Appreciate you having me on boys! - Kevin
Legend. Looking forward to this one
Great pod. Lots of insight.
Love it Kevin! I've been following you since before covid!
@@brettrosenbauer3299 Amazing to hear!
@@begracefulonline Glad you enjoyed
Dude has Drake’s talking voice 😂
Now I can't watch this video without thinking Drake quit his career and started gardening and now he's bragging about it on a podcast 😂😂
thats the dream. making killer money from gardening. People dont realize the history of gardens. Romans made them popular and having a garden full of flowers meant you were rich enough to plant non-foods and had enough land and time to care for this recreational activity. To be making money from this is next level awesome. love it
You guys are killing it. Multiple episodes a week. Awesome!
Kevin is the man! And super fun watching him grow, been a fan of his since the start. Love botanical interest as well. Inspiring Guy, makes me wanna start a business!!
Is anyone else kept getting distracted by the cool Shopify tracker in the background? It went from 275 to 288 during the hour long video.
Very chill guy, loved how he explained the different phases his company went through. Sam did a great job asking the right questions.
38:48 Seeds but beautifully done
Sam, there is so much truth to this, about beekeeping as a lifestyle business. There's a well-known influencer, Negin Mirsalehi, who started a very popular skincare and hair care line called Gisou as an offshoot of her family beekeeping business.
amazing , great to see Kevin here
Loved this! Great inspiration for my little gardening channel!
Such a great episode!!!
Wow, can't wait for this one, congrats Kevin!
Loved this episode. Lots of details and explanation. Love the insights!
Awesome vid
SEO God Status 🙇♂️ Great to see Kevin on the pod
been following this dude since he started, so great to see his success
Loving this ! Very inspiring.
Was hoping you'd have him on, awesome!
MFM! MY GO-TO Podcast 💯%! From startups, to tech, to life, to friendship stories, to a future w/ AI..And now gardening. Pure love from me fellas ❤🤍💙. Thanks for your work👊🏼👊🏼
Oh man, pat flynn and smar passive income! I also started from there!
Another awesome episode!!
We had a beehive growing up as did our grandfather. When we’d get the honeycomb trays out, we’d put 3 of them in a barrel and spin them around and the honey would flow into glass jars.
My Dad built a barrel spinner that was 2 layers and I don't know how many went per layer, but he put a 5 gallon bucket under the spigot. Lol. I'd forgotten all about that stuff. Thanks for the memory.
Love this guy. Not all of us who are interested in the game of money are materialistic. Very inspiring.
Absolutely amazing : 💪
Love gardening with my mum she taught me a lot
this is so close to home. we're landscapers, built our own crm initially, not focus on saas market for landscapers.
I prefer the rusted garden but this guy is cool too
Sam def has a man crush on this dude
Can you blame him? Lol.
Epic Dudes
Amazing 👏
You need a garage fridge to know that you've made it - Sam Parr
Love it.
😂
I've spent my life trying to turn a potato into being juicier, crispier, and grown on a tree. Just left my house for first time in 40 years and someone beat me to it. They call them "Apples"
Germans call them Earth Apples lol
Dope.
Wow, been following him for a while. Didnt know he made that much.
Definitely need to do an episode on the Garcia family. The people behind Drivetime and Carvana and a few other companies. Crazy story.
Gardening significantly gained popularity after COVID-19. During the early days of the pandemic, many people turned to gardening as a coping mechanism to deal with lockdowns. Moreover, the interest in gardening peaked in various countries as COVID-19 infections peaked, suggesting a strong correlation between the pandemic and the interest in gardening.
Wait, is this a reupload?
Some guests deserve both MFM hosts.
Best episode yet. Sorry Sam- airplaying this on the big screen, maybe lighting or focal point but your mic cover is distractingly dusty
How to reach you guys for Funding
He kept saying seed company being a big acquisition I’m thinking how’s that?, lol. An actual seed company. Well that makes sense.
Rofl, yeah, actual seeds. Lol. But he actually has a card catalog file that has some of each of the seeds. My favorite drawer though is labeled human remains. 😂
🌱🐐
Can I buy bee offsets from Sam because my dad kills all the bees at our house
Sounds like Sam grew up on Produce Row
I have backyard chickens! It’s great for my kids, and the eggs are so much better than store bought! Would highly recommend!!!
This guys a humble killer
so it didnt start with gardening , cool
Not 1st it seems
8.1
Lets go @ Sam Parr! Right on time!!
Lets fooking go!!
Where is Shaan? 😮
U can't 10x everything. lol
1. Why don’t you feature women? 2. Why are all comments about women focused on their physical attributes? Come on guys, it’s 2024, not 1950s. DO BETTER.
Be the change YOU want to see in this world. Stop telling people how to run the show they built with their sweat. You are NOT their audience. And that's the point. Move on and go manifest a better show with all the inclusivity and feminism you'd like.
Maybe this is a male space youve happened across?
I bought half a cow and I made this short for my channel and it blew up lol guess I “made it” ruclips.net/user/shortsgevYbchoWwY?feature=shared
This just reminded me that I wanted to do that.
@@Crazygirlgoodvibes do it! It has lasted my family of 4 this whole year so far
