Acquired

It’s a really good podcast I love to learn about companies that you wouldn’t really know the history of . But in the Hermes episode you mispronounced the Chinese

Acquired is the case study learning method I always wanted. Told with enthusiasm and relatability. Like the hosts, I put myself in the company’s shoes and ask what I would have done in their circumstance. Then marvel at their choices and subsequent successes. I also appreciate the technical additions to learn and stay sharp. I’m hooked!

Hearing the story of other companies was way more interesting than the company I work for. On a feedback topic, which I hesitate to give but will in the hope that it can be helpful. Love David, his research, stories, excitement - perfect. Unfortunately less so for Ben, he does have a few great insights, but then tends to be long winded about it, and many times I feel he is just stating the obvious - sorry to be negative but it is to the point sometimes that I want to stop listening. Great premise, keep at it.

The Acquired podcast is truly exceptional! Each episode dives deep into the stories of some of the most iconic companies, offering a masterclass in business strategy, innovation, and leadership. The hosts bring an incredible level of research, insight, and passion, making complex topics both engaging and easy to understand. It’s not just educational but also deeply inspirational, as it uncovers the challenges and triumphs behind major successes. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a business enthusiast, or simply curious about how the world’s greatest companies are built, Acquired is a must-listen. Highly recommended!
