Buying A $50M Egg Carton Biz For $0 Down + How Much Obama And Oprah Make From A Speaking Gig

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.
How much do you think Obama charges?

**Shaan Puri** (1:04)
I would have guessed 250 to 350K. That's my guess for like a speaking engagement.
But honestly, it could be more. It could be like double that.

**Sam Parr** (1:12)
Dude, so I think it's, I heard rumors. It's in like the 1.2 million range. And that makes way sense. Obama is not gonna get out of bed for less than a million.
All right, what's going on? I have been bursting at the seams to tell you a story.

**Shaan Puri** (1:34)
You sent me the teaser, you go, I got the best story. I was like, all right, let's hear it. And you're like, on the podcast, not here. I was like, okay, well, give me like a clue.
Can't say anything on the podcast. So I'm here now, two days of a tease later. Let's hear it.

**Sam Parr** (1:49)
All right, so there was this guy who you had on the podcast, the comedian, Hasan. What's his last name, Minhaj?

**Shaan Puri** (1:56)
Minhaj, yeah.

**Sam Parr** (1:57)
Is it with an H?

**Shaan Puri** (1:58)
H. Yeah.

**Sam Parr** (2:00)
So I was out to eat with my friend, Jason, Jason Yonowitz from BlockWorks on Saturday night, and we were sitting outside in New York City just having dinner, and I see Hasan walk by. I forget his last name, but it was Hasan, and I was like, oh shit, I can't remember his last name, so I don't wanna scream out his last name, but I know it's Hasan.

**Shaan Puri** (2:18)
By the way, I think he pronounces it Hasan, but let's keep going.

**Sam Parr** (2:22)
Hasan, sorry.
And I see him walk by, and I go, oh Jason, there's that guy, he was on our pod. I wasn't there, but he was there.
Should I go say what's up to him? And Jason was like, yeah, go do it. It's like, all right, fine. He already made it down the block, but that's okay, I'm gonna run. So I get up from dinner, and I kinda like chase him down, and I was like, oh man, I'm gonna look like a weirdo, but whatever, he'll know. And I go, hey, hey, and people look at it, like see me, like they think something's up. I'm like, no, I'm just gonna grab him. And I cross the street, and I finally grab him, I go, Hasan, what's going on, man? And he turns around, I go, what's up, dude?
Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. He was with his girlfriend or someone, a girl.
And I was like, hey man, it's me, Sam Parr. I think we chatted once or twice on Twitter, but you're close with Shaan, and you were on the podcast. I wasn't there, but I just wanted to say, hey, I love your work. And he goes, what? I go, yeah, I'm just like, you know, I'm Sam from My First Million. And he goes, dude, I've never been on a podcast before.
And I was like, what do you mean? You were just on it. He goes, who do you think I am? I go, you're Hasan, the comedian, right? And he goes, no, that's not me. And then I was like, oh my God, I am so embarrassed, dude. I was like, surely you get that a lot, right? He goes, yeah, like sometimes, but like Hasan's tall, I'm short. And I was like, well, it was for a podcast. And I only saw his like upper torso. And like, why am I even explaining this? Like, this doesn't even make sense. So I turn around and I walk away and he goes, hey, man. And then he chases me down and he goes, what podcast did you say? I was like, I told them originally MFM. I go, it's My First Million. And he goes, are you Sam Parr? I go, yeah, what's going on? And he goes, check this out. And he holds up his phone and he had My First Million up on his Spotify. And he was like, you know, previously listening. And he totally knew what was up and his girlfriend started laughing. And it went for being like the most embarrassing thing I'd done all year to, it kind of worked out after a while. It was horrendous. Like I'm getting chills just discussing, I was so embarrassed.
