Shaan Puri

We wanna make MFM merch. 

But...@ShaanVP and I ain't exactly fashion people (below is our best take). 

Someone design us a hoodie/shirt. Has to be cool. Something I'd wanna wear and not look dumb.

Post design here. Most likes wins. We'll shout u out. https://t.co/7UhZEGDjUh

@ShaanVP I'm not saying MFM is cool enough to help you meet a boyfriend or girlfriend...

But the shirt and hoodies need to be such that they won't ruin your chances.

So...as cool as a podcast with the name My First Million can be...

Doug DeMuro

yo @DougDeMuro, want to come on the pod? one of the most popular biz pods in the world.

been singing your praises on the pod for a while.

My wife needs a new family car to replace her Volvo XC90 (which we love). 

What are you suggestions?

- Don't want flashy
- under $100,000
- Not parked in garage...so charging is hard
- In order of importance: safety, driver assist, not lame

Top picks so far:

- Another xc90
- Genesis Gv80
- MAYBE a bronco
- Telluride

dharmesh

So @dharmesh came on the pod today.

Honestly, he's one of the top 3 people I admire. 

Here's why:

He created the reality he wanted. No direct reports, ability to tinker, yet still build a massive business and wants to win.

This is rare.

He has a perfect combo of:
- artist
-… https://t.co/OsoPFeixrv

Listen to these parts:

- minute 50 we explain why he's interesting

- then hear the story of his +$10m domain name

- then go to vectors. sounds boring. trust me. its wild.

Hampton in Techcrunch!

https://t.co/aWuOGHgTJp

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm back.

Last July I founded a new startup. Today I'm sharing it with the world.

It's called Hampton: a highly vetted membership community for entrepreneurs, founders and CEOs.

Why launch a community? I'll explain + why it'll be huge biz.

Link to Hampton: https://t.co/z29t8CLVYU

I started The Hustle when I was 25.

I didn’t know a thing. Thankfully it worked and we had a successful exit.

One reason why was because I met monthly with other founders like @shaanvp and @jspeiser.

These meetings changed my life.

For example, @jspeiser and I knew everything about one another.

- Business challenges
- Personal finances
- Relationship issues

We talked hiring, laying people off, dealing with depression. Everything.

We pushed each other, helped one another, and learned together.

I've been lucky to have access to some of the best founders in the world.

Knowing these people opened doors, normalized success, and pushed me forward.

I wanted to start a community that made it possible for others to 1) have access like I had 2) host groups like this.

And thus, Hampton.

I started it with @jspeiser.

The premise is simple, but life changing.

You can learn about the product here: https://t.co/pOhMuCe44K

I built this quietly to carefully curate the community.

A few of our members are:
- @Patticus: sold Profitwell for $200m
- @austin_rief: Morning Brew
- @adcock_brett: took Archer public
- @MelissaParvisFC: bootstrapped Fresh Clean Tees to $50m
- @SievaKozinsky: Hold co w/ ~$100m

- @asanwal: CbInsights
- @aschwags3: GrowthAssistant
- @invoker: Hootsuite
- Christine Deehring: @BumpBoxes
- @JanessaNWhite: SimplyEloped
- Aj Patel: Zesty Paws (bootstrapped to $600m exit)
- @jasminestar: https://t.co/ENNdA3hj4A
- @Matt_Goodcrisp: GoodCrisp

And hundreds more.

Need a good lawyer or want recs on a good graphic designer? Ask Hampton members.

Selling your company and need support? Hampton!

Have personal issues? Bring it to Hampton.

Hampton's your personal board of advisors of other founders who've been there, done that.

So, if you're a founder with at least $1m in revenue OR a previous exit OR $3m in funding...apply.

I'm growing this slowly. No VC. And we're capping membership to 700 members (for now).

https://t.co/z29t8CLVYU

Hampton is going to be life changing for our customers.

If our team does a good job helping our members grow, I think we will help create tens of thousands of new jobs each year.

So, now you know. Hampton's the new thing and I'm pumped to show you everything we have planned.

Oh, and btw...we hired @dipietromedia to be Hampton's CEO. This business is going to the moon.

Brett Adcock

Just spent the day with @adcock_brett at his factory where he’s building robots. 

We are getting him on the pod. 

But remember this tweet: Brett’s new company Figure is going to be a VERY big deal in the next few years. https://t.co/KvzV00ZThG

His new company: https://t.co/UieS6BBkiL

Every warehouse in the world will hopefully one day be using his product.

This is a really good thread. Great great writing. 

More of this. I love. 

Now I’m buying this stuff. https://t.co/hCE0YhMgBW

I saw a famous YouTuber crying his eyes out in a thumbnail

I clicked

He's notorious for calling out fake sales claims

Here, he tests $4K headphones said to play music so intensely they make you involuntarily cry. He roasts 'em.

Then 11min later, he cries. Why do they work? 🧵 https://t.co/ftLMEdthtm

I want less biz content and more this. Who’s good follow

Sara Sodine Parr

Every night at 11 pm, the Sam that you know goes away. 

I walk downstairs and destroy the snack cabinets. Peanut butter, cookies, chips. Bear Sam crushes it all. 

@SaraSodineParr knows the bear came because cabinets are open and there’s a trail of chocolate chips to the bed.

I’m so excited when, one day, I get the chance to destroy my kids brown paper bag lunches in the middle of the night. 

Pudding. Doritos. Gogurt. It’ll all be mine.

This is so typical. 

A woman founds a cool startup. It’s the hottest thing going. Media builds her and the company up. 

Then, once it gets too popular, the media destroys the company over tiny, nitpicky crap. 

Shameful. 

https://t.co/iPbKWbfsTI

Happened with Away travel because the female founder told employees to work hard. Many other examples.

Kudos to Chief for building something cool. 

Don’t let this nonsense stop you.
