Episode notes

Saks was high profile but nobody really knew him as a Republican so he kind of uncloaked as a Republican on the show. Saks has probably taken the brunt of the hit of the pod yeah because he is so passionate about topics that maybe are unpopular in tech circles. He's joked that it's cost him deal flow I don't know if it has. For every one of those there's 10 more I kind of agree with yourYeah I would agree with that. We all think we are here in Silicon Valley which is like social liberal fiscal conservative and everybody should be that, says Friedberg.

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!
