[@Driver61]

I've watched almost all the pods, and this was probably my favourite.

[@ZelenoJabko]

you write this on every podcast. I can see it.

Guys a billionaire and he's use $29 apple headphones because they aren't wireless and work the best.

[@tahirashafmithapuri2686]

I use the same because they don’t need to be changed. I am not a billionaire though

[@15nate]

The amount in which I vibe with this guy is amazing! He’s doing it right 🙏🏻🔥

[@grahamkennedy7221]

0:46 This backs up my statement from last week. Sam has that tenacious, telemarketer energy.

[@bangerpickleball]

Great job taking the lead on this one Sam, I love these unknown superstars.

[@gutts]

I appreciate you guys so much! The things I get exposed to through this podcast are life changing. At the end of some of these I get a similar feeling to the aftermath of an awesome UFC card. Great work guys! Super inspiring!

[@ChrisSwafford1]

THE BEST pod to date. Thank you Sam, Shaan and Kevin.

[@stefan-t--]

this is the best interview on the pod ever, absolutely incredible

[@IAmDiegoMilan]

I’ve dropped off from listening to so many podcasts but I keep back to you guys cause of the quality and consistency of these episodes. Keep it going! 🚀

[@cesardeoliveira8262]

Brilliant guest, great interview! One of your best, together with Anand Sanwal's.

[@vybo]

Great episode. MFM has quickly become my favourite podcast by far. Love these unknown guests.

[@winnersclips]

Chairman over CEO ✅✅✅ "I don't want their job because I can run multiple companies as a Chairman". A man needs to open his mouth once to reveal how big he really is. Kudos, Mr Kevin Ryan!

[@David-ks6bw]

I listen to every episode you put out. This guy is next level tho!

[@equestrianinternational1209]

Great pod. As an entrepreneur, it's so great to listen to others, their mindset and strategy.

[@mrbinspire]

totally 💯

[@dotpenji]

Your ability to focus while launching multiple companies each year is truly impressive. What keeps you motivated and excited about entrepreneurship?

[@ShekinahSol-kv3fp]

The conversation between Kevin Ryan and Sam Altman is engaging and informative. They discuss a wide range of topics, including the importance of hiring fast, the value of investing in growth, and the importance of having a clear vision for your company.

[@CyrineZee]

This is quite amazing! I enjoy this video.

[@markanthonymanayan2136]

Insightful interview, and it's fascinating to learn how successful entrepreneurs like this billionaire founder think and find those billion-dollar business ideas. Thanks for having this kind of content, really appreciates it.

[@motivatedbeastph]

This chat has been truly exceptional, offering profound insights. Kevin's ability to simplify complex subjects is genuinely impressive. Thank you both for this valuable interaction.

[@itsme_jervy1404]

the thrill of innovation, the opportunity to solve problems, and the chance to create something new and valuable. As for choosing from unique website options, it can indeed be challenging, but remember that your decision should align with your specific goals and audience, so take your time to evaluate which one resonates best with your content and objectives - it's all about finding the right fit for your vision!

[@TheBusinessHandyMan]

Every episode is a banger

[@thiernomamoudoubalde3754]

besides the bank where can i double my money, I believe the bank is ripping me off

[@aaravsamardh7089]

Yeah I have to pull my cash from bank of America yesterday to my real estate till I find a better option

[@carendemoya5429]

I'm making three thousand dollar every week from stock investment, I still complain to my FA is not big enough, hope I'm not been greedy at this point

[@abhis9353]

wow you guys are raising the pod to the next level!

[@Bestof257Official]

Kevin Ryan is amazing. This pod will be a returning one

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

This guy is awesome. All that achievement and still unknown, epic

[@Xanthrochroid]

Sam knows nothing about the history of cars., and no wonder Business Insider is garbage given they take pride in churning out rumors and half-truths.

[@robertvictor1391]

The Value I got from the podcast is insane, thank you.

Best episode yet - my kids and I listen on the way to their high school; I'm a techie turned VC and - super biased - work with Kevin Ryan :D. Amazing episode, so glad Kevin came on the pod!

[@leoifediba3355]

This is probably one of my best mfm episodes, if not the best! Gotta listen to this episode over again, too many gems dropped by the guest. 💎💎💎💎💎 Great job guys!!

[@mrbinspire]

gold mine 💎

[@LevelofClarity]

Great interview. Super interesting that Kevin doesn't hold any public equities outside of Mongo DB.

[@3ec220]

I think something magical accidentally happen with the title being “video”. Look at the engagement right away😅😅

[@chileab.]

Nah, this guy looks too much like an older Sam.

[@eliasdotco]

Excited to watch this Video

[@BeardyCurls]

this was a banger of a poddy!

[@divakard]

One of the most valuable things I’ve listened to all year. Kudos to you guys.

[@mybocks3]

Phenomenal interview! As great as the guest was, i have to say you guys asked *excellent* questions and did a great job of getting out of the way and letting him answer. Also, amazing job of keeping it light while not letting the laughs overshadow the business part. *1 new subscriber*

[@BossTonComedy]

Love the title

[@briskettaco]

Epic title. 😂

[@mefisto05s.20]

For those who don't know, the original title was just 'video' by mistake I think

[@kaizenTechVideos]

Nice shirt, Sam !!

[@ashwinsingh09]

First, love that there is no video title

[@abhayrohom]

Wow, he shared some very 'High Level' insights.

[@podcastsyoutube5524]

Great episode.

[@kylewrage]

bro this guy is on another level. its amazing

[@MattByron]

10 year trends... very interesting strategy! Great pod!

[@lorenzo.danese]

This guy is a legend!

[@drainodrew]

This comment section is so wholesome 🥲

[@MIDE..]

This was an amazing chat. Very insightful. The way Kevin simplifies complicated topics is very impressive. Short and concise answers addressing every part of the question. Thanks guys for this.

[@SuperiorPresa-mv6xr]

A bro check my dogs out @SuperiorPresa

[@ankurama42]

Cool title for a Podcast(here before they change it)

[@parttimelarry]

This guy is next level

[@crbradbury8282]

Don't love this dude. Kinda has the State or County Level Judge vibe. But happy for his success story and immense wealth gained and all 🧐⚡🎩

[@RajiveJain2014]

Obviously Kevin is a very successful, insightful, brilliant businessman. I understand financial statements, business, returns etc.. Yet I do cringe whenever I hear about labor costs increasing & people like Kevin massively justifying putting people out of jobs through automation. These techies actually work hard to ensure people lose their livelihoods, increase human misery & trumpet it as a great thing because they've never understood the human implications of decisions (or maybe they do very well and simply don't care about the human consequences). The world really needs to come to terms with such people, how they affect us. And psychedelics ?? Seriously ? How about spending those millions on an environmental cause?

[@YallahYah]

@20:24 some analysts predict the psychedelic and psychoactive therapy industry will surpass $10 billion by 2027.

[@NicholasPalance]

I studied these guys, as well. The Kevin & Dwight partnership is truly epic.

[@mrbinspire]

dope. any book, article, or video recommendations?

[@ThisIsNotWhatItLooksLik]

This episode is supposed to bring a lot of detailed value, podcasted pecked it as their favorite episode.

[@websitelaunchcourse4061]

Min 13:29 ....300,000,000 uniques and no ad spend.....Sayyyyyyy Waaaatt!!! 😮😮

[@elhannesia]

Kevin is my hero! Thanks guys for bringing us this episode with him!

[@alwayzsmarter]

whys this got a company without a name lol. based on personal experience you should spend the first year picking a name and colors

[@RichEdwards]

So why did he have a PR team getting him on the show if he's shying away from talking heads gigs? Was there an implied ask for talking to this audience?

[@samparr9899]

I don't even know if it was PR. I was kidding.

[@RichEdwards]

@@samparr9899 fair enough. Not questioning anyone's motive here. It was a great interview and an awesome story about his openness and generosity with you even before a big exit.

[@alwayzsmarter]

oh ya u shut down for a week to think about AI...i did a similar thing but was thinking about if a hotdog is also a hamburger. but pretty much same thing right

[@asdfmichaelmasters]

Awesome podcast! Sam….what predictions did he make when you met with him initially?

[@alwayzsmarter]

does the guy in the background get paid commissions for looking all business working while the boss goes on zoom

[@cjezinne]

“video” lol

[@trading-university.]

Excellent interview, this guy is very cool and super motivating

[@ArnoldPranks]

His doppelganger is sitting in the back.

[@Mikita1971]

Double Click was way ahead of its time.

[@simplyInvent]

this was awesome

[@commerceless]

I learned so much from this interview

[@lukakooo]

It's third time that I am watching this episod. Lets bring him back pleae

[@Clyde.artwork]

Can we get his "40 books" a year reading list???

[@CoverLetterPro]

Excellent episode. Kevin was really open.

[@haveyoureddittoday]

Love this

[@jzk2020]

Cool interview. Look at where things are going to be in 10 years time, be the chairman and put together great teams, solve problems.

[@PokChopTV]

Lol questions were flying over my mans head like baseballs at a batting cage 😂

[@nolapropertybuyer9732]

Great guest. This guy is really impressive.

[@jrgberlanga]

One of the best ones! Great talk from Kevin

[@fdf_fx]

I was looking for a Video and found this

[@A7Lopez]

Video? Nice title!

[@JohnMcAlpine]

9:04 would you explain this further. You raise $2M. Are you saying it makes sense to raise when in the next 18mths the company is worth more than $2M or $20M in your example?

[@itscesargil]

7:15 , that resonates with me very well

[@Bayerberg]

Yes, this is a video.

[@integrity411]

I am always listening to your podcast; You guys are so great, and I feel like I too always have ideas that come to my head naturally. I don't do research on ideas, they just come to me organically. I haven't acted on most of them, but I was wondering if there are people who pay for ideas or if there was a way to turn it into a business? I feel like this is a talent I have overlooked my entire life. I have so many ideas I have written over the years and never acted on them and boom, I find out someone did and they are successful... Are there people out there in need of someone like me? LOL

[@abellara9169]

WOW... Kevin Ryan dropping lots of golden nuggets 💪 Thanks for putting this video out guys 👍

[@KafkasKumpel]

300 Mio UV per FREAKING day with FREAKING 0 ad spend is insane.

[@dan7373]

Excellent guest guys. Maybe the best: experienced, recurrent success, perspective, articulate and measured.

[@TochStyle]

Interesting

[@alwayzsmarter]

I feel like this guy is secretly 200 years old and halfway through a reverse aging routine until hes 25 again

[@israelnkusi4578]

One of my favourite pods tbh, if I were to model my strategic business plan it’s him

[@Pabz09]

Kevin has a fascinating story, mindset, and investment methodology - true business-lore right here!👏🏾

[@MihaiLazarut]

Why "How to avoid 1M podcast #477" is not in the My first million podcasts list?

[@mikooada5435]

zuk cooke,,,,,,,hiiiii haaaaaaaaaa

[@alatona26]

The only problem with this episode is that it wasn’t 3x longer. Great pod!

[@GeorgeRodriguez72]

3 - Sam, the Cultural Tutor says you shouldn't read a book published within the last 50 years. If that is the case we would not have read Nick Bilton's American Kingpin. Am I right? For this episode lets go with Ben Smith's Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion-Dollar Race to Go Viral.

[@nyustdent]

really cool dude. very cool. starting to see a trend with the anti-social media types

[@BitcoinOnlyCentral]

Quality on this is crazy. Gonna listen to this one a couple of times. Can’t believe it’s free

Loved this website
