Adapting Episode 1: Canlis

It's kinda like the word pick six. I don't that just like happened a few years ago and now everybody says it. Watch now the like ESPN is like pick six. Pick six. And when it doesn't happen, they're like we could really use a pick six right now. Welcome to season six, episode four of Acquired, the podcast of Uh Ben Hey, um I think you're on autopilot. Yeah, I uh sorry. Muscle memory. All right, listeners, we are coming to you in a time of enormous change and upheaval. The coronavirus has spread around the world, challenging global health systems, bringing economies to their knees, and changing daily life for everyone seemingly overnight. Given this, uh, it just seems irresponsible to stay business as usual over here and put on our normal acquired episodes for you all.

So we're changing acquired. For the first time ever, we're taking a pause from normal episodes. The world doesn't need acquired right now. People normally tune in to hear us talk about the stories behind great technology companies and what goes into building them. But these aren't normal times.

What the world does need right now is stories of great leaders and how they and their organizations are responding to what might be the biggest moment of change we've ever seen. So we're gonna take everything that we've put into acquired over the years, uh, our format, our infrastructure, um, and the way we can reach all of you, and we're gonna put our full weight behind this. So starting today. We're pausing acquired and we are launching. Adapting. Adapting is a series all about doing just that, showing leadership and changing to fit what the world needs right now, not what it needed last week. So with adapting, we're gonna take a shallow dive, a more shallow dive at the beginning of each episode into the history of an organization, but our focus is really gonna be on the present and on the future, not the past.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
