My guest today is my former teammate Vizi Andrei, founder of The Sovereign Artist program and author of Sovereign Artist: Meditations on Lifestyle Design. Vizi's journey has been anything but conventional. After dabbling in various creative projects, he realized that the internet offers a unique opportunity: the freedom to take countless small risks without catastrophic consequences. He built The Sovereign Artist program to help creators step away from the toxic hustle culture and build sustainable, meaningful lives rooted in creativity, deep work, and sacred leisure. His insights into Slow Living, the Sicilian Dream, and embracing experimentation over optimization can help one break free from comparison traps. He joins me to discuss the dangers of chasing unrealistic benchmarks of success, the myths of modern productivity, how to unlock creative freedom, and MUCH more! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Season 2, Episode 9 | "Without some version of these six words, the change you seek is going to be determined by something other than you." In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch challenge listeners to confront the drift of life and the allure of comfort that keeps us asleep. They introduce a powerful six-word mantra: "Up until now, from now on," as a tool for personal transformation. This episode invites you to draw a line in the sand (or mud), acknowledge past patterns, and consciously choose a new path forward. Through personal anecdotes and practical insights, they explore the discomfort of change and the agency required to live a life of intention. Whether you're stuck in a rut or ready to break free, this conversation is a call to action to embrace voluntary discomfort and redefine your reality. Join the journey from passive existence to active participation in the life you truly desire.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:42 The Drift and Comfort02:39 Six Words That Change Everything11:30 Understanding the Drift15:40 Anchors and Correcting Course20:44 Taking Responsibility for Solutions24:05 The Fulcrum Moment: Honest to Hopeful29:33 The Nature of Change: Embracing Discomfort34:49 Invitation to Participate: Join the Journey40:56 Final Thoughts and Next StepsMentions:M. Scott Peck: Mentioned in the context of people either taking too much responsibility or not enough responsibility. Known for his books "The Road Less Traveled" and "People of the Lie."Dan Tocchini: Credited with introducing the six-word phrase "up until now, from now on."Nassim Taleb: Referenced for his concept of "antifragility," which suggests that systems can become stronger through stress and adversity. Known for his book "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder."Psalm 40: Mentioned metaphorically in reference to being stuck in the mire and needing to draw a line in the mud.Jerzy Gregorek: Referenced for his saying, "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life." Anchor Actions:1. Reflect on Your Default State: Identify whether you tend to take too much responsibility or not enough in your life situations. Use this awareness to expand your perspective. If you usually blame yourself for everything, consider what solutions you could uniquely offer. If you often see yourself as a victim, explore ways you might take responsibility for your actions and outcomes.2. Practice the Six-Word Pivot: Implement the "Up until now, from now on" exercise in your daily life. When you encounter a situation where you feel stuck or dissatisfied, acknowledge it honestly by saying, "Up until now," and then create a hopeful vision for change with "From now on." This practice helps shift your mindset from being reactive to proactive.3. Engage in Community and Hold Account: If you're feeling ready to take a step towards change but need support, consider joining a community that aligns with your goals. Engage in conversations that challenge you and hold you accountable. This could be through MWOD or another group that encourages growth through discomfort and intentional living.Listen to the end of the episode for a bonus!Contact us: hello@mwod.ioJoin Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

“The wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire.” ~Taleb (2014) In this episode, I'm talking about Antifragility, a concept even more powerful than resiliency and grit. It's about overcoming. Harnessing the wind and being the fire that is energized. As Nietzsche (and Kanye) have said…that that don't kill me…can only make me stronger…” Antifragility, resilience, and grit are valuable tools in combating gender inequity so we can transcend and thrive. Despite the barriers that create an unlevel playing field for far too many talented, highly qualified women, it is possible that WE can have the last word in the end if we adopt an antifragility mindset. #tunein to harness your emotional intelligence superpowers! #antifragility #grit #resilience #transcend #thrive Reference The 4Ps Advancement Model™ https://advancingwomenpodcast.com/4ps-advancement-model-problem-patterns-process-proficiency/ Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2014) Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, joins The James Altucher Show to discuss technology and how different systems handle disorder. As humans evolve, technology is constantly being upgraded and replaced with new concepts and ideas. Today, we use technology in almost every aspect of our lives, but do we really understand the advantages and disadvantages of constantly being computerized?In Nassim's book The Black Swan, he highlighted for readers the unusual and unpredictable events that underlie almost everything about our world. Now with his book Antifragile, readers are presented with why we should embrace these uncertainties. The ideas and concepts that Nassim presents today for our listeners are beyond anything you have heard before. Nassim and James talk about several ways that disorder in your life will actually make you stronger. As Nassim tells James in the interview, "If you don't have variability in your life, you are not human." The key is to take these shocks and disruptions and become - as Nassim says - antifragile, making you stronger, more creative, and better able to adapt to each new challenge you face.Nothing is certain in this world; this episode will have you questioning everything you thought you knew.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Despite trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of deaths, the West has nothing to show for the counterinsurgency campaigns it has waged. Despite the enormous industry and vast intellectual and historical apologetics combine, the wasteland is evident to all who take the time to examine the details.

In an episode of LawNext recorded in person at the Clio Cloud Conference in Nashville, Clio founder and CEO Jack Newton discusses the “antifragile” law firm, a concept he introduced in his conference keynote — derived from the book, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb — that certain firms thrive in the face of stressors and adversity, as we saw so clearly during the pandemic. So what is an antifragile law firm and how does a firm become antifragile? Newton and host Bob Ambrogi discuss the concept in greater detail. They also talk about the tenth anniversary of ClioCon, Clio's seventh-annual Legal Trends Report, the competitive landscape for law practice management technology, and the future course of Clio, including whether an IPO is on the horizon.

In this episode, I make the case that insurgencies are antifragile and that counterinsurgencies are fragile for the most part; we discuss the concepts, examine historical and contemporary examples and set the stage for practitioners and scholars to leverage this model to gain a more true understanding of how IW works.References:Nassim Taleb: The Black Swan and Antifragile: Things That Gain from DisorderDouglas Porch: Counterinsurgency: Exposing the Myths of the New Way of WarMy Substack:https://t.co/7a8jn2MmnxEmail at cgpodcast@pm.me.
On this episode, Bryn Jones, Co-Founder and CEO, and Tyler Calder, CMO, both at PartnerStack, discuss future-proofing your business with partner ecosystems. Businesses no longer need salespeople to sell their products. And that, to a large extent, is what this conversation is about. The following points are covered: Why partner ecosystems are important, and why businesses should put serious investment into them. The very tangible results when companies invest in this area properly. Know who you are building for in order to increase engagement. Why centralizing partnerships is advantageous. What to expect in terms of a timeframe for return. Starting with an inbound strategy is the best way to go to market. Outbound is successful only when you know exactly who to target. 20-25% of people that you recruit will be successful, however, don't expect to magically generate 30-40% incremental revenue. There's a deliberate investment required in partner programs, the same as if you were building a sales team.

Haywood Glover, Demand Process Manager is an expert at analyzing risk. He brings a lot to the table on the topic of the meaning of risk by being a naturally risk-averse person. The conversation transitioned to personal experiences and the risks that people take to find meaningful relationships. We delve into the advantages and disadvantages of either being too cautious or too vulnerable. How do we interpret red flags in the dating arena? Do we overanalyze things or are our instincts helping us to make better-informed decisions for self-preservation? "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Britney writes into the show to ask, as a long time fan and follower of various personal finance resources, what should she do now that her family's budget is pretty much dialed in? How can she avoid constantly looking at the app to check that the budget is still working? Jesse reminds us that budgeting should, eventually, become boring for everyone. It may not be the goal, but it's at least a hallmark of a succesful budgeting practice! After that, maybe it's time to find a new hobby...

Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.
“Feel free to mishandle” This message would be something you can put on a moving box of something that is antifragile. In this episode I explore the term of antifragile. I also share a few things I learned from the book named after the term Antifragile, things that gain from disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I talk about things like nature and our muscles being antifragile. There are a few other nuances to the term however I love thinking about this that we are designed to get stronger in the midst of chaos.

If someone were to ask you what is the opposite of fragile you would automatically say antifragile. Thus, if fragile means that something breaks easily then antifragile should ideally mean something that does not break easily. Interestingly, that is not quite accurate. Antifragile is not something that does not break. It's more than that. It's something that benefits from pressure. If you build an antifragile business then you will not only be protected during adversity but will also be able to benefit from it. Summary:Nassim Taleb, in his book, ‘Antifragile' talks about the different systems that are currently there in our society. Some are fragile, some are robust, and some are antifragile. Listen to this Podcast by Edelweiss MF to learn about antifragile systems and how you can create such systems.Key takeaways:· Antifragile systems are well-positioned to benefit from external shocks and volatility· If you create an antifragile system then you will be able to face adversity and bounce back from it, maybe even finding opportunities to turn the adversity into a benefit.· Nature and human bodies are examples of antifragile systems as they have persisted for millennia.· Work and industry sectors can also be divided into fragile, robust, and antifragile. People who are mid-level executives at large firms are extremely fragile as their work depends on their reputation.· To both survive and thrive, you must build an antifragile ecosystemTaleb's book opens your eyes to a whole new approach to dealing with adversity and identifying areas of opportunity. You can listen to the podcast on the Edelweiss Mutual Fund website, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcast.

Summary of the book titled Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder from 2014 by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. This summary is based on Larry Prusak's summary which Taleb has praised, another summary found on Farnam Steet Blog, and my own reading experience. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I though it would be interesting to see how systems can work beyond sustainability and robustness, antifragile, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb defines it. The book is about how systems can become antifragile and what the advantages are of becoming one through many different examples. You can find the book through this link. Book description from Amazon: Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it. The transcripts are available through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on twitter @WTF4Cities!

In this episode I talk about Antifragility, a powerful concept introduced by Nassim, Nicholas Taleb in his bestselling book, Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder. Think the oppositive of fragile is resilient? Nope! Fragile is negative and resilient is neutral. The oppositive of a negative is a positive, so the opposite of fragile is antifragile. Antifragility is increasing in capability and thriving because of stressors, shock, and volatility. As Nietzsche (and Kanye) have said…that that don't kill me…can only make me stronger…” Antifragility is more than resiliency or robustness. The resilient maintains under stress or pressure…the antifragile gets better. Antifragility, resilience, and grit are pragmatic as they relate to combating gender inequity so we can transcend and thrive. Despite the host of inequities, biases and barriers that create an unlevel playing field for talented, highly qualified women, it is possible that WE can have the last word in the end if we adopt an antifragility mindset. We can become stronger, better, more proficient, not despite, but because of these inequities. And that is a mindset shift that can serve us. Do not miss this episode to hear more about how to harness your emotional intelligence superpowers from adaptability, to empathy, to excellent communication. We know that women must consistently be mindful of monitoring and adapting in response to biases. Although this is unfair and inequitable, there can be tremendous growth to our skillset if we have the right mindset. As Taleb states “the wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire.” This episode is about harnessing the wind and being the fire that is energized. #antifragility #grit #resilience #robus #transcend #thrive Reference The 4Ps Advancement Model™ https://advancingwomenpodcast.com/4ps-advancement-model-problem-patterns-process-proficiency/ Website: www.advancingwomenpodcast.com Instagram @advancingwomenpodcast email drdesimone@advancingwomenpodcast.com Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2014) Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder.

In the last episode, we talked about how stress can actually be good for us. And I remembered a book that talks about things that gain from chaos and disorder. So let us dive into how other things that are perceived to be negative, can be beneficial to us, or how we can use the negativity to our advantage.
This week, Vicky and Joe abandon the planned podcast and talk about something else instead: the stories we tell ourselves. Why we think and believe what we do, why we make snap judgements that we're not proud of, how to stay up to date with what's going on in the world, and how we try to be better people than we were yesterday. There's a little bit of talk-therapy going on, and a special appearance by Whiskey the little grey cat. Enjoy! Key Takeaways: [3:00] Vicky and Joe talk about their impression of Nassim Necolas Taleb, the author of the book Antifragile. [5:15] Vicky sees her parents getting older and having difficulty moving, which makes her strive to get a healthy body. [7:00] Small businesses individually are fragile, because most of them fail. However, the whole small business community is very antifragile because they learn from each other's mistakes. [9:15] Joe talks about her parents being left behind by technology and wonders how difficult it would be for him and his wife Vicky after 40 years. [13:00] Vicky shares the reason why she didn't have a scale in her house. [14:15] We need to examine how we react to things and the judgments we make. [15:00] Why is diversity training not useful in many cases? [16:00] Vicky is frustrated with how people do not seem to be kind enough to others. [17:30] Misunderstanding feminism prevents us from showing what we really feel. It's hurting not just one person, but everybody. [19:00] Vicky's perception of how much a person should weigh is due to how she was raised by her mother. [21:15] It is so hard for people to change their minds in terms of religion or vaccination, because they don't base it on facts but on beliefs. [23:50] You'll never achieve your goal by putting limits on yourself to do things subconsciously, and not do the things that need you to get there. [27:40] Always try to be a better human being and be kind.

“We can’t control what happens in our life, but we can control how we respond to it.” -Master Certified Coach, Jill Farmer In today’s episode Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer talks with us about what we can learn from the Navy SEALs. We know that being a Navy SEAL is an extremely difficult job, we know that it is a highly stressful career. But did you know that researchers have found that they handle that stress extremely well? So what qualities do the Navy SEALs possess that help them move through these highly stressful and pressurized situations so well? Jill breaks it down for us in hopes that we can use some of these tools in our own lives to manage stress and become more resilient. Books and other resources mentioned in the show: There’s Not Enough Time:…and other lies we tell ourselves by Jill Farmer Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (Incerto) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck Stress Management: Enhance your well-being by reducing stress and building resilience Prepared by the editors of Harvard Health Publishing in consultation with Gregory Fricchione, MD, Director, Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Mind Body Medical Institute Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School. 53 pages. (2020) Excerpts from the show: “It's common when you're reading articles about things like resilience and the ability to work under pressure, people keep talking about the Navy SEALs. And I was always like, ‘What is it with the Navy SEALs that seems to be so interesting to organizational psychologists and people that talk about performance?’ It's really interesting to research it just a little bit. So I'm going to share a little bit about what I learned and give you some practical, tactical, tangible ways that you can take some of the things that work well for the Navy SEALs into your practice and your life as well. For those of you that are not military experts, as I am not, a Navy SEAL is an elite special ops force that's within the Navy and it stands for sea, air and land. It's a special operations training that's very very hard to even be considered for, and for the thousands of recruits who actually meet these really astronomically challenging standards of physical and intellectual ability, you have to be really smart and in incredible physical shape, exceptional in your athletic ability. Only 250 people out of those thousand who get into training actually complete it because the training is really beyond grueling. So I'm not asking you to become superhuman or go through any superhuman training like what we see in the Navy SEALs, it's just to notice one of the things that has been shown as they've been researched time and time again is that they’re in highly stressful and pressurized situations but they seem to be able to handle it extremely well.” -Master Certified Coach, Jill Farmer “So it's something that I've said for years and I think I even wrote about this in my book, There's Not Enough Time and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves : We can't control what happens in our life but we can control how we respond to it. What I discovered when I was researching this and writing my book about ten years ago, is that a lot of what I was doing in life was reacting, which was the amygdala kind of hijacking my brain and causing me to react without thinking. It was that split-second reaction which can be helpful, but what I wanted to learn how to do better was to respond. To not let my most primitive brain center that can only hear danger and alert signals make fight or flight based decisions for me, but to be able to pause just long enough to respond in a way that was going to create better outcomes, better results. Things are going to turn out better and that's something that the Navy SEALs seem to be really able to do in research that I found that was highlighted recently in a stress management special health report written by Harvard Medical School on enhancing your well-being by reducing stress and building resilience.” -Master Certified Coach, Jill Farmer “Nassim Nicholas Taleb, coined the term anti-fragile and he even wrote a book about being antifragile (Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder). He defines fragility as the tendency to be damaged by volatility, uncertainty, the kind of things that often create that chronic stress response. He says an anti-fragile person realizes that stress is just the price we pay for being alive. Being antifragile helps us use our strengths to overcome challenges and become stronger in the process which is kind of the definition of resilience. So in this post-Covid year, we’re hearing a lot about resilience and it can feel really hard because we’re in what people like organizational psychologist Adam Grant are calling this languishing state where it's like, ‘Okay we survived it, not necessarily in full burnout mode where I'm paralyzed or not doing anything, but I'm not feeling a lot of juice, mojo or motivation;’ what is described in psychology as languishing. So resilience is that trait where we’re able to kind of dig deep a little bit and move through these challenging situations and move on to a position where we're not just sort of surviving or languishing, but we're actually able to get into what I would describe as thriving mode again.” -Master Certified Coach, Jill Farmer Get One-on-One Coaching with Coach Gabriella Dennery MD Get One-on-One Coaching with Master-Certified Coach Jill Farmer DocWorking believes the time has come to prioritize the health and wellness of physicians.

Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don't understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.

Geoff and Chad have been discussing this concept of "antifragile" from "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder"(a book) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. As Geoff explains the concept that there is no word for the opposite of fragile and the concepts that Nassim explains, we start to explore the possible applications.Your first thought maybe that steel is antifragile, but you are mistaken. Steel is robust; it does not change in disorder; it remains static. While something that is genuinely antifragile grows from this disorder.Join us for more conversation and community in the Kairos Talks Facebook Group!Click Here to Join the Group

Rich Diviney lives to discover, inspire, and accelerate the potential of human beings. As a Retired Navy SEAL Commander, he completed more than 13 overseas deployments. He also spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. In January 2021, Rich will release his first book, The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. Rich breaks down how your average teams can become high-performing teams, the mental strategies we can use to overcome stressful situations, and why we need to screen for attributes, not necessarily skill sets. Rich also works with Simon Sinek to help leaders and organizations create environments where people feel valued and free to explore their potential. Key Takeaways [4:25] When RIch was tasked with creating resilience among SEAL Teams, he created the “Mind Gym” concept. [6:00] Rich believed that, through resiliency, you could label and reframe PTSD in a new way. [10:15] One of the ways we can take care of ourselves mentally is to slow down and to let our brains rest. Sleep is the #1 way to recover. [11:05] If you’re stressed out, turn off the news. It’s one of the primary sources of stress because they throw so many unknown variables at you. [14:25] Rich is not always striving for peak performance. Instead, he searches for optimal performance, which he defines as, “How can you do the very best you can in the moment with what you’ve got.” [17:25] Our attributes will tell us how we will perform when things go sideways. The good news is that we can develop our attributes. [21:55] Why does someone want to be in special operations forces? Rich believes that the reason is actually rooted in narcissism. We all want to be the best. We all want to prove we are the best. [24:15] Rich breaks drive down into five attributes: Self-efficacy. Discipline. Open-mindedness. Cunning. Narcissism. [27:15] The smaller the team or the smaller the organization, Rich doesn’t see the same “groupthink” traits as he does in larger organizations. He believes this is due to lack of structure and corporate refinement. [32:10] You are not allowed to designate yourself as a leader. Leadership is a behavior that others are drawn to. People choose to follow a leader. [37:55] It is completely possible to recharge our mental and physical wellbeing during a stressful situation. It can be through meditation, through a quick nap, or even a visualization of what makes you happy. [44:00] In high-performing teams, Leadership roles and responsibilities will change to different people based on their expertise or who might be closer to a situation at the time. Rich has seen that leadership is fluid and people, including leaders, will shift power roles to the one who is most capable given the situation. [44:35] Trust is the key element to any high-functioning and high-performing team. They lean on each other. [45:35] Listener challenge: Break some of the preconceived constraints and boundaries that have been built on your current team. Quotable Quotes “Resiliency doesn’t describe what high performers do. Resiliency by definition is the ability to get knocked off of baseline and get back to baseline.” “One of the ways we can all take care of ourselves mentally is to actively find ways to slow ourselves down and turn off the outside world.” “Things that bring you joy. Any time you engage in an activity that you feel more full after doing, you’re likely in recovery mode.” “What defines optimal performance — can you keep on moving and what are the attributes you bring to the table?” “If teams want to figure out how to manage in uncertainty, they need to look at attributes vs. just skill.” “We are biologically designed to want to stand out. Narcissism in small doses, the desire to be special, can be a very, very powerful driver in performance.” Resources Mentioned Rich’s website & upcoming book: Theattributes.com Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, by Angela Duckworth The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by: Cultivate Grit.

To have "skin in the game" is to have incurred risk by being involved in achieving a goal. Taleb extends the definition to include any risk so that "Every captain goes down with every ship". This removes the agency problem or in other words "Situation in which the manager of a business is not the true owner, so he follows a strategy that cosmetically seems to be sound, but in a hidden way benefits him and makes him antifragile at the expense (fragility) of the true owners or society. When he is right, he collects large benefits; when he is wrong, others pay the price. Typically this problem leads to fragility, as it is easy to hide risks. It also affects politicians and academics. A major source of fragility. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support
Richard and Eric take a dive into the concept of profession scalability articulated by essayist and scholar Nassim Taleb. After defining terms, they ask whether the current conductor/music-teacher profession model is changing rapidly into something very different. How has the 2020 pandemic (and the internet/technology intersection) perhaps shaped the future of the profession? Could we be in store for something unrecognizable, sooner than later? They finally realize they are (most certainly) dwarves.Taleb, N. N. (2014). Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (Incerto) (Reprint ed.). Random House Trade Paperbacks.Taleb, N. N. (2010).

In this episode, we have a conversation with John Bunch, Lead Organizational Designer and Adviser to the CEO Tony Hsieh at Zappos. John joined Zappos.com in 2009 as a Software Developer and moved on to lead the Public API team. John was the Implementation Lead during Zappos’ shift to Holacracy and self-organization. Coming out of the rollout of Holacracy, John transitioned to leading internal infrastructure and systems design.In the conversation, we talk about how Zappos - through the application of Holacracy and marked-based dynamics - is becoming a thriving entrepreneurial organization. We use the city as a metaphor for the high diversity, high productivity organisation that Zappos strives to be, based on shared enabling services and micro-enterprising. We also explore the concept of the “triangle of accountability” that guides the organizational development and the specific hiring process that helps make sure that people who join the company are aligned with the values and ways of working applied in Zappos.Remember that you can find the show notes and transcripts from all our episodes on our Medium publication. https://medium.com/@meedabyte/a2aaa916663e?source=friends_link&sk=3c1f7e1c2614731316fb0700295f982aHere are some important links from the conversation:Find out more about John’s work> LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-bunch/> Zappos: https://www.zappos.com/> Zappos Expertise: https://expertise.zappos.com/Other references and mentions:> Tony Hsieh, Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446576220> Zappos Adaptive: https://www.zappos.com/e/adaptive> Nassim Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, https://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446576220Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcastThanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.

Fragile things hate chaos, volatility and randomness. The slightest jolt can break them. But what is the opposite of fragility? Not resilience or robustness. Resilient things are neutral to stressors. They take a beating, but remain unchanged. So what likes from disorder? Our languages don't have a word for such a property, or at least they didn't, until Nassim Taleb came around. Antifragile is the property of things that gain from disorder: like muscle, economies, creativity, and character....

You can find a blog version of it at CareerPivot.com/surviving-creative-destruction and the PDF version of the presentation can be found at https://careerpivot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Embrace-Creative-Destruction-podcast.pdf [4:30] Marc starts by defining creative destruction as industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, destroying the old one and creating a new one. It has been going on for many centuries. One technology destroys a previous one. Jobs are destroyed and jobs are created. [5:01] Creative destruction is accelerating. Understand it, or become a turkey. Nassim Taleb said, in Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, “A butcher feeds a turkey for 1,000 days. Every day, the turkey’s life remains constant and confirms the surety of his current existence. This is the way it goes. This is the way it always has gone. [5:39] “This is the way it will always go. All his data confirms that butchers love turkeys. The turkey can rest confident in this idea because he has 999 days of benevolent treatment to back it up. Then, a few days before Thanksgiving, everything in his worldview is upturned.” [6:02] This is what Taleb calls a Black Swan Event. All the evidence proves it can’t happen — until it does. [6:14] In 1905 there were 400K pianos made and sold. If you wanted music in your house, you bought a piano. In 1877, the phonograph was created but it didn’t destroy pianos. In the 1930s, radio came about. In 1919, phonographs had a revenue that was three times that of pianos. [6:50] It took from 1877 to 1919 for phonographs to start taking over for pianos. By 1933, two-thirds of all households had a radio. In 2013, 30K pianos were sold. Steinway, the major piano manufacturer stopped making pianos in WWII and made coffins. [7:21] What came out of the demise of the piano is the music industry of today, whether online or radio. It took 50 years for the changeover to happen. [7:51] Kodak was in the business of film, not cameras. In the 1990s, Marc worked in an IBM briefing center when Kodak came in for a briefing. Kodak knew they had a problem with the coming digital revolution. They were not sure how to make the transition. Kodak created the first digital camera in 1975. [8:58] The problem was, Kodak didn’t see why anyone would want to see their pictures on a TV screen. So they didn’t do anything with it. By 2001, 26 years later, Kodak was number two in the digital camera market. Marc had one of those Kodak digital cameras. Kodak lost $60.00 on every sale. Kodak declared bankruptcy in 2012. [9:44] The digital image revolution was the creative destruction that took down Kodak in less than 40 years. [9:55] There are all kinds of things that happened as part of the digital image revolution and the demise of the photographic film industry. [10:10] Adobe, Canva, JacquieLawson.com, Steve Coyle Photography and many more are examples of companies created by the digital image revolution. [11:19] Amazon was founded in 1993. Amazon’s business was selling books. It took 18 years to put Borders Group out of business. Things are accelerating. Amazon introduced Prime in 2005. Marc has a Vitamix blender. One Sunday morning Marc broke the glass container. He had a replacement by 5:00 pm from Amazon. [12:27] Amazon is having incredible impacts on all retail. Sears, JCPenney, and JoS. A. Bank are three examples of companies hurt by Amazon. The number accelerates. Fulfillment by Amazon allows anybody to sell online. Last week, Jean LeFebvre explained her offering, Wardrobe Jazz, on Episode 148 of the podcast. [13:11] Marc has a friend who has two products he sells on Amazon. One is a set of gym gloves and the other is a wrist strap for weightlifting. He sources all of his products out of China. [13:59] OnlineSellingExperiment.com is a competitor to the Amazing Selling Machine. They teach how to sell on Amazon. Marc learned about Online Selling Experiment from Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income podcast. Online Selling teaches retail arbitrage for buying things on clearance and selling them competitively online. [15:33] Amazon has created all kinds of opportunities, besides destroying retail. [15:47] Marc takes a moment to talk about the Career Pivot Membership Community, which continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the beta phase of this project to grow and thrive. [16:06] Marc reads a member testimonial from community member Mark: “Wondering what’s next? You want meaningful work and more freedom to pursue what matters most to you in your second half of life? Since joining the Career Pivot Community, I’ve found like-minded people in a similar path. [16:25] “Marc Miller is a master at creating community and meaningful connections. This has been encouraging and informative and a confidence booster. If you want to go further and faster, join Career Pivot.” [16:39] This is a paid membership community where Marc offers group coaching, special content, mastermind groups, branding sessions, Slack channels, and more importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to CareerPivot.com/Community to sign up to learn more. [17:00] The iPhone was created in 2007. We used to buy cameras, maps, and newspapers. We used to search for keys. Marc uses the Tile to find his keys. We used to have to carry insurance cards. Now, Marc has his State Farm app on his phone. [17:48] You used to have to buy a TV and buy cable. Now you can get TV directly on your phone with services like SlingTV. Also, Marc can answer all the questions his wife asks him just by “Googling.” We used to have phones on the wall. We now have Skype on our phones. [18:20] We text one another. The most-used app among Marc’s gringo expats is Whatsapp, which is an app for calling and texting without connecting to a phone network. The iPhone and smartphones have changed the world so much. [18:50] Think of the number of products that have been destroyed. Think of the service jobs that have been lost. Now you can order your Big Mac® on your phone. New industries are being created. Social media brings interconnectedness. We now have the Internet of Things, including the Tile and the Ring doorbell camera and connected apps. [19:52] You can now create audiobooks and other forms of audio. You can have a podcast like Marc, on iTunes (Apple Podcasts). Marc will use ACX to make an Audible audiobook from Repurpose Your Career, third edition. [20:22] All of this has accelerated. Are you scared or excited? This will affect you. What can you do about it? 1) Attend an industry conference every year. 2) Listen to industry podcasts. 3) Get online training. [21:16] Marc has attended the National Career Development Association Conference, several Birkman Conferences (because he is a Birkman consultant) and Podcast Movement. Marc plans to go to the 2020 Podcast Movement conference. Why attend conferences? You need the face-to-face contact with people to keep up with trends. [22:07] Marc either stays at the conference hotel at a discount or at a hotel within walking distance of both the hotel and a Whole Foods store where Marc picked up dinner and the next day’s breakfast of yogurt and fruit. [22:47] Podcasts are a wonderful way to keep learning. There is usually a podcast for your topic of interest. If there really isn’t, why don’t you start one? There are many places to listen to podcasts. Marc’s two favorite financial podcasts are Roger Whitney’s The Retirement Answer Man and Alworth Financial’s Money Matters. [23:58] Marc also listens to Buffer’s The Science of Social Media, Problogger, and Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income podcast. [24:16] Online training is not expensive. Marc gives examples such as MOOC.org, and EDX.org, Udacity, General Assembly, Skillcrush, LinkedIn Training, Coursera, Skillshare, and Udemy. Anyone can put up a course and sell it on Udemy. [25:21] You need to be attending industry conferences, listening to podcasts, and taking online training. If you do not, you could very easily find yourself in a career disaster area. Marc wrote an article on Living in a Career Disaster Area based on two clients who saw their careers blow up in under five years. [25:54] When you start looking at career pivots, look for jobs that have ‘legs.’ Ask yourself if industries will survive because creative destruction is killing so much. Listen to Episode 143 with Russ Eanes. Russ got hit with a double whammy in the business of religious publications. Religion is in decline, and publishing is in decline. [27:08] Russ got really tired of laying people off. There are just so many times you can lay off a friend before it really takes a toll on you. [27:30] Hopefully, you now understand that have to manage your career, your skill sets, and where your industry is going. Creative destruction will continue to accelerate. Where is your career going and where is your industry going? If you can’t answer those questions clearly and confidently, the chances are you will be a turkey! [28:20] Pick up the book Repurpose Your Career third edition and this presentation is essentially found in one of the chapters in it. Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. [28:45] The Career Pivot Membership Community continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project grow and thrive. [28:52] This is a community where everyone is there to help everyone else. Marc is recruiting members for the next cohort. If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [29:13] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you listen to this podcast. You can look for Career Pivot on Facebook, LinkedIn, or @CareerPivot on Twitter. [29:24] Please come back next week!

I’ve known Tucker Max for 2 decades now. 20 years ago, he emailed me for advice. I told him to quit his job. And he did. He’s the bestselling author of “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.” And I always tell people that if they want to study good writing, go read 10 pages of Tucker's books. “My stuff blew up... All I did was stand up and use my real name and tell my real stories about my real life.” So now Tucker wants to help other people get out there and tell their truth. This part 1 of my interview will tell you how to separate the truth from everything else. Then (in part 2), Tucker will tell you how to deal with fear, how to find your audience, and how to write.

Maestros del Escalamiento: A podcast by the Entrepreneurs’ Organization
Resumen Rafael Borbón es un emprendedor del capítulo de la Ciudad de México que ha logrado escalar su empresa a niveles impresionantes. Exfarma es una empresa de distribución farmacéutica que tiene 11 años en el mercado. Durante ese tiempo, han logrado crecer de 4 a 1500 empleados. Rafael explica que a él le ha funcionado enfocarse en una industria, en vez de diversificarse. Su empresa tiene dos nichos principales: marcas propias de genéricos y servicios integrales de abasto. Aunado a esto, tiene otros negocios sobre servicios de salud. Notas 1:09 Nuestro invitado, Rafael Borbón del Capítulo de la Ciudad de México, habla sobre su empresa Exfarma. 3:03 Daniel hace una reflexión sobre la empresa de Javier y le dice que 1500 familias dependen de él. Le pregunta cómo se siente al respecto. 4:13 Rafael explica cómo descubrió EO y por qué decidió unirse. 5:50 Daniel le pregunta qué es lo que le ha dado EO. Lo que más aprecia es su foro. 8:30 El consejo que Rafael se daría a si mismo hace 30 años es: Definir una industria, especializarse un poco y establecer relaciones en esta industria. 10:00 El éxito para Rafael tiene que ver con la parte familiar, personal y de negocio. Si estás bien tú, estás bien con tu familia y tu trabajo. En el mundo empresarial, el éxito lo tiene el que logra manejar su desbalance de la mejor manera. 13:50 Rafael habla sobre los proyectos que ha tomado, que mucha gente pensaría que está loco, por los riesgos que implican. Menciona que no hay que dejarse llevar por las creencias de los demás. 14:40 Daniel le pregunta al invitado cómo ha financiado sus negocios. Rafael menciona que “Cash is King”. Él responde que en México es muy difícil obtener financiamiento en bancos. Dice que eso ha sido un gran reto. También le ha pedido dinero a amigos y familia. 17:00 “Los hombres orquesta, are doomed to die. Tienes que tener un equipo.” 20:09 Rafael habla sobre su fracaso favorito. 21:14 La mejor decisión que Rafael ha tomado es darle libertad e independencia a sus directores. Tener un equipo de gente capaz y responsable. 22:07 En lo que más se fija cuando contrata a alguien es la empatía y ganas de aprender. 23:05 Lo que le recomendaría a alguien que este saliendo de la carrera, es que hagan las cosas con pasión. 24:00 Rafael opina que es mejor enfocarse que diversificarse. 25:10 La mejor inversión que ha hecho es casarse. Su esposa es el motor que lo ha llevado. 26:05 Crear, desarrollar nuevas ideas, la soledad y poder disfrutar las altas y bajas es lo que más le ha gustado de ser emprendedor.

Why do you actually do for a living and how you've got there? Neil has a company that helps you build your brand beer, either for events (weddings, parties, conference, etc), venues (chef that wants to pair beers), and already established brands. How Neil bootstrapped his company while trying to have reduce his home brewing costs, and even before having customers. If you ask enough, you can see the Made You Drink beer soon. “You don't know where things are going to go until you actually start working on them”. 8:20 – Nat helps ecommerce and tech startups appear on the front page of Google and increase traffic from Google through SEO and content. Stats of his company. 1428 – Funny fact, Nat and Neil went to the same university in Pittsburg, and went through the same Startup Accelerator, but never met before. Why Twitter is the catalyst for the best friendships, and why it's so hard to monetize it. Paying twice to build and reach your audience on Facebook. Who controls Twitter and Facebook celebrities' accounts. 19:58 – Question #2. Favorite podcasts. Mentioned Jocko Podcast Joe Rogan Experience Sam Harris’ Waking Up Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History Invest Like the Best podcast History on Fire Unchained A16z Kevin Rose Shane Parrish’s The Knowledge Project Rhonda Patrick’s Found my Fitness Bill Simmons Podcast Skip and Shannon: Undisputed Podcast Good Beer Hunting Brewers' Journal Podcast Episodes: Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan’s, Daniele Bolelli from the Drunken Taoist on Joe Rogan’s, Jordan Peterson's Biblical Series, Al Pacino and Kevin Durant on Bill Simmons’. Recommended Tim Ferriss Episodes: Jamie Foxx, Jocko Willink, The Erotic Playbook of a Top-Earning Sex Worker (NSFW), Naval Ravikant, Peter Thiel, Dom D’Agostino, Kevin Rose, Kelly Starrett, Derek Sivers, Kevin Kelly, Ed Cooke 27:56 – Question #3. Routines to get into flow, specially If you need to write a 2-3000 words blog post. How much coffee Neil needs to get into flow. Neil's realization to keep going until getting a decent piece of work. The playlist to get into the mood. Nat tips: making super easy to start, getting all notifications off, being super clear on what are the next steps, changing context. The template Nat use for writing a massive article, and why he doesn’t starts with the intro. The endure-for-20min-and-then-you-can-quit psychological trick. Being in-interruptible. 28:18 – Question #4. Is doing business an intellectual challenging activity? What if it is not? The overlap of intellectually curious people and entrepreneurs. Early days of a business are very intellectual and exploration, while growth stage is a lot tweaking and optimization. Why intellectual people have the need to compulsively start new companies. Books that coincided with the business stage. How to find motivation to start exploring. 48:23 – Question #5. Advice for college student graduating in 2018? What problems to work on? First thing: think before graduating. Find an internship that has the potential to get you full time, in an area you are interested in. The problem with Ivy League students going to Google, Facebook or big consulting firms. Realize how low risk your life is. Focusing on skills rather than problems. The awareness that you may not know what problems are out there. 55:05 – Question #6. How do you apply the insights from books? Start a podcast and speak with your friends every week :). How Nat takes detailed notes "reading" the book 4 times. Writing as an exercise to build the synopsis with other books' concepts. No need to change the structure of your business. New concepts are useful to see problems from different angles, not overhauling processes. 59:39 – Question #7. How to network online? Tips to connect through the most powerful platforms, Twitter and cold email. 1:02:59 – Question #8. Future of Work: Deep Work vs Shallow Work, solopreneurship, and attention deficit, etc. Trade off between Improved communication and increased interruptibility. The problem with open office workspaces. Trends: remote working, polarization of work between employees and contractors, performance based work environment. Before, power was a function of the organizational structure or buildings, now it's a function of ability or what you do, because it's much easier to show usefulness. 1:13:20 – Single person companies that make over $1 million a year. Personal branding. Having proof of concept on our own site. 1:14:21 – Nat’s proof of concept that you can have 1 person business based on SEO. How Nat arrived to get 8k daily visitors by chance writing sex articles. 1:19:00 – More trends about work: It will be possible for fewer people to do more. The Internet as the effect of compounding of technology. AI is starting to replace White collar jobs. How AI would be able to replace the 90% of the writing work right now. 1:28:04 – Question #9. Is there a trade off between happiness and achievement? Does a gain in power detract from happiness? The Internet gives us the ability to compare us to the whole world, in detriment of the in-group. Opportunity costs of least profitable ventures. The problem with Digital Nomadism. Considering second and third order effects in the happiness-power equation. The intersection between personal achievement and service to the community. What's happiness anyway? Doing sacrifices for achieving joy, as athletes do. 1:43:00 – Sponsors!

Have you seen great ideas or apparently-solid organizations fail because of some random event or unexpected shock? Does your organization spend significant resources on trying to avoid volatility or uncertainty? What if shocks, volatility, and uncertainty were actually what your ideas or organization need in order to really take off? This summary shows how the key to thriving is not avoiding stress but embracing the concept of “antifragility.” The antifragile is the opposite of fragile; it is something that loves randomness and uncertainty and is strengthened by a shock. Antifragility is inherent in all the natural and complex systems that survived over time. Our modern civilization is intent on damping down volatility and randomness and avoiding stressors; but once we grasp the importance of antifragility, we realize that our modern approach actually causes harm. Suppressing volatility and randomness in our economy, our health, our education, or our political life makes those systems more fragile. Without stressors, complex systems become weak and even die
“Skin in the Game is about four topics in one: a) uncertainty and the reliability of knowledge (both practical and scientific, assuming there is a difference), or in less polite words bullshit detection, b) symmetry in human affairs, that is, fairness, justice, responsibility, and reciprocity, c) information sharing in transactions, and d) rationality in complex systems and in the real world. That these four cannot be disentangled is something that is obvious when one has…skin in the game.” In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and I discuss Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life by Nassim Taleb. In this book, Taleb touches in many of the topics he’s covered in his previous work, such as virtue signaling and probability, and most of all, true risk taking. "[...] what people resent—or should resent—is the person at the top who has no skin in the game [...]" We cover a wide range of topics, including: Academia and its capability —or lack of it— of predicting real life. Having skin in the game and how it affects your behavior. How minorities impose their preferences to majorities. Judging a complex system by its elements. Sam Harris’ scalding opinion of Nassim Taleb. Virtue signaling. And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to grab a copy of Skin in the Game by Nassim Taleb. "Not everything that happens happens for a reason, but everything that survives survives for a reason." If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our episode on Antifragile by Nassim Taleb to dive deeper into Taleb’s work, and our episode on 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson, so you too can imagine the awesome podcast Jordan and Taleb could create together.

Contrasts and relations between his previous works and Skin in the Game. A greater focus in philosophy and morals, rather than the mathematical focus of his other books. Skin in the game concept for business and non-business people. 06:38 – Taleb's use of criticism of other people, perhaps partially for publicity reasons. Criticizing people at your own weight vs needless harassment. The Ayn Rand effect. 08:50 – The books’ introduction. Academia vs real life. You can’t predict the behavior of a system by studying the behavior of individual elements within the system. Emerging qualities of complex systems. Academia back-explaining knowledge that’s created practically. Skin in the game for Roman architects and medicine scientists. 14:57 – True progress is only possible when you actually stand to lose something should you fail. Defining “rent-seeking” as opposite for “skin in the game”. Different types sorts of investments and whether they constitute rent-seeking. 19:25 – The contents of the book can become a lens through which you see the world. 20:03 – Sponsors. Get a shot of Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee mixed with MCT oil powder from Perfecto Keto. Follow our advice, we have skin in the coff… in the game. 20:59 – You can’t judge whether something is robust, if it can survive stressors, if you’re not at risk in case it can’t. The test of time. 23:30 – Business plans and their usefulness, or usefulness for procrastination. 24:54 – Book 2: A First Look at Agency. Advice, and knowing when to listen to it. Advice that’s helpful to the person offering it, rather than who’s being advised. Incentives and metrics under judgement. 26:50 – Judging actions by their intentions, rather than their effects. Nazism vs Communism. Diets, cholesterol, weight, and its effects on health as single elements of a complex system. 35:36 – Avoiding doctors when you have low-risks health issues. Prayer and religion developing related to health, and the high risk of medical procedures. The Placebo Effect. 39:20 – Book 3: That Great Asymmetry. Ant and ant colony metaphor. Predicting a complex system’s behavior through the behavior of singular elements. A small vocal minority affecting the behavior of large groups. The minority effect on holiday greetings and restaurant choices. 45:56 – Gun regulation, and changes in policy meant for advertising. Virtue signaling and what you do out of your beliefs, versus what’s done for public recognition. Standing up for your opinions even if, or specially if, it has social consequences. 50:57 – The free market, bottom-up or top-down models. Changing the parameters of individuals will not change the parameters of the emerging system. 52:57 – Book 4: Wolves Among Dogs. The trade off between security and freedom. Working as a dog, comfortably but restrained, versus working as a wolf, with much more freedom, but less safety. Tactics big companies use domesticating their employees. English manners as a way to domesticate lower classes. 00:59:39 – Suicide bombers and Mutual Assured Destruction. Reasoning and incentives in terrorists perspective, and how to discourage them to commit suicide. Sacrificing oneself and sacrificing the whole nation. 01:02:26 – Freedom and social media. Voluntarily adopting habits of the lower class as a signal of freedom. Nassim Taleb and Twitter. 01:05:53 – Book 5: Being Alive Means Taking Certain Risks. Politicians and relatability. Feeling like a politician is a real person, or simply a scripted facade. The case for Trump and his relatability. 01:08:36 – Resentment against people at the top who don’t have skin in the game, who are not really risking anything. Economic equality and what it truly means. Unfair barriers put up to keep people in the 1% when they might not really be earning their spot anymore. Florence example, where a handful of families has kept the power for more than 5 centuries. 01:14:38 – Peer approval, the minority effect, and real freedom. 01:17:06 – Book 6: Being Alive Means Taking Certain Risks. Between two people who are equally qualified, the person who looks less “the part” is a wiser choice, as they have had to overcome more challenges to get to where they are. Quarterbacks vs common sense. Elitism and food: steaks, fast-food, and wine. Big mansions and living away from everything. 01:27:38 – Virtue signaling. Protesting or complaining without putting action behind your beliefs. Charity that’s mostly for show and its negative consequences. 01:35:12 – History and violent events: decreasing in frequency, but increasing rapidly in intensity. War, urban violence, and the magnitude of violence. Life that isn’t covered in history outside of big, dramatic events. 01:41:26 – Book 7: Deeper Into Agency. Religion, Beliefs, and Skin in the Game. Sam Harris, Nassim Taleb, and Jordan Peterson. Religion, science, and scientism. 01:49:22 – Sam Harris’ podcast and its infamous guests. 01:50:38 – Book 8: Risk and Rationality. The last section of the book, and concepts in it that are being explored in-depth by Taleb for the first time. “Skin in the Game” as an entry point for Taleb’s work. 01:52:26 – You don’t necessarily need to know what is the reason for something, even if you know that there is a reason. 01:54:31 – Ergodicity and non-ergodicity, or assembled probability vs individual probability. Paranoia and risk reversion. Risk taking and relative risk rather than objective risk. Bathtubs’ and bullets’ potential to scale to kill people. Terrorism, gun violence and non-multiplicative risks. 02:01:35 – Ties back to Taleb’s previous work. Static and dynamics probabilities and life expectancy. 02:05:37 – Wrapping up and sponsor time!

“Time after time I’ve done an analysis of a company, and I’ve figured out a leverage point — in inventory policy, maybe, or in the relationship between salesforce and productive force, or in personnel policy. Then I’ve gone to the company and discovered that there’s already a lot of attention to that point. Everyone is trying very hard to push it in the wrong direction!” In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and I discuss Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System by Donella Meadows. In this article, Meadows goes through her twelve “leverage points” in which you can affect change in your company or any complex system, from least to most effective. “Magical leverage points are not easily accessible, even if we know where they are and which direction to push on them. There are no cheap tickets to mastery. You have to work hard at it, whether that means rigorously analyzing a system or rigorously casting off your own paradigms and throwing yourself into the humility of Not Knowing. In the end, it seems that mastery has less to do with pushing leverage points than it does with strategically, profoundly, madly letting go.” We cover a wide range of topics, including: All of Meadow’s 12 Leverage Points Positive and negative feedback loops The NRA and gun control How individuals can change the system in small and big ways Brexit and the Eurozone The paradigms that shape our thinking And much more.

Her focus is on companies, but it really could be applied to any system. Even the podcast itself! 3:17 — How people try to change complex systems by focusing on the wrong parts, or intervening in the right parts, but in the wrong ways. Meadows’ list of ways in which you can intervene from least to most effective. 6:53 — Each intervention point makes sense in connection to the others. Looking at them in simpler system helps understand their role in complex systems. The bathtub analogy. 10:30 — The 12th point: Constants, parameters, numbers. A person occupying a role doesn’t have as much leverage as the role itself. It’s easier to change small parameters than it is to change a broader picture. Eg.: changing the soda you drink instead of changing your whole diet. The Bike-Shed effect. 16:00 — The 11th point: The sizes of buffers and other stabilizing stocks, relative to their flows. The check account metaphor; the amount of money that’s usually left in your account, doesn’t come in or out. That’s your buffer, and can be changed. The size of your buffer can really affect your system. It can increase your security, but also liability. Tradeoff between creativity and redundancy. 20:41 — The 10th point: The structure of material stocks and flows (such as transport networks, population age structures). This rule is harder to immediately apply to the business case. The pipes metaphor; it’s sometimes necessary to set up a system entirely from scratch, or rebuild it, because it’s almost impossible to reach your goals with what’s already present. The rule of 3 and 10. 24:05 — The 9th point: The lengths of delays, relative to the rate of system change. The importance of consumer feedback. Systems with long loops of feedback, such as politics, have trouble self-regulating. At the same time, when there’s lots of immediate feedback, you risk overshooting. 35:08 — The 8th point: The strength of negative feedback loops (...). A negative feedback loop means a system that can turn itself off, such as a thermostat, which’ll stop working once the room reaches the desired temperature. It’s important to have a failsafe that’ll intervene on the event of a worst-case scenario, even if it’s rarely necessary. You can very easily miss the long-term effect of actions that don’t affect the short-term, such like monocultures (the or overworking yourself. 41:00 — Fake news. Ways you could keep fake news from spreading, and how that could slide into censorship. Social media and censorship. The ultimate goal of any company is always to make money. 48:21 — The 7th point: The gain around driving positive feedback loops. Positive feedback loops feed and grow on themselves (the more people have the flu, the faster it’ll spread), but a system with an unchecked positive feedback loop will destroy itself. At some point, a negative feedback loop must kick in, such as what’s happened with the birth rate in western countries. 51:07 — Poverty and wealth as functions of positive and negative feedback loops. Ways you could effectively lessen poverty. Taxing laws and lobbying. 56:00 — Tangent about payment methods. 58:00 — Adjusting positive feedback loops depends on the ultimate goal of the system. How to use commissions as incentives. 01:01:29 — The 6th point: The structure of information flows (who does and does not have access to information). Access to information, and how it affects people’s and company’s behaviors, and creates accountability. 01:05:01 — Accountability in the age of the internet. The NRA and gun control. The NRA as a symptom of America’s pro-gun mentality, not the source of the issue. 01:10:28 — Arguments for both sides of the gun control debate. Initiatives to lessen the instant fame acquired by mass shooters. Comparing different country’s policies without thought to the countries’ different situations. 01:17:12 — Misinformation on the topic of guns in the public and in media: what guns are actually available to the public, which models were used in mass shootings. 01:21:00 — Clickbait. McDonalds’ fries and baldness. 01:22:43 — The 5th point: The rules of the system. The rules of a system are more influential than the people who must play by the rules. Being both an employee and a boss. Benefits and health plans for employees, and how to attract and retain talent. 01:29:18 — The rules of a system can work as incentives and disincentives. 01:30:19 — The 4th point: The power to add, change, evolve, or self-organize system structure. The level to which people can change the system. Utilizing platforms in ways the creators had not originally intended. Unexpected behaviors from children and puppies. 01:33:33 — Religion and superstition. Bottom-up and top-down systems of power. 01:35:15 — Uber, AirBnB, free market and diversity in the market. 01:37:23 — The 3rd point: The goals of the system. The highest level related to the system itself: its ultimate goal. The goal of keeping the market competitive must trump the goal of each company to accumulate profit. Companies that have little to no competition at this point. 01:41:51 — Changing one player in the system doesn’t affect much, except when one individual player can drastically change the goals of the system. Trump, the Conservative Party and Russia. 01:44:20 — Brexit, the UK’s economy, and the Eurozone. City-states and how do you decide the borders of a country. 01:48:36 — The 2nd point: The mindset or paradigm out of which the system — its goals, structure, rules, delays, parameters — arises. The mindset from which the system’s goals come from. Shared mythology and cultural paradigms in today’s society. Digital goods vs physical goods. Shared paradigms as a basis for cooperation and shared goals. 01:58:41 — The 1st point: The power to transcend paradigms. Ever-changing paradigms; your paradigms, as well as scientific paradigms, will keep changing. Not one holds all the truth. 02:05:30 — Wrap-up and sponsor time!.

Power Quotes From Tom "Once you realize that you can do anything that you set your mind to, how you spend your time becomes a spiritual consideration." - Tom Bilyeu "Wellness is really a 360 degree endeavor. It's not just the body, it's the mind as well." - Tom Bilyeu on wellness "By letting an idea capture your attention, really focusing on it, going deep, and asking how is this usable and then putting it to use in your life and taking those steps to act on the things that you learn; you get a sense of this self reinforcing cycle." - Tom Bilyeu on how we can get excited about an idea. "Stop worrying about being a champion and start worrying about becoming capable of the championship performance. Because that's totally different. That's about grinding it out and earning skills through hard work, actually becoming good, and becoming capable of the extraordinary." - Tom Bilyeu on how acquiring a skill set can make us unstoppable "The big breakthrough in my life was the day I stopped thinking of myself as smart because I wasn't and I started thinking of myself as a learner." - Tom Bilyeu on how he defeated negative thinking and stopped comparing himself to other people.

En esta última parte trataremos los contenidos referidos al equilibrio microeconómico, a la prospectiva y la exploración del futuro y al plan de reformas económicas e institucionales como alternativa. Equilibrio microeconómico Equilibrio microeconómico y las asimetrías de información. Controles variables resultado: precios, intereses, ocupación y tasa de cambio. La información asimétrica en la formulación de política económica surge cuando permite que alguna de las partes que intervienen en una transacción o relación contractual, maneje un tipo de información que la otra parte no dispone, dando origen a la aparición de comportamientos oportunistas en relación con: Primero, la toma de decisiones económicas, en la formación de precios de los bienes y servicios; Segundo, el conflicto entre quien administra la norma y quienes son sus sujetos de control. El interés en materia de regulaciones derivadas de la información asimétrica se debe a la preocupación sobre el cómo la política económica da lugar al abuso interesado del poder discrecional. Esta discrecionalidad es la que se encuentra en el origen de: Primero, los males públicos como la aparición de mercados negros; Segundo, la extracción de rentas oportunistas; Tercero, la corrupción. Cuando una política económica no anticipa esas posibilidades, surgen conflictos entre quienes compran y venden bienes y servicios, entre los funcionarios que administran y toda la cadena burocrática que asegura la puesta en práctica de la norma, el resultado más visible de estas ineficiencias se manifiestan en precios más altos, escasez, desviación de recursos productivos hacia actividades que destruyen valor. Los conflictos surgen fundamentalmente como consecuencia de la asimetría informativa que se produce entre los individuos cercanos al poder por filiación política o económica y el común de los ciudadanos excluidos por la aplicación rigurosa y sesgada de la norma. Los que poseen filiación política cercana con el gobierno, debido a su proximidad ideológica con los ejecutores de la política, están mejor informados y tienen un canal de acceso más directo con los funcionarios. Esto les sitúa en una posición ventajosa respecto al resto que no tiene relación interesada con funcionarios en cargos de responsabilidad en la administración pública, de los cuales no reciben información en tiempo real y a través de los cuales resultan injustamente excluidos. Las asimetrías de información originadas por un cambio preferencial para líneas de productos considerados esenciales. PREI7 Asimetrías por ausencia de evaluación previa de impacto. El tratamiento de los problemas de información asimétrica mediante el análisis previo de impacto regulatorio pretende eliminar los efectos de ésta sobre el mercado mediante distintas medidas paliativas como son las siguientes: Primero, el establecimiento de mecanismos de vigilancia y control a través de la actuación transversal de los poderes públicos con independencia, autonomía y legitimidad, que eviten conflictos de interés y abuso del poder discrecional por parte de los administradores de la norma. Segundo, la simplificación y la optimización de la norma a través de sistemas de incentivos adecuados diseñados en función del comportamiento anticipado de los agentes económicos, en concordancia con el análisis costo / beneficio de la administración de la norma. Tercero, el aseguramiento en la provisión de información perfecta sobre los mercados objetivo sin exclusión de ninguna naturaleza. En el caso que hemos tomado como referencia, las posibilidades de evitar los incentivos perversos derivados de controles diferenciales del tipo de cambio, son imposibles de alcanzar, pues la única forma de cumplir con la condición de información perfecta o casi perfecta y de eliminación del poder discrecional que otorga la norma a los funcionarios, es la sustitución del control de cambios diferenciales por un sistema de un cambio único. Asimetrías de información por inexistencia e insuficiencia de información oficial. Los problemas de información asimétrica en nuestro país son frecuentemente obviados en el diagnóstico de la profunda crisis institucional que vive el país, como también está ausente la evaluación de impacto de las extensas y variadas formas de regulaciones de la vida económica y social en el país. Se hace necesario el conocimiento de las secuencias e interrelaciones que surgen con motivo de esas debilidades institucionales. Se requiere eliminar los efectos de esas perversiones sobre los mercados de bienes, servicios y de otras variables resultados mediante distintas medidas paliativas, que van desde el establecimiento de mecanismos no discrecionales de vigilancia y control hasta el diseño de sistemas de incentivos adecuados para garantizar una condición de información transparente, libre de la posibilidad de comportamientos oportunistas por parte de individualidades o grupos de interés. Uno de los males públicos producto de la política económica en Venezuela es la ausencia de información oficial no sesgada y oportuna que propagan y multiplican otro de los males de los controles de las variables resultado: los mercados negros. PREI8 Asimetría por información oficial insuficiente o inexistente A los efectos directos de las asimetrías de información que dan lugar a sobreprecios en toda la cadena de valor de producción de bienes y servicios hay que añadir la esterilización de fondos que pudieron ser aplicados en la producción de bienes y servicios, los cuales se diluyen en los costos de transacción originados por la multitud de procesos y oficios que destruyen valor como lo son las cadenas informales que operan bajo el manto protector de los mercados negros. ¿Por qué los ajustes sin Reforma Económica e Institucional son insuficientes? Siempre se nos dice a los economistas que criticamos y no proponemos, adelantándonos al planteamiento reflexionaremos, para finalizar, manifestando que existen opciones, entre ellas opinaremos sobre la que consideramos más seria desde el punto de vista económico y mostraremos nuestra propia percepción. Este análisis está formulado en términos de viabilidad política, pues coincidimos con la idea de realizar reformas económicas y sobre la necesidad de reformas institucionales previas PREI9 "Estanflación" bajo ajustes sin reformas económicas e institucionales Creemos que el momento no admite el tipo de ajustes parciales de naturaleza macroeconómica que se acompaña de un epistolario de buenas intenciones de acuerdos entre el Gobierno y gente que no representa a la mayoría de los venezolanos. De esa manera abonamos el camino de una mayor pobreza. En una crisis de múltiples connotaciones, no únicamente económica, sino también, moral, ética y política, además con una necesidad, que no admite retraso, de crecimiento económico, de acumulación de capital, no se puede pensar en otra alternativa que recurrir al ahorro externo, en forma de inversiones extranjeras y abaratando el crédito internacional. Ahora, no olvidemos que el capital necesita confianza y que fluye hacia donde existe seguridad, estado de derecho, éstos solo se restituyen y mejoran: Primero, cuando existen instituciones públicas autónomas, independientes y bien sustentadas democráticamente. Segundo, cuando la política económica no da lugar a asimetrías de información, a incentivos perversos o abuso de poder discrecional. De allí la importancia de la evaluación previa de impacto regulatorio para evitar los males públicos como corrupción y desviación de bienestar hacia individualidades o grupos, cuyos intereses no son los del país. Definitivamente, reiteramos los funcionarios públicos, comenzando por el Presidente, tienen que ser servidores públicos, con el mínimo poder necesario para ejercer sus funciones, sin menosprecio al servicio de ornato, cuido y mantenimiento de los edificios. Los gerentes públicos son una suerte de conserjes que administran transitoriamente los recursos de la Nación y no son los dueños de una hacienda, son simplemente administradores temporales de la Hacienda Pública, no propietarios de un fundo llamado Venezuela. La prospectiva y laexploración del futuro. Esquema de análisis: Entre la antifragilidad y el caos socioeconómico de Venezuela Propósito Formularemos un diagrama de los factores clave en la explicación de las opciones de futuro para Venezuela, en forma de secuencias sencillas de cadenas de eventos entre dos escenarios, uno llamado “La antifragilidad” [1] conducente a un sistema autoregulador de sus equilibrios económicos, políticos y sociales, que representa un estado futuro deseable y posible. Otro denominado “El caos económico” que representa el estado actual de circunstancias. La “antifragilidad” es un concepto para definir un sistema que mejora ante las situaciones que podrían destruirlo y que posee la propiedad de autoregulación que le permite asegurar los equilibrios económicos, políticos y sociales, en sistemas dinámicos e inestables. Es la vía para un país que necesita innovar de manera continua e intensa, en un contexto donde la escasez será el signo de lo que viene. La renta petrolera es y será insuficiente para una transición económica, se requiere una cultura frugal, es la denominada “innovación frugal” [2]. Sobre el tema se puede consultar “Aspectos críticos cualitativos sobre las perspectivas 2015-16 de Venezuela” [3]. El “caos económico” es el contexto de desenvolvimiento actual de Venezuela, bajo una utopía de ingeniería social de control de las variables resultado: precios, tasa de interés, tipo de cambio, tasa de desocupación y crecimiento por la vía de las regulaciones extremas de la planificación central. La pretensión de control en Venezuela ha supuesto la pérdida de la autonomía, independencia y legitimidad de los poderes públicos. También la proliferación de regulaciones con incentivos perversos y asimetrías de información que han destruido la eficiencia de los mercados en Venezuela, en favor de extractores de renta que disfrutan de las ventajas de poseer privilegios derivados del poder discrecional y de información privilegiada. Vivimos en zozobra institucional con una pérdida de confianza extrema, solo al final de cualquier actividad es que aparece la certeza sobre la actuación del régimen. Está ausente esa coloquial “palabra de honor” que sellaba sin testigos, ni papel que habría de ser de fiel cumplimiento. Ojalá se pueda bajar a la economía del “economicismo”. El esquema PREI10 Escenario "antifragilidad" PREI11 Escenario "Caos económico" “Plan de Reformas Económicas e Institucionales” versus “Decreto de Emergencia Económica” La propuesta de un “Plan de Reformas Económicas e Institucionales” como alternativa al “Decreto de Emergencia Económica”. La agenda de la oposición en la Asamblea Nacional tiene que escapar al dilema de la llamada “emergencia económica”, hay que divulgar los temas cruciales y hacer una propuesta integral, un “Plan de Reformas Económicas e Institucionales”. No se debe confundir medidas, con ajuste y menos con reformas, en este momento, ni medidas aisladas, ni ajustes macroeconómicos resuelven nada por si mismos, sin reformas de orden institucional y sin consideraciones conjeturales microeconómicas no es posible superar la crisis. Hay que tener un nuevo relato libre de falacias y manipulaciones, una estrategia que deje en evidencia cualquier intento propagandístico distorsionado de la realidad. Es conveniente formular una estrategia comunicacional de información sobre la gravedad de la crisis del país y la necesidad de apoyo internacional para generar un clima de confianza que permita la captación de fondos externos ante la insuficiencia estructural de generación de ahorros de Venezuela. No se puede continuar en los medios y en las redes sociales banalizando la realidad con “comicidades” o con análisis de la realidad como si los problemas se resuelven con gritos, excentricidades o con hipotéticas luchas épicas y contrapunteos folclóricos. Es imperioso el logro de un amplio consenso nacional alrededor de un “Plan de Reformas Económicas e Institucionales” como alternativa a un simple “Decreto de Emergencia Económica”. Se agota el tiempo para someter la inminencia de una crisis hospitalaria y alimentaria. El plan comprendería los siguientes aspectos críticos socioeconómicos del país. Propuesta microeconómica. La revisión y simplificación del marco regulatorio en función del impacto anticipado sobre el mercado: un proceso profundo de reformas institucionales y económicas que liberen a la economía venezolana de la asfixia regulatoria y de sus incentivos perversos. Es la manera de asegurar políticas económicas que reduzcan cualquier posibilidad de aprovechamiento de las mismas por parte de los administradores y de cualquier grupo de interés, es decir estar libres de incentivos perversos, sin que existan asimetrías de información que afecten la eficiencia del mercado. Sus propósitos son: Eliminar los incentivos a la apropiación de rentas por la vía de mercados negros; Sincerar los precios de los mercados controlados y estímulo a la competencia; Crear incentivos no perversos a la producción nacional. La creación de poder integrador a través de incentivos para la formación del capital social, sus propósitos son: Incrementar los mecanismos de rendición de cuentas de las instituciones públicas; Proveer espacios para una interacción eficaz entre lo público y lo privado para el diseño, implementación y seguimiento de la producción de los bienes y servicios públicos; Invertir en la ciudadanía a través de la educación; Crear una cultura de la información; Invertir en la capacidad organizacional de los pobres, especialmente en aspectos vinculantes y participativos; Desarrollar prácticas de mercado que favorezcan a los pobres. PREI12 Equilibrio microeconómico Propuesta institucional. El logro de la legitimidad, autonomía e independencia de los poderes públicos: hay que activar mecanismos de renovación de los otros poderes públicos. Es imperioso liberar la economía de mercado de modo que se reduzca la dependencia de cualquier forma de extracción de renta del petróleo o del narcotráfico, su propósito es: Reducción drástica de los incentivos favorables a la corrupción. El aseguramiento de la autonomía, la independencia y legitimación de las instituciones económicas como el Banco Central de Venezuela, el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, de manera que se puedan restablecer los equilibrios macroeconómicos a nivel fiscal, monetario y de pagos internacionales, su propósito es: Restablecimiento de la confianza necesaria para la captación de ahorro nacional e internacional y así sostener la acumulación de capital y el crecimiento económico. PREI13 Equilibrio institucional Propuesta macroeconómica. El restablecimiento de los equilibrios macroeconómicos, de manera de estabilizar la economía venezolana, creando mecanismos auto reguladores que permitan la estabilidad de precios, de la tasa de cambio, del empleo y el crecimiento, la transición hacia los mecanismos auto reguladores son: Unificación de la tasa de cambio del mercado regulado con un valor cercano al deterioro del Índice Nacional de Precios, ajustado por el Índice de Precios Ponderado de los países con quienes se tiene el mayor valor de comercio internacional, tomando como base el año mas reciente durante el cual el tipo de cambio fue libre. Y otro fluctuante con intervención indirecta del Banco Central de Venezuela. Legitimación de un mercado de divisas con observación e intervención indirecta del Banco Central de Venezuela para asegurar una banda de fluctuación. Objetivo: eliminación del contrabando, de mercados paralelos, reducción de la extracción de rentas Equilibrio fiscal: adopción de reglas anti cíclicas de equilibrio fiscal con reajuste gradual del gasto público hacia la inversión pública y en apoyo al crecimiento económico; Restitución de los derechos de propiedad de empresas sometidas a procedimientos arbitrarios de expropiación. Democratización del capital: establecimiento de un mercado de capitales y de generación de ahorro familiar mediante la adquisición de propiedad accionaria en empresas públicas manufactureras ineficientes. PREI13 Equilibrio institucional PREI14 Equilibrios macroeconómicos. La agenda debe sumar la mayor representatividad posible y someterse a la consideración de las Academias de Ciencias, de los gremios laborales y económicos y de las Universidades Autónomas. Toda vez que exista una agenda consensual se somete a los organismos financieros internacionales para el financiamiento del programa de reformas y transición económica. [1] Antifragilidad es una categoría desarrollada por el profesor Nassim Taleb, en su libro, Antifragilidad: las cosas que se benefician del desorden. Hace referencia a los sistemas que aumentan en capacidad, resistencia o robustez como consecuencia de errores, defectos, ataques, o fracasos. Como Taleb explica en su libro, la antifragilidad es fundamentalmente diferente de los conceptos de resiliencia (es decir, la capacidad de recuperarse de errores) y la robustez (esto es, la capacidad de resistir el fracaso). El concepto se ha aplicado en el análisis de riesgos. Hay cosas que crecen especialmente cuando se exponen al azar, al riesgo y a la volatilidad (como los emprendedores) y en una sociedad donde creemos que al eliminar el riesgo, también eliminamos esa capacidad de respuesta que es en realidad el núcleo de progreso de cualquier época. Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2012). Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder. Random House. ISBN 9781400067824. [2] La innovación frugal es el proceso de reducción de la complejidad y del costo de un bien. Por lo general, esto se refiere a la eliminación de las características no sustanciales de un bien duradero. Es el diseño de productos de mayor durabilidad (eliminación de la obsolescencia programada), donde se utilizan canales de distribución no convencionales, que acercan la demanda y la oferta. http://www.frugal-innovation.com/research-summary/ [3] http://prosprev.com/2015/09/10/aspectos-criticos-cualitativos-sobre-las-perspectivas-2015-16-de-venezuela/
This quick safety moment is a small introduction to Nassim Taleb's book, "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder." I won't review the book, or even try to discuss the book, but I will introduce a word to talk about failure in a different way. Our systems should get stronger when these systems fail. That is an important idea, one that demands discussion and thought.Here is a reference on the book: Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and The Bed of Procrustes.Thanks for being a part of our podcast. Without you this would be mighty lonely.

Bett and Russ review Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder". We previously reviewed Black Swan, and thought, in preparation for a deeper discussion of how Antifragile's concepts can apply to software development and architecture, that we should review this book, also.
