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 what they're doing is they basically take like a vacant property, same thing as the Spirit Store. They take a vacant property and they say, hey, we'll cut you a check for 10, 15 grand if we can use your house, right? Or they'll rent a property or they'll find a vacant property.
And they basically just use it for the month. They have this operational thing where they can just spin up the haunted house and then they charge like 40 bucks to enter. And you could sort of do the math and realize, man, they're probably making half a million to a million dollars in about a month.

Troll of the Year. We haven't even done our Milly Awards for the end of the year thing that we always do.
I'm calling it out. The Troll of the Year.

Give the background.

**Shaan Puri** (1:50)
So, Elon takes over Twitter. I guess the purchase went through. I feel like there was never confirmation. He actually wired the money. He just literally showed up at the office.

**Sam Parr** (1:58)
Yeah, there hasn't been a proper ribbon-cutting moment. It was more like a swatter.

**Shaan Puri** (2:03)
He just went into the office, and they're like, I guess you own it now. You seem to be here.
Yeah, it's mine. Like, playground rules. Like, wow, that's all it took to have Twitter?

**Sam Parr** (2:18)
Have you ever heard of like a coup, like a coup d'etat, like with governments? You know, I read a lot of-

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
Yeah, they're pretty coup.

**Sam Parr** (2:26)
I read a lot of history jokes, or history jokes. I read a lot of history books about whatever, and they talk about like a coup, and I'm like, so you literally just like walked into the White House, and you just said like, you know, this is mine, and like the general has promised me that he's gonna convince these soldiers to attack. You know what I mean? It's like an interesting concept. You're like, so it's all just made up, I guess. Like these rules that we live by, this is fiction. And that's kind of like what I felt like he did. He just walked, he was like, well, I own this now. Thank you.

Have you seen, you know, Derek Lewis, the UFC fighter, have you seen that compilation of his thing where he says, just get up?
No. So they're like, Derek, you're a big knockout artist, but the knock on you has always been, what if you get into a wrestling thing? How's your jiu-jitsu, are you training?
Jiu-jitsu ain't real, man. And they're like, what? And he's like, man, you don't need jiu-jitsu, just get up.
And they're like, he's like, why, I don't want to stay on the ground with another man between my legs. No, I'm not into that. I'm not going to do jiu-jitsu, I'm just going to get up. And they're like, but you need jiu-jitsu to get up. He's like, no, I'm just going to get up. And so then there's a clip of him saying that. And then there's like a six-minute compilation of literally somebody takes him down. He doesn't do jiu-jitsu, he just stands back up. He's so powerful. That's how I feel. That's what Elon Musk did. He's like, no, just walk in. Yeah, take it.
