Inside the life of a $100m person

Hey, it’s Sam Parr. I’m thinking of writing a weekly newsletter. Here’s the second one. You signed up for CopyThat recently and so I put you into my testing pool.

Reply and let me know if you like this email and want to keep getting it. And if you want me to write about something, let me know.

Last week I told you I had to go to Boston to speak at Inbound (Hubspot’s conference) and how I hate being away from family. In case you want more complaining, I also hate flying.

My family has this guy named Shah. He was our Uber driver once. He has a minivan with car seats so now he drives us to the airport for $175.

I paid him $1,300 to drive me to and from Boston same day.

People have an image in their head when I say I have a driver. But it’s really just my boy Shah in a minivan who wears a track suit with Pumas.

I gave a talk in Boston called Be Chalant: The Art of Giving a Damn.

The summary is when I was 16 I couldn’t get a girlfriend because I looked (and acted) like Napoleon Dynamite.

So I read every pick up artist book on earth. My takeaway from those book was to be “cool” and act like I don’t care. That was dumb (and I got no girls).

So in my 20’s when I started my first company, I began openly showing more enthusiasm. People were more attracted to me. Investors. Employees. Customers. Everyone.
