    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.
  • Jgill06
    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.
  • Performerspod
    Favorite podcast
    Informative and laugh out loud funny! I look forward to every episode 👍🏻
  • 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!
  • Calebpwood12
    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.
  • Meg2075
    Come on, Rosie the Riveter?!
    I’ve listened and enjoyed to this show for a long time. How has someone never heard of Rosie the Riveter? SMH.
  • 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!

    MFM Meetup San Francisco!! Lets Go!!
    Shaan & Sam and My First Million PodCast have rekindled my excitement for listening to PodCasts. Its the right balance on ingredients with business, tech and entertainment- i actually started implementing something i learned from the podcast (HeyGen) in one of my current businesses!! Shaan & Sam- if you are reading this, come to the SF MFM meetup!! I signed up to host and just need a little more light shined by you 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.

    Immediately unsubscribe
    In the search of more entrepreneurial type podcast, i added this one to the library, episode 583 the first 1 minute “I don’t believe in God” was a complete no go from me✌🏿
  • E. McC
    The best
    I listen to way too many podcasts and I’ve got to say this is one of the only ones that I regularly look forward to a new pod dropping⚡️ highly recommend

  • Ricardo.Th
    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
    One of the best
    Incredible, every episode is excellent. Always motivated at the end of each episode.
  • girlpower5678

    Entertaining Informative & Inspirational
    "My First Million" is an engaging podcast blending entertainment, insightful advice, and motivational stories. It makes complex business concepts accessible and inspiring for aspiring entrepreneurs or anyone interested in success stories. A must-listen for a dose of inspiration and practical guidance in the entrepreneurial journey. Highly recommended!

    MFM 💸
    I’m so grateful that I discovered this podcast. It’s become part of my weekly routine now. You two make a great duo and host. Plus I appreciate you bringing your personality and perspective to each of the topics that you speak about not to mention the extensive research that you do beforehand to prepare.

    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!!!!❤️
  • Adrian Chavez, PhD
    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.
  • Gemma 9
    Phenomenal
    Entertaining, educational, interesting, and funny. What more do you want?

  • Smith5285938217
    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!
  • crw1010

  • Hehshejwhe
    Love this Podcast!! They never run out of episodes!!
    I have been listening to this podcast for the last 8 months!! YouTube podcast with video makes it way better seeing the actual conversations! I would love to get a trucker hat with their signatures. Thank you!! Truly inspiring
  • Dobzfor3
    I learn something new every time I listen
    Hosts are even better than their A+ guest. Show is pure audio gold. Keep doin your thang, fellas!
  • Lilfletch
    One finger Banger type of show
    It is a typical yet somewhat fascinating show until they add their witty comments, made- up slang, and random info that put this show over the top. Keep up the slapstick fun! Go make us all money….
  • AbeMurray
    MFM Rocks! Best podcast ever!
    My high school kids and I have been listening to this podcast on our drives into school - I’m a techie turned VC, and love the fun and simplicity insight these people bring to the table. Plus - bonus bonus points - the latest episode features Kevin Ryan of AlleyCorp - the original venture studio builder! Rock on!!! :D
  • Santa Famous
    Listening to all the archive
    They asked me 101 times so I’m leaving a review. These guys have helped me plan and execute my idea at a very high level. Tactics and strategy. And laughs.
  • thatgrltanisha
    The gentle lady’s agreement?
    Love the pod! Getting to laugh and learn at the same time is priceless. I love that they make a possibly dry topic as entertaining as they do.
  • Breanimalstyle
    One of the ladies
    I’m obsessed with this pod🙌 at first I thought these guys were just some Bro’s and would have nothing to offer but some basic business ideas🤪. I have grown to love them both and think they are both gentlemen & super knowledgeable.I recommend this pod to every entrepreneur I know. I have learned so much and I’m constantly entertained, literally laughing out loud while working with my ear buds in. Thanks for the content, it’s awesome👍
  • Aep313
    Ableism derogatory comment
    I was a happy listener until someone called another an “autistic weirdo”. Absolutely ridiculous to use terms like that and so inconsiderate to allow it to be aired.
  • BerlinToKyiv
    Standing in the shadows of giants
    I have a podcast in the same niche as My First Million and My First Million is A MILLION times better than mine! For real. It’s a model of what business podcast excellence is and has given me so much value. I tell everybody this is the best business podcast out there. I’ve listened to every episode and am hyper grateful for this show. Shameless plug, my show is called “The Edward Show” and it’s only a shadow of what MFM is but I’m daily which is a differentiator.
  • Teach 'n Thrive
    Best pod duo ever
    I proudly count myself as 1 of MFM’s 4 female listeners — not just female but a grandma! As a teacher by day and side hustler by night this pod gives great insights into what the “cool kids” are doing. When I’m working on something hard I channel these boys and put on my big girl pants. Shaan’s storytelling and Sam’s infectious laugh are a killer combo. Thank you, guys; you’re truly unparalleled!
