Welcome to this special holiday episode of the Not Real Art Podcast! As Sourdough explains early on in the show, this episode is fast and loose, featuring a bunch of boys behaving badly due to excessive amounts of holiday cheer! ManOne is finally back in the studio after his year-long assignment and what makes today's show even better is that James Shen and Teachr from Paint The Town podcast make an appearance too! After such a wild year of isolation, hustling, and adjustments, the warm energy throughout the conversation is palpable, with our hosts and guests feeling super excited to get a chance to catch up and shoot the breeze. The show kicks off with some stories about what it has been like trying to raise kids at this time in history, and then we move onto discuss the atmosphere of freedoms and restrictions in different parts of the U.S. at this late stage of the pandemic. From there, ManOne spills the beans about his assignment – a 78 x 14-foot mural that he has been making on panels in his studio! He also tells another story about doing a mural for Coca-Cola in Crips territory which ended in a police shootout! Other topics discussed on today's show include Trump finally being voted out, James and Teachr's plans for 2021 including the release of a new spray paint brand, and the appearance Sophie Dee will be making on the Paint The Town podcast next year. For all this and a whole lot more on topics of art, family, politics, porn, and the pandemic, be sure to tune in! Key Points From This Episode: The recent battle Teachr's son had with suicidal thoughts due to being cooped up at home. The evolving discourse around adoption and Sourdough's experience of raising his adopted kids. James discusses fame and being an influencer in relation to his and Teachr's careers. The situation in different places in America with COVID restrictions and freedoms. Perspectives on safely eating at restaurants using different kinds of masks. How James and Teachr have framed a recent podcast they did with a difficult guest. ManOne's process making a huge mural for RTI Cables and how it saved him this year. What everybody thinks about the vaccine and when they expect to take it. James' experiences partying with Sophie Dee who will be a guest on Paint The Town soon. A story where ManOne painted a Coca-Cola mural in a Crips neighborhood and things got out of hand. An announcement about the new spray paint label James and Teachr are releasing. How helpful podcasts have been for keeping people sane in this time of isolation. What people can expect from the Paint The Town podcast in 2021. ManOne's story about how street art is invisible until you start noticing it. Gratitude about Trump being voted out and thoughts about what he is planning next. Thoughts on what webcam sex websites mean from an anthropological perspective. For more information and photos, visit here: https://notrealart.com/paint-the-town-podcast

Welcome back to a new season of the show! Our first conversation is going to be a little different as we’ll be talking about this year’s picks for the 5x5x5 Russo Student Investment Fund. Joining me today is Tom Russo, who designed and funded this first-ever student investment fund at Columbia Business School in 2014, and students James Shen and Freda Zhuo, whose portfolio picks have performed particularly well. The 5x5x5 fund is run by the students of the Value Investing course at Columbia Business School, with ideas being submitted by the students each year. Five students are selected with five ideas that will be held in their entirety for five years. At the end of five years, the inflation-adjusted original amount is invested back into the fund and any other gains will be used to support scholarships for traditionally under-represented members of the class. As we enter year six of the fund, we’re taking a deeper look at the performance of the fund. On this episode, Tom, James, Freda and I discuss how the 5x5x5 fund is more valuable than others, why James and Freda selected the particular companies for investment, what they have learned since investing in those companies, overall observations of the past 5 years of the fund, and so much more! Key Topics: Why the 5x5x5 fund is more valuable than other student-run funds (1:35) The higher purpose of the fund (2:42) How Nuance Communications attracted James’ attention (3:41) What James learned from his initial research into Nuance (4:43) The changes James has seen in the months since the initial investment was made (5:57) Why investors should be on the lookout for companies making the transition to cloud-based software (6:42) Getting comfortable with a long investment horizon (8:16) Nuance’s competitive advantages over new players entering the market (9:24) Why Freda became interested in investing in Aon PLC (11:09) What Freda has learned about Aon since investing (12:12) How Freda maintained confidence in Aon despite the hit caused by COVID-19 (13:05) Significant developments in the insurance industry due to COVID-19 (14:32) Aon’s risk management advantage (17:58) Why Aon’s customer-centric model gives them an extra edge in client retention (20:28) How Aon mitigates disintermediation risk (23:00) Using new technology as an advantage for Nuance communications (25:49) How Aon covers risks internally (28:15) The redistributive nature of the shock caused by the pandemic (31:57) Observations from the past five years of the 5x5x5 fund (33:09) What to consider when constructing a resilient portfolio (36:22) Tom’s review of the fund and participants (40:47) And much more!
