Holiday Special 2023

Ben has some big news. Actually, double big news! On what has
become a holiday tradition here at Acquired, we cozy up to the
fire to do our annual review of the show “in public”. We reflect
on what can only be described as an absolutely mind-blowing 2023
(LVMH! Jensen! Costco! Charlie! Half a million plus listeners!)
and look ahead to some big things cooking for 2024. Plus as
always, we wrap with extended carve outs (joined this year by
some surprise guests) for anyone still shopping for those holiday
perfect gifts.


Huge thank you to everyone for making 2023 an amazing year again
here in Acquired-land, and cheers to even greater things to come
in 2023!
