In this special “Oh Snap, Guess What I Saw” edition of Just Press Record, Matt Zeigler welcomes back writer and thinker Eric Markowitz for a deep reflection on resilience, longevity, and the power of being unapologetically human in a digital age.

These linked themes have informed her writing and scholarly-civic engagement in Andean South America and the upper U.S. South. She has carried out ethnographic field research in Peru and Bolivia, exploring the situation of peasant farmers and ranchers and their use of communal or collective strategies to improve their production systems and economic bargaining power. This experience led to a long-term interest in Andean food and agriculture as well as an engagement with building equitable food systems in the United States Her work has also addressed the roles of Non-governmental organizations as change agents in South America and the United States. Her most recent project concerns the grocery industry.

You're in the right place: Watch brand consultant Elie Jacobs and former investigative journalist turned hedge fund analyst Eric Markowitz as they meet for the first time ever! Only on "Just Press Record" - hosted by Matt Zeigler, right here on the Cultish Creative YouTube channel.

Inspired by Tim's presentation at the 2024 ABMA Conference, we discuss the shift from "throwing trash into beautiful habitats" to goal-based enrichment, how the late Hal Markowitz was way ahead of his time, the importance of overcoming "analysis paralysis" to make approximations towards improved welfare, how enrichment can give animals purpose, the role on unpredictability in animal care, and the exciting frontiers of free operants and enriched experiences.

Welcome to the 9th episode of "Here I Am with Shai Davidai," a podcast that delves into the rising tide of antisemitism through insightful discussions with top Jewish advocates. In this episode of 'Here I Am With Shai Davidai,' Shai interviews activist Amanda Markowitz. The conversation starts with Shai praising Amanda's unique ability to remain positive while dealing with serious issues. Amanda shares her background, revealing that she is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. She discusses the generational trauma and survival instincts that have been passed down through her family, emphasizing the importance of appreciating life and not dwelling in darkness. Amanda recounts her initial anger following the events of October 7th but explains how she transformed that anger into activism. She focuses on Holocaust education, Israel advocacy, and fighting misinformation. Amanda highlights the significance of community and the support she has received and provided through social media and events. She mentions her involvement with the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum and her efforts to increase visibility and education about the Holocaust. The discussion also covers Amanda's recent trip to Israel, where she visited areas affected by conflict, spoke with hostage families, and met with wounded soldiers. She describes the resilience and appreciation for life she observed in Israel, despite the ongoing challenges. Amanda reflects on the importance of bearing witness and creating a supportive community, both online and offline. Throughout the interview, Amanda and Shai discuss the parallels between current events and historical instances of anti-Semitism, particularly the 1930s. Amanda stresses the need for education and awareness to prevent history from repeating itself. She also talks about the importance of Jewish joy and resilience, even in the face of adversity. The episode concludes with a lightning round of questions, where Amanda shares personal insights, such as her favorite Jewish holiday (Passover), her least favorite (Yom Kippur), and what gives her hope (her children). She also recommends donating to Sheba Hospital, highlighting its importance in providing medical care to people of all backgrounds in Israel.

In the early morning hours of December 17, 1968, two gunmen burst into the Atlanta motel room of Barbara Jane Mackle and her mother, Jane. After tying up and chloroforming Jane Mackle, the two kidnapped Barbara, forcing her into their car at gunpoint. Later that day, a family friend received a call at the Mackle home in Florida, instructing them to look in the northwest corner of the Mackle's yard, where they would find a ransom note with details about how to ensure their daughter's safe return.Once the note was unearthed, the Mackle's learned their daughter had been placed inside a box and buried in the ground in a remote location. She has enough food, water, and air to survive for a few days, but if the family doesn't act quickly, there's a good chance Barbara will dieThe kidnapping of Barbara Jane Mackle was an elaborately planned, well-executed crime that quickly dominated local and national headlines, which was no small feat in a year of major social upheaval. By the 1960s, kidnapping for ransom was a familiar concept, but to be kidnapped and buried alive was a terrifying thought that shook Americans to their core and left everyone wondering, what kind of person could do such a thing?Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me The Axe Podcast for research and writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1968.

#526: Recorded LIVE on stage at the Morningstar Conference in Chicago! We chat with behavioral finance professor Meir Statman. He breaks down the differences between standard finance and behavioral finance, making it clear that understanding human behavior is an essential part of investing. Statman starts by explaining that standard finance assumes people are rational. They make decisions purely based on logic and aim to maximize wealth. However, behavioral finance sees people as normal, not always rational. We often act on emotions and cognitive shortcuts. For instance, people might prefer receiving dividends over selling shares, even if both result in the same financial gain. This is because dividends feel like income, while selling shares feels like dipping into savings. He uses a great metaphor to explain how investors view their portfolios. Think of a dinner plate: behavioral investors like their investments separated, like mashed potatoes on one side, vegetables on another, and steak in the middle. Rational investors don't care if it's all blended together because they only focus on the total nutrients. This shows that normal investors have different needs and want to balance safety with growth. Statman talks about the importance of diversification. He recalls a lunch with Harry Markowitz, the father of Modern Portfolio Theory, who supported the idea of having a mix of safe and risky investments. Markowitz himself had municipal bonds to avoid poverty and stocks to grow wealth. Diversifying helps investors manage risk and meet both their safety and growth needs. We then dive into how people manage money across their life cycle. Statman points out that young people know they need to save but are tempted to spend. They often control this urge by putting money into retirement accounts like 401(k)s. As people get older, they become so good at saving that they sometimes forget to spend and enjoy their money. Statman gives a funny example of his mother-in-law, who refused to replace an old sofa because she didn't want to dip into her savings. Statman also touches on asset pricing and market efficiency. He explains that while traditional finance focuses solely on risk, behavioral finance considers other factors like social responsibility. Some investors are willing to accept lower returns to stay true to their values. Additionally, he argues that market prices do not always reflect true value, and it's hard to predict when they will. Towards the end, we discuss the broader aspects of wellbeing. Statman emphasizes that financial wellbeing is just one part of a happy life. Family, health, work, and community are also crucial. He believes financial advisors should help clients achieve overall life wellbeing, not just financial success.

Mentorship has long been recognized as a crucial component of training physicians. Benefits of mentorship in medicine include increased productivity, improved career satisfaction, expansion of professional networks, reduction in stress, and better work-life balance. Mentorship has also been shown to aid recruitment and retention of a diverse physician workforce. The establishment of mentorship programs has been proposed as a mechanism for promoting inclusivity and diversity within academic medicine, but setting up successful programs can be challenging.Today's podcast features 3 accomplished anesthesiologists at different stages of their careers who will discuss the benefits of good mentorship programs and how to start successful programs in both academic and private practice.Scott Markowitz, MD, MSOL, is Professor of Anesthesiology and Vice-Chair for Professional Development and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Washington University in St. Louis.

Ever wondered why some investors seem to ride the waves of market volatility with grace, while others get swept away by the current? Our latest episode of Not Another Investment Podcast offers a lifeline to those floundering in the choppy waters of strategic asset allocation. I'm your host, Edward Finley, guiding you through the complexities of matching your risk appetite with your financial aspirations. We tackle the psychology of loss aversion, the tug-of-war between liquidity and potential gains, and the distinction between systematic and active risks that could make or break your portfolio's performance.Venture with us into the realm of portfolio optimization where the elegance of Markowitz's mean-variance curve meets the gritty reality of our financial markets. Together, we'll dissect the science of combining different assets to construct a portfolio that not only sings to your individual risk tolerance but also waltzes along the efficient frontier of returns. But the path to investment nirvana is strewn with estimation errors and the ever-present specter of diversification. So, we'll arm you with the knowledge to navigate these pitfalls and manage risk like a seasoned pro.To cap off, we peer into the Black-Litterman model's crystal ball, revealing how it draws from the CAPM's market efficiency theory to craft portfolios that resonate with current market sentiments. Comparing this approach with its mean-variance counterpart, we illustrate how it shapes conservative and growth-oriented investments. Finally, we shift into the gears of risk control strategies, from the equity-heavy Black-Litterman to the harmonious risk parity approach, promising to inform your next investment move. Tune in for an episode that doesn't just scratch the surface, but charts a map through the investment management labyrinth.Episode Notes:  https://1drv.ms/p/s!AqjfuX3WVgp8un20bLpr6Q2agiEmThanks for listening!

Leaded gasoline could not have become a universally-used commercial product without an enforcer. Someone who was dedicated to protecting the status quo position that leaded gasoline was safe to use and not a threat to the general public. And that enforcer was named Dr. Robert Kehoe. In 1925 he was appointed chief medical consultant of the Ethyl Corporation and remained in the post until his retirement in 1958. Though he continued to fight for leaded gasoline after that and he lived until the 1990s. Thomas Midgley, Jr. might be the one responsible for inventing leaded gasoline. But Robert Kehoe is the one responsible for protecting industry from uncomfortable questions about lead so that it could be used as long and widely as it was. Until the 1960s, the only studies of the use of tetraethyl lead were funded by the lead, gas, and car industries and carried out by Robert Kehoe. REFERENCES Brown, Oliver W.

Thomas Midgley Jr. invented two things that were used all over the world. Firstly, he invented leaded gasoline. This helped car engines operate more efficiently, but at the cost of spewing poisonous gas everywhere. The second invention is Chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs." These substances, which were sold under the brand name Freon, had widespread applications in refrigerators and aerosols. But it eventually discovered that these CFCs were eating away at the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere. Ozone depletion allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, which can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The fact that a single individual invented both of these things which were slowly killing humanity before they were phased out, led Environmental historian J. R. McNeill to say that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history." Before Thomas Midgley died in 1944, he didn't see himself as destructive. Because the scientific community showered him with praise and prizes and accolades during his lifetime. And he didn't even have a reason to think he was doing anything bad because the government regulators who were tasked with protecting the American public gave his inventions a pass. This story represents a complete failure of tech entrepreneurs to consider the adverse impacts that their inventions might have, a failure of the scientific community to check one of their own, and a failure of supposed protectors of the public interest to do their jobs. And all of these failures basically meant that the generation after Midgley was forced to clean up his mess.

** Trigger Warning: This podcast discusses suicide. If you are suicidal, please call/text/chat 988 ** My brave friend Jessy Markowitz joins us from Las Vegas to share her story. Jessy starts with the realities of her life resulting in immense pain and, at times, loss of hope. Jessy talks about her father's death at age 4, being sexually assaulted, and then her brother Dennis' death from suicide in Feb 2017. Jessy was very close to Dennis and talks about the pain of his death. Jessy, now a married mother, talks about feeling so much darkness and lack of hope in her life following Dennis' death. Jessy talks about the deeply spiritual experiences that led her to Jesus and to membership in the Church (and later her husband). Jessy talks about the dramatic contrast between her life without Jesus and her life now with Jesus, the Church, and the healing power of His atonement. It is a remarkable story that gives hope to everyone. Jessy talks about her love of the temple (including her husband Mitch doing the proxy work for her brother and father). Jessy concludes with her testimony of the Church, Jesus, BYU-Pathways, and her plans to write a book. I was so moved listening to Jessy's powerful story and testimony. Thank you, Jessy, to being on the podcast and your work to help everyone feel the love, peace, and hope of Jesus. You are a remarkable woman and help make this world a better place.
