Two years after its onset, the world's response to the COVID-19 Pandemic will be generational event studied for years. It is a reminder that tail risk events happen more frequently than we think. Pandemics have been a feature (not a bug?) throughout the American experience. POLLY PRICE's new book sheds light on the US government's response to epidemics throughout history- with larger conclusions about COVID-19 and reforms needed for the next plague.







Polly J. Price is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law and is also Professor of Global Health in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. A public health law scholar as well as a legal historian and citizenship and immigration law expert, she has published, lectured, and taught widely about immigration and citizenship, public health law and regulatory policy, federalism, property rights, and the judiciary. (She also had the "joy" of having me in her Legal Methods class when I was at Emory Law!)

Today, I have a challenging discussion with Dr. CHRIS HEYE, PhD, founder of WHEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS. We talk about the issues of older age on decision-making and how that affects an individual’s retirement. We go through data on aging and explore diminished mental capacity in detail.  Advisers will learn what to look out for in clients who may be suffering from cognitive decline or even Alzheimers disease, and what those advisers can do about it. Finally, we hear about the formation of Whealthcare Solutions and the data behind the firm.







* Data on aging. (It's alarming)* The expense and wealth redistribution taking place- with no signs of slowing down.* The story of Whealthcare Solutions.* Misperceptions of “diminished capacity.”* The surprising peak age for financial decision-making.* How does it affect advisers, and what can advisers do about it?* Warning signs.







The Wealth Management Industry is in a new and brave world as the tools and thinking around asset management and financial planning may be straining to catch up with the new demographics of country.

For advisers dealing with wealth management clients, cybersecurity is a necessary conversation. The wealthy are clamoring for digital protection. Advice on the defense against social media attacks, the selling of information on the Dark Web, online security breaches and asset theft are a part of the advice that most wealth management clients have come to expect from their advisors. How do you get your arms around this high stakes discussion?







Today I spoke with TOM RAGSDALE to find out more.

The Wealth Management Industry is in the midst of massive demographic change. Business models are evolving, old entrants are retiring or merging, technology is leveling the playing field. As a result, clients are demanding more value and the industry is coping with a rapidly shifting landscape.







As "Wealth Management" clamors for direction, new expertise to manage this change is emerging. With us today is MATTHIAS KUHLMEY, Chief Development Officer at Hightower Advisors and the developer of the "Disruption in Wealth Management" Module for Columbia University's Wealth Management program.







Matthias Kuhlmey began his professional journey as a trained musician, landing somewhat fortuitously in the field of global finance where he has been active as an advisor, capital market expert, and corporate executive for the past 20+ years.







Whereas the origins of his two worlds cannot be more different. Matthias has been passionately exploring parallels, especially in observing how technology has been disrupting both industries. Lowering the barrier of entry, preparing the path for a creative (r)evolution.







Matthias is a thought-leading critic of socioeconomic affairs, C-Suite executive of one of the leading firms in the independent space for financial advice, and lecturer at Columbia School of Professional Studies in New York City.

SHELTON WILDER'S WEBSa rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://sheltonwilder.

Few investors become so well known that they earn a nickname.







BILL GROSS was known as the "Bond King.".







A natural polymath, Bill ascended to the throne with his novel total-return approach to managing bonds and his outsized personality.  He built the PIMCO empire through hard work, ingenuity and cult of personality.  Some say he lost the throne through a mixture of hubris, distraction and bad calls.







A new book by former Bloomberg reporter, MARY CHILDS, describes it all.







Now the reporter and host of NPR’s PLANET MONEY, Mary has written the book: “The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market, Built an Empire, and Lost it All.”  It's out now via Flatiron Books.
