    Love it
    I’m a female attorney and small business owner and I wish I would’ve had this podcast when I was in college and still trying to figure out what to do. I love how many different ideas are thrown in on how to be successful. Love the banter and the random history lessons thrown in between. I think the theme that continues to be apparent no matter the founder or amount of money they have is they all wish to live a more normal life with family which is a great reminder you don’t need a million to be rich. I’m constantly sharing episodes to my husband or my employees.

    Love this podcast!
    I got into entrepreneurship a bit late in life and have found the stories told through the interviews on this podcast truly inspiring and educational! I can’t get enough of this podcast and can’t wait for the release of each episode. Great job Sam and Shaan!

    Hard to take serious
    Lost me when you called Elon the greatest entrepreneur of all time. Hard to square anything you say.

    In the Weeds with the Richest People
    I’m one of their self-professed “tens of women” followers. I like that they take as much time as it takes to go deeper with their interviewees rather than regurgitating the same tired questions everyone else asks. And they try to remember to bring the conversation back to how the interviewee actually made their first break, a la the title of their podcast. They’re in the thick of it, spending time with the highest earners and giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what rich life really looks like for these people and how they got and stay there. As to be expected from any of the finance bro pods, they almost exclusively interview men and would never deign to touch on the topic of lifting women up or acknowledging the role their spouses play in making both family and rich life possible. But there are great feminist finance pods out there for us women working to leg up. It’s just not these guys’ audience. One star off for the compulsive Musk fan-boying. Don’t be afraid to stay true to your roots, boys, and fly that geeky, compassionate flag proud on occasion.

    “I didn’t even vote”??
    Your DOGE comments are absurd.

    Big MAGA energy
    I used to respect these guys and their POV. But they’ve hopped onto the Trump/Musk train and I’ve lost respect for them.

    Ignorance is bliss
    One of the hosts is just so clueless about basic facts, I had to stop listening. He seems blissfully unaware of socioeconomic data and very solid research on the dynamics of wealth and opportunity in the U.S., including some important experiments on venture capital. I am a scientist, and his fantasy worldview just continued to grate. I enjoy listening to the other host, including to his other podcast—but I have to wonder why he partners with this guy. There are better sources of inspiration and information.

    Longest 3d lol
    WELL I found myself continuously checking over these past 3 days, and super disappointed that I’m all caught up. Truly look forward to all the banter and genuine conversation in this podcast. Realized I hadn’t left a review on this medium and well here you go.BEST PODCAST. Just a a great listen with constant nuggets of gold. Highly recommended. #belatedgentlemaagreement

    EASILY THE BEST PODCAST
    I start every morning with this podcast and will relisten to episodes. Also-the hosts don’t realize it yet, but they’re already my best friends.
  • JordanHGill
    Love the banter & riffing that naturally happens!
    I really enjoy how both Shaan and Sam allow for the breathing room of conversation. It truly shows how great of podcast hosts they are. Whether it’s with a guest or not, they don’t feel like they have to stick to a strict expectation of the show. Keep it up y’all! Appreciate the episodes & look forward every week. You’re one of the few I listen to on a weekly basis.
  • CyclingJames
    Good podcast - sometimes a little slow
    Good thought provoking ideas and topics - sometimes a little long winded with side stories and some off topic Items… but I like what they review and cover regarding guests, other companies and potential ideas.
  • CancerousAppReviewer
    Alex Hormozi?
    The fact that you guys had the grifter Alex Hormozi on the pod really disappointed me. Do next week’s guests include Tai Lopez and Grant Cardone? This dude has spent years meticulously crafting how to most convincingly sound like he knows what he’s talking about, but still squirms and refuses to answer the most basic of questions when pressed. You guys didn’t throw him any curveballs and he still wouldn’t say anything of substance the entire episode. Shameful display guys
  • geol9
    Way too many ads
    I enjoy the show but the number of ads has gotten absurd. 4 midrolls in a 23 minute episode, get outta here.
  • Puka Luke
    Chillen with the homies
    I feel like I’m in the room with some of my friends just kicking it. They prepare some awesome stories, go off on weird tangents and have a unique view on business. The guys are cool but not too cool for school. I have listened for years and enjoyed how the show continues to evolve. Some of the reviews in here are absolutely wild! Sure, the show is not for everyone but I feel it is 💯% worth giving a try. I learn something after each listen. No small boy stuff here!
  • Abigail.94
    Where is it going?
    I gave the guys a try. I couldn’t make it a full episode without losing interest. It’s just not for me.
  • Runningtowardsfreedom
    Great content
    Love these dudes and their banter! They get into topics of business that are next level! Most importantly, they just have fun with the content. Can’t thank them enough
  • Marsbars401
    Immediate listen
    I don’t think I’m the pod’s typical listener (41 F), but I always listen to the new episodes as soon as I see it pop up as available. I feel like I’m hanging out with my friends, laughing, odd tangents, and also inspiring stories. I did also really appreciate the recent episode where Sam shared about being sober. I’ve been sober 10 years myself, and it’s always nice to have other examples of people thriving and sharing something potentially vulnerable. Thanks guys!

    3 Things You Need…
    …To Outperform 99% of the Competition. Apparently that includes over 26 minutes of just hyping up the UFC. I don’t mind the odd tangent but maybe make the episode about the actual subject matter. Use the UFC as an example if you want but quit wasting my time with literal drivel. Crusty silicone valley tech bro energy fr.

    Used to be good business stuff, now it’s mostly “HERE’S HOW THIS GARDENER BECAME A MILLIONAIRE IN 3 WEEKS”

    Have been listening for 3 years to this pod!
    …and I haven’t missed a single episode. Every episode has so much knowledge, insights and inspiration. But the best part: the entertainment factor! Shaan and Sam are hilarious :D
  • Lindenin
    I don’t trust them
    Some episodes are entertaining, but I find myself not trusting the hosts. I feel like I’m constantly being sold to. Ad upon ad, plus these guys constantly seem to to be pushing companies they have a stake in or companies run by their buddies, who all,scratch each others backs. I just don’t really trust them. Not listening much anymore as a result
  • Jdaeedy

    This podcast has changed my life and the way I see the world and what is possible
    I couldn’t be more thankful to Sam and Shaan for making me laugh every week, for showing me a world that is full of possibilities and for inspiring me to take on new risks and build new things. I’m about to launch a side hustle I’ve been wanting to launch for years thanks to them! So thank you!!!!❤️

    Mullet of Podcasts 😂😂
    You can thank the guy who called this podcast the mullet of podcasts for this review!! I had to leave a review to 2nd that accurate description!! I’ve been listening for about 6 months and this is has become my favorite business podcast - the only one I can seriously listen to these days. Shaan and Sam have a great dynamic and make it feel like a conversation amongst friends, but episodes are filled with great business advice and useful takeaways.
  • JabsterL
    Love this Pod!
    MFM is the bomb🔥, as a doc entrepeneur I absolutely love it and I’m pretty sure while my wife and 4 and 5 year olds are getting a little sick of always hearing these guys on in the background, wife even a little mad when the cursing happens, this pod is so helpful and entertaining to me (and in turn their lifestyle) 😇
  • Millitzer
    Business in the front, party in the back
    This is the mullet of podcasts. Sure, you want to learn more about business. How do you make your first million? These guys must know something, right? Oh yes they do. Oodles of information about business comes peppered in with jokes, wit, and self reflection. I’ve been listening for over a year and it is interesting to learn how deep the content the two hosts have to share. You may come looking to make a fortune but each episode leaves you entertained and enlightened. It is a party that I attend as often as possible and it has led to better habits in my personal and professional life. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

    Best Business Podcast!
    I had a friend introduce this podcast to me 6 months ago or so. It has been the most amazing podcast for entrepreneurs. Shaan and Sam are funny and engaging in their episodes. It’s so good I wish they did episodes every single day. They get my business brain working and it helps me generate new ideas for the future. Warning: This podcast is addicting!
