Lunch With A Billionaire, Fierce Nerds, And D2C IQ Tests

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.

Here he goes. Seven of the eight richest people in the world right now or in America right now are fierce nerds, right? So you have like Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Elon Musk. Like you have these like these stuff, Jeff Bezos, these types of folks. But also he says intelligence is part of the thing, but fierce nerds are not, they're not winners because they're the smartest of the nerds. In fact, they're usually only moderately intelligent compared to other nerds, but they are way more competitive and impatient than the average nerd.
And this is the difference between basically like who becomes a professor and who becomes like a founder or a great investor or something like that.
All right, in this episode, we're talking about Sam's fight with a bunch of nannies.

**Sam Parr** (1:47)
Yeah, that's a crazy story. That's in the beginning.
Shaan just had lunch with a billionaire. I had dinner with him. That'd be actually a few days before. Super fascinating guy.
We're actually gonna share a couple stories that very few people get to see. I think that's the most interesting part.

**Shaan Puri** (2:01)
We also do a couple ideas. We got an Apple-esque business for bathrooms, and a business around the idea of an IQ test. So that's a little side hustle we got for you. So this got everything. We got frameworks, we got stories, we got ideas, we got it all.

Have you ever seen this meme of like a black guy with a red shirt, like clasping hands with a white guy with a blue shirt, and it's like, we're in this together type of vibe.

**Shaan Puri** (2:28)
It's like the firm handshake meme.

**Sam Parr** (2:30)
Yeah, it's like us versus the world, race, class, it doesn't matter. I just had a real life incident like that happened to me. So I was out, I'm in Brooklyn right now. I was out in this park in front of my house, like doing pushups and setups and just like walking my dog, just hanging out.
And I see this guy, I see like these four nannies, like all sick of daddle out of like an area where they're sitting. And then I see this like dude, who's clearly harassing them, like coming after them.
And I run over there and I'm like, hey, what's going on? And they're like, this guy just like spit on us. He's acting crazy, he's bothering us. And so I give him my dog's leash, because I had my dog with me and I go, hey, hold my dog for me. And we, I walked over and I start talking to the guy to get him to go away.
And then like, it's like, oh, this is clearly gonna become a fist fight. And then like five other guys who are all around the street. These guys just like basically sit on the block all day. I don't know what they do. But like one dude was like a Dominican dude. Another guy was a black guy. We are all, and I'm sitting there shirtless in bright green running shorts with a fanny pack on, with AirPods still in my ear.
And we just like corral these women, these four is like a Jamaican nanny. It was like an Asian nanny, an older white woman. It looks like, and it's like, we are all just like corralling these guy or these nannies in this like circle. And we're just standing there like an elephant guarding its herd, you know what I'm saying? And it was like, it was like the real life meme of us coming together. And at the end, the crazy person, he walked away and we just look at each other like, job well done. You know, just like, who cares about our backgrounds? Who cares what we look like? We just, we're champions of the nannies.
