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”!

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.

The show is great. It is informative on an array of topics. It is accessible to someone who is not business savvy or familiar with specific industries. I just wish the host would ask more pressing questions. For example, what are these business leaders doing to address climate change? Do they measure their climate impact? Are they meeting previously set climate goals?
