ASML
Why are we doing an episode about ASML, a business that the BBC referred to in 2020 as "a relatively obscure Dutch company,"? It started with host, Eeke's, curiosity about an iconic company from her homeland of the Netherlands. But the deeper we descended into the ASML world of semiconductors, chips, and lithography, the more we all realized that we had something pretty special on our hands. ASML owns 100 percent of the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) market. These are the machines that the biggest chip producers like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung rely on to power the world's most innovative chips. Their monopoly was a hard won. When they started investing in EUV in the 1980s, neither ASML nor anyone else in the industry knew whether this technology was possible. It was truly science fiction. Then over the span of 40 years, ASML was a part of the most mind breaking technological advancements, beating out competitors in the United States and Japan to ultimately dominate the lithography market. And, enable us to keep up with Moore's Law (which perhaps would be more aptly called 'Moore's Challenge.') ASML is Europe's second largest company, all run from a field in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and in this process, they have built one of the biggest technical moats in the industry.

Trader Joes
Today we are going deep on Trader Joe's and I'll kick things off with a quote from their employee handbook. "Why do customers shop at Trader Joe's? Our people are warm and friendly. It's fun and an adventure. They find unexpected products. They'll experience cheap thrills. Our people are helpful and knowledgeable.They know that we have tested each product to ensure quality and satisfaction. They trust us. You're going to have to be a special person to make sure that when every customer leaves the store, they think to themselves, that was fun. And I got a good deal. When that happens. No one can touch us." Perhaps not the description you would expect about a gross free train. That is exactly the magic of Trader Joe's. It's just...different. The three of us love Trader Joe's product, but we love founder Joe Coulombe even more. He's a true polymath, always finding inspiration and insight from unlikely sources. And Wrote one of our very favorite corporate histories, becoming Trader Joe's.
