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. 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.

What is it about this writing style that's so slippery that I just can't get, it's like a TikTok feed. I can't get out of it, you know? And so I would say it's like more like a door where you kind of got to go knock and take a leap of faith that there is something on the other side of this. You can't see exactly what you're gonna get until the door opens.

We're live, cool sweatshirt. What's going on?

Oh, dude, I already told you, I couldn't, I can't talk about it on air, but I am, you know, there's some days where a fire, there's a fire on the third floor, and you got to grab the extinguisher and go put it out. And so that's what I've been doing today, is putting out, and I'm glad that I did this, which is we had a bunch of family coming in town for Thanksgiving.
Wife was like, oh yeah, it's great. We got my sister coming, we got this person coming.
This person's coming from India. I was like, oh god, okay. She's like, you know, we should host Thanksgiving. I said, you know, I love the giving spirit. I love the idea, but we're not hosting anything on Thanksgiving. Why? Because we have an e-commerce company and Black Friday is the biggest sales day of the year. And she said, well, what are we gonna do? Like, you know, it's just gonna sell online. Like, we're not gonna go to the warehouse or something and go fulfill it. You know, so what are we gonna do? I said, sometimes you gotta create space because you just wanna be available.
You wanna have buffer. You don't want to be fully booked in case you need to do it. Maybe you have an idea that something you can do to drive sales or in this case, what if shit absolutely hit the fan and you had to do something to recover, which is exactly what happened today.
I created space. My COO was like, oh, I'm just gonna go pick this person up from the airport that day. It should be no problem. Guess what? She's in the car, the shit's hitting the fan and she can't get to a computer and she did not create enough space. And so that was a great lesson.

**Sam Parr** (2:54)
That's an evolution for you because you are not the man at creating space.

**Shaan Puri** (2:57)
I was not a space creator.
That's come with some gray hairs and wisdom is this idea. So I'm glad I did it because shit's hitting the fan today. And I'm just hoping that, I told you before this, I'm hoping that my safety, my savings, my under the mattress savings of good luck needs to be cashed in today. I'm reaching under the mattress. I'm hoping it's still there. I feel like I put it there.
I'm hoping that good luck is still there. And I need it today.

Well, okay, so I've got, so what we're gonna, we're gonna talk about products and media that we like. But, and I have a couple, I got one thing in particular that's gonna make a difference on your day today, actually.
