    Filmed in 2014 Young life of Entrepreneurs , I watched Jess mah together with the founders of Vimeo,Dropbox and others. She was already a millionaire at that time .
    I learned from what she said on that film " No matter what you do, You can always come up with excuses and the hardest part is just to Start " .
    By Hearing that hits me hard and I already started my own clothing company. What an inspiration .

    She is amazing. Straight to the point. She made some great points. One that stuck with me is building a team of executors. I feel this is key 🔑 - how did she do this though ? Maybe add that to something you guys talk about . A master class on team building.

    Jess - your idea about compounding the supplement mix was so brilliant; I was actually considering doing a Bryan Johnson protocol but saw he took like 100 pills a day - I thought that's too much to keep track of and ingest/digest. I actually reached out to him and asked him if compounding might be a better idea and he replied - nah. I for one would do the compounding thing to get my optimal mix of supps. in a more convenient and potent form. Let me know when/if you commercialize this and/or if u want people on that team! So kudos!!!!

    To the discussion of "We don't build great products to make money, we make money to build great products", I think that's more of a "My second million" discussion... People care about money until they are Financially secure, but once they are at least relatively successful I think most people are using their money for the things they care about...

    Btw I’m a legit disabled vet and abusing service dog status like that is not ok. My Doberman went to engineer school with me in Boulder, legit-like. Great guest otherwise , but yeah, don’t wreck it for the rest of us that legit need our dogs

    • @elsavelaz
      @elsavelaz 11 місяців тому +5

      The doggo just needs their papers. Being sad and dealing with childhood bullying from teachers and nerds is definitely legit reason to get a psychiatric service dog. Psychiatric vs emotional support gets the doggo all the same rights as a service dog and it’s nobody’s business but her and the doggo’s after that. I bet the pup would love to be legit and have their own job, my dog and all the service dogs love getting to have jobs for their human. My life’s work is to bring dog kind closer to human kind, I hope she invests in getting dogs closer to being able to communicate with humans, whatever that might look like.

    • @iryumika
      @iryumika 11 місяців тому +2

      @@elsavelaz I think that's a lot an issue of humans not listening to dogs. I think they talk plenty, but we are not taught to deeply listen, whether towards other humans or animals.
      I believe many generations ago, animals and humans were understanding each other much more intuitively. Maybe mostly in the direction of man's ability having deteriorated as we have isolated ourselves from animals as well as magic - which is one path to more understanding.
      I love interacting with dogs and i feel like i understand them well. They have alot in their eyes, small movements, their energy. It's all communication. And every dog is completely different. I have an allergy to dogs at the same time, but i love spending time with them learning how they want to be approached, and learning what they understand about life. Sometimes if i am just assuming i could listen to a dog they tell me great things. I am not saying this necessarily is coming from the dogs, but it's an appealing interpretation of my brain/being/consciousness of what i feel coming from them when i am constructing this storyline.

    notes:
    you dont have to be the “winner” status quo. Meditate on what success actually looks for you.
    what would you do if you had 1bill usd?
    it’s dangerous to wait. It’s more risky to wait than it is to take action now, you’ll always lack time, money, knowledge, skills. start now. Focus on be resourceful. Manifest.
    Always do belly-to-belly business
    Have fun building interesting things instead of doing it for the money

  • @TailspinMedia
    @TailspinMedia 10 місяців тому +12

    Kudos to Shaan on his success and this platform, but personally i do sometimes wish these conversations were a bit heavier on the business technical and a little lighter on the generic stuff like "the dangers of waiting or [overcoming negative self talk]"...we can learn the latter from almost any self help podcast

    Love some of the people you interview, but not sure about this one. Getting super scammer-y vibes here. You guys have had some really legit people on here, but this ain't it.. a lot of things set off my BS radar early so I went to fact check. Quick due diligence yields pretty shocking results (litigation around misappropriation of funds, former employees saying books were being cooked, valuation doesn't add up). I'm gonna skip this one lol.

    • @1Satyam1
      @1Satyam1 11 місяців тому +2

      Bro am I autistic or something?
      People here are commenting that they got scammery vibes right off the bat but I didn't sense it at all (especially bc Shaan hyped up her to the moon at the start.)
      She is definitely beating the "mindset" horse a lot which is often sus. She has avoided divulging too much about the specific buisnesses she deals with (yet) and is talking a lot abt billionaire lifestyle; both red flag-ish. She often drops humble brags too.
      Despite all that it's still not ticking off my radar. Will do my research on her but any other specific thing you noticed that made you opt out?
      Edit: She does discuss her buisnesses. Seems like she mostly raises money.
