Episode 22 - Zero to One

1h 0m · Published 09 Feb 07:00

Hi guys! Today I am talking about the unique book on innovation and progress, "“Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future” by Peter Thiel. I'll admit that when I first picked up this book, I had low expectations. After all, I thought it would be just another business book written by some rich guy who thinks he has something important to say. But I gotta tell you, this one caught me off guard a few times. If you're interested in hearing a weird guy talk about another weird guy's weird ideas, then you came to the right place! You'll enjoy this one!

Thanks for listening, and thanks so much for your support!

54m · Published 03 Feb 08:00

Hello, my friends! Today I am talking about the dense but rewarding book "Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street’s Great Foreclosure Fraud” by David Dayen.

They navigate a hostile legal landscape and take on some of America’s biggest institutions head on. If you’re ready for an underdog story, you came to the right place. Enjoy the show!

Episode 18 - Red Notice

58m · Published 21 Jan 12:00

Hi guys! Today I am talking about the political thriller, "Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Quest for Justice" by Bill Browder. This book is a look behind the curtain into the gangster oligarchs running Russia from behind the scenes, how they seized power after the fall of the Soviet Union during the era of privatization, and how Vladimir Putin rose to become the kingpin of the whole thing. The book was written by an American who finds himself caught up in a political struggle between all these parties, has a good friend murdered, and ends up on an Interpol most-wanted "Red Notice" board. The Russians want him bad, and if you want to know why, you'll have to listen to this episode! I think you'll get a kick out of it.
