]]> My best friend recently introduced me to a podcast series called ACQUIRED, hosted by Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal. They do deep‑dive explorations into the stories and strategies behind some of the world’s most successful companies. While I may be late to the game, I’m fully obsessed now—currently binging episodes.

Two of my favorites so far are the Costco and Trader Joe’s episodes. They’re fantastic examples of companies that managed to reinvent themselves over time while staying true to their core mission and values. If you haven’t listened yet, I highly recommend starting with the Costco episode:
