Listener Reviews

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.

This is hands-down my favorite podcast about entrepreneurship. Something about the way Sam and Shaan have these conversations makes it feel like you're sitting down with them. If you need a place to get ideas or understand how companies make lots of money, this is the show for you.

Do you want to take a break out of back-to-back Zoom meetings and get inspired?! ⚡️ Sam and Shaan are like hanging out with your friend who’s always hustling, building something out of nothing. Yea, that friend is kinda crazy, but she just sold her company for $XXXM 💰 If you get energized by that friend, if you think that you can do it too, then listen to the MFM pod - Sam and Shaan are like your friend, except they break down the ideas and steps to realize them, alongside world class entrepreneurs, investors, and creators whom they interview.

This is one of the very few podcasts my husband and I both enjoy. A staple for our road trips. I appreciate that there are different stories each episode and it just feels like I’m hanging out with Sam & Shaun. I always take some little piece of new information away.

If you’re into business and making money then chances are you’ll like this podcast.

Fun conversations hearing the ideas bounced back and forth. I learn a lot and it’s pretty encouraging but sometimes it feels a little to tech-bro. I don’t know a better way to describe it.

My favorite podcast 2021. Funny and shares random interesting thoughts. Changes my way of thinking and learn something new everyday!

Choose wisely.I choose Shaan and Sam as two of mine. The podcast is educational, informative, and with two episodes a week. I’m logging some hours with them. Here’s what you can learn:-All things about being a good communicator in both business and life from both of them.-Perspective on human behavior. Sam is a student of this.-How to be a fitness influencer (joke). -Building a “business tool belt”. -How to think originally from Shaan. -They are good humans, with morals, giving fair takes.Favorite moments recently - Sam had an incredibly genuine laugh in the Sticky Icky episode. Shawn’s tour de force running laps around the DSO guy.They are a great pair because they are both successful, confident people but still show a strong desire to improve. They are still hustlers. They love the game. I hope every million they make is as fun as the first million they made. Keep the guests coming. No opinion formed on the “recent events/news” section you are trying to do - choose topics carefully would be my advice. No politics.What they did with Ben is awesome. So happy for him. Love his podcast too - great find Sam. I want more Ben.

Not sure that title makes complete sense. One minute I’m on Instagram watching Sam Parr row in his home gym like a maniac - #influenced - and the next minute I’m listening Shaun talk about how he tried to start a fast casual sushi restaurant while he was in undergrad, all the while thinking “how did I end up here?” Whatever social media formula pulled me in, I’m glad it did. Cheers!

Generally speaking they’re idiots but then so I am.

Love love love this podcast! I applied something I learned from the very first episode I listened to and it literally saved me $2,000 the next day. Applied something else I learned a few days later and it landed me a game changing meeting for our startup - and we closed the deal! Ive been hooked since. The more I learn and apply, the more great things just keep happening. Growing like crazy as a result! Lol I’m at a point now where if I don’t listen, I feel the FOMO because it means I'm slowing down my own rapid evolution. This is the best, keep the gems coming!

Backstory… I met Sam at a live taping of MFM in Miami. I was compelled to swing by for the same reason that everyone else was. Great podcast. Compelling hosts. And great community of entrepreneurially minded folks. I spoke to Sam for a minute. Nice guy, was met with a smile, and we spoke about podcasts and cars (shared interests). He was clearly focused on podcast growth. I thought, ‘maybe I can help here, given that I help run a podcast agency and run two podcast festivals.’Needless to say, I got Sam to participate in one of those conferences in a conversation with Jordan Harbinger. The topic of that conversation… growth. Love the focus!On a recent episode, I listened to Sam and Shaan brainstorm in real time about how to spend their marketing budget for MFM. Solutions they came up with were getting people to remix content for them and effectively make memes… the winner each month gets money. And, the other was to have listeners leave reviews and they pick a winner each month to give $1,000. That’s what the MFM community is all about. Ideas, execution, test and learn and don’t be afraid to take alternative approaches. And, so here I am, writing a review… less for the money and more for the love of the game. You need to listen to this podcast because like all the great podcasts, this is a community, not just two people speaking into a mic. And, this community is all about optimism, self improvement and making money. Can’t go wrong there!

Hey, guys. So every time I listen to an episode I learn a few new things and it’s great. I’m starting to worry though. What happens if I keep listening and eventually I just know all the things? I guess I’ll keep listening so I eventually know what to do about that. Thanks.

👍🏼

Great podcast for business ideas but also lots of other little nuggets depending on the guest or the week. Great dynamic between Sam and Shaan that keeps the podcast interesting each week! Has become one of my go-tos!

Stock market Sam and Brown Santa Clause babble about the endless opportunities to make money in this new tech age. Add in the occasional blue collar side hustle, some tech gossip, and fitness influencer how-to’s and you’ve stumbled upon your new favorite podcast. In reality these are some genuinely awesome and creatively brilliant guys that I feel lucky to be a fly on the wall for their conversations. They are hustlers who inspire you to get off your butt and make some cash. I hope to show my appreciation one day in person. Once MFM entered my podcast rota a little over a year ago I haven’t missed an episode. Love these dudes. Sam and Shaan - keep up the hustle guys I can’t get enough content.

A fantastic podcast that balances practicality and inspirational content. I appreciate the guests that bring a different flavor to the conversations with Shaan and Sam. I’m a fairly new subscriber and can say with confidence that MFM will stay in my podcast rotation.

Shaan and Sam are the perfect hosts. They each bring innovative ideas to the table and are entertaining to listen to. Episodes go quickly because they get to the point right off the bat, and there’s no fluff. Every episode is pure gold!
