The give and take of Shaan and Sam is honestly delightful. You can tell they genuinely like hanging out, nerding out on this stuff, and trying to impress each other with their findings. As "an ambitious man with strong wifi", (LOL) this podcast really gives me a boost while I do my job in Tech!

[@tylermelik7353]

I’m just glad Sam’s Hampton ad isn’t running anymore

[@MG-kt1ck]

They changed it with blowing their friends and name dropping investments less intrusively.

[@anierenimmay]

To be fair, these guys drop so much value multiple times a week and do it in such a feel good way, i don't mind their ads. More than fair trade. And at least it is not an Athletic Greens ad...

[@fractalarbitrage]

You guys see ads I see copywork

[@Rickyyis]

😂

You are on a podcast about business and you are glad he ain't selling??

Oleg tinkov recovered from leukemia

[@christynorman7288]

That's fantastic did Oleg go au natural ? Or just kept changing the blood. ? Stem cells? I'm so glad what's he doing now?

Banger episode!

[@andyatmosphere]

This Pavel bro is now my new hero! LFG! Ripped and no F given!

[@adamk8724]

Side note: if you had business in 90s Russia, there was some rubbing with mobsters. Three options: either you paid them to leave you alone, helped with their "business ventures" or were friends with the right people, so they didn't mess with you. 90s milionares from this neck of the woods are always a bit sus, because of this imo.

[@sukhinin]

A few things weren't correct on the pod - 1. Telegram does ads on channels right now, 2. Pavel received some of the money for VK, but less than the market value

[@sukhinin]

Tinkoff had leukemia but he had successful treatment and not dying right now

[@AMGF815]

@@sukhinin Any talk about him having been hit with radiation poisoning like other people who spoke out against Putin?

[@anthonynwaneri7991]

Thanks for doing this fellas! Awesome episode!

[@EcomCarl]

👏 Fascinating insights! It's refreshing to see a list celebrating entrepreneurs for their intriguing journeys and bold decisions rather than just their financial success. Pavel Durov's story is a testament to the power of standing firm in one's principles, even in the face of immense pressure. 💪

The insights on eccentric businessmen were absolutely fascinating..

Another banger. I dunno how you do it but you do it

Want a awesome pod to listen to. It kept me engaged for the entire hour.

[@simplejohnreed5016]

I love these kind of shows, thanks guys

Million Dollar Baby should be the theme song to the pod.

This is a great podcast, I think everyone mentioned here are very interesting people.

I agree. I bet there’s a ton more interesting folks to discover like these. I only knew of two of these guys.

[@mmxvlla]

one of the favorite episodes of mine

[@PankajDoharey]

Amazing start, The russian guy is inspiring.

[@NatalieGilVEVO]

I am so excited for the female version of this list, huge fan of you guys

[@TheEamonKeane]

"hairier and rounder" 😂

[@kyrillkrystallis]

Correction: Telegram makes money by allowing advertisers to run ads on the platform.

[@user-mu7lm7fq2m]

I've been a fan of the show for years now and this one has changed my opinion a bit. Being Russian myself and following Pavel and Oleg, I can say that you need to fact-check better. Some details you mentioned about them are obsolete or untrue. So I would advise taking what you say with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, thanks for the podcast, it is still one of my favourites.

[@yegor777]

Great “Thrill of the Shill” by Shaan 😉

[@adithyaprasad6994]

Guru ji!!

[@AlexMacGregor]

Durov is the most under rated entrepreneur!

[@justinpotier6836]

Another interesting thing about Vivi Nevo is that he appeared in a Kendrick Lamar music video with jack dorsey.

My God THIS POD IS LIFE CHANGING!

Your life will only get worse if you follow these two clowns.

Wait is everyone getting ads on MFM vids now?
Have they monetised the channel now. Interesting!

I can say you more. Oleg Tinkov sold his ravioli business to Roman Abramovich

The funny thing is that telegram now has a cryptocurrency making them billions A YEAR

[@fredhadley739]

Nevo's looks remind me of golfer Jesper Parnevik.

the 1st place guy is for sure the most interesting

[@wilfredpeake9987]

I'm curious on the last guy please let me know who he is

Does he drink some obscure liquor? Does he smoke cigars? C'mon boys!

[@ezizdurdyyev3813]

It is so unethical of you (not surprised) for not citing/mentioning Tucker Carlson's interview with Pavel Durov, from where you get the most of your information.

[@middleclassinvesting]

Last guy is totally mosaad and epstien besty probably

Sam’s about to get a lot of groypers messaging him
