Aaron Bush is an investor and writer for The Motley Fool. When's he's not researching stocks for The Fool, he's busy working on his other project, Master The Meta, a SubStack dedicated to all things esports and gaming. I've followed Aaron on Twitter and read his work regularly. 

I wanted him on the show after reading his 5,000 word essay on Unity Software (U). Aaron's post came days after I published my long Twitter Thread on the company, and I wanted to chat about what he found. 

This episode is for those that love deep dives on singular names. We spend nearly the entire podcast discussing Unity's competitive advantages, potential TAM, future growth opportunities, and potential risks to their bull thesis. 

We also discuss the Gartner Hype Cycle and where Unity stands on its graph.
