This transcript captures a live episode of the "Acquired" podcast, hosted at the Chase Center in San Francisco with a live audience. The event was sponsored by JP Morgan Payments, and featured a conversation with tech founders, and key figures in the industry.
The show opens with an explanation of why a typical 9-hour Acquired recording session wouldn't work in a live setting. The hosts, Ben and David, clarify that the show's format will be different, more of a party celebrating technology and the Bay Area. They provide an update on Acquired's growth, citing a Wall Street Journal article, doubling growth on Spotify, and their global expansion.
The first guest is Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of Spotify, and is interviewed about Acquired's growth. Ek shares impressive statistics on Acquired's listenership, downloads, and follower counts on Spotify, highlighting the show's global reach and the significant number of hours listeners have spent with the podcast. Ek praises Acquired's unique approach, its ability to make esoteric topics accessible and engaging. He suggests they explore incorporating video, emphasizing the increasing demand for visual content and closer interactions with creators. He shares how Spotify has been deliberate and calculated in their approach, discussing the decision to enter the podcast market and their success in growing it.
The second segment features Emily Chang from Bloomberg and "The Circuit," who quizzes Ben and David on past Acquired episodes where they may have been wrong or require updates. They revisit their initial underestimation of YouTube's potential, now acknowledging it as an A+ acquisition due to its strategic value as the second largest search engine and social media platform, and acknowledging its enormous influence. They discuss the success of Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn, noting its significant revenue growth. The hosts also revisit their earlier thoughts on SpaceX, acknowledging the phenomenal growth and success of Starlink, and discuss the enduring success of Taylor Swift, debating whether she is at the "peak" of her career and suggesting a new rating category for her.
Following this, the global co-heads of JP Morgan Payments, Max McCurchin and Umar Firk, take the stage to give an overview on the business.
The podcast then presents a video message from Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. Huang clarifies earlier comments about not starting NVIDIA again, stating that his comments were taken out of context. Huang emphasizes the difficulty of entrepreneurship and the importance of naivete in starting a company.
The main event of the evening is an interview with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta. They delve into his clothing choices, his philosophy of "learning through suffering," and Meta's long-term vision of creating social connections through new technologies like AR/VR glasses. Zuckerberg emphasizes that Meta is a technology company focused on human connection. They explore his approach to product development and how he has integrated AI into Meta's products, and also the strategy to keep pivoting, and his approach of getting product early.
The conversation covers a range of topics, including Meta's relationship with open-source technology, its challenges with the political environment since 2016.
