Ollie on Work Tyler Cowen: Creativity, Talent & AI
It’s a special episode today. We recently celebrated the 200th episode of the Future Work/Life podcast, which coincided with the same milestone for my guest’s show, "Conversations with Tyler."
Tyler Cowen is an economist, columnist, blogger and podcast. He’s a professor of economics at George Mason University, founder of the Marginal Revolution blog (which he’s been writing daily for 20 years), and a columnist for Bloomberg.
Tyler and I delve into various topics in this episode, reflecting his diverse interests and expertise, including his recent book GOAT, which explores the greatest economists of all time, and his previous work on talent in collaboration with venture capitalist Daniel Gross. Our conversation also ventures into unexpected areas like football and dating!
