The Annual Milly Awards: The Winners, The Losers And Everything In Between - With Andrew Wilkinson

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
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.

All right, so this is the third time we're doing this. It's the best pod of the year, the season finale. It is called the Milly Awards. It's our annual awards show.
We did it the first time, I think, Improv'd, or like pretty close to it. We did it just like kind of on a whim. People loved it, so we brought it back, and now we're bringing it back again. And it's basically, it's our awards, so we do categories like Billy of the Year, Breakout Company or Person, our favorite unsexy business, our own best investments and our own worst investments, things like that.
So I'm excited. I already got the sort of season finale vibes, and I'm excited for this. You want to say anything, Sam, before we start?

**Sam Parr** (1:51)
Did you look, you look like you drive a white G-Wagon right now. I can't believe how fast you've gone from Indian to Persian.

**Shaan Puri** (1:59)
I look like my mistress drives a white G-Wagon.

**Sam Parr** (2:05)
You went from nerdy Indian to alpha Persian with just one jacket. And that's kind of amazing how that's happened.

**Shaan Puri** (2:12)
I've never sold a rug, but I feel like I could right now. And did you guys, you guys, let's see, Sam, you didn't get the memo about dressing up. Andrew, are you your mic?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (2:26)
He's a blazer.

**Shaan Puri** (2:27)
Yeah, you're blazed up.

**Sam Parr** (2:28)
Did you guys bring a cardigan, bro?

**Shaan Puri** (2:31)
You always wear a cardigan. You always have like, you know, modern grandma style.

**Sam Parr** (2:36)
But I'm I'm I'm I'm at a guest place. You know, I'm on an Airbnb. I got to do what I get to do. I didn't bring a break. I didn't bring my Persian apparel. I'm sorry. All right.

**Shaan Puri** (2:44)
Well, guys, cheers to a great year, a crazy year.
I have I don't know what's in everybody's cup here. So, Sam, you're a classic Midwestern cola kind of guy. You probably say cola, don't you?

**Sam Parr** (2:58)
No, but I am drinking a Coke.

**Shaan Puri** (3:00)
There's a great map where it's like some people say pop. Some people say cola. Some people say a little soda or something like that. I feel like you might be a pop guy.
Andrew, what you got in the cup?

**Andrew Wilkinson** (3:09)
I've got a AeroPressed coffee in a tiny mug.

**Shaan Puri** (3:14)
Bro, you just brought to you. You just sponsored this whole pod just now. That was slick.
I have a very frigid, cold water with fresh lemon juice inside. Maybe I'm starting to cleanse. I saw a great tweet. He goes, I don't cleanse. I clog. And I thought that's pretty good. You're on a juice cleanse. I'm on a cheese clog. All right. So cheers to you guys. 20 million downloads this year for the podcast, which is, I think, six times bigger than last year.
Maybe four or five times. I might have my math wrong there, but I think YouTube is up 6X and the pod is up 4X or something like that.
Big year for us, which is fun. And Andrew, you are the most frequent guest. You're the most favorite guest. And so it is only right to have you here. All right. So without further ado, should we jump in to the categories? We're going to go. I'll announce the category, I think. And then we go kind of round robin.
