All right, everyone, we have a quick ad for HubSpot. Sales super teams aren't built overnight. They require unicorn-level talent, endless training, huge budgets, and lots of luck.
Or you could just use Sales Hub from HubSpot. It's an all-in-one platform built with all the tools for your success.
Smarter prospecting? Check. Faster revenue? Yup. Scales with your team? Sure does. But in Sam's speak, I'm going to put it way simpler. Just go to hubspot.com/sales and it will make selling easier, faster, and more efficient. hubspot.com/sales.
Let me make one quick announcement before we get into it. And what I want to do is, I've heard about these people say, subscribe, unsubscribe, subscribe again. All right, and I want to test it. So last time we asked our viewers for more reviews, and we now have 550 maybe. We got 400 reviews in just a couple of days. You guys are really active.
And they all sent me messages. I tried to reply to everyone, did you?

**Shaan Patel** (1:03)
I did now, yeah, I went and cleaned it up. So if you haven't got a reply, I thought you did get a reply.

**Sam Parr** (1:07)
So here's what I want people to do. And the reason I want to do this is because I think people like seeing us succeed and they like seeing the journey. So you're going to help us succeed. So here's what you do. If you have an iPhone, you're going to go to the menu where you can turn your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and all that. There's a button on the bottom right where you hit record, okay? Record that, that's going to record your screen.
Then go to the podcast app, go to My First Million, click subscribe, and then unsubscribe and then subscribe again. Send us a video of that happening. And if you do, also send us a question that you want and we'll answer your question.

**Shaan Patel** (1:44)
Yeah, we'll bake a Q&A.
And this will tell us the truth, right? Because we need to run the experiment. We need to know, is this how, does this actually work or is this just like a myth?

**Sam Parr** (1:53)
And if you send us your question, ideally send it via Twitter.
So everyone could see and can comment. In that way, it's easy. So just record yourself.
What is it? Subscribing, unsubscribing, and then resubscribing. Do it a bunch of times. Record yourself, post that on Twitter, tag one of us or both of us, and then on that same thread, ask your question.

**Shaan Patel** (2:11)
And if you don't have a question, that's fine too. And then we're going to look at the charts. So we're going to see what this does to the chart movement. I think it's going to actually boost the chart movement. If the theory is correct.
I believe this is why podcasters ask people to do this, is because this shit actually works.

**Sam Parr** (2:27)
And if it does, here's what we'll do. If this does work, if people keep doing this, what we'll do is with only the people who do that, we'll take a screenshot of our analytics and send it to them.

**Shaan Patel** (2:35)
Yeah, we'll share the data. Yeah, no problem. How was the big stage?
You went to New York.

**Sam Parr** (2:39)
Yeah. So what I did was I went to New York and I originally went to meet with some advertisers of ours and to be Wine and Dining or what?
Yeah, yeah, kind of. I'll tell you about it. And then I went to be on the Gary Vaynerchuk podcast. And then I went to be on, is his name Pomp?

**Shaan Patel** (2:59)
Yeah, everyone knows him as Pomp.

**Sam Parr** (3:00)
Pomp. Yeah.

**Shaan Patel** (3:02)
And Anthony Pappalano or something.

**Sam Parr** (3:03)
I did his podcast. It was cool. Did Gary Vaynerchuk's podcast. First thing in the morning at 8 or 9 or 10 a.m. when I got there, I was a little groggy from my flight because I took some medicine when I flew. It went OK. We'll see what happens.

**Shaan Patel** (3:17)
So you walk in. What what happened?

**Sam Parr** (3:18)
Yeah. So walked in. So he has two offices in New York, one Hudson Yards, which I've been to before. It's buzzing. This one was the studio. It's a little quieter, but still pretty badass.
It was awesome, man.

**Shaan Patel** (3:28)
And you guys know each other. You don't know each other.

**Sam Parr** (3:30)
So this is like the first time that we had. He knew who I was. And obviously, I definitely know who he is and he knew who our company was.
