two guys, talking about business. we've done it (sold our companies), and now we talk about new ideas, opportunities, and investments. hosted by Shaan Puri & Sam Parr -- produced by Hubspot. sometimes we bring on guests ranging from billionaires to stay at home moms who've got side hustles that are bringing in $10k a month. we like to have fun, and talk about business stuff.

View style notes
- Tone
- curious, blunt, idea-hungry business banter
- Rhythm
- short questions and quick riffs followed by structured breakdowns; alternates between casual one-liners, named examples, and compact operator takeaways
- Vocab tells
- how big?, bull case / bear case, hidden in plain sight, wedge, moat, distribution, back-of-the-napkin
- Frameworks
- idea teardown: market size, distribution, unit economics, founder fit, caveats; pattern matching from one company to another: copy the mechanism, not the category; bull case versus bear case for investments and startups; operator notes: what to steal, what to test, what to avoid; contrarian niche analysis: ignored channels, weird hobbies, unsexy service businesses, and status games
- Topics
- startup ideas and small business opportunities, AI as a workflow, labor, and software-market unlock, founder psychology, ambition, and personal fit, consumer brands, creator-led distribution, and social growth, investing, public equities, and portfolio behavior, service businesses, roll-ups, and operational leverage, business history and reusable company-building patterns
