Cet épisode s'inscrit dans une série de rencontres avec des patrons de sociétés du CAC 40.Sur GDIY nous recevons habituellement uniquement des personnes qui se sont lancées par elles-mêmes : des entrepreneurs, artistes, sportifs…Avec cette série, j'ai pour ambition de découvrir et comprendre comment s'opèrent de tels mastodontes depuis l'intérieur, sur du temps long. Au-delà des éléments de langage, au-delà de la politique, au-delà des clichés.Le Crédit Agricole est “de loin” la première banque de financement de l'économie Française avec plus de 25% de parts de marché.Une domination dont Phillipe Brassac est le garant depuis près d'une décennie.Arrivé en 1982 à la caisse régionale du Gard, il a gravi les échelons jusqu'à arriver au sommet du groupe. 43 ans de maison, dont 10 en tant que directeur général, et un chiffre d'affaires multiplié par 3 pendant son mandat.En 10 ans, Philippe a amené le Crédit Agricole à des performances historiques, le portant au rang de 9ème plus grande banque au monde.Dans cet épisode Philippe démystifie le monde de la banque, et dévoile comment étape par étape et avec de très fortes convictions, il a opéré ce développement sans céder aux sirènes de la croissance externe — qu'il va jusqu'à juger dangereuse.Un épisode pragmatique et passionnant, qui livre les clés pour comprendre comment faire bouger les lignes à grande échelle et explique les rouages du système bancaire Français et international.Une masterclass de vision avec l'homme qui, jusqu'en mai 2025, fut à la tête du premier employeur privé de France.TIMELINE:00:14:25 : La plus grosse coopérative du monde avec 10 millions d'adhérents00:21:46 : La complexité du système bancaire expliquée00:29:41 : Opter pour une “universalité stratégique” : la banque qui fait tout, pour tous00:41:24 : Le rôle central du conseiller bancaire00:56:17 : Les batailles perdues face aux néo-banques01:06:31 : Casser la technocratie et la bureaucratie01:18:21 : Comment réellement influencer une entreprise de 160 000 collaborateurs01:31:07 : Croissance externe VS croissance interne01:40:06 : Le modèle bancaire Français, une exception internationale01:52:18 : Laisser la régulation aux politiques pour maintenir le navire à flot02:01:01 : La digitalisation du monde bancaire02:09:03 : Les 3 grands chocs qui bousculent tous les repères02:23:56 : “J'avais prévu un bitcoin entre 0 et 1€”02:31:17 : Se concentrer sur l'utilité de son entreprise et non sur ses chiffres02:41:49 : Partir serein après 42 années de dévouementLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #460 - Sébastien Bazin - PDG du groupe Accor - Diriger un groupe coté en bourse sans ordinateur#467 - Christel Heydemann - Orange - Garder le cap pour réussir dans un marché en rupture permanente#117 - Riadh Alimi - CEO FinFrog - Réussir l'impossible : être recommandé par les clients que tu refuses#54 - Alexandre Prot - CEO Qonto - De McKinsey à QONTO (en passant par les cigarettes électroniques)#456 - Alexandre Prot - Qonto - Bousculer l'écosystème bancaire et s'imposer en référence européenne#289 - Cyril Chiche - Lydia - Du paiement entre amis à la super-app financière#265 - Maud Caillaux - Green Got - Lancer une néobanque étape par étape pour verdir le secteur bancaire (à 27 ans)#401 - Emmanuel Macron - Président de la République - Les décisions les plus lourdes se prennent seulNous avons parlé de :Acquisition du Crédit Lyonnais entre 2002 et 2005Xavier MuscaJérôme GrivetL'identité coopérative et mutualiste du Crédit AgricoleWealth management = Gestion de patrimoineLa Martingale PodcastQu'est-ce que le selfcare en relation client ?BFI = Banque de Financement et d'InvestissementFoncière GecinaOlivier Gavalda, successeur de Philippe à la tête de Crédit Agricole SAStatista, courbe d'évolution du chiffre d'affaires du Crédit AgricoleDéfinition Asset Servicing“Mon véritable adversaire, c'est le monde de la finance” - François HollandeEpisode Acquired PorscheÉpisode Acquired RolexLes recommandations de lecture :The Black Swan - Nassim Nicholas Taleb (English)Le Cygne noir - Nassim Nicholas Taleb (en Français)Skin in The Game - Nassim Nicholas Taleb (English)Skin in The Game - Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Français)Le Château de ma mère - Marcel PagnolVous pouvez contacter Philippe sur LinkedIn.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Distribué par Audiomeans.

“Los primeros textos escritos de los que se tiene constancia son apuntes contables. Los primeros textos de la humanidad son sobre algo tan prosaico como una lista de ganado y de equipamiento agrícola encontrado en la ciudad de Uruk. Recogían las deudas de personas con otras personas y de personas con el complejo del templo. La escritura tardaría más de mil años en utilizarse para la narrativa.” Daniel acaba de publicar un libro sobre la historia del dinero y su fantástico vínculo con la escritura.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠Indexa Capital⁠.

Lessons from reading ⁠Skin in the Game⁠ by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (1960 - present).Skin in the Game argues that many of the world's problems spring from decision-makers unwilling to bear the risks of their ideas. Taleb argues that having skin in the game is necessary in life, commerce, and politics.Nassim Taleb is a scholar, former options trader, statistician, and risk analyst. Taleb is known for his work on probabilities, randomness, and risk.Ways to Support:Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ijmakan.substack.com/subscribe?=⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://becomingantifragile.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Art: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ikranrinmakan.com/⁠⁠Purchase:USA: https://amzn.to/4jAem6O

Chris tears apart the tariff narrative with Nassim Nicholas Taleb's San Francisco Fed data. For every $100 of Chinese-made goods sold in the U.S., China takes just $12, while the U.S. pockets $88 via design, shipping, and retail. With 150% tariffs slashing demand 50%, Markowski argues it's us, not China, losing big—$44 vs. their $6. He calls out gaslighting on job losses, blaming U.S. money printing and regulations, not China, for rising costs. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Fredrik talks to Barry O’Reilly about software architecture. Barry has spent a lot of time and energy connecting software architecture to actual code and development work, and finding good ways of actually training new generations of software architects. Architecture is a level above programming, it is a different skill, and it needs to be properly taught so that more people can think and make active decisions about it. Oh, and architecture happens at a group level. You can’t really do it alone. Barry’s quest led him to complexity science, a PhD to actually prove his ideas hold up, and two books. The idea that you have to understand what goes on in the code in order to do good architecture is more controversial than one might think. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Don't use mouthwash.   Why?   It's not Lindy.   At least that's what Paul Skallas, a Chicago-born technology lawyer who goes by Lindyman online, says. I was fascinated to read a New York Times profile of him titled "The Lindy Way of Living," and knew I wanted to have him on 3 Books.   In the 2012 book 'Antifragile,' the statistician and scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb coined "the Lindy Effect." He wrote, "For the perishable, every additional day in life translates to a shorter additional life expectancy, kind of like me and you and the cheese and our fridge, or the milk and our fridge. But for the non-perishable, every additional day may imply a longer life expectancy." The Lindy Effect says that the longer something has been around, the longer it will stay around.   Paul took this heuristic and with his unique and perceptive insights along with his deep reading of ancient history came to apply it to a broad range of things, including health. He doesn't use mouthwash, a relatively new invention that kills good *and* bad bacteria. But floss—poking stuff out of your teeth—has been around for thousands of years, so that can stay.   This Lindy heuristic is a useful way to navigate our noisy modern world. As reality destabilizes with spiking AI and a fracturing media landscape we can learn and apply long-range lessons from the past to help us today. I love the unique, provocative, and often challenging 'The Lindy Newsletter,' which Lindyman publishes 2-3x weekly, to help us apply the framework to topics as diverse as urban planning, dating, medical trends, drinking trends, and even whether we should listen to health influencers.   Lindyman gave me 3 very interesting and formative books. We talk about them along with the unintended consequences of the woke movement, why you should eat vegan once a week, how modern employment is destroying families, and much more. If you like to have your brain stretched like taffy and provoked by unusual thoughts this is the chapter for you.   Let's flip the page to chapter 145 now.

Hoe blijf je kalm in een wereld die steeds onrustiger lijkt te worden? In zijn boek Kalmte onderzoekt Andor de Rooy hoe leiders – en iedereen die verantwoordelijkheid draagt – rust kunnen bewaren en betere beslissingen kunnen nemen. In deze aflevering van De Boekenpraktijk spreekt hij met Willem van Leeuwen over moedig leiderschap, reflectie en het belang van naar binnen kijken. De Rooy: 'Als je mij had gevraagd in de eerste minuut hoe ik mijn boek zou samenvatten: ‘Heb de moed naar binnen.''Volgens De Rooy zoeken veel leiders oplossingen buiten zichzelf, terwijl juist zelfreflectie de sleutel is. Hij benadrukt dat onopgeloste vraagstukken sluimerend aanwezig blijven en de kalmte ondermijnen: 'We stoppen sluimerende vraagstukken liever weg, maar het zijn juist die onderliggende dingen die onze kalmte ondermijnen. Dat vraagt bijna altijd om de moed om naar binnen te kijken.'Daarnaast gaat De Rooy in op leiderschap en het nemen van verantwoordelijkheid. Hij wijst op de spanning tussen controle en loslaten, en hoe leiders kunnen leren omgaan met de onzekerheden die bij hun rol horen. Luisteren dus.StellingenElke aflevering van de podcast legt host Willem van Leeuwen de gast een aantal stellingen voor. De stellingen voor Andor de Rooy zijn:1. De meeste mensen gaan het nemen van verantwoordelijkheid en dus risico uit de weg, wat eigenlijk leidt tot nog meer risico omdat de strijd en spanning alleen maar toenemen.2. Het skin-in-the-game-principe zou veel meer onderdeel moeten zijn van de beoordelingssystemen binnen onze organisaties.LinksDe boeken van Andor de Rooy bestel je bij Managementboek: https://www.managementboek.nl/auteur/35990Zijn boekentip is Antifragiel van Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Ook dat vind je bij ons: https://www.managementboek.nl/boek/9789057125171/antifragiel-nassim-nicholas-talebOverIn de Boekenpraktijk, de podcast van Managementboek, praat Willem van Leeuwen met auteurs van nieuw verschenen boeken over de brede thema's ontwikkeling en verandering: van persoonlijke ontwikkeling en verandering tot op het niveau van een gehele organisatie.

This time we discuss Nassim Nicholas Taleb's article "IQ is Largely a Pseudoscientific Swindle" -- a title whose compliment is that he's claiming IQ is a bit scientifically valid. But which bits does he claim are valid? We use this article as a springboard to consider: Do the numbers produced by an IQ test say something meaningful or useful about human minds? Would these tests be better off in the dustbin of history? Are they ever useful? And is there overlap between Taleb's take on IQ and the negative view of these tests held by many critical rationalists? What does Taleb agree (or disagree) with CritRats over when it comes to IQ? Taleb's original article found here.

Antifrágil: Floresça em Meio ao Caos O conceito de "antifragilidade", cunhado por Nassim Nicholas Taleb no livro Antifrágil: Coisas que se Beneficiam do Caos, descreve sistemas, pessoas ou organizações que não apenas resistem a adversidades, mas que prosperam em meio às incertezas, desordem e desafios. Ser antifrágil é mais do que ser resiliente ou robusto; é crescer e evoluir com o impacto. Resiliência: Resiste ao caos, mas permanece inalterada. Robustez: Aguenta choques, mas não melhora com eles. Antifragilidade: Aprende, se adapta e se fortalece a partir das dificuldades. A antifragilidade vai além da sobrevivência – é a capacidade de transformar crises em oportunidades de evolução. Adaptabilidade: Mudanças são encaradas como chances de inovação. Diversidade: Recursos e estratégias múltiplas ajudam a lidar com o inesperado. Capacidade de Aprender: Cada erro ou falha contribui para o crescimento contínuo. Redundância Estratégica: Mantém recursos e tempo extras para enfrentar crises. Gestão de Emoções: Enfrentar adversidades emocionais e aprender a lidar melhor com situações difíceis. Saúde Física: Exercícios físicos estressam o corpo, mas o fortalecem com o tempo. Startups: Adaptação rápida a novos cenários é essencial para sobreviver e crescer. Empresas Antifrágeis: Organizações que diversificam produtos e se adaptam às mudanças do mercado prosperam mais facilmente. Sistemas Biológicos: A evolução das espécies acontece justamente por meio de pressões e adversidades. Crescimento em tempos de crise. Maior confiança para enfrentar o desconhecido. Capacidade de criar valor em situações adversas. Redução do medo e da paralisia frente às incertezas. Encare o caos como parte natural da vida. Planeje para o incerto e esteja aberto a mudanças. Envolva-se diretamente nas consequências de suas decisões. Isso gera aprendizado real e fortalecimento. Teste ideias de forma ágil. Pequenos erros custam menos e trazem grandes aprendizados. Evite colocar todos os recursos em uma única abordagem. Mantenha alternativas disponíveis. Tenha sempre uma margem de segurança – seja financeira, emocional ou de tempo. Veja desafios como oportunidades de aprender e desenvolver novas habilidades. Com um mundo cada vez mais incerto, a antifragilidade tornou-se uma habilidade essencial. Seja diante de crises globais, mudanças no mercado de trabalho ou desafios pessoais, aqueles que adotam uma postura antifrágil não apenas sobrevivem, mas encontram novas formas de prosperar. Ser antifrágil é mais do que uma estratégia; é um estilo de vida. É a coragem de abraçar o caos e a incerteza, confiando que cada desafio contém uma oportunidade escondida. Como uma árvore que cresce mais forte após uma tempestade, você também pode florescer em meio ao caos. 1. O que é Antifragilidade?2. Características de um Sistema Antifrágil3.

Todos los que alcanzaron la mayoría de edad en el siglo XX fueron inculcados en los deberes y obligaciones del ciudadano.

«Existe un grupo de empleados que no son esclavos, aunque representan un pequeño porcentaje. Puede identificarlos de la siguiente manera: no se preocupan por su reputación, al menos no por su reputación dentro de la empresa. Recuerdo que me preguntaron por qué no llevaba corbata. ‘Una parte arrogancia, una parte estética, una parte conveniencia' era mi respuesta habitual. Si generaba ingresos podía decirles a mis gerentes lo que pensaba, sabiendo que tragarían, temerosos de perder sus empleos. Quienes corren riesgos pueden ser personas socialmente impredecibles. La libertad siempre se asocia con el riesgo, bien sea porque conduzca o provenga de ella. Corriendo riesgos te sientes parte de la historia. Y los apostadores asumen riesgos porque, en su naturaleza, son animales salvajes». Nassim Taleb en Jugarse la piel. Me gustaría anunciar un proyecto personal: ⁠El proyecto K⁠.

What does leadership look like in a decentralized future? Whether we're talking about different generations of warfare or how it appears to be shifting before our very eyes, the target is no longer just a government or its military, but the very people. In this episode, we trace through a series of books, arguments, and ideas to get a picture of what leadership looks like and what things it must hold in tension with one another to succeed. Books Mentioned: Brave New War by John RobbWhy Young Men by Jamil JivaniExtreme Ownership by Jocko WillinkSkin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas TalebLeadership and Emotional Sabotage by Joe RigneyThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

First on today's show, Ralph welcomes author, statistician, and professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb to discuss the wars in Gaza and Lebanon and give us his take on the election results. Then, Ralph and journalist Ryan Grim speak about President-Elect Trump's cabinet appointments and what we can expect from the upcoming Trump Administration. Finally, we're joined by constitutional law expert Bruce Fein for a post-election Donald Trump legal roundup.  Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent twenty-one years as a derivatives trader before changing careers to become a scholar, mathematical researcher and philosophical essayist. Mr. Taleb's works focus on mathematical, philosophical, and practical problems with risk and probability, as well as on the properties of systems that can handle disorder.  He is the author of many essays and books about risk and uncertainty including the New York Times bestselling The Black Swan and his latest Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life.The supporters of Israel are getting smaller in relative economic and financial size—and of course, in technological size as well. So it's getting smaller while at the same time, Israel relies more and more on their support. So that's not a robust situation. In other words, the strategy of Israel being continuously confrontational has led to more and more confrontation, and the strategy of relying on the West is not going to pay off.Nassim Nicholas TalibIsrael has been behaving like a child with a strong personality and been capable of winning concessions from her or his parents continuously. So that's what has been happening. But the problem is— not finding any resistance, they kept going, they kept going, and one day they realized that, ah, they went too far but it was too late. So you can rely on AIPAC to do a bunch of things, but at some point, the strategy is not going to work.Nassim Nicholas TalibRyan Grim is co-founder of Drop Site News, host of the podcast Deconstructed, and co-host of the show Counter Points. He was previously D.C. Bureau Chief for The Intercept and the Washington bureau chief for HuffPost, and he has been a staff reporter for Politico and the Washington City Paper. He is the author of the books This Is Your Country on Drugs, We've Got People, and The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution.[The incoming administration of Trump and his Trumpsters] are very aggressive. They think they're above the law. They are greedy. They want to turn the U .S. government into a honeypot for their commercial paymasters—which include their own businesses, by the way, like Elon Musk. And when that happens—when you have greed and almost total power with the Supreme Court on your side, with the Congress under Republican control—you're inevitably going to get serious examples of corruption. You're inevitably going to get blatant corruption. Ralph NaderSo far, to a lot of people's great disappointment, Democrats have been pretty terrible at [going after corruption]. So on the one hand, they angered the entire support base for Donald Trump and whipped them up into a frenzy accusing Democrats of prosecuting their enemies, while at the same time not actually prosecuting them for any corruption…Now, because the Trump movement has been able to argue to its base that it feels persecuted, they are probably going to spend a significant amount of their energy going after those who they see as their persecutors. Ryan GrimTime is one of [Donald Trump's] restraints and incompetence is another. He's up against those two elements—and in-fighting. There are a number of competing factions for his attention and for his agenda and they are going to relentlessly work to undermine each other. So that factor will restrain him. Ryan GrimBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law.  Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.I do think there's a remedy here, and that is I think that any of the decisions made by the people who are appointed through illegal or unconstitutional recess appointments, when they take any action, you wouldn't have to comply with their actions. You can say the decisions, their orders are null and void because they weren't appointed properly.Bruce Fein Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 18: Black Swans and Fat Tails.LEARNING: Never treat the unlikely as impossible. Diversify your portfolio to withstand black swans. “If you build a portfolio that can withstand the black swans and is highly diversified, then psychological or economic events won't force you to sell.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 18: Black Swans and Fat Tails.Chapter 18: Black Swans and Fat TailsIn this chapter, Larry explains the importance of never treating the unlikely as impossible and ensuring your plan includes the near certainty that black swan events will appear. Thus, your plan should consider their risks and how to address them.Understanding the risk of fat tailsIn terms of investing, Larry says, fat tails are distributions in which very low and high values are more frequent than a normal distribution predicts. In a normal distribution, the tails to the extreme left and extreme right of the mean become smaller, ultimately reaching zero occurrences.However, the historical evidence on stock returns is that they demonstrate occurrences of low and high values that are far greater than theoretically expected by a normal distribution. Thus, understanding the risk of fat tails is essential to developing an appropriate asset allocation and investment plan. Unfortunately, Larry notes, many investors fail to account for the risks of fat tails.History of the black swansWith the publication of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's 2001 book Fooled by Randomness, the term black swan became part of the investment vernacular—virtually synonymous with the term fat tail. In his second book, The Black Swan, published in 2007, Taleb called a black swan an event with three attributes:It is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility.It carries an extreme impact.Despite its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.Taleb went on further to show that stock returns have big fat tails. Their distribution of returns is not normally distributed, and fat tails mean that what people think are unlikely events are much more likely to occur than people believe will.To illustrate this, Larry uses an example: if you take stock returns, and in the last 100 years, you cut out one best month per year, which is 1% of the...

“The wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire.” ~Taleb (2014) In this episode, I'm talking about Antifragility, a concept even more powerful than resiliency and grit. It's about overcoming. Harnessing the wind and being the fire that is energized. As Nietzsche (and Kanye) have said…that that don't kill me…can only make me stronger…” Antifragility, resilience, and grit are valuable tools in combating gender inequity so we can transcend and thrive. Despite the barriers that create an unlevel playing field for far too many talented, highly qualified women, it is possible that WE can have the last word in the end if we adopt an antifragility mindset. #tunein to harness your emotional intelligence superpowers!  #antifragility #grit #resilience #transcend #thrive Reference The 4Ps Advancement Model™ https://advancingwomenpodcast.com/4ps-advancement-model-problem-patterns-process-proficiency/ Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2014) Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder.

Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. #onekindmoment #practicalspirituality #uncertainty Yesterday by John Hobart - Music Design by Jason Inc. https://brucewaynemclellan.com/    

Abraham Lincoln once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. So why do well-known risk managements models fail to predict major events? Is it possible to know when and where the next crisis will come from? And how can we be better prepared? In this episode of 2050 Investors, host Kokou Agbo-Bloua explores the theory of Black Swans, created by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and its relevance to sustainability, climate change, and financial markets.Delving into the world of the unexpected, he draws parallels between the dramatic twists and turns of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" and the unpredictability of life and finance, to investigate how sudden, unforeseen events—Black Swans—impact markets and our globalized world. Kokou explains how these rare events, like the 2008 financial crisis and the recent COVID-19 pandemic, reshape financial landscapes.In the context of climate change, these black swans are rebranded as ‘Green Swans', symbolizing the increasing frequency and severity of climate events such as floods, heat waves, and wildfires. Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua as he assesses the impact of these Green Swans on our ability to manage risks and how they pose significant challenges for our economies and sustainability efforts. Kokou also emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations of traditional risk management models and adapt in a rapidly changing world.Lastly, he explores how the principles of antifragility, another term coined by Taleb, can help systems benefit from external stressors, making them more resilient in the face of volatility and uncertainty.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors, your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an exploration of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050's challenging global sustainability targets.In each episode, Kokou deep-dives into the events impacting the economy, financial markets, the planet, and society.

Who could have believed it? On a cold, wet night in Westminster, Rishi Sunak stunned the nation with an unexpected announcement: a General Election for July 4th. Today's podcast couldn't be more timely as we dive into an in-depth analysis of the UK's political and economic landscape over the past 14 years. From the impacts of austerity and Brexit to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cover it all.Joined by Dr. Nicola Headlam, an expert in subnational economic policy development, we dissect the mismanagement of these crises, the deterioration of public services, and the widening inequality gap. This episode is essential listening for anyone invested in the UK's political and economic future. Our conversation critiques current government policies, highlighting the urgent need for a robust plan to tackle economic inequality, recapitalise the poor, and fundamentally shift the country's economic strategies. We advocate for a future government that prioritises progress over power and implements policies that genuinely benefit the population, countering the systemic challenges of years of poor governance.Timestamps:00:00 Opening Remarks00:21 Insights on UK's Economic Challenges00:45 The Banking Crisis and Long-term Effects05:03 Sunak's Leadership and Political Landscape06:39 The Impact of Austerity, Brexit, and COVID08:49 The Dire State of Public Services13:07 Economic Policies and Time for Change18:33 The Role of Local Government and Community in Recovery33:08 Addressing Inequality and the Future of UK34:42 Butler to the World: A Detailed List of Heterodox Economic Thinkers & Books for a Path Forward38:40 Reimagining UK's Economic and Social Policies53:50 Closing ThoughtsEnjoyed the podcast?

With a wealth of experience as a market theoretician and a prolific contributor to financial discourse, today's guest is uniquely positioned to guide us through the complexities of index fund dynamics. Joining us to discuss the problems that passive investing may be causing in financial markets (and what people should do about it) is Michael Green, Chief Strategist and Portfolio Manager for Simplify Asset Management. Tuning in, you'll learn about the ramifications of the surging popularity of indexing and the sobering reality of mounting market inelasticity, backed by compelling evidence that underscores the challenges facing today's financial landscape. The insights in this episode extend beyond mere observation, with Mike offering policy recommendations and strategies to address the structural issues affecting our markets. While this conversation is certainly challenging, philosophical, and even alarming, it isn't purely theoretical. It's a call to action to safeguard the integrity of our financial systems. So, be sure to join us as we navigate the nuances of indexing and passive investing at large, guided by the expertise and foresight of one of finance's most respected voices!   Key Points From This Episode:   (0:05:48) The negative effect that the growth of indexing is having on financial markets. (0:07:37) Insight into the XIV trade that strengthened Mike's belief in this view. (0:13:49) Defining the problem that indexing is causing (which might seem like a good thing). (0:15:57) How market cap-weighted index funds differ from closet index funds. (0:16:57) Indications that markets are becoming increasingly inelastic over time. (0:19:21) Why flows into cap-weighted index funds differ from the overall aggregate of active. (0:24:21) Active versus passive investing in public versus non-public markets. (0:25:57) The catastrophic event that could be caused by index funds (and how to avoid it). (0:30:51) Why we need to rethink the definition of passive investing and the value of diversity. (0:36:10) Market inelasticity versus inefficiency and the impact of active manager performance. (0:41:38) How investors should shift their strategy to respond to the current market structure. (0:53:01) Regulatory recommendations: who actually needs to step up and do something. (0:54:30) Mike's outlook on US expected returns, market volatility, and 401(k)s. (1:01:50) Why Bitcoin isn't the solution to all of our monetary and fiscal policy problems. (1:05:22) The definition of success in Mike's life (and why it's completely non-financial).

The GRE General Test may be the world's most widely used admissions test for graduate & professional school, which makes the assessment important to anyone considering graduate, business, or law school. Amy and Mike invited educator Vince Kotchian to share details on what to know about the GRE in 2024. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What does the GRE test and how has it changed over the years? What should students, tutors, and counselors know about the shorter GRE? What should test takers know about the computer-based format of the GRE? What kinds of programs accept the GRE? When should students prepare for and take the GRE? MEET OUR GUEST Vince Kotchian grew up in small-town Connecticut and completed the honors program at Boston College, graduating with a B.A. in English Literature. He moved to San Diego in 2007 and has been working full-time as a test-prep tutor ever since. Vince has scored a perfect 170 in verbal (twice) and a 167 in quant on the GRE. He is the founder of both Vince Kotchian Test Prep and GRE Verbal Precision. Over the years, Vince has written some test-prep books and courses, but still enjoys GRE tutoring: “When a student texts me that she aced the test or got into her reach program, I still literally jump up and down and grin.”  In his spare time, Vince likes traveling using miles and points (Japan is his favorite country to visit), reading (favorite authors include Haruki Murakami, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Philip Pullman), watching The Great British Bake-Off (and sometimes actually baking things), hiking and camping, and rooting for the Red Sox and Patriots. Vince previously appeared on this podcast in episode # 197 to discuss All About The GRE and in episode # 209 in a TEST PREP PROFILE. Find Vince at Vince Kotchian Test Prep.

Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters by Brian Klaas https://amzn.to/4b9ff2e Want to know what chaos theory can teach us about human events? In the perspective-altering tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan comes a provocative challenge to how we think our world works—and why small, chance events can divert our lives and change everything, by social scientist and Atlantic writer Brian Klaas. If you could rewind your life to the very beginning and then press play, would everything turn out the same? Or could making an accidental phone call or missing an exit off the highway change not just your life, but history itself? And would you remain blind to the radically different possible world you unknowingly left behind? In Fluke, myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives—and our societies—could be radically different. Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events. How did one couple's vacation cause 100,000 people to die? Does our decision to hit the snooze button in the morning radically alter the trajectory of our lives? And has the evolution of humans been inevitable, or are we simply the product of a series of freak accidents? Drawing on social science, chaos theory, history, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Klaas provides a brilliantly fresh look at why things happen—all while providing mind-bending lessons on how we can live smarter, be happier, and lead more fulfilling lives. About The Author: Brian Klaas grew up in Minnesota, earned his DPhil at Oxford, and is now a professor of global politics at University College London. He is a contributing writer for The Atlantic, host of the award-winning Power Corrupts podcast, and frequent guest on national television. Klaas has conducted field research across the globe and advised major politicians and organizations including NATO and the European Union.

In this mini podcast episode of Speak Up with Laura Camacho, the host, Laura, focuses on the executive theme of being articulate. The episode is concise, lasting less than 20 minutes, and is part of a series where Laura delves into specific topics without conducting interviews. 80% of what we do, probably it's more like 99%, is communication and it needs to be effective. Even with intimidating audiences. You must be able to get your point across and persuade other people and be likable. ( I know that's controversial for some of you but it's true.) And people have to know you, trust you, and like you, and this mini-episode lays it all out for you. She defines what it means to be articulate, and goes on to share her five steps to becoming more articulate. The five steps, all starting with the letter 'S,' are as follows:

Nassim Nicholas Taleb popularized a theory in his book "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable," published in 2007. In the context of the theory, a "black swan" refers to an event that is highly improbable, has a major impact, and is often explained in hindsight as if it were predictable.GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode of the Secular Buddhism Podcast, Noah delves into the concept of emotional equanimity, likening it to the tale of monk Sona who learned to maintain a balanced approach to life's challenges, akin to finely tuning a musical instrument. Drawing from the Mangala Sutta and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Anti-Fragile," the episode emphasizes the value of antifragility, where challenges can enhance our emotional resilience, much like an astronaut needing physical stress to prevent muscle atrophy in space. Noah offers five tips for practicing emotional equanimity and underscores that true growth arises from facing, not avoiding, life's storms. Hosted on Acast.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) spent 21 years as a risk-taker (quantitative trader) before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability.Taleb is the author of a multivolume essay, the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, Antifragile, The Bed of Procrustes, and Skin in the Game), covering broad facets of uncertainty. His work has been published into 49 languages.In addition to his trader life, Taleb has also written, as a backup of the Incerto, more than 70 technical and scholarly papers in mathematical statistics, genetics, quantitative finance, statistical physics, medicine, philosophy, ethics, economics, and international affairs around the notion of risk and probability (grouped in the Technical Incerto).Taleb is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering (retired). His current focus is on the properties of systems that can handle disorder ("antifragile").*Scott Patterson (@pattersonscott) is an investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal, currently based in Washington DC, working on climate and energy policy. His new book is Chaos Kings: How Wall Street Traders Make Billions in the New Age of Crisis, a profile of the rise of “black-swan traders,” such as Nassim Taleb and Mark Spitznagel, as well as a survey of the many perils the world faces today—and how we might fix them.Scott has covered everything from Berkshire Hathaway to stock exchanges to high-speed traders to the financial regulators. His first book, The Quants, describes the rise of mathematical finance and delves into its role in the 2008 financial blowup. Dark Pools, his second book, tells how computer traders took control of the U.S. stock market, starting from the birth of computer trading in the 1980s to the explosion of high-frequency trading in the late 2000s.*This episode is brought to you by LinkedIn Jobs.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 561 What motivates you to work on your dreams? In this episode, Codie Sanchez, founder + CEO of Contrarian Thinking, joins Josh Trent to explain why money is freedom, why you need to think for yourself, how creating a villain in your life can push you forward, what it takes to be a contrarian, what steps you can take to achieve financial freedom, and what makes successful people different from others. "If you look at the amount of people that capitalism has pulled out of poverty, as measured by countries that have actually instituted it as opposed to taken it away, the numbers don't lie. There are huge issues with it but it is the only one that we can categorically say continues to lift people out of poverty. I think what we actually need to do, we need to export more people into ownership." - Codie Sanchez Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

Codie's advice on equity deals.   Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Skin in The Game "A lot of humans are acting without skin in the game because they don't have equity, upside in their job, or don't own any assets. They don't have things to lose so that becomes the tragedy of the commons which is when everybody's responsible for somebody and nobody takes care of it." - Codie Sanchez Put On an Armor "In order for us to succeed through life, we need to put on armor. And the armor in my case is often the exact opposite of what people think it is. It's a reminder of all the things that I've been able to overcome over the years. When difficult things happen to you, if you can alter them, you can really move forward in a way that nothing really hurts anymore." - Codie Sanchez Contrarian Thinking "If you were to go out to a group of 100 people and ask them: "Do you think that you think well?" The answer of most people would be "Of course, yes." And that's why we're crazy on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram because we don't actually question our ability to frame our own individual thoughts which is a huge mistake. The smartest, richest, happiest people I know question everything, including themselves. They question most themselves." - Codie Sanchez Links From Today's Show  Codie Sanchez 555 Mike Dillard | Richer Every Day: How To WIN The War on Your Money + Mind Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens David Osborn Leela Quantum Infinity Bloc - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mimetic theory Anthony Pompliano: Millionaire Explains How To Get Rich During A Recession | Codie Sanchez BREATHE | Breath & Wellness: 21 Day Guided Program Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan + Benjamin Hardy Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Great Thinkers by The School of Life Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 20% off with the code “PODCAST20” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" HVMN Ketone-IQ - 20% off with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Codie Sanchez Codie Sanchez is the founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a critical thinking and financial media company with over 3 million subscribers and 100 million views a month.
