10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Okay, scale economies, yes.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Counter-positioning everywhere.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Okay, explain these powers.

Acquired

Counter-positioning is when you do something that your competitors just cannot respond to.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Give me an example outside of the podcasting world.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Yeah, so what's a great example of this?

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Right.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

We're counter-positioned.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

We're not volume driven.

Acquired

Most podcasts sell their ads on a CPM basis, and they are incentivized to make as many episodes as possible with as many ad slots as possible.

Acquired

Our business is entirely structurally different.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

No, no, no, no.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

That's my nightmare is that we actually, we can't end up, if we end up at one episode a year or one episode a season, it's time to hang it up.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

So the kind of shows- That's how it expresses itself, but because our business is structurally different than most others, others can't do what we're doing.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Network economies, not really, but there's some water cooler effect of people talk about acquired episodes, especially within companies.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Right.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

So we release an episode, it becomes a topic of discussion.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Right.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

No switching costs.
