The fact that he met partners on the entrepreneurship subreddit is crazyyyyy
Boys went hard the on the questions this felt like a Due Diligence 😂
This guy is highly capable, particularly remarkable due to his age. I have to point out for those new to the idea of starting or running a business, "the business doesn't exist yet" is just a whisker away from "highly distressed business" conceptually, in terms of the actions you need to take to first get to breakeven. Studying how to work a turnaround gets you an "in the trenches" look at how to take your non-existent business and 'revive' it. A not-yet-started business that you need to get money from is very 'troubled' in a sense, and if you study turnarounds, it's quite better than "how to start a business' type of book perhaps.
It's probably the best episode of MFM in this regard, and I wish I'd seen this right out of college when we were starting - thank you!
Interesting approach.
Or misleading his achievements...
Love this pod, and the intro tune as well! Dopeness!
I really enjoyed this one! So many great ideas
Very informative. I always learn so much from your podcasts!🙂
58:56 it is the feeling. It is so Nevellie Goddardesque. Also Joseph Murphy's Law of inverse transformation. Shaan & Sam modern day mystics of business
i'm buying two frogs and naming them parr and puri. great episode fellas!
Great pod, lots of insights.
Icahn didn’t fire those people (it was a railroad company I believe) until he talked to the field guys and gained the insight they have no idea what the guys in New York did.
Another amazing MFM Episode.❤
what was the website mentioned at 35:15 ?
BuiltWith
@@danielgothits thanks
Best podcast ever! Thank you. 😊😊
You teamed up with Misha?! Nice! Horizon pedals are amazing, I hear
The training montage line is 🔥
Every single time, I read the title.
Makes me go: "Nah, this episode ain't for me".
And then I start listening. And it takes them a whole 2 mins to convince me to listen to the whole thing, while constantly smiling.
What is this witchcraft?
A spell called copywriting
Amazing speaker! Someone who doesn’t hold back.
Oprah's Key Move was ... when the other talk shows started going low (Springer, Mauri, Morton Downey Jr, Geraldo) and playing to the "Hood Rat crowd"... Oprah stayed on the positive uplifting topics (you get a car...you get a car... you get a car)... and Came out on TOP
Such a smart dude 👌
what was the name of the book i cant seem to find it
Another Great Episode, but the best words in the whole podcast happened at the end “Data Overlay”
We need a Sarah’s list 2023 or Ai Specific!
For all the people that are confused. It was a little out of my wheel house too but I powered through it to expose my mind to new concepts. I got a few ideas from this pod that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t listen to it. I’m Mexican American and one of the concepts they were talking about was outsourcing talent from Mexico im fluent in both and experienced in hiring. I might start or help and agency.
Go for it my brother
But don't take advantage of your people to make yourself more
Mehtab mentioned a website called Beltway or Beltwave @35:17? Anybody familiar with this?
builtwith! you can use it to look up all the tech that any website is using
builtwith?
builtwith!
Thanks for asking, because I thought he said Beltwave, haha!
@@mehtabbhogal397 Appreciate you confirming, and thank you for sharing so many awesome gems! Keep doing your thing MB!
Nice shirt Sam!
i cant find this client info!
Periphery is literally the most popular band in progressive metal! I met misha at bamboozle 2012 when I was a guitar tech.
Dream Theater? :D
@@mehtabbhogal397 yup you're right lol DT is the biggest prog metal band by far
Sam's shirt 👕 though! 🤩
35:15 did so. understand the sites name?
Periphery is an awesome Band and excellent musicians
Bro! I love bucees!
Shaun funny af 🤣
Love the Periphery shout out!!!
Great pod, loved it🎉🎉
Inspirational ❤
What was the company the guys mentioned regarding dtc growth? Boatwave? Can’t find it on google
Shaan looking fresh
Is it really true that site speed optimisation guys are that hard to find? Or is it just a market diluted by averahe coders?
For some reason, it's less of a dev ability thing and more of a lack of critical thinking around site speed. Our marketing team has found the biggest unlocks VS external agencies or dev hires. Best example is delaying specific pixels from loading (like GA/FB).
@@mehtabbhogal397 you mentioned contingency costs. how much would companies pay for this? I assume it depends on their revenue.
@@prodibig237 yeah its a function of their existing revenue really and how much work has already been done. Sweet spot is probably companies with $3m - $15m in revenue. Bigger than that and they're probably already following best practices.
The wardogs entrepreneur David Packouz also got into the guitar pedals business. Wonder if its just a wave
He is actually a friend! He booted his brand up with kickstarter, really cool initial product. Incredibly practical!
Excellent pod
What was the book he recommended?
Corporate Turnaround Artistry by Jeff Sands.
Aah i need to start something now and get rich too
what is a consideration period?
It's the delay between someone first hearing or seeing a brand and the purchase. Some types of products have a naturally short period, other have a longer one.
For example, apparel is extremely fast in most cases. Same with most sub $100 purchases.
When spending on digital marketing, a longer consideration period can make it hard to tell which ads are driving revenue.
@@mehtabbhogal397 cool insight! can you think of a time when a business with a longer consideration period was still really appealing to you and touch on why?
@@ZubairPenang We dont factor it into our investments but our floral company has a very long consideration period. It does make the digital marketing side a lot more complex, but that impacts your competitors too.
@@mehtabbhogal397 Thanks for the quick response and insight Mehtab! Very impressed with this episode and your story. I just ordered the Corporate Turnaround Artistry book; I'm looking forward to digging into it.
@@GinoGraziadio np! Curious to hear what you think of it. That book is literally free profit margin expansion for any business, I love it.
Hey Shaan, would you consider going to Iced Coffee Hour Podcast? I think you’d have an amazing experience and conversations there
Iced coffee hour pod is cringe 😬
Is that graham Stephen? I’d do it
Great pod

23:34 - 😂 I’m a horticulturist, and my first boss is the wealthiest guy I know… I still dream of being a tree farmer, but only after I ‘retire’😂
“The Saskatoon Farm” located near Okotoks Alberta, look them up - go see the farm - my family built the restaurant with the Tin Ceiling and I personally did a lot of the landscaping and tree planting at that farm.
What is the service mentioned at 35:16? Beltway?

I'm going to meet you guys someday soon....
We'll refer to this comment as well😅
Void?
Yeah this is the one
what a beast
This guy is like I don't want to tell you anything actually but I'll talk because it's a podcast.
This is the way
@@Mo-zx4ez I trust MFM content so strongly. I watched it as 10x speed
What was the tree business called?
FastGrowingTrees
@@mehtabbhogal397 thank you!
How does he find failing eCommerce businesses to buy?
Investment bankers, RX lawyers, etc. It started via massive amounts of outbound cold email.
@@mehtabbhogal397 Thanks for the info.
@@mehtabbhogal397 Can i hope on a call with you?
Sam and Shaan, I would love to be the person who goes through and interacts with the community!
Great gust
Thanks!
Bruh shaan looking yolked today
Didn’t know Shankar Mahadevan hosted podcasts..
Nice Bucees shirt
Can someone explain me what he does? Many words as you want
Equity or credit for DTC brands. Buy them out completely or take a non-control (minority equity position)
Then work with them to improve the business.
@@mehtabbhogal397 Thank you Mehtab
@@vitorpaes9563 our site has more details too!
Buc ee's!
“Don’t buy the safe until you have the cash.”
At 48:44 he says he doesn’t feel bad for twitter engineers making $100k but feels bad for blue collar workers making $40.
I agree except the numbers are really like $300k for engineering and $100k for blue collar
❤
Hahahah the "big 4" in the frog industry
8-10x for a business like Josh's frogs.. what?
I always wondered how Misha Mansoor had so much money. I know Periphery is big, but they're not THAT big.
He is an awesome business partner and friend. Works ~70+ hours a week!
And great taste in cars

As someone with experience in the DTC space my bs detector is going off.
your bs detector is broken. spoken to mehtab in the past and he's as legit as they come. known since 2018
@@DaveNash Hope you're doing well sir!
@@mehtabbhogal397 ty sir! brilliant pod, just finished listening
Too much technical details. Didn’t understand. 😢
Hard to listen to, let the man finish his sentences
That guys turban is wrong, looks like he got out of bath.
too cryptic and confusing. this was not my fav pod, unfortunately. I stopped watching after 17 min
I get it. It was a little out of my wheel house too but I powered through it to expose my mind to new concepts. I got a few ideas from this pod that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t listen to it.

No on cares
@@TheBillyo13 you obviously do. You stopped and spent time posting on the issue 😂😂
@@matmaismthat’s not how caring about something works. But it’s nice to see people that are so self absorbed they think people care about how they feel.
Lol you guys just summarised how the law of attraction works and how it worked for you by visualisation, then made fun of the secret which says the exact same thing.
Il forever be thankful to you, you've changed my whole life, I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear, you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs Sophia
That's great but no one like Mrs Sophia managing my trading account
I started with just 4,000 dollars now earning
upto 17,000 dollars WEEKLY.
she's really amazing with an amazing skills she changed my 0.3btc to 2.1btc
Her trading last week was boom
I invested £5000 pounds I I received £54,000 thousand pounds within 7 days working
Seems like a lot of buzz words and fluff.
