In this episode, we speak to the Wall Street Journal's Greg Zuckerman about his groundbreaking book – The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution. If you are not familiar with Simons (or even if you think you are), you're in for a real treat. Simons is a legendary mathematician, a cold-war code breaker, a philanthropist and possibly the greatest money maker in modern financial history.

With COVID-19 continuing to spread worldwide, we are seeing a huge impact on people on a personal level and we are just starting to contemplate the potential future impact on global markets and economies. Things are evolving on a daily basis but it's important to have these conversations. We are really fortunate to have Ron Temple of Lazard Asset Management to break it all down for us.

With the spread of COVID-19, companies have had to alter the way they do business - some rotating staff while others sending all employees home to work remotely. Never before has the alphabet soup of BCP, DR, BIA and DST (to name a few) been more important. We are fortunate to have Anthony Patti of Drawbridge Partners on the phone to help us break it all down.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread around the globe and continues to impact countries, cities, businesses and each of us individually. The virus doesn't care about nationality or social status so access to proper healthcare for all will be a critical element in how effectively we navigate this crisis. In this episode we are fortunate to have Dr. Howard Forman of Yale's School of Management to break things down so we can understand what's happening and, more importantly, so we can all stay safe and healthy.

The global spread of the Coronavirus has introduced the concept of social distancing and shut down many businesses and offices worldwide. This has resulted in lots of people working from home - many of whom have never done so before. PC Magazine's Jill Duffy discusses her "20 Tips for Working from Home".

In this episode we will talk to an accomplished expert in non-verbal communication. Joe Navarro spent 25 years at the FBI working as both an agent and supervisor in the areas of counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism. Since retiring from the FBI in 2003, he has written several groundbreaking books on body language, has become a much sought-after speaker and corporate consultant.

We've heard a lot about public market opportunities in many of the "plant-touching" cannabis companies (growers and dispensaries). We're going to cover something much more interesting. In this episode, Tiby Erdely of Key Investment Partners will discuss early-stage venture investing in some of the ancillary businesses (like technology, biotech and business services).

Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert Shiller's new book is called "Narrative Economics" and it presents a new way to think about how stories can shape and even drive economic events. It's such an incredibly common sense notion that we're shocked that it's taken this long for someone to present it in a serious way. It was a fun and educational conversation and we hope you enjoy.

U.S small cap stocks are a standard component within most institutional asset allocation plans...but small cap stocks outside the U.S. tend to get little attention. Jafar Rizvi of Harding Loevner joins us for this episode. He is an expert on global and International small cap investing.

It's been over a decade since the financial bubble burst in 2008 - sending global markets into a financial and economic version of cardiac arrest.

He is the Janet Yellen Professor of Finance and Management at the Yale School of Management and the Director of the Yale Program on Financial Stability.
