My First Million

Let me just say that I think this show hits the nail on the head. It’s just great!! I took to listening to Guy Raz’s “How I Built This,” which has a totally different vibe. It’s measured but stifled. In comparison, this show is fun, boyish at times (which is awesome) and very meaty. I just wanna know how to ask direct questions of the hosts or their guests. What is the best way to reach out? Thanks so much

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.

Great that the newspaper biz still has life, but please don’t give people false hope about who their buyers would be. Most hospitals and health systems in the U.S. use digital marketing to reduce wasteful spending, especially because there are so many eyes on their spending outside of care delivery. A little bit of misleading info in that last episode, but still informative.

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.
