Episode notes

Interest rates have a significant impact on asset prices, with Warren Buffett highlighting that the value of businesses, farmlands, and other economic assets is highly sensitive to interest rates. When interest rates are low, there is little gravitational pull on asset prices, akin to gravity's effect on an apple. Interest rates play a crucial role in the economic universe since investing involves transferring money for a future stream of income, and higher interest rates reduce the present value of assets.

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!
