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.

I think this is one of the multi-billion dollar trends that you could be on right now. And I don't say that for hyperbole. Literally, this is the window. The tech is just now finally good enough.
It's not quite there, but you need to start now and you can disrupt all of these marketplaces.

All right, I went out with Hasan last night for dinner. Can I tell you about it really quick?

**Shaan Puri** (1:30)
Do it.

**Sam Parr** (1:32)
It was awesome. So he like admires you a lot. Do you know that?

**Shaan Puri** (1:37)
I admire him a lot.

**Sam Parr** (1:39)
So you pronounce his name Minhaj or Minhaj, Minhaj, right, with an H?

**Shaan Puri** (1:44)
I think his name is actually pronounced Hasan Minhaj. And everybody calls him Hasan Minhaj because it sounds awesome, and it's like Nicki Minaj.
And so, you know, whatever. I don't know how strict he is on that.

Well, so basically the story of this is Shaan interviewed him last year. I thought I saw him on the street, and I ran up and went and said hey, and it actually wasn't him. And I looked like an idiot, and I tweeted about it, and he texted me, I guess he got my number from you, and he texted me and we went and hung out. So this guy is like this pretty big deal comedian. He is so smart. He's so much smarter than I am. And I learned that. And number two, I was so intimidated to be around him because I didn't know if I was like, can I make him laugh? If I can make him laugh, I'm like, this is a win. And I really didn't, I didn't make him laugh.
I failed, I did not. I could not make him laugh.
And he showed me these books that he's reading, and I wanted to Google, I wanted to tweet this out, but I was too embarrassed. So maybe you could tell me, but I like Googled like books on how to be funny. Cause after I hung out with him, I was like, dude, this guy's got me in a trance. He could tell me about anything. He's so funny and good at storytelling. Like I'm so into it.
And I was like, I wanna figure out how to be funny. And I went on Amazon and I Googled like how to be funny or like how to be clever. And do you remember years ago when I wrote that article about this guy who games the Amazon Kindle system to rank really high. And it's like for shit books, but he like buys reviews.
Dude, it's like six of the top 10 on page one. We're all him.
It's all this guy. I know the author. I know the guy's name. So it's all bullshit. What is there? Are there good books that I can read you think on how to be funny or how to be clever? Like I felt like such a nerd. Like I was gonna tweet this out, but I'm gonna look like the biggest virgin on earth. Just like, how do I like be clever in a conversation?
