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.
People DM us a lot of interesting ideas. My reply to all of them, they go, what do you think about this? I always reply with two things.
I always say it's an amazing idea. And then I say, when are you launching?

**Sam Parr** (1:24)
All right, let's start the episode here.

**Shaan Puri** (1:26)
All right, well, I've got actually two interesting things to tell you. The first, this company reached out. It's a famous publication that you know of, and I don't want to say it out loud yet, but they want us to go to Baja, Mexico to ride motorcycles and film a series on like a weekend adventures. Are you interested in that?

**Sam Parr** (1:47)
What for? Like, what's the catch? You want me to come out here and surf and ride motorcycles?
What's in it for you?

**Shaan Puri** (1:53)
They just had, I guess I could talk about it. I haven't asked if I could talk about it. It's just like, it's a, without giving too much weight, they have just a web series that goes in like on TV. It gets for web and TV. They have a TV channel and they have this whole series where they, it's all about like nine to five workers, like normal yuppie jobs. And you have adventures Friday to Sunday.
So like, what all can you do on a weekend?

**Sam Parr** (2:17)
Okay, all right. That seems super up your alley and kind of up my alley too, but you know, that's that's their suggestion.

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
Do you have a better idea on like a weekend adventure? It's an adventure publication.

**Sam Parr** (2:28)
Yeah, I don't do motorcycles. That's my only thing. I don't do motorcycles. And after Kobe, I also don't do helicopters, but I love surfing. Surfing is a cool thing. I suck at it, but it's fun. So I would do that.

**Shaan Puri** (2:38)
Well, if you come up with a better idea, then then pitch it. But they like it's all paid for and everything.

**Sam Parr** (2:45)
Oh, okay, great. Yeah, let's do that. Why not?
Look at your fitness influencer life is already coming in handy.

**Shaan Puri** (2:52)
So you what I wanted to talk about was you're getting really fit to do you. And I think it's pretty inspiring coming from a fitness influencer, coming from an influencer like you, the fitness world.

**Sam Parr** (3:03)
That means a lot to me.

**Shaan Puri** (3:05)
Hardly. But do you so do you think it's do you have you has your body or I know your body has changed as your brain change, do you think, and your attitude?

**Sam Parr** (3:13)
Of course, that changes first, right? Yeah, the attitude changes first. The brain changes first. The body changes slowly over time. But yeah, for sure. But I like, OK, if people if I took off my shirt, nobody's going to be super impressed with me just yet.
But I'm pretty impressed with me. And that's kind of my own opinion. I hold a higher regard than anyone else's. So, yeah, basically, I went from like kind of like I don't know.
Was I would you be like, he's fat? Would fat was I fat? I might have been fat.
