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.
All right, let's do this. I've got a few things to talk about, but first, Shaan, let's talk to Ben.
Ben had a big night.

**Shaan Puri** (1:17)
Why are we even talking?
We are now the sideshow. We're the openers, actually. For the main event, Ben, Ben made event Wilson. What's up, dude? How are you feeling?

**Sam Parr** (1:29)
Well, let's set the stage here.

**Shaan Puri** (1:30)
We're not even gonna tell him why. We're just gonna hype it up.

**Sam Parr** (1:33)
So here's the setup. Shaan and I were chilling last night, and we get a text from Ben, and he says, hey, look who just followed me. And it was Mr. Beast. And I think it's, so for context, everyone, Ben is our producer here. Ben has a podcast called How to Take Over the World.
It's fairly popular, but growing quickly. So your Twitter only has like a thousand or two thousand followers, right?

**Ben Wilson** (2:00)
Four thousand.

**Sam Parr** (2:00)
Four thousand, so we get this message and you said, hey, look who just started following me. And it was Mr. Beast.
And Shaan and I made fun of you saying like, you know, that's nothing, no big deal. Then you sent a text message to us saying, been on the phone with them for the past hour and a half.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:18)
And we were like, wait, what?

**Sam Parr** (2:19)
And we don't really know, we don't know anything else. So of course there's gotta be some stuff here that you can't talk about, but what happened?

**Ben Wilson** (2:29)
Yeah, so I got back from Utah with my in-laws on Saturday. So I was like feeling a little jet lagged. I was about to go to bed early, getting into bed with my wife.
And I looked down at my phone and I've got a notification, it says Mr. Beast followed you. And my first thought is like, oh yeah, Mr. Beast followed me. Like Mr. Underscore Beast, hey, give me my social security number and I'll Venmo you $5,000. So I literally, I saw it and I just put down my phone and like keep just like chatting with my wife or whatever.
And then I pick it up five minutes later and I look at it and I go, I actually don't see an underscore. I don't see anything wrong with this. And I click on it and it's verified and it's Mr. Beast. And he just followed me. And I was like, oh, that's weird. Like you said, I only have 4,000 followers. Like it's not a normal thing for like, I just pick up Mr. Beast. And then I get a DM like two minutes later and he's like, hey, I listened to your podcast. I think it's cool. I would love to chat sometime. I don't want anything from you. I just like wanna learn.
And I was like, so I respond, I say, cool. Yeah, let's talk anytime. I'm free anytime you wanna talk next week.

**Shaan Puri** (3:37)
You sound like you're playing it cool, but inside, what's going on?

**Ben Wilson** (3:41)
Yeah, so inside I was like, actually even outside, I was like, my wife is Katie. I was like, Katie, Katie, Katie? Once it starts happening and she was like, what? And I was like, Mr. Beast is following me. She's like, what's a Mr. Beast?
