Have to stop 1/3 through this to say w o w ... Thank you Sam, thank you Shaan. No gurus here, just straight killers from the trenches. And you guys ask pragmatic questions that give actionable answers instead of just making a fluffy interview. Please don't ever change.

[@shaanpuri5111]

thanks brotha

[@cledwynfernandes9493]

@@shaanpuri5111amazing content ❤ what is that 4th side hustle he talks about? Please

[@ronittiwary9215]

one of the best guests so far! ya'll should go more into keyword research and how to find the supply gaps you were talking about

[@RadleyBTV]

Have you found any insight into this question over the past year?

[@Limitless_One]

I concur with Sean that this was one of those episodes tailor-made for this audience or maybe just myself. I can wrap my mind around a 2-5 million dollar a year lifestyle business but anything beyond that I can't really see or believe that I'll be able to touch, nor do I want to operate a venture scale business. I loved the Frameworks and the business ideas in this episode this is what we need more of!!!

[@MayorSom]

For me, anything less than $100m just doesn't cut it. There are so many things I want to do in the world and my hobbies are very financially intense. $100m is truly FU money

[@gidd]

@@MayorSom Your hobbies require 100m to do? tf is your hobby , purchasing an overpriced LA home every week?

[@kam8916]

$5 million profit a year ($30 million revenue) is easy with DTC just need lots of distribution of content. You can make $100 million by buying equity from dtc brands or startups
