Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 53: Christian Angermayer - Founder of Apeiron Investment Group
Q: How did you decide to drop out and start your first company with two professors as mentors?
He explains that the collaboration with his tutors created a compelling belief in a large opportunity beyond the initial plan. The combination of strong mentorship, a clear scientific potential, and a credible vision allowed him to take a leap and pursue entrepreneurship despite missing traditional pathways, leading to an early public listing via SPAC and setting the stage for Apeiron.
Episode 53: Christian Angermayer - Founder of Apeiron Investment Group
Q: Tell me about growing up in Bavaria. What was your life like there? What kind of kid were you?
The guest describes a rural upbringing in Bavaria, a sheltered childhood, and a structured teen years framework that he later realized was valuable for his ambition. He explains that this early environment contrasted with the relentless pace of entrepreneurship later, and he notes how the stability of high school life gave him a clear sense of right and wrong, while also highlighting that the drive to keep building never truly stops.
Episode 54: Michael Shvo - Chairman and CEO of SHVO
Q: What is your daily routine and how does it sustain your performance over decades?
I start at 4:00–4:30 a.m., study Torah, work out, and follow a rhythm of spiritual and physical discipline before tackling work. This routine keeps me grounded, focused, and continuously learning, which I find essential for making high-stakes decisions.
Episode 54: Michael Shvo - Chairman and CEO of SHVO
Q: Tell me about your childhood. Where did you grow up and how did it shape you?
I grew up in Arasuf, Israel, with parents who were academics. I was focused on survival early on, slept on a floor in Harlem after arriving in the U.S., and learned the hard way what it takes to hustle. Those days taught me resilience and the importance of being able to adapt and endure hardship to reach long-term goals.
Episode 50: Ian Livingstone - Co-Founder of London Regional Properties
Q: If you had to give one piece of advice to a 16-year-old, what would it be?
Focus on your passions and don't do things just for money. When you see an opportunity, assess its risk and return and go for it.
