@heynavtoor Honestly makes no sense. Your posts are some of the most useful AI content on here and clearly made in good faith. I hope that X will review and fix this soon
On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it.
I need it.
As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.
My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.
I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.
It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.

This was my reply to this Jesse guy.
1. The price paid cash up front (something like 21 or 22m).
2. Then I personally was given a bunch of stock as talent (I was hosting MFM and The Hustle was, in part, my personality).
3. Also, some key employees got stock deals too.
3. The stock went up a ton as it vested, but even if it didn't go up, I don't think that's part of the total sum of $40m+, just the base number (but i'd have to do the math).
4. We were also given a contract that was all performance to continue hosting the pod. Originally, that contract was decent. But as the podcast exploded, it was a lot more. If you say that was part of the The Hustle deal (but it'd also be fair to say that was separate talent contract and not part of The Hustle deal), then it changed things a lot. I don't reveal that as I'm not the only party involved.
The #4 part is still in action, so it could be a lot higher (or lower, as its all performance).
But assuming the pod does NOT grow and stays constant...the total price of all the things above combine to that $40m number, which is what i said in that post.
I can prove it all to you, if you'd like.
But frankly, I think you're a punk and don't want to talk to you.
You've contacted me before. You said you liked me and listened to my content.
Then you try to call me out here to look cool. Like dunking on the cool kid as it'll get you points, which I'm not the cool kid but podcasters are easy to mock because we put ourselves out there.
And then on this very thread you said you don't consume my content to add to the narrative of "f this sam guy, he sucks!".
I'm a very flawed person, not doubt about it. But I work so hard to be a stand up guy and serve others.
And being polite to me and my business partners in private, but trying to tear my down in public to gain cool points -- its so low character.
I'm a person and you trying to hurt me when I can prove all of this AND you speak nicely to me in private, well, it brings me down and hate twitter.
@thesamparr You can feel the emotion behind this. It is not easy to stay kind and keep creating when people twist your story. You’ve inspired so many of us with your honesty, hustle, and heart. You deserve more credit than you get. please don’t let the noise drown that out.
@josefbuettgen@starter_story@thepatwalls@TrySetter Great watch! I think a lot founders have a hard time setting prices high but we underestimate the value our product bring to big players like companies
@jasonfried Everyone’s obsessed with making money sprint.
But Buffett’s golden rule is simple: don’t lose it.
Sometimes the best play is letting it sit, untouched
