In this video, Alex Hormozi talks about why you should never listen to your parents at any age, unless they are exorbitantly wealthy and have achieved everything you wish to achieve.

He explains that most people, including parents, have an inaccurate understanding of risk and will always side on the less risky side, which can prevent you from taking risks that could lead to success. Hormozi emphasizes the importance of making good decisions in life and taking the time to think about them, rather than rushing into them.

He also encourages viewers to not let others' opinions hold them back from pursuing their goals and taking risks.
