Our buddy sold his app for $200M in just 6 weeks?!

[@munjikahalah]

The raw story telling and being honest about his experience is ELITE. Most guests sometimes hide so many key points, but Dan does an amazing job at keeping it real.

[@eugeniocg3079]

Biggest takeaways: - The most powerful people are the ones that know how to give up power - The more you can simplify it, the more it's available for everyone will resonate - Lean more into the authentic rather than the learned

[@TheRideStartsNow]

Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one. Great episode fellas!

[@tubopedia]

This was incredible, best episode yet. I am still quite confused how they had 2 million users averaging 4 hrs of engagement on the original game of the company and couldn't monetize that.

[@dworsham4540]

Sold his TicketWeb company in 2000 for $40 million, but he says in this interview that he was "just doing ok" (paraphrasing) while building Draw Something

[@nyustdent]

this guy is so awesome. actually re-hired people back so they can make money from the zynga deal

[@pogmax]

Here is the idea for MFM - bring several MFM guests at one place at the same time to share their success & failure stories for founders. 3 weeks ago I organized the Fund of Funds & Family Office Online Conference with 3200 regs & 1000+ people on Zoom. Like the idea with MFM guests, Shaan & Sam on Zoom? Thumb up. Let me organize it.

[@garypick]

The idea of a value-tracker should be incorporated into every app to remind people of the value they are getting. Best idea I've heard all day.

[@Muhluri]

1:01:38 this is the best lesson for me. Thanks guys! 1:02:49 don't sell the product, sell the dream outcome

[@DrumAdrian16]

Yes, i know this lesson from the quote: "Don't sell the steak, Sell the Sizzle"

[@scottparsons9420]

I’m glad you guys couldn’t get him on until now. The production quality, the seasoned approach and the chemistry between you and Sam may have hit a peek here. Phenomenal episode #NoSmallBoyStuff

[@jb_kc__]

love this guy. genuine passion and zest for life that you don't often see

[@PankajDoharey]

how did i miss this, brilliant episode.

[@dev_alade]

Shaan rocking the buildspace hoodie ❤❤❤

[@csrocker11]

Dan porter is my new favourite person

[@IndresMTripathi]

wow what an episode, Dan is awesome!

[@karolpelc3956]

Dan, this were amazing insights 💎Many, many thanks for sharing!!

[@TGP_AUS]

17' in and i still dont know the game he made? did i skip a bit?

[@MayorSom]

DrawSomething. You get a word and are asked to draw the object. The other person has to get guess. You take turns. It was a great game. In fact, it was my fav post nut clarity ritual

[@michaelslifecycle]

Yea same here. They just keep saying “the game” and “everyone played it” but never actually mentioned the name lol

[@jb_kc__]

Draw Something, it was an iphone app. if you were a teenager / young adult in 2012 it was impossible to escape, went massively viral

[@michaelslifecycle]

@@jb_kc__ I was a young in 2012 and never heard of it

[@MichaelTimmons1991]

Really appreciated what he did for his employees during the sale.

[@derekwhite9338]

Definitely one of my favourites of all time! Really inspirational.

[@SoundCanvas475]

Tryna have the charisma of Shaan and the determination of Sam 😈 On my path to my first million!

[@justkeeplearningpodcast]

Man, 36:00 the most powerful people know how to give it up. Reminds me of how the best thing you can do is be the most savage person alive and then learn to control it.

[@NotyouraverageYTwatcher]

We're gonna do that with Blue Book Of Gun Values. Maybe not $200m, but def close. It'll be the Kelley Blue Book of Firearms

[@stealthoverflow]

Lol wth is that ?

[@NotyouraverageYTwatcher]

@@seattlerain101 yea we're developing scanning tech for the app to be able to ID the gun and it'll give us the info/valuation in real time.

[@ssseeessseeessseee]

gun prices instead of car prices

[@markdin2988]

What's the business model tho Also what's the TAM for guns like that? Highly regulated depending on the state and not easy to buy. I guess

[@NotyouraverageYTwatcher]

@@markdin2988 lower than cars bc of values, but higher in America than any other country. But guns are regulated a lot like cars, except for specific jurisdications. I think it's better to be in the business of self defense/hunting now than the car market tho, especially in a culture trend perspective.

[@howtoactuallyinvest]

Draw Something was one of my fav games of all time

[@wick9462]

This was a blast. Very insightful. Thanks

[@nimrodsmusic]

This was exactly what i needed to hear today. Very inspirational

I’m excited for the day Sam teaches me the Hampton hand sign. 😁

[@mike.ying.personal]

one of the best episodes

[@_A1Anime]

you gotta bring back timestamps

[@nickostrom7451]

Yoo I'm literally building an AI drawing version of this game right now.

[@justkeeplearningpodcast]

I love this too. Just absolute common sense. That's it. Leading to great business decisions and connecting the dots in reverse ❤ 18:00

[@AMGF815]

SAM!!! 🤣😂🤣 @ 3:40 When the 3 of you are on screen, Sam up in the left corner starts snacking on a pen like a 5-year-old who stole his dad's pen. I hope you had a drink with that. Pens don't go down smoothly.

[@megham_]

Anyone knows why Shaan is wearing that BuildSpace hoodie?

[@jamestownsend8002]

Masterclass on many levels

[@itwasntme947]

awesome interview

[@brettblaster]

Great episode

[@DidierPeroni]

This guy has strong Jerry Seinfeld vibes.

[@jimmyfrost2091]

Enjoyed this a lot.

[@jessecarroll9554]

Another great episode

[@kyanstack]

Jerry Seinfeld is so prolific

[@NicholasFerdinand-it4lv]

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

[@jackwilliamburgess]

What a legend

[@justkeeplearningpodcast]

It's not about recognizing Di*ks in your game it's bout something bigger. Great point. 20:47

[@alwayzsmarter]

Jerry Seinfeld was great on this episode
