All right, everyone, we have a quick ad for HubSpot. Sales super teams aren't built overnight. They require unicorn level talent, endless training, huge budgets, and lots of luck.
Or you could just use Sales Hub from HubSpot. It's an all-in-one platform built with all the tools for your success.
Smarter prospecting, check. Faster revenue, yup. Scales with your team, sure does. But in Sam's speak, I'm gonna put it way simpler. Just go to hubspot.com/sales, and it will make selling easier, faster and more efficient. hubspot.com/sales.

But I thought his approach was smart and one that people should take, which is he goes, right now there's like five million people who collect sports cards. My question when we bought Tops was, how do we get 50 million or 500 million people to collect? And like, that's the only game I wanna play, is expanding the total size of this market from five million people who do this thing to 50 million people who do this thing.
Dude, I listened back to our last episode, the drunken episode. It was good. We were funny. People liked it.

**Sam Parr** (1:13)
I've heard that.
What did you think was fun? Here's so for the listener.

**Shaan Puri** (1:16)
I listened to the whole episode. Imagine how good it must have been for me to listen, sit through the cringe of my own voice.

**Sam Parr** (1:21)
Well, for people listening, people will usually message Shaan and I together, but sometimes separate, and they say, I liked this episode.
And the response that we always have is why? What did you like about it? What part?

**Shaan Puri** (1:34)
We fish. We fish hard for that compliment.

**Sam Parr** (1:37)
Well, no, I mean, it's not rooted in.

**Shaan Puri** (1:40)
It's rooted in.

**Sam Parr** (1:40)
I was like, well, we need to do more. What was funny?

**Shaan Puri** (1:45)
I think I literally came across as sort of like giggly drunk.
The whole episode, I was already, I just felt like I was having a good time. Watching myself have a good time made me have more fun. And the second was y'all's reactions were really good. So I'd pitch a kind of harebrained idea. And then your reaction was on point. And then Ben came in with like, not like reasonable calm Ben. Ben was like, that is a terrible idea. Or he was like, no, Sam, you're dead wrong. This is a great idea. Imagine crawling onto this big ass bed and blah, blah, blah. He really played into it.
So I think it just had good energy and good vibes.

**Sam Parr** (2:21)
That's good.
Yeah, we had people reach out to us about it. So that's good.

**Shaan Puri** (2:25)
So I'm gonna try to maintain that.
Dude, right before this, I was watching, you saw Mr. Beast went on Joe Rogan. I don't know if you caught the episode at all.

**Sam Parr** (2:33)
I didn't, just a couple of the clips where they said like, what do you do with your money? And he's like, not much. He goes, I used to have a roommate up until recently and we each split our place for $700, but I got a fancier place because someone broke into my house. So I needed like some security, but it's still like pretty normal of a house.

**Shaan Puri** (2:48)
Yeah, I didn't see that. So I've only seen one clip and it was basically the clip of like, how did you make it on YouTube?
It's a great clip, right? Like it's-
So he goes, so he's 23 now and he goes, I started doing this when I was 11
And Joe's like, what? 11? He's like, yeah. He's like, I came home and he's like, I started doing this when I was 11
And he's like, I sucked obviously at the beginning. He's like, so he's like, he's like, look at me now. I don't look cool now. Like imagine me at like 12 Like I was like, you know, pimply, you know, pimply face, scrawny, awkward, mumbly kind of guy. And like, here I am trying to like make videos. And he's like, back then also YouTube really, there wasn't a thing like YouTubers, wasn't like a thing 12, 13 years ago, you know? So it's like, he's like, yeah, I just was doing it cause I liked it. He goes, I hated school. He's like, I never, he's like, in high school, I just never even brought a book home. Like he's like, I remember doing zero studying. My parents got so mad at me. He's like, and then like when I turned 18, he's like, he's like, basically his, his, his win, it went in three phases. He goes from 11 to 13, I was trying to make videos, but I was like super embarrassed cause they were so bad. And Joe's like, are they, do they still exist? He goes, no, I deleted my channel when I turned 13 Cause like, I got like, I don't know, like bullied in school a little bit. I felt embarrassed. So I deleted all those videos, but I like started fresh again at 13 and like, whatever it kept going. He's like, so then from 13 to like 17 or 18, I was just trying to make like videos all the time. Because my first video randomly got like 20,000 views. He's like, that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I got like this instant hit and I was hooked. And then like, it didn't happen again for a while, but like that first one, which was about like, he like hacked some video game. Like here's how to beat this level in a video game or whatever.
