Genius, Kevin is going to cross $100m very soon - easy billionaire fast track. Congrats! 🦍
Incredible story of success and achievement despite the odds. I started my business with 6 kids, recently divorced and at the lowest point in my life. The business went from 0 to 9-figures during the worst time to start a print-media business (2008). After 12 years, we've consistently blown past records and still going strong! It is possible with the right idea, culture and team in place. Thanks for sharing MFM team.
Yo what, a billion valuation media printing business during the transition to digital?
What's the name of your company?
Well this was a surprise to wake up to! Great breakdown Shaan!
The lucky part of the lockdown was that I'd set up the product business in 2019 BEFORE the lockdown, so my infrastructure was already in place: inventory, store, 3PL, etc.
So during COVID, all I did was tell my supplier "sell me everything you have"
Hobby categories are going to be completely owned by savvy creator/operators in ~10 years
We dont care bro
I think everyone watching this podcast would actually be interested in what he has to say. Get off the internet pal if it makes you this upset. Its not healthy for you. @JS71.s
Thanks for outlining this. Very interesting and useful. And congratulations on all the success!
the man himself is here.
How did you store all that colored tp/sanitizer inventory? lol ...Interesting note about future hobby categories. I'm guessing ai will simply cycle through (and post/buy domains etc) of all the combos and then do just-in-time manufy or 3d product printing. Seems like Amazon is already like this in market saturation.
So far, the MFM has keeps me strong in my journey to the first million. Almost was there closing 2023. Hoping in 2024 conquering it
Playing markets or u have a blog?
@@emrcoyote Smacks of markets to me as well ...my guess is his 100k went 10x on tqqq calls lol
I realize what I like about this show. Unlike entertaining people that are rich, these are rich people that just happened to be entertaining. A much better alternative.
Every other educational channel hurts my head. But I can watch this channel all day. I wish you made more content
Sam,
Thanks for dedicating to these 2 groups.
I fit into BOTH of these groups.
English isn't my first language and I've a new born when I was doing it
Small entrepreneur in Switzerland with a 2y old… it’s hard but rewarding and I know who I am doing it for
My favourite podcast, and one of my favourite examples of creator driven sites out there! Kevin is a humble and inspirational guy, hopefully you can do episode #2 once he hits $100m! (Won't be long, trust me!)
46:00 This was a brilliant take on moats Shaan!
First time I've come to the UA-cam version. I've been listening to the podcast for at least a couple of years and wow, the image in my head is what you guys look like is rather different to what you actually look like.
I love this episode, perfect mid day brain snack. And thank you Sam for the dedication. Love you ❤
Sometimes I honestly feel like you guys live in a completely different world .. “nobody drinks anymore” and Whole Foods top selling beer is NA.. where I live half the people think Whole Foods is farm fresh eggs from their back yards and they most definitely drink beer lol
fair point. everyone's in a bubble. or maybe just us -shaan
@@MyFirstMillionPod products of our environment for sure
Yes. Men bond over activities. Especially coopetition (cooperative competition). Normal static networking events only really works for extroverts, leaving some real power player introverts to fade into the background. Want to connect with real power nerds that actually do interesting things? Make it activity based. Also, please do a pod on Tori Gerbig if you have not already. Great story.
I feel that one overlooked ting when it comes to Google, is that they have their own TPUs (comparable to nvidias GPUs), that they choose to not to sell. If they make the switch to start selling them Google could become be a major player in the semiconductor industry.
The v100 GPU has had tensor cores for several years now. The next thing is low power (30W brain vs MWatts to train GPT).
1:30 yesss my man! ThanX brother 💚💓
Chamath is coming on the pod? 😮🙌
Love Shaan’s stories!
Thank you Sam for the dedication, I am both :)
Been following his journey for the longest, you should get him on the pod. “Way” 😂😂😂
2:11 This reminds me of a friend of mine, Jim Halpert. He had the most wonderful legumes by Professor Copperfield the “Miracle Legumes” unbelievable.
The mango biz reminded me of Sam The Banana Man that brought the banana to America. You guys need to do an episode on him, cool story!
I had an “A-ha” moment during this episode.
People follow Kevin and Epic Gardening because he was a beginner just getting started out… just like his early followers.
That’s what people want to see. People want to follow a business, a creator, a UA-cam channel, a podcast… from 12 subscribers to 1,200,000.
Hint hint 🙂
The story of that niche plant blog's explosive growth is truly inspiring..
Kevin is the man!
As a new creator this was very inspirational
Looking foreword to the Larry Page and Sergey Brin, didn’t know Silicone valley was so interesting.
Just earned a like for the shout out to business starters
Thanks you Sam ✌️
Shipping up to Boston, tight
Lol at Sam having the jacket sometimes on and sometimes off. I like those rollup businesses where a content creator can 100x the revenue by just bringing his following to it.
I'm in both groups 😅 let's hope one day I reach a point where I have a successful story they end up interviewing me 😂
I liked your video Shaan, see 😂😊❤
Happy to be inside the intersection of those two groups: Non-native English Speaker with a New born trying to start My Own Business! Living life in the Torment Level 😅😅
Chamath on the pod?? Yeeeeessssssss please 🎉
Shaan coming out hot with some updog just to set the tone for the pod….unbeatable start. I’m not sure how the pod could go up from here
I truly, in my heart, thought I had him right where I wanted him. -shaan
Shaan and Sam, your content always inspired me. Started my newsletter and got 1200 subs in 48 hours. Fastest record is at 1202
Thanks from not native speaker, Ukrainian🇺🇦❤
If you do a fruit episode ya gotta look up "The Fish That Ate the Whale" by Rich Cohen. There's a great "Founders" podcast y'all would enjoy...
💯 on the Google talk boys.
Lol, people think Im crazy for passing on chrome. I have changed my defaults to duck duck go, and now I just need to find youtube and drive alternates.
HOW DID UA-cam SYNC TO WHERE I WAS AT IN MY PODCAST PLAYER ????? (I came here just to watch the Camp MFM clip, started playing right at that point)
I hang out with you as my friends that I wish I had that are interested in business.
Sam you should’ve just given it to him!
Lets Goo..
Still no video on Spotify? And like what, 1 minute vlog? This is the "greatest of all time" podcast?
yes it is actually, but please upload on Spotify with video
Perplexity is the next Google.
If you do an episode on fruit you have to check out this book about the banana king - the guy who brought bananas to the world and pushed out governments to get there .... The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King Illustrated by Cohen
Lmao thanks I'm in the two categories. 🎉
Man, search engines have really really devolved recently, noticeably worse than a few years ago IMO
Camp MFM Golf Camp!
Not sure where you get your info, but avocadoes have always been a staple food in South America and the Caribbean. Hass avocadoes are not seen well in these cultures, they’re too small and barely have any pulp on it. We have better options available. lol
That’s only like $160k for t-shirts with a one color logo screen printed
I'm in both of the dedicated group😂 what makes me that?
Number 2
These new Hubspot ads
are *annoying* .
They're an *interruption* ,
instead of being a
Value-Adding Intergration.
The best *Brand Intergrations*
blend *seemlessly*
into the Content.
rekt sam, vid went live
First viewer🎉
😮🎉🎂🎊😱🍾🎈
800,000 ÷ 20,000 t shirts = $40 a shirt are you sure that anyone who is in business would buy a tshirt to give to their subscribers would buy for $40 cost?
epic
I would like Sam to know I just met him in person at an Austin meet up and he is in fact yoked as shit.
shout out to me a single mom of two, employee and entrepreneur
Camp Pickleball?
whats up dog Shaan?
who’s gonna take google’s place? I will
What Does "Kagi" Mean?
The word "kagi" means "key" in Japanese.
Kagi is pronounced as kah-gee. You can listen to the pronunciation.
Go touch a grass, they said...
Has anybody ever started a business based on the suggestion they make? They produce content like crazy. Just so you know where there is quantity, there is no quality.
Dont waste your time in these podcast
since AI it's all obsolete
Go Kevin @ EpicGardening🎉
