My First Million

Sam Parr & Shaan Puri

Entrepreneurs and investors sharing unconventional paths to rapid wealth creation and startup success.

Why we picked this

My First Million tracks the mechanics of modern business building through unstructured conversations with founders and operators. The hosts skip high-level theory in favor of tactical specifics: how a product found its first customers, where an early hire went wrong, and what an unusual growth loop looks like in practice. The show is erratic and informal, but its back catalog contains a vast archive of pragmatic case studies for anyone building a company from scratch.
