**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 a whole bunch of big money industry financial players that will happily pay $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 a year just to be like, explain this shit to me.

Let's travel never looking back.

**Sam Parr** (1:25)
Shaan, what are you wearing?

**Shaan Patel** (1:30)
You get so offended when I don't have sleeves. I forgot.

**Sam Parr** (1:32)
I'm not offended. I just think that-

**Shaan Patel** (1:34)
You get so shook. You completely flabbergasted.

**Sam Parr** (1:37)
I think that a sleeveless hoodie is an interesting choice. I think you look nice and you look jacked.

**Shaan Patel** (1:43)
Thank you. I'm trying to be jacked.

**Sam Parr** (1:46)
Are you?

**Shaan Patel** (1:49)
I'm thick jacked. I have a lot of muscle, but they're still fat on the muscle, so it doesn't look very good.
I took this photo. You know those cars that kids get where it's like a mini version of a car so they can drive it around like whatever.
So we got one for my daughter's birthday. It's like a little mini Range Rover thing. And so I posted on Instagram. I never posted on Instagram. So I posted on Instagram a close up of the Range Rover logo, the wheel, where you couldn't tell it's a kid's car. I was like, yeah, new ride, work hard.
It always pays off. And then I posted like a zoomed out version of it in my driveway, and it's like two feet long. And then I take a picture posing with it. And then, yeah, I didn't realize or I forgot that most of the world hasn't seen me in like two years. And so, you know, I have long hair now. I never had long hair. So everybody in my Instagram is like, what's going on? Is this you? What is this? And then also I've gotten like considerably like bigger, more muscular, I guess.

**Sam Parr** (2:51)
Yeah, you've over the last, I would say, four years.
Four years. It's been like a three-year journey maybe. You've changed significantly.

**Shaan Patel** (2:59)
Yes.
I got a bunch of DMs of people just being like, well, like, that's funny what you were doing. Like, because I was like, you know, like, you know, proving the haters wrong. Like, you know, hard work pays off. You know, like the cringey Instagram stuff that people do when they like get a new car.
I was doing that. I just doing it for a joke. And then also jokes on me because people are like, you look weird.

**Sam Parr** (3:17)
That's all right. They are actually complimenting you. So do you know that I was reading stuff on... We talked about examine.com. I was reading about examine.com. So I enjoy reading about things that are correlated to longevity.
And so like different studies on that. And so there's two findings that I've discovered. The first is grip strength. So grip strength is highly correlated with longevity. The second thing is...
Do you know? Yeah, I'll explain why.
And the second thing is quad strength. So your thighs. How strong your thighs are.

**Shaan Patel** (3:53)
So you're living till 300

**Sam Parr** (3:55)
Yeah, I think I'm going to be old. However, there's not a correlation between muscle size and longevity. So just because you have big muscles doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to live a long time. But what it means is grip strength and quad strength are both really the most perfect of an imperfect test to test your upper body and lower body strength. And so if you're strong, you're going to live to be longer.
