    Hosts are a little insufferable. When they use words like “flywheel”, I cringe. Pod tries to be Acquired but without the research.

  • Arrogant host

    Joe constantly interrupts and overtalks his guests and co-host. Super annoying. I would love to listen to this pod because I’m interested in the subject matter, but Joe makes it unlistenable.

Scott Bok Explains What Investment Bankers Actually Do All Day
Q: Give us the sort of the 30-second Scott Bok career bio.
Bok describes starting in 1981, when the investment banking world was very different, with few bankers and no private equity or hedge funds, and explains how the industry evolved into a high-transaction, client-driven business with a stronger emphasis on dialogue, relationships, and later, the rise of private equity and broader capital markets activity.
Why NASA Hired a Chief Economist
Q: How did you come to that role, and what were you doing before?
MacDonald describes his path from studying space economics to joining NASA in 2008, where his work on venture capital, private sector engagement, and economic analysis evolved into the chief economist position during the Trump administration.
