Reviews

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!

Over the years, I’ve listened to hundreds of different pods. And lemme tell ya - these guys have created some really, really special. They’re always sharing fascinating stories, actionable hacks & frameworks, and so many biz ideas that everyone’s lost count (someone should compile them all & sell them as an ebook). If you’re into building businesses, learning & surrounding yourself with high-energy folks, subscribe to the pod - it’s a no brainer!

Sam told us to rate this podcast, so here I am. One sentence…. I listen to dozens of business related podcast, but only ONE religiously - THIS ONE. It’s a fun, fast, value-packed, idea-generating, inspirational hour of time well spent every time. I always leave smarter than when I pushed play. Sam, you’re awesome. Shaan, you’re awesome-er.

I started listening last year, at a time when I was feeling uninspired by my post-college graduation job prospects. I knew I didn’t want to do the 9-5 thing forever, but prior to listening, Elon Musk was my picture of an entrepreneur. I think especially for us engineers, this can be discouraging. It seems like you have to be incredibly intelligent or driven by some exogenous factor to start your own thing. Sam (and Shaan but mostly Sam) showed me that wasn’t true haha. Frankly, I laugh all the time at the dumb stuff they say while listening. Sam and Shaan’s humility and honesty has gone so far in giving me confidence that I can forge my own path outside the 9-5. They are just dudes like me. I know it sounds silly, but knowing that Sam comes from STL like me has also been cool. Since I started listening, two friends and I have built a B2B/Amazon business that is up to 15k MRR in the 3rd month and trending up! The idea for the business came straight from Shaan. I am extremely grateful for what these guys have added to my life and recommend it to everyone I know. Sam, Shaan if you read this just know you guys are changing lives!

I stumbled across this podcast thinking I’d give it a shot, fully expecting it to be just bros just chatting about how to make some extra money here and there. 10 minutes into the first episode I listened to, I couldn’t turn it off. I became a dedicated listener from then on. However… I didn’t watch one of their YouTube videos until I’d been listening for months already. Keep in mind, every time I pull up the podcast I see Sam and Shaan’s face on the title screen. And then I of course picture those two guys talking while I listen. From the first word Sam spoke in the YouTube video, my world was changed forever. I had been picturing Sam’s face speaking in Shaan’s voice the whole time! This might not seem like a big deal but let me tell you, it was a “Twilight Zone” moment and my world was upside down for awhile. I am happy to report that I have since fully recovered from that mishap and can now get through a whole podcast correctly assigning their voices to the correct individual.

Started listening to the podcast when it first came out. I receive the Hustle email every morning so that’s how I learned about it. I’ve learned a lot from the show and have received a vast variety of info. Enjoy listening to the different guest interviews and try to soak in everything I can to be a better person overall every day!

Literally binge listening this podcast. Variety of guests spans how to feel better by getting sun first thing in the morning to explaining NFTs/crypto so normal person can understand, to getting me into stretching every day. Commentary is easy to follow converastionally, really lets me get to know Sam and Shaan. Motivated me to start taking free courses on HubSpot directly helping me grow two businesses that my wife and I run. I spent 20 years on submarines in the Navy and did not know very much about overall business. Listening to this podcast has given me a good beginning of business acumen. Winner winner chicken dinner. Love this pod.

I absolutely love this podcast. My favorite episode is the Rob Dyrdek episode but all of them are amazing! My boyfriend and I listen to it in the mornings before work and it gets us pumped for the day. We are reminded daily of our goals and what we can do to constantly level up our lives and our businesses. I find myself sharing these episodes with fellow health coaches and Facebook friends and sometimes I even go back and relisten to episodes that I’ve already listened to! Recently Sam said of how his biggest fear was being his age or older and not being able to walk around or sit on the floor because his body is riddled with pain and his “house” is falling apart and that investing in your health is the BEST investment and I just wanted to cry happy tears. Yes!! Love love love listening. Keep up the great work guys!

Currently IMO the show has too many Hubspot reads, we get it The show is a part of the Hubspot network, Is there a way I can pay a monthly fee to not hear them? With that being said, Shaan and Sam have a great chemistry. And it is still currently my favorite podcast.

Great tips to get the most out of your morning

I have bee listening to MFM since I got out of prison in May 2019 and this show hasn’t failed me yet! Every episode is intelligent, well crafted, and oddly funny. For a disenfranchised demographic and a low key street oriented dude I find these guys official in business and personality keep up the good work! First written review stars all day on apple and google
