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. 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.

It's sort of like, if you look at what do our, what do our rich friends do now, that's not common. And then that's just gonna become like, like more people are gonna do that thing.

**Shaan Puri** (1:24)
What's going on? So did you see Andrew Huberman replying to my tweet?

**Sam Parr** (1:30)
Yeah, I did.

**Shaan Puri** (1:32)
I feel like kind of giddy a little bit.

**Sam Parr** (1:34)
I feel a little honored.

**Shaan Puri** (1:36)
Yeah, do you feel, I mean, it's kind of cool to interact with him, right?

**Sam Parr** (1:40)
Yeah, I think he's great. I just think he's really great.
Like the cool part about this podcast is that we, me and you get to hang out often. And then once in a while, like there's a bunch of guests, I would say for all the guests, I like them all, but maybe two out of every 10, I'm like, oh, this person, they're my kind of people. I just really get along with them and I really respect what they're doing. And he's definitely one of those people.

**Shaan Puri** (2:03)
So hear me out.
I think that we should get... Okay, so you have to go somewhere on Wednesday.
And so I went and found a guest. Tell me what you think about this guest. And then when I got this person, I realized we should do this way often, way more. So I met this guy and he has his business. That's like a fine local services business in California. And I go, what did you used to do? And he goes, I was in the CIA. I go, what did you do there? And he said, I would go to the Middle East and I would try to get people to commit treason. And I would do it by trying to influence them and persuade them and basically give me secrets so we could do espionage. And I was like, that's the most amazing thing I've ever heard. Can you tell me everything? And I just sat down for like an hour and I asked him questions.
And I asked him to come in the podcast.

**Sam Parr** (2:49)
That's the podcast or that was pre-pod?

**Shaan Puri** (2:52)
And so I go, dude, you just want to come out and tell me all these, he told me stories about being in like an alley in Lebanon, trying to get some person to show up and the way that he convinced, he's got all these like weird stories and it's about persuasion and influence and shit. And I realized, I'm like, Shaan and I should just start doing that way more, just getting people who are interested in, regardless if it has to do with money or not.

**Sam Parr** (3:15)
Yeah, yeah, I think that's cool. I met a guy once who was using our product and we held a meetup and like, I think 200 people flew to our office and it was a big party basically.
And there's this guy and he was like, he was always very mysterious because our product was kind of like clubhouse. So you could just kind of sit there, hang out all day and just chat.
It was always online. And I was like, oh, so you like don't work or what's the deal? Like you're always online doing this. He's like, oh yeah, I'm like in between, you know, gigs. And I was like, I'm unemployed. I didn't really think too much of it. But when he showed up, I was like, I noticed two things. One is the guy was incredibly muscular. Like, you know, I kind of like bumped into him and it was like, I hit a rock. And I was like, oh, that was so strange, but he wasn't trying to look super fit. But I could tell, it's like, you know, one of those people that like, they could do 90,000 pull-ups. It's like, oh, your core is just incredibly, you're just, your whole body's made of muscle.
