Storytelling Content & Insight
The ACQUIRED Podcast is world-famous, very popular, and has run for 16 seasons, and was started 10 years ago, back on March 17, 2015. If you are not familiar with the ACQUIRED Podcast, they are renowned for doing super-deep-dives into the history of successful companies, and they just published a 5-hour episode on The History of Rolex!
I listened to the entire podcast version of the Acquired Rolex podcast, and noticed that even thought they are passionate and do a great job of offering a comprehensive overview of Rolex's history, they seem to have gotten confused on a number of Rolex history details. Thus, I reached out to them in order to make some clarifications, and share further insight.
Ironically, it was Captain Danny, from Coron.et that reached out to share this fascinating news with me, and Captain Danny said, "Five hours of podcast about Rolex from the famous 'Acquired' podcast channel published yesterday. Sources quoted mention RolexMagazine.com a lot in the episode's page."
I am highly flattered they studied and were inspired by so much of my Rolex history stories I have published over the past 17 years, (They Referenced 9 Articles from RolexMagazine.com in their research notes) and listening to their podcast for me is superb, as it's kind of like they are narrating a great deal of the Rolex history I researched, discovered, and shared. In particular, the ACQUIRED Podcast went into a lot of detail on my story about the Founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf.I first heard about the ACQUIRED Podcast about a month ago, when I watched an interview with Eric Ku, who is a top vintage Rolex dealer. Eric said the ACQUIRED Podcast is his favorite podcast by far, as they do deep dives into the history of many luxury brands, like Louis Vuitton and Hermès. I was planning to take a listen, but hadn't had a chance to, so I was pleasantly surprised when Captain Danny shared the link with me.
The ACQUIRED Podcast slogan is "Every Company has a story", and they go on to say, "Learn the playbooks that built the world's greatest companies — and how you can apply them as a founder, operator, or investor."
