#210 - How Celebrities Have Made Billions off Their Names

**Shaan Patel** (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. It 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.

Once you've been in the market for 21 years and you look at that account and you get to see it going up, you're gonna realize the value of investing and that that's the true path to wealth.

All right, we're live. What's going on? How is Steph?

**Sam Parr** (1:26)
Nice fancy pants background.

**Shaan Patel** (1:28)
Yeah, I'm in Mechanism. It's a fancy pants office. Do you know what Mechanism is?

**Sam Parr** (1:36)
I've heard of it. That's the agency guy who's a friend of yours. I kind of know him a little bit now.

**Shaan Patel** (1:41)
Yeah, they have an agency, maybe a 200 person agency, and they've got, as you do with agencies, you've got very fancy offices in SoHo in New York and no one is here. And I'm in the fancy office here right now.

**Sam Parr** (1:54)
All right, good stuff. Yeah, you missed stuff. She was great, as always. So she had a bunch of ideas. It's like, I know it's funny, like we've had Abreu be kind of like our version of Jamie, like Jeb Rogan has Jamie. We've had Abreu, we now have Dan.
And you get a sense, because at the end of every episode we go, oh, Dan, how was it? Hey, Abreu, how'd we do?
And I feel like they both like really keyed in on the same thing, which I don't know if listeners care in the same way, but the more random tangents we go on, they kind of love it, but they kind of hate it at the same time. Whereas when Steph comes on, it's like, here are five ideas, we're gonna do idea one, then two, then three, then four, then five. What a jam packed episode of ideas. And it's like, me and her don't have the same chemistry me and you have of just being able to go on on random tangents or just kind of bullshit a little bit. And so it's more packed with info, but it's less packed with detours.
And I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's packed with info. So I think definitely Dan liked it. I think a lot of people will like it, but it's interesting to me how that goes. Yeah.

**Shaan Patel** (3:02)
And I've also noticed that a lot of the things that I like, the things that I, if I think it's going to be good, I think it tends not to be good. And if I think it's going to be bad, it's going to be bad. That's what I've noticed with content. But the reason I wasn't here is, so let me tell you this funny story about Twitter. So four months ago, three months ago, I tweeted out that I wanted to go drive race cars. So one of my 2021 resolution was, I wanted to do more adventurous stuff. So I want to take a sniper class lesson. I want to go hunting. Yeah, I wanted to go hunting and kill what I've eaten, which I've never done before. I wanted to do a cross-country trip. I did it. And I wanted to go learn how to do race cars.
And so I tweeted out, I wanted to go to a driving class.
