The Body Stack Episode: What Sam and Shaan Do To Get Healthy And How Much They Spend Doing It

**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.
Like the point of business and money is like to live a really long and good life. And they're really the best way to do that. Money is maybe number two. Number one is just like being fit.
And I wanted to spend 10 minutes talking about my personal, well, I was like, what do engineers say? They say like tech stack, marketing stack. Let's talk about our body stack.

**Shaan Puri** (1:28)
All right, it's Friday, and we're gonna do something a little different. So people know us, they know us for our brains, they know us for our money, but they also know us for our body.
And so me and Sam, we're doing an episode, and for some reason, we got on a 30-minute tangent about fitness as an entrepreneur, fitness as a businessperson, what we do, more specifically, like what's the routines, what are the things that are working for us, what are the tactics, what are the goals we have, things like that. So we decided to make it a separate episode. So this is the body episode of My First Million. Let us know if you like it. Sam, what are they gonna get by listening to this?

**Sam Parr** (2:11)
I name drop lots of products that I pay for. None of these people have paid me.
I'm more than happy to accept payment from them. So if you're, you know, MyFitnessPal, yeah, I use MyFitnessPal, I love it. So if you guys wanna give me some money or-

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
Let's just put it out there. If you are one of these companies or a competitor to one of these companies, pay us.

**Sam Parr** (2:29)
Yeah, willing to be bought.
So anyway, it's a 30 minute episode on, or is it 30, maybe 20 on different fitness stuff and the things that we spend our money on to be fit, which basically is kind of more important than the whole making money thing, because if you're not fit and you're not healthy, you can't really do that thing. So we talked all about it.

**Shaan Puri** (2:47)
As one of our friends, as one of our friends who's, you know, super successful, they've been a guest on the podcast before worth hundreds of millions of dollars, they said this once, and I can't use their name because it's a little not politically correct, but they said this, if you're rich, there's no excuse to be fat.
And they said that because I was like, man, you spend a lot of time like working out, like what are you trying to do here? And they just said like, look, the point of having financial freedom is to be able to spend your time doing things that are like, you know, luxuries, things that like make your life better. And one of the things that makes your life way better is having a good like kind of fitness routine and being a, you know, a healthy fit person. And so that's kind of the idea. Sam is extremely fit. Sam, you're like in the top 0.1% probably of like founders who are fit.

**Sam Parr** (3:36)
Well, yeah, I mean, that's-

**Shaan Puri** (3:37)
I added the founder Venn diagram.

**Sam Parr** (3:38)
Yeah, give me that founder thing. And yeah, we'll definitely go at 0.1%, but you know, that's like, that's an easy game to win maybe.
