From College Dropout To 40 Million Dollars At Age 23

[@Drackomass]

The best episodes are when Sam is resting his head on his hand and looking dreamily at the guest, his gaze is completely fixed on every word.

[@moneywisebyhampton]

LOL. You've got me dialed in. I have a problem with dreamy staring. I'm thanking the youtube editors don't show it all.

[@ARYUSops]

Lol😂

[@PhilippDurrer]

Could also be the side effects of the Snus he's using ;)

[@JackDuffley]

I was in high school speech class with Sam and I remember when he talked to us about his snow plow business. Wild to see how far he's gone [already]!

[@jimhendericks]

The dude is a natural born entrepreneur.

[@arfriedman4577]

That's rad awesome cool.

[@ArieS1]

Loved this one y'all This guy is smart.

[@MaxwelKane]

I don’t comment often, but this fits the Mfm brand so well. Great guest

[@funsark]

The best way to start the new years!! A blue collar MFM episode!🎉🎉

[@krisb-travel]

I love the blue collar ones

[@metal_mo]

I listened to this on my phone when driving... had to come here and say this episode was great! Sam's story is fascinating.

[@andrewpoli]

The boat story was amazing! And this guy's due diligence level is mind-blowing 🤯

[@tryunetech]

The amount of business knowledge nuggets that this man has dropped in this podcast is incredibly valuable. Take a look at around 52:00 and see the focused attention the hosts gave during this time. Love guests like this.

[@antoniocollins]

Best guest in a while. Dude is fascinating

[@robertmariano]

I Listened to this in the morning. Best of the year so far. The Boat story is great!

[@aashish_passi]

Amazing guest with incredible stories, I think he almost goes one-up on shaan with his story telling skills. You guys are the best, keep it up.

[@romankenric]

This dude seems kinda sketch. I haven’t finished the pod yet, but my 🚨 is dinging. Answer to what I did with the $40M: “I have it” Like, you sill have the “$40M” you got about 4 years ago. Bull. Idk tho

[@neilrissman]

Also added that he raised capital. I’m sure they wanted a return, so he didn’t get the full 40. Sounded a bit sketchy.

[@bulhar]

One of the best episodes in a long time, I love the way this guy thinks

[@harrisonchahal3475]

This is one of those episodes which you want to listen to over and over again. Sam Rattner’s way of processing info and the way he thinks is amazing.

[@ryanbuchan2253]

One of my favourite episodes so far. Sign me up for the SP Fellowship, you don’t need to worry about the flyers

[@jeremyderrt6862]

This guy definitely crossed paths with Byrde’s family

[@cheapsolarpower]

Sam Rattner gives me early Bezos energy. He is going to do very well.

[@sutats]

Always hugely fascinating to hear stories of early age entrepreneurship. Running a snow plough business at 16. Why?

[@crbradbury8282]

Cause he could.

[@westunit777]

why kids do lemonade stand?

[@thawseefjaleel9871]

Hands down one of the best episodes. This guy makes me want to do due diligence on everything. 😄🙌

[@JuliaHolly]

Focus. And loved how he started w/ cc which is relatable.

[@alatona26]

Long story short, that was a great ep!

[@alwayzsmarter]

This guy was entertaining. My storytelling is like "I went to buy a boat" meanwhile he's describing the curtains on the walls for 10 mins (im exaggerating) and i enjoy every part

[@MagnumEDU]

I love the guest. Refreshing take. He’s like Shan’s long lost genius little big brother.

[@rhodamanford8618]

Absolutely enjoyed this episode

[@philipj.sherman2987]

Lewiston, Idaho has 34 thousand people. There are grocery stores and there's a Dollar General. One of just 2 in Idaho, at this time.

[@darrynvanrooyen2629]

No matter what he ends up achieving, having sold a business that had not yet even scaled before 25 for 40 bar is winning!

[@caseyvallett8953]

I am hooked on all these! Such awesome information each time and entertaining!🎉🎉

[@richhands5269]

My three favorite channels: My First Million, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@ZachKirk-lg9nr]

Happy New Year!

[@007DFWAngel]

One of your best so far guys!!❤

[@wenslo8514]

Sam Rattner is incredibly intelligent and self aware. Where can I find find? And what form of media he read or listen to?

[@inventorj]

The riverboat story is awesome - reminds me of Palmer Luckey's Australian military boats

[@samihsghier1709]

maybe i'm wrong but i don't trust this guy for some reason. cap radar is beeping ...

[@Lewis502]

What a gem, this dude is super interesting/smart and undoubtedly will hit it out the park.

[@David-ks6bw]

Sam's random one liners are the funniest thing. Great episode!

[@mjf5049]

Incredible boat story!

[@chasingwaterfalls648]

Bring it to Nashville, sounds awesome

[@D3RAIL]

Love this episode! 😁

[@BurningQuestionLLC]

GREAT guest!

[@tomascardenasg]

One of the best pods

[@LebenVolleBreitseite]

he is a freakin' machine! love it!!!

[@Alex_Cevi]

This was a super solid episode

[@ArneAsada69]

Man, if I sold a business for $40mil in my twenties, you’d find me retired lounging around in sweatpants all day everyday. This dude has a drive to find his next business quest.

[@CoIdestMoments]

yeah for like 6 months then you would be bored to death and back to doing something

[@A7Lopez]

The goal is to not work but work for something you like doing.

[@ZubairPenang]

Did we see Sam casually throw in a zynnaccino at 47:41 lol

[@fabiantorres203]

There’s more to this guy than what’s on this podcast. His story doesn’t start with him plowing snow. There’s gotta be more to his family history. He skips over the details regarding the software development. To have the mind and earn 50k over a season at 15-16 is not some throw away note. Also, he’s well read, I’m sure… I hung on to his every word on his riverboat story. We need deeper dive into what made this guy tick, click, snap, crackle and pop.

[@jessdrewthis]

Happy New Year, gentlemen 🤝

[@nareshmeetei]

This pod will inspire a lot of kids to dropout.

[@CryptoGrit]

Love the episode :) happy new year ^^

[@laplapjoel]

Happy New Year everyone!

I liked the thumbnail! Success leaves clues. That is most people watch those videos.

[@ShaunLetang]

When was this recorded? Talking about there not being Uber Boats, and Uber boats should come by 2020. Not sure about in the States, but in the UK they've had Uber Boats for a while.

[@funkymonkey7202]

Not avaliable in the states at all but yeah idk where 2020 came from maybe 2030 and they just said it wrong

[@AlexMese]

The bestest episode.

[@jonah_roberts]

Way to go, Rattner!! There is a unique world and economy in everything- even duck calls. 😉

[@Pbd5069]

You can tell this guy is just adding a lot of cheese across all his stories and he has been rehearsing his storylines for years in preparation to get on the pod

[@Sh0n0]

How so? He’s crazy eloquent, clearly someone who talks a lot

[@victorv7356]

double edged sword. one man's eloquence is another man's boosterism. It's like when the marketing site is a little _too_ slick

[@MayorSom]

-WP Engine- WP Begginer (talk with Syed Balkhi) and A. Wilkinson are still the two only insightful and inspiring guests so far. HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'all!

[@AlaskaJiuJitsu]

The only? Please elaborate 😊

[@oldschoolpanels]

Wait ...had Jason Cohen been on MFM?

[@andrewpoli]

Jason has never even been on the pod tho

[@moneywisebyhampton]

Jason's a bud of mine, we'll have him on@@oldschoolpanels

[@MayorSom]

@@oldschoolpanels I beg your pardon; I meant to say WP Beginner (Episode 486) founder Syed Balkhi.

[@Ryan.G.Spalding]

Shady Gator’s is Shady! Somehow burned down and got built back bigger twice in like 5 years. Sent my buddy the info on water taxi’s, consider it done! He is already in that domain.

[@Ryan.G.Spalding]

#boatplanet

[@igobyplane]

oh fun, just a few minutes in and i hear vernon hills, mundelein... i lived in grayslake 20 years bro 💪 fun pod already

[@j.t.h1999]

Do we believe this guy?

[@romankenric]

Right!!! Just what I was thinking. Super sketch

[@AlaskaJiuJitsu]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@rockzuk20]

No. Does not feel genuine. Definitely large amounts left out of the story.

[@otim]

Probably mostly true, but feels like daddy's money/connections was conveniently left out of the conversation

[@BigBrother04]

Guys in tye comment saved me an hour. Seems like the guy is not 100% honest in the story 😂

[@BurningQuestionLLC]

Shaan, don't small boy Rattner with the "thanks for coming on, you're...fun." :)

It was a Great Episode

[@lukang72]

this guy is amazing!

[@PathtoWealthPodcast]

Sam's nonchalant Zyn endorsement 😂

[@gideon7177]

This was a good one

[@Finnious]

Memphis Tennessee podcast mention beautifully done

[@truemaroon]

What are those little 'thumbs up clouds' for?

[@JasonValasek37]

My front teeth are also at the bottom of the lake of the Ozarks with those GoPro’s. I’ll never forget that party trip 🙄

[@derek_underwood]

MFM 2024 LETTSS GOOOO!!!!💥🤑🔥

[@SusanKnightRN]

I want to know how Mom and Dad took to this drop out and his success.

[@whydiswhydat]

Can you please ask your guests about the parents, education, who paid for college, do they know how to code, if not how they did it? How much money they had for their first project, second project, etc?

[@chefbrian26]

This guy is awesome but 27yrs old? Building those businesses must of taken a toll he looks 40 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SusanKnightRN]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@donoskeys]

The value is in the duck calls.

[@xuereb2867]

It is so much easier in the USA to start a business....some things he said are impossible to do in Europe,.

[@janmotycka]

This episode was a banger 🦆☎️

[@MrArtist1971]

After listening to Rattner I realized I gotta shift gears.

[@cs2294]

Woah are they deleting negative comments now?

[@TheRealTiffany2.0]

this guy is awesome

[@markdin2988]

Didn't they already post this? I could've sworn I've seen this last year.

[@jaimeresendiz12]

Phenomenal way to start the start the year gentleman. One of my goals this year (believe it or not) is to watch ALL MFM episodes from very beginning at Ep 1. So be on the lookout for me sharing personal breakthroughs on each episode, @shaan & @sam. Happy New Year.

[@bruiserbuilt5986]

Did you upper decker that Zynbabwe Sam? lol

[@jordanvance1731]

Super dope

[@engineeredaf1920]

This guy needs to be the new Andrew Wilkinson please

[@letsdanceonhere]

Sam Rattner îs very interesting. Great podcast

[@hellokamusta]

He looks like a Shark. Great pod 🔥

[@Eugene_Liu304]

What's Sam ratner's twitter? More pods of him available?

[@Andrey-fq6sn]

Shaan, get TrustAnalytica CEO on the podcast

[@SuperKillaki]

Can’t believe he is only 27!

[@PepijnNiesten]

Great episode, and Sam is a fun dude to listen to. But why wasn't the question asked how he managed to code a whole online responsive mobile CASINO from SCRATCH?! How did he know the skills? Did he do it alone? If not, where did he find the programmers? How did they know how to build a CASINO? So many questions unanswered!

[@Jgarcia2320]

The jump to raising capital and yada yada regulators is confusing.

[@fabiantorres203]

Like this comment if you want this guy as a regular, the new Andrew Wilkinson.

[@sasmills]

6:00 6:51-7:10

[@eshawn____2373]

Is this Midwest Chamath?

[@LebenVolleBreitseite]

felt like Shaan didnt appreciate him as much as other super performer guests from the past... why the heck is that @Shaan? "Ty for coming on, you're fun..." srsly? that's it??? 😂

[@sherriebreese3524]

My take away was for once Shaan didn't monopolize the conversation and let the guest talk. Maybe he isn't feeling well today.

[@Pbd5069]

This was this neckbeards superbowl. He has been prepping every minute of all these embellished stories and begging for his chance to get on. Respect

[@submit1990]

Shane Gillis on MFM

[@CoconutPete]

Hey Sam you should buy Booches in Columbia... 🍔

[@shivamkaushik7589]

Seems kinda sketch, as i have been following David Dobrik for years now, have heard all the podcasts and have heard the same Snow Plowing story from his perspective, and what ILya said about the snow plowing business was that 1. They used shovels, not machines like this guy is saying, 2. They used their friends from High School to plow these drive ways in Glendale, IL area 3. The max he made was $6000 as whole, which he split with his partner, which seems to be this dude 4. Ilya cut was approx $1500 after paying everyone which he blew all of it on LV purse for his then Girlfriend. so idk where all these machines and $60k came from, seems like inflated to seem more legit

[@eugeniocg3079]

🚀🚀🚀

[@SusanKnightRN]

Not only is he out for the strange opportunities but he is recycling the main objects of a business. Why haven’t anyone decided to start generic vending machines?

[@iworkforthem]

does Nikola Jokic really want to play basketball? probably not, it just pays the bills. would I do the same? yes! 😂

[@faisalislam9840]

Not 1st
