Are you feeling stuck in your job? Are feeling unfulfilled? Feeling like you're not being acknowledged fully for what you do and what you bring to the table? Do you feel like there's more and you just don't know how to go about finding out what that is?  Well, you're not alone.   My guest Adeola Adebiyi knows all about how you feel.  Despite being a seasoned Cyber Security executive with more than 15 years of experience in the industry Adeola came to me because she felt stuck.  But I had something for her.  The Resume Excavation is a process I take clients through that's not about your resume.  It's about you and a treasure hunt that will give you a complete reframe on who you are and the great value that you bring.  If you're like Adeola you probably treat your resume as this old thing that you only take out when you're ready to dust it off to get a new job.  And the dust-off is usually a minor update with details of your current position. And then you send it off expecting it to perform miracles like landing you some dream job.  Which if you know me and have listened to Episode 1 you know the dream job does not exist.   This approach does not work.  But the Resume Excavation process does.   Don't take my word for it.  Listen in to hear what Adeola had to say about her experience and how the process gave her all she was looking for and more.     About my guest:  Adeola Adebiyi is a seasoned Cyber Security executive with more than 15 years of experience in the industry.

In this episode of Investing In Integrity, Ross Overline speaks with Diana Pagliarini, the Executive Vice President and General Auditor at State Street Corporation. Diana has 32 years of experience in the banking industry and 14 years in board-visible roles. Her leadership and ability to execute strategic plans leads to improved processes, functions, and departments while influencing policy changes and risk practices at an enterprise level. Diana's role at State Street involves managing and developing the company-wide corporate audit plan, ensuring risk is appropriately governed. To maintain independence, a critical component of the General Auditor Role, she has a direct reporting line to the Board of Directors Examining and Audit Committee.  State Street is a global leader across investment servicing, markets and financing, and investment management. Risk and auditing is about managing risks, maintaining transparency, identifying vulnerabilities, and driving compliance. With risks, there are layers of security that only authorized people should have access to. The higher the risk the more security features and layers of security are built into the architecture of the vault access. Auditors have to look at everything from people to processes and technology to know the risk. If it is a risk for State Street, it's something Diana and her team are auditing. In her role, Diana also values the importance of character and integrity in leadership and emphasizes self-awareness and self-care, as well as owning your mistakes and showing up, especially during difficult times. Integrity and credibility are significant currencies in leadership. Demonstrating this during challenging times can lead to further opportunities. Also, being willing to ask “What do you need?” and “How can I help?” is a great way to show leadership and build a rapport with your seniors.

Welcome to a special series on building a stronger culture of compliance through targeted and effective training sponsored by Diligent. I will visit with Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark, Viktor Culjak, Jessica Czeczuga, Michael Parker, and Alexander Cotoia in this series. Over this series, we will consider what culture is, how to assess culture, putting together a strategy to manage culture based upon this assessment, monitoring that strategy in the future, and using information from your monitoring to improve your culture continuously. In Part 1, we ask what culture is with our special guest, Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark. Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark, a seasoned professional in the financial services industry, currently holds the position of Chief Compliance Officer for State Street Corporation. With a robust background in risk management, Yvette has cultivated a deep understanding of the significance and measurement of corporate culture in the financial sector. She asserts that corporate culture should not be solely managed by the compliance function but rather owned by the C-suite and executed in various forms. Yvette emphasizes the need for specific metrics to monitor and promote desired cultural values, such as integrity. She believes culture can be measured through metrics such as the number of risk decisions overruled, challenged, or implemented correctly. She also highlights the importance of considering stakeholders such as customers, clients, and third parties when assessing corporate culture. Join Tom Fox and Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark on this episode to delve deeper into this topic. Key Highlights: Measuring and Managing Corporate Culture in Finance Shaping Corporate Culture: Board's Key Role The Nuances of Assessing Organizational Culture Ready for Purpose-Driven Compliance? Diligent equips leaders with the tools to build, monitor, and maintain an open, transparent ethics and compliance culture.

Often we think we have the freedom to choose, but do we truly? Dive deep into the world of cognitive bias and learn how our decisions are subtly influenced by external factors. Explore the psychological mechanisms behind the illusion of choice, where individuals believe they have control over their lives when in reality, this control is limited. Throughout the episode, you'll gain insights into how cognitive biases are manipulated by advertising and marketing, leading to suboptimal decision-making. The podcast host breaks down the paradox of choice, where too many options can leave us dissatisfied and overwhelmed. Drawing examples from restaurants to political campaigns, you'll see how this phenomenon affects various aspects of life. Discover the shocking truth about media consolidation as the host exposes how a handful of major corporations dominate what you watch, read, and listen to. Uncover the influence of State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and Fidelity in controlling not only your entertainment but also the global financial landscape. Learn how these corporations hold sway over the largest banks, shaping monetary policies without proper democratic oversight. Intriguingly, the episode shifts focus to the CEOs of these mega-corporations: Ronald P. O. Hanley of State Street Corporation, Mortimer J. Buckley of Vanguard Group, Larry Fink of BlackRock, and Abigail Johnson of Fidelity. With their powerful positions, they wield control over every aspect of consumer choices, from food to media consumption. The podcast host questions whether you're comfortable allowing these individuals to dictate the narrative of your life. The episode ultimately calls for support of independent content creators who challenge the mainstream narrative and offer alternative perspectives. It encourages listeners to recognize the power they hold by choosing what they consume and whom they support. As social media platforms tighten their grip on information, this episode is a rallying call to stand against the manipulation of choices and seek the truth beyond the illusion.

Paul Selian is a 61-year-old executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer for State Street Corporation. He oversees the firm's proprietary portfolio and the activities of a team of investment professionals in the United States, Europe and Australia. Paul has also served as a board member and President of the Dean Center for Tick Borne Illness. He and his family reside in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. In 2004, when the Selian family was in the midst of adopting their 4th child, Paul fell ill. His initial symptom was a sharp drop in blood pressure that made him feel faint and numbness in his arm. This caused him to be admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital for 3 days, where the hospital's team of 24 doctors were unable to settle on a diagnosis. Following the hospital discharge, he was sent to a neurologist who “quickly figured it out” that he had Lyme disease. Recognizing that he “didn't get sick overnight” and therefore he “won't heal overnight” he began to invest in his health by attending clinics in Switzerland and Germany. From the clinical experiences he met people from around the world that counseled him that healing from a chronic illness would require him to become a “self trained medical professional”. If you would like to learn more about how Lyme disease taught an investment officer to “own his own health” and never to “delegate to even a doctor”, then tune in now! PS. Ride Out Lyme's Brandi Dean co-hosted this podcast interview with Rich.

Hideyuki Takahashi is the Chairman of State Street Japan, an American financial services and bank holding company.   Mr. Takahashi established his career at Nomura Securities where he stayed for 21 years, becoming an Executive Account Manager for retail business and eventually moving on to manage international business. Mr. Takahashi has experience living and working globally in places including Australia, England, Amsterdam, Luxemburg, and Frankfurt through Nomura.   When in Amsterdam and Luxemburg, Mr. Takahashi built his sales team from zero, starting from the recruiting process, hiring many local workers. Mr. Takahashi says he made sure that he clearly communicated there were no division in how the local and Japanese hires were treated in his team of six people in the beginning. He explains that the most essential aspect of building a team and delivering results is defining the goal and planning out how it can be achieved, as well as the reward. Mr. Takahashi says his experience working in Australia and London enabled him to manage the international team who tend to be more assertive than Japanese workers.   As the CEO of Nomura Bank Deutschland, Mr. Takahashi led an organization with 300 staff and was first tasked with the role of restructuring, eliminating certain sections, and dealing with litigation matters. Mr. Takahashi recalls this as a tough experience, and required him to be very decisive, without any compromise. He wishes he had been better with constantly and clearly sharing information including his vision and direction of the company as a leader. For example, having a town-hall meetings in addition to communicating in smaller groups.   When in London, Mr. Takahashi was the European Equity Division Head. There, he managed a team of approximately 150 people. Mr. Takahashi initially struggled due to his English skills as his team were mostly English speakers and found the speed of communication to be very fast. When Mr. Takahashi arrived in New York as the COO, and then CEO, he was now leading over 1400 people. He noticed in New York, his staff were very vocal and quick to speak their mind. He recalls working with this team to be “very tough but at the same time, very simple” since there was constant clear communication and everybody was treated equally.   After 7 years in New York, Mr. Takahashi returned to Japan as the Global Head of Internal Audit of Nomura Group for a year and a half, then moved on to become Global Head of Research to integrate Lehman Brothers' and Nomura's research organization. There, he led a team of approximately 1000 people. Mr. Takahashi explains leading a team of researcher was a challenging experience, as they are highly intelligent and in a specialized discipline with a clearly set career path. After his time at Global Research, Mr. Takahashi then moved to corporate communication with non-Japanese media for a year and a half. Mr. Takahashi finally moved into State Street where he currently is the Chairman.   On increasing workplace engagement, Mr. Takahashi advises to clearly outline and communicate the vision and goal of the company, as well as the benefit of each individual joining the team. He adds the importance of clearly defining the role and accountability of each person. In large organizations, Mr. Takahashi points out having a strong and trustworthy middle management team is essential. It is crucial to train these middle management staff to make sure they understand the leader's vision and goals so that they can consistently communicate the same message to the rest of the team. Giving people accountability and letting them know what they will gain from the work they are doing and the future prospect is also important to keep them engaged and motivated. With Japanese people, Mr. Takahashi explains they need to be encouraged to speak up, but once they gain the confidence, they will be more likely to communicate their ideas openly.   On advice to foreigners leading in Japan, Mr. Takahashi advises to be mindful when recruiting people to understand that Japanese people have a tendency to not communicate their strengths clearly as English-speaking people. He recommends not jumping to the conclusion that people who cannot market themselves well are incapable and encourages seeing the real value of the more traditional Japanese staff. Secondly, Mr. Takahashi advises to stay committed to the job, as people will not trust managers who leave in a short period of time. Thirdly, Mr. Takahashi advises that in business, it is wiser to use one's own language to clearly communicate the message.   Mr. Takahashi defines leadership as a very strong conviction of one's own vision and the ability to communicate that with others, as well as winning in business.

Source: https://alanweiss.com/about-alan-weiss/   About the book The newest thoughts and examples on the best practices and language for successful professional services proposals. This is the contemporary version of the seminal book How to Write A Proposal That's Accepted Every Time, originally written in 1998 and updated in 2002. Adopt the best global practices Alan has generated for conceptual agreement, options, escalating fees, avoiding the legal department, eliminating cancellations, and much more. He includes information about RFPs (requests for proposals) and retainers. Increase your income by six figures a year without doing anything different — except how you formulate your proposals. Source: https://alanweiss.com/shop/books/paperback/million-dollar-consulting-proposals/   Big idea #1 — Proposals with purpose Your proposal doesn't do the selling for you. This is the fundamental idea of the book; the proposal isn't doing anything that you haven't already done. The sale should really already have been made from the meetings you've had, and the relationship you have built with the economic buyer. It's a summary of what has come before and what has been agreed. There's a quote in the book that says;A proposal is a summation, not an explanation. It is a summary of the conceptual agreement you've reached with your economic buyer and not a negotiating document or an attempt to make a sale. It's easy to fall into the trap of sending a proposal without having actually ever sold anything, and making the mistake of seeing a proposal as the start of the sales process, rather than the end. Alan says that the things that proposal should do include; summarizing the agreement detailing the objectives, metrics of success, and the value of those objectives being met giving options for levels of value detailing the fees and the terms and conditions Conversely, what the proposal documents shouldn't do is; be a document for gatekeepers to use on your behalf be vague establish credibility (that should already have been done) include anything that hasn't already been agreed to be used to build a relationship with a buyer (again, that should already have been done),  be a comparison point for competitors (ie you shouldn't be in a situation where your proposal was being looked at and compared to another) He says that most people send proposals too early and too often, even sometimes using the number of proposals sent out as a measure of success. Big idea #2 — Know your buyer This isn't just from an avatar perspective and coming up with your stick figure pretend ‘buyer' and writing things that they like / feel etc. This is about really building a relationship with the economic buyer; the person who can sign off the purchase order, who can pay the invoice, who can approve the finances involved in working with you. At several points in the book Alan makes some sick burns at HR people (he often refers to them as Hardly Relevant in other talks / podcasts) and emphasizes many times that you should never deal with them. A proposal in the wrong hands, he says, is worse than no proposal at all. So we need to be working directly with our economic buyer. Building a trusted relationship with your economic buyer might take several meetings or interactions, and is not done through a proposal document. He says you know the relationship building is going well when the other person shares undisclosed/non-public information with you and ask your opinion. By working with the buyer you are able to better articulate value, because you know exactly what is important to them, what their objectives are, what outcomes would be valuable to them, and how to talk about those things in their words. He says when gatekeepers are involved (or low-level people, as he often refers to them) that keep you from your buyer, it's time to ‘blow a hole in the wall' and find your own way to the economic buyer. He acknowledges this is a bit of a risky approach, and may only work 10% of the time, but that's better than the 0% which you're going to get if the gatekeeper keeps you from the economic buyer. Big idea #3 — The nine key components Alan very helpfully in the book provides several templates to use an example proposal, including wording and structures. Some of the wording you might not like, but it gives you a chance to make these your own. There are nine key components to one of his million dollar proposals: Situational appraisal: the context of the problem (keep it short and focused on the problem, don't include the company history / what they do… your buyer already knows this!) Objectives: the desired business outcome Metrics: how success and/or progress will be measured Value: the impact of meeting the objectives Methodology and options: how the outcomes will be achieved / the levels of value available Timing: key dates / timing estimates / overall timeline Joint accountability: what you will do and what the client needs to commit to, in order to be successful Terms & conditions: legal blurb and payment terms / rates etc Acceptance: how does the client accept the proposal? He says including these sections means easier and clearer conversations every single time, and therefore a better acceptance rate. But only if the work has been done upfront and you're using proposals to summarize, not sell.   Let's connect LinkedIn Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you realise that very little in politics is accidental, and that mostly it is all by design with strategy being decided at the highest levels and the actions seen by the population are just fulfillment, you look at the world in a more sober and definitely less naive light. So let's look at Afghanistan. Originally the US went in there to ‘hunt down Osama Bin Laden'. When they didn't find him there and especially after they allegedly killed him in Pakistan, they should have exited Afghanistan … but no, they stayed.  The cost of this thing has been in the trillians already and by the time the interest is paid off on the debt by roughly 2050 (debt mainly to the respective Central Banks of the allied countries who participated) the total cost will be closer to USD7 trillion dollars. Now that is a debt on top of the 100's of billions of dollars in debt that has been created in the name of fighting an illness for which a $2.49 treatment provides both preventative treatment and cure. So what about the withdrawal. It was so sloppy it creates the impression of an air of urgency. It suggests that everyone suddenly had to scramble. That they were taken off guard and had to get out fast. Of course getting out fast meant leaving behind billions of dollars of some of the most advanced military hardware including BlackHawk attack helicopters and more. Much more.  Remember also that back when the US were fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Taliban were their allies and they were training them in all areas of military disciplines. So let's just say it's not a case of leaving something behind that the locals won't be able to use. Of course, BlackRock won't mind. Likewise Vanguard and State Street Corporation. As with all large companies in the world these three asset management firms own Lockheed Martin and Lockheed Martin owns Sikorsky that makes the BlackHawk. When you consider what happened with the GFC and BlackRock's role and how they benefited, it kind of puts the 1971 federal government USD$250 million (about USD$1.4 billion today) bailout of Lockheed Martin into perspective doesn't it.  Admittedly Larry Fink, CEO and founder of BlackRock was only 19 years old at the time of the Lockheed Martin bailout and he hadn't yet been instrumental in creating and developing the mortgage backed security instruments that ultimately became the fuel to ignite the GFC. But he learnt well from both history and his mentors that had influence in the 1970's and earlier. But enough about BlackRock for now. We have a series coming up about them next. Why this Afghanistan withdrawal is a strategic withdrawal but not in the way you think, is because it sets up the next big conflict. Yes I realise the most unimaginative person in the world can probably imagine that one. It's obvious that when you have a perceived aggressive state and a bunch of people who want to have you believe that they are the root of all evil then you can just see the next war on the horizon.  If you watch any of the reporting coming out of Afghanistan, the Taliban appear to be saying the same types of law and order things you'd expect to hear in western societies. They appear to want a peaceful existence. I'm not siding with nor defending any of the things we've come to understand of the Taliban nor of Sharia Law and especially what they do to women, physically, psychologically, sexually, generally or any other -ly you can think of. I personally find it a repulsive way of being. I'm simply saying that they are (most likely purposefully and possibly genuinely … not sure on that last one) making all of the reasonable overtures one hardly expects. But back to the primer…. Naturally, the lid will be kept on the powder keg of Battleground Afghanistan until just the right moment. Several companies and governments need to milk this for as long as they can and until the timing is right for the next big thing… BTW … the next war against the Taliban is not the next big thing. The next Afghanistan War will be one of several distractions used at a time when the big push to a single world government is either just starting, or has started and they need a distraction before they play their Ace card. What that Ace is I'll discuss in another episode.

Imagine determining the course of the American economy. Twelve people in the United States actually have that job. They sit on the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee. Their votes affect hundreds of millions of people. And it's just one of their many responsibilities. Rob Kaplan is one of those twelve. How does he do it? He focuses on communication - no small task when you help lead one of the most tight-lipped institutions on the planet.

He is the author of several bestselling books, and served ten years as a professor at Harvard Business School. “What do we do that's distinctive at the Fed? . . . We've got to be a thought leader and we've got to understand economic conditions.

Hey Everyone!THANK YOU to everyone who read and listened to yesterday’s letter, another record…. 1600+ podcast downloads…I’m honestly honored….If you aren’t subscribed yet, I’ll probably keep writing more about Bitcoin and technology, because it seems like that’s what you want to hear!Subscribe to get this letter in your inbox 5x per week.So what do I think is the #1 Bitcoin Rocket Fuel?Honestly, it’s easy, and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist. ETF’s.For those that don’t know, and ETF is basically a stock.Just like Apple, Google, Tesla, etc, sort of.However, instead of tracking the value of a company, an ETF is designed to track the value of some sort of asset or basket of assets/companies. In this case, it will be tracking Bitcoin.Real quick, let me explain why people are excited about these incoming ETF’s, and I’ll also explain why they are still UNDERESTIMATING their impact at the same time.1) There are a TON of applications filed and it seems like many will be approved.Consensus Understanding -> Here are all the applications for Bitcoin ETF’s in the United States…Fidelity Goldman Sachs (not a direct ETF, slightly confusing structure)SkyBridge Morgan StanleyNYDIG VanEck Valkyrie WisdomTree BitwiseAs you can see, there are a TON of huge names in the running for these ETF’s.PEOPLE ARE UNDERESTIMATING -> Many will likely get approved at the same time.It seems unlikely that the SEC will approve only one of these, and thus grant a monopoly to any one ETF. There will be many approved, which only improves the flow of money into the space…… Speaking of flow of money…..2) A RIDICULOUS amount of money wants access to Bitcoin, but can’t get it.First off, for those that don’t know.An ETF is by far the easiest way to get money into Bitcoin, for MANY of the people that want it. Bitcoin is still a new, alternative asset. Thus, many of the more traditional companies (think your parent’s insurance company) still aren’t able to buy Bitcoin, even if they wanted to, due to their charters. However, an ETF THROWS OPEN THE FLOODGATES, and allows them to buy something that is traded on the public market, just as easily as if they were buying Apple stock….The effect of this is going to be massive.PEOPLE ARE UNDERESTIMATING -> A) What happened with Gold will likely happen with Bitcoin.On November 18, 2004, State Street Corporation launched SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD), which surpassed $1 billion in assets within its first three trading days. As of 2019, it was the largest gold-backed ETF in the world and it had more than $40 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in daily trading volume.[7]The Gold price on November 18, 2004? -> $444 an ounce. Today? -> $1,736 an ounceThis is due in large part to capital flows that came in through these Gold ETFs.ONE SEC, I WILL COME BACK TO GOLD FOR MY MOST BULLISH NEWS AT THE END. B) It’s not like we don’t already know that there is demand…. (Canadian Bitcoin ETF’s)We already know that these USA ETF’s are going to pop off. Why?Because Canada already launched a couple a few months ago, and they went CRAZY.This tweet puts it perfectly.C) Michael Saylor already proved there is ridiculous demand for these products….Remember way back when (like 6 months ago)..When big dog Michael Saylor offered 600 Million in CONVERTIBLE DEBT to people, in order to buy Bitcoin?Basically turning Microstrategy (his company) into a quasi ETF?Yeah, I do too. Remember what happened?It got OVERSUBSCRIBED, to 1 BILLION DOLLARS.And here’s the kicker. This was at a 0% (yes you read that right) interest rate.Big companies were SO EXCITED to pump money into Bitcoin, in any way possible, that they were willing to loan Saylor money at 0% to do so. And you still think a Bitcoin ETF won’t blow the doors off things?3) The BIGGEST UNDERESTIMATION. What happens when you attach an ETF to a PROVABLY SCARCE ASSET?I told you I’d come back to the gold ETF’s.It’s so fascinating, because while the ETF’s have been good for the gold price overall, they have also been great for MANIPULATION.JP Morgan Chase, among MANY others, have been famous for paying insane fines year after year for manipulating the Gold market.How are they doing this?Now, disclaimer, I’m not a Gold expert, but my understanding is that it’s much easier to manipulate because there are PAPER CLAIMS to the GOLD.Now stay with me here.Gold is heavy, hard to transport, and needs to be verified and stored in vaults. So, naturally, it’s easier to just make sheets of paper (or digital ETF tokens) that say “You own X amount of Gold”.But my question is, what happens when human nature kicks in?Do we really know how much Gold there is, anywhere? Much less in each individual vault?Do we really know that Gold is Gold, and not just copper covered in Gold foil?When you have such VAGUE understanding of what is actually backing something up, that’s when it’s able to be easily manipulated.ENTER, BITCOIN.This is the first time in all of history that ETF’s (basically a giant funnel for all the World’s money) are being created around something that is 100% SCARCE, and we can PROVE IT AT ALL TIMES.There won’t be a question of how much Bitcoin there is.There’s 21 Million. Period. That simple fact is why I think everyone is underestimating the impact of these ETF’s.It’s like filling up a pool for your backyard.You could use a hose (current situation).Or, you could use 10 FIREHOSES (when these ETF’s get approved).Which one do you think will fill faster?And the craziest thing is….No one is going to be expanding the pool underneath you at the same time….That’s what has happened in Gold, and why it isn’t a good representation of the magnitude of change that will happen here.There is ONE POOL, and a LOT of water trying to get into it. All I can say is HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE. It’s going to be a wild ride.See you subscribers next week, I’ll write more Bitcoin articles if you subscribe, otherwise I’m just going to write about something super boring..Kale Get on the email list at thekaleletter.substack.com

In this episode, Hall welcomes Edward Dugger III, Founding Partner and President of Reinventure Capital. Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Reinventure Capital is a high-impact, high-return venture practice proven to deliver nonconcessionary financial returns along with intentional, measurable, and meaningful racial/social justice impact. Reinventure Capital consists of a diverse team who invests in U.S.-based companies led and controlled by BIPOC — Black, Indigenous, and other people of color - founders, and/or womxn founders of all identities, companies that are at breakeven or so commercializing solutions to real problems, in fragmented industries, at the forefront of one or more shifts, and poised to grow profitably. Edward was an early pioneer in impact investing, but also had careers as a real estate developer, business strategy consultant, and interim CFO. He has over 30 years of deep business development and venture capital experience, and a track record of notable achievements. At age 27 he became CEO of one of the larger venture capital firms in the nation, backed and mentored by such board directors as the CEO of Morgan Stanley and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of JP Morgan. As one of the earliest impact VC funds, they invested in growth industries to consciously expand business opportunities for entrepreneurs of color achieving an IRR of 32% during its last decade. Edward also helped launch some of the most successful African American controlled companies, both private and public, and assisted them in attracting over $2 billion in conventional capital, while achieving 30% diversity among managers and employees and generating over 7,000 family-supporting jobs. Although his investment practice was national, he leveraged his successes as a VC to build bridges among disparate local business communities as an early advocate for, and practitioner of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, I co-convened with the Bank several business leadership forums advocating more inclusive business practices. Expanding the effort after harvesting the venture funds, I partnered with the CEO of State Street Corporation to form The Business Collaborative (TBC), a unique business community initiative that dramatically increased the B2B sales volume among major corporations and businesses of color in Massachusetts. Most recently he has responded to our nation's current challenges, stemming from persistent social and economic inequities, by forming Reinventure Capital. Once again he is targeting the vast, untapped reservoir of innovative, entrepreneurial talent, comprised of those of color and women consistently overlooked by the mainstream investment community. In so doing, he is pursuing a contrarian investment playbook as before, ensuring an impact-rich return on capital AND inclusion. Edward is a graduate of Harvard College and Princeton University (MPA-UP, School of Public and International Affairs). Edward explains the role of social impact in Reinventure Capital’s investment thesis and shares with Hall his reasons for investing in diverse teams.  You can visit Reinventure Capital at , via their LinkedIn page at , and via their Twitter page at .     Edward can be contacted via LinkedIn at , and via email at .

State Street Chairman & CEO Ron O’Hanley describes leading one of the world’s largest financial institutions in the era of climate change. In a discussion moderated by Professor George Serafeim, he describes the roles of asset managers, shareholders, and asset owners with a focus on the concept of values vs. value in approaches to investment decisions. This is one of 4 new episodes this summer based on live content from the Harvard Business School Climate Risk conference held earlier in 2020.

„Ich wär‘ so gerne Millionär“, sangen Anfang der 90er Jahre ein paar selbst ernannte Adelige und wurden damit berühmt. Eine Million Euro besitzen – das wäre schon was. Für diejenigen, über die wir heute im Jahr 2020 reden, ist eine Million aber kaum noch von Bedeutung. „Peanuts“, wie man so schön sagt. Die Rede ist von den „Big Playern“ am Finanzmarkt, und die kümmern sich lieber um die großen Nüsse – Kokosnüsse, riesige Kokosnüsse… Um den Zahlendimensionen kurz ein einigermaßen vorstellbares Bild zu verleihen: 1 Milliarde sind 1.000 Millionen, 1 Billion steht für 1.000 Milliarden, also eine Million Millionen. Irgendwie ist das kaum noch begreifbar. Dennoch werden bei einem Vermögensverwalter wie BlackRock mehr als 7 Billionen US-Dollar in 2.000 Tochterfirmen verwaltet. Hinter BlackRock steht Laurence D. Fink, der den Traum vom Sohn eines Schuhverkäufers zum Milliardär lehrbuchartig hat wahr werden lassen. Seine Fondsgesellschaft ist mittlerweile in nahezu allen DAX-Unternehmen investiert. Doch BlackRock ist nicht der einzige Gigant auf dem Markt. Die Vanguard Group oder die State Street Corporation spielen ebenso in der Oberliga der „Geldverwalter“ mit. Doch was wird hier eigentlich verwaltet? Gewinnmaximierung. Und was ist das Ziel? Macht. Und wie gewinnt man? Indem andere verlieren.

Car discusses the latest BlackRock Investment Institute MACRO AND MARKET PERSPECTIVES for AUGUST 2019 Dealing with the next downturn: From unconventional monetary policy to unprecedented policy coordinationhttps://www.blackrock.com/corporate/literature/whitepaper/bii-macro-perspectives-august-2019.pdfHe specifically dives into the the portion of the report where they discuss Monetary Financing. They also mention Cryptocurrencies as not playing a role in the next downturn.For example, policy innovations in the next downturn will likely need to take inequality more directly into account to be politically palatable. Not all asset purchase programs are born equal when it comes to their impact on inequality. Policy responses that put money more directly in the hands of citizens might be more attractive. The rise of central bank-issued electronic money (not cryptocurrencies) might achieve these objectives in ways that were not previously possible. But this is also a slippery slope. A drift away from central bank independence – where the overall monetary policy stance is dominated by short-term political considerations – could quickly open the door to uncontrolled fiscal spending. The risk is real. This slippery slope leads to arguments that monetary policy can finance fiscal deficits – and that there is only a tenuous link between inflation and money-financed deficits, as some proponents “Modern Monetary Theory” (MMT) claim. The key is that coordination does not require giving up central bank independence. Instead, policy frameworks need to evolve to acknowledge that it is not the response itself that needs to be independent. The policy response in times of crisis will have to involve elements of both fiscal and monetary policy. But the contribution of monetary and fiscal authorities to the response can still be cleanly separated. The approach described on the next page provides a concrete example of how this can be done. He also discusses the Big Four – a group of huge financial holding companies that control many sectors of the economy in the US and abroad. BlackRock being one of them. Other members of the Big Four also include: the Vanguard Group; State Street Corporation; and FMR Corporation (Fidelity). FMR Corporation as you know is extremely bullish on Bitcoin.
