We're sweeping up the glitter after awarding the 10th annual Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize to a trio of brilliant authors just a few days ago (more on that to come). We'll be back in your feed with more author interviews soon.  In the meantime... When Kobo in Conversation hosts Michael Tamblyn and Nathan Maharaj aren't reading books and interviewing authors for this show, they're working in the business of selling eBooks, audiobooks, and eReaders. In this episode, Nathan sat Michael down to get his takes on a bunch of book biz news making headlines now.* It's kind of an experiment, and we'll do it again soon—but we'll keep changing it up until we can make it feel right. Thoughts? Questions? Stuff you'd like us to cover? Email Nathan at nmaharaj@kobo.com or drop a comment below if you're listening on YouTube. Topics covered in this episode: What's a publisher, and why doesn't everybody self-publish now? Why does it seem like publishers buying each other all the time? Why are major players in high finance poking around in the book business so much lately? Why are big league publishing executives leaving to create new publishing companies—just to publish books by famous people? Costco's not going to sell books anymore: does it matter? Post-pandemic peril in Australian bookselling The "Spotify for audiobooks" before Spotify decided to be the Spotify for audiobooks   Books mentioned: The Trial: The DOJ's Suit to Block Penguin Random House's Acquisition of Simon & Schuster by Michael Cader of Publishers Lunch Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar The works of Ernest Hemingway, published by Scribner   *Michael may have actually staged a one man studio sit-in, and Nathan rolled tape to get him to leave.

It's everywhere, and it's not going away. In this summer remix, we're talking with Brendan Ballou, author of Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America, about how we got here and what happens next.  Links:  Private equity bought out your doctor and bankrupted Toys“R”Us — here's why that matters | The Verge Private equity and mismanagement: Here's what really killed Red Lobster | Fast Company Sony and Apollo send letter expressing interest in $26 billion Paramount buyout | NBC News Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America | Brendan Ballou Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco | Bryan Borrough & John Helyar Barnes & Noble is going back to its indie roots to compete with Amazon | The Verge Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge, and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Corporations are engines of progress and prosperity, directly influencing the quality of life of the general public while sometimes recklessly pursuing profit at the expense of us all.William joins Greg for a nuanced examination of the modern economy's central institution, its origins in the Roman Republic, where corporations were designed to promote the common good, their role in mediating influence between the tyranny of government and the populace, their flaws, and the cultural shift to turn increasingly to corporations to solve society's biggest problems rather than the public sector.William Magnuson is an associate professor at Texas A&M Law School. Previously he taught law at Harvard, worked as an associate in Sullivan & Cromwell, and as a journalist in the Rome bureau of the Washington Post. He is the author of Blockchain Democracy: Technology, Law and the Rule of the Crowd, and has written for numerous leading publications including Harvard Business Law Review, Stanford Journal of Law, Business and Finance, and the Wall Street Journal.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Creating corporations then vs. now15:27: Today, if you want to create a corporation, I could log on right now and form a corporation within the next five minutes, and I could include in my charter a provision that would say my purpose is all purposes that are legal. Now that's a remarkable change. It used to be you had to go in front of a sovereign and ask them for permission and show why you were going to be good for the state. Nowadays, you can just create immediately.25:55: It's hard to deny that the sole, single-minded pursuit of profit sometimes, maybe even often, leads to harm to society.The cultural shift in the way we view corporations16:22: There's been a cultural shift in the way that we view corporations. It used to be, we thought of them as a tool, right? This tool would be used to promote the common good through the pursuit of commercial endeavors. All right? You had to justify yourself to the sovereign. Nowadays, we don't think of that.Who influences your life today? The government or corporations.12:00: You think about who influences your lives more today. Is it the government, or is it a corporation? Most people spend eight to nine hours a day working for corporations. Most people are not doing that for the government. That gives you a pretty clear indication of the importance of corporations today.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR NabiscoAdam SmithGiovanni di Bicci de' MediciLudovic PhalippouGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Texas A&M Law School Professional Profile on LinkedInHis Work:For Profit: A History of CorporationsBlockchain Democracy: Technology, Law and the Rule of the Crowd

[REPLAY] My guest this week is Peter Attia, M.D., whose mission is to understand and improve human lifespan and healthspan (or quality of life).  Reading Peter’s research, you find that there are many similarities between health and investing—ideas like compounding—which we explore in detail. We spend a lot of time on mind, body, spirit and performance as it relates to living a better life. Of particular interest is the strategic problem that we face when studying longevity. As Peter puts it in our conversation: we are the species of interest, but we can’t conduct the kinds of experiments on humans—randomized trials, with control groups—that we apply to solve other big problems. So we have to back our way into a better understanding of longevity and quality of life. To that end, we discuss what we can learn from studying centenarians, the problem of progress in science, a drug called Rapamycin (which Peter believes could be revolutionary), eating, the importance of muscle mass, and the idea of distressed tolerance.  We emerge with a framework for thinking about health and well-being which can hopefully help us all live longer, better lives.

So far I’ve spent no time in the podcast discussing real estate, so I was excited to get the chance to talk to the team at Sorin Capital, a billion dollar hedge fund which specializes in commercial real estate, REITs, and commercial mortgage backed securities.  Sorin is lead by Jim Higgins, who founded the firm, and Tom Digan, who coincidentally was a college classmate of mine at Notre Dame. The conversation has two unique angles. The first, which starts about 20 minutes into the conversation after we introduce the sector and opportunity set, is a deep dive into a specific trade: a fairly contrarian take on the retail industry, specifically comparing different types of retail real estate. As you’ll hear, the dispersion of mispricings in the sector may be huge, creating opportunities for specialists to earn real alpha by doing bottom up work. The second angle we explore is what I believe to be a strong model for the future of asset management businesses, that is tailoring products, strategies, and even specific trades to the needs and risk-return profiles that clients want and need, instead of just selling a one-size-fits-all comingled fund.  You’ve probably heard me joke that this podcast should be called “This is who you are up against,” and this episode is a good example. I always enjoy exploring a niche part of the market, and this conversation on real estate is a perfect example of the type of work that firms do on behalf of their clients.  Please enjoy my conversation with the team from Sorin Capital.
