I’ve dropped off from listening to so many podcasts but I keep back to you guys cause of the quality and consistency of these episodes.

0:46 This backs up my statement from last week. Sam has that tenacious, telemarketer energy.
Great episode. MFM has quickly become my favourite podcast by far. Love these unknown guests.
I appreciate you guys so much! The things I get exposed to through this podcast are life changing. At the end of some of these I get a similar feeling to the aftermath of an awesome UFC card. Great work guys! Super inspiring!
This was an amazing chat. Very insightful. The way Kevin simplifies complicated topics is very impressive. Short and concise answers addressing every part of the question. Thanks guys for this.
A bro check my dogs out @SuperiorPresa
One of the most valuable things I’ve listened to all year. Kudos to you guys.
Guys a billionaire and he's use $29 apple headphones because they aren't wireless and work the best.
I use the same because they don’t need to be changed. I am not a billionaire though
Great job taking the lead on this one Sam, I love these unknown superstars.
Phenomenal interview! As great as the guest was, i have to say you guys asked *excellent* questions and did a great job of getting out of the way and letting him answer. Also, amazing job of keeping it light while not letting the laughs overshadow the business part.

Excellent guest guys. Maybe the best: experienced, recurrent success, perspective, articulate and measured.
Every episode is a banger
Chairman over CEO ✅✅✅
"I don't want their job because I can run multiple companies as a Chairman".
A man needs to open his mouth once to reveal how big he really is.
Kudos, Mr Kevin Ryan!
Excellent guest guys!

Loved this website
This talk was so enlightening.
Your ability to focus while launching multiple companies each year is truly impressive. What keeps you motivated and excited about entrepreneurship?
The conversation between Kevin Ryan and Sam Altman is engaging and informative. They discuss a wide range of topics, including the importance of hiring fast, the value of investing in growth, and the importance of having a clear vision for your company.
This is quite amazing! I enjoy this video.
Insightful interview, and it's fascinating to learn how successful entrepreneurs like this billionaire founder think and find those billion-dollar business ideas. Thanks for having this kind of content, really appreciates it.
This chat has been truly exceptional, offering profound insights. Kevin's ability to simplify complex subjects is genuinely impressive. Thank you both for this valuable interaction.

2:10 that intro was hilarious "welcome to my world"😂
Excited to watch this Video
Great guest. This guy is really impressive.
This content is amazing! I can't believe it's for free!
Great episode.
Amazing episode 👌🏾👌🏾
This was a sick episode!
Love this
Great interview. Super interesting that Kevin doesn't hold any public equities outside of Mongo DB.
I am always listening to your podcast; You guys are so great, and I feel like I too always have ideas that come to my head naturally. I don't do research on ideas, they just come to me organically. I haven't acted on most of them, but I was wondering if there are people who pay for ideas or if there was a way to turn it into a business? I feel like this is a talent I have overlooked my entire life. I have so many ideas I have written over the years and never acted on them and boom, I find out someone did and they are successful... Are there people out there in need of someone like me? LOL
Love the title
Epic title. 😂
For those who don't know, the original title was just 'video' by mistake I think
this was awesome
the greatest episode ever
The Value I got from the podcast is insane, thank you.
amazing guest
That was aswome!!
This guy is awesome. All that achievement and still unknown, epic
Lol questions were flying over my mans head like baseballs at a batting cage 😂
Would love to see a follow-up in the next couple of months lads! 🔥🚀
The only problem with this episode is that it wasn’t 3x longer. Great pod!
7:15 , that resonates with me very well
This guy is next level
Awesome podcast! Sam….what predictions did he make when you met with him initially?
Awesome content
This guy is a legend!
Great business mind … love the insights
Sam's response to how many companies he launches per year 😂 🤣 😆
What an intro! 🎉
I think something magical accidentally happen with the title being “video”. Look at the engagement right away😅😅
Wow, he shared some very 'High Level' insights.
Yes, this is a video.
Double Click was way ahead of its time.
Nice shirt, Sam !!
First, love that there is no video title
Best title
This comment section is so wholesome 🥲
The perfect definition of a generalist.
300 Mio UV per FREAKING day with FREAKING 0 ad spend is insane.
Cool title for a Podcast(here before they change it)
We want a Kevin follow up to co-lead the next business ideation episode
I like this video.
