    The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 59 - Tom Bachrach - PREVIEW

    Joining me fr this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Tom Bachrach, CIO of PFH Capital, a value investing partnership in the Philadelphia area.

    Several of Tom’s letters to his investors caught my eye in recent months and so I invited him onto the show to talk to me about how an investor looking for undervalued, sustainable businesses goes about navigating the new investment landscape - one of rising rates, falling inflation and ever-escalating madness.

    Our conversation took numerous twists and turns from value investing to debt and, eventually, onto energy and each of those turns made for highly thought-provoking discussion.

    The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 58 - Matt Barrie - FULL EPISODE

    The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 58 - Matt Barrie - FULL EPISODE

    Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is the Sydney-based CEO of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie.

    Matt was recently invited to give the opening keynote at the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sydney 2050 Summit and, it’s safe to say that, once Matt left the stage 40 minutes later, the room had been stunned into silence.

    The Australia Matt laid bare was a long way from the idyllic, sun-kissed ’Lucky Country’ of popular consciousness and far more in keeping with the portrait painted in the pages of Things That Make You Go Hmmm... over the last several years, so it was with great relish that I invited Matt onto the podcast to tell that same story and discuss the reaction to it.

    The full text of Matt’s stellar speech can be found HERE and a video of his opening keynote is HERE.

    I’d strongly urge listeners to either read or watch Matt’s speech in full. It is, as they say Down Under, a ripper!

    The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 55 - Matt Stoller - PREVIEW

    Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Matt Stoller, former Congressional staffer and author of Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy and the excellent Substack BIG.

    Matt’s work on the threat posed by monopoly power is exceptional and, in this fascinating conversation we cover the challenges he’s faced in taking on Big Tech monopolies, the anti-capitalist consequences of monopolistic corporate power, his experiences on The Hill during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and his bipartisan approach to changing the current political landscape in the United States.

    There’s so much at stake as large corporations tighten their collective grip on the throat of the consumer and Matt offers an insightful look both backward and forward in trying to assess where things went wrong, and how they might be fixed.

    The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 54 - Danielle DiMartino Booth - PREVIEW

    Joining me on this edition of The Grant Williams Podcast is returning guest, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, LLC in Dallas, TX.

    Danielle’s knowledge of the inner workings of the Federal Reserve has been invaluable both to her clients and the broader financial community in recent years and her analysis of the predicament in which the Fed finds itself and the fast-disappearing options at their disposal to extricate themselves has found a hungry audience.

    This time up, Danielle explains her latest thinking on the state of the economy, how we might be facing an abrupt economic air pocket, the political vulnerability of House Speaker McCarthy, and even the odds of the US splintering via a series of succession movements.

    It’s compelling stuff, folks!

    The Grant Williams Podcast: Shifts Happen - Episode Five PREVIEW

    The Grant Williams Podcast: Shifts Happen - Episode Five PREVIEW

    Episode Five of Shifts Happen brings into focus the recent ’quickening’ around the de-dollarization narrative and the impossible-to-ignore elevation in comments from world leaders questioning the logic underpinning their forced adoption of the US dollar in many cross-border trades.

    From the numerous bilateral trade agreements being struck that circumvent the dollar to the rising percentage of cross border trade being conducted by China in renminbi, Grant and Luke discuss the crucial difference between the dollar as a reserve currency and its role as a reserve asset - one of which is coming under significant threat, one of which remains rock solid.

    The extraordinary level of dogmatism on both sides of the argument comes under the microscope and Luke turns to Lucille Ball for an analogy which provides the perfect illustration of the problem facing the US Treasury.

    Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including The End Game, Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, This Week In Doom and the new series, Shifts Happen, featuring Luke Gromen is available to Copper and Silver Tier subscribers at my website Grant dash Williams dot com.

    The End Game Ep. 43 - Steve Eisman PREVIEW

    The End Game Ep. 43 - Steve Eisman PREVIEW

    Bill and Grant return for a no-holds-barred conversation with the great Steve Eisman of The Eisman Group within Neuberger Berman. Steve is no stranger,  thanks both to his exploits during the GFC and the stupendous portrayal of those exploits by Steve Carell in the movie version of Michael Lewis’ wonderful book, The Big Short.

    Steve explains the history of paradigm shifts and tells us why he feels we are at the point of another major change - not only in the investment landscape but also in broader society. 

    The recent meltdown in the mid-size banking sector comes under the microscope, as do Fed policy, lofty valuations, a likely return to a more familiar investment world, the tech reckoning and the purveyor of a certain set of ETFs focused on ’exponential growth’ stocks.

    Fun for all the family!


    As a reminder, Silver Tier subscribers to https://www.grant-williams.com get access to both Things That Make You Go Hmmm… and all editions of The Grant Williams Podcast, including The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, This Week In Doom and Shifts Happen so sign up today!

Educational and eye-opening

This podcast is a true macro gem. Latest episode with Luke Gromen is a combination of two sharped minds providing their insights and perspectives of what is happening and coming. I couldn’t recommended enough

They Parse Signals from the Noise

Devoting a podcast to this agenda is a noble cause. Hubs like this, where opinions (both agreeable and contrarian) are allowed to be heard and respected are exceedingly scarce in this strange leviathan that is modernity.
