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.

**Colby** (1:10)
Hey Sam and Shaan, this is Colby from Woodbridge, Virginia.
It seems like you guys are always finding cool stuff, whether that's media or cool tools. So anyway, my question is, what have you been into recently? Thanks.

**Shaan Puri** (1:24)
Okay, so the question of the one question Friday we got was basically around what are just random, we seem to be into really random things.
What are some of these random things that we're really into right now? Stuff that we really like. It could be a podcast, it could be a video, it could be a book, it could be an app or a tool, anything like that. What are we into? It's kind of like our info diet or the tools in our tool belt that we really like right now. So Sam, what do you got?

**Sam Parr** (1:52)
All right, I'll write off all three of mine because they're all related. So the first one, both of these might sound, all three might sound a little obvious, but hear me out. So YouTube premium, are you a subscriber to YouTube premium?

**Shaan Puri** (2:03)
I am a long time YouTube premium subscriber.

**Sam Parr** (2:06)
Most people aren't. And so I actually unsubscribed from Spotify. So I don't use paid Spotify anymore. I only use YouTube. And the reason being is, A, I watch all my TV on there, but B, you can listen to any music and they make playlists for you. And then you can lock your phone and put it in your pocket and you could listen to music, playlists. And it's way better than Spotify because they have live versions and like unreleased versions and like illegal stuff, you know, like things that were like, you know, aren't copyrighted, things like that. So I like YouTube premium. The second one, do you ever listen to Audible?

**Shaan Puri** (2:33)
I am not an audiobook guy. I always found it boring and a little slow. I kind of tuned it out.

**Sam Parr** (2:38)
So there's this thing called Audible Originals. So first of all, there's Audible Plus, which is if you pay for it, you get all these free audiobooks. So I'm always clicking around, but they've got some that are as short as 30 minutes. So like short stories or like a short like class, but then they have Audible Originals and they'll do like courses. Remember YouTube or iTunes University? It's almost like that. So they like put like whole like Stanford lectures. So I just click on one of the lectures and listen for a few minutes on Audible Originals or they do this other thing where they have these like huge productions where it's an audio book, but there's like famous actors and multiple of them. So it's almost like a play or a movie, but audible only. And it's free if you're a subscriber. So I like that. And the last thing all related, have you ever used the app Libby? Have you heard of Libby?

**Shaan Puri** (3:21)
Never heard of this.

**Sam Parr** (3:22)
Do you have a library card?

**Shaan Puri** (3:24)
No.

**Sam Parr** (3:25)
Okay, so if you go to your local library and you get a card, which is free, you can enter in your library card to this app called Libby and you can access unlimited amounts of eBooks and audiobooks so long as the library in your town has it. Wait, what?
