| 7/12/24 | ![]() Semiconductors Industry: Going Deep with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI) on TSMC, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Intel, Hyperscalers, etc | On his eighth appearance on the podcast, MBI (🇧🇩🇺🇸) joins me to discuss one of humanity’s most impressive achievements: The semiconductor industry.Of course, we can’t talk about everything, and this isn’t meant to be a structured primer (for that, see below). It’s just a mostly unstructured conversation among friends, discussing whatever we find interesting in the space.We focus mostly on TSMC and Texas Instruments because that’s the two companies that MBI has researched more deeply, but we touch on ideas and concepts that apply more broadly.The goal is mostly to make you curious about this magic sand and encourage you to go down that rabbit hole too (we have book recommendations at the end if you don’t know where to start).We also brainstormed an interesting proposal to create a US alternative to TSMC (USSMC?). 📄🕵️♂️ MBI’s Semiconductor Deep Dives 🩻🔍* Semiconductors: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand" (sub required 🔐)* Texas Instruments: Leading the Analog Chips Industry (sub required 🔐)* TSMC: The Most Mission-Critical Company on Earth (sub required 🔐) This is a public episode.

| 1/29/24 | ![]() Sicario by Denis Villeneuve: Going Deep with Ed William and Dylan O'Sullivan 🎥 🎬 🎞️ 🍿 | Here’s something a little different. A fun — but dark! — one.I’m a big fan of Denis Villeneuve, and I was due for a re-watch of ‘Sicario’ (2015, written by Taylor Sheridan).It was the perfect opportunity to nerd out about the film, so I recruited my OSV colleagues Ed William (🇬🇧) and Dylan O’Sullivan (🇮🇪) for that task. (You should follow them on Twitter, and while you’re at it, sign up for the OSV Substack so you don’t miss the cool stuff we’ve got coming.)The things you love are always better when you can share them with others and this is exactly what we do here. We go over every aspect of the film, from the writing, the acting, the cinematography, the music, the metaphors, and scene-by-scene analysis.But mostly, we have fun and I hope that you do too!If you’ve never seen the film, watch it before listening, as the podcast is one giant 🚨SPOILER🚨 — and if you’ve seen it but haven’t rewatched it, I hope we can convince you to do so and that you’ll notice a bunch of new cool details this time around.🎧 Listen on SpotifyIf you prefer to listen on Spotify, here’s the feed:* Liberty’s Highlights podcast feed on Spotify🎧 Listen on Apple PodcastsHere’s the podcast feed on Apple Podcasts:* Liberty’s Highlights podcast on Apple📺 More Film & TV Podcasts 🎥* 🎧 The Last of Us: Going Deep on HBO's Amazing Show with Matt Reustle and Tinkered Thinking 🍄* 🎧 'Severance' Season 1: Going Deep with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI)* 🎧 David Senra on Deadwood (also: founders, entrepreneurs, civilization, Henry Singleton, Walt Disney, David Ogilvy, etc)💚 🥃 Enjoyed this?

| 9/14/23 | ![]() Trung Phan: Solving the Twitter Puzzle, What He Learned from Rick Rubin, Christopher Nolan, AI, and more ✍️🤣🎥🎬🇻🇳🤖 | Today, I’m joined by my friend Trung Phan! He’s multi-talented, funny and smart, a great writer, podcaster, and just overall good dude 👍In this conversation, we cover a lot of things from the Trung Expanded Universe, from the network effect at companies like Twitter/X and Facebook to Chernobyl and partying in Vietnam, we talk about creating online and how he got so good at solving the Twitter puzzle, what we learned from Rick Rubin and our mutual love of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Christopher Nolan, writing a newsletter, doing a podcast, how AI is changing things and why he’s building Bearly.AI, and how ambitions of becoming a screenwriter morphed into something else thanks to the permissionless internet.I had a lot of fun recording this, and I hope it translates when you listen! 💚 🥃Here’s the podcast with Bill Simmons that Trung recommends about 45 minutes into our conversation:* 🎧 How I Built This with Guy Raz — The Ringer: Bill Simmons🎙️ More from Trung 📩Make sure you subscribe to Trung’s newsletter (📩). It’s a mix of long-form features about various companies, products, technologies, entrepreneurs, and funny short-form memes and jokes.The same issue could cover both the science and engineering that went into making iPhone glass more shatter and scratch-resistant using space-age tech AND a meme about wealthy vampires because of compound interest.If you need even more Trung, please make sure to subscribe to ‘Not Investment Advice’, the hilarious and educational podcast that he co-hosts with Jack Butcher and Bilal Zaidi.

| 8/19/23 | ![]() Meta Platforms & Mark Zuckerberg: Going Deep with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI)! 🕵️♂️🩻 | On his sixth appearance on the pod, MBI joins me to discuss the most polarizing of the Big Tech companies: Meta Platforms (the artist formerly known as Facebook).Of course, it’s impossible to talk about it without talking about Mark Zuckerberg, so we try to better understand how he thinks about the company that he founded when he was 19, and how he compares to other founders.There was a lot to cover, and I think we touched on most of the big things: Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, Reality Labs (AR/VR), AI, Threads, regulators, competitors, high-variance founders, and even cage matches (😬)…It was a fun conversation for me, I hope you have as much fun listening to it (and learn a few things about Meta too)! 💚 🥃For more on Meta, check out MBI’s excellent coverage at MBI Deep Dives. He has 10 posts on the company, but I’m going to highlight 5 of them:📄 MBI Deep Dives — META Coverage 🔐* Meta's Moat* Meta's Achilles Heel(s)* Meta 2Q'23 Earnings Update* Meta Needs A Decade Of Efficiency* What’s embedded in Meta’s stock price?

| 5/22/23 | ![]() Microsoft: Going Deep with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI) 🕵️♂️🩻 | I’m excited to share with you another fun conversation with my good friend MBI (💎🐕). This marks his sixth appearance on the podcast, putting him in the lead ahead of David Senra with four (not that anyone’s counting!).Our starting point is his Deep Dive on Microsoft, which I strongly recommend:* 📄 Microsoft: The Quintessential Technology Company (sub. required)It’s an excellent primer and even if you’ve been following Microsoft for a while, I bet you’ll learn a few things!In the podcast, we dive deep into Microsoft and draw parallels with other Big Tech companies and their founders. Particularly between Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, but we also discuss Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple.We also talk about the company’s history of spectacular profitable growth, the Gates era, the Ballmer era, and the ongoing Nadella era. We also look at how Microsoft is positioned in the cloud market against Amazon's AWS and Google’s GCP. ☁️☁️☁️ This is a public episode.

| 2/7/23 | ![]() Big Tech Compensation: Going Deep with MBI | What could be more exciting than carefully reading through Big Tech proxy statements to look at management incentives, comparing them across companies to see what’s similar and different, what we like and don’t like, and how they rank from best to worst..?If this is not your bag, you’re in luck! MBI did this work for you and shared his findings in a post.But that’s just a starting point: In today’s episode, we go deep into Big Tech compensation, and MBI shares additional thoughts and analysis based on feedback he received after publishing his work.

| 1/26/23 | ![]() Interview with David Kim a.k.a. Scuttleblurb (2023 Edition: Exploration as a Service) | David Kim is the author of Scuttleblurb (now also on Substack! More on that new development in the podcast).This is the third time I have interviewed David — he’s that interesting! For more context, you can find the previous two interviews linked below.In this one, David shares his journey as an investor, talks about how Scuttleblurb started and how it’s doing these days, and who inspired him to get started (if Scuttleblurb is the grand-daddy of a lot of current ‘deep dive’ newsletters, who’s the great-grand-daddy?).It’s a two-way conversation, so we also talk about what I’m doing.We also touch on some businesses: Carvana (😬), Texas Instruments (🐜), Sherwin-Williams (🎨), and Transdigm (🛩️).David has a great riff about the various approaches to investing and the trade-offs inherent to each. He also discusses the EQ aspects of investing, which can sometimes be overlooked in favor of the IQ side of things (where there’s also a fluid vs crystalized intelligence dynamic at play over time).David also talks about the two kinds of errors in investing, with examples for each (Twitter & Coinbase!), and when more information can help and when more information can potentially hurt you.📃 Full transcript of the podcast* Transcript: Interview with David Kim a.k.a.

| 12/23/22 | ![]() 'Severance' Season 1: Going Deep with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI) | Let’s go deep into season 1 of Severance (2022, Apple TV+), a thriller with science fiction elements created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. It was nominated for 14 Emmys!🤫 🚨NOTE ON SPOILERS 🚨🤐This podcast has a SPOILER-FREE INTRO.The spoilers only start after the “spoiler horn” about 11 minutes into it (you can’t miss it 📢).So even if you haven’t seen the show, you can listen to the first part — I hope it piques your curiosity and convinces you to check it out!For more of my thoughts on Severance, I also wrote about it in edition #354 (with both a spoiler-free intro and then spoilers).I hope you enjoy it.Covering a TV show is a bit different (David Senra and I discussed Deadwood). But MBI and I still end up talking about Google, Warren Buffett, technological disruption, capital allocation, value creation vs value capture, and workplace productivity. So it’s still us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯We also run a few thought experiments: Would we ever consider getting severed ourselves? Can we imagine scenarios where that would be convincing? If this were offered, what percentage of the population would do it?What about you?The podcast even has some trivia near the end with a Claude Shannon connection! This is a public episode.

| 12/13/22 | ![]() Going Deep on Cloudflare and Datadog with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI) | First, something to keep in mind: This is a conversation about these companies not an interview of MBI. We both talk about equally and ask each other questions. I want to mention it upfront just so you don’t expect a different format going in.I had a great time discussing these two very interesting companies with my friend MBI (💎🐕).When I saw on his 2022 deep dive calendar that he was going to write about Cloudflare and Datadog, I knew we had to find time to talk about them at some point, since I had independently studied both and had a few things to say.We discuss the businesses, technology, products, and management.We also analyze the rise and fall of cloud software stocks over the past few years, issues with stock-based compensation, competition for engineers from Big Tech, how profitable can these companies be at maturity, and a bunch of other related topics and companies.📃 Full transcript* Going Deep on Cloudflare and Datadog with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (Transcript)🎙 More podcasts with MBI:* 🎧 Going deep on Payments with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI): Adyen, PayPal, Stripe, Square, Amazon, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard!* 🎧 Going deep on Constellation Software with Mostly Borrowed Ideas (MBI) This is a public episode.

| 11/29/22 | ![]() Claude Shannon fan club with Jimmy Soni and David Senra 📖 | I’m very happy to share with you this conversation I had with my two very good friends, Jimmy Soni (✍️) and David Senra (🎙📚).We got together for a very special occasion. To talk about this man:Claude Shannon was both a genius and a very authentic human being, and I think more people should learn from him — understanding his masterwork, Information Theory, helps to understand the digital world, but I also strongly believe that reading about how he lived his life can help steer us to a deeper, more satisfying life for ourselves.Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman wrote an excellent biography of Shannon, and this book is the starting point for today’s episode.But in our usual fashion, we don’t stop there and make all kinds of connections to all kinds of other things and people (Ed Thorp, Henry Singleton, Warren Buffett, Vannevar Bush, Dee Hock, Benjamin Franklin, John von Neumann, Alan Turing, Albert Einstein, etc).💚 🥃 Enjoyed this?

| 10/20/22 | ![]() David Senra on Deadwood (also: founders, entrepreneurs, civilization, Henry Singleton, Walt Disney, David Ogilvy, etc) | 🤬 First a warning: This podcast includes a few swear words. It’s impossible — or at least not as fun — to talk about Deadwood without them. It is what it is. 🤬The main topic is Deadwood (HBO, 2004-2006) and what can be learned from the show, but of course, this being David & I, we also talk about:* founders,* entrepreneurs,* obsessive creators,* the power of focus,* the power of strategy,* how civilization emerges,* intelligence as a currency,* violence as humanity’s fatal flaw,* sanitized origin stories,* addiction & abuse,* Andrew Carnegie,* Henry J. Kaiser,* Henry Singleton,* David Ogilvy,* Walt Disney,* Warren Buffett,* planting seeds,* optionality from future technology,* the lessons of history about violence and corruption,* and all kinds of other interesting things.We also talk about Tombstone (1993), which I hadn’t seen at the time, but watched soon after we recorded. I shared some thoughts on it here in edition #338.If you liked the pod and want more, please consider becoming a paid supporter (💚 🥃). This is a public episode.
