4.7 out of 5 stars from 7 ratings
  • insightful conversations for authors and entrepreneurs

    I really enjoyed the episode with Matthew Lynn: Journalist and Author Turned Publishing Entrepreneur. His story about navigating rejections, embracing digital publishing, and building new opportunities from a back catalogue resonated with me as an author who also thinks about the business side of books. That’s what makes this show stand out — it highlights not only big ideas but also the practical realities of being an author and entrepreneur. Each episode leaves me with fresh insight and inspir... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeremy Sosabowski: Community Leader and Entrepreneur
Q: What problem does AlgoDynamix solve and how do you make money?
We forecast price movements by analyzing real-time trading transactions to understand how participants behave, rather than relying solely on news or fundamentals, and we monetize via subscription and revenue-sharing with funds and accounts.
Bryan Caplan's Case Against Education
Q: How should policymakers think about cutting or redesigning education?
Caplan argues for a focus on signaling-oriented reforms and potentially higher standards with selective credentialing, rather than indiscriminate spending, while acknowledging political resistance to cutting funding.
Bryan Caplan's Case Against Education
Q: If education signals so much, what does that mean for individuals deciding whether to pursue college?
The advice is nuanced: for individuals with strong academic potential but uncertain motivation, college can pay off, especially if they perform well; otherwise, considering vocational paths or targeted majors like economics can offer high returns with lower risk.
Bryan Caplan's Case Against Education
Q: What are the strongest arguments in favor of the human capital model, and how do you critique them?
Caplan highlights that proponents argue education builds skills that raise productivity, but he contends the evidence is weak once controlling for selection, and that much of the observed wage premium is driven by signaling rather than skill accumulation.
Ilana Gershon, "The Pandemic Workplace: How We Learned to Be Citizens in the Office" (U Chicago Press, 2024)
Q: Why do K through 12 schools seem to be such a complicated network of factors impacting decision making?
The complexity arises from multiple sources of authority, including school boards, principals, parents, students, and unions, each affecting how decisions are made regarding school policies.
