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.

Mobile podcast and video studio. Buy a few vans, kit them out with a pretty fire setup.
Just in the back of a normal size van, it doesn't even have to be an RV, for two to three people could fit. Deck it out with a few good DSLR cameras that can do the recording, dual camera setups so that you have a few mics hanging off the sides. And basically go and post it up in a couple of major cities, like one van in each major city and rent it out for like 500 bucks for two hours to do podcast recordings or like, you know, a couple of hundred bucks to do like people going in and filming Instagram shorts, TikToks, shit like that. Like if you put one in LA and you put one in New York City, I bet you could kill it.

What's going on, who's the guest, Shaan?

**Shaan Puri** (1:49)
We got Sahil here. The man who answers the question, what would happen if Shaan was better looking, smarter, harder working?
Sahil Bloom is here.

**Sahil Bloom** (1:59)
Definitely not smarter.

**Shaan Puri** (2:02)
Don't dispute those other two.

**Sahil Bloom** (2:04)
I'm just screwing with you. What's up, guys? Happy to be here.

**Shaan Puri** (2:08)
How often do you get your hair cut? Let's start with the most important question.

**Sahil Bloom** (2:13)
Every other week at this point, now my wife is making fun of me for this, because it used to be that I'd go once a month, wasn't a big deal, and now I'm going every other week because I like to keep it tight, and she keeps giving me shit because we have a little newborn at home, and I'm like, oh, I gotta go, gotta go.

**Shaan Puri** (2:29)
As long as you don't call it a hair appointment, that's the only thing you can't do. If you say, I got a hair appointment, then you're out as a guy.

**Sahil Bloom** (2:36)
The place just can't be called a salon. That's always been my rule. It's gotta be a barber shop.

**Sam Parr** (2:40)
You seem like a salon guy, though.

**Sahil Bloom** (2:43)
Look at you, man. You're wearing, you got a Werther sweater on. You look like you're getting ready for Christmas. It's like it's 85 degrees in Austin, Texas today.

**Shaan Puri** (2:50)
Yeah, are we at your like book reading for your book right now? Sam, what are you doing?

**Sahil Bloom** (2:54)
It actually does look like you should have a fireplace in the background and you're going to be like reading us nice stories and a soothing voice.

**Sam Parr** (3:00)
I'm definitely drinking tea right now.
So basically, like your bio is pretty easy. You were a nobody private equity guy. The pandemic hit the pandemic hit. And you're like, I'm going to be somebody in a matter of two years. You've got famous on Twitter. What do we what do we have nine or eight hundred thousand followers? So you got famous on Twitter and basically transformed your life all because of Twitter and covid.
Is that right?

**Sahil Bloom** (3:27)
I mean, the nobody private equity guy designation is not unreasonable.
I mean, that's like I think that's totally fair. I mean, there's a lot of nobody like finance guys that are making bank out there, though, right?
