to grow your business brand, it just wasn't worth it.”
