Please don’t break up the episodes. I’m not going to be tricked into thinking you’re producing more content by having 19 episodes show up in my downloads. It’s just clogging it up and making it harder to see my other shows. Joe Rogan has 3 hour episodes… Love the show. Shaun hasn’t had a Harry Potter reference in a while though I’m a little worried about him.

Learned so much. Mind blown

This show isn’t about anyone’s first million. It’s about ideas, entrepreneurship, and talking to builders. If you need a sign to rip off the band aid and rebrand, maybe this is it. Not sure what the branding needs to be, but as said before the name needs improving, and as one guest said, “it’s gonna hurt more later so might as well do it now.”

I listen to a lot of podcasts on business, startups, entrepreneurship etc. In my opinion, this is the best one. The hosts are great

Shaan and Sam sound like they're just sitting around BSing. But they bring ideas to the table. Listen to this podcast if you want to be inspired by great business stories and energized to start writing the story of your first million.

Listening to Sam and Shaan talk about potential ways to make money is like cocaine for entrepreneurs. I love it.

Love this podcast but one thing that annoys me to no end. Shaan is great speaker and I’m sure a fun and lovely person but he sure loves to hear the sound of his own voice. It would be great if he can stop interrupting Sam so much and making everything about himself instead of being more humble, listening, and asking more questions of other people, especially guests.

Real title: “Not just for bros!!” Suuuure, you’ll hear a bunch of “dudes” & “bros”, but in an endearing way. If your brain is wired towards big ideas and learning new things, then you have to listen. I mean, you HAVE TO. Listening to Sam & Shaan is like listening to the two little brothers —albeit successful, smart, witty brothers— I never had. (No real little brothers were emotionally harmed in the making of this review.) I run a $50M/year biz - for someone else. I’ve been biz planning for years, but it was THIS podcast that inspired me to file for my LLC a few months ago! It. Has. Begun. Can I invite myself to be a guest on MFM after I make my first $1M? Or do I have to wait for the next NFT auction? Oh… reader… you don’t know what I’m talking about? Then, catch up on ALL past episodes! You won’t regret it. And if you do, revisit the part above about your brain needing to be wired a certain way. It’s never too late to solve the world’s problems— one entrepreneur at a time. (& it’s okay to make money doing it.) Don’t forget the MFM YouTube channel. Peanut Butter take down… I’m here for it. You? Hint: just subscribe already😉!

A really refreshing business podcast that expertly balances business with entertainment. Some other business podcasts feel like youre in the classroom or people are telling you what to do where this content sparks ideas and provides interesting insights that you can take and run with. Sam and Shaan have really great chemistry and are funny. It feels like you're just hanging with your really successful friends. Highly recommend starting with the very first episodes for some awesome guest episodes and then going into the more recent episodes with just Sam and Shaan talking about stuff happening now.

Great pod, I like how you guys talk about all business trends and cool business models I was not familiar with. Sharing opinions/reacting to hot biz news is cool to see. And your experiences from owning businesses is a plus.

My kinda thinking and great variety of guests that allow listeners to connect more dots across industries.

Sam and Shaan are amazing. I listen to this podcast religiously, still waiting on Sam to answer my email to grab dinner in Los Angeles! Sam- answer me man :) Shaan I would love to grab dinner with you too. When are you guys in town?!

If you like getting spoon fed business ideas or just want to level up in life, this is the pod for you.

I love this show, I listen to it all day while I’m at work, I’ve listened to all of the episodes, and many of the episodes more than once!

It’s routinely entertaining how much they know about business. They have a good, genuine understanding of many basic premises that apply across business sectors. Their insights and research would make for a good business class intro. However, their knowledge of the existence of certain businesses is often lacking. I’m routinely yelling corrections into my phone, desperately wishing to update them on how to pronounce business names or give them more background on what a company does. All in all…always a good listen.

Shaan and Sam are by far some of the best speakers I’ve ever heard. From business/startup breakdowns, to episodes talking about the different mentalities and habits. The reason I say it’s the best thing that’s happened to me is because I’ve been struggling a lot with the things I want and what others expect/want from me. I’ve never felt like I fit in spaces in a traditional way, as a result I did spend a lot of time conflicted and going through some of the worst times. It wasn’t until I found MFM that I started to hear about habits and certain behaviors that I thought were exclusive to me, and all of a sudden I wasn’t alone anymore. This podcast has given me the courage to go about my life leading by my beliefs and things that I believe will be best for my personal growth. I never would’ve imagined myself listening to something so religiously, but MFM is a daily part of my life. Shaan and Sam are genuinely people that I look up to and role models in every way. No amount of words could ever express my gratitude for this podcast even existing. Shaan and Sam, thank you, truly. I’ve felt different about my life and the things i want to do thanks to you guys. I hope one day I can get to the point where you guys may interview me or mention my name in passing. Until then, keep doing what you’re doing because this podcasts literally breathes life into people that may be at some low points not knowing what they want, not knowing what they’re doing. Thank you.

Shaan and Sam always bring interesting ideas for business and life. I don’t always agree with them, but they help me flesh out my thinking one way or another. Their ambition and enthusiasm are infectious and they also have some great guests on. My favorite episode was about private businesses that can 100x. Thanks guys!

Sam ‘stories as long as a babies arm’ Paar and Shaan ‘the framework I like to use’ Puri put out quality ranging from funny and informative to “holy s&$t I need to pull over and write this down right now.” If you are not listening to this podcast then you are missing out and I feel bad for you.

Listening to this podcast is seriously special for me. I am 23 and always thought my hyper active entrepreneurial brain was a little different. This podcast makes me feel sane. So many people ask me how do you think of ideas for businesses, I can not do that. Well this Podcast will make anyone think entrepreneurial. They usually give 5-10 ideas per episode, and I am able to spin a couple ideas off of each one they give. I absolutely love commuting and listening to MFM. Growing up my dad would always spit ball ideas as they came to him. I recently introduced him to MFM and he talks about it non stop now. Thank you guys for what you do. I aspire to be a guest on your show one day, after I make my first million.

These guys being useful and relevant information, ideas and encouragement centered around entrepreneurship and income generating ideas. A general purpose podcast that is general enough to help the masses and specific enough to come away with nuggets to take with you each podcast. Each episode I’ve listened to has been well worth my time without overdoing commercials.

MFM has been my favorite podcast for the last year and a half and I recently discovered that it’s the only podcast I can listen to in the gym because Shaan and Sam’s ideas and banter hype me up more than my typical dubstep mixes. Hoping the boys finally pull the trigger and buy MJs house!

Started listening to you guys after leaving SF to move back home. I quit my tech job a year ago and have been building out my startup idea ever since. Listening to you guys 1-2 times a week has been one of the very few things that bring some happiness into the everyday coding grind. You guys are awesome, never change! Also whenever Shaan does ‘beeps’ like the all-in guys it’s super cringey so hopefully do that less.

Love the pod, been listening for a few months. You guys always keep it real!

Shaan and Sam - love you both! I’ve listened to every episode except the Thomas Edison ones (I’ll probably listen to them on the drive home for Christmas or just delete them. TBD.). Sam, I went to Belmont, too, and Shaan, I don’t know a lot about white people culture, either. That’s not why I like MFM, though. (Speaking of MFM – you know it’s time to change the name. It’s pretty unrelated to anything in the current episode format. But a lot of people still listen because your show is that good – even with a title that has the perfect name…for another podcast.) I love listening to you brainstorm about and discuss businesses. You have a gift of doing great research, being totally normal, and your personalities are a perfect match for each other. I appreciate how you don’t hold back, press into guests to get actual answers out of them, and recognize patterns in business models in order to come up with new ideas that make a lot of sense. Thank you for loving to learn and never taking yourselves too seriously. And even though MFM’s bro-town theme song may give the impression that you’re a couple of 6th-year seniors whose lives revolve around Kappa Epsilon Gamma (KEG), that’s anything but the truth. The good news: you have other options that are a better match for your show. You could use some parts of Jungle’s “Talk About It” and your theme would be way more on-Parr. Can’t promise you what the licensing fee would be, but still. It’d be worth it. Can’t wait to hear what’s up next for what will be formerly known as My First Million.
