Have you heard of the term 'k-shaped recovery'? Well, Peter was the one that immortalized that term to describe the post pandemic shutdown economic recovery.

Peter has a long history of being involved with the financial markets but changed his focus after the 2008 financial crisis and became a professor. His research focuses on confidence. Peter is an expert in how changes in confidence consistently and predictably impact our preferences, decisions and actions.

Please note that this was recorded in the late fall of 2021. 

In the mid-90s, Peter and Will Halby and their wives, Ila and Vanessa, teamed up to create a non-profit with a mission of organizing specialty camps for the disabled themed around music, art, theatre and sports. 

We are fortunate to have Peter join us for this episode and introduce us to the great things they are doing.
