Camp MFM Recap: The Real MrBeast, Kamikaze Commitment and More

**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. 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.

So he's got a runner. Basically, he's got a dude outside the house at all times, just sitting in his car 24 hours a day.
It's a personal door dash. So if he ever needed something, I don't know if you noticed, he was like, oh, I want to play Settlers of Catan. So he's like, hey, can you go get Catan? And the guy would just run to the store, go get Catan and bring it back within 15 minutes.

**Sam Parr** (1:19)
What? He was outside our house?

**Shaan Puri** (1:21)
The whole time. And he's outside the studio, wherever he goes.
These two people are there, 12 hour shift seats. So 24 hours a day, he's got somebody just watching his back.

**Sam Parr** (1:41)
All right, so I guess we all want to talk about the same thing, right?

**Shaan Puri** (1:44)
Yeah, this is gonna be the Camp MFM Recap episode. I'm pretty sure that's all we're gonna talk about because it was kind of amazing and I got a lot of things to say.

**Sam Parr** (1:53)
I have a lot of things to say. Let me set the background because you're the one who organized it, so I think you need a third party here. So basically, a month ago, Shaan said, I'm gonna organize a basketball weekend, and I want you to come, and I'm gonna invite some other people. Please Venmo me $1,800 and show up at this address at this time. That's pretty much all I knew about. I didn't know anything else, and I think it was three weeks in advance, right?

**Shaan Puri** (2:18)
Yeah, something like that. Three, four weeks in advance, and in between then it got sort of canceled and put back on again. Why did you know that? First, I couldn't get anybody to come.
I invited five people. Of the first five people, the one said yes, and I was like, yeah, maybe this idea is only good in my head. And Ben, not producer Ben, business partner Ben, pushed it through. He was like, nah, I think we could do it. And then we ended up with like 27 people there.

**Sam Parr** (2:40)
And oftentimes when I'm saying, Sean is doing X, Y and Z, in reality, I mean Ben. So Ben was, it seemed like was really the backbone here. You maybe had the idea. I don't know who had the idea, but Ben Levy was the guy and he did a really good job. So basically three weeks out, it just says, hey, come to North Carolina in Raleigh near Duke, and we're gonna have a basketball camp and just show up.
That's all I knew.
And then I get an email. I booked my flight. I sent you $1,800 a day before you send out who's coming. And it was like me and you, both Ben's, a couple HubSpot people like Jonathan, and then it was like Hasan Minhaj. It was MrBeast, and it was like 20 other really amazing entrepreneurs. And you rented out this, shoot, I don't know.

**Shaan Puri** (3:27)
Basically.

**Sam Parr** (3:28)
A farm.

**Shaan Puri** (3:29)
It's like a binary, yeah.

**Sam Parr** (3:30)
Yeah, with like a lake and a zip line going into the lake. And it was like 24 entrepreneurs.
