Biggest takeaways: - The most powerful people are the ones that know how to give up power - The more you can simplify it, the more it's available for everyone will resonate - Lean more into the authentic rather than the learned

The raw story telling and being honest about his experience is ELITE. Most guests sometimes hide so many key points, but Dan does an amazing job at keeping it real.

This was incredible, best episode yet. I am still quite confused how they had 2 million users averaging 4 hrs of engagement on the original game of the company and couldn't monetize that.

Here is the idea for MFM - bring several MFM guests at one place at the same time to share their success & failure stories for founders. 3 weeks ago I organized the Fund of Funds & Family Office Online Conference with 3200 regs & 1000+ people on Zoom. Like the idea with MFM guests, Shaan & Sam on Zoom? Thumb up. Let me organize it.

The idea of a value-tracker should be incorporated into every app to remind people of the value they are getting. Best idea I've heard all day.

What's the business model tho Also what's the TAM for guns like that? Highly regulated depending on the state and not easy to buy. I guess
@NotyouraverageYTwatcher Ай бұрын
@@markdin2988 lower than cars bc of values, but higher in America than any other country. But guns are regulated a lot like cars, except for specific jurisdications. I think it's better to be in the business of self defense/hunting now than the car market tho, especially in a culture trend perspective.

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.
