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.
Do you own Dogecoin? You tweeted out that you owned it. Dude, is that real?

**Shaan** (1:06)
Yeah.

**Sam** (1:07)
Fuck. That mean that, so it's a huge thing for you.

**Shaan** (1:12)
Well, okay. So the part I didn't tweet out was that I took gains along the way.

**Sam** (1:28)

**Shaan** (2:14)
Today, we talk about Peak, a testosterone subscription company. We talked about BeeRoll, which is a small little kind of bootleg company that I think could be big, could be bigger, but it does have some problems. And then we talked about a couple of gambling websites, gambling products that I think are cool. Zed Run, which is all the rage right now. People selling digital horses for $20 million.
And Polymarket, a place where you can go bet on anything. So we talked about that as well.

**Sam** (2:42)
And make sure to listen towards the end, or I'm not trying to trick you, you could just skip ahead. But we said our feelings on today's episode, and I think a lot of people are gonna like what we had to say. But you might need to listen to the first bit, the first half, at least understand the context. So give it a listen.

**Abrey** (2:57)
Do you guys want to do the intro?

**Shaan** (2:59)
Yeah, let's do the intro. I feel like I kind of fucked up that episode. I don't feel like I did a good job, but leave this part in too. So I think it's worth it.

**Sam** (3:13)
Why do you think it was a dud?

**Shaan** (3:16)
Sometimes I just look at the clock and I'm like, oh fuck, we're halfway through the episode. And I feel like we, what have we said so far? And then like, that's how I judge it.

**Sam** (3:26)
Abrey, what did you think?

**Abrey** (3:28)
Yeah, I thought it was a B. I thought we spent too much time on things that weren't ideas. Some of the ideas that we did talk about were things that we've talked about before, like peak and Zed run.
Thought BeeRoll was actually really cool. I'm glad we spent time on that, but overall B. All right. And you guys just didn't have the energy. Sam, you didn't bring the energy today, man.

**Sam** (3:45)
Is that, that's crazy how you could tell. I don't feel well at all, but I didn't think that I was low energy.
