I was at Google Camp, which is kind of a good way to discover Acquired.

We should talk about where we are now, too.

And we are sitting in the Google garage.

Yes.

I mean, I don't know exactly.

I'm not sure exactly what happened in the Google garage.

So I'm at this camp with a lot of kind of well-known people.

And a prominent CEO says to me, have you listened to Acquired?

And I didn't know what he was talking about.

And I went and listened.

I can't remember what I listened to first.

I think it might have been the Morris Chang episode.

But I had about eight different reactions to it, all positive.

And I thought, it's kind of amazing what you all are doing.

So then from July until now, I've listened to maybe 10 of the episodes, which is a lot of hours of listening time.

The first thing that struck me, could not believe you were getting away with a four-hour podcast.

And...

And I couldn't believe that even after four hours, I was still looking for even more.

That you created the environment with the podcast that I tried to create with the book.

You grabbed the listeners.
