Ryan and Lach took the time this week to record a special about Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it relates to the topic of episode #2, The Black Swan by Nassim Nicolas Taleb.

They discuss the current status of the virus as well as answer the question - does the Coronavirus epidemic qualify as a Black Swan? Taleb's book written back in 2007 specifically discusses the impending danger of pandemics in our current world.

The guys go through Taleb's theory piece by piece and map it onto current world events. They also discuss the topic of another of Nassim Taleb's books Antifragile, which provides insights to prepare for Black Swan events.

This episode takes a different look at the tragic events that are unfolding around the globe currently.

Stay safe and keep in touch
