Chris Sacca of Lowercase Capital Pt. 2- TWiST

Today on This Week in Startups, investor, entrepreneur and cyclist Chris Sacca of Lowercase Capital joined the program to discuss his investments in Facebook, Twitter, Uber and more. He also gave a candid account of how he hustled his way to the top. And, the interview was so incredible, we had to break it up into two episodes. Here is part two!
*Disclaimer: Chris has a potty mouth and we've attempted to bleep out all of his swear words. We apologize in advance if any snuck by our censors.
1:17:00 What do you think of Sergey?
1:22:30 Why doesn't Twitter own Instagram?
1:25:15 Are you investor in Klout?
1:36:00 Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg with your data?
1:39:30 Is Zuckerberg, at his core, a great product guy?
1:42:15 Is CEO of Yahoo the hardest job in Silicon Valley right now?
1:43:45 Chris explains what Facebook did wrong with their IPO.
1:50:15 What do you think about the prospects for American employment?
1:58:45 What's Obama really like?
2:06:15 Was choosing Sarah Palin the moment when the Republican party jumped the shark?
2:10:30 Chris: There are people who are great at being second fiddle. Companies don't succeed if there are a lot of chiefs and no indians.
2:12:15 Chris: The number one problem in Silicon Valley right now is people taking credit when they shouldn't.
2:20:45 What do you think of Angellist?
2:27:15 Question from the viewers: Where does the name Lowercase Capital come from?
2:29:00 I think this is the longest episode ever.
2:30:25 Thank you to Hiscox and to Stamps.com.
2:30:45 Thank you so much for joining us, Chris. We'll see you all next time.

nice transition "Do you trust mark zuckerburg?!" hahaha

[@alw1915]

For all the wisdom Sacca has and all the correct calls on his Tech Investments. He was terribly wrong about his politics in hindsight.

[@milburgopalomino9444]

If this would've been a 24 hours interview as Chris jokingly said in the end, I would totally watched it! twice!

[@DerekBraid]

Outstanding interview, both parties: Jason and Chris have great rapport and the discussion is fast, smart and thorough. Excellent investment in your time to watch this 2+ hours interview from 3 years ago. Yahoo turnaround story as getting the piss out of the trough, describing facebook pre-mobile revenue explosion is gold. At least 10-20 different stories with good insights.

[@marchollweg6362]

[@drederprops]

Chris Sacca is amazing. Very smart and down to earth guy, and makes everything seems easy and possible.

[@azotidjr]

Awesome! But, Chris needs to forget about the left vs right political paradigm and that govt can solve our problems. Jeez. That was brutal listening to his breakdown of income inequality in America. Please see Hayek, Mises and the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle.

[@cliffhregis]

Best episode I've seen so far!! Sacca's story is inspiring and entertaining.

[@Robgobstoppa]

Walker texas ranger wants his shirt back! But great interview, very insightful!

[@daiji5960]

This is your best interview J cal!! I love the tenacity and authenticity. “Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg?” Lol

[@juan294]

Amazing, fun, and entertaining.

[@JasonCartwright]

Amazing episode / interview with Sacca. You were right Jason, the best episode yet!

[@Alwaysbaggyjeans]

I don't understand the comments that think is wrong for Sacca to talk about politics. They guy is heavily involved in that field, hence his opinion is interesting. Whether people agree or disagree with his view is another matter

[@cme2go]

One of the top three episodes! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

[@rafaeluzzi]

been waiting for this one...the first part was extraordinary.. something for Mr. Sacca in spanish : Gacias por contar su historia y permitirnos conocer un poco sobre el mundo del venture capital y sobre sus primeros pasos como empresario, pura inspiracion mil gracias!!

[@Gtex555]

failed to bleep that one 1:11:44

[@SatchiCreative]

Best ep yet! Hands down! Thanks Jason & team

[@dawilster]

where can I see the uncensored version?

[@EasyAyurvedaEnglish]

oh God! This was superb!!

[@329b8tvr603o42875v]

Phenomenal Interview!

[@turntojesus7338]

Spot on with the question, do you trust mark zuckerburg 😂

[@themagnuspeter]

Amazing interview! thank you :)

[@juan.chaparro]

great interview! you guys rock.

[@realevanbrown]

such an inspiring interview..

[@rajrsa]

Interesting to see how the most knowledgeable guy with a big skin in the game could not foresee what Zuck would do with advertising and how Twitter would kinda lose its way. Super humbling. Can't believe I get to watch this for free.

[@DariuszKierzkowski]

Great interview. What is the name of the song over the end credits?

[@darylgreco7915]

The answer to Gitmo is you release 10 guilty people rather than jail one innocent man. Furthermore they can be held in the American gulag system.

[@Patrickmwai87]

This didn't age well. They are wrong on facebook, instagram and yahoo.

[@jammicnix]

love it…two thumbs up

[@rafaeluzzi]

awesome!!

[@MatevzPetek]

Sweet!

[@PrashantShrestha123]

Facebook is now GIANT.

[@startups]

...and not even at full maturity 😳

[@MiguelSanchez-gu3nt]

My god. Things have changed. Marissa Mayer is a laughing stock and FB is king of all things social.

[@ShawnDanielsMusic]

Truth Conquers

[@MarcinLachner]

Epic.

[@psabdulai]

wow amazing

[@marianascausari15]

It's amazing how people like Sacca can make cronyism sound like altruism.

[@EvaGreenFanPennyDreadful]

Marianas Causari everyone is like that

[@ashalabi7]

I want to punch myself in the face for not seeing this long time ago

[@richthepup]

Seriously this interview talks over everything. I'm trying to listen and every other word is interrupted. Very frustrating

[@SeanLiu01]

I wish the host would stop interrupting Sacca when he's trying to make a point.

[@drederprops]

I'm down for the religion shit!

[@KevinFAdler]

epic

[@BoStanfordify]

Y yo!

[@rbroxton3]

This was interesting until they started talking politics, at which point I was reminded of why I left California.

[@LondonConfidential]

When you listen back to everything Chris Sacca said about politics.. virtually everything he said was absolutely wrong or at best hypocritical. Even today in 2018 he is 'lost' in the Twitter echo chamber parroting pro Democratic Party nonsense.. when if he wasn't so biased, he could see that both sides are as bad as each other.

[@polymathematics_]

oh man, listening to them discuss the Republican party...

[@jzeeTV]

I'm bullish on Jesus.

[@arinmeep]

Sacca is great. Loved the interview but I honestly had to stop watching after hearing all this stuff about Marisa Mayer and the bashing of Zuck, Not for my own opinions but it wasn't the right direction for this interview. I really wish Jason didn't take it that direction.

[@Heavy_Distortion]

the censor beep is annoying. only an idiot would censor dialog on the web.

[@CoDOnlineHQ]

Went a bit off the rails - talking about politics and religion....
