Episode notes

I think that it's really important for both people in a position to establish policy, but also for the rest of the world too. I do truly think that you a most of the time benefit from being cautious and being a, you know, in your scenaria, planning, planning for a potentially the worst case scenario. And so that includes policy makers. Would also like, if you're an individualwh lost their job, like plan for these things, this to potentially last for a very long time.

In this episode, I speak with Steph Smith (@stephsmithio), the Senior Analyst for the popular tech and business newsletter, the Hustle. In our wide-ranging conversation, Steph shares her thoughts about the COVID-19 pandemic and what we can expect over the coming months for life and business.

We also discuss the complex nature of the virus, why the entire world missed its window to react, how these “black swan events” lead to second and third-order effects, why many people may default to optimism, and what data we should pay attention to.
