Getting Rich Quick Sucks - Andrew Wilkinson Teaches You How to Get Rich Slow

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.
And we did it and he tweeted it out and he went from 20,000 followers to I think close to 100,000 followers at this point in 24 hours.
Hey, Andrew, what's going on?

**Shaan Puri** (1:25)
The return of Andrew.
We promised that you would come back, and sometimes that's just something we say, where we're like, oh, we gotta do this again sometime, but this was a real one. So we were like, all right, when do you wanna do it?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:39)
Yeah, we had like, what, like 20 things to get through? We got through like four.

**Shaan Puri** (1:43)
So what do you guys say we also bullshit around this time and not address half of the topics again and set it up for a third parter?

**Sam Parr** (1:50)
I do wanna bullshit one thing, and this kind, maybe Andrew, you'll know a little bit about this, but listen, let me tell you guys a story really quick. Andrew, do you know a guy named Chris Pronger?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (2:01)
No.

**Sam Parr** (2:02)
He is a hockey player. He played in the NHL for like 20 years or something.
It's from Canada, I think Ontario.
And he played in St. Louis Blues. He's like the fifth or sixth or seventh highest paid player of all time. So for some reason, he reached out to me on Twitter and I started talking to him. And then we went and got dinner and he wanted to, he's like, hey, tell me how this Twitter thing works. Like, it looks cool. Like, should I try this? I was like, yeah, dude, here's what we're gonna do. Tomorrow, call me on Zoom. And the day before you call me, send me five titles of what you think a tweet could be. And we'll just sit and I'll just kind of like write while you talk and I'll just find the interesting stuff that you're saying and we'll go from there. And we did it and he tweeted it out and he went from 20,000 followers to I think close to 100,000 followers at this point in 24 hours and the tweet was read by 10 million people and got 30 something thousand likes.
And this is the fifth time I've done this. So I did this with my friend Ramon and he got featured in all this. He got on the How I Built This Podcast and Business Center because of that. I did it with my friend Val who, same thing. We did it with, I helped do it with my friend Anthony who talked, do you guys see the tweet thread about him living in Africa and eating only meat with the tribe he was staying with? Anyway, this is crazy. If you just take interesting people, and it's not like I did any of the work. They were just talking to the stories. I just helped them write it.
It's pretty wild how this game works.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (3:33)
And what were the stories? What did you share?

**Sam Parr** (3:36)
Chris's was easy.

**Shaan Puri** (3:37)
It was just- Let me tell you one because, let me tell you one of them because it got picked up by BroBible. So the BroBible headline is- Oh, did it really? Ex-NHL star Chris Pronger.
