Listener Reviews

I feel like a broken record talking to my wife about how something from this podcast was really interesting. On top of that interviews from CEOs and other start up folks are great and give huge in-site into starting a business. This is my #1 ideas podcast to listen to.- @buzzkillkid

Love this podcast - leaves me energized and renews my creativity!

My favorite podcast by a mile. It’s advertised as a business idea show, there are plenty of ideas and more importantly ideas/conversations that spark better ideas. I am currently working on my own startup so if it was just ideas I wouldn’t listen, it’s really an education and breakdown of how different businesses work, how they acquire customers, what they value, the tricks and hidden inefficiencies they take advantage of, the way they butter their biscuits and how buttery that biscuit is. Freakin listen!! Whether you’re searching for an idea to run with, currently running with one, or just need to be entertained for an hour, it’s worth your ear.

I find that this level of depth is great for the me who is hoping to start investing soon. I’m glad to have found this pod and share it with my friends that have similar goals! All the best!

Sam and Shaan crush this podcast. They do a great job of talking about their own interests and ventures, new movements in the startup space, and bringing on guests who are changing the world. This is definitely my go-to pod.

Shaan and Sam provide for an entertaining yet informative listen. Their podcast episodes are filled with novel ideas and thought-provoking business opportunities that stretch the imagination. This podcast is perfect for those who love technology and are looking to take advantage of future business trends.

Awesome show!

This podcast makes me think that anything is possible, and that there are always opportunities to capitalize on, no matter who I am. It gives me confidence to try things. It makes me life better!

If you are interested in tech, learning, jokes and business breakdowns, this podcast is for you. You leave every episode with fresh ideas or a new perspective. Obviously we can’t take all of the ideas and run, but I do think it’s important to keep those gears turning to make your business better. Fun, entertaining, and educational. I couldn’t recommend this show enough. Quickly became one of my favorite podcasts.

The only podcast I have on auto-queue

The chemistry between Shaan and Sam is fantastic. They always bring the heat, bust on each other occasionally, and have a great mix of ideas to guests ratio. MFM is the only pod I religiously listen to.

Listen to this pod, it changes your mind set!

You read the title of this review and still need more? Fine. Here goes:That really smart guy Shaan who writes really smart guy threads on Twitter and invests in a ton of startups talks with another smart jacked American loving man who sold his biz to HubSpot about startups, businesses, and side hustle ideas.Everything from the guests to the storytelling to the genuine ideas they share are on point.It’s casual enough to listen in the background yet actionable enough to launch a biz solely from the research they spoon feed you.Favorite podcast.

Long time listener. This show is amazing for anyone with an entrepreneurial drive looking for motivation. These guys just keep producing great content as well. Nicely done!

Big ideas discussed on here with experts. Very informative!

Easily my favorite podcast. Recommend it to anyone interested in entrepreneurship or just looking to be entertained !!

I am not one to take risks - not an entrepreneurial type nor the person who grew up with lemonade stand or side hustle. I’m content in my job and my career.But after listening to Sam and Shaan riff about business ideas, I want to go out and start ALL THE THINGS!The real value in this podcast: hearing their perspectives on all things in life. The mental models they use, the way they deconstruct and combine ideas, and even the combination of optimism and reality they bring to business ideas - each has helped me grow and flex my own approaches and perspectives on projects in my job. Simply put, getting exposed to their frameworks has forced me to flex my creative muscles, and for that I am grateful.

I got turned on to My First Million about a year ago and I’ve listened to every episode. If you are an entrepreneur, founder, business owner who is looking for innovative ways to grow, scale, and excel inside your company, I highly recommend these two nuckleheads. Shaan is a straight up smart dude and Sam Parr the beef, brawn, and hustle. Had these guys in my ear on many a run!- Andy Smith @AndySmithLife

Shaan’s tweets always intrigued me and are one of the few that get me to thinking deep about something. His podcasts do exactly the same, but at a much deeper level. His strategies, analysis, range of topics that he covers, are not only applicable to future entrepreneurs, but to anyone looking to improve their lives. One of the best podcasts out there without a doubt!

Amongst all the podcast clutter online, I’ve had so many misses on podcasts I’ve tried out. That was until I stumbled upon My First Million. These guys make every episode seem so organic and each episode I walk away with new thoughts and learnings. Great to listen to while driving, working out, or whatever you are doing! Keep it up gentlemen, the content is great.

The constant grind of building a DTC ecom brand gets exhausting sometimes, but MFM podcast gets me excited about putting in the work. Great guests and engaging convos each episode. Thanks y'all!

I’ve never had a million dollars, though I think I probably will sometime. Why? Because I’m the type of cocky that says I’ll do a lot of stuff but I usually don’t but then I do some stuff, and that remaining “stuff”? Probably will make a million. These two have that Jim Nance/Tony Romo vibe. But neither one is solely Romo or Nance. One Nance’s, the other Romo’s, then they switch. This makes sense, trust me. It doesn’t matter anyway, bc the insights give you get give you that tickle of “maybe there is hope...somewhere...at some point”. Like maybe my Shopify gadget may actually be able to sell to people beyond those in my family I demanded needed to use it, even though the only technology they use is an iPod nano on walks along suburban American side streets. Thanks for the pod, guys. It helps, even me.

Love listening to this podcast, always super insightful. Can always trust them to dive deep into the subject matters being discussed and there were a few occasions where I even felt like I directly benefited in my business knowledge just from keeping up with the episodes.

I just heard Sam Paar live at the UnCon conference. Got to tell him in person that I can’t wait for every episode - I get motivated by these guys! I research what they talk about and am totally impressed with how thoroughly and honestly they talk about their journey. Great stuff!
