On today’s episode P3 Adaptive Principal Consultant extraordinaire, Narayana Windenberger sits down for a chat on data, travel, and the ethics of the financial markets. Nar is a 5-year veteran of P3 with an unforgettable name and a penchant for being a digital nomad. Whether he is working from the Midwest, Germany, or enjoying hang gliding in San Diego, Nar puts the remote in remote work and regardless of his location, still creates epic analytic masterpieces.  Nar also has the distinction of being the author of a P3 Adaptive blog that shook the Power BI world to its core in 2020 and earned him the title of Power BI Super Villain. His blog on the DAX function invented to optimize other DAX made such an impact that a disclaimer had to be placed to temper the responses.

It isn’t all fun and games, though, Nar, Rob, and Tom also delve into the inner workings of financial markets and hedge funds and attempt to differentiate between the evils of a hedge fund and the potential benevolence of a hedge fund manager. When are losses a gain and gains a loss? Listen to today’s episode to find out!
