[@John]

[@Strikeitbig]

Thanks for coming on the show John! This was a great conversation 🙏

[@MetacardMoonBoy]

thank you for the comments and clarity on Metacard. Looking forward to more Equity details and the explosion of Bored Jerky on the scene

[@KailashGajra]

Really loved it John. Great vision.

[@011231000]

[@johnputts]

Hey, John, I'm in Canada. And I know happy dad isn't here yet. But I would love to get on board somehow with you guys.

[@jakepaul]

John is a good man.

[@444huntt]

A brilliant mind

[@arnoldpalmer4176]

What’s your ETH address? If you don’t have a metacard, you will soon 👀🐄

[@Strikeitbig]

[@jamie_uncensored]

100 John is and @jakepaul you're the man!

[@flying5145]

Now we need you to be a good man and body JJ already. I am sure you have his crying as your alarm and ringtone

[@miketyson]

Great interview

[@SaliimTheDream]

I love John shahidi

[@TheRideshareHub]

[@detroitbandit2990]

Respect to this guy John, he completely changed my view of not only him but the business side of this whole social media empire. There is so many things behind the scenes that plays a huge part in the success of all of this.

[@bojankocev]

John is a great example for patience, hustle and gratitude mixed in one! Could listen for days, great pod 📈

[@Strikeitbig]

Thanks man 🙏👌

[@kevvwarren]

You guys asked such great questions in this pod. I gained so much clarity. Thank you!

[@Strikeitbig]

Our pleasure!

[@ericevans6692]

One of the best interviews I’ve seen! Ty for this.

[@anthonyydream]

2 hours of straight Gold. Thank you for sharing John. I will use these tips to help me build my social media empire.

[@samson-n5i]

Great guest and love the insights. My only gripe is let the man finish his thoughts without interrupting. Sometimes there would be interruptions with another question, when he wasn't done talking about a specific thought.

[@prawdzikproperties]

I agree!!! It was hard to listen at times

[@John]

I didn’t feel that way

[@HighlandMotivation]

Had I not read your comment I probably wouldn’t have noticed, but agree completely

[@KeepCalmEden]

I noticed it, a few times

[@skateboarderaddict]

This pod is underrated

[@Strikeitbig]

Appreciate you 🙏 - Kye

[@tonybelken]

Everyone needs a John Shahidi behind them 💯

[@RashidT1]

This Episode is really like one of the best for business advices. From seeing a great business man's work ethics and how he does stuff, will really help the young people who do want to do these things. Him mentioning Reed (Mrbeast's manager) so much is also gonna get his popularity up and I hope people would want to learn from him too and this guy! Great one!

[@andrewdenham6159]

Best Pod I have listened to in a long time🙏🏻 thanks John and thank you boys

[@AllyLaws]

quality episode boys

[@Strikeitbig]

Thanks Ally! 👊

[@TrewLife]

I personally didn’t quite understand the rise of happy dad and why it’s so popular and didn’t see the nelk boys as business masterminds, thanks for showing us the guts and putting things into perspective.

[@Strikeitbig]

Glad you enjoyed the episode and found it useful! Hope to see you again 👊 Kye

[@bondom3755]

Nelk was a popular prank channel with a massive following. They launched merch when youtube demonitized them and then started Happy dad after

[@aaronsinclair7540]

35 million in one night just merch his dad was saying on the latest pod

[@aaronsinclair7540]

Remembr the beliebers justin made a cool billion on merch too

[@richhh7772]

I still don’t understand how he knew Bieber in 2013

[@Skipppp8705]

Tbh I was wanting to see Shahidi, I do enjoy his stories and how amazing this man is as an entrepreneur. Kudos.

[@TheFunkIsThis]

They nailed it with Happy Dad I started watching the Pod because of it.

14:35 life is long , keep relationships 28:45 shorts vs long term nice and slowly built up their audience and shit. People with 20 million followrs cant move products cuz they have no connection with their audience 31:45 you gotta put in the work. Bradlry Martin rawgear he eont give up and he can make it work you gotta put in the work in your product man 36:00 the journey of creating happydad 44:00 advice for creators 53:40 KZbin is oversaturated 1:11:40 creators shouldnt be just on one platform, cuz how you gonna make it? By making a product, how you get sales? By getting eyeballs.. thus being on every platform is the way to go business wise 1:16:00 podcast advice, if i wanna "make it" ill have to clip my videos up...😢 I think im just afraid of fame.. hamza put a bug in my ear 1:18:10 are you building something to sell or to stay around? Trying to sell will lead to being distracted and not being a good product. Focus on the business and a banger product, if someone might buy it take the call, but ur main focus should be on building a banger business 1:28:10 when ur prices are lower and you sell more you can get it out to more people 1:32:00 the fan clubs arent that good of. A business especially with nelks audience and i guess mine too. Its great for a self improvement channel but not necessarily for my channel 1:53:00 execution is key , and proper execution too. And then if needed, putting a bullet into your idea 2:00:00 how do you decide what idea to put all your effort into. "If you strike oil, keep drilling" if something is working U gotta keep shit and Prioritize the main thing. 1:15:00 U gotta find that one product that clicks and it's game over

I've been wondering when Happy Dad is coming to Canada

[@nyxerr]

For sure

[@kaliedodmead]

I don’t think having to many pod casts is a bad thing. Podcasts can be an hour or so long and people listen to them all day at work, working out ect. You need variety

[@Carloscarlos98256empowet]

[@jordenwoodsey01]

It would be interesting foy you guys to talk about the businesses and projects you are running alongside this podcast 👍 Also delving deeper into your business acronym and specifically what you guys have learnt from mark.

[@Strikeitbig]

Thanks for the feedback Jorden, I'll discuss this with Curtis & Tom to see what they think. I hope you enjoyed this episode bro 🙏 - Kye

[@jackboyd7398]

the success of Happy Dad comes down to Nelks influence tho. nobody cares about or purchases happy dad without that connection. far too much credit for the business side of things - he capitalized on a following like every other social media person. he just has LOYAL, easily influenced young fans who watch him drink; no shit, lets make a drink. only reason I say this is because of the comments about how valuable this is for young entrepreuners - it's really not and this isn't a blueprint for a successful business lol, if anything, shows you to be an influencer

[@matthewgriffy]

Will we ever see Sadia Khan on the podcast?

[@Strikeitbig]

🤞

[@harrypain]

what a goat

[@Strikeitbig]

Definitely

[@Alin_ho]

You know he knew some important people before he even started his business. Snoop dog does not do charity and not for selters water. Can someone please make something that does not involve food or social media? Something that makes our society better. When the economy comes down next year, i will make a bet that water in a bottle will take some big hits.

[@txterbug]

Old Trapper is the best beef jerky on earth (from the store). If you can beat them you got my money.

Yes, we are working on locking it in!

@John wow didn't think I would get a reply from the legend! Would sell like crazy over here. Should sort me with a box of happy dad, I'm dying to try it!!

[@jackhoward9101]

Quite a bit of unneccessary swearing from the annoying host, makes him sound thick. Guest didnt swear at all and was very eloquent and interesting.

[@Strikeitbig]

I actually agree with you Jack, when I watched this back I thought to myself why did I swear so much. I do often swear, but never this much. It's something I'll bear in mind for future episodes. I'm glad you was still able to enjoy the episode :) - Kye

[@jaredm5625]

It’s basically designed for college simps and something to drink. Let’s be honest.

[@tgreen3198]

Its sad how logan is so worshipped when its public knowledge of how much of a scam artist he ie. Definitely worse than SBF. Would love to see him dished out with a relative sentence to those other fraudsters, similar in crimes.

[@at-ow2sf]

how come when this guy got involved the scams got involved?

[@AdamGaffen]

Scams ?

[@udits6911]

Oh my I’ve never found bob annyoing, steiny annyoing but that guy with the sweater red hair is unbearable. Like actually he drags this podcast down, I’m actually being fr. I rarely get like annoyed with a person where I can’t stand it but his questions are legit like he’s stupid.

Ohh John to these internet kids your cool. But your a criminal. Just wait….. he robbed Kyle blind.

[@Augustalawncareofreddeer]

[@randomhero7100]

Everyone knows what steiny is doing. He is still a disingenuous, untalented individual where there are so many better people to fill that spot. Brad for instance.

[@ericgonzalez6419]

I think his trying to take all the credit -_-

He clearly gives a lot of credit to the other guys, it's the first thing he says. - Curtis

[@jtlynch6761]

Steve was not to smart w 69

[@jamesjackson5020]

Steve was probably banned, in my opinion, cause of the video where he went round with brad and was shouting 'legalize rape' on the streets.... He also said a bunch of sus shit about pedophilia in his YT videos.
