Sanjiv and I have been friends for more than a decade, and together we’ve done over $400 million in business. What you see here is just a glimpse and barely scratches the surface of who he truly is. I'm truly honored to have him as a friend!

I must have missed the part where in the beginning the gym was not making any money and he was able to make payments on the 15 million dollar loans.

Excellent episode - very pleasantly surprised. Shaan's bro in law is dope. And the words agency AI nor optimize were used once!

This episode goes all over the place, it doesn’t make head or tail of anything.
