Ohio State is the most deserving champion in the history of college football.
They’ve beaten every single team in the top 8 of the final rankings except Georgia. And they did it with an average margin of victory of 15.5 points.
Ryan Day rewrote the narrative. He’s a legend.

Recently discovered the @AcquiredFM podcast and it's an absolute gem! 🌟 Finished the NBA, Nike, Costco, and Microsoft episodes. Amazing insights and stories all around! Highly recommended!

It is hard to imagine something more "big-company" than pre-announcing your new login page. There's nothing actionable for me. I can't learn more. I can't elect to keep the old one.
What's the point?
Feels like 2007 Microsoft.

The Taylor + NFL package is perfect bundle economics. (Intentional or not!)
Both had entirely saturated their total addressable hardcore fans. The NFL is fully America's sport. Taylor is the world's cultural icon.
But bundled together, they can address each other's casual fans.

Wahoo! Love this gorgeous @fastcompany piece on @gilbert @djrosent @AcquiredFM, "The Making Of". It is a privilege to witness Ben and David make art and magic over these years.
We're often asked about the process to produce @AcquiredFM.
So, when long-time listener @davidlidsky asked to shadow @djrosent and I, we jumped at the chance.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the Nike episode, and Acquired's broader journey: fastcompany.com/90927453/acq…

Job's done, T. I stuffed him in a suitcase, dropped it off at the Southwest terminal. It's as good as gone forever.

Amazing visualization on temperatures… nice that everyone agrees that climate is radically changing. now we’re just debating on the margins the plan to fix it.

Jean-Pierre, who will replace Jen Psaki, was born in Martinique to Haitian parents and raised in New York.
Her father was a taxi driver and her mother worked as a home health aide. 🇺🇸 🏳️🌈

What an unbelievable night.
Words can't describe how much fun that was with all ~thousand folks who made it out.
We're so grateful to every single one of you who has been on this journey with us over the last 7 years.
