Million Dollar Brainstorm, we're back, episode three. It's been fun so far. We had a guy, the guy who texted us about the TRT thing.
Yeah, we gotta call that guy.

**Shaan Puri** (0:34)
So the guy who reached out to us.

**Sam Parr** (0:36)
Jason.

**Shaan Puri** (0:36)
Jason? Yes. We talked about the TRT businesses. He has owned apparently a few, sold it, or what he said was seven figures. Is interested in expanding. I'm not gonna start that, but.

**Sam Parr** (0:48)
Somehow he got both of our numbers. I don't know how.

**Shaan Puri** (0:50)
I thought he was a friend of yours when he texted us.

**Sam Parr** (0:52)
I thought he was a friend of yours.

**Shaan Puri** (0:53)
He texted us like he had known us forever.

**Sam Parr** (0:55)
Well played, Jason. So he somehow got both of our numbers and was like, hey guys, you're talking about this TRT thing. Trust me, I know way more about this than you do. I started a TRT business, brick and mortar, sold it for seven figures. I can help you guys do this thing you guys are doing. I'm gonna do it and you guys can sort of be involved in some way.
And I was like, wow, that's cool. Like this is luck coming to us.

**Shaan Puri** (1:16)
Yeah.

**Sam Parr** (1:16)
Love that.

**Shaan Puri** (1:17)
You're right. Well, let's create more luck.
And when we left off last week, I had brought up the idea of Zapier. Are you familiar with that?

**Sam Parr** (1:24)
I am familiar with it, but if you need to give the basics.

**Shaan Puri** (1:27)
Wade, the guy, his name is Wade. He's a young guy. I don't know him, but I've chatted with him on Twitter. So the story is, is that he went to college at University of Missouri. They raised a million dollars in funding from YC or something like that. And they're fully distributed.
I've got a friend who works there, so no office.
And what they've done is they've built a really easy system to allows you to connect to programs via API. So for us, we run our whole business off of this. So like if there's a new entry form onto Google Sheets, it will tell Slack you have a new entry form. And you could do that with probably a thousand different apps that they have already uploaded.

**Sam Parr** (2:03)
It's like plumbing or piping between all your different programs.

**Shaan Puri** (2:06)
Yeah, I think that this is the very early stages of that.
And this whole idea of connecting different apps through a way that does not involve coding, it's this whole thing right now that I've heard people refer as the no code movement. Have you heard of no code?

**Sam Parr** (2:20)
I've heard of this a lot lately. I think this is trending.

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
Yes, and it is going to get much bigger. So first of all, Zappier, they've built this company now. I've heard, they're speaking at HustleCon, so we'll learn, but I've heard that it's a 50 or 60 million recurring business. They've only raised a million dollars in funding. So like on the really high end, this company could be worth half a billion dollars. On the lower end, maybe like a few hundred million dollars. So very valuable. And so why, why is this growing so fast? And I think it's because of this whole no code thing. And I'm incredibly fascinated by companies in that space. So another one's Webflow.
Webflow has been around for six years. They actually started right before I started HustleCon. I talked to Brian before he launched it. I thought it was not gonna be a big thing. It is going to be a big thing. And then there's a handful of other things. Have you seen any other no code ones?

**Sam Parr** (3:08)
Yeah, there's a couple of good ones. So Webflow and Xavier are the two sort of most successful ones now. I have one on my phone.
People are trying to do this where, can you make a mobile app without coding, right?
