Listen "71: Shaan Puri, Former CEO of Bebo and Host of My First Million Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
This week we're talking concepts! It was awesome having Shaan Puri, Former CEO of Bebo on the podcast to chat through a number of them. Shaan and I go way back - we went to Duke together; since then we've formed a tight knit friendship as we've both gone through a number of different startup experiences as investors and operators. After selling his latest company to Twitch, Shaan set out on a host of projects: a podcast that has 2M+ downloads, a $3M rolling fund to invest in startups, an online course and a few other ventures.
In this conversation, we dug into a bunch of concepts and frameworks both Shaan and I have learned over the years. A few of my favorites included: (1) how to pack 4 years of experience in 1, (2) knowing when to shut a project down, (3) the challenges in a business as a function of the CEO's psychology, (4) a 5 part framework for change, (5) how to get "unstuck" and (6) a 2x2 for startup ideas.
This one was a blast; Shaan's an idea machine.
