The Kanye Episode

**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. Dude, it just comes with the territory. That's how it's when you're in your creative band, you're gonna be crazy.
You gotta accept the craziness.
Do you want to talk about Kanye?

**Shaan Puri** (1:18)
I do want to talk about Kanye.

**Sam Parr** (1:20)
Yeah, so I only watched the first episode because I have this rule. I've got two rules.
The first rule is if there's a movie that involves animals as the protagonist, protagonist, I don't watch it.

**Shaan Puri** (1:33)
I don't know where you're going with this.

**Sam Parr** (1:35)
I don't watch it. I don't watch it. Lion King? I don't watch, the animals always die.
So I don't watch it. I have a rule. I don't want, like, if there's a war movie and it's set in a period where they had horses, like Braveheart or the Patriot, and the horses die in the war, I don't watch it.
I just, it's too much for me. I don't like seeing horses die. I don't like seeing the lion get trampled. I don't watch that shit. The second thing is if it's generally either scary or sad, I don't watch that either. I'm not paying money to get freaked out, right? I'm paying money to be happy.
Yeah, like my life sucks sometimes anyway. I don't need to like, I want to pay money to like make it not suck. So I knew that in episode two, that was when his mom died. So I was like, nope, I'm not going to watch that. So I only watched episode one.

**Shaan Puri** (2:21)
But by the way, I've watched two episodes. His mom doesn't die yet, that part.

**Sam Parr** (2:25)
I thought they made it, they were playing the song, Hey Mama, like over the preview version and I was like, ugh.

**Shaan Puri** (2:30)
So you haven't seen any of the scenes with his mom? Cause those are the best scenes.

**Sam Parr** (2:33)
Though, well, yeah. Where she's like, he's like, I bought a, she's like, you don't own a house, but you bought this chain. And she goes, okay, well you got to.

**Shaan Puri** (2:40)
I like the chain, Kanye, it's nice. This is nice, Kanye.

**Sam Parr** (2:44)
Yeah, she was very supportive of him. Yeah, so I did.

**Shaan Puri** (2:48)
So, dude, okay, so let's talk about the mom. All right, so this Kanye documentary is frankly great. And I'm kind of mad more friends didn't tell me you got to watch this.
Like I can see why maybe some people don't like it, but this is like, this is up my alley. This is my alley.

**Sam Parr** (3:04)
Did you see the idea about how they're basically, it was just a guy, because you asked yourself, why is this?

**Shaan Puri** (3:09)
Where's this footage from?

**Sam Parr** (3:11)
Why is this guy just walking around? Like he's got a cam, it's like a camcorder on his shoulder. Why is this guy with Kanye when he's like on the street? And basically this guy was like, I saw, I forget the movie that he saw. It was called like a, there's a movie where, yeah, Hoop Dreams. It follows four young, like high schooler kids or eighth grade kids. He's like, let's see if they're gonna make it to the NBA. And he's like, I was inspired by that. And I thought Kanye was gonna be famous. And so I just decided to follow him around. And this is before YouTube was around. So it was weird that a guy was with like a shoulder camcorder.
