Now, really quick, I just want to say that when Jack and I first started the podcast, we had to figure out everything ourselves from the best cameras, the best editing equipment, how to get our guests. Every single day was a brand new challenge. That's why if you're starting or growing your own business, you know how valuable today's sponsor is. And that would be Shopify. For those unaware, Shopify is like having an all-in-one business partner. They support millions of businesses worldwide, from big brands like Heinz and Gymshark to everyday people just starting out. It doesn't even matter if you've never sold anything online before. Shopify gets your storefront up and running without any of the technical headaches. This includes the part that most people get stuck on, which is checkout. Shopify makes it fast with saved info and one tap for returning customers. So more people actually complete the purchase instead of dropping off. And then once the checkout's not something you're worrying about, your time shifts from building the store to actually growing the business and bringing in more sales. A fun fact here, but I was actually using Shopify personally for the last like five years or so when I was selling coffee online and they've been absolutely fantastic to work with. It was so easy. Everything was in one dashboard. I had zero complaints. They've been fantastic. That's why with Shopify, nothing stands between your idea and a real business. So go and make it one.

Now, hair loss doesn't just change how you look. It changes how you feel walking into a room. Most guys brush it off, but the confidence hit is real, and the products promising to fix it typically don't work. And in the end, many men just give up on their hair. And even if you're not ready to give up, trips to Turkey can drain your bank account and leave your hair looking worse than it did before. So if you're already noticing thinning, your crown starting to go, or your hairline moving back, check out today's sponsor, HIMSS. HIMSS offers convenient access to a range of prescription hair loss treatments with ingredients that work, including chews, oral medications, serums, and sprays. Doctor-trusted ingredients like finasteride and minoxidil can help stop further hair loss and regrow hair in as little as three to six months. And it's all done 100% online. No waiting rooms, no awkward pharmacy visits, no flying across the world. It's personalized care on your schedule, which compared to a transplant trip is kind of a no-brainer. For simple online access to personalized and affordable care for hair loss, ED, weight loss, and more, visit hymns.com slash iced. That's hymns.com slash iced for your free online visit. Hims.com slash iced. Featured products include compounded drug products which the FDA does not approve or verify for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Prescription required.

Shopify is just like having an all-in-one business partner. They support millions of businesses worldwide, from major brands like Heinz and Gymshark to people that are just getting started.

There's no coding needed and their AI tools even help you write product descriptions or enhance your product photos. Plus, Shopify also makes marketing incredibly simple with easy-to-use email and social campaigns that reach customers wherever they're scrolling. I've actually personally used Shopify several times. In fact, before I was working with Graham, I set up maybe five or six different dropshipping stores, and I kept going back to Shopify because it's genuinely the easiest way to start an online brand. They also handle literally everything from inventory to shipping to returns, basically all of the complicated stuff that you do not want to deal with.

This episode is in partnership with Airbnb. Graham and I are literally always traveling for the podcast. And in fact, these past few weeks have been very brutal. We have worked so much, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm actually going to both Thailand and Japan for the next three weeks with a couple of close friends. I cannot tell you how excited I am for that. The beaches in Thailand, to die for. The food in Thailand, amazing. And I'm telling you, it's going to be a blast. If you travel a bunch, you probably don't think twice about your home sitting empty. But when you're away, you could actually list your place on Airbnb instead of leaving it unused. And if you've ever considered hosting but weren't sure how you'd manage everything, the co-host network can help make it feel a lot more manageable. With this, you could partner with a local co-host who has hosting experience. It can help manage things like creating a listing, managing reservations, messaging guests, and helping make sure everything runs smoothly during their stay. Honestly, it just feels like a practical way to make better use of a space while also bringing in a little extra cash while you're away. At one point, I hosted my place on Airbnb. I kid you not, the guy that checked in was a fan of the channel. I've never said this before. It was a crazy experience, but the entire setup was very straightforward. Everything ran smoothly and it turned into a genuinely great experience overall. If you're interested in hosting and you want a little help getting started, find a co-host at airbnb.com slash host.

Do you remember that doctor's appointment you were supposed to make a while ago? The one that's been sitting on your to-do list for weeks, maybe months? Maybe it was that overdue annual checkup, the weird rash you keep Googling, or it's your dentist reminding it's been two years since your last dental cleaning. Trust me, we've all been there.

For those unaware, ZocDoc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high-quality in-network doctors, then book an appointment right away.
