$10M Business ideas w/ The Most Interesting Guy In Tech

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
We call you the most interesting man in tech, and I stand by it. One of the reasons you're great is because you made money in all these random ways that I wouldn't have even ever thought to. You've got a $450 million fund now.

**Shaan Puri** (0:12)
He also started Thistle, a food delivery business that's doing over $100 million a year. You're in SF running around like rich people, weirdos. What's hot? What are the kids into?

**Sheel Mohnot** (0:20)
Everyone is on peptides, and everyone's got their dealer.

**Sam Parr** (0:25)
I can't say who was doing this, but on the pitch, I was like, so like, how do you plan to be legit with this whole thing? And he basically pulls up a picture of the co-founder with Trump and Kennedy is like, yeah, we're pretty sure we're going to be able to get some things through.

**Shaan Puri** (0:40)
Say it with me, crony capitalism.

**Sheel Mohnot** (0:42)
One of my best friends is completely Jack, and he does not really work out. He does EMS.

**Sam Parr** (0:49)
It's going to go viral because it's going to be hated and loved at the same time, which is what you need.

**Shaan Puri** (0:54)
Dude, I'd rather take drugs.

This is the only podcast where you're going to get AI, a Triple H reference from wrestling. I mean, the range is incredible.

**Sheel Mohnot** (1:01)
We're going to get canceled for this episode.

**Sam Parr** (1:12)
One of the reasons you're great is because you made money in all these random ways that I wouldn't have even ever thought to. You created a domain auction thing and made millions of dollars that way. I think you did like a Fee Fighters thing. What's your fault with your credit card Fee Fighters thing?

**Sheel Mohnot** (1:26)
Credit card processing.

**Sam Parr** (1:27)
Credit card processing. You've got a $450 million fund down. If anything is in fintech, I go to you as basically like, hey, gut check, is this smart or is this dumb? Because it's easy to fool me, it's hard to fool you.

**Shaan Puri** (1:38)
He also started Thistle. Yeah.

**Sam Parr** (1:41)
He helped start a food delivery business that's doing over $100 million a year. All these different spaces, the guy got married in the metaverse that I talk about whatever the hell that means. We call you the most interesting man in tech and I stand by it. I have yet to meet a more interesting man in tech. Welcome, Sheel, back for round three or four.

**Sheel Mohnot** (1:59)
So happy to be back. Also, I gotta tell you, since the last time I was on, so many things have happened as a result of me being on.

**Shaan Puri** (2:06)
Like what?

**Sheel Mohnot** (2:07)
Okay, so I was hiring a chief of staff and a bunch of people applied, but one person applied and the person who got the job, my current chief of staff, is a huge fan of MFM. And she was debating, leaving her current thing, which was paying her a lot more money, her previous thing. And then she was like, fuck it, I got the opportunity to work with this guy who was on MFM. I'm gonna take it. And so my chief of staff joined because of MFM.

**Shaan Puri** (2:35)
That's a lot of pressure for you. I hate when people say that. When they're gonna like, they're like, I want to take this big pay cut to work for you. I'm like, it's a lot of pressure.

**Sheel Mohnot** (2:45)
Last time I was on, I talked about wanting to get better at photography and video with AI. And this guy, Jacob, reached out and he was like, I can help you. And we went out for hours in New York shooting.
He showed me all this cool stuff. And then, I mean, your audience must be the nicest people out there. Because, also, recently, I went back and looked at the YouTube comments. Usually, a cesspool. But your guys are so nice. Everybody that listens to your podcast is super nice. Nobody was like, that guy has a big nose or whatever people would say on YouTube comments. Everyone was like, just talking me up, talking you guys up. It's great.

**Sam Parr** (3:27)
Arie, the bots are working. Keep paying them. All right. So, we wanted to brainstorm with you. So, we asked you to bring some ideas, businesses that you think are interesting, would be cool to start. I think we said $10 million ideas, which I don't even know really what that means, but here we are. Sheel brought five ideas. Let's run through some of the ideas and then I want to talk about some... Oh, actually, wait, wait. Before we go to the ideas, you had a great thing. There's this idea of this 50-year mortgage and you're my finance guy. You're my fintech guy.
