00:03Tomorrow is my first official day as the boss of my new podcast company.
00:08You might wonder why someone with a good job, a wife, two kids, and a dancer's body would do something so risky.
00:15It's because I believe there's a place where I can tell the kind of stories I want to tell.
00:19Where I can work with the kind of people I want to work with.
00:21And most of all, where no one, and I mean no one, can tell me what to do.
00:26Will you please shut up?
00:27Oh, sorry, honey. That's the person who was snoring earlier.
00:31Ow!
00:32Now, guys, this podcast about our lives only works if you ignore the microphone and just act like you'd normally act.
00:39I'm old governor. I'm a British person.
00:41Or do that.
00:42Everyone needs to be ready to walk out that door in five.
00:45Wait, you're taking us?
00:46I know you're used to dad doing a lot more of these things because at his old job he had more flexible hours and made good money and had good benefits and still decided to quit and thrust us into chaos.
00:56Come on back, baby.
00:57Welcome to the Nerd Factory.
01:01It's an incubator, babe.
01:02Everyone here has ideas they're developing.
01:04Those guys are designing a robot that rocks a baby to sleep.
01:08Heads up!
01:09Coming along, fellas.
01:10I believe in this company.
01:12That's why I'm putting everything I have into it.
01:14You don't have anything.
01:15Yeah, but it's all in there.
01:17Well, who's going to watch the kids?
01:18What about Ben?
01:19I don't know.
01:20Where's the fire extinguisher?
01:21Under the sink.
01:21Where's the other fire extinguisher?
01:23Coat closet next to the broken vacuum.
01:24Okay, so Raya chokes on a grape.
01:27How do you do the Heimlich maneuver?
01:28With the thumb side of my fist, I press against her abdomen and exert pressure until the grape is expelled.
01:33Wow.
01:34Is that right?
01:35What do I know?
01:35I'm not a paramedic.
01:37The company's going great.
01:39All we need is a name.
01:40Fire.
01:40Oh, I like that.
01:42Like stories around the campfire.
01:44No, like the bacon's on fire.
01:47Yeah, I don't feel good.
01:49Your temperature is 135 degrees.
01:54I told you it was a doozy.
01:57I'm scared.
01:58We have so much riding on this.
02:00Our savings, this house, our careers.
02:02Maybe this is why you shouldn't start a company when you're a 37-year-old dad.
02:06Nobody thinks radio is cool, but when you do it, it's amazing.
02:12What did I say?
02:12Exactly what I needed to hear.
02:15This is a completely normal workplace.
02:18Heads up!
02:21Kids, drum roll.
02:22When you put your heart and soul into something, it can be tough to release it into the world.
02:29And in the end, the people you love may make your life difficult.
02:35Whoa.
02:36Whoa, indeed.
02:37But today, I succeeded not in spite of my family, but because of them.
