In 1688, essayist Josef de la Vega described finance as both “the fairest and most deceitful business . . . the noblest and the most infamous in the world, the finest and most vulgar on earth.” The characterization of finance as deceitful, infamous, and vulgar still rings true today – particularly in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But, what happened to the fairest, noblest, and finest profession that de la Vega saw? De la Vega hit on an essential truth that has been forgotten: finance can be just as principled, life-affirming, and worthy as it can be fraught with questionable practices. Today, finance is shrouded in mystery for outsiders, while many insiders are uneasy with the disrepute of their profession. How can finance become more accessible and also recover its nobility?

When it comes to managing one's money, it is easy to fall into a myopic approach based on returns and growth, without considering the broader view of life.  Of course, there is a balance in all things and this is true with wealth management—live recklessly without saving for the future and there may be major consequences or pinch every penny and delay spending the money, and one may not see the future to fully benefit from it.  That is why a comprehensive approach that includes the most important areas of one's life—personal, business, and family is so critical.Today's guest is going to introduce his concept of the three cords and how when interwoven, they can strengthen one another, creating a foundation for a life completely aligned with one's most important goals. Rocco A.

Most leaders today understand the value of their company, products, or services appearing front and center on internet search engines. However, too many organizations pursue flawed strategies and waste a lot of money trying to position their companies at the top of these search engines. Traditionally, marketing teams and strategists will seek out the keywords for their offerings, and then deploy a content strategy filled with these words to boost their web listings. But as Google, Bing and other search engines incorporate more artificial intelligence and focus on driving a better user experience, organizations are finding that their old approaches just aren't as effective anymore.Eli is an SEO expert and consultant with more than a decade of experience driving successful SEO and growth programs for leading B2B and B2C companies.

To win at scale, you need more than great players – you need a team of great coaches. This Strategy Session episode is full of great advice and tactics for building that deep bench of mentors, each with a role to play. Working with great coaches is a skill that Alex Rodriguez learned in his first career in baseball, working with legendary skippers like Lou Piniella, and he's brought that skill to his work as an investor at A-Rod Corp., where he has struck up a firm friendship with none other than Warren Buffet. Answering questions from the two co-leads of HBS Class of 2021, Alex and Reid, along with special guests Katia Beauchamp of Birchbox and Mihir Desai of the HBS faculty, show you how to get the most out of mentorship – and how to make sure your mentors also get something out of the deal too.Read a transcript of this interview at: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter at http://eepurl.com/dlirtX

Gurmeet Singh, Puneet Krishna & Mihir Desai with Hrishi K - Creators of Mirzapur by Hrishikesh Kannan

Societal problems like income inequality have emerged from a financial system that has taken a wrong turn, says Harvard finance professor Mihir Desai. “When finance goes awry, which I think it has, we all suffer. When finance is done well, it’s absolutely remarkable,” he says. Humanity needs to be re-infused into finance so that it’s led by personal stories rather than only value extraction. Desai, who wrote the book, The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return, sits down with John Dickerson, correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes.” The views and opinions of the podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Aspen Institute.

I love bringing the brightest minds in the world onto the podcast. Especially when they are experts in an area that most people are confused by. Which is why I thought it would be useful to interview a top world expert on finance. Now before you tune out and think, “This isn’t for me,” let me be honest. I don’t love studying finance either. Charts and graphs and jargon don’t do it for me. But there was something different about Harvard Professor Mihir Desai‘s new book that stuck out to me — it explained basic financial concepts through stories. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that “facts tell, but stories sell.” Stories are also great teachers, which is exactly why Mihir wanted to use the most interesting stories from history and fiction to break down the complexity of finance. Mihir has spent 18 years teaching the brightest students in the world finance. But he knows that if more people don’t understand the core concepts of how to wisely manage finances (and use them to leverage their opportunities), then finance is failing its purpose. I loved this discussion with the third Ivy League professor I talked to this week. Join me for round two of “Professor Week” for a fascinating explanation of finance in Episode 518. In This Episode, You Will Learn:The upside and downside of debt (4:50)How to determine how much to invest in your education (6:20)How stories from history and fiction can easily explain finance concepts (18:14)Why too many options can be a bad thing in finance (19:20)Why we had to re-think our beliefs about failure in finance (22:20)How to use the power of leverage wisely (24:32)Plus much more… Learn more about your ad choices.

Yesterday I took my kids to their swim meet. It was cool outside with a nice breeze blowing. I stood in the stands so I could watch my kids swim and record their times. In my down time, I was scrolling through Instagram and I came across a post by one of my business mentors who recommended 3 books, The Ultimate Blueprint for an Insanely Successful Business by Keith Cunningham, and How Finance Works and The Wisdom of Finance by Mihir Desai. I pulled out my Android phone and whipped up Google Keep so I could write these books down and read them later. But when I tried writing in my Google Keep note app, nothing happened. I tried pressing enter to go to a new line and it was like my on-screen keyboard wasn't working. I tried typing some letters … nothing appeared. I got frustrated. “Damn you Google!” I tried again, nothing. I thought of what could be the matter. Perhaps it was my phone. Damn Google phone. I restarted my phone and tried the app again. It still didn't work. I thought, “I guess it's time to buy a new phone.” And then it dawned on me. Google Keep has a character limit for notes, and I had reached the character limit for this particular note I was taking. Here I was, ready to throw my phone to the curb, when I was mistaken about the root of my problem. I was on a wild goose chase fixing something that wasn't broken. So here's today's parable – where in your architecture firm are you experiencing a symptom, and you haven't identified the root cause? For instance, maybe clients are complaining about the level of your fees. What does this mean? Does it mean that you're charging too much? Should you lower your fees to be more competitive? It could mean that you're in the wrong market – all the clients are cost focused. Or it could mean that you aren't explaining your value well. Or it could mean that you aren't doing enough activities to generate inquiries and interest in your firm. All of these are problems, but they all have different solutions. Do you see the problem here? If you blindly try to fix the symptom without correctly identifying the underlying problem, you're doomed to waste time and money. Let's take our previous example – say clients frequently question your fees or you get undercut by other firms. You assume that clients don't see the value of what you offer because your website isn't nice enough. So you spend $20k on a new website. But nothing changes. You still lose projects because you are “too expensive” even though you now have a sexy website. Accurately diagnosing the underlying cause of a symptom is key to growing in your business and personal life. So my question for you today is: where in your firm is something happening that you want to avoid, but you haven't identified the underlying root cause of this problem?

Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com made the ProShares Pet Care ETF ($PAWZ) his ETF of the Week, noting that the new, specialty niche fund is tapping into a growth industry that should be unaffected by the market and the economy.

Mihir Desai is a Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. […]

We don’t like Wall Street. Financial institutions are heavily stigmatized in today’s world. Movies like The Wolf of Wall Street and current events like the financial crisis of 2008 leave us distrusting the economic powers that run our world. While this may feel like the appropriate response, that distrust fuels ignorance, as we reject the institutions on principle and don’t try to find the deeper truth and connection behind them.

Mihir Desai is here to demystify and rehabilitate finance. He's an economics professor at both Harvard Business and Law School and author of The Wisdom of Finance where he uses uses stories from the George Orwell to Kanye West to explain concepts such as options, leverage, and herd behavior, then extrapolating them into broader life lessons. For example blindly following society's expectations is a form of the principal-agent problem. And how professionals love “collecting options,” but forget that for options to work, you need to take risks. We cover Wall Street's culture of fear, his "a-hole theory of finance," and the industry's lack of diversity. We talk more broadly about higher education's "crisis moment" and if credentialing is important in the face of technological innovation (such as cryptocurrencies and social), and why the "free-agent economy" is overhyped. + SHOW NOTES: http://bit.ly/MihirDesai + JOIN OUR NETWORKING WEBINAR: Networking doesn't have to be transactional or slimy - it can absolutely be achieved with kindness and generosity.

He warns the audience that the financial system is broken, and proposes a fix: change how investors and financial advisors view the financial world.

Mihir Desai, a professor of finance at Harvard Business School, breaks down the brand-new U.S. tax law. He says it will affect everything from how corporate assets are financed to how business are structured. He predicts many individuals will lower their tax burdens by setting themselves up as corporations. And he discusses how the law shifts U.S. tax policy toward a territorial system of corporate taxes, one that will affect multinationals and national competitiveness. Finally, Desai explains what he would have done differently with the $1.5 trillion the tax cut is projected to cost.

Mihir Desai is author of “The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return.” Mihir is currently the Mizuho Financial Group Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He wrote his new book with two goals in mind: 1. Demystifying finance and 2. Have people look at finance in a more inspirational way. After each financial bubble bursts, the public repeatedly retreats to stereotypical ideas of finance. Mihir doesn’t want to wait for a generational shift to take place for finance to be looked at in a positive light. Financial literacy has gone by the way side in schools. How do you get children to think about basic risk taking? How do you think about protecting yourself? How do you buy insurance? How do you pool your money as a family? He hopes his book may help change some views and enlighten. Mihir explains why diversification isn’t important just in the markets, it is important to diversify in all aspects of life. As an athlete you should workout all your muscles not just pinpoint one area. Or if you are looking at your health, you should look at all aspects of your health, not just what you are eating or how you are sleeping. Broaden your outlook and diversify your time and energy accordingly. What is Agency theory? If you give someone money to invest, why do you get the money back? Arguably this is the biggest problem in modern finance. 150 years ago most people were self employed. Nowadays we appoint people as our “agents”. We have a system where we give money to people we don’t know and expect them to take care of it. Michael and Mihir end the conversation talking about people finding their path and true happiness in life rather than doing what their parents or society has told them to do.

But this week, one maritime mission in the Indian Ocean helped a unique creature in need. The world of finance has a dark side, but that's only half the story 9:31 7/13/2017 You could say that the field of finance has an image problem, with both fictional and real-life figures projecting greed and other less-than-likeable attributes. That's why Mihir Desai has written a book, "The Wisdom of Finance," to balance the picture an JUDY WOODRUFF: After months of legal and political wrangling, President Trump's executive order banning entry into the U.S. from six Muslim-majority countries goes into effect tonight. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court gave a partial green light to get started, ordering those with what it called bona fide family or business ties to the U.S. be granted entry. Last night, the Trump administration laid out which connections count. And joining us to discuss these guidelines is Yeganeh Torbati. She covers the State Department for Reuters.

Mihir Desai, professor at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, argues for re-humanizing finance. He says the practice of finance, with increasing quantification, has lost touch with its foundations. But he says finance can be principled, ethical, even life-affirming. And demonizing it or ignoring it means that the rest of us – those not in finance – risk misunderstanding it, which has all kinds of implications for how we make decisions and plan for our futures. Desai is the author of the new book, "The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return." He also writes about finance and the economy for hbr.org.

Most people know Apple as one of the richest and most successful companies in the world, but it wasn’t always that way. In 1997, the company suffered a near-death experience that caused it to completely reimagine itself. The result was a new line of products and a totally unique financial model that has since led to unprecedented success.
