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. Dude, that's crazy that that mistake. That's a $10 million mistake.
Andrew, what's going on, dude?
Are you pumped to do that?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:21)
I'm really, yeah, I'm excited. I worked out this morning and feel good. It's a nice sunny day. We had a big dump of snow here, which is actually incredibly rare.
Usually it never goes below freezing.
So yeah, it's nice.

**Sam Parr** (1:34)
What'd you do, play?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:35)
No, I actually went on my treadmill. I started, it's weird. I was kind of feeling a little low energy over Christmas, and I realized it just hadn't worked out. And so I was like, oh, I'll take, am I eating the right thing? Am I doing the right routines? Am I doing my gratitude journal?

**Shaan Puri** (1:48)
Sam can't relate.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:49)
What supplements am I taking?

**Shaan Puri** (1:51)
He's never had that feeling.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (1:51)
And then I just worked out. I just realized like working out is all you need to do.

**Sam Parr** (1:58)
There's a great quote. It's in this book I was reading called The Body, and it basically said like, if we could put in pill form all the benefits that exercise gives you, it would be the most successful medicine of all time. And the whole point of the book was, it was called The Body by Bill Burson.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (2:17)
Bill Burson, I love that book.

**Sam Parr** (2:20)
And he's like, basically like sleep and exercise are the cure to most everything.

**Andrew Wilkinson** (2:25)
Yeah, it's crazy. I love his writing.
He's great.

**Sam Parr** (2:29)
Do we wanna get into this, Shaan?

**Shaan Puri** (2:30)
Yeah, let's do it. We did this last year, and I think it was probably my favorite episode last year. We called it the Milly Awards. We did an awards ceremony at the end of the year. Andrew came on and we did it in 2020 at the end of the year. And I actually went back and I listened to it, which is cringy to listen to your own voice recorded, but it was a really entertaining episode. And we made a bunch of predictions. I actually even kind of noted some of them down. I don't know if you guys saw that, like some of the things that we had said last year.
And so we're gonna do it again, and we're gonna try to make this an annual tradition. We'll see how it goes.
And all right, so without further ado, here we are, the 2021 Milly Awards. We are back and the way it works, so we've got a bunch of different categories. The three of us did our research, did our thinking about who we think is the winner for each. We did not tell each other, did not show each other.
So if we have the same answer, it's just coincidence, great minds think alike, and we're gonna react to kind of how each one goes. And I have a little side game here, which I'm gonna play. I have this little notepad.
I'm just gonna kind of take notes of who I think wins each category in terms of their answer. So we'll see who brings the heat during this thing. I got Sam, I got Shaan, I got Andrew. I'll put a little tally for, and I'm the only judge, or you guys can chime in on that, but I'm just gonna keep note of how we do for this whole episode. All right, so did I miss anything, Sam? Are we good to go?
