Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl Icahn

A Note from James:Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn't. He's the real thing—and he just kept going.I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game. Also: I had to ask why Dell didn't invent Google. That, plus how he's now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private. In this candid conversation, Dell shares how early obsession with tech and business turned into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, the lessons he's learned about leadership, and how he's positioning for the future with AI, cybersecurity, and gene tech on the horizon.This is more than a business story. It's about risk, conviction, reinvention—and knowing when to walk away from Steve Jobs.What You'll Learn:How Dell's dorm-room business scaled to $80,000/month before he even left collegeWhat Michael Dell really thought during his showdown with Carl IcahnWhy most big companies fail to innovate—and how to keep a startup mindsetHow Dell Technologies is preparing for the explosion in AI and edge computingWhat makes a good leader at the head of a $100 billion companyTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] James introduces Michael Dell and the origin story of Dell Computers[01:00] The economics of building PCs in the early 1980s[03:00] Winning state bids with a bike and a dorm room[05:00] Pressure to become a doctor—and the 10-day “intervention”[10:00] Meeting Steve Jobs and licensing DOS from Bill Gates[13:00] Dell's early B2B focus and international expansion[15:00] Going public and the Icahn showdown[18:00] How activist investors play poker with billion-dollar stakes[21:00] What focus really means in business[24:00] Defining leadership at global scale[26:00] Encouraging innovation inside massive companies[28:00] The failed Mac OS licensing deal[30:00] Philanthropy, education, and urban poverty[33:00] COVID lockdowns and a $100M response[35:00] The future of work and city migration[39:00] AI, edge computing, and exponential data[42:00] Gene editing, mRNA vaccines, and solving cancer[45:00] Blockchain in enterprise (no bitcoin on Dell's balance sheet—yet)[47:00] Why cybersecurity is an arms raceAdditional Resources:Play Nice But Win – Michael Dell's memoir (Amazon)Dell Technologies – Official websiteJudge rejects Icahn's move on Dell buyout – CT InsiderRichard Florida on the future of cities – Vital City NYC interviewWhat is CRISPR? – Broad InstituteHistory of MS‑DOS – WikipediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michael Milken is known as the King of Junk Bonds. In the early 80s, he pioneered a novel way to finance companies that traditional investors normally wouldn't touch. His high-risk, high-reward investing strategy upended decades of Wall Street norms. And it made celebrities out of Michael and the corporate raiders he funded, like T. Boone Pickens, Rupert Murdoch, and Carl Icahn. Michael did make it possible for smaller companies to access capital. But he did it by breaking norms, ethical codes, and financial regulations in order to manipulate the system at every turn. Though, when stock brokers turn into snitches, even his billions can't protect him.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Professor William Lazonick, emeritus Professor of Economics and founding director of the Academic Industry Research Network, is one of the world's foremost experts on Shareholder Value Ideology and its impact on society. In our first conversation, we uncovered the fundamentals of shareholder value ideology and the harmful effects of stock buybacks on the working class and economic inequality. This discussion goes deeper into how financial institutions capitalized on the deregulation of the financial industry in the 1980s, leading to a wave of corporate greed and wealth concentration. Topics include the rise of hedge funds, the devastation caused by corporate raiders, how private equity contributes to the decline in quality of goods and services (termed "encrapification"), and policy strategies to rebuild an economy that prioritizes American workers over Wall Street profits.

Aim for the Uprights   In this episode of the Richer Soul podcast, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Stu Crum, a seasoned leader in the corporate world and former professional athlete. Stu shares his life journey, from playing college football to holding executive positions at Jiffy Lube and Bridgestone. Now, he's an advocate of "Intentional Living," a concept he outlines in his book Aim for the Uprights. Through his stories, Stu highlights how intentionality in faith, family, and business can shape a successful and fulfilling life. Key Takeaways: Intentional Living: Stu emphasizes the importance of being deliberate in every aspect of life. Whether it's managing finances, nurturing family relationships, or leading a business, intentionality is key to long-term success. Hard Work and Financial Literacy: Growing up in a financially literate family, Stu learned the value of hard work and money management early on. He also passed these lessons to his own children, expanding their understanding of investing. Overcoming Challenges: Stu's journey wasn't without obstacles, but his leadership skills and mindset helped him navigate both personal and professional challenges effectively. Money Learning: Stu's parents played a pivotal role in his financial education, making him "money literate" by his teenage years. They instilled in him the value of saving, budgeting, and working hard to earn money. However, Stu shared that while his family taught him to save, they didn't dive deep into investment strategies. This realization led him to ensure that his own children had a more comprehensive financial education, including understanding investments and creating wealth beyond saving. Stu also noted how financial literacy is different today, with technology enabling anyone to invest with ease—something that wasn't as accessible during his early years. Bio: Stu Crum is a former college football star who transitioned from the sports field to the corporate boardroom. Over the years, he held leadership roles at Texaco, Shell Oil, Jiffy Lube, and Bridgestone. Stu worked on big deals with influential figures like Carl Icahn and developed his leadership philosophy from both his personal and professional experiences. His concept of Intentional Living is explored further in his book, Aim for the Uprights: The Intentional Playbook for Success in Faith, Family, and Business. Learn more at stucrum.com. Key Discussion Points: Learning the Value of Money: Stu shared how he grew up in an upper-middle-class family where financial literacy was highly emphasized. His parents were intentional about teaching him the importance of money and working hard to earn it, a mindset that stuck with him throughout his life. Financial Knowledge Gap: Stu revealed that while he was well-prepared in managing money, his parents didn't teach him much about investing. This motivated him to be more intentional with his children, discussing investment strategies early on to ensure they understood how to grow their wealth. From Football to Business: Stu talked about how his football background, especially playing in highly competitive environments, shaped his leadership skills. He carried this competitive drive and discipline into his corporate career, eventually leading some of the biggest companies in their sectors. The Importance of Intentional Living: One of Stu's core messages is that success in any area—whether in family life, business, or personal growth—requires intentionality. He believes in setting clear goals and following through with deliberate actions to achieve them. This has been his guiding philosophy in both his personal and professional life. Navigating Financial Changes: Stu reflected on the significant changes in how people approach finances today. With investment apps and zero-fee trading platforms, it has become easier to invest, unlike the days when stock trades could cost hundreds of dollars. He advised staying intentional with money, whether it's in managing day-to-day expenses or making long-term investments. Conclusion: Stu Crum's journey from college football to corporate leadership is a testament to the power of intentional living. By staying true to his values, working hard, and always learning, he's been able to lead a fulfilling life both personally and professionally. His advice on being intentional with finances, family, and career is both timeless and highly relevant in today's fast-paced world. This episode serves as a reminder to live with purpose, set clear goals, and never stop striving for improvement in all areas of life.   Links: stucrum.com Linkedln-  linkedin.com/in/stucrum Twitter – https://x.com/Stucrum6     Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Deep Value Investing Using The Acquirer's Multiple Revisited w/ Tobias Carlisle AZ TRT S05 EP 39 (255) 10-6-2024     What We Learned This Week Acquirers Multiple – Enterprise value of the business, mindset of buying the entire business Deep Value Investing – good companies at wonderful prices, looking for companies that are beat down, but not going out of business, will rebound, mean reversion Activist Investors – like Carl Icahn, act as catalyst to push mgmt to unlock value – stock buybacks, spin offs, etc. Value Trap – buy a cheap company (stock) that just keeps going down, but still looks cheap     Guest: Tobias Carlisle – Founder of Acquirers Fund and author of Acquirers Multiple book & blog Website: https://acquirersmultiple.com/   /  https://acquirersfunds.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobycarlisle Twitter: https://twitter.com/acquirersx         Investing is broken down with Toby's philosophy on 'Deep Value', the Acquirers Multiple (purchasing the whole company), and value investing from Graham to Buffett. Tobias Carlisle is the founder of The Acquirer's Multiple®. He is also the founder of Acquirers Funds®. He is best known as the author of the #1 new release in Amazon's Business and Finance The Acquirer's Multiple: How the Billionaire Contrarians of Deep Value Beat the Market, the Amazon best-sellers Deep Value: Why Activists Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations (2014), and other books. He has extensive experience in investment management, business valuation, public company corporate governance, and corporate law.     He runs the Acquirers Fund, a Long / Short Fund (ticker symbol – ZIG). Prior to founding the forerunner to Acquirers Funds in 2010, Tobias was an analyst at an activist hedge fund, general counsel of a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, and a corporate advisory lawyer.

He is a graduate of the University of Queensland in Australia with degrees in Law (2001) and Business (Management) (1999).     Notes:   Deep Value – what drives returns in investing, picking stocks is half the battle Concentrated Investing – interviews with fund managers Acquirers Multiple – summary of previous books, giving the best lessons Built Models to back test investing styles and value investing techniques    Warren Buffet is looking for Wonderful Companies at Fair Prices vs a Good Company at a Wonderful price (Deep Value)   Not a great business, but still a good business, that is being priced like it is going out of business. The market will realize this later, as it rebounds and grows slowly over time.   Contrarian's contrarian like Carl Icahn   Value Trap – buy a cheap company (stock) that just keeps going down, but still looks cheap Corporate Raider or LBO (Leverage Buyout) Activist Investor or Shareholder Activism – forces management to make changes and unlock that value Solutions - Buy back stock, sell assets, spin off a division   Value Investor has to be patient, can take years for the market is too realize the value   Lots of cash $ on the balance sheet, low debt, and business is generating free cash flow Cash Flow is the life blood of a business, without it the business runs out of options   Buffet was a Liquidator in his early days, buy the company and liquidate the assets to make a profit, but decided to change his strategy because of pushback from company employees   Acquirers Multiple: think like an Acquirer (like Private Equity), buying the whole business or the Enterprise Value - what is the equity value of the business, how much debt, how much cash – forensic analysis of the balance sheet, and determine all assets and all liabilities   Enterprise Value = market cap plus debt plus preferred stock plus minority interest minus cash. Enterprise Value compared to the operating income EBITDA – operating income / cash flow of the business   Magic Formula - Joel Greenblatt investing has 2 formulas to calculate:   Return on invested capital (ROIC) = EBIT / (net working capital + net fixed assets) Earnings yield = EBIT / Enterprise value.   Average Small Business gets valuation that is 1 – 2x cash flow multiple, because it is owner centric Big Business gets better Valuation (could be 6 – 12x cash flow) because it is robust and not dependent on 1 or few people    Tech Company with great secular growth, and a Moat could have a multiple of  20x free cash flow Ie - Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Visa , Mastercard   Mean Reversion – companies or stocks go down over time, because completion comes after the main players in a an industry and chip away   13F – follow 13 F of Super Investors for stock ideas, Toby does not use this method, even though he pays attention. Toby likes: Carl Ichan (Catalyst), Warren Buffet, David Einhorn, Dan Loeb (Third Point), Seth Klarman     Baupost Group – Seth Klarman is a deep value investor, buying into distressed companies    I Press – David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital made an activist push at Apple in 2013 to unlock value by creating share levels   Buffet's buy of Apple stock in 2016, put in $36 Billion   Buy the stock cheap, even when the value is going down to cash in on the opportunity, when the stock is rising again, it's too late    Howard Marks – no bad stocks, just bad prices, it's all about what price you pay     Acquires Multiple Checklist – strength to survive short term problems market size of mid cap or bigger ($2 bill +) plenty of cash on balance sheet & cash flow some acknowledgement of undervalue - paying down debt buying back stock, offloading asset, or sell business companies that buy back stock ROI do well, if issuing more shares = bad, look at share base compensation of managers Big Shareholder is engaged and pushing mgmt         Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement     ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT     Thanks for Listening.

Before being named President Trump's secretary of commerce in 2017, Wilbur Ross had already earned a reputation as the “King of Bankruptcy” over his 55-year career on Wall Street. Often working on high-profile bankruptcies such as Pan Am and Texaco, Ross helped restructure more than $400 billion in assets, and was named among Bloomberg's 50 most influential people in global finance. After coming to Washington, Ross faced equally tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years.  Now Ross shares the story of how he got to the top and stayed there, as he relates in his new book Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life. He rose from humble beginnings in North Bergen, New Jersey, applied simple principles with strict discipline, and ultimately Ross's strategies and dealmaking skills led to relationships with King Charles, Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, the Rothschild family, Steve Wynn, Lakshmi Mittal, Mike Milken, and many other famous personalities. Ross will also share his experiences with President Trump in the Oval Office. So whether you're interested in Ross's experiences as John Lennon's neighbor in the legendary Dakota apartment building, celebrating with Sir Richard Branson on his private island, or his tumultuous time in Washington, come hear a candid reflection of a life lived at the pinnacle of Wall Street, New York, and Palm Beach society, and the Trump administration.

Key Takeaways:IThe PSC Metals property owned by Carl Icahn is a significant urban redevelopment opportunity in Nashville, located on the Cumberland River near downtown.The property has been a scrapyard for decades and is heavily contaminated, potentially requiring hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up.Redeveloping the site will be complex, requiring collaboration with the city, state, and federal government, as well as community engagement.The redevelopment is expected to include vertical, mixed-use development with residential, commercial, and hospitality components, as well as public spaces and infrastructure improvements.Integrating public transportation, such as a trolley system or water taxis, is seen as an important aspect of the redevelopment.The community and local politicians will play a key role in shaping the redevelopment, and constructive engagement will be crucial to the project's success.The redevelopment is viewed as a legacy project that could transform Nashville's riverfront and serve as a model for urban revitalization.

In this episode, we examine recent SEC charges against billionaire hedge fund manager Carl Icahn, and what it means for his publicly traded holding company IEP.

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The [6.9%] yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of [8/28/2024]. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule.  Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions. Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on Public and cannot be transferred to other brokerages.

As Donald Trump's 79 year-old Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross was the oldest first-time Cabinet appointee in American history. Ross' mom, however - Agnes, a lifelong New Jersey schoolteacher and proud Democrat - probably wouldn't have been proud of her boy. As he acknowledges in his new memoir, Risks and Returns, Agnes always wanted her son to attend law school and was far from thrilled when Wilbur, then known on Wall Street as the “King of Bankruptcy,” became associated with Trump over one of his notorious bankruptcies. But as Wilbur confessed to me, he's still thinking, at the grand old age of 86, of making Agnes proud by going back to law school. Although, of course, that plan might be waylaid if Trump is, indeed, elected in November and invites the Wall Street financier back into his administration. Before being named President Trump's secretary of commerce in 2017, Wilbur Ross had already earned a reputation as the “King of Bankruptcy” over his 55-year career on Wall Street. Often working on high-profile bankruptcies such as Pan Am and Texaco, Ross helped restructure more than $400 billion in assets, and was named among Bloomberg's 50 most influential people in global finance. After coming to Washington, Ross faced equally tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years. Ross shares the story of how he got to the top and stayed there in his new book Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life.

When Stu Crum's college football heroics put him on the national radar as a model student-athlete, the expectations for a bright future could not have predicted his soaring ascent in business. Tagged as a winner with a natural gift for leadership, Crum made his name internationally in key positions with Texaco, Shell Oil, Jiffy Lube, and Bridgestone, wrangling deals with the likes of activist investor Carl Icahn and other heavy hitters.Yet beneath the surface lay a deeper man. While still at Tulsa University, Crum devoted his life to his faith and embraced servant leadership as his game plan for ultimate success in business, family, faith and fun. Despite personal setbacks and injury-laden stints with the NFL and USFL, Crum blossomed at every turn by developing a simple, dynamic playbook that put his every aspiration within reach. He calls it intentional living.Aim for the UprightsStu Crum Website Chasing What Matters Instagram

This Day in Legal History: Nineteenth Amendment AdoptedOn August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was officially adopted, marking a pivotal moment in American history by granting women the right to vote. The Amendment, which states that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex," was the culmination of decades of activism and struggle by women's suffrage advocates. Pioneers like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and many others fought tirelessly for this fundamental right, organizing rallies, petitions, and civil disobedience.The Amendment's adoption followed a lengthy ratification process, where Tennessee became the crucial 36th state to ratify the amendment, securing the necessary three-fourths majority. This victory did not come easily; it was the result of a concerted effort by suffragists who faced significant opposition. The Nineteenth Amendment not only expanded the electorate but also symbolized a broader movement toward gender equality in the United States. Its passage empowered women to engage fully in the democratic process and laid the groundwork for future advances in civil rights. The legacy of the Nineteenth Amendment continues to influence social and political movements to this day.Big Law firms are rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris by hosting high-dollar fundraising events. Sullivan & Cromwell's Rodge Cohen is organizing a New York lunch featuring Doug Emhoff, with ticket prices reaching up to $100,000. In Washington, Jenner & Block's Josh Hsu is co-hosting an evening reception where tickets are nearly $7,000. Since Harris became the Democratic frontrunner, high-profile attorneys have been mobilizing to support her campaign, with several already raising substantial sums. Notably, Mayer Brown partner Phil Recht, a Harris supporter, notes strong momentum in campaign contributions. The host committees for these events include prominent figures from Big Law and the tech industry, such as Skadden's Nina Rose and OpenAI's Johanna Shelton. The fundraising effort has seen significant engagement, with many top lawyers eager to contribute. For example, Dawn Smalls of Jenner & Block raised $100,000 in just a week, and partners at firms like Gibson Dunn and WilmerHale are actively supporting Harris through events and donations.Big Law Throwing Kamala Fundraisers with a Six-Figure Ticket TierThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is set to challenge Kroger's $25 billion merger with rival Albertsons in federal court, arguing that the deal would harm consumers and workers by reducing competition. The FTC's case, part of the Biden administration's broader effort to address rising consumer prices, will focus on how the merger could lead to higher grocery prices and diminish the bargaining power of unionized workers, particularly in states like California and Washington where both chains have significant overlap. This trial marks a significant test for FTC Chair Lina Khan, who has prioritized using antitrust laws to protect workers, a shift from the traditional focus on consumer prices.Kroger and Albertsons argue that the merger is necessary to compete with large multinational retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Amazon. They propose selling 579 stores to mitigate competition concerns and promise to lower grocery prices by $1 billion post-merger. However, the FTC, supported by several states, contends that the merger would lead to store closures and weakened union leverage. The trial, expected to last around three weeks, will also examine whether the proposed buyer of the divested stores, C&S Wholesale Grocers, can successfully operate them.This case is significant as it builds on the FTC's recent focus on labor market competition, following other antitrust actions that have challenged the impact of mergers on workers, such as those in the college athletics and publishing industries. The outcome could pave the way for more scrutiny of mergers based on their effects on labor markets.US FTC's bid to block Kroger-Albertsons merger heads to trial | ReutersKroger case tests FTC Chair Khan's bid to protect workers | ReutersThe US Chamber of Commerce, a conservative business organization, is urging Congress to maintain the 21% corporate tax rate and extend key provisions of the 2017 Republican-led tax law. The Chamber argues that these measures will support sustained economic growth, aiming for at least 3% annually. As Congress prepares for a major tax code overhaul next year, the Chamber is actively lobbying to preserve lower international tax rates set to increase in 2025 and to reinstate certain deductions for research and development, interest expenses, and full asset expensing. While Republicans generally support extending parts of the 2017 law, despite concerns about the growing deficit, Democrats advocate for raising the corporate tax rate to 28% and increasing taxes on the wealthy to cover the law's costs. The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School estimates that extending the law would only offset about 4.4% of its projected $4 trillion cost through economic growth.The US Chamber of Commerce is known for its conservative stance, particularly in advocating for pro-business policies and lower taxes. Historically, the Chamber has supported Republican initiatives and has often opposed regulatory measures that it views as detrimental to business interests.US Chamber to Ask Congress to Preserve 21% Corporate Tax RateCitgo Petroleum, originally founded in 1910 as Cities Service Company, became a significant player in the U.S. refining industry. In 1986, Venezuela's state-owned oil company, PDVSA, purchased a controlling stake in Citgo, integrating it into Venezuela's oil export strategy. Citgo operates as a major U.S. refiner with its headquarters in Houston, Texas.Currently, Citgo is at the center of a complex legal battle in the U.S. stemming from Venezuela's expropriations and debt defaults. A U.S. federal court officer, Robert Pincus, is overseeing an auction of shares in Citgo's parent company, PDV Holding, to satisfy up to $21.3 billion in claims. These claims have resulted from international arbitration awards and issues surrounding foreign sovereign immunity, making the case particularly complex.The auction process, ongoing since 2017, has faced multiple delays due to the complexity of the bids and the unprecedented legal context. The latest extension request, the third this year, would push the deadline to September 16 for Pincus to recommend a winning bid. The leading bidders are CVR Energy, supported by investor Carl Icahn, and an investment group led by Gold Reserve, a mining company. Following the recommendation, there will be a 21-day period for objections before a final sales hearing on November 7.US court officer requests new extension to select winner of Citgo auction | Reuters This is a public episode.

The hosts mention the GameStop short squeeze as an example of how short selling can backfire. They emphasize the potential for making a profit through short selling, but also the risks involved. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the real-life example of short squeezing in the case of Herbalife and the famous battle between Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. They explain the concept of short selling and short squeezes, highlighting the risks and complexities involved. They also touch on the role of activist investors and the moral implications of short selling. The hosts emphasize the excitement and addictive nature of short squeezing, but caution against the high risks involved. They conclude by discussing the historical origins of short selling and its impact on financial crises. Short selling involves betting against a stock and profiting from its decline in value. IN THIS EPISODE: The mechanics of short selling include opening a brokerage account, borrowing stocks, and monitoring account equity. Short selling can be profitable, but it also carries risks and can backfire, as seen in the GameStop short squeeze. Movies like 'The Big Short' and 'Casino Royale' provide examples of short selling in different contexts. Short squeezing involves betting against a stock and profiting from its increase in value, often driven by investor behavior. Short selling is a risky and complex practice that can have significant consequences for both short sellers and the companies involved. Activist investors play a role in short squeezes by buying stakes in companies and attempting to change their direction or value. Short selling has a long history, dating back to the 17th century, and has been associated with financial crises throughout history. While short squeezing can be exciting, it is important to understand the risks and complexities involved before getting involved in such practices.

Maisie Ganzler has never worked at an animal welfare charity nor an alt-protein company. Yet she's in the upper echelon of effectiveness when it comes to reducing the suffering of farmed animals. That's because she's served as an executive of a national food management company supplying 1,000 schools and corporate dining facilities, Bon Appetit Management Company, for decades. In her career, Maisie pioneered some of the first-ever corporate policies to require suppliers to stop using battery cages for laying hens and gestation crates for breeding pigs, meat reduction policies, and a whole host of other important animal welfare and sustainability initiatives.  When Bon Appetit would implement a policy like those mentioned, it was often seen as leading edge at the time, yet eventually would become the norm among food service companies. For example, Bon Appetit's 2005 cage-free egg policy would come to be adopted by McDonald's a decade later. Maisie even ran for McDonald's board of directors, backed by billionaire Carl Icahn, a campaign she writes that the fast food company spent $16 million to defeat. While she didn't make it onto McDonald's board, Maisie does sit on the board of directors of an alt-protein company called Air Protein, whose CEO Lisa Dyson has been a guest on this show before! So it was with great pleasure that I learned that Maisie has come out with her first book, which is part autobiography and part guide for others on how to create meaningful change in our food and agricultural system. The book, which just recently came out, is called You Can't Market Manure at Lunchtime: And Other Lessons from the Food Industry for Creating a More Sustainable Company. I read it and found it both informational, inspirational, and entertaining. What more could you want?  Well, maybe you'd want to hear Maisie's story straight from her rather than from me, so enjoy this conversation with a true pioneer for animals, farm workers, and everyone who wants to build a better food system. Discussed in this episode Josh Balk worked with Maisie on many animal welfare policies, and now runs The Accountability Board. David Benzaquen was a student who in 2005 helped catalyze Bon Appetit's cage-free policy, and who now is an executive in the plant-based food industry.  Maisie discusses the difficulties implementing the Better Chicken Commitment, leading Compassion in World Farming to extend its deadline for compliance. You can read more in CIWF's 2023 Chicken Track paper. Maisie recommends reading Civil Eats and the NRA Smart Brief. Our past episode with Resetting the Table author Robert Paarlberg. Walker Hayes' song Fancy Like has 146 million YouTube views, so it's not just Maisie and Paul who like it.  More about Maisie Ganzler Maisie Ganzler is the go-to expert on how companies can make positive change in supply chains and other entrenched systems. She's been interviewed by leading media outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, Fast Company, and Bloomberg, spoken at conferences around the world, written thought leadership pieces for Forbes, Huffington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle and is frequently called upon for strategic counsel by start-ups and big business alike. As Chief Strategy & Brand Officer for Bon Appetit Management Company, a $1.7 billion onsite restaurant company with 1,000-plus cafés at corporations, universities, and cultural institutions in 33 states serving more than 250 million meals per year, Maisie tackled local purchasing, antibiotics in meat production, sustainable seafood, humane care of farm animals, climate change, farmworkers' rights, and food waste, positioning the company as the foodservice industry's undisputed leader in sustainable purchasing and holistic wellness. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.

A Note from James:I am thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my podcast. Occasionally, I'll feature some timeless episodes as if they're brand new, sharing those that have greatly impacted me. One such figure is Nassim Taleb, whom I consider one of the smartest people on the planet.I've learned so much from Nassim, and I'm not sure he realizes or cares just how influential he's been on me. I was extremely grateful when he agreed to appear on my podcast. There's an interesting backstory to his appearance: he joined my show a few years ago, and we are airing that episode now, though he might not be aware of the whole story.Back in 2002, I was desperate—I was broke, struggling, losing my house, and my family was falling apart. I wrote to 20 influential individuals, including well-known investors and writers like Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn, expressing my desire to meet them. Only three responded.Jim Cramer was one of them. I had sent him ten ideas for articles he could write for TheStreet.com. To my surprise, he responded positively and encouraged me to write the articles myself, which kickstarted my career as a writer. From financial columns, I expanded into other topics.Victor Niederhoffer also replied because I sent him software programs tailored to his trading style, offering them for his and his traders' use and my assistance if needed, with no pressure to respond.Nassim Taleb was another who responded. I had reached out to him because I admired his book "Fooled by Randomness" and wished to meet him. Although he was willing to meet, I never followed up. However, many years later, he came on my podcast, bringing everything full circle, for which I am immensely grateful.Now, I am honored to reintroduce one of the smartest men in the universe, Nassim Taleb. Episode Description:In this episode, we explore Nassim Taleb's influential ideas, specifically his thoughts on antifragility, the unpredictability of life, and the beneficial role of trial and error in diverse areas such as technology, health, and business. As we mark ten years of learning, the host shares transformative conversations with Taleb, revealing how chaos and uncertainty can fortify systems, people, and industries. We examine Taleb's key principles: reducing interference, valuing variability, and the necessity of personal investment in outcomes. We also look at concrete examples. Further, we discuss how embracing errors and innovation can lead to breakthroughs in sectors like drug development and business ventures, and address the negative impacts of excessive rescue measures and regulatory constraints. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and theoretical exploration, this episode encapsulates the essence of antifragility as a pathway to resilience and fulfillment. Episode Summary:00:00 Celebrating a Decade of Podcasting: A Special Revisit00:35 The Power of Cold Emails: Life-Changing Connections02:04 Nassim Taleb: A Mind That Shaped My Worldview02:51 Exploring the Impact of Technology Through the Lens of Anti-Fragility04:18 The Evolution of Communication: From TV to Social Media04:47 The Paradox of Technological Progress: A Historical Perspective05:43 Disruptive Innovations and the Cycle of Technology08:41 Personal Anecdotes and the Philosophy of Email Communication09:24 The Intricacies of Responding to Emails and Setting Boundaries10:56 Journalism, Social Media, and the Quest for Authenticity15:27 Understanding Fragility vs. Anti-Fragility: A Deep Dive26:07 The Role of Variability and Stressors in Evolution and Health31:49 Applying Anti-Fragility to Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle49:43 The Importance of Political Variability and the Unpredictability of Life51:40 Exploring the Anti-Fragile Lifestyle52:00 The Power of Walking and Creative Thinking54:22 Embracing Natural Elements for Health55:06 Rethinking Medicine and Personal Health Strategies57:30 Navigating Social Relationships and Disruption01:00:31 The Essence of Anti-Fragility in Life and Work01:09:34 Understanding the Financial System and Its Fragilities01:12:33 The Role of Entrepreneurship and Risk in Society01:29:51 Reflecting on Writing, Publishing, and Intellectual Pursuits01:41:37 Closing Thoughts and Future Directions ------------What do YOU think of the show?

Episode Notes Some analysts had wondered if Airbnb could increase its supply of hosts and listings to meet the growing demand from travelers worldwide. That question has been put to rest, writes Executive Editor Dennis Schaal.  Airbnb said during its fourth-quarter earnings call on Tuesday it has around 7.7 million active listings. That's an increase of more than 1 million from the end of 2022. The company ended 2023 with a roster of more than 5 million hosts, also a jump of roughly 1 million from the previous year.  Airbnb also said its supply of listings increased 18% in the fourth quarter from the same period in 2022.  Next, Marriott had a banner 2023, especially in the luxury sector, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.  Marriott said during its fourth-quarter earnings call that it generated $3 billion worth of net income and a 48% profit margin last year. The company was boosted by its strength in luxury. Marriott had a company record of 58 luxury signings last year. It says its portfolio of luxury hotels is 50% larger than its nearest competitor.  Finally, billionaire investor Carl Icahn has again bought a stake in an airline — this time in JetBlue Airways, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Icahn reported a 9% stake in JetBlue, making him the airline's third-largest investor. JetBlue shares rose by more than 16% after news of Icahn's stake became public. That's welcome news for a company that has experienced its share of struggles in recent years, including declining revenues.  Icahn acquired a more than 20% stake in Trans World Airlines in 1985. He helped TWA grow, but it was saddled with debt and filed for bankruptcy twice.

Er is bijna geen bedrijf dat zo goed een aanstaande recessie voorspelt als een uitzendbureau. Loopt het spaak op de arbeidsmarkt, dan kan je er zo goed als zeker vanuit gaan dat de economie een tik krijgt. Randstad, het grootste uitzendbureau ter wereld, spreekt van een 'uitdagende markt' en heeft moeite om aan goed personeel te komen. De omzet en winst zijn flink gedaald. In deze aflevering kijken we of dat ook betekent of die 'echte' recessie er aan komt. Want steeds meer economen denken juist dat de VS een recessie gaat afwenden en de recessie hier is niet echt erg te noemen. Slecht zag het er wel uit voor de chipaandelen op het Damrak. Die trokken vandaag de AEX naar beneden, een nieuw record kan de index voorlopig wel even vergeten. Verder bespreken we de kwartaalcijfers van TUI. Een prestatie mag je afgelopen kwartaal wel noemen. De reisorganisatie heeft een recordomzet in de boeken gezet. Knap, als je bedenkt dat ze een paar jaar geleden nog met meerdere steunpakketten gered moest worden. Wat ook voorbij komt: Wereldhave dat hongerig is naar overnames. Speelgoedmaker Hasbro, waar beleggers even niet meer mee willen spelen. De grootste ontbosser van de Amazone die naar Nederland komt, Carl Icahn die de plaaggeest van Schiphol inslaat en nog heel veel meer. Oja! Een vooruitblik op de cijfers van Heineken, ABN Amro én Ahold Delhaize krijg je nog aan het einde van deze aflevering!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corporate and university leaders are wavering on public statements about the Israel-Hamas War. Yeshiva University President Rabbi Ari Berman has created a coalition and a statement of “truths” to help those leaders navigate and educate the campus movements making headlines. He underscores the importance of differentiating between Hamas and Palestinians. United Airlines reported better than expected third quarter results, but CEO Scott Kirby offered disappointing guidance for the fourth quarter. Kirby explains his outlook for the airline industry, how the Israel-Hamas War on the ground has disrupted air traffic, and the changes his lower-cost competitors are likely to make in the future. Plus, activist investor Carl Icahn has sued Illumina's board of directors, and President Biden has touched down in Israel.  Scott Kirby - 11:18Ari Berman - 19:13 In this episode:Scott Kirby, @unitedPhil Lebeau, @LebeaucarnewsAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

Last year was a banner year for those trading the New York chill for the Florida sun. Thirty-nine percent of Empire Staters packed up and moved to the Sunshine State, more than any year in history. In fact, recent census data revealed 1.6 million former New Yorkers (or 8% of Florida's total population) now call Florida home — and it's not just retirees. Favorable tax policies are fueling Florida's popularity, attracting top businesses, budding entrepreneurs, and so-called one-percenters, such as Donald Trump and Carl Icahn. Does that mean Florida is a better bet? Those who argue “yes” say New Yorkers are heading south where their money can last longer, their health can benefit from warmer climates, and their sense of safety can markedly improve. Others say that ‘blue state' policies are a better choice in the long run and that as the effects of the pandemic recede, New York will once again rise in popularity. They also say the state's inclusive practices and cultural diversity will pull people back to New York. It is in this context that we debate this question: Is Florida Eating New York's Lunch?  Arguing Yes: Reihan Salam -- Conservative Political Commentator, Columnist and Author, president of the Manhattan Institute    Arguing No: Bill de Blasio – Mayor of New York City from 2014 to 2021    Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.
