At Cambridge he had commercial success directing award-winning short films and TV commercials, then went on to write two feature films which were produced by Film Four and Columbia Tri Star before he had graduated. Aged 26, he decided to take a risk and move to Las Vegas with his life savings in his pocket, and for next few years, became a professional poker player. Caspar later returned to the UK to set up 21st Century Media which he later sold to Bob Geldof's Ten Alps plc. He now gives talks and mentors around the world on all his disparate experiences.Show Notes:How Caspar's early life decisions, driven by comfort with risk, led to diverse experiencesPoker as a metaphor for decision-making processes in life and businessThe complexity of assigning probabilities to actions and the challenges posed by unpredictabilityDifferences in risk-taking between individual and team sportsThe concept of 'negative metrics': sometimes the pursuit of certain performance metrics (e.g. home runs in baseball) might lead to higher failure rates (strikeouts)Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

The thought of taking a risk can dredge up feelings of discomfort or even outright fear for many. This reluctance has only been amplified by the uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. In this podcast, the Governance, Risk and Control (GRC) Conference 2020 keynote speaker Caspar Berry discusses the importance of taking risks and how not taking a risk may be costlier than taking a risk and failing.

If I Knew Then What I Know Now - With Caspar Berry by PlanetK2

Caspar Berry is a former professional poker player, having been the poker advisor on the James Bond movie Casino Royale. Caspar is now a speaker on risk, not only understanding this area from the principles of the game of poker, but it's underpinned with an economics degree from Cambridge University. In this discussion we talk about the parallels between poker and what we're experiencing through this viral pandemic – and there definitely are some. We talk about how to get good at poker which unveils an array of applicable lessons in terms of probabilities, luck and taking opportunities when they are presented to you. Caspar has a knack of making some unfamiliar concepts feel really accessible – he's a bright guy with whom I've loved chatting to over the years. And if a Las Vegas poker player and advisor on a Bond movie weren't enough Caspar has one of the most fun biographies going – which I will leave him to explain. Show notes Poker and a global pandemic – it is good when people appreciate uncertainty in their lives The importance of cash and savings Caspar's three important messages: The future is uncertain and we are way poorer than we think we are Everything is going to end eventually Insulate yourself against the downside and open yourself up to the upside Risk and decision making; short term versus long term allocation Working as an actor in Byker Grove Learning that poker and business are related, defined by decision making and resource allocation Luck - your short term deviation from your long term expectation as a result of that which you cannot control Olivia Colman & Sacha Baron Cohen – luck Don't play the man, play the cards Casino Royale How to play perfect poker Uncertainty and predicting the future The Ludic fallacy   Links Caspar is on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/casparberry/ You can visit Caspar's website at http://www.casparberry.com/ Supporting Champions on Twitter www.twitter.com/support_champs Steve Ingham on Twitter www.twitter.com/ingham_steve Supporting Champions on Linkedin, www.linkedin.com/company/supporting-champions Instagram https://www.instagram.com/supportingchampions/ A reminder if you're keen to pre-register for the next wave of Graduate Membership enrolments then you can do so at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/membership/ If you're looking for some coaching support or some virtual team development help to support you to get to the next level in work, life or sport then take a look at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/coaching-mentoring/ or drop us a note at enquiries@supportingchampions.co.uk then you can sign up for a free consultation to explore which package is right for you.

In the world of high stakes poker, players make critical decisions every 90 seconds without any knowledge of what hand their opponent holds. Each decision could be worth thousands — if not millions — of dollars, and there’s no reward for second place. Do you fold under pressure, or make a calculated bet based on all the risk factors and information you have in hand? In this episode of Adapt or Die, Cambridge-trained economist and former professional poker player Caspar Berry joins Matt Gunn to talk about what it means to make critical decisions under tremendous pressure.

On this week’s show Caspar Berry joins me to discuss Coping with Uncertainty as Success. I was recommended to connect with Caspar by a listener of the show, who had heard him deliver a corporate keynote speech, which was described to me as ‘utterly fascinating.” I’m confident that once you have listened to Caspar on this episode, you will feel the same way too. We explore the ideas of decision-making and judgement of the future, in times of uncertainty among many others.

Risk taking and decision making are key parts in the context of selling and sales. The goal for everyone is to make the best decisions and right decisions to get where you want to go, as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sometimes, it requires risk-taking activities in order to arrive at your goals. Caspar Berry, interviewed by John Golden, explores lessons on risk.

Caspar Berry gives the corporate world a greater understanding of their decision-making process. He shows people that all decisions are investment decisions. Investments of time, money, status, energy, comfort and security made with the intention of getting some kind of long term return. He tries to give people a better understanding of what “risk” is and how it is calculated in its essential form. This calibrated mathematical language allows people to understand, view and critically evaluate their decisions (and those of others) in a new way. He gives an understanding of the psychology of decision making and the cause of risk aversion among humans: i.e. why we are reluctant to embrace short term failures for long term gain. His final objective is to give participants an original and empowering method for using their own natural risk aversion as a motivational tool that can be used to achieve better long term results. And all of this is done using poker as a fun and engaging but completely relevant metaphor throughout.

Integrating traditional and new media to consumers that are rapidly globalizing is an extremely difficult challenge for marketers. In fact only 15% of marketers believe they are equipped to deal with the rapidly changing consumer and digital landscape, and only 8% believe agencies now effectively support their client's brands. We discuss the issue of where marketing is going in the next five years and what marketers need to do to keep ahead. We also discuss the technology explosion in the workplace, Corporate Social responsibility and how to pitch to an investor. Two great guests on the program, Caspar Berry who talks about ‘risk taking' and decision making, and Kenny Anderson who analyses the common denominators required for success.
