Mauss intended on going to New York City or Los Angeles to start his career but instead decided to move to Boston with a friend.

By practicing and with the help of friends, Mauss overcame his anxiety and began performing in comedy clubs approximately six months after starting his career as a standup comedian.

Shortly after he started playing in clubs, Mauss entered into the Greater Boston Alternative Comedy Festival and made it to the final round of elimination.

Mauss's podcast, Here We Are (2014–present),[11] focuses on subjects such as science, psychedelics, and the social trait of "openness", which he describes as not being "scared of novelty and ambiguity, but you really thrive off of it.

[14] Mauss has also appeared on the podcasts WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, This Past Weekend, and Bertcast.
