Hi there! The story of the Hermès brand is truly a masterpiece of research. No kidding, those folks at the Acquired podcast release only one episode a month, but they dig deep and transform a 4-hour podcast into an engaging short audiobook experience. 

Next up is the legendary snowboard icon Mike Basich, known as the master of DIY—his journey is nothing short of inspiring. And last but certainly not least, we’ll explore the fascinating story of VICE Media, a company that has redefined modern journalism and media.

This is what I have for you this week:

  1. Acquired podcast reveals the story of Hermès. Company founded in 1837 in Paris, the brand began as a harness workshop for horses. Today, its iconic products, especially the Birkin and Kelly bags, become a symbol of wealth and exclusivity. I believe they are the biggest handmade/ craftsmanship company in the world!
