Trevor 🤝 MFM Podcast
• In March 2025, Trevor did what no man had had the courage to do before, he sent a cold email to Sam and Shaan from MyFirstMillion Podcast, asking to go on the show.
• In an extremely exciting turn of events, they didn't straight up say no.
• Now, as of April, he's left the comfort of Google trying to build apps people will pay for to make money and get on the MFM podcast.
(or at least apps that are funny to help him go viral on Twitter)
• Will he reach 1M ARR? Will he make any money at all? Is this the start of a beautiful friendship between Sam, Shaan and Trevor?
