  Rob is how I imagine Jesse Pinkman transformed when he started his new life in El Camino.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pAMJ2WHjp4&amp;t=2520">42:00</a> Rob just explained the ideal investment strategy of a family office. If you’re raising money and draft your plan to meet that model you’ll get funded every time. <br><br>And if you came into money and you don’t understand the tax deferred strategies he just dropped, rewind this section a dozen times.

  &quot;You cant even get to that level of thinking unless you have kids&quot; ... this is so true. Becoming a parent really does that to you. It literally brings you to a completely new level of thinking, and viewing the world that you cannot experience if youre not a parent. And that is just the begining... once you bring love and sacrifice (for your kids)...its a whole other level.

  My takeaway: If Rob Dyrdek would have billed this appearance out at his desired $1 million per hour rate, Shaan would have cost the pod $117k for being late.

  Rob Dyrdek has always been inspirational to me. From Rob and Big to Fantasy Factory. &nbsp;He would set his mind to something and do it. And he brought up those around him. I&apos;ve been a fan

  It’s weird how there is so much liberation from constraints. He is so meticulous but feels so free from it. It’s a strange dichotomy.

  RD got early &quot;product-to-market fit&quot; because of his high profile in skating. &nbsp;&quot;When it rains in the desert, you quickly learn how to make and sell buckets&quot; &nbsp; The &apos;rain&apos; in his case was all the media/marketers wanting his endorsements and to set up shows.<br><br>The one thing most entrepreneurs don&apos;t get is that - &quot;I am going into this with solid demand.&quot;<br><br>At time <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pAMJ2WHjp4&amp;t=2350">39:10</a>: &nbsp;&quot;The gift that I had early on is I used to look at media and marketing in a multi-dimensional way...&quot; and so on, his great comments about that.<br><br>At time <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pAMJ2WHjp4&amp;t=2370">39:30</a>: &nbsp; &quot;But I didn&apos;t understand how to build and create value in business...&quot;<br><br>He&apos;s extremely smart because he transitioned to CREATING demand in unrelated businesses (not related to his pro skate career) and made bank.<br><br>Can anyone get a &apos;freebie&apos; in regards to automatic product-to-market fit? &nbsp;Yep. &nbsp;Rental real estate comes with built-in demand.<br><br>Warehouses, commercial-residential rentals (apartments), storage facilities, those &apos;PODS&apos;-like businesses, etc.<br><br>I bought my first 9 unit apt building in 1993. &nbsp;Compared to all the software and consulting businesses I got involved with later, I always had income from an easy &quot;product-to-market fit&quot; business as it grew.<br><br>I still think Shaan&apos;s &quot;one page strategy for the year&quot; was better, because it organizes what could easily be less-disciplined actions. &nbsp;From the pod &nbsp;&quot;&quot;How This Amateur Copywriter Scammed Victims Out Of $200M (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/482">#482</a>)&quot;<br><br>Don&apos;t get me wrong, this was a highly entertaining show - thank you!<br>.

  Dyrdek’s degree of disappointment in the guys is hilarious! Y&apos;all steal my time, and you did not research anything to prepare for this conversation. 😂

  started my own cybersecurity newsletter at 18yo, which shortly afterwards i came across your podcast and you guys have been a big inspiration to continue going. Long story short last week i received my first sponsorship offer and I just wanted to say a big thank you from the UK! p.s. all my friends are obsessed with the podcast now.

  This was an incredible conversation. What&apos;s awesome is, 3 yrs ago I wouldn&apos;t have been able to follow along. Quarantine scared me into financial literacy, reading non stop, &amp; constantly feeding my brain. The simplicity &amp; joy that Rob breaks down the efficiency of growth &amp; upgrading life is inspiring. Great episode. I will be subscribing, thanks for this🤘🏾
