Sharing this here. This was my reply to this Jesse guy. 1. The price paid cash up front (something like 21 or 22m). 2. Then I personally was given a bunch of stock as talent (I was hosting MFM and The Hustle was, in part, my personality). 3. Also, some key employees got stock deals too. 3. The stock went up a ton as it vested, but even if it didn't go up, I don't think that's part of the total sum of $40m+, just the base number (but i'd have to do the math). 4. We were also given a contract that was all performance to continue hosting the pod. Originally, that contract was decent. But as the podcast exploded, it was a lot more. If you say that was part of the The Hustle deal (but it'd also be fair to say that was separate talent contract and not part of The Hustle deal), then it changed things a lot. I don't reveal that as I'm not the only party involved. The #4 part is still in action, so it could be a lot higher (or lower, as its all performance). But assuming the pod does NOT grow and stays constant...the total price of all the things above combine to that $40m number, which is what i said in that post. I can prove it all to you, if you'd like. But frankly, I think you're a punk and don't want to talk to you. You've contacted me before. You said you liked me and listened to my content. Then you try to call me out here to look cool. Like dunking on the cool kid as it'll get you points, which I'm not the cool kid but podcasters are easy to mock because we put ourselves out there. And then on this very thread you said you don't consume my content to add to the narrative of "f this sam guy, he sucks!". I'm a very flawed person, not doubt about it. But I work so hard to be a stand up guy and serve others. And being polite to me and my business partners in private, but trying to tear my down in public to gain cool points -- its so low character. I'm a person and you trying to hurt me when I can prove all of this AND you speak nicely to me in private, well, it brings me down and hate twitter.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Boring Ecom Podcast is officially here! I partnered with my brother @richiemashiko to bring you a show that highlights the *unsexy* areas of ecom that we feel are critical to success, but often less discussed online. This show will cover topics from finance and operations to supply chain and hiring, to retention marketing and offer construction, and so much more. We have some INCREDIBLE guests lined up for Season 1. I can’t wait for you to listen 🥳 We could not have this without our incredible sponsors @RivoCommerce @aftersell @SkioHQ @Rafi0x And of course not without our legendary producer @DanKirner who formerly worked on the My First Million Podcast. The first episode drops TOMORROW! We can’t wait to share this with you all 🙏❤️
