  • 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. I was stopped in my tracks, though when Shaan chastised you, Sam for caring about the Epstein files and talking to “nobody’s”. 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.

Killer marketing secrets that always work (ft. Ogilvy Adman, Rory Sutherland)
Q: How do you translate ancient marketing wisdom into modern digital tactics?
By grounding modern tactics in timeless behavioral principles, then testing small details rigorously to see which nudges drive action, attention, and belief, while embracing the idea that perception often trumps pure functionality.
This guy made $80M in profit. Here's his next 3 stock picks
Q: How do you decide when to exit a trade?
Exit when the information asymmetry that justified the trade becomes widely recognized by others, or gradually as more investors surface and price that information; the timing isn't strictly tied to stock price, but to information parity and the broader validation of the narrative.

Q: What is the basic idea behind observational investing and how does it work in practice?
It's about watching for changes in culture and consumer behavior, then mapping those changes to companies that will benefit or be harmed, validating theses with on-the-ground data like store checks, social media chatter, and alternative data sources.
Howard Marks: how I make money while you worry about a market crash
Q: How do you approach investing during a crisis?
You act on a disciplined thesis built over years, leveraging crisis-tested funds and credibility, while recognizing uncertainty and staying prepared to deploy capital when the opportunity is compelling rather than waiting for perfect clarity.
3 weird businesses doing $10M, $20M, $30M
