Podcast appearances and mentions of Sanford C Bernstein

Today we are thrilled to kick off the first COBT episode of 2025 with our good friend Rob West, Founder and Lead Analyst at Thunder Said Energy. Rob started Thunder Said in 2019 and provides unique, thought-provoking, and economic-driven insights into energy transition research and technologies. He is a long-time energy analyst and previously built and led the energy practice at Redburn and served at Sanford C. Bernstein and Partners Capital before launching Thunder Said. This episode marks Rob's fifth appearance on COBT; he most recently joined in January 2024 (episode linked here). We were delighted to connect with Rob to reflect on 2024 and explore what the future might hold for energy in 2025. Rob has now kicked us off in 2022, 2024 and 2025. This may be becoming a tradition! We covered a lot of territory in our conversation starting with Rob's musings on trying to define what energy transition actually means, how the world's current focus on avoiding catastrophe needs to be replaced with more aspirational visions of human progress, the role of policy, subsidies, and competitiveness, the need for energy abundance to support human development, and the risks of pursuing costly and ineffective strategies that fail to achieve their objectives. Rob shares his perspective on how energy affordability and economic competitiveness influence voter behavior and government policy shifts, how shifting geopolitical dynamics are shaping global energy strategies, the potential for AI to enable breakthroughs on everything from materials value chains to DAC, the geopolitical situation in Estonia, and the broader implications of Russian aggression. At one point Rob observes “the West is already at war, it just doesn't admit it because of the implications.” We discuss the importance of assigning real weight to geopolitical risks in energy forecasts and market strategies, Rob's “F-U” Recession Scenario where countries retreat from global trade and cooperation leading to disruptions in energy and other value chains, and Texas's continued role as a hub for energy innovation and growth. We ended by exploring the global bottleneck in moving energy from where it's created to where it's needed, growth opportunities in utilities and midstream, the increasing volatility in energy systems, the concept of the “third great energy transition” with semiconductor technologies, and much more. As mentioned, Rob's “Energy Transition: Classic Blunders” video from December 2024 is linked here. We can't thank Rob enough for sharing his time and thoughts with us today to kick off the year in style. Mike Bradley kicked us off by discussing the performance of bonds, commodities and equities since our last COBT on December 17th with Dr. Steven Koonin (episode linked here). He noted that the 10-year bond is currently yielding ~4.65% (up from ~4.4%) which is a Trump post-election high and a one-year high. The FED cut interest rates 25-basis points at their last FOMC Meeting, and bond trader consensus is now in the camp that there'll only be two additional interest rate cuts in 2025. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 has taken a bit of a breather (down ~1%) with the Energy (+2%) and Technology (+1%) sectors outperforming. On the crude oil market front, WTI oil price has rallied ~$4/bbl (to ~$74/bbl) and has pushed above its recent narrow trading range of $68-$71/bbl. Crude oil trader sentiment heading into 2025 continues to be mostly bearish, even though WTI time spreads having recently spiked, which could be signaling a tighter physical oil market. He further noted that Saudi seems to be getting more constructive on crude oil given that it raised its official selling price to Asia for the first time in three months. Global oil prices also seem

Ken is the founder of savethewest.com, a website dedicated to saving Western Civilization from itself. America is fighting a major international war, says the author. Yet, the country does not really know it. Moreover, the war is being waged on a multitude of distinct fronts—both internal and external. The United States is wholly unprepared to fight a unified battle. Threat analyst Kenneth Abramowitz carefully takes us through the first step—recognition. He then ushers readers into the bold realm of mounting a multifaceted defense that will save America as a Democracy with the capacity to continually improve and thrive.

Shocks, Crises, and False Alarms: How to Assess True Macroeconomic Risk by Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak, Paul Swartz https://amzn.to/3zruzcg An essential new guide to navigating macroeconomic risk. The shocks and crises of recent years - pandemic, recession, inflation, war - have forced executives and investors to recognize that the macroeconomy is now a risk to be actively managed. Yet unreliable forecasting, pervasive doomsaying, and whipsawing data severely hamper the task of decoding the landscape. Are disruptions transient and ephemeral—or permanent and structural? False alarms are costly traps, but so are true structural changes that go undetected. How can leaders avoid these macro traps to make better tactical and strategic decisions? In this perspective-shifting book, BCG Chief Economist Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak and Senior Economist Paul Swartz provide a fresh and accessible way to assess macroeconomic risk, and a corrective to prevailing thinking and practice. Casting doubt on conventional model-based thinking, they demonstrate a more powerful approach to building sound macroeconomic judgment. Using incisive analysis built upon frameworks, historical context, and structural narratives - what they call "economic eclecticism" - the book empowers readers with the durable skills to assess continuously evolving risks in the real economy, financial system, and the geopolitical arena. Moreover, the authors' richer and more nuanced approach reveals that the all too common narratives of economic collapse and decline are often false alarms, while the fundamental strengths of our current "era of tightness" become visible. With rational optimism rather than gloom, Shocks, Crises, and False Alarms speaks to the key financial and macroeconomic controversies that define our times - and provides a compass for navigating the macroeconomy. Rather than relying on blinking dashboards or flashy headlines, leaders can and should judge macroeconomic risks for themselves.About the author Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak is BCG's Global Chief Economist and a Managing Director & Partner in the firm's New York office. He is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, World Economic Forum Agenda, and other business publications. You can read Philipp's latest thinking in his Fortune column. Philipp was previously Chief Economist at Sanford C. Bernstein where he covered the economy and markets for institutional investors across the global asset management industry. Earlier in his career, he worked for the OECD and McKinsey & Company . Philipp studied at LSE and has a Ph.D from Oxford University.

Investing continues to change -- we talk about Ben Graham's lessons from one particular investment, and where the money is in this new era for investors. Any stocks mentioned today, as always, are no recommendations; they are case studies or illustrations — please do your own research and/or talk to an advisor, please. My guest today is Adam Seessel. He is an author and professional investor with experience as an investigative reporter — which comes in handy in investing. He graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth College and began his professional career as a newspaper reporter in North Carolina. In 1995, Seessel took his research skills to Wall Street. He worked for Sanford C. Bernstein, Baron Capital, and Davis Selected Advisers before starting his own firm, Gravity Capital Management, which manages money for high-net-worth individuals and institutions. In addition to running Gravity, Adam is a regular contributor for both Barron's and Fortune magazines. https://www.gravitypartners.com/ His book and this conversation made a big impact on me. I like the idea of getting a bargain deal when I shop for everything from shoes to stocks and beyond. Traditional value investing may be interpreted as static, the way Ben Graham bought cigar butt stocks, statistically cheap. Maybe we need a more dynamic view. Adam does an incredible job explaining the evolution of value investing and proposes a new perspective regarding the future. I know that Buffett changed and evolved as an investor; you'll see how Adam has, too; I have to admit that I'm the first to challenge my assumptions and see how I can continuously learn and adapt to the ever-changing world. Adam argues that money and investment opportunities might lie in the digital economy, and as long as investment principles remain the same, our methods might need to change. Adam is joining me from Manhattan, so don't be surprised if you hear some faint city sounds in the background, such as sirens and more. Please help me welcome Adam Seessel!

There are 38 kinds of secrets. The average person has 13 at any given moment. Michael Slepian explains how that can affect your health. We all have secrets. The average person has as many as 13 secrets at any given time. Usually, we hold secrets to protect something, such as our reputation or someone we care about. But this doesn't always protect what we hope to protect. Additionally, secrets can lead to loneliness and shame, which are particularly toxic to our health and wellbeing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Michael Slepian: Michael Slepian is the Sanford C.

33% of people cheat, and 77% of people want to know about their partner's infidelity. Would you tell your partner? Michael Slepian, an expert on secrecy, explains how. About one-third of people have committed infidelity at some point in their lives. If you're one of them, should you confess it to your romantic partner? One way to answer the question is to consider whether you would want to know if your partner had cheated on you: Surveys show that 77% of people would want to know, but that still leaves about a quarter of us who'd prefer ignorance. It's also worth questioning your own motives: Maybe you only want to get the secret off your chest to make yourself feel better. It's a difficult dilemma with no one-size-fits-all solution. But fortunately, as psychologist Michael Slepian explained to Big Think, recent research has been revealing insights on the nature of secrets, what happens when we harbor them, and how and when we should consider getting them off our chest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Michael Slepian: Michael Slepian is the Sanford C.

Columbia professor Michael Slepian collected thousands of secrets. They all had 3 things in common. How many secrets are you holding right now? If the answer is around 13, you're about average, according to research on the nature of secrets. Secrets aren't all bad. Some are rather trivial. But sometimes, keeping secrets can weigh us down and cause psychological distress. Michael Slepian, an associate professor at Columbia Business School, has spent years studying the nature of secrets, why we hold them, and which kinds of secrets people tend to deem the most serious. As Slepian explains in this Big Think video, his research has revealed that secrets can generally be sorted into three domains. Gaining a better understanding of your secrets can help you improve your well-being. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Michael Slepian: Michael Slepian is the Sanford C.

Pressure bursts pipes. Keeping a secret can do the same to your mind, explains Michael Slepian. Holding secrets can negatively impact your well-being. But how, exactly? For decades, psychological research suggested that people experience significant stress while hiding secrets from others during social interactions. But this explanation often doesn't feel right to people, notes Michael Slepian, an associate professor at Columbia Business School who has spent years studying the nature of secrets. Surveys suggest that it's actually pretty rare for people to find themselves in social situations where they have to actively conceal a secret they've never told anyone about. So, how are secrets harming us? In other words, the average experience of concealing a secret turns out to be an easy one. About Michael Slepian: Michael Slepian is the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.

For this week's session, we were thrilled to welcome back  Rob West. Rob is the lead analyst at his own firm, Thunder Said Energy. Rob had a career in research at Redburn and Sanford C. Bernstein before leaving to start Thunder Said in 2019 and first joined us for COBT on January 4, 2022. He has immersed himself in the technology details of the energy transition and brings a unique "how are we going to accomplish all of this" perspective to all of his analysis. Even though there are immense challenges, and we have dug ourselves in a hole in many ways, hang in there as you will hear Rob's optimism in particular towards the end of the discussion. Rob joined us today from his home in Tallinn, Estonia. In our conversation, we pull from Rob some thoughts on the Russia-Ukraine war and delve into the sentiment in Eastern Europe and the Baltics about Russia's aggression. Rob recently wrote a research piece entitled "Energy Shortage: Fear in a Handful of Dust?" At the heart of the paper is that the road to a better world, including a successful transformation of our energy system, goes through having energy "surplus" and not through energy "shortage." Quite the contrary, he points out the dangers of energy shortage in a number of areas including higher food prices, the negative climate effects of more wood use, diminished economic prosperity, reduced security, and the instability of democracies during periods like the one we are in. Rob reminds us of the serious bottlenecks to be solved, the second law of thermodynamics (and the implications for energy loss), that we need energy to build new energy systems, and the importance of innovation. In total, Rob points to ten key reasons why the world needs energy surplus, and why such surplus not only helps us achieve our environmental goals, but also helps us avoid a world that would ultimately be more dangerous and also more painful, especially for those who have less. To kick us off, Mike Bradley took a look back at what oil and gas prices looked like in January of 2022 when Rob last joined us and shared current bond, commodity, and equity performance. He noted that the last few days of energy equity volatility was predominately related to the direction OPEC might pursue at its December meeting and wrapped up his discussion by laying out both the failure and success coming out of COP 27. Colin Fenton noted the European Union has put a number on its proposed price cap for natural gas: €275 per MWh, as measured by the TTF month-ahead price in the Netherlands. The proposed cap would begin on January 1, 2023, last for one year, and activate only in the event of emergency conditions locally, as determined by the spread between spot prices in Europe and a basket of spot LNG prices from around the world. EU Member States would need to approve the proposal before it could take effect. Veriten's head of nuclear research and strategy, Brett Rampal, also joined the team today. As we pause and reflect about Thanksgiving, we want to wish you all the best and reiterate how grateful we are for your friendship. Be on the lookout for a special message on Thanksgiving Day!  Thank you again to Rob for joining and thanks to you all!

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we talk about something that every single one of us has, very few of us think or talk about, and it's something that can have a profound impact on our lives. So let's talk about Secrets with our guest, Michael Slepian. Michael Slepian is an Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at the legendary Columbia University. He's also a recipient of the Rising Star Award from the Association of psychological science. Michael is considered by many to be the leading expert on the Psychology of Secrets. He's got a brand-new best seller out called The Secret Life of Secrets, which we will get into this episode and much more. Michael Slepian on Secrets The conversation starts out on secrets, and how we all keep them. As to why we have secrets, Michael was asked if there were pros and cons in keeping secrets from people. “So the pros, you are protecting something, you might be protecting your reputation. And in your own mind, you might be protecting someone's feelings, you might be protecting a relationship with someone. Whatever you think is the outcome of people learning about this thing, you're preventing that.” – Michael Slepian But to keep a secret means you are essentially cutting yourself off from other people, so they couldn't share your burdens or provide emotional support if that is part of what you are keeping your secret from. “You're blocking yourself from the availability of getting help from others. You can't get their emotional support; you can't get their guidance and advice.” – Michael Slepian Why We Keep Secrets One reason that we keep secrets is that we often feel ashamed of those secret. In response, we bury it deep and isolate it from the public, so no one will know. But this process of isolation also keeps it from receiving any validation if the secret is something to be actually ashamed of, or something that one only thought would be unacceptable. “We'll feel isolated with those secrets, we'll feel inauthentic for keeping them and uncertain that we're doing the right thing. But all these negative feelings are tempered easily when we start talking to people and getting the help that we need.” – Michael Slepian Having Secrets is Natural Michael further explains that having secrets is normal, and that people tend to keep the same secrets. On his research that shows 38 common categories of secrets, an average person has 13 secrets that fall on that list, and 97% of people would have more than one secret that is in that list. “We all keep the same kinds of secrets. As isolating as a secret can feel, we all have similar ones. And so we're not alone in the secrets we have.” – Michael Slepian To hear more from Michael Slepian and the secret about Secrets, download and listen to this episode.

For the first time, there are more iPhones in use in the US than Android-based smartphones. Apple has overtaken Android devices to account for more than half of smartphones used in the US. And Amazon is lagging rival Flipkart in India on several important metrics, according to investment firm Sanford C. Bernstein. Notes: For the first time, there are more iPhones in use in the US than Android-based smartphones. Apple has overtaken Android devices to account for more than half of smartphones used in the US, Financial Times reported on September 2, citing data on the installed user base of iPhones from market researcher Counterpoint. The increased market share gives Apple an edge over Google as it pushes into sectors including finance and healthcare, according to the Times. “Over the past four years the flow has consistently been Android to iOS,” Jeff Fieldhack, Counterpoint's research director, told Financial Times. “This is a big milestone that we could see replicated in other affluent countries across the globe,” Fieldhack added. Amazon is lagging rival Flipkart in India on several important metrics and struggling to make inroads in smaller Indian cities and towns, according to a report by investment firm Sanford C. Bernstein, TechCrunch reported on September 2. Amazon's 2021 gross merchandise value in the country, where it has invested over $6.5 billion, stood between $18 billion and $20 billion, compared with Flipkart's $23 billion, the analysts said in a report on August 30 that was obtained by TechCrunch. India's ecommerce market is expected to double in size to more than $130 billion by 2025. Amazon has more than 85 percent of its customers from Tier 2/3 cities/towns, shopping India's largest selection across electronics, grocery, fashion and beauty, everyday essentials, and more, the e-commerce giant told TechCrunch in a statement. A large number of small businesses and local stores rely on it to go online, Amazon said. Around 50 percent of Amazon's one million sellers come from Tier 2/3 cities/towns, and more than 100,000 exporters sell to its customers worldwide. And the company is committed to digitising 10 million MSMEs, generating 2 million jobs and enabling $20 billion in cumulative exports by 2025, Amazon said, according to TechCrunch. After calling off its Artemis I launch attempt on September 3 when engineers could not overcome a hydrogen leak, the US space agency NASA has decided to not try again, for now, it said in a blog post. This was the second time NASA scrubbed the launch. The leak was detected in an interface between the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line and the Space Launch System rocket, developed by Boeing. Mission managers met and decided they will forego additional launch attempts in early September. Artemis is Nasa's attempt to return humans to Moon and then establish a sustainable presence there to prepare for missions to Mars.

With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act by the US Senate, the US is now on the cusp of implementing very aggressive drug pricing controls within Medicare. Richard Evans is the general manager of SSR Health, which he founded in 2009 to address the complexity of US drug pricing. Before founding SSR, Richard was a senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, and during his tenure, he was ranked first by both Institutional Investor and Bloomberg Markets and was also rated as one of the top 20 stock-pickers globally across all large-cap industries. Ironically, one of the most challenging questions to answer in US drug pricing is “How much does it cost?” Is it the cost of the drug out of pocket? Perhaps the cost to the insurer, to the PBM, to the hospital, or the total that finally ends up on the company balance sheet as revenue? To each of these value chain actors, the answer will be markedly different and Richard's knowledge of the interplay of their various competing interests is without peer. In this podcast, Richard explains the role of PBMs in market access and drug pricing, the perverse incentives that are baked into the US and EU systems, and how all of the actors are simply behaving logically within the odd construct of the current healthcare ecosystems. Often, these outcomes are not aligned to the best interests of patients at the point of sale. As well, we discuss the enormous revenue reductions that are likely to occur within the US biopharma ecosystem if the Inflation Reduction Act is signed into law in its current form, and the ominous implications this has for patients with unmet medical needs requiring cures.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all have our secrets. We keep some secrets from bosses, colleagues and clients, like the fact that we hope to retire early, change careers, or start a business. We keep other secrets from friends and family, like our income, net worth, spending habits and investing mistakes. Research from around the world shows that we tend to keep the same types of secrets – around 38 common varieties, including secrets about finances, ambitions, beliefs, habits, unpopular opinions, mental health, trauma, addiction, and drug use. These 38 common types of secrets fall into three categories: (1) moral secrets, which we fear will either cast judgment on us or will cause harm to another; (2) relational secrets, which we fear will harm our relationships; and (3) goal and ambition secrets, related to career, business and finances. In today's episode, Columbia University professor Dr. Michael Slepian discusses the secret life of secrets. Dr. Slepian is the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. Prior to that, he was a visiting scholar at Stanford University. His research focuses on the social costs of secrecy. What impact do secrets have on our lives and health? What are the hidden costs of keeping quiet? Are there certain things that are better left unsaid? What should we share, with whom, and when … especially when there are career, social and financial repercussions to revealing information? Dr. Slepian joins us today to share his insight. Enjoy!

Critic Robin Givhan, analyst Luca Solca, author Dana Thomas and Métier founder Melissa Morris discuss how luxury became a winners-take-all market and how growing consumer scrutiny is driving change. BoF is investigating how market disruption, new technology and increasing consumer scrutiny are driving transformative change in the $300 billion luxury goods market, in an exclusive new podcast series presented by Klarna. As the extraordinary events of 2020 — from the global pandemic, lockdowns and economic downturns to the accelerating climate crisis and social justice movements — impacted the luxury industry, scale-driven advantages widened the performance gap between the industry's super winners and the rest of the market. In 2020, BoF reported that 75 percent of companies did not generate enough economic profit to cover the cost of their capital. Yet, the leading mega brands and conglomerates reported record sales. However, a growing dissonance is emerging between luxury's traditional values of scarcity and exclusivity, and the emergence of a more inclusive, egalitarian and sustainable global consumer culture, making the luxury industry vulnerable to shifting consumer sentiment. Today, businesses must respond to growing consumer scrutiny around the sociological and ecological impact of how they operate and what they produce. To discover what this means for the future of the luxury goods industry, BoF assembled four global authorities to share their insights. Robin Givhan is senior critic-at-large at The Washington Post, writing on race, politics and the arts. She was the first fashion writer to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2006. Givhan's work has also appeared in New York Magazine and the New Yorker, among other publications. “So much of luxury is about being perceived as part of the ‘in' crowd, which underscores this idea that it's not for everyone. When that's the way that you run a business and the culture starts shifting around you — saying that everything should be open to everyone — then it runs contrary to your business practice.” Luca Solca is an investment research analyst and managing director of luxury goods at Sanford C. Bernstein. Formerly a partner of the Boston Consulting Group, Solca has more than 25 years' experience in luxury goods and is a regular BoF contributor. “The number of fronts that luxury goods brands need to manage has continued to explode. The digital revolution has brought so many new things that brands need to invest in. You have brands that make more than €10 billion of revenue per year and invest mid-to-high single digits in communication. That creates a huge amount of fire power. Bigger brands clearly have a scale advantage.” Melissa Morris is the founder and designer of Métier, an independent leather maison best known for its logo-free handbags, travel bags and accessories. Prior to launching Métier in 2017, Morris studied sculpture and business at Emory University before working for Armani, Helmut Lang and Belstaff. “The pace of the industry is getting faster and faster, it's impossible to keep up. And it's impossible to create products that are as perfect as they need to be in the luxury world. From my experience working in luxury brands, you're constantly chasing from a development and production perspective, but also from a design perspective. You can't have the time to properly think things through. That then erodes quality, which is vital.” Dana Thomas is the author of “Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes” and the New York Times bestseller “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Lustre.” Thomas is an award-winning journalist covering fashion and culture, she is a regular contributor to The New York Times' Style section and Vogue. “I don't think it's greenwashing. They actually believe what they say, but to do it is another thing. It's a long-term investment and these companies, because they're so wedded to their quarterly returns and their stock market prices, they're afraid to make those long-term investments.

Critic Robin Givhan, analyst Luca Solca, author Dana Thomas and Métier founder Melissa Morris discuss how luxury became a winners-take-all market and how growing consumer scrutiny is driving change. BoF is investigating how market disruption, new technology and increasing consumer scrutiny are driving transformative change in the $300 billion luxury goods market, in an exclusive new podcast series presented by Klarna. As the extraordinary events of 2020 — from the global pandemic, lockdowns and economic downturns to the accelerating climate crisis and social justice movements — impacted the luxury industry, scale-driven advantages widened the performance gap between the industry's super winners and the rest of the market. In 2020, BoF reported that 75 percent of companies did not generate enough economic profit to cover the cost of their capital. Yet, the leading mega brands and conglomerates reported record sales. However, a growing dissonance is emerging between luxury's traditional values of scarcity and exclusivity, and the emergence of a more inclusive, egalitarian and sustainable global consumer culture, making the luxury industry vulnerable to shifting consumer sentiment. Today, businesses must respond to growing consumer scrutiny around the sociological and ecological impact of how they operate and what they produce. To discover what this means for the future of the luxury goods industry, BoF assembled four global authorities to share their insights. Robin Givhan is senior critic-at-large at The Washington Post, writing on race, politics and the arts. She was the first fashion writer to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2006. Givhan's work has also appeared in New York Magazine and the New Yorker, among other publications. “So much of luxury is about being perceived as part of the ‘in' crowd, which underscores this idea that it's not for everyone. When that's the way that you run a business and the culture starts shifting around you — saying that everything should be open to everyone — then it runs contrary to your business practice.” Luca Solca is an investment research analyst and managing director of luxury goods at Sanford C. Bernstein. Formerly a partner of the Boston Consulting Group, Solca has more than 25 years' experience in luxury goods and is a regular BoF contributor. “The number of fronts that luxury goods brands need to manage has continued to explode. The digital revolution has brought so many new things that brands need to invest in. You have brands that make more than €10 billion of revenue per year and invest mid-to-high single digits in communication. That creates a huge amount of fire power. Bigger brands clearly have a scale advantage.” Melissa Morris is the founder and designer of Métier, an independent leather maison best known for its logo-free handbags, travel bags and accessories. Prior to launching Métier in 2017, Morris studied sculpture and business at Emory University before working for Armani, Helmut Lang and Belstaff. “The pace of the industry is getting faster and faster, it's impossible to keep up. And it's impossible to create products that are as perfect as they need to be in the luxury world. From my experience working in luxury brands, you're constantly chasing from a development and production perspective, but also from a design perspective. You can't have the time to properly think things through. That then erodes quality, which is vital.” Dana Thomas is the author of “Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes” and the New York Times bestseller “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Lustre.” Thomas is an award-winning journalist covering fashion and culture, she is a regular contributor to The New York Times' Style section and Vogue. “I don't think it's greenwashing. They actually believe what they say, but to do it is another thing. It's a long-term investment and these companies, because they're so wedded to their quarterly returns and their stock market prices, they're afraid to make those long-term investments. It takes a lot of courage and you have to take it on the chin initially in order to make it pay off in the long term.” Follow the series to ensure you never miss an episode and discover actionable insights into the opportunities and challenges a redefined industry will bring and how luxury's transformation will impact your business.

This episode is all about secrets.  Did you know that there are 38 categories of secrets—and statistically, according to Michael Slepian, you probably have about 13 of them right now? Slepian is the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. He studies the psychology of secrets — and how keeping secrets affects our social life and work life, particularly as it pertains to trust and motivation. In this conversation we dive into common misunderstandings about secrets, the hardest part about having secrets, the toll secrets take (both physically and psychologically), how other people can help us handle our secrets in a healthier way, and the impact of societal systems and structures on our secret keeping. (One thing to note: There are brief references to abuse and other traumatic events that some people keep secret.)

Intel says that a new version of its Xeon server chip line will be available in 2022, rather than by the end of this year. Intel's multiyear delays in introducing new technology have ceded leadership to competitors. Given the delays in the 10-nanometer manufacturing process and the delays in bringing its replacement online, Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon believes the latest announcement will cause further erosions in Intel's competitive positioning. On Tuesday, Intel's stock fell 1.27 percent, while AMD's stock rose 2.80 percent.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6. On today's episode I chat with Dr Peter Lynn, co author (Tod Jacobs) of the book "Not A partnership - Why We Keep Getting Marriage Wrong and How We Can Get It Right" Beyond being a typical collaboration between two authors or scholars, this book represents the culmination of more than fifteen years of work that Tod and Peter have done together in the area of marriage. The students of the institute they lead have provided a living laboratory for how to prepare for marriage, face and ultimately overcome its classic and idiosyncratic challenges. The pair's primary objective with their students as they head towards marriage is to help them focus both on developing a mature and idealistic vision of marriage as the primary vehicle to create wholeness, meaning, purpose and happiness in their lives, and on working to perfect the character issues that lie at the core of a successful spouse — giving, empathy, focus, staying power and a strong desire to help build the other. Their work combines practical and mystical Jewish wisdom with modern theory and techniques, and with experience accrued through years of real world implementation and practice. Their unique but differing backgrounds and accomplishments broaden the impact of their work and partnership still further.

Sallie Krawcheck, is the CEO and Co-Founder of Ellevest, a digital-first investment platform working to help close the gender wealth gap by “redefining investing for women.”Sallie’s professional mission is to help women reach their financial and professional goals… or as she says to get more money in the hands of women. She’s definitely on her way as Ellevest recently announced they have $1Bn under management. Before launching Ellevest in 2016, Sallie was one of the highest-ranked women ever to have worked on Wall Street: She was the CEO of Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, US Trust, the Citi Private Bank, and Sanford C. Bernstein. She was also CFO for Citigroup. Prior to that, Sallie was a top-ranked research analyst covering the securities industry.Sallie is widely recognized as one of the most influential women in business. She has been recognized by Inc. as a "Top Female Founder", called "The Last Honest Analyst" by Fortune magazine, and was named the seventh most powerful woman in the world by Forbes. We’ll chat with Sallie about her journey leaving her small hometown to high-powered positions in Wall Street, how she dealt with two public firings and the many career pivots that led her to start Ellevest. We'll also discuss why women need to talk more about money and start investing in order to close the gender wealth gap. In this episode, we’ll talk to Sallie about:* What Sallie’s childhood, growing up in a small town in the South, was like. [2:31]* Sallie’s experience of school, difficulties she faced, and how this made her resilient. [3:50]* The impact that being bullied had on Sallie’s will to succeed in life. [4:47]* How Sallie landed in investment banking after going to school for journalism. [5:41]* The shame and guilt Sallie felt around hating a career she thought she wanted. [8:05]* How Sallie carved out time to find out what she truly wanted to do with her life. [9:09]* Why a research analyst position was a catalytic moment in Sallie’s career. [11:10]* Dealing with rejection and the power of a growth mindset to keep pushing. [12:50]* Sallie’s take on why being a woman on Wall Street helped her in many ways. [14:15]* What happens when women are seen to be looking for power and attention. [15:42]* Sallie’s two public firings and the lessons she learned from both of them. [17:53]* How Sallie, whose identity was attached to her career, dealt with being fired. [21:10]* The realization that Sallie came to before she founded Ellevest. [22:30]* Women have been socialized into believing men are better at money. [26:28]* The stress that comes with running your own business and the loneliness you face. [27:42]* How Sallie led her team, many of whom have never been in a recession, through the pandemic. [29:05]* Sallie’s experience raising funds for Ellevest and why it differed from other startups. [33:49]* What Sallie wishes they had done differently in her company. [37:00]* The value of networking and why women need to do a better job of it. [38:06]* Some first steps women who have not invested can take to get started. [40:58]* If you feel nervous about investing, start small and watch what happens. [46:08]* Why Sallie does not like the idea that women have to strive for work-life balance. [47:03]* We need to normalize failures because striving to be perfect puts extra pressure on women. [52:39]* The reason that men are better at taking risks, according to Sallie. [54:07]* What wealth means to Sallie at this point in her life.

I am excited to be joined today by an utterly fascinating guest, Modupe Akinola! Modupe is an Associate Professor of Management at Columbia Business School where she also serves as the Director of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership & Ethics. Additionally, she is the host of the incredibly popular, TED Business Podcast, and has written for numerous academic journals.   What I love about Modupe is that she asked herself early in her career, ‘What are the things I’ve always loved?” And took stock. She listened to her gut, got comfortable with the uncomfortable, took a courageous leap of faith, and followed her true passion in life.   In our conversation together today, Modupe shares about the ways in which she is a leader, her philosophy in life, how she leads in the five dimensions of leadership (know yourself, expand your consciousness, speak your truth, activate your mastery, and inspire love), how she discovered her unique strengths, and what she wants the world to know as a black woman, scholar, and leader.   Key Takeaways: [:49] About today’s episode with special guest, Modupe Akinola.

[10:55] The importance of listening to your gut and following your passion. [12:16] Modupe shares the ways in which she is a leader. [14:29] What does inspiring love, and leading in love, look like and mean to Modupe? [16:28] Modupe shares about her recent year-long sabbatical and what she learned from it. [20:44] We all have a choice — but it takes a lot of courage. [22:13] Modupe’s philosophy in life. [25:27] One of the five dimensions of leadership is ‘expand consciousness.’  What does consciousness mean to Modupe? How does it intersect with her philosophy in life? [27:07] The importance of being grateful and expressing gratefulness.[29:55] How did Modupe discover her strengths? [33:40] As a black woman, scholar, and leader, what does Modupe want other people to understand about race and gender around the world? [38:27] The responsibility that we also need to take as black people in order to heal. [41:16] Modupe shares about a recent interview she led with Jennifer Eberhardt on understanding and disrupting racial biases. In this interview, they also discuss this concept of ‘friction.’ Modupe shares what this means and gives some examples. [43:13] Would implementing a competency-based assessment framework when hiring, constitute friction?

If you're anxious, if you're envious, if you're resentful, whatever it is, face it, acknowledge it. And then bring yourself back to the present moment so that you don't get pulled into a narrative from the past and capsized by the feelings. It's really about learning to process that emotional energy. And the reason it's so important to be in touch with what you're feeling, particularly when the feelings are big, is in situations where you have more questions than answers. You need to notice those red flags because you may need to course-correct. And then finally the Lifeboat process is about what I call this inner alignment of really aligning your thoughts, your feelings, and your intentions in the present moment, and not trying to take these grand actions that assume you have all the answers right now. And you're just going forward with that.

What Will Your Life in Retirement Be Like After a Highly Successful Career? Some people can't wait to enjoy the freedom to retire. But for many of us, it's just the beginning of the next chapter. What is it like to change lanes and perhaps never retire? Professor Meyer Feldberg is the author of No Finish Line: Lessons on Life and Career. He joins us for a conversation about the book, his reflections on different phases of his illustrious career - including his post-retirement career - and his advice on continuing to move on, contribute, and grow throughout life. ____________________________ Bio Meyer Feldberg served as dean and professor at Columbia Business School for over 15 years. He received a BA from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, an MBA for Columbia Business School, and a Ph.D. from the University of Cape Town. In 1972 he was appointed dean of the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business. In 1979 he became director of executive education and associate dean at Northwestern University’s J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management. In 1981 he was appointed dean of Tulane University’s A.B. Freeman School of Business, and in 1986 returned to Columbia as professor of management and dean of the Business School. In 2003, he was named the Sanford C. Bernstein Professor of Leadership and Ethics and held the chair until 2007, when he became dean emeritus. In 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg appointed Professor Feldberg president of New York City Global Partners. Professor Feldberg is currently a senior advisor in the Investment Banking Division at Morgan Stanley. He and his family have lived in eight cities on three continents.   _____________________________ About the Book Meyer Feldberg is a storyteller. The source of his stories is his rich and unique life, which took him from South Africa under apartheid to a C-Suite in present-day New York, from the hallowed halls of academia to the frenzy of global investment banking. As with all storytellers, there is a purpose embedded in each of his stories that is specific in its details but universal in its message. No Finish Line is Meyer Feldberg as his friends and colleagues know him. It is the professor dispensing sage advice. It is the mentor telling a tale about himself that is really about you. In his telling, Feldberg’s story―his successes and his failures―is a lesson plan for how to lead a worthy personal and professional life. This concise volume reminds the reader of the importance of courage and decency in our relationships. Feldberg shows how values such as self-awareness, personal responsibility, and generosity play out in ways that in retrospect become pivotal. He relates his regrets as well as his triumphs, candidly sharing how our failures to live up to our own expectations can continue to haunt us. Written by a leading fixture of New York’s educational, cultural, and business elite, No Finish Line is an engaging portrait of what matters most in living a good and successful life. - Columbia Business School Publishing Order No Finish Line: Lessons on Life and Career by Meyer Feldberg _____________________________ Wise Quotes On Mentoring “It gave me an understanding that there are two kinds of mentoring, mentoring that is destructive and makes life awkward and difficult for you and mentoring that helps you grow - where you admire the individual that's working with you and assisting you and directing you.”   On Second Careers “I don't use the phrase second act or second shot. You’ve got to feel the energy of wanting to move on and move up, move on and move up. And then one day, I assume you say, I'm done. I'm not done. But to me, it's not a second act or a third act or a fourth act. It's just been moving on and moving up.” __________________________ Related Podcast Episodes The Skill Set for Life’s Transitions – Bruce Feiler How to Make a Wise Career Switch – Dawn Graham

Richard Baum is the Managing Partner at Consumer Growth Partners (CGP), a private equity firm that specializes in helping companies with high growth potential to sell or monetize their business. Richard is a Harvard Law School graduate and he studied Economics at the University of Michigan where he graduated magna cum laude.  Prior to Consumer Growth Partners (CGP), Richard spent over 15 years as one of Wall Street's leading equity research analysts covering the specialty retailing sector at Credit Suisse First Boston, Goldman Sachs, and Sanford C. Bernstein. In this episode… Are online marketplaces starting to replace brick and mortar stores? Retailers are moving into online marketplaces at lightning speed because of the extent of their reach but for Richard Baum, while they do offer convenience, products sold in physical stores still have an upper hand in key areas of the retail market such as product quality assurance and brand equity. Richard Baum is the Managing Partner at Consumer Growth Partners and for him, selling on Amazon is a great idea but it isn't the end-all and be-all for the companies who are looking to sell their products. He also says that while big brands should consider getting into partnership deals with Amazon to protect their brand credibility, small businesses should focus on establishing their brand in Amazon's volatile retail environment. Eric Stopper sits down with Richard on this week's episode of The Buy Box Experts podcast where Richard talks about his perspective on the banning of adult product ads, what a non-Amazonable product is, why luxury items opt-out of Amazon, and what the future holds for the retail market in the next five years. Stay tuned.

Listen in to some revelations about secrets with Michael Slepian, the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics. Professor Slepian researches the effect of secret-keeping on our personal and professional lives. According to his findings, being the lone bearer of a secret not only heightens emotions such as inauthenticity and loneliness, but can also feel physically burdensome.  Fortunately, Slepian’s research hints at a solution: talking to others about your secret.    

Is secret-keeping hazardous to our mental health? Adam and Amanda discuss a research project by Columbia University, speak with guest Kat Black about an addictive and potentially life-threatening secret, and look deep into outer space for secrets that humankind may never see.

Richard 'Rich' Pzena is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Pzena Investment Management, a value-style investment firm. Unlike what some investors believe, technological disruption is not destroying value-style investing, but is creating opportunities for them, Rich says. This because history tells us that ultimately it is the incumbent that benefits from innovation, not 'the next guy on the block'. Rich Pzena podcast overview: 2:11 My father was a value investor until, 25 years ago, he became convinced electric cars would take over the world 3:30 Trying to recreate Benjamin Graham’s work from ‘The Intelligent Investor’ 4:30 But we didn’t have unlimited resources, so we limited our research to stock starting with the letter ‘A’ or ‘B’ 5:00 There is never a reason to buy things full price 6:30 Is the fact that the value premium is easy to measure today has affected its effect? 8:00 The issue with value is not measurement; it is human nature. 11:00 Taking a detour in the oil industry 13:00 Crazy valuations in the oil industry in the 1980s. 16:30 As a sell-side oil analyst I learned the difference between having the data and guessing the data. 19:00 Switching to establishing a small cap portfolio 21:00 I saw what happened when you went from a boutique manager to a multi-billion dollar manager. 25:00 Did you ever made stuff up as a sell side analyst? 28:30 Highly engineered statistical (quant) models can’t possibly work 29:50 Value is not a factor; price to book is a factor. 32:30 Value is behavioural. 36:00 Comparing our process to a simple, low price-to-book model 37:00 Leaving Sanford C. Bernstein 42:00 Joel Greenblatt told me to exclude the bottom third worst return on equity businesses and I was shocked at the result. 45:00 Regression to the mean is just human behaviour: people don’t want to believe that management can fix the problems. 46:00 Value is created when you don’t know what is going to happen. 48:30 Value cycles happen because everyone adopts the same opinion on the market. 52:00 Disruptive technologies have always been around and most of the time it is the incumbents that benefit. It is not always the new guy on the block. 55:00 Tesla’s decision to make cars was a dumb idea. 57:00 The next opportunity is the market’s obsession with the next financial downturn. 1:00:00 Which lessons did you learn the hard way?

Jonathan Freedman is the managing member of Consilience Capital Management LLC. He began his career at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. as a clerk in 1992 quickly moving up to research assistant to the Chief Investment Strategist, followed by a promotion to research associate. Subsequently, he was promoted to research analyst for the firm’s equity hedge fund product with responsibility for industrial cyclicals. In 1999 Jonathan joined Ulysses Partners as a research analyst. Then in 2000 and 2001, he started managing personal and family portfolios. In 2002, he founded Consilience Partners LP, a long/short value hedge fund with $1.5 million of capital raised. During his time managing Consilience, he had tremendous initial success with select small capitalization ideas. A seed was planted. In 2004, he began to manage a separate account focusing on US small cap value strategies for a multi-strategy hedge fund as an external manager. In 2009, he completely upgraded his idea generation, research, and trading capabilities to tackle global small-cap investing. In 2018 he relaunched his strategy using friends and family capital on a path to once again build a stand-alone investment firm. In this episode, Jonathan shares the importance of developing a strong sense of business ethics and philosophy. This was brought about by his worst investment ever story working for a hedge fund that collapsed in spectacular fashion, got its management arrested and offices raided. Although he operated independently and had absolutely no involvement in any of the wrongdoing this experience brought crushing disappointment to Jonathan’s life.     “…when you're dealing with money to make sure you are in a complete alignment.”  -Jonathan Freedman     What do you want to hear from the My Worst Investment Ever Podcast? Tell us here!   Resources:  My Worst Investment Ever Book myworstinvestmentever.com Jonathan Freedman's Linkedin Article: If I'm Being Totally Honest   Topics Covered:  00:45 – An account of Jonathan’s educational and career background as well as his personal life and what he does for good causes and charities. 03:09 – Jonathan relating his worst investment ever and the lessons and insights about that business failure. 09:17 – Talking in hindsight about the downfall of Jonathan's previous business. 11:58 – Explaining business ethics and investment philosophies. 14:38 – Jonathan talking about the value of honesty in business dealings and how his father was his biggest influence on that matter. 15:50 – Valuable lessons learned from a failed business and the long-term consequences of every decision you make especially in business. 18:58 – The thing about the sixth sense in business dealings. 19:48 – Jonathan sharing his thoughts on decision making and the power of chance. 23:10 – Nuggets of wisdom from Andrew on zero-based thinking. 22:10 – Jonathan's specific action: Self-reflect and align yourself in a better way.   Main Takeaways: Lesson 1:  “Every single decision has long-term implications. So if I think about one skill that we want to keep developing in our life, its decision making. It's always impossible to see unintended consequences that come from decisions, but let's just learn from this to say every decision has long-term consequences.”– Andrew Stotz Lesson 2: “The ultimate customer is the client. The ultimate beneficiary is the client. So wrongdoings done by some clown, overtrading someone's account, or not following the mandate that they've been given. Those types of things are going to damage the client and therefore we all have an obligation to speak up so that the client is not damaged.”– Andrew Stotz Lesson 3: “The hard-line about honesty that you're building in your son is actually building a sixth sense. So that when in the future you're not around and he's about to make a small little decision that crosses that line, his sixth sense about the ethics will hopefully shine a light on what behavior to do. ”– Andrew Stotz Lesson 4: “If you're in this situation where you have misgivings of any kind, whether they're very subtle or very stark, change course because you know ultimately dishonesty never leads to anything good.”– Jonathan Freedman Lesson 5: “…when you go into business with people you know, you want to make sure that the ideals match. I think there's a subtle difference between the two, right? Because if you say compromise your ideals, you're saying you are going to conduct business in a slightly different way. Of course, you're going to get a capital allocation and it makes you uncomfortable, but you're going to do it anyway.”– Jonathan Freedman   You can also check out Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points   Connect with Jonathan Freedman: Linkedin consiliencecapital.com   Connect with Andrew Stotz: www.astotz.com Linkedin Facebook Instagram Twitter Youtube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast

Do women and men view delegation differently? In this seminar, Modupe Akinola shares her research showing that women imbue delegation with more agentic traits, have more negative associations with delegating, and feel greater guilt about delegating than men. These associations result in women delegating less than men and, when they do delegate, having lower-quality interactions with subordinates. Furthermore, she discusses an intervention that can attenuate women’s negative associations with delegation. Modupe Akinola, Sanford C. Bernstein Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics, Columbia Business School
