Studying CS at Berkeley is not the same as being a high school dropout
Clickbait-y title, got me to click 😂
But if you think about it deeply, it kind of is.
Shaaaaaaaan's click bait game is on point. This might be his true calling!
Man I've been chuckling over this for a minute now. Clickbaiting being someone's true calling is hilarious.
She did drop out though.
Filmed in 2014 Young life of Entrepreneurs , I watched Jess mah together with the founders of Vimeo,Dropbox and others. She was already a millionaire at that time .
I learned from what she said on that film " No matter what you do, You can always come up with excuses and the hardest part is just to Start " .
By Hearing that hits me hard and I already started my own clothing company. What an inspiration .
The risk of waiting hit me. I needed to hear that today!
Why this pod is the best is you guys really get into the stuff that matters f the pleasantries but the how does..insights real actionable intel
She is amazing. Straight to the point. She made some great points. One that stuck with me is building a team of executors. I feel this is key 🔑 - how did she do this though ? Maybe add that to something you guys talk about . A master class on team building.
Shaan is an absolute stud when it comes to storytelling. I would love a masterclass on storytelling from Shaan.
I can teach you this.
+1
more so in written form but I can't imagine it not being translatable
SAME. Storytelling Masterclass
Females can't be studs
When you've had a big win it frees you up so you can make bigger bets and strive for the a grander mission. Great interview. Thank you Jess for sharing your story.
Start from 8:40. Before that Shaan is just babbling. He should delete everything before 8:39
High school dropout????
She went to Berkeley!!!
You obviously didn't listen to the podcast fully. She DID drop out of school. But then she did a college programme later.
Two amazing people sharing their thoughts and business experiences. I'm glad that I chose to watch this episode from beginning to end.
absolute fire and one of my favs. Great interviewing
I was also selling hosting space when I was 16, but I only made $100 per month and was happy with it. Never thought I should try to expand it to as much as possible.
Great episode! Especially loved when it turned toward nutrition.
Absolutely loving this episode!
Love the episode, sometimes its difficult to put yourself in situation like what would I do and be honest to yourself at the same time!
Awesome pod. She’s a rock star and when you two open the school I’d like to enroll my children. Please hurry their getting older hahahah
Interview with Shaan Puri means he talks 70% of the time.
She seems very shady. No specifics about how she made her money.
"Grit" seemed to come up a lot. Whatever that means
living on venture funds VC give her for this blsht marathon.
Shaan how much coffee did you have before this podcoast, poor woman couldn't get a word in.
Actually, just start a complicated business, get seed A funding, sign up bunch of nobodies, take that to pump up seed B, then cash out on seed C and let the whole thing crash and burn under someone elses watch and on someone elses dime. Oh and start another one, add AI and machine learning to it and ur golden
This!
😂
Let’s gooooo #ShaanArmy
I have seen a lot of business-oriented podcasts and this was the best that I've seen in a long time. They were both great and that seems so rare.
Not once Sean said he is Biology major from Duke. THATS A GANGSTER MAN.
Shaan monologue 9 min lol
I love this podcast ❤
Trigger heavy, but very intelligent business woman. Very inspiring.
What does trigger heavy means? Inspiring, indeed!
Awesome EP. Thanks for sharing.
Please have her on the podcast again soon
Thank you for the knowledge as always. Cool guest.
Btw I’m a legit disabled vet and abusing service dog status like that is not ok. My Doberman went to engineer school with me in Boulder, legit-like. Great guest otherwise , but yeah, don’t wreck it for the rest of us that legit need our dogs
The doggo just needs their papers. Being sad and dealing with childhood bullying from teachers and nerds is definitely legit reason to get a psychiatric service dog. Psychiatric vs emotional support gets the doggo all the same rights as a service dog and it’s nobody’s business but her and the doggo’s after that. I bet the pup would love to be legit and have their own job, my dog and all the service dogs love getting to have jobs for their human. My life’s work is to bring dog kind closer to human kind, I hope she invests in getting dogs closer to being able to communicate with humans, whatever that might look like.
@@elsavelaz I think that's a lot an issue of humans not listening to dogs. I think they talk plenty, but we are not taught to deeply listen, whether towards other humans or animals.
I believe many generations ago, animals and humans were understanding each other much more intuitively. Maybe mostly in the direction of man's ability having deteriorated as we have isolated ourselves from animals as well as magic - which is one path to more understanding.
I love interacting with dogs and i feel like i understand them well. They have alot in their eyes, small movements, their energy. It's all communication. And every dog is completely different. I have an allergy to dogs at the same time, but i love spending time with them learning how they want to be approached, and learning what they understand about life. Sometimes if i am just assuming i could listen to a dog they tell me great things. I am not saying this necessarily is coming from the dogs, but it's an appealing interpretation of my brain/being/consciousness of what i feel coming from them when i am constructing this storyline.
Jess - your idea about compounding the supplement mix was so brilliant; I was actually considering doing a Bryan Johnson protocol but saw he took like 100 pills a day - I thought that's too much to keep track of and ingest/digest. I actually reached out to him and asked him if compounding might be a better idea and he replied - nah. I for one would do the compounding thing to get my optimal mix of supps. in a more convenient and potent form. Let me know when/if you commercialize this and/or if u want people on that team! So kudos!!!!
This episode is 🔥
She is amazing! Very inspiring and thought-provoking! So much knowledge and wisdom from such a young spirit! Thanks for sharing!
lol shaan low key negging cody sanchez on small boy stuff made all MFMers smile
Ok she is AMAZING , man I lover her energy!
The male voice you mean?
Ok new goal, figure out What is the model of Stealth Litigation Marketplace. Then write a Medium post about it.
Great question!! I stopped and started answering it for myself!
thx for bringing in women entrepreneurs too, on the pod!
tbh found portions of it extra extravagant but then that's because couldn't foreseeably relate to it
Why do we never hear about the first business? When you have money and contacts already, success isnt surprising but first business success is the hardest part
Shaan P making moves!
24:28 Same here Shaan, opening Alaska Jiu-Jitsu in the spring!
I read her blog when she was about 17 and started indinero. Glad to catch up on what happened since and know she was a force then, still a force now.
Fantastic discussion! Jess is wonderful! Inspirational. Keep up the great work!
7 mins in and she (?) sounds like a grifter. Hope it improves.
probably she is 😅
Jess Mah gave so much value!
Loved this episode... So, so much!
Great great episode!
Looking forward to this
Conflating net worth to importance is a little narcissistic. So by definition, anyone worth less than her is less important? Normally love the podcast but she was too self-important for me.
Shaan P !!! The man who moves this pod
great pod
nice interview
Amazing episode, but the intro was 7:30 min long lol. There are UFC fights with less build up.
Love some of the people you interview, but not sure about this one. Getting super scammer-y vibes here. You guys have had some really legit people on here, but this ain't it.. a lot of things set off my BS radar early so I went to fact check. Quick due diligence yields pretty shocking results (litigation around misappropriation of funds, former employees saying books were being cooked, valuation doesn't add up). I'm gonna skip this one lol.
Bro am I autistic or something?
People here are commenting that they got scammery vibes right off the bat but I didn't sense it at all (especially bc Shaan hyped up her to the moon at the start.)
She is definitely beating the "mindset" horse a lot which is often sus. She has avoided divulging too much about the specific buisnesses she deals with (yet) and is talking a lot abt billionaire lifestyle; both red flag-ish. She often drops humble brags too.
Despite all that it's still not ticking off my radar. Will do my research on her but any other specific thing you noticed that made you opt out?
Edit: She does discuss her buisnesses. Seems like she mostly raises money.
Adam's apple?
I dont believe her story nor her business valuation
Dude just spoke for 5 minutes straight without so much as breathing... Whilst interviewing someone else!
Oh of my favorite conversations in a minute.
Please let Jess know that the Yeti is a side-address microphone. She'll get much better results when it's set up correctly.
Dope episode
Nice one!
To the discussion of "We don't build great products to make money, we make money to build great products", I think that's more of a "My second million" discussion... People care about money until they are Financially secure, but once they are at least relatively successful I think most people are using their money for the things they care about...
Algorithmically this is the difference about her- this guest interviews back and if you measured amount of time talking, hers would be less than the host
don't doubt she is talented, but the casual 'i have my own airplane' and using it for day trips is really off-putting. the carbon impact of private jet flights is 10-20x commercial.
Amazing podcast !
Great interview and a fascinating life's story for Jess so far. Thanks for the thoughtful questions & answers from both of you. A great way to spend a morning. 💫
She seems great, probably is, but I get SBF/Elizabeth Holmes vibes for some reason.
Dropping out by being fully capable of doing a ged immediately after is not the same as dropping out due to unfortunate events. I'm not saying no one is lying but i will say it's dishonest.
⭐ One of my favourite episodes
31:31 "create the time by hiring other people to do the work", "manufacture the money by raising the money". ...I don't think this is an option for most people
scammer alert
Interview got creepy in the middle…
She’s wonderful ❤
First half - Seems like Shaan is the guest😂
Would be great to see you two connect with PBD on the school concept. I could see an entire progression of k-12 and well beyond in a hybrid setting utilizing your entire combined network as an educational resource to hybridize the curriculum.
Y’all trynna show how confident you are in this wanna give me a full ride scholarship to whatever school y’all make I’m 19 finishing my highschool credits
Wish Shaan would just let the guest talk and not try and add all these anecdotes in this one.
Also whats her company, how is she building it, and how is she worth nearly $1bn? I dont feel like thats covered at all.
It’s 🐟 y
notes:
you dont have to be the “winner” status quo. Meditate on what success actually looks for you.
what would you do if you had 1bill usd?
it’s dangerous to wait. It’s more risky to wait than it is to take action now, you’ll always lack time, money, knowledge, skills. start now. Focus on be resourceful. Manifest.
Always do belly-to-belly business
Have fun building interesting things instead of doing it for the money
Here we go
Been listening for you for years, but this guest has even stronger Elizabeth Holmes, than the Holmes herself 🥰🥰🥰 And this is funny that Shaan in the next episodes mentioned that he had suspicions about her also. You are not wrong, Shaan, you are not wrong.
That pitch was perfect... Well done bro
as a normal youtube guy I'll find a way how to summarize your videos and take out the "non-essential" talks and go straight to the point, an hour video in like TLDR 15 minutes thanks for saving time
love beauty and brains. great combo seeing her with sean
You should do an episode on the top questions to break limiting beliefs
Awesome ! Let me know when she has a company that grows new human teeth. I'm really missing the ones I've had removed. Huge potential tam. Over 20 million teeth are extracted each year in America in dentist offices presently. Which would be the tip of the iceberg for bad teeth.
She was literally making over 100k in high school
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
She’s OLIVIA SULLIVAN FINANCIALS
I'm definitely gonna check her out. Do yo have any idea if she manages family fund?
Your right, people make money even when the market is down. I started investing recently and realised there's a secret to constant wins .
Jess Mah is dope af
28:40 was a chilling reality check !
Jess is very impressive, but I was left wanting more details on how she started some of her companies. Maybe you can get her on again?
she won't tell you. Half of it is made up, another one is just scam.
@@Gogi1630Elaborate
Kudos to Shaan on his success and this platform, but personally i do sometimes wish these conversations were a bit heavier on the business technical and a little lighter on the generic stuff like "the dangers of waiting or [overcoming negative self talk]"...we can learn the latter from almost any self help podcast
👏🏼
Agreed!
Sounds like she learned to build companies, raise capital and hire experts operate and run it. Amazing.
these people remind me of the people who praised people like SBF and all the other frauds
just dont watch them
E526, in which Shaan Puri interviews himself in the presence of a brilliant entrepreneur.
Shaan, living in San Francisco as you do, using it as an aspiration, and Jess living in LA and owning one as she does... I'm curious what your thoughts are on global warming? 🤔
I would love to be on your podcast one day. I have an interesting story about how I started in the online music industry in the 90's then electronics to food manufacturing.
A tear came to my eye when she said grit
Amazing
Wow Shaan P with the rizz of the year (P stands for pulled)
Create a think tank for a new generation of education, financial literacy , life skills and health... and I'll will share my years worth of brainstorming.
if she dropped out of high school how did she get in to UC Berkeley?
