      I wrote my response in just under an hour 😂 and I still don't know if you guys link my email to my answer because under the input field for my email it says "Not shared". So maybe some of my ideas are not useful without some contact information.

    Christina always seems so humble and authentic. Shaan nailed having her go deeper on some answers. Everytime a follow up came to my head, Shaan asked. Great ep.

    I've been a long time listener, and, I'm not sure if it's just because of where I'm currently at in my journey, but I LOVED this episode. After getting over Christina's seemingly uncomfortableness in the beginning (lots of looking down and away), her stories hit home and its been a great way to start the day. Thanks for the pod!

    MFM should have a group where likeminded people get to interact, work on ideas, and find like minded individuals nearby. Hardest part of growing, is finding likeminded individuals to hang out with

      Hi Tommy , I just made the same request in the Google sheet that is part of the comments ... My comment what we need more is a way to connect this audience with each other ... Across the world .people are not different ..the thought that hit your head in US ( presuming ) was the same that I wrote sitting here in India

    Wow what a great conversation and let me say this I have been listening to My First Million pod for a few weeks now and I can’t tell you how much better I feel about being a creative. I have struggled so long, feeling awkward or different and clearly not putting myself around like people and I am now enjoying the process. I wanted to mention that with all of the analogies that you’re giving as far as failing and even when Christina mentions, just wanting to start a book club or a website, I totally get it. There are just some things in life that I just want to do and they aren’t going to generate money but it’s always a process and the monetary value isn’t always the prize thank you so much for being that light to know that I’m on the right path and more importantly I’m doing things that I enjoy.

    Hi Shaan, you interrupt your guest a lot. Please let the guest talk and finish their message, and your questions should be questions short and concise, not a whole speech or a message. Sounds like the entire podcast is about you, not about your guest. Please rewatch the podcast and count how many minutes you talked and how many times you interrupt the guest

      No YOU are simply a terrible listener. She mentions it TWICE! Once around 20 minutes and again explaining her “Batna” and possibly going back if the startup didn’t work.

    • @DJjussi1
      @DJjussi1 14 дней назад

      ​@@moneymakingsim4314 she mentions it after he pulls it out. It just seems like she could have more thoughtful, transparent responses, e.g. "I got the idea about Vanta not from any of these startups i failed at... nope, I learned a lot about startups, but the idea actually came from when I was at the security team at dropbox, I finally went to work in corporate because i just needed money. I took the job in this team because i just liked the people and kind of thought security was interesting and somewhat well paying... and then I noticed this huge problem while there."
      She was also dancing around shaan's questions of "why security"... she could have just easily said, "I dont care about security, I just failed so much at startups that i wanted to win, and i wanted to win big - and this i believe is a big problem"
