Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Don't go do something that we're less good at or it's going to be less fun.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

We should always just make another episode.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

However, you have decided to become venture capitalists.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Again.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

So here's a question.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

I'm curious.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

What's the difference between what you do and what a normal Silicon Valley venture capitalist does before they put money in a company?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

But the kind of work that you do to do a podcast episode about a company

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Does it bear any resemblance to the kind of work a VC does about a company before they invest in it?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

You answered my question was, are these two things similar?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

And you're saying basically not so much.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

No, they're not.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

So that means that being a venture capitalist in no way really prepared you to create these podcast episodes, because they're very different things.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

But what have you learned?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

I'll put the question another way.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

What have you learned about telling a story?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Gotcha.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

What can you do now as storytellers that you couldn't do 10 years ago?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Right.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

It's the why of it.
