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.
So I like these like big things, software companies that can scale. But when I heard him describing this, I'm like, God, I want to get in on this. Like this is just so, like, you know what I mean?

What's up? Sean here. We got Sam and today's episode, we're going to talk about a blue collar side hustle, AKA the Hillbilly of the Week, which is a vending machine business, and Sam breaks down all the numbers behind it. We talk about this idea of creating the edible arrangements of DoorDash through Ghost Kitchens.
We talk about the new hottest app in the app store, the number one app, AKA is this the next Snapchat? Is this the next clubhouse? We don't know. It's called Paparazzi, and I tell a story around that.
And we talk about Vimeo, a business you probably heard of, but may not realize that Vimeo is now a $8 billion business. And then at the end, we shoot the shit with Abreu and the new Abreu, Dan, and you get to meet him a little bit. So that's the last, I don't know, five, 10 minutes of the episode. All right, great episode. Enjoy.

All right, what's up?

**Sam Parr** (2:11)
Yo, you know what's funny? I put out that thing for merch designs, and somebody had a great one that was, all right, so the funny ones I thought were, somebody made a yada, yada, yada shirt with your face on it. I thought that was funny.
And then somebody made one that just goes, it's both of our faces. It's both our faces, like kind of illustrated. And it just says, Abrahu, we good?

**Shaan Puri** (2:35)
Which is like-

**Sam Parr** (2:36)
Which is what you say at the end of every episode.

**Shaan Puri** (2:39)
Do I really?
And then another guy, so, Shaan, we're doing this meetup in Miami. By the way, we sold-

**Sam Parr** (2:46)
By the way, call it a meetup. I feel like that undersells it, right? Live show, we're going on tour. That sounds more badass than we're doing a meetup.

**Shaan Puri** (2:53)
Well, yes, you're right, but there's two things going on here. The first, I was downplaying it, because I frankly, I didn't know how many people were going to show up. So we set the limit originally at 400, and then our venue now is changing, and so I don't know how many is going to seat.
And so we capped it now at 335 That's how many RSVPs we have now. So if more open up, we're going to open it up. But I was doing it to make it so if I failed, it would be okay.
And also, when you're talking about show, I know that you're, I think you're pretty comfortable on stage and you actually aspire to be kind of a professional comedian. I have no idea what we're actually going to talk about.

**Sam Parr** (3:29)
We haven't even, we haven't even said a word to each other about what are we going to do there?

**Shaan Puri** (3:34)
So we'll figure it out. But basically the way it's working and we agreed to, as per usual, we agree to stuff without taking it through, but basically we have a thing in Austin at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
