This AI Startup Idea Has 500 Million Customers Waiting For It

[@swiftzy3653]

Mark my words: one day I will be on this podcast. I’m a junior in high school interning inside a startup VC. I’m learning loads and will one day create my own startup. Sam and Shann, I start my morning listening to you guys on my way to school. There is no better channel!!! Much love - Jaden

[@AbCd-jl9jq]

Where are you interning?

[@bstancel12]

That is the right attitude and mentality. Keep it up, stay focused and maintain self control in all aspects of your life and over time you will make it happen. Good job on having a goal that early in life and best of luck in making it happen!

[@bossgd100]

What is wrong with you 😂

Good luck bro!

[@leandrewdixon3521]

Wow! Soo cool to see! I worked under Jason in the early days of WP Engine. I will always treasure getting to learn from this man first hand. Absolutely brilliant dude and a great leader. Big love if you see this Jason!

[@asmartbear]

Hey! Great to hear from you as well! Hope all as well.

[@cheesetoochalk]

Listening to this Cohen guy is so refreshing. Finally an intellectual person that’s ethical but still a real ninja

[@alatona26]

That was the fastest 40 min ever! Great pod. Time flies when you’re learning and being entertained. Never miss an episode.

[@ericlamideas]

Every once in a while you guys have on a next level thinker. This guy is one of them. More like this guy.

[@BASKIN1318]

If anyone liked this episode, watch his talk about bootstrapping a business. Love Jason Cohen and his philosophy behind bootstrapping is worth following

[@adama9418]

Which one? He seems to have done so many

[@richhands5269]

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

[@VincentFulco]

Jason is the GOAT, listen to everything he pops up on. Kudos!

[@guitarzack]

The consistency of your upload schedule is incredible and inspiring!!! Been listening/watching for a couple months now and been telling my friends! I was a fan/subscriber prior to the 400k subs mark!!! Keep it going!!

Unlike YC, which just repeats "product-market fit" over and over again (which IS important), these guys have a constant stream of viable, original ideas, which are not so abstract, to the point of having no muscle.

[@BasicFolders]

15:19 So this guy uses social media for fun and a hobby- but remember, not only is he rich enough to be able to afford throwing away time on something silly that he finds fun, he's probably working with a different level of brain where he's also many times more productive than most of us (especially me) and can afford the time and distraction in a way that I can't. I personally think that if it's not used to keep your mind in the right motivated space, and for information (talks, podcasts, etc) that social media is a poison to success.

[@aliwardheere4378]

sam, you are really generous of your compliments of the way Shaan thinks of certain things some times. By the way i love Shaan's take on ideas and the way he paraphrases every idea to make it sound more appealing.

[@Anonmusforareason]

@ 35 mins is where the gold is at It’s double their leads relative to what they are paying someone else currently Once you acquire a customer and it matures how do you keep providing value to keep them around? Just have a better product and customer support relative to competitors?

[@steiz]

Some time ago I wanted to recommend you an amazing person to invite. Today I see you interviewing him: the one and only Jason Cohen! 🤩

[@alwayzsmarter]

I felt like this was cut shorter than ideal. Tho maybe the pace was slower and ideal wouldve been letting him go 2 hours and trimming it down

[@leadgenjay]

The brainstorming session on unicorn startup ideas was super insightful. A key tactic for entrepreneurs is to validate ideas quickly by using micro-tests in the market, which can save time and resources before going all-in. Remember, data beats opinions when it comes to scaling a viable business.

[@TheDiceroni]

This was too good not to be longer

[@rosszeiger]

Love the “don’t deny that you got in it for money.” There’s too many taboos and euphemisms around money in our culture. It’s refreshing to be transparent like that.

[@mehtasdeepak]

Great pod, love Jason and his wisdom around start up. His approach seems very systematic

[@chan90s]

Prezi was super popular back in 2014. Everyone in my college were using it.

Big fan of Jason's blog!

Anyone else notice how Sams wardrobe has slipped into full DAD mode since having his daughter? 🤣

You guys need to turn up the thermostats in your rooms! Looks like 55-60F with all those sweaters lol

Where was the bit about 500m users??

[@DavieHennessy]

I did not here the 500m users either but I was working in the background! Might have been clickbait title!

[@AdamOakleyportland]

Wish this one went longer. Felt like Sam was in a hurry to wrap it up. It would have been great to hear Cohen riff on more ideas. Bring him back for another round.

[@JonathanDrake]

the fastest 30 minute podcast (10 more of ads). Why not go for an hour plus when you have someone like Jason on? Seems like you have a hard limit on time.

[@willl5970]

Awesome. Love Jason Cohen!

Never heard of Jason Cohen, but we are ALL IN!!! Been using WP engine for years! My entrepreneurship group followed him on social and did more research on him and his companies.

The hubspot ads are so annoying every time 😮

This edit is bizarre. Super jarring, and terrible continuity. Feels rearranged and heavily reduced. Normally MFM is relatively linear so I found this unexpected.

Sure thing. The idea: invest in your knowledge and listen to others who have succeeded at what you wish to do.

BS! I'm blocking this channel!

[@manavgx]

Hey Team MFM, I've been a regular listener for the past three years and have some thoughts to share with you: - Consider extending the length of your interviews. The current format of a 1-hour episode, where the guest speaks for only about 15 minutes amidst 3-4 ad breaks, feels too constrained. Tim Ferriss’s podcast is a great example of embracing diverse topics and discussions. I believe MFM could successfully release 2-hour episodes, especially with unique guests who rarely appear elsewhere. - The scriptwriting for Hubspot's advertisements could use some improvement. The heavy use of technical jargon tends to lose my attention, and it sounds like it's not enjoyable for you to present them either. - The intro music and animation for MFM could be enhanced. Striving for something even more engaging than what the "All In" podcast offers would set a fantastic tone for each episode. - It would be refreshing to see a reduction in the number of guests promoting their books. - Featuring international entrepreneurs could bring a wealth of new and interesting perspectives to the show. - Setting a target to reach one million subscribers by 2024 and reflecting this goal in your channel banner might be ambitious, but achievable with the right strategy. This could include producing engaging shorts and clips that align with current editing trends, which seems to be an area for improvement based on your recent outputs. - Shaan should consider providing the writing course for free, it could generate an immense amount of goodwill, mirroring the impact of Hormozi’s approach. I'm rooting for you guys to hit a million subs this year, Thanks for all the great content so far!
