    Stuff I missed - how he _ACTUALLY_ earned his 1st million:
    Step 1 - he hired someone to do javascript for $500
    Step 2 - aaand suddenly he is making million(s) per year
    Would be really nice to have few more steps in between - client leads, keeping workflow/pipeline, salaries, hiring people, etc.

      $1mil profit I assume is at least 2 - 2.2 mil per yr. At 23! That's crazy. I think a lot of it had to do with being early. He started Metalab circa 2006. Curious what he was doing for lead gen.

      Just another symptom of (The) Hustle™culture waning content with shorter and shorter copy, considered "better"; more condensed and of substance. Which I suppose could be true, but we aren't just computers for whom data is our sole input, alone. We need those vibes, too. Stuff those humanistic vibes in my Thunder 2™hole, zaddy.

    Guys, from a place of love. Stop the editing. Your podcast is perfect the way it was. This feels too high paced and unnatural.
    Like you’ve stated correctly in the past, the key of MFM is that it feels like you were hanging out with your entrepreneur friends.
    The editing messes that up.

    They mention a book titled “How to get rich”, but I didn’t hear an author mentioned. As the guest was talking about the book, Sam jumps right in to ask Shaan if he read the book without giving the guest a chance to finish the sentence and perhaps mention the author. They then talk about the book and mention that “he did x…”. Who is the “he”?
