Man I swear it feels like a documentary every time I watch one of your videos

[@marcusmilione1]

Massive compliment - can thank Sam for that

[@erwnalejo]

This series deserves to be a Netflix documentary fr!

[@marcusmilione1]

someone tell Netflix to hit our line

[@griffduncan]

You know it's gonna be a good Friday when a minted video drops

[@marcusmilione1]

every 2 weeks like clockwork

[@kuyamathu2860]

production quality on minted videos and products continues to increase each time i see them its amazing to watch your guys' brand grow like this

[@marcusmilione1]

really means a lot - a big push for constant improvement, always

[@Riccardo.Fragale]

After watching every video during this two week finally new vid is out. Super inspirational and motivating. Started running 2yrs ago thanks to Marcus. Can’t be more happier to see this two creating their story and their succes. The moment the dealer says 45,5 (Shawn stares the dealer, looks down at chains and then stares the dealer again) the dealer 45.5, and Shawn with a smile 46 it’s🤌 *chefs kiss*

[@marcusmilione1]

Appreciate you Riccardo

[@ethan_ryan]

Objectively the best video yet. Great storytelling. Ending the negotiation scene at the end before giving an answer, cutting to, without the box of chains. Legitimately great stuff.

[@marcusmilione1]

Really appreciate this - it's nice to trust Sam and his ability to craft a story

[@Bshelby88008]

Marcus, I’ve been following you since early 2021, you’ve been a great inspiration for me. You gave me some gym advice on insta lol. Please don’t stop doing everything you do.

[@bonjocoffee]

Thanks for bringing this type of content back to life dude.. reminds me of when people actually put effort into making dope KZbin videos back in like the early 2010s

[@andyguerrero7254]

Editor killed it once again with this video. Behind the scenes shows how its not all lights and glamour creating a brand. Big s/o from Chicago, keep it up!

[@marcusmilione1]

Much love! Appreciate the kind words here

[@samrichardson6609]

Ending scene with the haggling is epic...out of the italian job cool. These guys are phenomenal story tellers.

[@marcusmilione1]

thats all the work of Sam Snowden

[@aidansimonian]

Loved how raw this was, especially at the end with the price negotiation. Amazing work🙌

[@marcusmilione1]

Cheers!

[@seanwilcoxson]

That intro was straight oceans 11 so hype

[@marcusmilione1]

I like this comparison

Much love - thank you

[@navi190]

This has been one of you best vlogs/documentaries I have ever seen so far.. Entrepreneurial spirit, running and some Taxi Driver vibe at the end. Sh!t got real!!! Congratulations on the quest Minted. Hope to see toy soon in Toronto.

[@643studios]

I love this channel and the brand you guys are building (I hope to work with you in the future if you need a graphic designer or photographer!) and your content was already good before Sam came along, but the storytelling aspect he adds is just beautiful. I can't wait to see more of everything you guys put out!

[@marcusmilione1]

Much love - always looking for graphic work. You can send over your portfolio to [e-mail] anytime!

These are outstanding and give me the scoop on the Millione gents that I need when I don’t get to see them in person as often as I’d like ❤

But late to the video but the start and finish of negotiations reminded me of the movie uncut gems. Crazy video production!

[@marcusmilione1]

Huge compliment for Sam - ill pass it along

[@brebnerrenovations432]

Loved exploring the back story and the humble beginnings of the brand. The honesty was great. Are you moving to a big penthouse now? Being from Manchester I'm always mesmerised by the NYC context within your videos. Looking forward to the next one!

[@marcusmilione1]

Lol - no penthouse. Somewhere with a different energy, more creative energy. Space to work

Much love Rob - thank you!

[@highfades2594]

one of your best yet. question, do you think at the size Minted is at today, could you run it from one of those creative lofts/spaces that Casey N and those guy work from? Or do you think you need more of a warehouse. thanks

[@marcusmilione1]

I dont know if you are referring to office space, warehouse space, or both but as it currently is... We have a seperate warehouse that is around 4,500 sq ft (in New Jersey not NYC) Right now we need more office space and room to grow so technically a loft type space like Casey's would work for something like that

[@TheDrgibbs]

It’s seem like a long time ago when I first recognized you guys in CP

[@marcusmilione1]

4 years now?

@@marcusmilione1 during the pandemic!!!.......I really do enjoy watching (and participating ) in the growth of Minted and the way you have taken to running....maybe i can get into the triathlon world one day!!
