  • Even things up a little

    I’ve been listening to MFM for a few years now and find the show really inspiring HOWEVER I’m starting to wonder why aren’t there any women on the show? For women listening (I’m sure there are a fair few) it would be great to listen to successful and inspiring female entrepreneurs who are crushing it - just to even things up a bit. Come on guys let’s get some female voices on the show! You might get the fifth star you never know!!

  • I’m one of your loyal female listeners

    Sam, thank you for what you said about checking your guests against the Epstein files. I’ve listened to your show for years now. I think you both have such valuable insights into entrepreneurship, business, adding meaningful talent to the world and growing wealth.

Initially, it sounded like you didn’t care about who was in the Epstein files… I know that can’t be true (... more

  • Episode “Steph Smith: This oportunity is totally overlooked” is from over a year ago

    Not sure when the original episode was posted, but I started listening to this and recognized it instantly from a podcast. They did a long time ago. If you’re gonna repost content, at least be upfront about it and not try to sneak it in or repackage it.
