MFM is the one pod where I’d rather watch the full episode than just clips
AGREED!!!
They’re averaging about 30K views on the long form. The clips will reach a wider audience. Some of those might even convert to the long form.
Agreed too
Yup
Same
I’m 3 minutes in and Shaan just dropped the line of the episode… “because we’re rich”.
Put that on the shirt. Lol
'Slow and Stupid' - lets get that on a shirt 😂 ❤
Speaking of sewing. You may like to do a segment on the man. Reginald F. Lewis was a billion dollar maverick and philanthropist. From acquiring a pattern company for $22.5 million, elevating its value to $65 million, to a historic $985 million leveraged buyout of Beatrice Foods, Lewis's story is a testament to resilience and innovation, showcasing impressive margins and inspiring people to challenge norms and make an impact.
Jesus, I just finally caught up on the mfm playlist, closed the window, and within 10 minutes...there's another. "sigh" *unzips pants.
Doodh is the secret of Sam’s energy, No Shaans energy
This is so perfect! I love the idea of taking all the valuable information and condensing it for your viewers. PLEASE do this. We watch your videos already; I would love to have access to faster information. Its genius and so much of a time saver. I appreciate it guys. You guys provide so much value and I also love your candid unfiltered personalities.
Sam just won me over when he said he drinks a glass of whole milk at dinner. I don’t need to know anything else
If you know you know
i drink straight out the gallon because a cup is never enough
I think you should be careful moving too many of this audience to the clips channel. Of course, this audience is interested in the content, but I'd say most like the long-form, podcast format. If you send us to the new channel and then we don't interact with it, it's a bad signal to the algorithm and it'll actually restrict the clip videos from being recommended to new viewers.
“Because we're rich in case you miss that part😏”
😂😂
"Coz we're rich"😂😂😂
Instant subbing that other channel. You guys deserve it all ✊🏽
Would love you guys to do a breakdown on the Hubspot deal. How you were able to negotiate things like incorporating Shepherd ads into your pod, why you're incentivized to grow the pod, if the clip channel is part of the Hubspot deal or not, etc.
That would be an awesome segment. I often wonder what’s their Hubspot incentive structure.🤔 MFM’s core demographic is rather affluent..Their advertising and sponsorship revenue would be INSANE.💰💰
My favorite kinda episode!!! Ideas after ideas and talks about beast entrepreneurs!! Keep em coming!
I been watching for a long while, first time sub. Keep it up fellas!
My addiction has posted!!!!
I love you guys !!! This podcast made my morning
Cricut is an example of how a single product can impact the economy positively. Because sure they make money, but a ton of people use them to make money, and a ton of people sell designs and vectors to those people so they also make money etc.
So true. Makes me very curious to see this competition he couldn’t mention.
@@SpareMoves I missed that part, but I think Cameo is a direct competitor of Cricut.
@@MG-kt1ck Silhouette makes the Cameo. Cricut did much better at marketing than them. But he made it sound like a whole new company is coming out.
@@SpareMoves Must have missed that part. I have a silhoette and hate it, their software is a scam that charges you for the most basic things ($25 to have an option to import SVG give me a break). Cricut in my country is way more expensive though.
but nobody is making money but cricut
With the introduction of a new producer, I've noticed some significant changes in the podcast's format. The sound effects between each segment, in particular, now give off a commercialized vibe. Instead of the casual, laid-back atmosphere of two friends discussing business, it feels more like a sales pitch. I miss the old, relaxed vibe where it felt as though I was eavesdropping on a genuine conversation without the distraction of commercial interludes.
Adding on to this, I think if you include segment sounds, leave a bit more time in between the segments. I am missing the natural translations and I always think I just accidentally skipped the last section of a topic.
My suggestion is to use the short form platform to build excitement a few days before an episode airs. In other words, why have the videos summarize the podcast, when they can summarize the podcast AND build excitement a few days before.
🎉MFM clips channel was super dope.. Sometimes we just need a “quick hit”… No need for a full on blast!😂👍🏽…Also, loved the Etsy private label research hack!! Been an Amazon and eBay power seller for a years now, and our margins are getting thin AF..smdh🤦🏽♂️.. Even the liquidators we buy from jacked up their prices..🖕🏼..Anywho, Private label coming soon!!💪🏼
You need a No Public Math t-shirt. I have several co-workers now using that phrase.
Yes, please!!
my favorite show! I just purchased the No Small Boy Stuff Trillionaire Grindset T-Shirt 😀
Awesome merch!
0:38 favorite quote from this pod
Anyone know if the sizing of the merch runs big or small? The size chart on the site isn't really helpful as I don't normally know those measurements.. TIA!
4 AM in Alaska - lets fooking go boys!!!
creating clips is definitly great idea :) subscribed
I watch every episode, all the way through. Can't get the full MFM experience via clips. :)
Merch ordered!! Boom 🎉
Back to back to back hit episode
Sam would love skittles flavored Zyn lol
A mouth surprise
Can we take a moment to appreciate Sam's t-shirt!
MFM dad hats would be a vibe - would love to see that being added next
I loved how there was no ads on this video. :)
#1 fan needs that must have MFM collectible. My signed Shaan & Sam photo is no longer cutting it.
An improved version of the gamer dating app could be the gamer teaming app, where you can pick a team game (cod, LoL, whatever) and post your role and play style. The app would then try to match you with other players in order to make balanced teams.
Something along the lines of "tank looking for healer and dps"
Love the pod.
I have this paper cutting machine. Did not know they are billion $ company. Thanks for sharing.
Hey guys could u share who you used for your merch
"And then it hit me..." Love the honesty here.
I'm blazing through all the episodes and have decided to recommend one book to Sam per episode. He may buy it and Shaan can download the Kindle sample and read his 20-40 pages. This episode I recommend Kashmir Hill's Your Face Belongs to Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest to End Privacy as We Know It.
45:05 RSVP for poker night* Full Tilt OG baby!!!
Your podcast saves my depressions
You guys are awesome and so under rated too. Hey is there a dating app for people owning businesses?
Sounds like owning a business is your whole personality
Sam painted his nails, is Hamptons starting rockband as well...
I mean there is a hybrid of a 3-d printer that can be given an attachment to cut as a circuit
“Cuz I’m rich” shirts need to be added
I wish you had a trucker hat with your signatures!!!
night time snacking is one of the worst things you can do especially with sugar.
Interesting how Etsy sellers and Michael's shoppers overlap, the just launched a Etsy competitor
Funny, the coop logo and color is the same as the swiss supermarket coop (short for cooperation)!
That Clear company should go into KYC
Valuable content
I recommend doing a deepdive on Laurence escalante and his company vwg. The story ist crazy and now he cashes out +400 million a year.
the fade is in!
When I was a kid I found a gas station that had a vending machine in the toilets. It sold flavoured condoms and chewing gum. We just called it a chewing gum machine. You could blow massive bubbles or catch massive blows but the gum is terrible.
I like Ari, can we have more Ari? Her smile is so wow T-T
cloud poker night would be smart to create a new category separate from "cloud poker" to distinguish "for business minds" angle
New shirt tagline. “Cuz we’re rich”
Shaan missed the point of the Clear "at the ballpark idea". Why wouldn't there be automated beer vending stations? They can ID a person and pour them a beer...no labor, quicker, more stations = less lines.
This also solves my question of "why aren't there fully automated gas stations/convenience stores?" Because previously, how valuable would it be without alcohol, tobacco and lottery sales...not very. Clear would also solve that problem!
I just bought the hoodie 🤙
From India - and can confirm it's a wild place.
Nice pod guys!! I'll send you a MFM Tribes idea soon.
I comment here to help your algo ✨
Irish Paul
Helsinki
15:26 in Finland😊
heyyy why'd you cut out the story at 27:20
I was going to buy a MFM shirt, but then I bought an Austin 3:16 one
Ka-Ron 😂😂😂
Poker Game online would be great lol 🎉
Im looking for a quote from episodes in may/june that went along the lines of "if you ignore trying to make money or get girls, more will come your way" it was said in a much funnier and shorter way, but I cant get the rhythm or rhyme in my memory.. anyone else remember this?
La Quinta, Pronounced: “La Keen-Ta” - let them know u down with the homies
I want SAM's eyebrows on the back of the T's.
All the women over here astonished no has heard of a Cricut 😂
Fantastic episode boys
Ari makes things faster and less boring 👍
Team are there any animals from Bangalore on this POD ? Hit me up please
I'm pretty sure the gamer dating app has been made a lot of times and failed every time
49:16 Producer Fail... should have edited out the Sam clip mentioning Cricut AFTER it was already covered.... TOLD YA ...SHOULDA HIRED ME... Now My Price is Double.
Talk Soon Small Boys.
Clear for schools
Hi Sam and Shaan, big fan of your podcast. Sam, what's on your right index finger, can't get my eyes off it.
Are you opposed to feedback on your merch?
Video Gamer Dating App Names:
Bond... Games Bond
Show Me Your Joystick
Next Level Lovers
Clear? NO thanks. It just screams the future of federal screening. 13:33 I'm totally okay with one of the few things that makes me a unique individual NOT being housed on some server by some faceless company.
amen
That clear thing sounds awfully like china tech 🤔
No guests = 🔥pod
I can't believe you guys hadn't heard of cricuts. Ask any women about them they love them
Shaan’s mom’s story has to be 20-30 years old.
Today even the poorest people in the remotest villages in India have access to a basic smart phone or at least a feature phone and they very well know how to use it.
The utensils thing is definitely a cooked up story. Everyone currently has and had access to utensils even 30 years ago.
Nevil’s claim about India being a miserable place are true to some extent but only in the small towns and some parts of cities.
I’m sure everyone who listens to this podcast from India is financially extremely stable.
But yeah like every other country, income equality exists here.
Request you to acknowledge these points when you talk about India. Otherwise ignorant folks will have an impression of India that’s not completely true.
4:46 Bahaha Milk!!!
I have used a few people and had a bad experience
I know John 3:16 but what's Austin 3:16?
The numbers on that dating app is wrong. I was on the inside.
$8 an hour!!! You guys are rich, pay your people
Gamer Dating App - know a girl who only swipes right on people that mention gaming, but her VERY FIRST QUESTION is what game they play and what rank. Being silver is the equivalent of being under 6 foot.
"Who took all? Tinder? Nope. Bumble? Nope. Match? Nope." I mean, these are all Match-owned apps lol
too many outdated case studies. the problem with Etsy is if you succeed you'll only attract a million competitors copying what you do. Etsy wins, sellers lose. Dude's mom selling hundreds of thousands selling pillows on Etsy? what's the profit?
There’s a third person there suddenly? Wut
One of the best episode ( well done Ari )
5:34pm in India first comment
Hey can I run your merch store ?
No
....Because were rich.... Incase you missed that part 🤑
I love men ❤
Lololol 15:20
