Sleep and Zakaria closed down the Nomad Partnership in 2014 because the FCA (UK's financial regulator) increased the compliance requirements that was particularly onerous for such small partnerships. When they returned the money to their clients in 2014, they told them to buy only 3 stocks: Amazon, Costco and Berkshire!
And the Huberman Lab podcast is great. Great topics, it could be a bit more structured sometimes, but that is the only minor caveat that I have.
Another other science-y podcasts you'd recommend? I'm increasingly realizing that podcast discovery is a difficult problem, and there must be a lot of great stuff out there that I don't even know exists...
Oh, I am sure there are many great podcasts that we do not know about. And given that a plenty of new podcasts are launched, it is worth doing a proper screening every month / quarter (what I used to do with books, apps, etc)
Science-y is quite broad, depends what you are interested in, how much extra reading you are willing to do, etc. I do not have a science background, so I prefer the more generalist topics.
American innovations - it is more about innovation history, but it is a fascinating one and I like Steven Johnson's (the host) style of storytelling.
STEM-talk and once in a while I try a new one on biology/biochemistry (e.g. Bio Catalyst), but not necessarily keep listening to them.
I didn't even know Steven Johnson had a podcast! I'm a big fan of his books that I've read. WIll have to check it out.
Have you ever checked out Omega Tau (they have german and English episodes)? It goes pretty deep, but I've learned so much about fighter jets and fusion reactors and such from him..
This newsletter is largely my way to share the interesting stuff I find, so that's kind of what I'm doing!
But here's a book that I loved -- very challenging, but very rewarding if you stick with it -- 'Gödel, Escher, Bach' by Douglas R. Hofstadter. I recommend it. I'm pretty sure it's one of these books that many people have started by few have finished, but I think it's a masterpiece.
Yeah, it wasn't the cleverest suggestion from me that we could just "compare notes", our interests, knowledge etc are more complex than a list or even a graph.
I have not dedicated the time for such a newsletter and I would not be able to cover as many topics as you do. I am still searching for my format...

Thanks for the extra detail on Nomad!

No, never heard of Omega Tau. I will add it to my list. We should compare notes (list of books, podcasts etc)! ;)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
