Episode notes

The next sam waltin has the opportunity to raise venture capital dollars and he's like you know what i would rather just figure it out another way. There are a lot of vcs in my audience too and they're nice people don't get me wrong right um some of our talktos was like who gave you money to invest like what is going on here. What i don't like is like uh the best ones aren't always seen as good enough by investors or founders so that doesn't make any sense. It ties back to the principle that buffet and monger built their business on which is only associating themselves with the best people on the best companies.

ACQ Sessions returns with David Senra of the Founders Podcast. David is one of our very favorite people in the world — it’s impossible to spend an hour (or 3!) with him and not come away inspired to go take over the world. This conversation is an “extended, IRL version” of monthly calls that we do together where we share stories, swap life and podcast advice, and just genuinely enjoy sharing time with someone who shares our outlook and enthusiasm for the history of entrepreneurship. Pull up a chair, grab a beverage (or energy drink in David’s case) and join us!
