Episode notes

Saks: I was very intentional with my role in it to step back and be like the point guard um but you know i'm a shooting art too so sometimes i will want to shoot the ball and uh i can do both i'm a combo guard how did the free break host episode come about? "I've made him the sultan of science and so good" he says. Saks has been working on keeping his co-hosts involved when they're doing stuff. He's also trying to keep them engaged by asking questions that are fair market value for an acronym such as tamedadentists or unpackers.

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!
