Why Everyone Is Wrong About the Metaverse, Gaingels, Companies that Don't Advertise, and More

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. 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.

All the best people are crazy. You can't be not crazy and be the best when there's crazy people out there who want to be the best.

Yeah, I'm going to actually start by asking you a question. I was just talking to Ben about this. Would you send your kids to a school and let them get hit or like not hit, but like hits, not the right word, but like if you're acting like an asshole, they can grab you by the collar and kind of push you against the wall. Are you okay with that?

**Shaan Puri** (1:40)
No.

**Sam Parr** (1:41)
You're not okay with that?

**Shaan Puri** (1:42)
I'm not okay with that. And it's not because I don't want my kid to get hit. It's that I wouldn't trust the person who would be doing the hitting to know the right way and the wrong way and the right where the line is, because I just think about it this way.
If you're the type of teacher who signs up for that, like if you're the type of teacher who goes to this specialty discipline school, this specialty abuse school to teach, like I just don't want that person to have a screw loose and I'm not there to see it. So I would rather err on the side of, no, you can't hit my kid or like rough them up in any way unless I'm kind of like, I know this person, I trust this person, I'm there or whatever. Like for example, I think if it was a coach of some kind and the coach was really tough on my kid, I don't know about hitting, but like kind of punking my kid, totally cool with that as long as the coach is legit.
But I've seen a whole bunch of people and actually grown up now and looked back at some of the teachers and coaches I had who kind of did weird stuff. And now that I'm an adult, I'm like, oh, this was just a totally flawed person. At the time, I really like, I thought they were the authority. I thought that they must know things that we don't know. And then now I see them on Facebook and they're posting like crazy anti-vax stuff. And they're like, you know, like preppers and stuff like that. I'm like, oh, you know, you kind of always just had a screw loose. And at the time I thought I was in the wrong for not, you know, not applying by your rules or whatever.

I went to all boys high school and I was a jerk at the time. And there was times where like the guy, the disciplinarian, like, you're supposed to have your shirt tucked in. And I would, if I didn't have it untucked and I got yelled at a bunch of times, he would come up and like give you like a horrible wedgie. Like they would grab you by the underwear and lift you up. And like, what have I told you son about this? And, or like, if I like, you know, I was disrespectful a couple of times and they just would grab me by the shirt and push me against the locker. And they're like, if I hear from this again, you're over. You know what I mean? And I loved it.
