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.
Look, if you don't figure this out, you're fucked. You're broke.
I feel like I could rule the world.

I know I could be what I want to. What's up?

**Sam Parr** (1:11)
Sean, why...
We keep getting two things that's kind of like keeping me up at night. The first, which doesn't keep me up at night, but weirds me out. Why do people keep confusing us? And the second thing, and the second thing that does keep me up at night is, I don't know if they're saying it just about me or about both of us, but they say that we look differently than they thought.

**Shaan Puri** (1:32)
Yeah, and I think both are like, I think both are insults wrapped in disguise. Like they're not saying anything bad, but the way they're kind of like laughing makes me think it's not a good thing. I don't think it's an upgrade for them.

**Sam Parr** (1:48)
Someone said that I write like a bro, but I look like a nerd.
And I'm like, you're insulting both my looks and my, like, how do you make me look, I wanna look like a bro maybe and talk, or wait, which one do I wanna do? I wanna look like a bro and talk like a nerd maybe.

**Shaan Puri** (2:09)
That's hilarious.
Second thing. People mix up, that means for months, they've just been listening to this and they think I'm you and they think you're me. And when they follow us, they have it all wrong.

**Sam Parr** (2:25)
It's kind of funny. And then I have, do you know what e-foiling?

**Shaan Puri** (2:29)
What's e-foil? What are you talking about?

**Sam Parr** (2:31)
I'm about to rent one. So it's a $12,000 device and it looks kind of like a wakeboard, but it has like a three foot to four foot like rudder that sticks on the bottom of it. And on the bottom of that rudder is a motor and it's like a boosted skateboard with like a handheld acceleration device. And you lift off and you ride three feet above the water.

**Shaan Puri** (2:57)
I've seen this now that you say, I thought you were talking about something related to like, I don't know, microphones or voices. You just switched topics with the hard left turn, but I appreciate that.
So I saw this because what's the name of that one surfer guy who's like super famous?

**Sam Parr** (3:11)
Laird Hamilton.

**Shaan Puri** (3:12)
Yeah, Laird Hamilton. I saw him doing this where he was go, I don't know if his, I think his was like even taller, but basically he was surfing with, you know, there's like an underground fin and then he's elevated above the water and he was like, and it's like a jet ski that he's standing on. It was kind of crazy.
Sounds like that's what this is.

**Sam Parr** (3:32)
Yeah, well, I'm about to go do it in an hour. I'm pumped.

**Shaan Puri** (3:36)
Is this the next pickable?

**Sam Parr** (3:37)
Before we get into ideas, it might be, it might be. I'm getting ads for it constantly on social media. It might be.
We have a good episode today because you brought something up incredibly interesting and I went deep on it. But before we get into that, can I tell you a quick story?
