Episode notes

Experience is a valuable asset, with individuals like Sam Walton who spent 50 years in an industry before distilling their wisdom down for others to benefit from. While it is impossible to acquire 90% of someone's wisdom, even gaining 1-5% can provide significant leverage, given the time and effort saved by learning from others' experiences. Prioritizing durability over growth rates in business, as emphasized by Peter Thiel, can ensure long-term success by focusing on what will sustain a company over time rather than short-term gains.

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!
