[@dennisalanvids]

Where is the first interview? So hard to find here

[@MrSpencScott]

Shaan, I am 6'8" 220 and the ceo of Median, can I get in on the undercarriag? I have ZERO fighting experience but have always wanted to try.

[@jimmyc215]

Did the boxing PPV ever happen?

[@fatboywins]

Any options for website selling sites, apart from flippa and quiet storm?

[@jozshuszi1216]

Would be awesome to see this boxing match lmao

[@progamer1196]

I am buying the $10 ticket if the match option is still up

[@Jtradesz]

WHERES THE BOXING MATCH ????

[@funsark]

11:11 - Hoezaay...

[@AMGF815]

When the host keeps interrupting the guest, worst of all, as the guest is about to give a very interesting example (11:50).

[@Molloy1951]

It will be awesome if we get to know that after this episode you bought a nice video call setup, Ramon ;)

[@antoineletrillart]

Zuck vs Elon for the boxing match!

[@cs2294]

Does anybody have recommendations for a good marketplace or email list to join for ecommerce businesses for sale?

[@samuelsm]

Quietlight brokerage, you also learn a lot seeing the metrics of alll the bizs for sale

[@fatboywins]

Both flippa, and quiet light have access denied on their sites!

[@2XCoworking]

Add me to your PPV broadcast list! (I'm on the Hustle and Shaan's 5 tweet email lists)

[@mohdmajid1]

Maybe raise money from angels than VCs

[@tigreytigrey8537]

I'm stealing his idea. Now I'm selling dog ramps. Super easy. Just buy ramps from China. Then Increase the price and sell them on shopify using Google shopping ads and Facebook ads.

[@thejanswist]

Shaan interrupting him so often really makes it harder to listen. Let the man talk
