What Got You There With Sean Delaney

James Carse is the author of Finite and Infinite Games and was a Professor and Director at NYU for 30 years. In his book he discusses the two types of games- “One could be called finite; the other infinite.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end, but infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play.  His book is one you go back to and reread again and again throughout the years. This is a fascinating conversation exploring interesting topics such as teaching, thinking, discovering what drives you and so much more! "The first challenge a teacher has is getting their students to realize what they know—to come to terms with their knowledge, and therefore, know the limits of their knowledge. That's where you begin to think. You don't think about what you know; you think about the edge of what you know."- James Carse  Checkout my Newsletter Connect with us! Whatgotyouthere Exclusive o

Gregory Zuckerman is a Special Writer at The Wall Street Journal, a 20-year veteran of the paper and a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb award — the highest honor in business journalism.  On this episode he discusses discovering your unique skills and using them to your advantage, how he’s developed as a writer and what it’s like covering some of the titans of business.  Greg’s latest book “The Man Who Solved the Market, and how James Simons became one of the most successful investors in history.” is one of Sean’s favorite books of 2019!  Jim Simons could be the greatest money manager of all time. To put this performance in perspective, $1 invested in the Medallion Fund from 1988-2018 would have grown to over $20,000 (net of fees) while $1 invested in the S&P 500 would have only grown to $20 over the same time period. Even a $1 investment in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway would have only grown to $100 during this time. Enjoy this episode with Best Selling author Gregory Zuckerman! Checkout my News
