SaaS CEO QUIT His Job To Start A Trash Company

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
That's a great idea. I'm glad I brought this up. I should do this.

**Shaan Puri** (0:03)
I love how you were like, you gave me a great idea, but the thing you said was completely different than what I said.
That's how this works. That's how this thing works. You do you. That's a little yes and there for you.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:16)
It's all my thespians out there.

**Sam Parr** (0:27)
All right, we're live.
Sean, what are we talking about? You're kicking it off.

**Shaan Puri** (0:31)
Well, maybe you should introduce yourself. I don't even recognize you because it's new year, new you. Am I right, Sam?

**Sam Parr** (0:38)
Save me, new year.

**Shaan Puri** (0:42)
New year, same shit as always.

**Sam Parr** (0:44)
Yeah, nothing will change.
I purposely didn't set any goals this year. I'm just going to go with the flow. Why? What are you thinking?

**Shaan Puri** (0:52)
Well, I want to talk about new year's resolutions and stuff. First, I have to apologize. We did not put out a lot of content over the last week or so. Normally, who cares? No big deal.
I thought, well, this is good. Let's take a little break, spend time with the family. You're a new dad. I'm an existing dad. Let's just be quality home bodies here and family men. Family first, right? But the thing is about family first is that the time I need podcast the most is when I'm with my family. This might sound crazy to people who aren't podcast people, but I know there's other people like me out there who, you love your family. You spend a lot of time with your family.
A little too much time sometimes with your family. You need these little mini breaks.
I was taking out the trash and I was, then I had to like walk my dog and I was like, I went to my favorite podcasters channel and they didn't have anything new for me. And I was like, damn, this is what I needed. I needed a little break from the family world just to go and escape.

**Sam Parr** (1:55)
Who's your favorite podcaster?

**Shaan Puri** (1:57)
I like Bill Simmons. It's because I like to just listen to basketball stuff or sports things. And so I will, and I've been listening to him since, I don't know, 2006 or something. He's like the first podcaster I've ever heard.
So I have this familiarity built up. And when there's not a new episode, I hate it. And I realized, we're that person for some people out there.
We are there, escape from Family Card or escape from the boring chore. And I know that it was holiday time, but I bet people needed us more and we weren't there. So next year we will be there. That's my commitment to you, guy out there who has to run errands and deal with a bunch of BS.

**Sam Parr** (2:35)
We should have just done reruns. Could we have done a rerun and it'd been all right?

**Shaan Puri** (2:39)
Just our voices actually, just ASMR of us saying nonsense, just gibberish for hours.

Did you, have you ever had seen this Louis CK skit or one of his bits from his standup thing where he talks about being a dad? Now that you're a dad, you're going to start to appreciate this one joke.
It's not even that funny. You know, some people are like, it's so true. That's hilarious. This is just, it's so true. It's not even that hilarious.

**Sam Parr** (3:42)
What are you saying?

**Shaan Puri** (3:42)
He talks about, he's like, the greatest 30 seconds in the world. He's like, you know what the greatest 30 seconds in the world is?
He's like, when you put your kid in the car and you get him into the car seat, you finally clip it all together and then you close the door and you have like 30 seconds while you're walking from their door back to your door. And that 30 seconds of silence and solitude is everything in life. And it's so true.
