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 almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. There's so much talent being sucked into this thing. These guys are gonna build things that actually have use cases. It's actually gonna make it all work.
You can't have this much talent, spend all day thinking about this and building in this and have nothing come from it.

**Sam Parr** (1:30)
All right, we're live, what's going on?

**Shaan Puri** (1:32)
I'm self-conscious now, because we're blowing up on TikTok. I just look at myself, I'm like, I should have shaved, and now that I have to see myself, and I see people, and also the TikTok comments are brutal.
They're good, but they, you know, they're like, just want to argue with every point that gets made.

**Sam Parr** (1:50)
So let's talk about this.

**Shaan Puri** (1:51)
Now when I see myself, I'm like, shit, this is going on TikTok, I better, I need to shave for the next one.

**Sam Parr** (1:55)
So basically, 10 days ago, or 15 days ago, something like that, like not long ago, we told everyone that we're going to do this contest where we're going to give $5,000 to like three people who take our clips and turn them into videos. The best people are on TikTok. So I actually posted the tags down there for you. So I must have made a mistake. I told people to say, to use the hashtag MFMclips, but then I also, I must have said clip as well without the S. And so people are using two hashtags, clips and clip, MFMclip and MFMclips, and some aren't using both.
But if you use those links I showed you, we have in the ballpark of around 15-ish million impressions from these videos, and it's mostly young folks who created these TikTok handles from scratch, took our content and some videos have over a million.
Some of them have hundreds of thousands of likes.

**Shaan Puri** (2:53)
They're great, and do you read the comments?

**Sam Parr** (2:56)
No, what do they say? Do they make fun of us?

**Shaan Puri** (2:58)
So any content creator, you go through the cycle of like you get excited, then you read the comment, and the early comments are good, and then the more popular you get, the comments start to turn mean, and then you just, everybody reaches a point where they, oh no, then the third phase is you say you don't read the comments, but you secretly do, and then finally, whatever, these are the seven stages of grief or something, social media grief, you finally stop reading the comments, because you're like, this is just too toxic. So yeah, they basically just shit on us for whatever we say. Like if we say, you put down 20% to buy a house, then all the comments are about ways that you can, oh, you can also not put down 20% if you do this, this and this. It's like, all right, okay, TikTok commenter, you got me. You are smarter than us. You are gonna constantly find some like edge case, loophole or mistake in what was said.

**Sam Parr** (3:48)
Do they make fun of how we look or talk or anything? Like they insult us?

**Shaan Puri** (3:52)
No, they don't really. They're either like, these guys are annoying. Like they'll be like, let's say somebody cuts a clip of one of us breaking down, you know, our monthly expenses or something like that. And then the comment will just, but they don't know like the vibe of the pod. They don't know why someone would just say that out of the blue, right? It's not something that people normally talk about.
