Episode notes

We wanted to be bold and different in our approach to podcasting, not following the traditional rules. We wanted to treat our audience like intelligent individuals. While it may not have been the fastest way to grow, we ended up attracting the exact listeners and community we wanted. We believe in playing the long game and if people don't want to join us, that's fine. Our final lesson after seven years of acquired is that we all need to get on the bus and have fun at the party!

When Patrick O'Shaughnessy and Brent Beshore asked us to give a talk at their incredible Capital Camp conference, we knew we had to bring something special. So we spent months combing through the Acquired back catalog and cataloged our 12 favorite lessons from the 200+ stories we’ve told over the past 7 years. From Sequoia through Sony, TSMC, Nvidia, The New York Times, the NBA and Oprah — we revisited all the classics and pulled out the common threads that weave the tapestry of great companies we’ve covered on Acquired. This episode was truly a joy to put together… huge thank you to Patrick and Brent for giving us the perfect stage on which to present it!
