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.

So he's written, I think, five or six best-selling business books, nonfiction business books and business life hack type books. And if he was going to do just another one of those, it would have been like, okay, cool. Like, you know, just going back to the, you know, what butter is your bread, right? That's that makes sense. But instead he's like, I'm going to build like a world, like Game of Thrones. He's like, I'm going to build a whole thing like this. Like I want to, it's an entire fantasy world.
All the characters are roosters.
There's eight houses. They compete in the great games and they do this, like, you know, then, you know, there's a war and there's different classes and this, all the, all the things, like if you create like a, a sort of a giant fantasy, like, you know, Tolkien or George RR Martin style thing. And along with it, there's like basically an NFT, which you can buy that basically is not like, it's literally just like you're buying a piece of art and you're buying a ticket into the entertainment of watching him build this world out.
What's up, in this episode, we're talking about hanging out with Tim Ferris, a guy that we've looked up to for a long time, and some of the insights that he shared with us. We talk about meeting a real estate billionaire and his model, how he built from scratch in seven years to about a billion dollars in real estate assets. We talked about the opportunity to build SaaS tools for OnlyFans. You're gonna wanna hear that. And then last but not least, Sam's got a friend who's created his own, I don't know, religion? Sort of like the Amish people who love money.

**Sam Parr** (2:36)
Kind of, it is almost like Amish people who love money. I'm going to this thing. I'm gonna give a big update on it next week. But in this episode, when we start off, I'll tell you a little bit about it. I think you're gonna dig it. But yes, that's the episode. Listen up.
All right, we live.

Can I tell you about an interesting call I had with your old pal, Tim Ferris?

**Sam Parr** (2:55)
I'm so eager to hear this. I only asked you a few questions because I was waiting to hear about this.

**Shaan Puri** (3:00)
So I interviewed Tim Ferris because he's got a new NFT project that came out today or is coming out today.
And so I was like, hey, you should. Yeah, called Cockpunch, right? So I was like, okay, what's that about? And I was like, yo, you should come on the milk road and tell your story and blah, blah, blah. And I've met Tim Ferris one time in my life. You've met him a lot more than that, I think, because he was an investor in the hustle and was kind of lived around the same area as you or whatever. But I've met him one time. And I guess I'll just, I wanna tell you three things. One, it's pretty interesting to meet people who you've really gotten to know through their content.
What was it, the OnlyFans girl who came on here called it the parasocial relationship, where it's like, I feel like I know a lot about you and to you, I'm a complete stranger, but I feel like we're close friends because I know so much about you and you don't even know who the hell I am. That's how I feel with Tim Ferriss.
