In Good Company with Nicolai Tangen

Outstanding 1. No nonsense to the point key questions!! Does not waste time with “on the one hand..”. To that point Jane Fraser should be more concerned about Citi’s survival than problems of English misidentification! 2. Euro regulations threat: Wow! Within minutes key questions! Lots of blathery answers, typical for eurocrat. Takeaway: Regulation is dominant Euro “innovation”!

Nicolai has excellent guests and the shows are informative. Most of the questions are “softballs” and Nicolai rarely challenges a guest or introduces a controversial topic. Therefore, the guests get a free infomercial but I always learn a lot.

I like most of the interviews and the host style in listening and asking simple yet important questions, one of my favorites was the episode with Stanley Druckenmiller. I was less engaged and stoped listening say with Accenture CEO that right in the first few seconds starts throwing AI buzz words as the flavor of the day.

If you’re a young art historian who is also gearing up to enter the world of finance, there are few role models to look up to — Nicolai Tangen is the rare exception. His direct, no nonsense (but still playful) approach to asking questions cuts to the heart of complex issues both at the micro and macro level, and across all industries. Simultaneously cerebral and easy going, these episodes are a treasure trove of information vital for any young person looking to learn from the masters themselves. This podcast feeds my curiosity and makes me love life more than I already do.
