Respect to this guy John, he completely changed my view of not only him but the business side of this whole social media empire. There is so many things behind the scenes that plays a huge part in the success of all of this.
One of the best interviews I’ve seen! Ty for this.
John is a great example for patience, hustle and gratitude mixed in one! Could listen for days, great pod 📈

2 hours of straight Gold. Thank you for sharing John. I will use these tips to help me build my social media empire.
Best Pod I have listened to in a long time🙏🏻 thanks John and thank you boys
This Episode is really like one of the best for business advices. From seeing a great business man's work ethics and how he does stuff, will really help the young people who do want to do these things. Him mentioning Reed (Mrbeast's manager) so much is also gonna get his popularity up and I hope people would want to learn from him too and this guy! Great one!
Randomly came across this after it auto-played after a video I was watching. Ended up listening to the whole thing. Great podcast!
john is a genius! i hope to work with him someday🙏🏽 also the sound in this pod is crisp. W audio engineer.
Tbh I was wanting to see Shahidi, I do enjoy his stories and how amazing this man is as an entrepreneur. Kudos.
They nailed it with Happy Dad I started watching the Pod because of it.
Everyone needs a John Shahidi behind them 💯
Top class pod . Kye is the best much more relaxed on camera. Keep the pods coming

I don’t think having to many pod casts is a bad thing. Podcasts can be an hour or so long and people listen to them all day at work, working out ect. You need variety

METACARD 🐐
the success of Happy Dad comes down to Nelks influence tho. nobody cares about or purchases happy dad without that connection. far too much credit for the business side of things - he capitalized on a following like every other social media person. he just has LOYAL, easily influenced young fans who watch him drink; no shit, lets make a drink. only reason I say this is because of the comments about how valuable this is for young entrepreuners - it's really not and this isn't a blueprint for a successful business lol, if anything, shows you to be an influencer
I feel like my MBA was attained from watching this video

I think this Metacard NFT project is about to completely different from anything else we've seen in the space.
You know he knew some important people before he even started his business. Snoop dog does not do charity and not for selters water. Can someone please make something that does not involve food or social media? Something that makes our society better. When the economy comes down next year, i will make a bet that water in a bottle will take some big hits.

14:35 life is long , keep relationships 28:45 shorts vs long term nice and slowly built up their audience and shit. People with 20 million followrs cant move products cuz they have no connection with their audience 31:45 you gotta put in the work. Bradlry Martin rawgear he eont give up and he can make it work you gotta put in the work in your product man 36:00 the journey of creating happydad 44:00 advice for creators 53:40 KZread is oversaturated 1:11:40 creators shouldnt be just on one platform, cuz how you gonna make it? By making a product, how you get sales? By getting eyeballs.. thus being on every platform is the way to go business wise 1:16:00 podcast advice, if i wanna "make it" ill have to clip my videos up...😢 I think im just afraid of fame.. hamza put a bug in my ear 1:18:10 are you building something to sell or to stay around? Trying to sell will lead to being distracted and not being a good product. Focus on the business and a banger product, if someone might buy it take the call, but ur main focus should be on building a banger business 1:28:10 when ur prices are lower and you sell more you can get it out to more people 1:32:00 the fan clubs arent that good of. A business especially with nelks audience and i guess mine too. Its great for a self improvement channel but not necessarily for my channel 1:53:00 execution is key , and proper execution too. And then if needed, putting a bullet into your idea 2:00:00 how do you decide what idea to put all your effort into. "If you strike oil, keep drilling" if something is working U gotta keep shit and Prioritize the main thing. 1:15:00 U gotta find that one product that clicks and it's game over

Exceptionally good podcast! First time watching Strike It Big and big fan of John Shahidi, brilliant guy!
Oh my I’ve never found bob annyoing, steiny annyoing but that guy with the sweater red hair is unbearable. Like actually he drags this podcast down, I’m actually being fr. I rarely get like annoyed with a person where I can’t stand it but his questions are legit like he’s stupid.
Boats
Ohh John to these internet kids your cool. But your a criminal. Just wait….. he robbed Kyle blind.
Everyone knows what steiny is doing. He is still a disingenuous, untalented individual where there are so many better people to fill that spot. Brad for instance.
Steve was probably banned, in my opinion, cause of the video where he went round with brad and was shouting 'legalize rape' on the streets.... He also said a bunch of sus shit about pedophilia in his YT videos.
