When i'm moderating podcasting is about going deep so it is really an art like you want to stop somebody when they're going down this like crazy rabbit hole. It's been a different muscle for me to flex and uh it's been great fun for me the other thing like i don't know if you think about it on this axis at all but like i kind of think of there's two categories of podcasts there's candy and there's vegetables i listen to the audio version of stratecary and that's my vegetables and it's not like deeply it's enjoyable intellectually but it'snot like fun.
We kick off ACQ Sessions with the-behind-the-scenes story of All-in, from the world’s greatest moderator himself Jason Calacanis. ACQ Sessions is our new, occasional “MTV Unplugged” version of Acquired: a great IRL guest, a bottle (or two) of wine, and no script. We talk about everything you’d imagine we would over wine with JCal — All-In, bestie relationships, money & politics in Silicon Valley, who his influences and mentors have been (one surprise — the great Fred Wilson of USV!), what motivates him to keep grinding and why, at age 50+ when he could easily be winding down he’s instead speeding up into the most productive phase of his entire career. Pour a beverage yourself, pull up a comfy seat and join us!
