#167 - Answering Your Questions On Investments, Businesses and Life

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
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. 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.
You would know more than I am, but this guy's him and his brother. I'm not that close with them. I'm friendly with them. I'm friends with them, but I'm not that close. If you told me that they were worth over $150 million, I wouldn't be surprised. And they still act like they're poor in kind of a funny way, which I enjoy.
And they're...

**Shaan Puri** (1:20)
Well, they're super humble, and they're like super hardworking still.

**Sam Parr** (1:23)
And they invest in everything.

On the road, let's travel never looking back.

**Sam Parr** (1:37)
Today, we're gonna answer a bunch of questions. But did you see Trong's tweet about the guy selling the card?

**Shaan Puri** (1:45)
No. What is it?

**Sam Parr** (1:46)
Trong tweeted out this video that he found from probably the 90s, or probably from the 2000s, early 2000s. And it's a guy who's trying to sell you on his business card that's a big square, and you open it up and it's a pop-out, and he's just really intense.
But the video got, it's funny. You haven't seen this?

**Shaan Puri** (2:05)
No.

**Sam Parr** (2:06)
Oh, well, this won't be any good then. But the video got half a million views, and people are making websites about the tweet, or about the video based off his tweet. It was just funny.

**Shaan Puri** (2:17)
He got half a million views now, or he tweeted something that already had half a million views?

**Sam Parr** (2:21)
No, it did now.

**Shaan Puri** (2:22)
Oh, wow. Trung is a master of finding great content. That guy is really good.
I have this apprentice who's working with me, Chris, for content.

**Sam Parr** (2:32)
The red-headed guy?

**Shaan Puri** (2:33)
Yeah.

**Sam Parr** (2:34)
Yeah.

**Shaan Puri** (2:34)
He's shadowing me, and he helps me produce my content, and he's learning as he goes.
And I told him, I was like, success is being Trung. So that's the level, that's the top bar. That's what you need to measure against. Here's five examples of awesome things he's done.
And so he called Trung, he was like, what's your secret? What's your process, basically? And Trung was like, oh, I kind of browse the internet a lot. There's no way you can, it's like asking Michael Jordan, how do you jump so high type of thing. It's not easy to describe how you do the thing that doesn't feel like a real process for you. You're just doing it intuitively.

**Sam Parr** (3:12)
He's a machine. One time I called him at 11 o'clock his time, he's in Vancouver, and he was at the park playing with his son. And I was like, Trunk, I'm not trying to get on you because I'm not your boss, but don't you have work to do?
And he was like, bro, I got up at 5 a.m. but I already wrote tomorrow's email already.

**Shaan Puri** (3:31)
He's a machine. So I didn't see this video. Is it worth talking about given that I didn't see it or what?

**Sam Parr** (3:38)
It's too long to go through now.

**Shaan Puri** (3:40)
Okay, people and myself, let's go to Twitter after this, and let's go to Trong T Fan, I think this is his handle, and go look at his thing.
