Conversation tests an idea in a different way from writing. It requires a clear explanation, a direct response to an objection, and a willingness to say where the answer remains incomplete.
Subjects for discussion
My interests include investment judgment, the relationship between markets and institutions, the practical work of building a business, technological change, and the value of historical context. These subjects often overlap, which is part of what makes a thoughtful conversation useful.
Interviews and invitations
For an interview, podcast, event, or other editorial inquiry, please provide the subject, intended audience, proposed format, and relevant timing through the contact page. An inquiry does not confirm participation.
Background
The biography, experience, and education pages provide background. Please use the original photograph shown on this site and describe qualifications as stated. Publication of an interview or excerpt should retain its context and identify the source.
