Hear veteran risk manager, advisor and professor Clifford Rossi's viewpoints on trends, threats and opportunities in the commercial and residential real estate markets.  The past couple of years have been an extremely challenging time for risk practitioners charged with measuring and managing real estate risk. In both commercial real estate and residential real estate, concerns have been raised globally about interest rates, inflation and economic uncertainty. Indeed, in a recent Federal Reserve survey on salient risks – part of the Fed's October Financial Stability Report – roughly 75 percent of respondents cited the potential for “large losses on CRE and residential real estate.” CRE, more specifically, has been plagued by escalating vacancy rates for office buildings, thanks in part to the remote work trend that started during the pandemic and has since taken off. Residential real estate, meanwhile, has dealt with worries about housing affordability. As a former CRO at multiple banks and as an ex-senior risk manager at Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac, Cliff Rossi, our honored guest today, knows all about the CRE and residential real estate risks facing financial institutions today. Cliff, the current Director of the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium at the University of Maryland (UMD), speaks with GARP editorial director Robert Sales about global real estate concerns and challenges, and offers advice on how firms can more effectively manage their exposures.   SPEAKER'S BIO: Clifford Rossi (PhD) is the Director of the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium at the University of Maryland (UMD) and a Professor-of-the-Practice and Executive-in-Residence at UMD's Robert H. Smith School of Business. He is also the author of GARP's monthly “CRO Outlook” column. Prior to entering academia, Rossi had nearly 25 years of experience in banking and government, having held senior executive roles in risk management at several of the largest financial services companies. His most recent position was Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer for Citigroup's Consumer Lending Group, where he was responsible for overseeing the risk of a $300+B global portfolio of mortgage, home equity, student loans and auto loans with 700 employees under his direction. While there he was intimately involved in Citi's TARP and stress test activities. He also served as Chief Credit Officer at Washington Mutual (WaMu) and as Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer at Countrywide Bank. Previous to these assignments, Rossi held senior risk management positions at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He started his career during the thrift crisis at the U.S. Treasury's Office of Domestic Finance and later at the Office of Thrift Supervision working on key policy issues affecting depositories. Rossi was also an adjunct professor in the Finance Department at the Robert H. Smith School of Business for eight years and has numerous academic and nonacademic articles on banking industry topics. Rossi is frequently quoted on financial policy issues in major newspapers and has appeared on such programs as C-SPAN's Washington Journal and CNN's Situation Room. His book for risk practitioners and graduate students, A Risk Professional's Survival Guide, was published in 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Kathryn interviews Simon N. Whitney MD JD. Faced with horrors such as the notorious Tuskegee syphilis study, another experiment that injected patients with live cancer cells, and a third that infected institutionalized children with hepatitis, one might expect only praise for a regulatory system intended to promote safe and ethical medical research. Simon N. Whitney is part of a chorus of critics who argue that this regulatory regime needlessly burdens researchers and stifles the advance of life-saving medical treatments. He sees regulation as an essential part of modern life, but maintains that regulations need to reflect real world research if they are to serve their mission. He presents vivid case studies of how vital breakthroughs for treating heart disease, premature births and kidney stones have been inexcusably delayed forcing doctors and patients to settle for less effective treatments.He is a graduate of NYU Medical School, Stanford Law School and was previously on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine.Kathryn also interviews Peter Grinspoon MD.One in seven Americans uses some sort of CBD product. 94 percent of Americans support legalization of medical marijuana and 69 percent want total legalization. Whether it's the hard-dying, fear-mongering lies spun by the War on Drugs and other prohibition campaigns or the utopian daydreams of long-time stoners and evangelists, we're still confused about the leaf that we have been using for at least five-thousand years. Peter Grinspoon, physician and cannabis expert draws from a wealth of scientific research, clinical practice, and personal experience to demystify marijuana. He is a primary care physician and cannabis specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Hear veteran risk manager, advisor and professor Clifford Rossi's perspective on recent turmoil in the banking system, on where risk management fell short, and the profession's readiness for future challenges. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and subsequent events inevitably invited comparisons with past crises. It was widely assumed that the damages of 2023 would be more contained than those of the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. But they could similarly leave a long tail, with economic and regulatory repercussions well into the future. A clear parallel between 2008 and 2023 is the spotlight placed on risk management. In the intervening years, the risk function in banking and financial services grew in prestige and responsibility – and its failings were documented as having played a role in SVB's demise. Drawing from regulatory experience early in his career, to senior risk and credit positions at major financial institutions, to his current professorship at the University of Maryland, Cliff Rossi has lived through multiple crises while observing the effectiveness and evolution of risk management. GARP Risk Intelligence's CRO Outlook columnist, Rossi has been especially critical of boards of directors' risk governance, one of many timely subjects covered in his podcast conversation with GARP contributing editor Jeff Kutler. SPEAKER'S BIO Clifford Rossi (PhD) is an Executive-in-Residence and Professor of the Practice at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland.

Link from the show:* The Culture Transplant: How Migrants Make the Economies They Move To a Lot Like the Ones They Left* Connect with GarrettBook blurb:A provocative new analysis of immigration's long-term effects on a nation's economy and culture.Over the last two decades, as economists began using big datasets and modern computing power to reveal the sources of national prosperity, their statistical results kept pointing toward the power of culture to drive the wealth of nations. In The Culture Transplant, Garett Jones documents the cultural foundations of cross-country income differences, showing that immigrants import cultural attitudes from their homelands―toward saving, toward trust, and toward the role of government―that persist for decades, and likely for centuries, in their new national homes. Full assimilation in a generation or two, Jones reports, is a myth. And the cultural traits migrants bring to their new homes have enduring effects upon a nation's economic potential.Built upon mainstream, well-reviewed academic research that hasn't pierced the public consciousness, this book offers a compelling refutation of an unspoken consensus that a nation's economic and political institutions won't be changed by immigration. Jones refutes the common view that we can discuss migration policy without considering whether migration can, over a few generations, substantially transform the economic and political institutions of a nation. And since most of the world's technological innovations come from just a handful of nations, Jones concludes, the entire world has a stake in whether migration policy will help or hurt the quality of government and thus the quality of scientific breakthroughs in those rare innovation powerhouses.About my guest:After earning a BA in history from Brigham Young (with a sociology minor), an MPA from Cornell, and an MA in political science from UC Berkeley, I earned my Ph.D. at UC San Diego in 2000. My dissertation was on how the Federal Reserve can control short-run interest rates, and used accidental increases and decreases in bank reserves to estimate the economic effects of what we would now call quantitative easing. I enjoy backpacking in the High Sierra, getting lost in Venice, and looking for the best food in Chengdu. In the past, I've worked in the U.S. Senate, and my research areas include behavioral economics, monetary economics, corporate finance, and economic growth.

Kelley Vlahos joins Tim to talk about how big tech companies are starting to use your data to grade you in ways that may surprise and shock you. The focus of our discussion is your Social Credit Score and how China may be illustrating just how alarming its applications can be. Kelley is a senior advisor at the Quincy Institute and editorial director at Responsible Statecraft. She's written about this population monitoring tool that before now was unthinkable in America. That's the focus of this episode, which was originally released on May 3, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Social_Credit_Score.mp3 Anyone who buys a car or a house or wants a new credit card is familiar with the financial credit process. You have to build up a track record of paying off your debts in order to obtain good financial credit. Financial credit enables you to borrow money. A bad financial credit rating can be used by banks and lenders to deny you a loan, which means you can't buy that house, that car, or get that credit card. Until now, that was the only credit rating you needed to worry about. But in subtle ways, another credit rating may be creeping into your daily life you may not be so aware of. It's called a Social Credit Score. It's essentially a profile that rates people for better or worse based on everything they do. Every place they go, every rideshare they take, every destination they travel to, every book they buy, every membership, every donation, everything they post online, and, of course, their Internet search history. Here are a couple simple examples. Every time you take an Uber rideshare, your driver rates you according to a star system. If the driver likes you, you get more stars. If the driver doesn't like you, you get fewer stars. What you have to do to be liked is up to the driver, not you. On social media, you learn what information you're allowed to share and that information – even if it's legal and non-offensive – that will get you suspended or banned.

In this episode of KEEN ON, Andrew talks to the author of RAIL SPLITTER, John Cribb, on distinguishing between fact and fiction in Abraham Lincoln's unbelievable life and what all Americans can learn from the great man today JOHN CRIBB is a bestselling author who has written about subjects ranging from history to education. His novel Old Abe has been hailed for its vivid portrayal of Abraham Lincoln.. John's previous work includes coauthoring The American Patriot's Almanac and The Educated Child, both New York Times bestsellers; co-editing The Human Odyssey, a 3-volume world history text; and developing on-line history courses. John also worked as former US Secretary of Education Bill Bennett's collaborator on the New York Times #1 bestseller The Book of Virtues. He has appeared on numerous TV, radio, and podcast shows such as C-SPAN's Washington Journal and Fox News's Fox & Friends, and his writing has been published in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, FoxNews.com, The Hill, Real Clear Politics, and several other publications. During the Reagan administration, he worked at the Department of Justice, the Department of Education, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Abraham Lincoln has been John's hero from history since boyhood, when he read about Abe growing up on the frontier in the old Childhood of Famous Americans biography series. Thanks to a wise teacher, he had to memorize the Gettysburg Address in elementary school, and those famous words sank in. John's bookshelves are now full of Lincoln books. His love of history, Lincoln, and a good story led to The Rail Splitter and Old Abe. John worked on both novels on and off for a dozen years, which means it took three times as long to write the darned things than it did for Lincoln to win the Civil War. John lives in his hometown of Spartanburg, South Carolina, a state rich in both Civil War and Revolutionary War history. He serves on the board of trustees of the Spartanburg County Public Libraries and the board of directors of the Spartanburg Philharmonic. He is a former member of the board of directors of the Hub City Writers Project, which operates an award-winning independent bookstore and a highly regarded literary press.

Jon Clifton: Blind Spot Jon Clifton is the CEO of Gallup. His mission is to help 7 billion citizens be heard on their most pressing work and life issues through the Gallup World Poll, a 100-year initiative spanning over 150 countries. He is a nonresident senior fellow at Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion and serves on the boards of directors for Gallup and Young Professionals in Foreign Policy. Jon has been interviewed on BBC News, Axios, C-SPAN's “Washington Journal,” and Al-Jazeera, and he has testified in front of the U.S. Congress on the state of American small business and entrepreneurship. He is a frequent contributor on Gallup.com and has written for The Hill, The Diplomatic Courier, and The Global Action Report. He is the author of Blind Spot: The Global Rise of Unhappiness and How Leaders Missed It. In this conversation, Jon and I discuss why many objective numbers like GDP appear positive and yet don't correlate to wellbeing and happiness. We examine how to think about more subjective measures and ways for leaders and organization to gain insight. Plus, we dialogue about what managers can do to help make genuine connections in the workplace. Key Points While objective trends worldwide such as GDP and the Human Development Index have been positive for decades, people are angrier, sadder, and more worried than ever. There's a key distinction between how someone sees their life and how someone lives their life. Money does not buy happiness, but it is hard to be happy without it. Frequent conversations, listening, and framing work around strengths are key actions managers can take to address unhappiness with employees. Examples of questions/survey topics to ask of customers to gain insight into emotional attachment: Company always delivers on what they promise. I feel proud to be a Company customer. Company is the perfect company for people like me. Examples of questions/survey topics to ask of suppliers to to gain insight into emotional attachment: Company always treats me with respect. Company is easy to do business with. Company always does what they say they will do.

Kelley Vlahos joins Tim to talk about how big tech companies are starting to use your data to grade you in ways that may surprise and shock you. The focus of our discussion is your Social Credit Score and how China may be illustrating just how alarming its applications can be. Kelley is a senior advisor at the Quincy Institute and editorial director at Responsible Statecraft. She's written about this population monitoring tool that before now was unthinkable in America. That's the focus of this episode. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Social_Credit_Score_auphonic.mp3 Anyone who buys a car or a house or wants a new credit card is familiar with the financial credit process. You have to build up a track record of paying off your debts in order to obtain good financial credit. Financial credit enables you to borrow money. A bad financial credit rating can be used by banks and lenders to deny you a loan, which means you can't buy that house, that car, or get that credit card. Until now, that was the only credit rating you needed to worry about. But in subtle ways, another credit rating may be creeping into your daily life you may not be so aware of. It's called a Social Credit Score. It's essentially a profile that rates people for better or worse based on everything they do. Every place they go, every rideshare they take, every destination they travel to, every book they buy, every membership, every donation, everything they post online, and, of course, their Internet search history. Here are a couple simple examples. Every time you take an Uber rideshare, your driver rates you according to a star system. If the driver likes you, you get more stars. If the driver doesn't like you, you get fewer stars. What you have to do to be liked is up to the driver, not you. On social media, you learn what information you're allowed to share and that information – even if it's legal and non-offensive - that will get you suspended or banned.
