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.

So I got asked this question. This guy was like, hey, he DM'd me, he goes, Shaan, big fan, whatever the next sentence you type to me, I'm gonna do it or I'll die trying. And I was like, okay. And then he's like, I'm gonna get to $10,000 a month of passive income profits after, you know, and you know, I'm thinking either A, I start a newsletter, B, I do this other thing. And it was like all like, kind of like stuff we do, either stuff we do or like topics we talk about, e-commerce, newsletter, or this other thing. Which one do you think is gonna get me there the fastest or the best? Like which one's the best path?
And I was like, I don't know, dude, those all seem pretty hard to get to 10K a month. Like, you know, if I want it, if your goal is really 10K a month, you know, I don't know, a job will probably get you there. But if let's take that off the table for a second, let's assume you don't want a job or you don't have maybe the degree to get a six figure job.
I was like, I would just do a productized service.

**Sam Parr** (2:06)
Dude, Shaan, so here's the deal. We are officially more, we're popular enough that you have to get your podcast set up right. So what I'm gonna do is, I talked to Ben, we're having someone come to your house and my house, and they're gonna put a two camera set up.
So they're gonna like cut back and forth, but you've gotta make that, and they'll help you, but you're gonna have to make that room look good, and it's gonna be ready every time.

**Shaan Puri** (2:31)
Dude, that's great.
Also related to that, I found a new house that I might move into that's way nicer, and I was like, my main motivation was to make this podcast look better. I was like, you know, I kind of look like a scrub on this podcast. Like, you know, like right now, I don't have my haircut, don't have a beard trim, don't have my room nice. I was like, if 100,000 plus people consume this every time, like I would never go out in front of a stadium like this. Like, I wouldn't even let three friends come to my house and look at my office like this. Why do I let 100,000 people see the office, see the recordings do like this? Simply for convenience. But there's that. Also, I found on, I've ever used Peerspace. It's like a Airbnb for rentals that are not houses, like not necessarily houses to stay in. It's like just for a venue.
And there's a place near me for 75 bucks an hour for recording podcasts. That's like a two camera setup with a sick couch and stuff like that. It'd be great for in-person stuff, but if we're not in person, you know, it's just me sitting on a giant couch.

**Sam Parr** (3:33)
I'm gonna do it. I'll come out there and we'll finally do it. Ben wanted me to come out there, but I didn't wanna fly, but whatever, I'll do it. I was talking to HubSpot or someone and I was saying like, hey, yeah, give us budget to make our studio nice because we're like the lowest maintenance people you have. I was like, for example, two weeks ago, Sean recorded a podcast with literally just one AirPod because he didn't have a mic and the other AirPod ran out of batteries.
