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.

Yeah, we have the big spectacle. We have the screens. We have the thing when we hit our donation goal, there's gonna be the big fireworks or whatever for doing the, that's the moment.
So the difference between us and everybody else is that we also care about the moments between the moments.

All right, Shaan, do me a favor, go to our document and look at the video that I posted to the Instagram, the Instagram link. So I found this this weekend.
I was sitting in the bath.

**Shaan Puri** (1:35)
I just watched this. Right before the pond, I watched this, yeah.

**Sam Parr** (1:38)
Does that? Okay, so I was sitting in the bath, just chilling, watching Instagram. You ever sit in the bath? You ever like bath Sundays and just kinda sit for a few minutes?

**Shaan Puri** (1:46)
I have kids, dude. My bath is very different than yours now.

**Sam Parr** (1:48)
Well, that's true. So I just, it was Sunday bath, just chilling, going through Instagram and I got this video of this lady.
It's a woman from Germany. I think she's German and a guy and they're running together on a 200 meter race at the Paralympics. She's blind and he's the guide runner and they win the race and they start hugging and she's all crying. Is that the coolest video you've seen today or what?

**Shaan Puri** (2:14)
This, I didn't actually understand what was happening. It just looks like they're racing against each other. I wouldn't have even known what this was if you hadn't said anything.

**Sam Parr** (2:22)
So, she's blind and she must not be fully blind and what they do in the Paralympics is if you're not, yeah, they put a blindfold on everyone because some people might be legally blind and they could still kind of see a little bit.
And so what they do is they put this blindfold on everyone and then these women are like really fast women. So like another woman can't be their guide because there's just faster men who could keep up. And so they're all teamed up with a guy who pelps their foot into the blocks and puts their hand in the right place and then has to run alongside them stride for stride. And they'll say like, all right, you're in second now or like you're in first. Like, all right, we're on the straightaway. Like pretty cool stuff. And it seems really rewarding. I'm gonna do this. So I've contacted a track coach.

**Shaan Puri** (3:07)
You saw this video.
You got emotional. You know, the bath bomb started hitting and I started getting misty and you just decided this is what I'm born to do. I'm gonna be a guide runner or you want somebody to guide you.

**Sam Parr** (3:19)
Which one are you trying to do?
So here's the deal.
I am now, I'm still fast enough that I am as fast as some of these blind women. I'm not as fast as the blind men, but I can keep up with the women a little bit. And I probably have five more years where I can keep up with them. And so I can't, I'm not good enough to go to the Olympics. I never was. And particularly now as I get older, I'm not good enough. This is my shot. This is my way to get into the Olympics is to be a guide runner for a blind lady.
