#205 - How to Stop Your Tech Addiction

**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.

There's some kid who's the next Ari Gold that's sitting on Kentucky's campus or Alabama's campus. That's going to end up being worth $50, $100 million and they're going to get their start by selling name image like this, like local deals for the local players.

All right, this was a jammed pack episode. We talked about a lot. So we talked about buying lottery tickets online and how that might become a big business. We talked about, what else we talked about? We talked about a company called Athliance about creating QuickBooks for NCAA athletes. What else did we talk about? The business of mug shots?

**Shaan Puri** (1:47)
Mug shots, yes. Mug shots, the business, how these websites make money, why they are posting mug shots online and how we feel about that. Is that scummy or is that legit? We also talked about a couple ideas for Chrome extensions. There's Chrome extensions that keep you focused.
We talked about porn addiction fighting and if that's a big market or not.
