The Business of Strip Clubs, Black Friday Boycott, and Three Twitter Scenarios

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, we're live. Shaan, you look nice.
We're both updating our studios. Looks like yours got done first.

**Shaan Puri** (1:09)
Yeah, sorry to steal the show, but we switched it already. So I don't know what else to do.
The grand reveal would have been cooler if we both did it at the same time, but whatever.

**Sam Parr** (1:20)
Well, that's all right. Yours isn't entirely done. Mine's getting worked on this weekend. Dude, so basically for the listeners, we're making our studios look nice, whatever.
And it's like totally limiting my options for like my lifestyle. Like, I'm now thinking about this. I'm like, oh shit, I need a bigger house so I can have like, you know, a guest room as well as a podcasting room, as well as like potential baby rooms. It's like, what if you want to travel this freaking podcast? It's not easy to be a podcaster.
No, like, poor me. I can't travel for two months at a time.

**Shaan Puri** (1:58)
Or you can just do it in both houses.

**Sam Parr** (2:00)
Dude, I'm thinking about like my lifestyle and like where I want to live, which I've talked about a lot on here.
I don't know what to do. I don't know where I'm going to end up. I don't know what I'm going to do. It's driving me mad.

**Shaan Puri** (2:13)
Yeah, by the way, we should do a episode that explains how we thought through, when we do the full studio, when the whole thing's done, like mine's like, you know, 70% done, yours is 0% done so far. When we're done, we should do an episode explaining, you know, how we thought about it, how we did it without a big headache, all the shit we bought, how much it all cost.
We should do a full breakdown as a separate like video on YouTube.

**Sam Parr** (2:37)
All right, I'm down. Yeah, we got to, and we'll pimp out the guy who did it, Kevin.
Yeah, for sure. But yeah, we could do that.

**Shaan Puri** (2:43)
Okay, cool. Let's jump in. What topics you got? You want to go first?

**Sam Parr** (2:47)
All right, I'll start off with something interesting. I want to give an award that I'm calling the Chad Bro Chill Award to this guy named Eric Langan.
So listen to this guy's story. I just randomly came across this because my friend Alex showed it to me. But it's kind of like a true Ragnar Rich's American Dream story. So hear me out. So this guy named Eric, he's 21 years old and he starts dating this woman and she sees that her place of work is not exactly treating her respectfully. And he says, you know, where should this woman works? I think this is an interesting business. And I think if I created a business that treated my employees a little bit better, I think I could retain them better and build a better business.
So he's 21 years old. Somehow he's accumulated all these really nice baseball cards over the past 10 years of collecting. He takes them to a convention. He sells his baseball cards and he now has $44,000 in cash. And he goes, I'm gonna go and start my business. And what is that business? It's a strip club. He was dating a stripper.
