In Good Company with Nicolai Tangen

Nicolai has excellent guests and the shows are informative. Most of the questions are “softballs” and Nicolai rarely challenges a guest or introduces a controversial topic. Therefore, the guests get a free infomercial but I always learn a lot.

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?
