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.

Have you heard of this thing called LIV Golf? I think it's called LIV. I don't know how you pronounce it, L-I-V-E.

**Shaan Puri** (1:09)
What's LIV Golf?

**Sam Parr** (1:11)
LIV Golf. Okay, so you know about the PGA Tour. It's like the main, it's like the NFL for golf, right? No, golf.
So LIV Golf is a competitor to the PGA that just emerged out of nowhere.

**Shaan Puri** (1:29)
Oh, the Saudi Arabia thing.

**Sam Parr** (1:31)
Exactly, it's a Saudi-backed rival.
And these guys are basically trying to, it's like they're trying to spin up a new league by brute force. They're investing hundreds of millions of dollars. I think they pledged, yeah, yeah, me too, big swing. So this is the opposite of SPS, right? So this is BDE.
So basically they put, the Saudi Public Investment Fund put in, they pledge $400 million to start the league. I think they've even committed more than that now.

**Shaan Puri** (1:59)
I thought they offered Tiger Woods like 500 million or something crazy.

**Sam Parr** (2:04)
News came out, yeah, they offered him $800 million and he said no, which is like just kind of an insane thing. So, but they have signed other huge stars. So Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, this guy, Brooks Kefka or whatever, who recently won the, he won like four majors or whatever.
Cameron Smith, who's like this young star, he signed a hundred million dollar deal. Dustin Johnson, $125 million deal. Phil Mickelson, $200 million deal. They offered Tiger and didn't get him yet.

All right, what's going on, dude? How are you?

**Sam Parr** (2:43)
Fantastic.

**Shaan Puri** (2:43)
So I have something that I've been thinking about that I've been wanting to talk to you about. I started, have you ever seen that video of Adolf Hitler at the German Olympics in 1936 when he's watching the Olympics and he's like rocking back and forth? Have you ever seen that?
Bro.

**Sam Parr** (3:06)
You can't be blonde haired, blue eyed, I've been coming on here starting off saying, have you ever seen my favorite video of Hitler?

**Shaan Puri** (3:11)
No, no, no, no. Have you ever seen that video?

**Sam Parr** (3:13)
We're trying to go up the charts, bro. We're trying to go up.

**Shaan Puri** (3:16)
Have you ever seen that video of him? So he's like, basically, there's this video that I saw a couple weeks ago where he's at the Olympics and he's rocking back and forth and he's very clearly on drugs, like some type of Coke or something, like he's on drugs. And I started getting curious about it and I started looking into this and someone in the comments said that there's this really good book called Blitz, so I bought it. It's right here. It's called Blitz. And basically it's called Blitz, Drugs in the Third Reich. So basically after reading it, Hitler and a ton of the Nazis, as well as just a ton of Germany, starting in the 1930s, like morphine, heroin and meth was invented. And they used to think that it was like a miracle drug. Doctors were like, take this meth, it makes you feel great.
It's like a miracle drug. Like you get euphoria, you wanna stay up all the time, you'll eat less. It's this wonderful drug. And like it was a legal drug that Bayer, you know, B-A-Y-E-R, the drug company now, they were like selling this shit and they would even put it in chocolates. And there was like a chocolate that you would eat that had a little meth in it. And it was like always satisfied or something like that. And like, it was so common.
