[@christopheroconnell7579]

Get this guy on more. Super chill, smart, and entertaining

[@crbradbury8282]

Yessss!

[@matthewhanselman9340]

John is an absolute legend! He brings the energy to a new level and really riffs with the boys. He should be a regular guest.

[@curiousnrd]

The amount of information these gentlemen 'Give Away' is ridiculous! This channel is criminally underrated and a treasure trove of opportunities.💪🏾

[@LevelofClarity]

100% Agree!

[@Brodragon2225]

Because people are busy in watching fancy startup shows like Gary vee or Andrew tate or they are just watching football and making their careers like it😂😂

[@ryangreen45]

My whole perspective of online businesses changed once I started listening to this podcast.

[@curiousnrd]

@@ryangreen45 Same, I've reframed the way I see opportunities!

[@curiousnrd]

@@Brodragon2225 We are in the era of 'Attractive Illusions' ... the real work is rough and requires work and refinement. This podcast digs into the WORK and that why I keep coming back.💪🏾

[@mitchellberthelot5655]

This guy deserves to be a regular! Great storyteller and has amazing chemistry with y’all

[@HMcCal]

Australian Psychologist here, happy to partner with someone on that 'Personality Test' idea if anyone can take lead with the coding etc. Sounds like a business I could sink my teeth into.

[@ankursolanki6204]

John is a cool guest. Love his videos

[@UnderTheBar]

According to Linus he was offered ~100m for his entire brand/associated channels. Huge creator and an impressive business, yet still unknown to a degree. That makes KZbin/internet business so fascinating to me.

[@CubeyyGaming]

Such an interesting story about the tape company, we had a printer ink company doing this in Australia!

[@privateequityguy]

These VPN businesses are insane. I know a guy who runs a VPN affiliate site. Almost an 8 fig company with 90% margins. The secret? He has been doing it for almost 10 yrs.

[@darrencorley8857]

Business and humour what more do you need thanks guys form Ireland !!!

[@abdulbasitbello2381]

I love you guys! You have the best guests and the best conversations?! You guys are legendary 😂

[@LowBudgetCapitalist]

Loved this pod, great energy and tons of new information

[@WatchME_DIY]

Solid guest and a perfect fit. It's like he's one of the boys and love the fact he put down the "lifestyle business" point just to get you guys going and have something to chop it up about.

[@IanHobday]

"Fun" fact: Ronald Reagan signed California's strict gun control into law after the Black Panthers started carrying riffles during community patrols.

[@IAmDiegoMilan]

Loving this upload schedule

[@probsomething]

Been looking forward to this one!

[@Beckyloveslife]

Sam, so cool just chilling out on the sofa with is homies😂😂😂❤

[@mogulsandmoonshots]

Leave it to the VC to say that VC's have the biggest impact on the world 🤣

[@tutorialsartandvids7136]

It’s been almost 4 weeks since I watched you guys I’m glad to be back, I like John’s videos as well

[@PaweGodych]

This is one of the best episodes!

[@RichEdwards]

One thing on the size of company and impact -> this implies there isn't a premium on control for the entrepreneur. Looking at the longer term history of major founders, maintaining control was a huge part of their strategy. Maybe there's an angle around modern VS being more aligned with the idea of the founder/CEO. However, the vision of many real titans seems to be longer than the investment time horizon of VC investment (think James Dyson).

[@3ec220]

19:51 I want to hear the rest of his statement!!

[@matthewulodo2118]

Demn!! this is was fun! Nothing like having guest with insance sense of humor like Shaan and Sam!

[@BironClark]

I'm glad Sam made the point that a lifestyle biz can free you and your time, so that you can then pursue moonshot ideas for the rest of your life. That's spot-on. Lifestyle biz ftw! At least til you are financially free

[@matanassulin]

1:02:20 yooo Sam legs are tatted af! Didn’t realize he leaned back far in this moment 😂

[@stoicismcore]

What platform do you guys use for remote podcasting?

[@jimdandy8996]

At the beginning they said this guy never had a job and then at the end he tells the story of a telemarketing job he once had.

[@TWalker87]

That tape idea is genius not gonna lie 🤣

[@antoniocollins]

Easily one of my favorite guests ever

[@matanassulin]

Fun pod! I watch Johns channel, but this is cool hearing him unfiltered by a youtube script

[@spacetimergames]

why isn't the last story a short? it's the best joke on this podcast out of all the episodes

[@STORIESFROMKENYA]

Been at the begining of both channels journeys, feels like a crossover episode

[@dkaufman]

Trainer alert 🚨🚨🚨. And Shaan mentions him again! Bring him on the pod!

[@zachcarrizales5038]

Black powder supply is the bottleneck in the munition idea.

[@AMFlight815]

Coogan doesn’t seem to understand that not every entrepreneur has the same goals and desires he has and not all the greatest positive impact on humanity comes from businesses.

[@LachieSamuel]

I wonder if hes got that mindset because he took on so much vc, sold at a loss. And now has to do something big to redeem himself. Def need people who think like this thhough!

[@AMFlight815]

@@LachieSamuel Your comment sounds about right to me.

[@mjmikaelson]

John is awesome! ✨😉👍

[@terriblet9810]

Thoughts on the Unity game engine craziness???

[@samgamewell]

Another brilliant one guys!!

[@nbme-answers]

Coogan also played Greg on the hit show Succession

[@EricLawtonForbes]

Do they teach the Barnum effect in palm reading, and psychic school? 😂✨ 56:30

[@byteolu]

Needed this.

[@Finnious]

Fun conversation… beautifully done

[@pizza2much404]

Love this podcast!

[@ray-mc-l]

46:03 I don't like Elon Musk, but I do actually believe he was thinking about space when he was doing PayPal. Jeff Bezos made a speech about space when he was valedictorian at his high school. These guys are ambitious with a capital A.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

90% of musk's income comes from the government. He is a CIA cutout.

[@mylesjwilson]

My girlfriend: “You love to watch those two guys” 😂😂😂 she’s right

[@samparr9899]

*our girlfriend

[@GeorgeRodriguez72]

2 - Thinking about Rome is small boy stuff...thinking about Mary Beard is Trillionaire thinking. Sam, check out Emperor of Rome: Ruling the Ancient Roman World (October 24, 2023).

[@ninjatoitle]

Love this pod 😍

[@jerzeyshoredevil]

Nice Kenny Powers quote Sam!

[@3DHDcat]

forgot about soylent,i remember they had this effective ad campaign "soyboy" with a white male with a wide expression wanting to drink it. Couldn't browse SM without seeing it everywhere

[@djwayne3]

lifestyle business kings meet the big boy world-changing business.... king, prince, story teller???

[@motivational7531]

Thanks for the tape selling idea , is my next business 😂

[@tomquirk]

Instant classic. Repeat guest incoming

[@ClipMe-ru2wk]

You should definitely have this guy again!

[@WadianDictator]

Sam shouldn't skip leg day, that sick tattoo on a chopstick leg looks funny.

[@samparr9899]

bro, they call me thunder thighs for a reason.

[@WadianDictator]

@@samparr9899 because it is visible only for a few secs? Jokes aside I knew you'd reply like shaan did, just ticked an item on my todo list.

[@paulgarcia2887]

Are you going to sell those floating light bulb? I know you talked about it way back

[@Chris..........]

My first thought. “I’m in the tape business.”

[@alwayzsmarter]

ohh so he met co-founder in preschool I get it. So how do I reconnect with the people I went to preschool with? I don't want to start my schooling over again...

[@ChrisTetleyMD]

Re guns: you guys seriously need to have Matt Carriker from Demolition Ranch on

[@britainjacobson]

Another great episode, haha

[@NeonPinxSam]

This episode is so cringe. Being a former CIA officer/analyst is not a flex for someone wanting to be in office for the ppl… cmon George bush sr!!?! So typical

[@KingKongHitDaBong]

Dope fella he fit right in

[@dolceb7532]

Every question you guys asked him. This guy just flip flopped around it maybe he's just too excited not precise.

[@vimalcurio]

They ask weird questions

[@kakomamakondo8884]

Yoooo John coogan😮😮

[@Opeyemi.sanusi]

It’s weird I got here first. I have never been the first to a video before 😂

[@kyledailygaming]

Have shane gillis on. #1 on patreon

[@krisb-travel]

Does mfm have a discord channel?

[@whoisthis3038]

the OG soyboy

[@jaxonwright2296]

Y’all need Dave portnoy on the pod!

[@terriblet9810]

Why is carrying a gun ‘crazy’? In crime ridden cities it would be very logical to carry. Why are Sam and Shaan so scared of guns? Don’t make sense, very weird, they are like adult sized children. Generally love the show but then there is this very illogical, weird, immature behavior.

[@samparr9899]

I think its quite logical to be afraid of guns.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

One guy was afraid he'd shoot himself, the other guy was afraid what his liberal friends might think about him.

[@Chandrell_S]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@andrejthechef]

Isn't soylent green people?

[@briskettaco]

This dude doesn't know anything about ammunition.

[@vimalcurio]

Yes, you're expert right !

[@briskettaco]

Yes.

[@PhilippDurrer]

Well let's start a whitelabel VPN Business then...

[@PDC-yy4gh]

❤😇🙏

[@djay_popping2793]

Editing is terrible on this one ngl

[@engineeredaf1920]

The crossover the world has been waiting for. Can’t wait to listen to this one in the shower 🧼
