Sharing this here. 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

here's the message this guy sent me. looks like i didn't reply. Then on the same thread where he's dunking on me, he said he doesn't consume my content. Just to make me look dumb, and him cool. This pisses me off about Twitter. You get views for being mean. But privately,

@thesamparr Are continued employment agreements generally considered part of what people would call ‘the acquisition price’? i don’t know enough to have a smart opinion. im guessing guaranteed compensation would typically be included in the total deal value, but contingent payments seem

@MatznerJon I don't know. I think "total value created" is the right word or phrase, but i dunno how to say that. I bet my life he has bought a company saying he's gonna give a seller $ X dollars but its really company stock which ends up being worth LESS than the X. so what price do you

@thesamparr Sam has been nothing but supporting and encouraging of me and other entrepreneurs in our Hampton group. I count myself fortunate to have someone like Sam in our corner, whether that’s to celebrate a recent exit or commiserate when stuff inevitably goes wrong on the way to

@JoelOhman Thank you Joel!

@thesamparr I’ve listened to both your pods and his. No dog in the fight here and I don’t know either of you… But this kinda sounds like 2 separate deals: 1. Hustle acquired 2. Sam’s employment contract Are you saying the sale was contingent upon #2? And that’s how they’re connected?

@derkolstad key employee contracts, often, are important/needed to close the deal. in this case, key people were needed to close the deal.

@thesamparr I don’t know you Sam but I’ve been a longtime MFM and Hustle fan. Always respected how you put yourself out there and stayed genuine the entire time. Pretty lame for someone to dunk on you just for some vanity likes. Honestly, he did you a favor. This’ll probably make your

@toddsaunders Thanks Todd. I see your comments a lot. Your support means a lot to me.

@thesamparr I was on the board of The Hustle. @thesamparr is telling the truth and being extremely candid about all of the numbers weird/lame flex to try and call him out over legal filings that don't tell the whole picture.

@_jacksmith Thank you, Jack.

@thesamparr Here as an investor in The Hustle who saw docs, watched the inception of MFM from the very beginning, and has known Sam for over a decade. His numbers are correct. Also Sam has no reason to make up anything. Dude’s secure af! And he’s a standup guy with honest Midwest values.

@kevinleeme Thank you Kevin, you're the man. I appreciate you for this.

@thesamparr As someone who saw the details of every piece of this tweet, everything is 100% truthful. Plus, @thesamparr is more transparent than 99% of others in the same position. So lame to try fishing for ways to tear other people down.

@stephsmithio Thank you, Steph. I'm happy we're buds.

@thesamparr Hey Sam, appreciate the factual and direct response here. I’ve listened to every one of y’all’s MFM episodes (proud female listener!) and absolutely see that you’re a good guy and doing your best to help people. You and Shaan have helped me a bunch from those hundreds of hours of

@jeharris12 Thanks jess!

@thesamparr You’ve accomplished more than most men do in their entire lifetime, and that makes some dudes feel insecure. For the rest of us, it’s inspiring, and fuel ⛽️ You’re helping others by sharing your story and showing that it’s possible, showing what it really takes, and I hope you

@WestMajorMfg Thanks man!

@thesamparr i want to live in a world where successful people are open about numbers because it helps others understand what’s possible. @thesamparr has progressed this mission like few others! i hope this @JesseTinsley dude doesn’t discourage that. @thesamparr is also one of the few

@thesamparr Hey Sam, been a while. Have learned a lot from you via Hustle and MFM - enjoyed your talk at Kit conference too! Bummed you gotta deal with this, have always been upfront and honest with me in our chats/DMs. To any readers: I wasn’t an employee or investor but have worked with

@mattragland Thank you matt. nice to hear from you!

@thesamparr Especially odd seeing Jesse’s call-out given that he listened to the pod, which means he knows (or should) how nuanced, honest and open Sam is about his life TLDR; Sam’s the man, if you’re wondering

@z_pack_ Thanks, Zach!

@thesamparr Live look of you trying to enjoy your Saturday
