  • Conviction Over Noise

    Loved this conversation with Cathie Wood, you drew out the thinking behind the conviction, not just the predictions. Such a refreshing exploration of long-term belief in a short-term world.

    Immeasurable value. I enjoy the banter, the interviews and always leave with something to ponder. And thanks for the incredible Unreasonable Hospitality interview. I’m one of the listeners who’s never heard of the book and I took so much away from the conversation. Thanks guys!

    p.s. I don’t fit your typical demographic - 54yo creative woman - but I’m a longtime fan!

  • Tools Are Not the Strategy, You Are

    This was a striking episode. Tools can scale your system, but they can’t substitute for the clarity of your vision. You don’t just use AI—you direct it. And the real return isn’t in automation; it’s in amplification of the identity behind it. Thank you for reshaping what solo success looks like.

  • Outstanding Podcast

    Shaan & Sam check all of the boxes for the things that make this podcast outstanding. You can tell with every episode that they put their hearts and souls into it. I love their energy, knowledge, overall content and how they interact with each guest. And neither of them ever have a problem pushing back on their guests (if needed).

  • Playing the Long Game with Integrity

    What resonated most was how this episode reframes risk not as a gamble, but as a reflection of your inner convictions. The way the poker pro likened decisions in business to reads at the table — that insight crystallized something for me: strategy is only as good as your nerve and alignment behind it.
