    Mark my words: one day I will be on this podcast. I’m a junior in high school interning inside a startup VC. I’m learning loads and will one day create my own startup. Sam and Shann, I start my morning listening to you guys on my way to school. There is no better channel!!! Much love - Jaden

    That was the fastest 40 min ever! Great pod. Time flies when you’re learning and being entertained. Never miss an episode.
  • Wow! Soo cool to see! I worked under Jason in the early days of WP Engine. I will always treasure getting to learn from this man first hand. Absolutely brilliant dude and a great leader. Big love if you see this Jason!
  • @cheesetoochalk
    Listening to this Cohen guy is so refreshing. Finally an intellectual person that’s ethical but still a real ninja
  • @guitarzack
    The consistency of your upload schedule is incredible and inspiring!!! Been listening/watching for a couple months now and been telling my friends! I was a fan/subscriber prior to the 400k subs mark!!! Keep it going!!
  • @seabass_1
    I felt like this was cut shorter than ideal. Tho maybe the pace was slower and ideal wouldve been letting him go 2 hours and trimming it down

    Anyone else notice how Sams wardrobe has slipped into full DAD mode since having his daughter? 🤣

    My three favorite channels: My First Million, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥
  • @ericlamideas
    Every once in a while you guys have on a next level thinker. This guy is one of them. More like this guy.
  • @aliwardheere4378
    sam, you are really generous of your compliments of the way Shaan thinks of certain things some times. By the way i love Shaan's take on ideas and the way he paraphrases every idea to make it sound more appealing.
  • @mehtasdeepak
    Great pod, love Jason and his wisdom around start up. His approach seems very systematic
  • @VincentFulco
    Jason is the GOAT, listen to everything he pops up on. Kudos!
  • @BasicFolders
    15:19 So this guy uses social media for fun and a hobby- but remember, not only is he rich enough to be able to afford throwing away time on something silly that he finds fun, he's probably working with a different level of brain where he's also many times more productive than most of us (especially me) and can afford the time and distraction in a way that I can't. I personally think that if it's not used to keep your mind in the right motivated space, and for information (talks, podcasts, etc) that social media is a poison to success.
  • @BASKIN1318
    If anyone liked this episode, watch his talk about bootstrapping a business. Love Jason Cohen and his philosophy behind bootstrapping is worth following
  • @steiz
    Some time ago I wanted to recommend you an amazing person to invite. Today I see you interviewing him: the one and only Jason Cohen! 🤩

    @ 35 mins is where the gold is at It’s double their leads relative to what they are paying someone else currently Once you acquire a customer and it matures how do you keep providing value to keep them around? Just have a better product and customer support relative to competitors?
  • @rosszeiger
    Love the “don’t deny that you got in it for money.” There’s too many taboos and euphemisms around money in our culture. It’s refreshing to be transparent like that.
  • @JonathanDrake
    the fastest 30 minute podcast (10 more of ads). Why not go for an hour plus when you have someone like Jason on? Seems like you have a hard limit on time.
