My favorite podcast
Apr 24
I've been listening for a few years and I'm still hooked. Sam and Shaan are great together and they talk about business in a way that feels accessible to me, while others are a bit too "inside baseball." Even with their success, they're still curious and enthusiastic, almost like beginners, which I really enjoy.
A big disappointing shift
6d ago
I’ve been a longtime listener of My First Million, and what initially drew me in was the balance between entrepreneurial insight, real business case studies, and authentic, sometimes contrarian conversations. It felt like sitting in on genuinely valuable discussions — part entertainment, part education. Lately, though, the show seems to have drifted into “get rich quick” territory. There’s been a noticeable shift toward shallow business ideas, viral trends, and rapid-fire brainstorming sessions that prioritize hype over substance. What used to feel like thoughtful dives into building sustainable companies now often sounds like a pitch deck for the next gimmicky hustle. The chemistry between Sam and Shaan is still there, and I get that evolution is natural — but this recent pivot sacrifices depth for clickbait. I miss the more grounded conversations, the explorations of what really makes a business work long-term, not just what’s hot this week. I hope they recalibrate. The show has potential to be more than a sounding board for fast money schemes.
Raw milk
May 20
Hearing these guys talk about being excited to consume raw milk because it has warnings on it declaring Not Safe for Human Consumption and that appeals to their rebellious souls has me losing faith for humanity. What a deeply irresponsible thing to advocate for to such a large audience when the research leaves no room for doubt that raw milk is exceedingly dangerous.

Scott is a joke. Had the nerve to idolize Sam Harris, ridiculous
Love it
Mar 24
I’m a female attorney and small business owner and I wish I would’ve had this podcast when I was in college and still trying to figure out what to do. I love how many different ideas are thrown in on how to be successful. Love the banter and the random history lessons thrown in between. I think the theme that continues to be apparent no matter the founder or amount of money they have is they all wish to live a more normal life with family which is a great reminder you don’t need a million to be rich. I’m constantly sharing episodes to my husband or my employees.
Used to be great

Used to be great content but now it’s just too much with Elmo and PeterTheil fan boys clubs. Go join the AllInPod. These guys used to be originals. Unsubscribed
Give me the guests bio in first 5 minutes
Apr 1
I like the content but ABSOLUTELY despise that you do not have a proper introduction for the guest. I want to know their name, background and what company they are from. You start your podcast off with nothing to inform the listener of who the guest is!
Favorite podcast of all time.

I got into entrepreneurship a bit late in life and have found the stories told through the interviews on this podcast truly inspiring and educational! I can’t get enough of this podcast and can’t wait for the release of each episode. Great job Sam and Shaan!
Hard to take serious

Lost me when you called Elon the greatest entrepreneur of all time. Hard to square anything you say.
