Summary

Shaan Puri is the Senior Director of Product for Mobile Gaming at Twitch. He previously built Bebo, before ultimately selling the business to Twitch. In this conversation, we discuss startup studios, getting startup reps, how to sell a company, project selection, the issue with dabbling, scaling tech companies, and why anyone can be an entrepreneur if they really focus on it. =============================== Our second sponsor is Choice, a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp =============================== Pomp writes a daily letter to over 50,000 investors about business, technology, and finance.

0:00.0	What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to the Pomp
0:05.3	podcast, simply the best podcast out there. Let's kick this thing off. Sean Puri is the senior
0:12.5	director of product for mobile gaming at Twitch. He previously built Bebo before ultimately selling
0:18.3	the business to Twitch. In this conversation, we discussed startup
0:22.1	studios, getting startup reps, how to sell a company, project selection, the issue with dabbling,
0:29.3	scaling tech companies, and why anyone can be an entrepreneur if they really focus on it.
0:34.3	I really enjoyed this conversation with Sean, and I hope you do as well. Before we get
0:38.9	into the episode, though, I want to quickly talk about our sponsors. First up is BlockFi. I'm an
0:44.1	investor in the business and a really happy customer. BlockFi has three products. You can buy
0:49.1	and sell crypto on their crypto exchange. You can deposit crypto and take out a U.S. dollar loan against your collateral,
0:55.7	or you can use their new interest-bearing account, which allows you to deposit cryptocurrency
1:00.1	or a stable coin and earn up to 8.6% APY in interest. It's a really, really compelling product.
1:08.0	It's much higher rates than you can earn in the legacy fiat world. So go check out blockfi. Again, you can earn up to 8.6% EPY in BlockFi's new
1:17.2	interest bearing account. You can go to blockfi.com slash pomp. Again, blockfi.com slash pomp. And you
1:25.7	can start using the products today. blockfi.com slash pomp.
1:30.8	Next up is Choice. Choice is a brand new self-directed IRA product that essentially allows you for
1:38.0	the first time to buy Bitcoin in your retirement account and hold your private keys.
1:44.2	That's right.
1:45.0	Choice by Kingdom Trust has created a way for you to set up a self-directed IRA product.
1:51.0	You then buy Bitcoin using the tax advantage dollars in your retirement account, and you still
1:56.2	get to hold on to your private keys.
1:58.2	This is an absolute game changer.
