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.
He said that he was selling $100 million of liver supplements.
So basically these pills where it's like, instead of like eating liver, just swallow this pill.
And I looked it up on Amazon and I did a bunch of research and I think it's true. I think it's 100% true. I think that's how much he's selling in these Amazon supplements.
All right, so we're doing something. So the contest is this. So you go to our YouTube, you find our full videos, and you chop them up into little like 10, 15, 20 second clips, whatever you want, and you post it on social media. TikTok's the best one, and you use the hashtag MFMClips, that's MFMClips with an S, and you just use that hashtag, and we'll find you. But basically, the people who make the best videos, typically the best video means the ones with the most views, but last time, we actually gave it to someone who had the most views, and then another person who had just cool videos. Anyway, you may turn these episodes into small clips, use that hashtag, and we'll give you five grand based off of, quote, the best ones. And we're just gonna pick what we think is the best. Last time, did we give it to two people or three people last time?

**Shaan Puri** (2:17)
I think two, at least two people won last time. And it was a win-win, right? Their channel blew up. They had hundreds of thousands of views on individual videos. I think someone hit a million total, and then they won free money, so it was good.

**Sam Parr** (2:30)
And the guy who won, or I don't know, he was one of the guys who won, he built a business around this that's now doing a million a year in sales, or north of a million a year. Like, it's doing like 80,000 a month or something like that.

**Shaan Puri** (2:42)
And he came full circle. He emailed me the other day being like, hey, I think I could help drive some growth to Milk Road.
Would you like to pay for this service? And I was like, honestly, yeah, I would. I would like to pay for this service. Like, good on you for turning this need that we had as a need everybody has, which is, hey, we make a bunch of good content. Can you chop it up, package it up, find the good bits and help them see the light of day so that we get more exposure?

**Sam Parr** (3:08)
Yeah, so it's a good idea for everyone. So that's why you guys should do it. So there's details on mfmpod.com/clips.
Or if you just go to mfmpod.com, you'll see the details, but it's really simple. Just chop up our clips or chop up our videos that you see on YouTube. Use the hashtag MFMClips on pretty much anything, any social media site, but honestly, just use TikTok. It's the easiest one to go viral on. But if you use it there, we'll find you, and then we're gonna DM you based on if we'd like it, and we'll give you $5,000. It's very simple.
So, Shaan, what's up, dude? Long time no see. I missed you.
