Annie Duke is a renown public speaker and decision strategist. For two decades, she was one of the top poker players in the world, including winning a World Series of Poker bracelet and the $2 million winner-take-all WSOP Tournament of Champions. Her study of the science of smart decision-making began with a National Science Foundation Fellowship, which she used study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Among her charity work and television appearances, Annie was a runner-up to Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, during which she raised $700,000 for Refugees International. She is a natural teacher and storyteller with an active mind that constantly searches for accurate truth. I highly recommend Annie’s new book, Thinking in Bets, which comes out this week. In her life after poker, she is a featured speaker, writes a newsletter and a blog, and advises companies on improving their decision-making process. Have a look at her website, annieduke.com, for more information. Our conversation discusses Annie’s path from an Ivy League education to professional poker, the nature of a bet, how we form beliefs, why we make bad decisions, and what we can do to improve our decision-making process. Towards the end, we also talk about bankroll management, poker faces, and advice she would give the President on how to make better decisions.

Michael Mauboussin currently is the Director of Research at BlueMountain Capital, a multi-billion dollar hedge fund and asset manager. He spent the majority of his professional career thinking and writing about decision making, behavior and complex systems, with long stints at Credit Suisse and nearly a decade alongside Bill Miller at Legg Mason. Michael has been an Adjust Professor at Columbia Business School for 24 years. Our conversation covers Michael’s early career, the paradox of skill, academic research more favorable to active management, decision-making, optimal size and composition of teams, unsettling features in the market, data analysis in sports, career risk, the Santa Fe Institute, and Michael’s new research on the horizon. Every time I speak to Michael I come away thinking better and feeling smarter, and this time was no exception.

Scott Malpass is the esteemed Vice President and CIO of Notre Dame, where he oversees the University’s $12 billion endowment. Scott earned his B.A. and M.B.A. degrees at Notre Dame, and returned to South Bend at the ripe age of 26 following a brief stint on Wall Street. His track record for almost 30 years, as defined by both performance and impact, place him indisputably in rare company at the very top of the field. Among his many accolades, Scott received Institutional Investor’s Endowment Manager of the Year award, NACUBO’s Rodney H. Adams Award, and CIO Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He has taught students at Notre Dame since 1995 and among other directorships and advisory councils, he serves on the Boards of the Vatican Bank, Vanguard, and TIFF, and previously served on the Investment Advisory Committee for Major League Baseball. In 2014, Scott became part of the founding group for Catholic Investment Services, Inc., a not-for-profit offering top tier investment solutions to Catholic organizations nationally. Our conversation is a full-blown master class on endowment management, including the benefits of a long tenured team, asset allocation frameworks, passive management, preparing for dislocations, the state of venture capital, sourcing, monitoring and exiting managers, incremental process improvements, professional and personal development, and education and alignment across constituencies. It’s hard not to be in awe of Scott’s combination of humility, experience, and success.

Tom Russo is the Managing Member of Gardner Russo & Gardner, where he manages $11 billion in a long only, global value strategy. Tom buys the stock of global consumer businesses with great brands and holds them for a really long time. He looks for businesses with a capacity to reinvest free cash flow and a capacity to suffer through short-term pain in order to achieve long-term gain. Tom started his investment career at the Sequoia Fund in New York, where he worked from 1984 to 1988. His first partnership, Semper Vic Partners, has compounded at 14.6% per year for 33 years, besting the S&P 500 by 3.6% per annum. Tom is a graduate of Dartmouth College (B.A., 1977), and Stanford Business and Law Schools (JD/MBA, 1984).

Our conversation covers how Tom created an investment strategy by personalizing early lessons from Warren Buffett, the capacity to re-invest, the capacity to suffer, and what it takes to own a stock for decades. Tom’s time horizon and fortitude as an investor parallels those of institutions with permanent capital.

On his way home, Scott discusses his "location" as well as the importance of writing it out.
A few months ago I sat down to be interviewed by Luna Love, the host of Ladies Who Lead Podcast. I had a great time sharing with her about my personal story of how I came to do the work I am doing today. I talked with Luna about growing up in New York, what inspired me to take a leap to move to California after college, become a yoga teacher, travel to India and eventually start my own business. In the episode I also share my "4 Keys to Feminine Leadership" and the women who have inspired me most over recent years. "When you share your fear, it starts to lose its charge." Here's what else you'll find in this episode: My personal process of how I execute my creative ideas How I let go of "distractions" of alcohol, sugar, and busy-ness in my life to listen to my body's wisdom and needs How I moved from a fear of self-expression and being seen to becoming a yoga teacher and entrepreneur My dark night of the soul - how I knew I reached my breaking point where I needed to make a big shift in my life How I discovered yoga and met my first spiritual teacher, Amma If I feel fear, but even just a little bit of excitement, I know that's a good sign for me to walk closer to it..." How I handle my inner critic voice and limiting beliefs Practices to listen to your body wisdom, face your fears, and create layers of support in your life The story of what happened when I shared my first song on the harmonium How I call upon a higher power to manifest my desires The women who have inspired me the most in business and life A sneak preview of details about the book I've been writing for the last year about my travels in India Did you enjoy this episode?

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES I'm back with a new podcast episode this week with Becca Piastrelli of The Dabblist. I was first introduced to Becca at a women's retreat in Sonoma, and soon after attended one of her Sisterhood Soiree events. I was immediately drawn to her sense of humor and genuine love, care, and encouragement for the women around her. In this episode Becca shares how she listened to her inner calling to rediscover her feminine nature as well as start a successful online business supporting women to reconnect to creativity and sisterhood. We also share about the shadow side of sisterhood and leadership, how to handle comparison in a world of growing women’s entrepreneurship and how to create structures of support in your life to rise above your biggest challenges. "Sisterhood is the field to freedom." ~ Becca Piastrelli In this episode we discuss: The power of sisterhood and personal stories of how sisterhood supported us to take bigger leaps in our lives How Becca developed the courage to leave a comfortable corporate job in San Francisco to start her business, The Dabblist An easy trick to help cultivate more female friendships in your life What a "Passion Project" is and how to start one How Becca handles one of the biggest barriers to sisterhood - jealousy and comparison How to pick yourself up after receiving a negative response to your work How to push through "compare and despair" to stay focused on what you are truly called to do Links in this episode: TheDabblist.com The Dabblist Collective Becca Piastrelli Coaching Becca Piastrelli is an online entrepreneur who is part Artemis, part Athena. Her Artemis comes out in her work on TheDabblist.com where she holds space for women to awaken their creativity, stop chasing perfect, and work with their hands again in a space of creative sisterhood. Her Athena comes out in her work with bloggers and online business owners, helping them authentically market and build their tribes online. A nature devotée and lover of plant wisdom, Becca likes to dabble in deeper understanding of the moon and it works its magic both within the feminine body and out in the world. You can find her extrovert-ing with fellow creative women while drinking entirely too much coffee and likely making overly animated facial expressions. Enjoy this Podcast?

Welcome to the Rising Women Leaders podcast! “If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.” ~ Victoria Moran It's time to celebrate all we are and all we came to do. I see an awakening in women all around me, especially in the sweet, kind and nurturing ones who are ready to stand up, express themselves and share their voice. But, I know from personal experience a lot can get in the way when we step up to lead. I myself struggled with sharing my voice as a more timid and sensitive being. However, the world needs more women connected to their soft sensitive nature who are willing to be vulnerable to step up and accurately represent the needs of our world. I believe you do not need to change who you are to lead, you just need to be supported to face your fears and listen to your intuition to make a bigger impact. So...I have created my first PODCAST series for Rising Women Leaders. I will be sharing insights on how to step into courage, self-love, and leadership while staying true to our feminine nature. I'll also be interviewing leaders and entrepreneurs about how they've faced their fears, created magic in their lives and grown their businesses. The first episode is now live! SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES In the first episode, Fearless Feminine Confidence, I share: My personal story: how I overcame my fears of public speaking to become a teacher and a leader. Why I created Rising Women Leaders and what my vision for this sisterhood. My top tips on how to tap into fearless and feminine energy to be a leader, teacher and entrepreneur.
