ACQ Sessions: Jason Calacanis

We kick off ACQ Sessions with the-behind-the-scenes story of
All-in, from the world’s greatest moderator himself Jason
Calacanis. ACQ Sessions is our new, occasional “MTV Unplugged”
version of Acquired: a great IRL guest, a bottle (or two) of
wine, and no script. We talk about everything you’d imagine we
would over wine with JCal — All-In, bestie relationships, money
& politics in Silicon Valley, who his influences and mentors
have been (one surprise — the great Fred Wilson of USV!), what
motivates him to keep grinding and why, at age 50+ when he could
easily be winding down he’s instead speeding up into the most
productive phase of his entire career. Pour a beverage yourself,
pull up a comfy seat and join us!
