In this episode, Dr Rob Kaplan delves into the extraordinary yet often overlooked life of Mary Barkas, a pioneering New Zealand psychiatrist who defied societal norms and gender barriers in the early 20th century. She became the first female doctor at the historic Bethlem Hospital and one of the four medical officers appointed at the opening of the Maudsley Hospital.Despite her groundbreaking achievements Barkas faced immense challenges, from entrenched prejudice in her professional field to personal disillusionment. Dr Kaplan examines her profound contributions to psychiatry, her struggles with the limitations placed on women in medicine and the mysterious turn her life took when she returned to New Zealand, never to practice again. Dr Robert M.

Our podcast started a few years ago with the aspirations of having local CFA charterholders share their unique journey. After a few episodes, we realized the high level of interest and impact with hearing about the challenges, proudest moments, and inspirations along the way. No longer am are we searching for the hot topic of conversation, rather the individual who teaches and motivates you to carve out your own path of greatness. Today, we are grateful to spend time with the one and only Rob Kaplan, who just rejoined Goldman Sachs as a Parter and Vice Chairman after previously serving as the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas from 2015 to 2021. He represented the Eleventh Federal Reserve District on the Federal Open Market Committee in the formulation of US monetary policy and oversaw its 1,300 employees. Rob was previously the Martin Marshall Professor of Management Practice and a Senior Associate Dean at Harvard Business School. Prior to joining Harvard, he was Vice Chairman of the Goldman Sachs Group with global responsibility for the firm's investment banking and investment management divisions. He serves as Chairman of Project A.L.S. and Co-Chairman of the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, is a board member of Harvard Medical School, St. Mark's School of Texas and is a member of the Advisory Council of the George W. Bush Institute. Previously he served as Chairman of the Investment Advisory Committee at Google and a trustee of the Ford Foundation. Proudly born and raised in Prairie Village, Kansas, Rob received a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Kansas and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School. He has authored three books, including one our host, Paul Olschwanger recently finished, titled What You Really Need to Lead: The Power of Thinking and Acting Like an Owner. On today's episode, you would think we am going to ask Rob for his views on the economy or fed policy. Not so much, you can easily google Rob Kaplan and these topics. You are, however, in for a treat as we are going to talk more about his professional journey, life leading the Fed, proudest moments, and potential topics for his next book. 

Like a lighthouse surveying the waters for signs of distress, investors are challenged to shield their portfolios from potential turmoil in financial markets. But uncovering risks before they reveal themselves is a monumental task—even for the most savvy investors. Fault lines lurking in the banking sector came into view in the aftermath of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse. As a consequence of the pivot from years of ultra-low rates to the sudden tightening of monetary policy, investors must be on the lookout for new cracks that may form. In the first installment of a two-part episode, we take a closer look at the fallout from the bank crisis and where other risks could arise. Rob Kaplan, former President of the Dallas Fed, and George Patterson, Chief Investment Officer of PGIM Quantitative Solutions, discuss lessons learned from banking turmoil, the difficult path ahead for central banks, and where investors can find longer-term opportunities amid an uncertain environment.

The economy has undergone a massive transformation in a short period of time. Global lockdowns and the policy response to the pandemic have rippled through labor markets and supply chains, while war in Europe has added fuel to inflation's surge. As the economy continues to evolve, what investment opportunities lie ahead? How will recent trends in technology, energy and business play out? Rob Kaplan and Adam Tooze join PGIM Fixed Income's Ellen Gaske to analyze how the global economy is changing and consider what the future might hold for investors.

In a desperate effort to escape the collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Jean and her co-workers knew that there was no other option to survive. At this moment, Jean's story of survival began, and her husband's, too. Serving as a New York City firefighter, Jean's husband, Dan, was a first responder to the scene. Anguished by the fate of his wife, but with a duty to serve his city, Dan was determined to fight for not only his life, but all those that he could during the 9/11 attacks. Against all odds, Jean and Dan survived and now live to share their incredible story of survival both during and after the terrorist attacks. Helped told by Rob Kaplan, By the Grace of God is Jean's story about the traumatic events of that day and the extraordinary effect it had on both of their lives-having to cope with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder; moving because they could no longer live in a home haunted by three thousand ghosts; giving up their jobs and leaving the city they had grown to love. - www.authorhouse.com******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewpaper.com

What a week! Following the prior two outstanding COBT guests this week, we end the week with our great friend and an inspiring leader,  Rob Kaplan. Most recently, Rob served as the President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas from 2015 to 2021. Prior to the Fed, Rob served as Senior Associate Dean and Martin Marshall Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School, and before that he had an extensive Goldman Sachs career that included serving as Vice Chairman and Global Head of Investment Banking. With the current intense focus on inflation, the markets, green-flation, and deglobalization, we were eager to hear Rob's perspective. In our discussion with Rob, we ask tough questions on where the Fed finds itself now, steps they might take to handle inflation, factors that led to our current state including the energy transition and climate decisions, the psychology of inflation and how we might end the cycle, government debt, and more. We also touch on Rob's transitions throughout his career and his takeaways from his expansive experience working with private businesses, non-profits, government agencies, and academics. We likely tried to bite off more than we could chew in one hour and know it will take much more to solve the inflation bubble. It was our honor to host Rob and we sincerely thank him for his time. Mike Bradley started the show discussing notable headlines including the UK's windfall tax on energy companies and the likelihood that prices at the pump will continue to rise over summer.  Colin Fenton prepped us for our meaty discussion with Rob with extensive background on inflation rates, central bank liabilities, and if you are a long-time COBT fan you will be glad to hear he also updated us on the US average price for potato chips. Our country is certainly in a tough spot, for several reasons, and it was a great reminder from Rob that it will do us all a great service to put our heads down, chip away, and listen to each other. As always, thank you for your support and friendship!

The economy is in uncharted territory in more ways that one right now. Coming out of the worst of the pandemic, we're seeing a rapid pace of GDP growth, along with elevated inflation readings the likes of which we haven't seen in years. Beyond that, policymakers have engaged in historically aggressive fiscal and monetary expansion. The Fed, in particular, is almost a year into a new framework (unveiled last August at Jackson Hole) that aims to avoid certain mistakes of the past. So we sat down with Rob Kaplan, who has been the President of the Dallas Fed since 2015, to get his assessment of the situation right now.

Welcome back to The Securities Compliance Podcast! On today’s show, we officially launch the Lessons From the Front Lines series. Much like our regular shows, this series will provide the same excellent content to help you put Compliance In Context™, but will deliver that content in a more narrative form—like a fireside conversation with an industry pro. In this way, the Lessons From the Front Lines series will provide you with practical advice and takeaways that focus on real-life, tough lessons other compliance professionals and regulators have learned on the front lines of our industry. To help guide us through today's conversation, we welcome in Rob Kaplan and Bruce Karpati. In sharing their experiences as former Co-Chiefs of the Asset Management Unit, Bruce and Rob discuss the role of SEC Enforcement and its impact on the industry. Topics: What is the role of the Division of Enforcement in the industry, and how does the SEC send a strong message in enforcement cases? Review the concept of “regulation through enforcement” Were there consistent failures or compliance violations in the cases you saw in the Asset Management Unit? Discussion of how negotiations that occur in an enforcement case can result in unintended consequences affecting the industry Analyzing the lines between clearly violative activity and “minor” violations Identifying the top one or two lessons learned from each of these cases and the biggest takeaways for compliance Quotes: “The good public policy way...is when an enforcement matter comes out and it says you cannot do X, right. You cannot have loans to affiliates that are not properly documented because we don't like that. It's when next time somebody comes to the chief compliance officer and says, hey, we're thinking about making this loan to affiliates that they say you know what “[t]here's this enforcement case that says you can't do that,” or the CEO has been waiting or other compliance professional or the GC has been waiting for a case to come out on point to be able to arm them in discussions with the business side to help set the standards.” “If you’re sitting on the compliance side and you read one of these summaries of these orders and you’re still confused as to what you actually have to do, that’s a real problem.” “That to me is the risk: Is that you don’t take something small seriously. You have disclosures that ignore it, it snowballs, and then you have a pattern and practice as it goes on, that you could have really avoided and you don’t know how to get yourself clean.” Resources: Compliance in Context

The Circulate Capital Ocean Fund is the world’s first investment fund dedicated to address Asia’s plastic crisis. With 60 percent of ocean plastic originating from the region, Asia is the biggest source of plastic leakage into global oceans. We find out more with Rob Kaplan, Founder & CEO at Circulate Capital.

“I’ve never seen this kind of political and public sector engagement in an environmental topic happen so fast,” said Rob Kaplan, the Founder and CEO of Circulate Capital in an interview with Ambassador David Balton following a recent Wilson Center event on reducing marine plastic pollution. Interest in reducing ocean plastics has gone from a blip on the radar at ocean conferences to “now becoming a top priority,” said Kaplan. After working on sustainability initiatives in the private sector for roughly a decade, Kaplan transitioned to researching strategies to reduce ocean plastics. Eventually, he founded Circulate Capital, an investment management firm with two goals. “First, we want to invest in companies that prevent plastic pollution,” he said. These companies “collect, sort, process, and even manufacture using plastic waste that would ultimately otherwise end up in the environment.” The company also helps a variety of investors, in both the public and private sectors, allocate more capital to reduce marine plastic pollution. Public-Private Partnership Circulate Capital has already attracted more than $100 million in corporate investment from PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Danone, and Dow. However, when it comes to making loans to recycling companies in regions of the world that are the largest producers of plastic pollution, Kaplan realized that the private sector could do only so much alone. “We’re working in really tricky geographies, where nobody has done this before, and that just equates to financial risk,” he said. To absorb some of the risk and create a bigger impact together, Circulate Capital and USAID launched a new partnership. For every loan made to a recycling company in an emerging market, USAID provides a credit guarantee, thereby reducing the risk for corporate investors. Galvanizing Political Will The interest in fighting ocean plastics is growing both in the United States and internationally. Even in this immensely polarized time, the issue has bipartisan support on Capitol Hill, Kaplan noted. The Save Our Seas Act was one of the few pieces of bipartisan legislation passed by Congress last year, let alone passed unanimously. “The political will is there,” Kaplan said. “There is nobody really for plastic waste. It hasn’t become politicized.” At the Wilson Center event, Senator Whitehouse (D- RI) said that he and Senator Sullivan (R-AK) are working together on an even larger bill to protect the ocean. Private sector companies are trying to be part of the solution, said Kaplan. “I think most companies agree that they don’t want their packaging ending up in the environment,” he said. “They don’t want animals eating it. They don’t want it polluting people’s waterways and their livelihoods on the ground in the communities where they’d like to do business.” When asked what was next for the partnership, Kaplan said that his company plans to invest $100 million in companies in the next three or four years, demonstrate proof of concept, and attract more capital. Ultimately, he said, much more must be invested to combat ocean plastic pollution. “We need many billions of dollars deployed into this space as quickly as possible,” he said.

It's something you can point to to show that I'm engaged on this issue, I'm trying to be a thought leader and it means you'll show up in Google and things like that. You won't know what doors will open. So I would encourage people to generate content. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? So I'm most excited about the emergence of venture capital and entrepreneurs in this space. We're seeing it in so many different areas. So one is oceans. Rob Kaplan, he just left Closed Loop Partners to start Circular Capital, which is going to invest in companies, innovations and projects that prevent marine plastic waste originating in Asia. This is really important that he started this because 60 percent of the plastic leaking into the ocean originates in just five countries - China, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. So he's going to make these strategic investments and we're going to see what interventions can scale and hopefully lead to other investors coming in too. Also in oceans there's the Sustainable Ocean Alliances new Ocean Solutions Accelerator. So Sustainable Ocean Alliance actually started a couple of years ago by a student at Georgetown. The alliance is going to catalyze solutions in a number of ways including this accelerator. The initial cohort of five companies includes a couple, one is a power company which is developing a next generation converter to harness energy from the ocean. And then others like Loliware. I first saw this on Shark Tank. They create seaweed based straws and cups that dissolve in about two months if you throw it away, or you could just eat it. I'm really excited to get my hands on that. Also in venture capital they have culture space, experiencing a digital revolution. Investors raised more money for ag tech startups in 2017 than the previous two years combined. There's the Urban Drinking Water Challenge 2018, where there's like a million dollars there to deploy and invest scalable water solutions for tomorrow's mega cities. And then lastly, Nexgen Cup challenge. Starbucks and Mcdonald's working together, inviting entrepreneurs to develop materials and design so they can replace today's cups. Big deal, because combined Starbucks and McDonald's distribute four percent of the world's 600 billion cups each year, so they can make a real impact. What is one book you would recommend sustainability leaders read? You got a lawyer on the show, so I am recommending Getting to Yes, which is more negotiation book than anything really sustainability oriented. It gives you really good negotiation tactics, and so many sustainability professionals, a lot of what we do is working with stakeholders, trying to get people to agree on things and work together. The key with this book is try not to think of things as win or lose. You want to get each person's interest out and then see if there's an option where everyone wins. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in the work that you do? I really like the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. It helps you put things in perspective. You can put in this tool a hundred metric tons of CO2 or methane, any greenhouse gas, and then it quickly calculates the equivalent in metrics that people can understand. Think number of homes of electricity use per year, passenger vehicles driven for one year. So it's more helpful to say "22 cars driving for one year were taken off the road from this program," than just, "We avoided a hundred metric tons of CO2." Something we really focus on in our podcasts when we're doing an introduction to the topic we're talking about is, "How can we say this in a different way that people get the context?" You and I were talking earlier about how there's so many freaking numbers out there. It's hard to keep track. Well, if you put it in a way that's more in a context that people can understand, they're more likely to remember it. The other resource is daily newsletters. Corporate ECO Forum has a weekly briefing. Greenbiz has great newsletters and they actually just launched one called Circular Weekly, focused on circular economy. More generally, I can't recommend enough The Weekend Briefing from Kyle Westaway. He has really good social technology articles, so sign up for those. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work that you're leading at the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation? I post articles to my Twitter @Scottybreen. I also post what I'm doing professionally on LinkedIn. The best ways to keep up to date on what's going on at the Corporate Citizenship Center is to sign up for the newsletters. So with the CCC, go to USChamberFoundation.org. For the podcast www.sustainabilitydefined.com.

Rob Kaplan, an attorney in Richmond, VA, is co-author of this book, focusing on the new opportunities created by the Jobs Act of 2012. While the most high profile aspect of this law is "Crowd Funding" there are aspects of this law that opened channels of opportunity for entrepreners, investors and investment companies in ways impossible under previous law and regulations.  Rob was instrumental in working with legislators to understand and craft legislation that would create such opportunities.  Listen to this interview to better understand these new opportunities and why they are expected to change the landscape and methods of how many investments are offered to the public.
