Our guests today are Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, founders of Acquired, the podcasting sensation telling the stories and strategies of the world's great companies. When I think of dynamic duos over the course of time, I think of Simon and Garfunkel, I think of Hall and Oates. And of course, I think, of Ben and David.
These guys have been on an eight-year pilgrimage, shaping Acquired into an authoritative voice on every subject they choose to explore. As we'll discover, at the core of Acquired resides a beautiful friendship and the alchemy achieved by the mingling of Shakespeare-like storytelling and ridiculously rigorous analysis.
In this episode, we turn the tables on Ben and David in order to discover their own stories and the fairy dust behind Acquired's success. We'll cover the history and facts of the formation of one of the most successful podcasts in the world.
