Episode notes

I've been micro famous multiple times in my career but this is yeah not for me you know and I got a lot of famous friends. It used to be three people stop me on the street a day if I was walking around in New York now it's 20 or 10 and they want to take a selfie. The fights are all real trust me there's nothing scripted about that, he says. He created the character of the Sultan of Science right and freeburg didn't even have a Twitter handle well there's a followers there's even a character of J Cal on all in. They were not famous no right no go mark they're all new thing for each of them to hit this level

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!
