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.

He tells me, he's like, you know, I just expanded the vision for what I'm doing. He goes, this is eventually going to be the next BlackRock, bigger than BlackRock. I think I can be a trillionaire in the next 50 years.

**Sam Parr** (1:14)
Oh my gosh. All right, what's going on?

**Shaan Puri** (1:30)
Not too much, dude. Is the last episode the Ryan Holiday one?

**Sam Parr** (1:35)
Yeah, what did you think?

**Shaan Puri** (1:37)
I wanted to debrief that real quick because I thought he was really great. I think I said this, maybe, I don't know if this was on air or if this was afterwards, but he felt to me like one of the happier, more calm and peaceful people that we've ever had on the show.
He just had this vibe about him like he wasn't, like a lot of people come on the show and they're trying to put on a show. They are trying to perform or they're trying to kind of play up something that they're trying to sell you on something. They're trying to present themselves as bigger than they are. And that's not just on the show, this is life. Or you meet somebody and they're kind of like, they have the disease of more, more, more, more. And I know it because I have it myself in many ways where I kind of want more success, more whatever.
And I just felt like he was a guy who was curious about certain things, liked to do certain things, but didn't have this like, he didn't seem like an itchy person, didn't seem like there's all these itches across his body that he was trying to scratch. He seemed at ease. And I thought that was just like one thing that, I don't know if it comes across on a podcast because you're listening to it or you see the guy, you don't necessarily pick that up, but that was the one thing that stood out to me.

**Sam Parr** (2:48)
I think he's really like that.
I've been friendly with him. I wouldn't say we're like close friends, but friendly for a couple of years now, but Neville and Noah are all really good friends with him. And they said that he pretty much just stays at home most of the time. And if you wanna see him, you gotta drive out to his farm and he's a homebody and he just knows what he likes and he does it.

**Shaan Puri** (3:09)
Yeah, and I thought it was interesting because his reputation, at least for me in my head, the image I had in my head was this guy's like this internet marketer, growth hacker, which is usually one breed of person.
And then, he's an author and then he has like, but his books are all about kind of interesting things. He's not writing boring, normal, calm books. He's writing conspiracy and how the media is messed up. And then like, trust me, I'm lying, like these provocative books. And then he had The Daily Stoic and I was like, oh, okay, reminded me a little bit of like Tim Ferriss, I think is kind of like this, where Tim Ferriss started off, you know, selling brain supplements, which is again, like an internet marketer type of thing. You know, it comes with a certain package to create a brain supplement company.
