ClickFunnels

Build the 'ClickFunnels for e-commerce' on top of Shopify

Shaan's free idea: a dead-simple landing-page builder (think Carrd) that uses Shopify as the backend but lets merchants instantly spin up one-page, mobile-optimized offer, deal, and product-launch pages that convert, without touching Shopify themes. Existing headless tools like Shogun all suck, so whoever does it well will print money.

“E-commerce, I think, needs— somebody needs to build the ClickFunnels for e-commerce. That is basically, it just connects with your Shopify, so it uses Shopify as the backend. But on the frontend, it lets you really, really easily spin up these one-page, mobile-optimized, basically card for e-commerce. And everyone's gonna be like, oh, that already exists. No, trust me, I tried all of them. They all suck.”

Why so many big companies come out of Utah's 'Mormon Valley'

Sam and Shaan explore why Utah produces outsized companies (Domo, Qualtrics, Skullcandy, Stance, ClickFunnels) plus most MLMs and call centers.

“A lot of people sort of speculate that because Mormons go on their mission and they have to go door-to-door selling, you know, a religion essentially, and they're, you know, that makes you fucking tough because you're getting rejected all the time.”
