I don't know if I learned or laughed more in this podcast – it was great!
The ending would've even more perfect if Nick had said:
"You should leave when people want more… And that's the pod!"
Nick hosted this episode.
Fantastic episode. I normally listen to your podcast but within the first minute of this episode I knew Nick would be much more entertaining to watch than just listen to. I was not disappointed.
Great episode, beautifully done ✅
The harmonica… 💀! I love everything about this episode. So much gold and hilarity ensues. Thank you for everything.
I felt my cortisol levels dropping while watching this.
We need a MFM Gray Area episode once a month. Making business less serious!
This guy got 1000 EQ score. I’m an introvert and I can’t wait to read his books.🎉 the ending bit was genius 😂
nick is such a great guest!
Top 5 episode of all time. Nick is awesome
Love the pod, been a fan for about 2 years now. I like the idea about website making, what are the tools for getting this outreach process done with ai ?
Can you please share?
Thanks in advance, you're awesome
I’ve disregarded these HubSpot call to actions because I don’t feel as if I’ve gotten over the “it’s free“ hurdle
sam parr – lobby for the come back of jorts please.
Can you please bring Ryan Reynolds as a guest? He's so intriguing moving effortlessly from Hollywood star to Billion-Dollar entrepreneur

Shaan, the glare/reflection from your glasses in this setup is a bit distracting. Love your content, man!
I want to speak at the ex-girlfriend conference.
This guy…epic
You guys spoke about the dating bounty, but it's actually a trend right now! You guys should do a deep dive into it. People are rewarding their friends with all kinds of stuff depending on how far the relationship goes. All the way up to first class tickets to the wedding! Check it out 😅
Wow, I'm 42, never married and no kids. There's hope 😂
Best episode I’ve seen in a while. Please bring Nick back as an MFM regular!
Guys I think this is my favorite episode so far! I laughed a lot. I wish we were all more like Nick Gray.
Easily a top 10 all time episode
Love this guy, Want him more!!!
Definitely one of my favourite episodes. Nick ended it, but I'm hungry for more…
Part of me is wondering how he has enough ex girlfriends to host a conference. The other part of me kinda wants to date him. So I guess I answered my own question.
You guys are the worst about interrupting. You were telling his stories for him! 😂
I've been saying "robo-babe" for years.
My favorite episode of the year by far
Nick Gray for president!
I loved how unhinged this episode was.
Please have Nick Gray on more often!
I need to stop listening while lifting heavy weights because I laughed so much during this episode.
Need Nick back on the pod again soon!
Honestly loved the harmonica 😂
This is one of the best ones guys. I’ve been listening from the start of your podcast journey and this is in my top 5.
Thanks for all you do.
The website idea was genius! Can anyone help me with useful apps?
Step 1: create 5 sample websites for specific niche
Step 2: ask chat gpt to give a list of businesses of the niche
Step 3: use Ai to take the existing info from their existing website to one of my sample websites
Step 4: send them an individual sample of one of my designs with their info
Which apps would help me with step 3? You guys have other interesting apps for this?
Love the story about him outsourcing himself!! 🤣🤣
Love this episode, but can somebody explain how this extremely impressive, cocktail party throwing, outgoing, museum tour guide loving extrovert has anything to do with introverts? I really don't get it.
Huge fan, but this seems so inauthenticly well prepared and cringe
Great episode! I want to be Nick when I grow up!
