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.

And what he was doing was every day, he would wake up at like whatever five or six in the morning and he would go to Phil's Coffee and he would sit down on his laptop. He'd firstly tweet out that he was at Phil's every single day.
And then he would start just literally emailing and tweeting at people that they should be posting their product on Product Hunt or, hey, I posted it for you. Would love to hear your comment or, hey, I noticed this product that's a lot like yours. I wonder if, you know, or like that's in your industry. You should check this out.
And all he was doing was like manually being the human notification system for Product Hunt. He was the human invite system, the notification system, the retention system. He was all of it.

I have a feeling you're coming with fire or something. You seem fiery today.

**Shaan Puri** (1:48)
I got some good stuff. Also, I just watched, do you ever watch Barstool's interviews with people?

**Sam Parr** (1:54)
You watch, are you talking about the Caleb Pressley one?

**Shaan Puri** (1:56)
I don't know who that is. Maybe that's his name. It's the one with, they interviewed Aaron Rodgers.

**Sam Parr** (2:00)
I watched it today, dude. His name's Caleb.
So it's called, it's called Sunday, what's it called?

**Shaan Puri** (2:07)
Sunday Conversations, but it's like ice cream.

**Sam Parr** (2:10)
Yeah, it's like this chubby guy named Glenny Balls who's sitting in the background, and then it's Caleb who's like a bro, but he's kind of, he's actually really funny. He's hilarious, he's quite smart, and he interviews these people. He asks the best questions. He is so good. Have you seen the past ones?

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
I've seen a few of them. This one is the first one I've watched, like the whole thing, and God, he's good, man. That is amazing. So I watched that, and sometimes that's all it takes.
You just see someone being great at their thing, and you're like, I'm gonna be great today. That's it, I'm gonna be great today. I saw great, now I need to be great.

**Sam Parr** (2:42)
He makes me self-conscious. Caleb Presley is very, very good at these funny, awesome interviews. He's great on the spot. He's very good.

**Shaan Puri** (2:50)
Yeah, he delivers. All right, so let's do, can I tell you something? This is kind of amazing. All right, this is gonna be a little hard to share on here, but I put this in to the doc so you can click the links.
Ben, if you can, let's screen share some of this stuff that I'm gonna tell you. This is, I saw this ad on Instagram, and this is the most amazing marketing funnel I've ever seen, maybe ever, but definitely for a musician. So, check this out.
