Author Michael Lewis joins Jen Taub today to talk about Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon, his new book that focuses on Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto-wunderkind who is now on trial on federal criminal charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and money laundering.  Though Michael needs no introduction, here's one anyway. You know Michael from his numerous bestselling works of narrative nonfiction. You may in fact be someone like John Williams of the New York Times book review who wrote: “I would read an 800-page history of the stapler if he wrote it.”  I'm certain that I would as well, and not just because my preliminary research of the stapler shows that there is some controversy as to its origins. But, I digress. Michael Lewis may be best known for his follow-the-money books. These include his debut work  Liar's Poker about binge-eating bond traders on Wall Street in the 1980s, as well as The Big Short published in 2010, about a scrappy selection of investors who saw that the toxic-mortgage-linked securities bubble was about to burst and made billions on their related trades. Several of Michael's books have been made into feature films including the Big Short, directed by Adam McKay; Moneyball, and The Blind Side. Beyond his story-telling excellence, what makes Michael's work so compellihg are the unexpected discoveries about the fragility of our government infrastructure such as with the Fifth Risk and his ability to make us think in a more nuanced way about high-profile topics, including his already controversial take on SBF. Jen and Michael Lewis talk about indicted crypto-wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).  In their discussion they contemplated whether SBF ran his businesses like an absent-minded parent setting up an Easter Egg hunt without making note of how many and where the eggs were. As an alternative, he might have deliberately siphoned off customer and investor assets and hide them in accounts to use later for himself or his charitable causes.  Let's dive in, Contact Booked Up: You can email Jen & the Booked Up team at: BOOKEDUP@POLITICON.COM or by writing to:  BOOKED UP  P.O.

One girl's love, faith, and courage turn the tides of Heaven.Fourteen-year-old Joan Orleans is the wonder of the ages. In Medieval France, she has fallen madly in love with Michael, the youngest archangel. She loves to pray with him in the fields of France. Although she lives on Earth and he lives in Heaven, he visits her every day by traveling on Jacob's Ladder and takes her to Heaven with him sometimes. Michael turns 17 and begins private training from the archangels, so Joan won't be able to see him as much. His parents are guardian angels, but his calling is as an archangel, and Lucifer will mentor him. Different types of angels—guardian angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim—all go through different kinds of education. Michael must then pass a final test or return home to his parents, never to reach his calling. Though Michael has received direct knowledge and orders from God, he nonetheless lacks faith and confidence that he'll pass his test as the youngest angel ever chosen to become an archangel. But Joan, who has never seen God face-to-face, has full faith Michael will succeed.As Michael trains with senior archangel Lucifer, he sneaks back to Earth to show Joan what Lucifer teaches him. He has become a master in sword fighting. Joan is excited for Michael, learning that faith and prayer must also be put into action. Joan is in awe of Lucifer's expertise and tries to learn everything she can from Michael. However, halfway through Michael's training, Joan notices that Lucifer's attitude is changing. Lucifer is critical of Michael even when he exceeds expectations. Nothing Michael ever does is good enough. He wants to quit, but Joan tells him that he cannot give up. She convinces Michael to sneak her into his classes. When Michael has his next class with Lucifer, Joan hides in the rafters. Lucifer tempts Michael to betray God with his angelic powers. Lucifer says that he is more intelligent than God and should be in control of his own life. Lucifer thinks he should be in charge of Heaven all by himself. After all, he is the one training the archangels, not God. Michael is shocked by Lucifer's suggestion. Joan decides that she will fight Lucifer in faith to protect Michael if she must. When class is finished, Joan insists that Michael report directly to the Ministry of Archangels and request that Lucifer be removed as a senior archangel.At a conference held by the Ministry of Archangels, which is run by the seven senior archangels—Gabriel, Lucifer, Raphael, Jophiel, Uriel, Chamuel, and Zadkiel—Joan publicly declares her love for Michael and offers to fight Lucifer with him. After hearing Michael's testimony, the Ministry dismisses Lucifer as an archangel altogether and replaces him with Michael. Although the Ministry is hesitant to put Joan in charge of anything, since she is a human, she insists that she will defend God's throne when Michael is on the battlefield. After the conference, Joan discovers that Lucifer has recruited a third of the angels in Heaven against God. A third stay with God. The other third has declared themselves “neutral” in the battle and have begun masquerading as humans on Earth. Joan insists that the angels pick a side—God or Satan. She wins many of the neutral angels over to fight for Michael. Joan helps Michael plan a battle strategy, trying to remember everything Lucifer taught him. Michael struggles as he realizes his mentor might kill Joan. Despite Michael's concerns, she relays the plan to his host of angels.Michael and his angels face Lucifer and his dark angels in battle. Not only does Michael fight to protect Heaven, but he also declares his love for Joan and the people of Earth. As Lucifer advances against God's throne, Joan stands guard outside the throne room door, where inside, the six-winged, burning seraphim fly around the throne, praising God. Her intuition warns her something is wrong, and she leaves to find Michael. She discovers that Lucifer has wiped out more than half of Michael's angels, and now Michael and Lucifer face off on the edge of Heaven. Lucifer uses every battle tactic he taught Michael, and Michael fights twice as hard as Lucifer expects. When Michael has Lucifer by the throat, Lucifer begs Michael to put away his emotions and think the situation through. Lucifer urges him to join in the rebellion against God. Joan screams to Michael to remember the love of God and says Lucifer is lying. In a moment of exhaustion, Michael is overcome by Lucifer's manipulation, and Lucifer breaks away. Moments later, Lucifer slashes Michael with his sword. Joan is filled with sudden strength and supernatural love for Michael. She hurls Lucifer and all his dark angels out of Heaven. Lucifer's pride has gone before the fall, and Lucifer with it. Joan and Michael rule God's angels together, and Joan finally meets God face-to-face in victory.

In this day and age, we can deliberately avoid challenges if we want to. But when we seek comfort, I feel that to a degree we're doing ourselves a disservice. Because we'll be less capable of dealing with the inevitable challenges that life throws at us. Today on the podcast, my guest, Michael Bulloch, talks about the value of getting out of your comfort zone and what you can gain when you seek out suffering. Michael is the founder of Man of Mastery, a brand through which he helps others achieve elite life performance. One of the ways in which he does this is through the Man of Mastery podcast. Where he talks with a wide array of guests to discuss various self-development topics. I was recently a guest on his podcast and joined him for episode 040, where I talked about my adventures and Operation: Dual Trek. Though Michael's story goes deeper than that. Around his 30th birthday, he set off to do a seven-month backpacking trip around the world. Visiting multiple countries across six countries. And the experiences that he had throughout his world tour instilled many life lessons. With some of the most notable being ones that he gained when he got out of his comfort zone. However, shortly after this adventure, Michael suffered a severe back injury. And after a long and drawn-out recovery process, he made a full recovery and now seeks out intense physical challenges; including Spartan Races, SEALFit events, and more. In this episode, Michael shares more of his story, and we discuss what drives him and so many other people to travel and seek out suffering in various endurance events. As well as what people can gain from doing so. Connect with Michael www.manofmastery.com Podcast Facebook Instagram YouTube Thank you for listening!
