Agreed. When I see that she is going to be on the pod, you know the content is going to be excellent. She always has some compelling ideas and insights.
I worked in medical billing in the US and I'm always AMAZED how much red tape there's for everything. In Venezuela, I can just walk up to any lab and request pretty much ANY test I want (if I can afford it) no doctor's note just walk in, pay and get my stuff done.
Super cool to see Eden Data getting a shout-out! Stumbled upon them a few years back when they were just a tiny crew. Taylor's a rockstar, and the whole Eden Data squad is top-notch - and their support was key to helping our startup become SOC 2 compliant.
Chief Automation Officers have always been around. Since the 1970's up until the mid 2000's they have always been called "Systems Analysts". Then somehow HR people thought that Business Analysts were the same thing (close, but they aren't - Systems Analysts are highly technical whereas Business Analysts aren't but still have all of the other abilities that a "Business Analyst" would). In the industrial / mechanical age they were/are called "Industrial Engineers". Everything old is new again.
Nice to see Steph back on your podcast. Always interesting topics. The haters out there will always hate no matter the topic. Keep doing you. I am no where close to your income and financial means but I learn a lot to help me reach the next step in my journey. Sam, you need to make a T-Shirt with "No Forever"
Love all the ideas. Steph adds a great dynamic. You know how sometimes you’re just waiting for the right idea to come along? I’m waiting for one to hit me upside the head.
I run a managed service provider which does the exact thing you are talking about at 52 minutes. Remediation > Managed Cybersecurity > Managed Compliance. It's called an MSP there are quite a few of us out there. Last count was 40,000 businesses in the US that I saw.
Go Steph! Full of admiration for her insights ... also, just signed up for Hostage Tape subscription. The wide medical tape I've been using is 25% of the price but hurts to remove 🤐
You should definitely talk people away from franchises. I've done a deep dive on this and they are definitely structured for head office to extract as much value as possible from the franchisee while off-loading most of the risk.
I had the same idea...and I was told that I was crazy for thinking like this. I was told that I was thinking like a communist just for being innovative. Thank you for normalizing innovation. I think I found my tribe today!!
Listen, I like Steph too. She is a smart smart lady who brings loads of value to whatever company she works for. Now that, that's out of the way we gottttta stop with the constant praising. It's way over the top. For example, in this pod the advent calendar idea is certified small boy/girl stuff. Think about it this way, if someone DM'ed Sam or Shaan with that idea, are they going to have the same reaction?? It's a hyper seasonal product with TONs of competition. It's a little reminiscent of when parents are constantly overpraising their kids like they can do no wrong. She does have some great ideas, but she has some idea's that aren't great and that's ok.

Jobs of the future: Prompt Engineering! This is the new software development. It will be bigger then software development in fact. You heard it here first
I’m like Sam write down everything and forget it lol wanna work to find myself a Steph like operations officer who can help me organise my random ideas into stuff 😅
Thanks a lot for this. I always learn something new each time I watch your videos. I’m glad I have started making a lot of profits as well thanks to Larysa Caba. She’s been of tremendous help to me through out my journey.
I feel one Of the greatest challenges that we first timers face in the ma rket is that we end up losing all we have,making it difficult to find ourselves back to our feet. My biggest advice is to always seek the services of a professional just like I did when I ventured into it for the first time. Big thanks to Larysa Caba. I now make huge profits by weekly through her services while still learning to stand on my own.
@@mavsublover Haha glad to hear, I will do it! This was actually the first episode I heard of her but I might get hooked on the A16Z podcast now as well 😄
Do you guys bother to vet any of these stories? Like even a little bit? I know the behind the scenes of one of these stories, and the claims being made could not be farther from the truth. Like...not even close.
Hostsge tape is gonna get sued for everything mark my words. If you have any kind of nasal obstruction, mouth taping can be suicidal. As a former taper i can attest to waking up with my heart thumping as i gasp for air. At least put a slit down the middle to allow air to pass through
My gentlemen's agreement, see Steph on the pod click like before starting

I'm from Pakistan and it's honestly the same as long as I can pay and know the test name, no one bats an eye
It's because of the insurance companies. But still, the worse in the US is preferably to anything in Venezuela, it's not like it's even comparable.
You should have Steph be on the pod permanently. She is awesome!
Monthly segment
stop
Thanks
Yeh she’s one of the OGs for sure 👌🏽
She needs her own show
I dont always hit the like button, but when I do it is usually because you have had steph on, great show guys.
This is one of the best episodes! I love this kind of content and the ideas shared. I would love to see more content like this.

LOVE IT! This trio is always FIRE 🔥!!!

“Where’s your digital suit”. Sums Steph’s intellect up perfectly. To the point and intelligent.
Love all the ideas. Steph adds a great dynamic. You know how sometimes you’re just waiting for the right idea to come along? I’m waiting for one to hit me upside the head.
Steph brings it always! Awesome episode
@23:20 "the hearing aid brand I've never heard of" 😆
favourite podcast talking about favourite beans.
Best crossover since the flintsones met the jetsons.
I run a managed service provider which does the exact thing you are talking about at 52 minutes. Remediation > Managed Cybersecurity > Managed Compliance. It's called an MSP there are quite a few of us out there. Last count was 40,000 businesses in the US that I saw.
If Shaan and Sam ever bring on a third cohost, Steph is it.
Loved the segment on automatization! Will apply that now
Go Steph! Full of admiration for her insights ... also, just signed up for Hostage Tape subscription. The wide medical tape I've been using is 25% of the price but hurts to remove 🤐
I’m going straight to follow her podcast!
I was wondering when Steph is back to the pod the other day!
My D2C brand is going to be on this pod one day mark my words - LeQuestr Games 😂
Steph triggers my imposter syndrome! She’s awesome
Steph is such a great guest. Awesome episode.
You should definitely talk people away from franchises. I've done a deep dive on this and they are definitely structured for head office to extract as much value as possible from the franchisee while off-loading most of the risk.
I have 50 3D printers cranking amazon products so yeah it’s here
Interesting, what field are you selling in? Did you start 3D printing with the intent to sell on Amazon or is that just how it ended up being?
Steph is ❤
She rarely gets to complete her thoughts without Sam interrupting her. I wonder if thats because he was her boss once. Strange dynamic.
Weird I didnt get that feeling and I saw your comment at the beginning of the pod so I was looking out for it. You seem like a bot...
Steph is in the HoF of guests!
Steph is the best!
Stef is the best
#prompteering is another new job description: prompt + engineering 👍
Incredible
Awesome
I had the same idea...and I was told that I was crazy for thinking like this. I was told that I was thinking like a communist just for being innovative. Thank you for normalizing innovation. I think I found my tribe today!!
Steph is half Taiwanese!!❤
10/10 like every other Steph Smith episode
Lupini beans is available at pretty much every café and bars with beer in Portugal.
Steph needs to be on a lot more!!
Repeat guest beautifully done.
oh steph is back on pod !!!

Yes!!! Steph!!!!
Uncle Drew and Bro Oprah 😂
Yes! Get Raleigh on the pod.
All-timer Steph 🎉
| STEEEEPH ... my favorite guest ! Awesome episode.
How not to love Steph?
Yes! Steph!
lupini have been around in europe forever. lupini protein powder is pretty big
I'll be needing a 3D printed titanium jaw next year post surgery. Long and sore journey!
Shaan's getting fitttttt.
Shaun is looking jacked! 💪
Phenomenal.
This episode made me make lupin salad. 🙌

Lupini beans have a rare Amino acid profile as well
GO STEPH💕
Shaan keep it up u look amazing
In Portugal ppl eat these Lupini beans as a bar snack. It’s everywhere. Could the same positioning work in the US?
In some ways consultants are kind of collab experts and recommend / implement ways to make teams operate more efficiently. Automation expert sounds sexier though..
I was just wondering this week when you were going to have Steph on again.
What was the topic marked do not mention?
The collaboration expert to figure out the places that get stuck- there’s 6 sigma a- it’s called theory of constraints.
hey there, does anyone know which kind of software the two are using to pull it off that way with screensharing etc? is it zoom?
47:20 the huge beverage companies cancelled their idea… would’ve put them out of business.
That was my guess
web3 is the future for sure :)
“It’s a no forever”
Jobs of the future: Prompt Engineering! This is the new software development. It will be bigger then software development in fact. You heard it here first
The Rage Room idea is basically the pleb's version of Eli Roth's Hostel, like if you can only afford to take your anger out on inanimate objects.
Corporate graphic identity backgrounds/ they can all use green screen
I see ripped Shaan, I hit like
Are you more into shaan than into steph?
The manufacturing cARTEL SHUT THEM DOWN by threatening to make them swim with the fishes, that's what happened to Canna.
What’s the benefit in using hostage tape?
My gentlemens agreement is i bust all on my phone screen when i see steph.
Love seeing stef on the pod super hot and smart 😍🔥
I’m like Sam write down everything and forget it lol wanna work to find myself a Steph like operations officer who can help me organise my random ideas into stuff 😅
Who else is listening to this thinking I'm going to buy an old Airstream and turn it into a rage bus for corporate events?
Spend coach is A Therapist 😂
Es-cape room
Steph needs to come on more regularly like Andrew!
You guys are so interesting.
We're replacing the worker with AI, not the job. So any new job created that a worker can do, AI can do.
What side hustle would you do if you had 20k with you?
Rage Room? That’s Monday night at jiu jitsu.
for sure
Thanks a lot for this. I always learn something new each time I watch your videos. I’m glad I have started making a lot of profits as well thanks to Larysa Caba. She’s been of tremendous help to me through out my journey.

Scammer
Btw. Steph is great! She comes across as a very original thinker (I hope she is not just replaying these ideas from her 9000 IQ coworkers though)
Go back and listen to her on old episodes, she is the genius her coworkers steal ideas from
@@mavsublover Haha glad to hear, I will do it! This was actually the first episode I heard of her but I might get hooked on the A16Z podcast now as well 😄
A spending consultant? Isn't that a financial advisor?
Steph has a pretty major case of imposter syndrome
If you use phonecase you aren't rich yet 😅
They are making millions, and this is how you turn on Sam.
Do you guys bother to vet any of these stories? Like even a little bit? I know the behind the scenes of one of these stories, and the claims being made could not be farther from the truth. Like...not even close.
Which ones, for example?
What mouth tape are you talking about?
What did they mean by "wait for the 12 year olds to bring blood"? Is this some sort of weird elitist ceo child sactifice thing I am unaware of?
Digital suit FILTER. Obviously
Shut down a16z podcast and let her join mfm.
Amen!
+ Steph = When 3 is *NOT* a crowd
Yeah I could tell she is Asian. Not all Asians are cheap.
Hostsge tape is gonna get sued for everything mark my words. If you have any kind of nasal obstruction, mouth taping can be suicidal. As a former taper i can attest to waking up with my heart thumping as i gasp for air. At least put a slit down the middle to allow air to pass through
Not the greatest ideas this time Steph
You guys should do a “where are they now” for companies/ founders that fizzled 🪦
