MFM #157 Rewarding hustle: MFM is hiring two kids to do video production because they took the job without permission. They heard Sam complain about needing a recording studio and offered to do the work https://twitter.com/DylanJardon/status/1366274333858017282?s=20.
Speakers: Sam, Shaan

All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How to Make Money with What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's podcast network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales.
You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.

**Shaan** (1:02)
It's insane. This guy's life is insane is what I can see from this. I mean, this guy's, his steroids are, you know, as good as his cookies, I would say.

**Sam** (1:10)
That's right. Yeah, I want the HGH drop.

**Shaan** (1:20)
You look fantastic. You upgraded.

**Sam** (1:23)
I'm currently recording. I wish I could turn the camera around, but I don't wanna screw it up, but I'm sitting at my friend Jack's house in Hawaii where I'm having a week vacation.

**Shaan** (1:32)
Congratulations, well deserved.

**Sam** (1:35)
Yeah, yeah, it's cool.
Just got here, but gonna be here for maybe five days, but it's all right. How's things going with you?

**Shaan** (1:45)
Yeah, things are good. Did you see this thing that these guys who tweeted at us that were like, dude, we will pimp out your stream? Did you watch these videos that they made?

**Sam** (1:55)
No, I've been flying, but they said that they booked a ticket to Austin. Are they actually going to my house?

**Shaan** (2:04)
I don't know if they, I don't think, no, no, they're waiting for us to be like yes or no, but these guys applied very intelligently. I gotta give them credit. So basically they saw that we were trying to upgrade our stuff and they're like, we'll do this for you, we'll make it no hassle. I'll come to you, I will hook it up. And a few people tweeted something like that at us.
And you were like, kind of, you know, humoring it, I guess.
And then these three guys are kind of like, I think they're like college seniors or something like that. I don't really know. Didn't look too far into it. But they sent us a video. They go, watch, here's what we're gonna do. And they recorded a video and it looks like a Casey Neistat video. Like the quality is like that and the editing style and storytelling is like that. It's a funny video. It was basically telling us how to, how they would pimp out our stream.
And they kept calling it like, you know, my first million to the moon. And they're like, we're gonna take this baby to the moon. Here's how we're gonna do it. And so they did two things. He showed how his camera set up, how they do it for their podcast. And it looks awesome. It looks way better than ours.
And then also he, then the next day he sent us an edited clip of you telling the story of bumping into the Silk Road founder at a party and he like stole your girl or whatever.
And they edited like a little clip and they're like, dude, we'll pump out clips like these all the time. My first million to the moon, baby. And are they good? They're good, they're really good. Both videos are really good.

**Sam** (3:27)
First of all, let's hire them. And second, where did they send this to? On Twitter?
I've been flying since Saturday.

**Shaan** (3:34)
It's on Twitter. I sent you a link because I was like, dude, fuck yes. This is like, it's like the opposite of a job application. Normally you get a job, you put a job up that you wanna hire somebody to do X and then some people apply and then you're like, are you kind of squinting? You're like, do I think this person's really gonna be able to do it?
