There’s an abundance of generous dividend-payers, although not all are safe harbours in today’s investment landscape. Income-focused investors should focus on defensive positioning and dividend durability.

A friend of mine launched a consulting business out of her spare bedroom last year. She ran the whole operation on her personal cell. Three weeks in, a prospect called back, hit her kids’ rambling voicemail, and then vanished. A vendor who needed her partner couldn’t get transferred. Every outbound call landed as a generic mobile number, sometimes flagged as spam. She asked whether she needed a business phone or if her residential setup was fine. I get this question often. After two decades helping sales and CX teams pick communication platforms, the honest answer is rarely “your home line…

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Leila Hormozi doesn’t talk about her past to shock people. She talks about it because she thinks it’s the point. The co-founder of Acquisition.com has been open about the six arrests, the addiction, and the moment she stood in front of a mirror and decided she didn’t want to be that person anymore. Not as a cautionary tale, but as proof that the same capacity for excess that nearly destroyed her is exactly what built a portfolio doing over $250 million in annual revenue by the time she was 30.
