166: How to Lose Money by Saying "No" on Shark Tank with Maneesh Sethi

Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas June 24, 2019 Duration: 35:09

Maneesh is the founder of Pavlok and Shock Clock, helping people change their habits for good. In 2008, Maneesh took a two year break from studying at Stanford to travel and start hackthesystem.com, a travel blog about credit card hacking and digital nomads. In 2012, his article, "Why I Hired a Girl on Craigslist to Slap Me in the Face- And How it Quadrupled my Productivity", went viral. In 2013, he took that idea to start a company that earned almost 8 figures in revenue over the last several years building devices that use psychology and sensory stimuli to help you change habits and wake up early. That company helped over 75,000 customers wake up in the morning, reduce cravings, quit smoking and defend against distractions, and, therefore, essentially helping people get fitter and healthier.


Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
