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 have just straight fire. We might need to split it up into multiple segments or multiple episodes because I just got too much fire for one day.
All right, we got a bunch of ideas today. If you like ideas, this is gonna be one of the podcasts you like. I promise you, I didn't bring in any frameworks or life advice, we just went straight business, cool businesses and ideas you probably never heard of. At the end, we just brainstormed TV show ideas, ideas that could be made into TV shows. So I think you'll like this episode. It's a classic, it's a Sam & Sean classic brainstorm. All right, enjoy.
Welcome everybody to the show. I hope we have the new intro music by the time this airs, but we may not. I don't know about you, but I've been jamming out to the new intro song pretty excessively. And it's been good.

**Shaan Puri** (1:59)
It's good. The guy who made it has a wonderful name.
You say his name?

**Sam Parr** (2:04)
Young Spielberg. That's his name.

**Shaan Puri** (2:05)
That's a good name. I really liked that. You put Young without no, Y-U-N-G.
All right, we have to mention the clip contest. So we're doing this contest. I think if people wanna learn about it, I think they go, so if they go to mfmpod.com, they'll see it. If you go to mfmpod.com/clips, you'll for sure see it. MFMPod and you'll see a link. Did you see, so these kids, it's mostly younger kids that are making videos where basically the contest, by the way, is you chop up these videos. So just go to our YouTube page and download the videos and chop it up and put it on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, whatever. And if you use a certain hashtag, MFMClips, we'll find you and we're gonna get five grand to some of our favorite clips.

**Sam Parr** (2:46)
Yeah, there's already some amazing things. So I saw a few TikToks that were already past, I think, 100,000 views. So their TikTok account is blowing up just by taking our content and just chopping it up.
And then the guy who did the like South Park looking cartoon thing, that was amazing.

**Shaan Puri** (3:04)
Amazing. It's a young guy named Cory, I followed his account, and he's got like hundreds of thousands of views on a handful of videos. And he launched the videos and like within a day or two, he had all these views. It's wild.
And then the guy who does the cartoon thing, I think he's launching a business and we are his first.

**Sam Parr** (3:21)
Right.

**Shaan Puri** (3:22)
Because I followed his Twitter account and he had zero, it was like zero, zero. So that's amazing.

**Sam Parr** (3:27)
Yeah, anyways, five grand, go take our content, turn it into clips, let it go viral. And yeah, everybody wins.

**Shaan Puri** (3:34)
All right, I've got a few interesting things. You've got many interesting things.
You should go first.

**Sam Parr** (3:39)
I have just straight fire. We might need to split it up into multiple segments or multiple episodes because I just got too much fire for one day myself.

**Shaan Puri** (3:48)
I know what the first one is and I think we should start with that.
