Sam Parr, founder of The Hustle and Hampton and co-host of My First Million, joins Eric Newcomer to talk about how he went from an Airbnb firing to an eight-figure media exit. Sam breaks down what 5,000 Hampton founder interviews reveal about the messy middle between $1M and $10M in revenue, what shifts on the other side of that number, why he studies successful businesses before building anything new, how AI is reshaping agency margins, why he thinks OpenAI buying TBPN was a mistake, and how founders can build an audience by going obsessively niche.
