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.

The company that we talked about where we said, oh, we met this girl. She was a college student at NYU. They did that clubhouse thing where they did shoot your shot.
And I met her and I was like, wow, you're a star. I don't know what this idea is. She was doing like some web three version of The Bachelor. I was like, oh, that's a terrible idea, but this is, hey, that's okay. This is your terrible idea. You're gonna do amazing things. I think they might've already pivoted into something kind of amazing or found something amazing under their umbrella. And it's these shows. So the watch one has in four weeks, 14 million views, 2 million likes and a total budget of I think $2,000.
What? $190,000 followers.

**Sam Parr** (1:43)
All right, we're live. Brother, it's been dry for me.
Not a lot of research and ideas going on. Are you the same?

**Shaan Puri** (1:49)
Dry season?

**Sam Parr** (1:51)
It's dry season.

**Shaan Puri** (1:52)
Yeah, I know what you mean, but I can't say I relate, cause your boy's wet.

**Sam Parr** (2:00)
Really, you have stuff?

**Shaan Puri** (2:01)
I'm just dripping with concepts. You know, actually, I have all the stuff prepared, and then like, typically in the four hours before we record, I just come up with a whole different set of things that I wanna talk about. The first one is, okay, so I don't know the full backstory of this, but I do think it's kind of cool. So I saw a tweet that basically said, there's like five 21 year olds who are building, you know, some next generation media company. Oh, okay, what are you guys doing?
Well, basically it took them one month and they launched a series of original TikTok shows. So not just like themselves on TikTok, but an actual show. So there's one show called Buying Time. It's where they buy and sell watches, like kind of like on the fly.
And you get to see them like buy or sell, negotiate the watch.

**Sam Parr** (2:50)
What's the name of the company?

**Shaan Puri** (2:51)
So the name of the company, what is their name?
I thought it was related to that Mad Realities thing. It might be.

**Sam Parr** (2:58)
So to say it sounds like that.

**Shaan Puri** (2:59)
I think it is related to them. I'll try to go find it. Yeah, it's either produced by them, it's theirs, or they're like in the network. I'm not sure, but they're in their bio for all the shows.
It's at Mad Realities, right? So the company that we talked about, where we said, oh, we met this girl. She was a college student at NYU. They did that clubhouse thing where they did shoot your shot.
And I met her and I was like, wow, you're a star. I don't know what this idea is. She was doing like some web three version of The Bachelor. I was like, oh, that's a terrible idea, but this is, hey, that's okay. This is your terrible idea. You're gonna do amazing things.
I think they might've already pivoted into something kind of amazing or found something amazing under their umbrella. And it's these shows. So the watch one has in four weeks, 14 million views, 2 million likes and a total budget of I think $2,000. 100, 190,000 followers.
