Erneuerbare Energie ist nicht zu stoppen, sagt der Klimaökonom Gernot Wagner – Solarstrom boomt und Öl ist einfach kein Business mehr. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Auch wenn US-Präsident Donald Trump die Klimaziele der USA wieder zurückschraubt, ist der Trend in Richtung Wind- und Solarenergie nicht mehr aufzuhalten. US-Unternehmen wie der Ölkonzern Exxon halten auch nach dem Ende des Inflation Reduction Acts an Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen fest. Der weltweit größte Vermögensverwalter Blackrock verknüpft Investments mit Umweltindikatoren. „Die Richtung stimmt, trotz Donald Trumps Kurs“, ist Klimaökonom Gernot Wagner deshalb auch überzeugt. Und das war eine gute Nachricht. Belege dafür sieht er im konservativen US-Bundesstaat Texas, weil dort Solarenergie boomt.Wagner findet aber auch in Europa vorbildhafte Beispiele, etwa Moldawien, das sich gerade unabhängig von fossilen Energieträgern gemacht hat. Unangefochtener Führer im Feld der Erneuerbaren Energien ist jedoch China mit seinen Sonnenkraftwerken und Photovoltaik-Parks. Dort wird das Business-Modell mit der Sonne konsequent vorangetrieben.Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Gernot Wagner ist Klimaökonom an der Columbia Business School und leitet dort die „Climate Knowledge Initiative“. Seine Fachgebiete sind Technologien zur Eindämmung des Klimawandels und politische Fragen. Wagner, gebürtiger Amstettner, hat in Harvard politische Ökonomie und in Stanford Wirtschaftswissenschaften studiert. Er ist Autor von insgesamt sechs Büchern zum Thema, unter anderem Climate Shock und Geoengineering: the Gamble. Wagner lebt mit seiner Frau und zwei Kindern in einem Haus in New York, das er selbst saniert hat. Seit acht Jahren kommt Wagner zum Europäischen Forum Alpbach, wo auch dieser Podcast stattgefunden hat.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

At a time when startups are primarily funded by private market investors, who you know has become a critical factor in gaining access to that venture capital. But how does the reliance on alumni and professional networks create barriers for startups from historically disadvantaged groups?Emmanuel Yimfor '20 is a finance professor at Columbia Business School and holds a Ph.D. from Rice University. His research focuses on entrepreneurial finance, diversity and private capital markets, with insights into gender and racial disparities in venture capital funding, board representation and how resources could be more equitably allocated.Emmanuel joins co-host Maya Pomroy '22 to discuss his career journey from working at a Cameroonian telecommunications company to teaching at some of the top U.S. business schools, as well as his research on the influence of alumni networks in venture capital funding, how AI tools can address biases in lending, and finally how he's teaming up with his son to bring AI tools to young innovators and entrepreneurs in Cameroon. Episode Guide:01:00 Exploring Entrepreneurial Finance03:36 The Role of Networks in VC Funding08:10 Emmanuel's Journey From Cameroon to the U.S.12:34 The Rice University Experience15:43 Research on Alumni Networks and Funding21:49 Algorithmic Bias in Lending33:17 Empowering Future Innovators in Cameroon38:42 Final Thoughts and Future OutlookOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Rethinking who gets funded in venture capital31:07: What does good networks mean exactly? If you look at venture capital partners, for example, right? They have worked at McKinsey before they became venture capital partners. So they have worked at certain companies, they have done certain jobs that then led them to become VCs. And so to the extent that we have a lack of representation in this pipeline of jobs that is leading to VC, then the founders that do not come from these same backgrounds do not have as equal access to the partners. And so what that suggests is something very basic, which is like, just rethink the set of deals that you are considering. That might expand the pool of deals that you consider, because, you know, there might be a smart person out there that is maybe not the same race as you, but that has an idea that you really, really want to fund. And that is something that I think, like, everybody would agree with. You know, we want to allocate capital to its most productive uses.From hard data to meaningful change29:13: So I have a belief in America, at least based on my life journey, which is: if you work hard for long enough, somebody is going to recognize you and you will be rewarded for it. And so I really believe that America takes in data, thinks about that data for a while to think about whether the research is credible enough, and then, using that data, they are a good Bayesian, so they get a new posterior. They act in a new way that is consistent with what the new before and the new data. And so I think about my role as a researcher as just like, you know, providing that data. Here is the data, and here is what is consistent with what we are doing right now. Now, you know, what you do with that information now is like, you know, update what you are doing in a way that is most consistent with efficient capital allocation—is my hope.Why Emmanuel finds empirical work so exciting 21:34: Empirical work is so exciting to me because then you are like, "I am a little bit of a police detective." So you take a little bit of this thing that feels hard to measure, and then you can create hypotheses to link it to the eventual outcomes, to the extent that that thing that is hard to measure is something that is leading to efficient capital allocation. Then, on average, you know, this feeling that you get about founders that are from the same alma mater should lead to good things as opposed to leading to bad things. And so, you know, that is exactly the right spirit of how to think about the work.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Emmanuel Yimfor | Columbia Business SchoolEmmanuel Yimfor | LinkedInEmmanuel's Website

After graduation from Macalester College in St. Paul, Lawrence Perelman imagined a performing arts cable channel. So he earned an MBA at Columbia Business School and later founded Semantix Creative Group, a strategic advisory firm for performing artists and global performing arts institutions. As Semantix's CEO, Lawrence kept pitching his idea, and even discussed it with Carnegie Hall's Clive Gillinson. In December 2021, Lawrence, as co-founder, was part of the team that launched Carnegie Hall+, a premium subscription on-demand channel on the Apple TV app. As you'll hear in this episode, his parents always encouraged him to take risks: “You want to meet someone and accomplish something? Write them a letter.” That's maybe the most valuable lesson he learned: "...to put your heart out there and make a statement." So, in 1994, he wrote a letter to William F. Buckley Jr. to thank him for emboldening Soviet Jews to come to America, as his parents did. Suffice it to say that over the years, Buckley became a friend and mentor who changed the course of Lawrence's life "because he took time to answer my letter." This is a unique episode!

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Patricia Angus, Founder and CEO of Angus Advisory Group, an independent consulting practice serving enterprise families. A former international trusts and estates lawyer, Patricia is a thought leader in the field of multi-generational family governance, wealth and philanthropy. She has been advising global families and their companies, family offices, and foundations, for three decades and is the author of The Beneficiary Primer, among numerous publications. She founded the Global Family Enterprise Program at Columbia Business School, where she teaches graduate and executive education courses, and is a Fellow and board member of the Family Firm Institute and a frequent speaker at industry and family events. Patricia is a long-time friend and collaborator of FOX. Patricia is one of the pioneers in the family wealth space and has been at the forefront of the industry for over 3 decades. As she reflects on the past 30 years, she shares what she believes has changed significantly and what has stayed the same. As Mark Twain famously said, “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Today, we find ourselves once again in a time of significant geopolitical and economic shocks, armed conflicts at home and abroad, and the return of populism and authoritarianism even among western democracies. Patricia offers some of the lessons she has learned and would like to pass on to families and their advisors on how to best weather such times of conflict, instability, and disruption. Throughout her career, Patricia has developed a number of practical tools for families – one prominent example of a tool she utilizes with her clients is the Trustee and Beneficiary Primer. She tells us more about these tools, what is in them, and how families and their advisors can benefit from them. In the family wealth space, there is a mix of practitioners and academic programs aimed at helping families of wealth achieve success throughout their multigenerational journey. Patricia provides her insights into how families should think about utilizing practitioners vs. academics, highlighting the utility and limitations of each of these resources and offering tips into how families can achieve the right balance between the different kinds of knowledge and tools both academia and practitioners provide? Do not miss this deeply insightful conversation with one of the veterans and original thought leaders of the family wealth space.

#185: That moment when the room falls silent after you've spoken up—not because you're wrong, but because you dared to say something. You've just stepped into that familiar territory where advocating for yourself or others gets you labeled as "difficult," while others receive praise for the exact same behavior.This frustrating double standard isn't just in your head. Harvard Business Review research confirms that 66% of women receive negative personality descriptors in performance reviews when they speak up, with words like "abrasive" and "difficult" appearing far more frequently than in men's reviews. Columbia Business School found that when women are assertive, their likability drops significantly, while men's remains unchanged. We're constantly navigating an impossible tightrope: be warm but not strong enough for leadership, or be direct but "unlikable."The calculation is exhausting—how do I speak my truth without being seen as "too much"? But remaining silent is equally damaging, reinforcing inequities and teaching others you'll tolerate imbalance. Every social advancement throughout history came because someone was willing to be labeled difficult. From women's suffrage to workplace protections, progress happens when people speak uncomfortable truths.You can advocate effectively by leading with facts, using "we" framing instead of "I need," practicing neutral delivery, and knowing which battles deserve your energy. Set boundaries early rather than letting resentment build, and surround yourself with people who value directness rather than trying to convince others your personality is worthwhile.If speaking up makes you "difficult," then perhaps more of us should embrace being difficult together. Workplaces, relationships, and societies don't improve because everyone stayed comfortable—they change because someone had the courage to say "this isn't working" and advocate for better. The next time someone calls you difficult, consider that they might actually be telling you that you're doing something right.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

I can't help but call Glenn "Dean Hubbard" since I met him as a student at Columbia Business School. That was 2005, making him one of the guests I've known the longest.I invited him to the podcast after seeing a talk he gave on the 300th birthday of Adam Smith. My recent learning more about Smith and other Enlightenment thinkers led me to find relevance between their thinking about how to live together without hurting each other and how we handle polluting and depleting today. I knew Glenn studied Smith for longer and in more depth than I have so I invited him to share about Smith.We started with his background, having worked with the White House. He then shared about Smith, in particular not seeing just his economics in Wealth of Nations, also his philosophy in Theory of Moral Sentiments.I shared some of the views I've been developing, though not comprehensively. He responded, politely and informatively, considering my inexperience expressing my ideas. He pushed back and educated.I couldn't help also sharing how much I'd learned at business school that was relevant to sustainability and I found little elsewhere, especially the social and emotional skills of leadership. I couldn't help building up my alma mater and the value of leadership in the task of changing culture.Glenn's home page at Columbia Business School Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Marilynn Joyner, a former commercial real estate exec turned tech founder, to unpack her journey from corporate intensity to building Her Workplace, an AI-powered career platform designed for ambitious Gen Z and millennial women. Key Highlights: A Career on Her Terms: Marilynn's early career in commercial real estate exposed her to a male-dominated, competitive culture. Despite early success, she realized she was following rules she didn't create and sought more autonomy and purpose. The Pivot Point: While attending Columbia Business School, Marilynn's experiences, coupled with the pandemic slowdown. sparked her entrepreneurial journey. A side project, mentorship from a startup founder, and workplace burnout fueled her desire to create something new. Finding the Gap: Through conversations with friends and peers, she discovered a lack of career resources and support for mid-career women, those not yet in the C-suite but striving for leadership. This white space became the inspiration for Her Workplace. From Idea to Impact: What began with 7 in-person events and a waitlist of 5,000 women turned into a full-fledged membership platform that now includes networking, mentorship, coaching, and AI-powered tools. AI for Human Connection: Her Workplace uses AI to match members with mentors, peers, and career resources, making career growth more personalized—and more human. “The mission of Her Workplace has always been to help women grow into leadership and enact change in their own careers, and now we're using tech to accelerate that.” Connect with Marilynn Website Company Instagram Marilynn's Instagram Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website

#628: You follow all the right personal finance advice. You know you should save more, invest regularly, and build an emergency fund. So why does it feel so much harder for some people than others? The answer lies in your personality. Dr. Sandra Matz, a professor at Columbia Business School, studies the intersection of psychology and money management. She joins us to explain why one-size-fits-all financial advice often fails. Her research found that agreeable people — those who are caring, empathetic, and put others first — have a harder time saving money. The solution isn't better budgeting apps or stricter rules. It's reframing financial goals to match your personality type. For example, agreeable people save more effectively when they view their emergency fund as protection for loved ones or a way to help others during tough times. By contrast, competitive personalities respond better to framing savings as getting ahead in life. This personalized approach extends beyond personality assessments. Algorithms can now predict your financial behavior using digital footprints — social media activity, spending patterns, even smartphone usage. With just 300 Facebook likes, artificial intelligence understands your money habits better than your spouse does. The conversation also covers the darker implications. Companies exploit these same psychological insights to manipulate spending decisions. Dr. Matz discusses data cooperatives as a solution — member-owned entities where people collectively benefit from their shared information. We dive into negotiation strategies for salary increases, breaking out of financial echo chambers, and using AI to optimize your money management without losing your decision-making autonomy.

Adam teaches leadership at Columbia Business School, where I learned there were classes in leadership, which changed the direction of my life. Regular listeners know I consider leadership the most important missing element in sustainability. To change the environmental effects we're barreling into, we have to change the causes, which are our behavior, which result from culture.Changing culture requires leadership, not just management. Effective leadership inspires. Adam's latest book is Inspire.You can imagine my enthusiasm to talk with a star professor at one of the world's top institutions (to which I'm deeply connected) teaching leadership on the topic of how to inspire and become an inspirational person and leader.We begin by talking about his background, how he began working in psychology, then moved to teaching at a business school, and the rewards he found there. Of all the departments and schools in a university, I believe business schools' leadership departments provide the most useful and effective tools and people to solve our environmental situation.In other words, if you are interested in solving our environmental problems, you can learn from Adam. We mostly talk about his book, Inspire, and how to put it into practice.Adam's home pageAdam's page at Columbia Business School Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of French Insider, Agathe Benoit, Chief Operating Officer and founding team member of Giftory, joins Sheppard Mullin attorneys Karl Buhler and Inès Briand to discuss the company's business model and the challenges of launching the “experience gifting” concept in the United States.   What We Discussed in This Episode: What is Giftory, what are its core offerings, and where does it operate? What motivated the company to expand into the corporate gifting and B2B market? What challenges have been faced in bringing the experience gifting concept to the U.S.?

Does Giftory offer the same experiences across all locations, or do offerings vary by city and state? What criteria does the company use when deciding to partner with a provider? How does Giftory ensure a premium experience for both the gift giver and the recipient? What are the advantages of purchasing through Giftory, rather than directly from the provider? What key achievements and challenges stand out in the process of building and expanding the business? What advice would you offer others looking to launch a business in the United States?   About Agathe Benoit Before co-founding Giftory, Agathe Benoit served as Head of Seller Operations at Back Market, the global leader in refurbished technology.

It might sound counterintuitive but digital transformation is not about technology. So, what does it mean for companies to keep up in an ever-evolving digital age? Well, according to today's guest, it's about having a “strategic imagination.”David Rogers, an instructor at Columbia Business School, is an OG thinker on digital transformation. His books, The Digital Transformation Playbook: Rethink Your Business for the Digital Age and The Digital Transformation Roadmap: Rebuild Your Organization for Continuous Change, laid the foundation for an entire strategic approach to taking companies into the digital age. David and Greg delve deep into the misconceptions about digital transformation, emphasizing that it's not merely about technology but about strategic imagination and continuous organizational change. They discuss the evolution of digital transformation over the past decade, the importance of a well-defined strategic vision, and the roles of agile methodologies, hypothesis-driven experimentation, and cohesive leadership.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Digital transformation is about contexts56:33: The question of digital transformation. It is not about bolting technology onto an existing company. It is about—really, it is about—how do we adapt an organization so that it can thrive in a digital context, right? The digital is actually about the context, not about what you are doing, even necessarily per se, inside the business. And to me, the most defining characteristic of the digital era is this accelerating change and accelerating and growing uncertainty that organizations have to cope with.What makes an effective leader?25:16: Effective leaders do not orient their job around making decisions primarily. What they are primarily trying to do is to define what truly matters, to then communicate that to others, achieve that kind of alignment and clarity that we are pulling in the same direction, and then to empower others—to enable the rest of the organization to do it.Digital transformation is not about technology10:28: Digital is not about the technology inside your company. It is not about the behaviors of the market and the customers. But it is more the context we are in, which is one of—not a change that happened in 1994 to 1996, or some other change. Oh, the shift to mobile. Oh, the shift to this. Let's shift to the cloud. It is just one after another, and each wave of technology change is catalyzing the next. It is not just, “Oh, why are they each coming?” Well, each one is building on the one right before it. And so we are dealing with this pace of change and level of uncertainty; therefore, in your context, for any organization, that is unprecedented and certainly not what big organizations were built for and organized for in the 20th century.Strategy as thinking discipline34:39: Strategy is something you need to embed in every level of organization as a thinking discipline, which is about defining: what are we trying to achieve? What do we believe is a way—or the best way—to achieve that at this point in time.Show Links:Recommended Resources:James Hackett Daniel KahnemanPraveer Sinha, TataSteve BlankBob DorfGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Columbia Business SchoolProfessional WebsiteProfessional Profile on LinkedInNewsletter on SubstackGuest Work:The Digital Transformation Roadmap: Rebuild Your Organization for Continuous ChangeThe Digital Transformation Playbook: Rethink Your Business for the Digital AgeThe Network Is Your Customer: Five Strategies to Thrive in a Digital Age

Michael Chad Hoeppner, CEO of GK Training and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, brings a deeply practical lens to one of the most undervalued professional skills: spoken communication. With roots in professional acting and over two decades coaching executives, Hoeppner challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that most communication advice is either vague (“slow down”) or abstract (“just be confident”), and fails to address the real issue: communication is physical.   In this episode, he shares specific, kinesthetic methods that help clients speak more clearly under pressure. From using Lego blocks to build well-structured thoughts, to timing answers with a wiffle ball in political debate prep, Hoeppner demonstrates that improving communication is not about talent, it's about training behavior.   “Speaking is movement. We put air into action—that's what talking is. And you can learn to do it a lot, lot better.”   Key Insights: Delivery is Undervalued, but Often Drives Perception “Most coaching hyper-focuses on content and completely neglects delivery,” Hoeppner explains. Yet “delivery really, really determines much of the impression your audience makes about you.” Rambling, Fillers, and Anxiety Are Physical, Not Mental, Problems He critiques typical advice like “don't say um” as “thought suppression” and instead teaches clients to physically anchor themselves. One client stopped chronic blushing mid-session by simply learning to ground her feet. Tools Like Lego Blocks Make Structure Tangible “Pick up a Lego block, say your first idea, and put it down in silence. That pause gives your brain time to think,” Hoeppner shares. These physical anchors help clients avoid word salad and clarify complex thinking. Founders with Growth Mindsets Improve Fast “They're not held back by ego. They care deeply, they want to improve now, and that means they practice,” he says. In contrast, those with fixed mindsets (“I'm just a bad speaker”) often plateau. AI Will Make Delivery the Strategic Differentiator As language models democratize content, he argues, “delivery, how you say it, will matter more than ever.”   The episode closes with a powerful call to reframe communication not as a soft skill, but a trainable, high-leverage behavior, one that can transform not just boardrooms and keynotes, but daily leadership and presence.   Get Michael's new book here: https://dontsayum.com/ Learn more about Michael here: https://gktraining.com/michael-chad-hoeppner/   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Are your compensation strategies sabotaging employee engagement? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Peter Winick sits down with Stephan Meier, Chair of the Management Division at Columbia Business School and a leading voice in behavioral economics. Stephan shares insights from his journey—from academia to the Federal Reserve to corporate advisory—exploring how behavioral science can reshape the way organizations understand motivation, incentives, and employee experience. They dive into why traditional, money-centric reward systems fall short—and how many leaders still default to outdated playbooks. Stephan challenges organizations to look beyond perks and pay, and instead design work environments that leverage autonomy, purpose, and learning. The conversation introduces the concept behind his new book, "The Employee Advantage", and draws a powerful parallel: Treat employees like customers. Personalize their experience. Listen deeply. Improve constantly. This episode offers practical, research-backed ideas that any leader can implement to drive performance, engagement, and retention. If you think a ping-pong table is the answer to your culture problems, think again. Three Key Takeaways: • Money isn't enough – Beyond a certain point, financial incentives have limited impact on motivation. Intrinsic drivers like autonomy, purpose, and learning matter more. • One-size-fits-all doesn't work – Just as customer experience is personalized, employee experience should be too. Engagement improves when organizations tailor motivation strategies to individual needs. • Culture is built through systems – Perks like ping-pong tables won't fix disengagement. Real impact comes from designing systems that listen to employees and support continuous improvement. If Stephan Meier's insights on behavioral economics and humanizing the workplace sparked your interest, you'll want to check out this powerful conversation with Ryan McCarty and Mark Goulston. While Stephan focused on the science behind motivation and engagement, Ryan and Mark dive into the heart of it—how purpose, empathy, and service can transform leadership and culture. It's a natural next step in rethinking what truly drives people at work.
