5 years and 100+ episodes into Acquired, there’s been one question we get asked more than any other: what are the best acquisitions of all-time, and what can we learn from them? We thought it was time to formalize our answers. So here it is, the Acquired Greatest Hits album. :)We also put together an accompanying blog post, which goes into greater detail on the numbers and methodology behind out rankings.
