I am a mom of 2 small boys and a YC startup founder. I listen to every episode. I always listen on Apple Podcasts, but wanted to drop a note here and say thanks for the pod. You guys are awesome- I appreciate you so much. And talking about The Game brought back some funny college moments.

This is why I listen - because I leave each MFM pod believing it's possible. Politics used to be called "the art of the possible" but I think that definition is a better description for micro-preneurship.

Thorp looks like he is in his 60’s even though he is 90. He should write his next book on longevity and remaining youthful at an advanced age.

Long time listener and first time commenter... I really enjoy your pod and I especially enjoyed this episode. I've always tried to do what I enjoy and for the first 15 years of my working career that was doing something (personal training) that I really enjoyed in the moment and it fulfilled me however wasn't overly lucrative. As a hobby I started playing jokes to my wife, filming her reaction and posting it on the internet. Random I know. What started as a hobby I did just for the enjoyment has now become my job. I feel like I've retired even though I'm still putting in huge hours because I love doing it so much. Thank you lads for keeping me entertained and inspired.

Yes, I feel that Sam. Great episode. And I wholeheartedly agree that it’s become so hard to be alone with your thoughts and to think about anything on a deeper level and to be just interested and curious about a topic and to get lost in trying to figure it out…

Claude Shannon is the goat. Had no clue he was in on some scheming but if you know his history you know it made so much sense he was involved. Now I love him more thanks for the episode boys.

Alex Hormozi’s channel makes you feel like you can sell anything. MFM makes you feel like you can build anything. That’s the essence of it.

Sam’s insights from the beginning of the episode is wonderful. It’s hard for me to focus on doing interesting things because I already have a life goal so everything I try to do should be maximizing towards that end. It is interesting to know that the ways to become extremely effective, successful, or wealthy is to act according things that are interesting to you. And only that- interesting. Paul Graham talks about this in his essay on how to do great work. No one who became extremely successful hated the work that led to their greatness. Jordan Peterson calls it play. Pursue bliss?

Notices the editors are cutting the speech of each podcaster to cut out the silence. I assume this is to keep up with the TikTok attention span that todays listeners all have. Huge fan of the podcast, but I am against this editing technique. picked this up around the 36:00 mark

you missed the stories of why ed thorp left the casino and the investing world. casinos wanted him out so they drugged his drinks and messed with the brakes of his car. he left the investing world after his firm was raided (whole another story).
