Graeme Codrington's Future of Work

One of the dumbest things we do in business is force people to retire, simply because they hit a specific date in the calendar, even though they might be excellent contributors and still want to continue working. As individuals, most of us already know we can't afford to retire in our sixties (especially if we are going to live much longer than previous generations). And many of us would rather save to give ourselves flexibility and dignity, rather than merely to be able to afford to stop working. The concept of retirement needs to change, for individuals and organisations.

The fourth (of eight) conversations with Carel Nolte about the future of investing where we talk about alternative investment options, asset classes for the future, and how we can get children interested in investing. As always, we also talk about wine, and this time chat about an interesting blend made by an interesting wine maker, Erika Obermeyer. If you're not a fan of the wine conversation, skip a few minutes to the end to hear Carel talk about getting future generations involved in future investing.

If enough of you do that, I can afford another bottle of Erika's wine).

Imagine a world in which we don't eat meat from animals. No, not a world with no meat, but a rather a world where our meat is grown in labs, rather than on animals. And no, not fake or artificial meat (from soya or plants), but rather meat grown from animal stem cells, indistinguishable from "real meat". In fact, it IS real meat. If we can do this, and ensure that it is healthy, economically viable, sustainable and ethical, the question is: would people eat it. I think they will. And I think it's coming sooner than you think. Welcome to Throwforward Thursday. Welcome to tomorrow's world, today.

In this mini-series, my mate, Carel Nolte and I talk about the future of investment, the importance of wealth creation and I get to dig into some of Carel's insights from his work at Easy Equities (a South African investment platform that you can check out here: https://bit.ly/3Pdd2qN - no obligations, but full disclosure: I earn about $2.50 if you activate an account after you've had a look). We also talk about wine, because Carel and I never talk seriously about anything without wine... This is our third conversation, and Carel suggested we go back to the basics - to the very foundational principle of investing: DIVERSIFY. But he explains (in between sips of a fantastic red blend wine with lots of interesting, diverse grape varietals in it - see what we did there...), that maybe diversification can mean something different now than it did in the past. I hope you're enjoying these conversations as much as I did when I had them with Carel.

We are all afraid of something, whether it is snakes, spiders, sharks, the dark, heights or something else. Could technology provide solutions by helping to train our brains to respond in different and less fearful ways? The answer, of course, is YES, and it is already happening.

This is the second conversation with my mate, Carel Nolte, where we talk about the future of investing, specifically about the ways in which we can build intergenerational wealth. The so-called "American Dream" from a century ago was that if you worked hard, your children could live a better life than you did. This dream should be the mantra in Africa for the next few decades, and it involves thinking differently about what we do with our money, the land, employment and investments.

There are no simple solutions here, but these are the right conversations, and Carel brings some wisdom from what his team at Easy Equities are seeing as ordinary South Africans build wealth and a future. Carel and I also savour a fantastic Cape Blend from Idiom wines, that helps us prove the point about leaving an investment to grow better over time.

There are a lot of diamonds in the world - a total of about 6 billion carats (weighing around a million kilograms), with around 140 million carats mined every year. But known reserves will run out within a decade or so. That won't be the end of diamonds, though. We can now make diamonds in labs.

Not "fake" diamonds - we can make real diamonds. But do we want to? Do you care, if you don't know the difference? Either way, we are facing the end of our current relationship with diamonds in the very near future. Diamonds - it seems - are NOT forever.

So here it is: the first of my series of conversations with Carel Nolte. We are long-time friends who often get together to talk about life, the universe and everything - almost always with a bottle of wine. We decided to record our conversation about the future of investing, so you could listen in. I am doing research for a new book, and Carel brings his years of experience at Easy Equities to the discussion. The result is 8 conversations, each about 8 minutes long, with 8 bottles of wine. Why not?

In this conversation, we talk about RETIREMENT, what it should look like, how to save for it, and why you should start now no matter what age you are. We also talk about champagne, MCC and what glass you should drink it from - and a fascinating fact right at the end. PS. If you're interested in what Easy Equities does, it is a South African-based investment platform. Check it out (no obligations) by using my referral link: https://bit.ly/3Pdd2qN (Full disclosure: I think I earn about R50 or so if you sign up and start trading. Thanks!)

One day late, but that's because I spent yesterday with my good mate, Carel Nolte, talking about the future of investing and what he has learnt from his work at Easy Equities - an innovative investing platform based in South Africa.

This is a quick introduction to a new series of 8 videos of Carel and I talking about the future of investing. Over the next 8 weeks, I hope you enjoy listening in to our discussions.

Here is a quick bonus episode of the Future of Work podcast, sharing an insight I discovered in a report from O/Slash. There's a hidden and surprising reason young people don't want to come back to the office: they waste a lot of time being tech support for older colleagues. Here's how to fix that, and build a better team culture. Report available: https://www.oslash.com/google-it-first
