  1. The ending would've even more perfect if Nick had said:

    "You should leave when people want more… And that's the pod!"

  2. 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.

  3. The harmonica… 💀! I love everything about this episode. So much gold and hilarity ensues. Thank you for everything.

  4. I felt my cortisol levels dropping while watching this.
    We need a MFM Gray Area episode once a month. Making business less serious!

  5. This guy got 1000 EQ score. I’m an introvert and I can’t wait to read his books.🎉 the ending bit was genius 😂

  6. 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

  7. I’ve disregarded these HubSpot call to actions because I don’t feel as if I’ve gotten over the “it’s free“ hurdle

  8. Can you please bring Ryan Reynolds as a guest? He's so intriguing moving effortlessly from Hollywood star to Billion-Dollar entrepreneur

  9. 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 😅

  10. 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.

  11. I need to stop listening while lifting heavy weights because I laughed so much during this episode.

  12. 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.

  13. 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?

  14. 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.
