In this brief interview segment, Shaan Puri shares a humorous story about how, after being named CEO, he decided to mark the new chapter of his life by hiring a personal stylist. He posted a Craigslist ad seeking someone to clear out his unflattering clothes and buy new, stylish outfits. A striking Russian model responded, came to his house, emptied his closet, and asked for garbage bags to discard the old garments. The conversation, led by host Sam Parr and interjected by a third speaker, playfully references the passage of time (a decade ago) and pokes fun at the extreme makeover, illustrating themes of personal branding, the lengths executives might go to reshape their image, and the comedic banter surrounding the anecdote.

When I first got named CEO of the company, I was like, okay, I'm making more money and how do I like mark this new chapter? So I had hired a personal stylist. I went on Craigslist. I said, hey, I want somebody to come to my house, take away all the clothes that suck and buy me new clothes that look awesome.
What's like the statute of limitations on that? Because it doesn't look like you are following through on that anymore.
This was a decade ago.
This is a decade ago.
So was she like, all right, you're cut off at t-shirt and Jordan shorts. Let's go. Go over to Foot Locker. I think we'll make you look nice.
I'm picking this like really hot Russian model. She came to my house, she went to my closet, and she just took everything out and was like, do you have garbage bags at the house?
Oh my God.
Oh yeah, yeah, let me just go get them. And I was like, but that one's my high school jersey. She's like, yeah, it looks like a high school jersey. She's like, did you wear this to prom? And I was like, yeah, that's my good— that's my good shirt. She's like, this shirt sucks.
