On this special episode of Acquired, we\'re joined by a master interviewer himself, Patrick O\'Shaughnessy from Invest Like the Best. We turn the tables and cover the most fascinating story he\'s never told on ILTB... his own! What is O\\u2019Shaughnessy Asset Management, and how are they bringing "AWS-level" innovation to the sleepy wealth management industry? How did he go from Notre Dame philosophy major to quant researcher to (arguably) technology CEO and now also an early-stage venture investor... all while simultaneously building one of the world\'s top new business media empires? Acquired is here to explore it all.\\xa0
