"I'm going to do another one. The question is am I doing it under the all-in brand or do I have to create a new brand for it?" "Code Conference is done so like there's a bad thing. Yeah they need a new host," he says of his former co-host Cara Swisher. "If it had that kind of prestige it seems like Fried Burger would want to do it." 'How could you not be on? You're definitely on,' she asks, joking about being humble.

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!
