Here are the three podcasts, in order. Each one answers a different question: how we got here, what happens next, and how you stand out.
1. Acquired: the Google trilogy
Ben Gilbert & David Rosenthal
Start with how we got here. Three long episodes on how Google started, what it built, and why it became the breeding ground for most of the AI we use today. Watch them in order.
Part I: Origins of Search
Part II: Alphabet
Part III: The AI Company
Prefer audio? The episodes, with show notes, are also on acquired.fm.
2. All-In: the AI discussions
Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks & David Friedberg
Next, what happens next. Skip straight to their AI discussions: investors and founders debating the companies, the competition and where the money is going. Listen to their reasoning, even when you disagree with the conclusion.

3. The Colin and Samir Show
Colin Rosenblum & Samir Chaudry
Finish with how you stand out when everyone has access to AI. They break down how creators build audiences and businesses. If you are using AI to make content, understanding why people actually watch is just as useful as learning how to produce it.
