Totally surreal to wake up and see your 9-year passion project on the front of the @WSJ.
Thanks @bzcohen, for really capturing the essence of @AcquiredFM.

@chrisfralic I just made the same jump and feel exactly the same way. The snappiness makes it feel like the whole product changed.

The new MacBook Pro in many ways is the same as my old one, but going from M1 to M5 and the overall speed and power makes it feel like something very different.

There is something really heartwarming watching Kimi Antonelli win. Can't help but smile.

I've been working on this important list for a couple of years now. What am I missing?

One wild thing we didn't have time for on the episode is how teams (briefly) got around the EU tobacco advertising ban.
In 2005, Marlboro bet that their logo was iconic enough that they could turn it into a barcode and STILL get recognition enough to be an effective ad.

Formula 1 sponsor dollars over the last 5 years.
Fascinating how sponsorship overwhelming flows to teams, and not to F1 itself.

Brush up on your Formula 1® facts with @AcquiredFM’s @gilbert and @djrosent before the racing season kicks off this Saturday on @AppleTV, the new U.S. home of F1.

@APNavaratnam @djrosent @AcquiredFM @F1 You knocked it out of the park as always. Thanks for all the research help + collaboration!

Had a blast nerding out with @gilbert & @djrosent to help create @AcquiredFM's new @F1 episode 🎙️🏎️
In 2001, Bernie Ecclestone bought F1's commercial rights for 100 years for $360M.
That was... an incredible long-term investment: it's now worth ~$24B. 65x return. ~20% CAGR over 24 years. 🏆
One of the great compounding stories in sports and lots of track ahead.

F1 had some real wacky designs back in the day.
Here's the Lotus 49B (1969) before the regulations got... a little tighter about where you could mount wings on a car.

@JoePompliano @klace32 @AcquiredFM Thanks, Joe!
Funny, I was just reading your write-up thinking, "I wish I had read this while we were still in our research process." :) It's great.
English
@klace32 @AcquiredFM Nope, I do it every year before the season starts but I will definitely be listening to their episode. Everything they do is such high quality.

@IsForAt @nickgraynews @bgurley Building websites in college made me a better CS student since I had practical applications.
Developing evening iOS apps made me one of the most useful PMs to the devs on MS Office for iPad. Could speak their language and knew the API docs.
Acquired made me a better VC, etc.
English
@IsForAt @nickgraynews @bgurley I totally see what you're saying. Since getting serious about Acquired, I've shed essentially everything else in the name of focus and going as deep as possible.
Undoubtedly though, earlier in my career it helped to be parallel pathing and learning multiple things concurrently.
