Sam Parr explains how to solve problems others call impossible by finding the right contacts and asking how much it costs instead of accepting no. When told he couldn't film at the pyramids, he called tourism officials until someone said yes.
You can't just have the Three Pyramids. I'm like, did Egypt tell you that? What do you mean? Go make some phone calls. It's just always like, you can't do that. Or no. Or they'll go make a phone call. Or okay, fine, Jimmy, we'll go try to get the pyramids. They'll go away. They'll come back a day later. You can't have the pyramids. I'm like, who'd you call? This tourist guy who like works at the pyramids. I'm like, okay, call the head of tourism. Like, how do you get their number? Okay, well, that's different. You didn't ask me how to get the head of tourism's number. You asked me, you just told me it was not possible. So now please don't do that again. We got to figure out what the problems are. Let's figure it out. And then we make calls and you figure it out. And next thing, that's a big thing that you have to like, if you really, in my opinion, want to innovate and do things that are— have never been done before and push boundaries, you have to like have a mindset amongst your people that it's not— nothing is impossible. It's just how much does it cost? How do you do it?
