  • Freedom Favors the Prepared

    Instead of selling a dream, this episode walks listeners through a system. The focus on structure, support, and repeatability reframes financial freedom as something you build deliberately, not chase emotionally. Clear, honest, and quietly empowering, exactly the kind of conversation that helps people make better long-term decisions.

  • Always oversimplifying topics

    My First Million consistently gives off strong snake-oil vibes by dramatically underestimating the amount of real work required to build and operate actual businesses, especially in their recent conversations about franchising. As a multi-unit franchise operator myself, it’s honestly painful to listen to them casually suggest that you can just “buy 30–50 units,” hire a couple of people, and magically collect $10M a year in mostly passive cash flow. That’s not how franchising—or any operator-led ... more

  • Full of inspirational action

    This show isn’t just “inspirational” in the typical motivational sense. The title alone already pushes you toward action and high agency. What really sets My First Million apart is how practical and mindset-shifting it is—every episode makes you think differently about opportunities, leverage, and execution.

    On top of that, the humor and chemistry between Sean and Sam are incredible. It’s effortless, contagious, and makes complex ideas feel approachable and fun. You don’t just finish an episode... more

  • Wisdom Is Compounded Experience

    This distilled 25-year perspective is exactly what many miss: progress isn’t about flashes of genius, it’s about accumulated insight applied consistently over time. When you take wisdom learned the hard way and make it accessible in a short format, you don’t just teach, you elevate how people think about their work and their growth. Thank you for this conversation.

  • Just two bros who add no value

    Title says all. I liked it at first but realized quickly that don’t actually have any useful advice. Not even sure what they did to become successful other than this podcast. Seems like their previous “exits” weren’t that lucrative. They’re just two conmen creeps that waste time boring out over Elon and Trump and your typical Silicon Valley frat bro nonsense. Look through their episodes, they rarely feature any women at all. It’s always the same kinda man. The Rippling Deel episode was particula... more

7 Brutal Questions for a $20B Founder
Q: Did you almost cave at the consensus?
No. We had a real conviction on the SMB thing. It cost us, like we would go raise our rounds. We had all those, like we never had... The only easier round was the IPO round. Nobody liked the thesis, nobody bought the SMB thesis.

Q: Can you go to, okay, so your categories were 2 to 10, 10 to 100, 100 to 1,000, and then 1,000 to 10,000. What about how hard you are working?
Yeah, people talk about 996. That was at least that for both Darmesh and I. We were peddled to the metal the entire time.
