If I Had To Make $1 Billion... Here’s The Business I Would Start

[@PankajDoharey]

Sam is intense and smart, Shaan is chill and smart. entirely different kinds of balancing act.

[@apoozeo1715]

Latter is true fasho! I don't know about the former's latter, honestly!

[@tarekaz]

Yo Shaan, whatever you're doing health wise is clearly working. I haven't watched an episode on YT in a while and I noticed a big difference. Great job.

[@CamusAndCarrotJuice]

You all don't miss on these podcasts, one of the best consistently dropping valuable information. Thank you!

[@PankajDoharey]

I wish i had this Podcast to remain motivated 10 yrs ago. But this is quality education you just cant get anywhere else.

[@pizi9615]

Quite possibly the most banger episode you've put out. Love all of ur content keep it up!

[@lorentzodj]

I just wanted to drop a quick note to express how much I love your content! Every single episode is truly amazing, and I can see the dedication and hard work you guys put into each one. Keep up the fantastic work; it's truly appreciated. Dreaming big here - I hope that one day I'll have the incredible opportunity to be invited onto your show! Until then, I'll be eagerly watching and enjoying every single episode.

As we witness the current economic landscape, it's becoming increasingly clear that we're entering a recession. These times can pose significant financial challenges.

[@Jennapeters144]

Indeed, Recessions have a way of affecting people's financial stability and investment portfolios in profound ways.

[@simone_maya]

Speaking of financial stability, I've had the privilege of working closely with Monica Mary Strigle, a highly experienced financial advisor. Her expertise has been pivotal in helping me navigate the complexities of economic downturns.

[@AnkurYo]

That's intriguing, I've been on the lookout for a financial advisor who can provide sound guidance during these uncertain times. Could you elaborate on how Monica Mary Strigle has assisted you?

[@simone_maya]

Certainly, Monica Mary Strigle provided me with tailored financial strategies that not only protected my investments but also helped optimize them during periods of economic turbulence. Her insights were truly invaluable.

[@Jennapeters144]

It's heartening to hear about professionals like Monica Mary Strigle who can offer expert guidance when it's needed most. I've been contemplating the importance of finding a trusted advisor myself.

[@daustin14441]

Njoy your podcasts I’m just wondering how these biz ideas will flourish in an economy with no middle class. If The path to billions is getting rid of workers and using robotics, who is gonna buy what you are selling. Even tho u go B2B eventually most businesses eventually need b2c to last for the long haul. Who’s gonna buy pizzas and fix leaky roofs and hail driverless cars if there is no income for consumers?? How much can we grow off of Universal Basic Income?? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@daustin14441]

@@R7christiano only see links to the podcast or to products in the channel description. I appreciate you reaching out. Maybe you can address my question during a show. I’m not an economist so I’m outgunned from the start😂. However I do believe that average American feels very pessimistic about the future. They don’t see themselves as part of the picture. Big disruptions are projected ahead. Most of us will be roadkill?

[@JohnMcclaned]

Given the amount of times "Quiet Light" was mentioned, there is defs some back scratching going on behind the scenes.

Billion dollar idea: “Sam, what if I told you“ t shirts

[@Ryan.G.Spalding]

Fantastic episode. Y’all need to buy a College ASAP. Great ideas.

[@kevinconnelly5901]

shaan p for pres!

[@steelrides4462]

Great episode. Love the pod. You're finally talking about hardware! Don't fool yourselves into thinking hardware sells itself. Hardware people think the same about how easy it must be to build software products. I'm CEO of Root3 Labs, an engineering R&D consulting company in Baltimore, Maryland, and our workshop is basically as you described f.inc's lab, but with many more fabrication toys for our engineers to develop customer prototypes. When people need some nerds to help them figure out how to make something technically feasible, they call us. Open invitation to come by if you want to talk to people making hardware. Sam would probably like Baltimore, but does Shaan leave Silicon Valley?

[@neerajkrishna.r2852]

This was a cool pitch. The pod should take note.

[@neerajkrishna.r2852]

This was a cool pitch! The pod should take note.

[@sburkowski]

6:20 😂😂😂 haven't laughed that hard at a pod episode in a minute... amazing timing Sam! 👏

[@manas874]

Bro just described VIT, SRM, MIT and a few other! Guess India is ahead of the US on this one ;)

[@codyr2318]

I clicked on this because based on the cover I was afraid that the idea you’re talking about was my idea…. Fortunately it is not.

Y'all changed the thumbnail

Whoah. Either this was super prescient, or Elon watched this and moved fast. Only 6 days after this went up, Elon announces he is founding a University in Texas.

Great ideas. But how to get the down payment of $200k? SBA loans aren’t easy to get

[@calmocean962]

Hey Shaan Puri, wanted to say I've listened to all your videos for the last three months, and today I listened to another interview with Neal Mohan, and swear you sound like the big man!

[@kortyEdna825]

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

[@Pamela.jess.245]

Considering the increased complexity since the 2008 crash and COVID, I suggest diversifying your financial portfolio. I hired an advisor and successfully grew my portfolio by over $150K during this turbulent market using defensive strategies that protect and profit from market fluctuations.

[@Pamela.jess.245]

My Financial adviser is ‘’Julie Anne Hoover’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate

[@matanassulin]

Every time I listen to MFM, it makes me want to start 5 new businesses 🤦🏻‍♂️ can’t focus

[@keenheat3335]

pizza robot already existed, it's the reason why you can buy whole sale frozen meat and mushroom pizza for 1.79 each. Equivalent pizza at papa john would cost around 16 bucks and fewer amount of topping instead. Granted, these centralized pizza factory cost billion to setup and need to have millions in order volume just to keep the light on. But on a per unit pizza cost efficiency, it's difficult for smaller machine to overcome the cost advantage of large factory machine. But then it become an issue of sale and marketing, how can you market a frozen pizza well enough to charge the same price as regular hand made pizza. Even though it's objectively better if you do a double blind test. Your pizza chef essentially function more as a salesman rather than pizza maker, they are selling the illusion that hand made is better than machine made. I suppose you could pair the pizza with another high margin product like soft drink. Some thing like if you buy family value pack of soda, you get $20 value of pizza at no cost to you (only cost $2 in material). Then the pizza essentially become the ad for the soda. Which is extremely high margin.

[@BasketballBusinessAndBossMoves]

What a pleasant surprise!

[@felixnnoro8721]

Hey Guys My First Time. Glad to be here❤

I have a billion dollar idea, but no way to realize it. It is tech related.

Symbotic $SYM is killing it with warehouse automation

[@Agent77X]

$SYM has gain like 360% this year, even more than Nvidia stock and it PE is in the 400s!😂 NVidia PE is in the 30s!

[@striveg3525]

Can we get back to the more realistic hustles though? Just recently all these are more like My First Billion, love the ambition but sometimes I just miss the old stuff

[@RosaLei]

A million is not a lot anymore. Think 1000 million. I love that they're pushing the envelope!!! These ideas we will one day take for granted.

[@UTuber404]

My fav pod !!

[@joonkim202]

You don't need to reinvent the wheel or create dynamite. You just need to copy from other successful strategies and customize it for specific markets. This is also true for social and state policies and pretty much anything.

[@Pbd5069]

Shaan sold all his stock in 2022 because he didn’t want to get margin called and liquidated. That signalled the bottom of the market and it has mooned from that very day. shaan can you let us know next time you are going to consider buying stocks because that will be the market top and time for us to cash in and get short

[@Pbd5069]

Hello...can Overseas Businesses be Brokered over Quiet Light ...?

[@denisschonfelder4710]

After this episode I really want to buy an university soon 😂 first hire dean Puri

[@whiteknight7wayne493]

Yeah a small ton out of a big pie , can be painful if u allow yourself to agonize. Having a healthy attitude toward gain and loss is essential in any big buck game...in order to avoid frustrations. I remember percieving that Mr. Zucks apart from whatever drama actually went on, had pretty much protected himself from extreeme dilution (cant remember my detailed thoughts on it rn) and thats pretty important.

I maybe wrong, but if we had these robots than all companies are basically marketing companies. I think a better bet is human robot symphony

Is this episode just a long ad for QuietLight?

Did Shaan just pitch his school to Jess Mah lol

So, the "profit" from selling a business just pays you some of the salary you were not given during your startup phase. Bleh!

Regarding the QSBS idea for anyone who wants to start it…Maybe you dont have to be a lawyer and not an expert but I would have thought you have to be a CPA if this is really an atteststion in the sense of the AICPA

[@CryptoGrit]

Rebarding Robotics it's wierd that big retail stores are not utilizing them even more, when it comes to filling the shelves and things that could be easily automated

[@snorttroll4379]

what would a stocking robot look like?

[@CryptoGrit]

it could just be a conncted line where you would fill the products in the back and than it would switch to front :) or imagine advanced version, you have the AI that is sorting products immediately as they arrive and you have product recognition system that would just recognize which shelves are empty and than refill these ^^@@snorttroll4379

Here's how I would make a billion dollars: I would establish a leasing company that leases inventory to e-commerce companies. This way, e-commerce companies wouldn't have to tie up their capital in inventory, but instead, they could pay a monthly fee to have access to "their own" products. Hey, is there anyone out there who wants to hear this pitch?

[@snorttroll4379]

please elaborate. will it be like a buy option?

[@andersandersen5363]

@snorttroll4379 - It would be a lease back model. Just like when a company buy a new mashine for production, then they sell it back to a leasing company who then lease it back to them again. So it would require a lot of capital to do this, becuse you would own all of the products. For the eCommerce company, they would see this as dropshipping, but with the differene that they chose the products and have the products exclusive
