#56 - Podcast Season Update

Market Meditations

I thought I'd give you guys a little preview on the next bunch of guests we booked for our podcast Market Meditations, where it is the goal and job of Chris Haydel and myself, Neal Mody, to become better human beings and hopefully better investors. We take deep dives into doing our best to learn about how the world really goes together and hopefully being able to synthesize that information into making better decisions, across life. Next week we're going to have Ketan Patel to talk about mushrooms and data. We've got a pretty interesting adviser at my venture fund, Zoic, named Ketan Patel. A big data scientist, he spends a fair amount of time mapping the uses for both psilocybin and marijuana.

Actually, she was the general counsel there and she helped the big sale to KKR, a big private equity fund, helped sell I think GoDaddy for a little over a few billion. And now she puts all of her time and effort into the Prostate Cancer Foundation founded by Michael Milken.

Lahav is a super peaceful human being who looks at design thinking in a way that I think is particularly uncommon. He's helped design a number of products that are actually in hospitals today. He's exited seven companies in the medical device space.

Ramesh is a radiology oncologist and a Japanese acupuncturist, and he practices both. And he's maybe amongst the most researched person I've ever met in medicine, looking at everything from how to use light therapy to the Vasper bike, which might be worth Googling. Ramesh is going to share a little bit about how to optimize your daily moods and modes and get the most out of your day.

He's got us pitched in computer vision, which is essentially a combination of a neuroscience degree and a software engineering degree and pretty interesting guy. He does a fair amount of talks on artificial intelligence and how most intelligence is actually artificial, as you've heard Chris and I talk about. Bio here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/agrawalmudit/ So we've got a great list of guests coming up for you, and if you have any suggestions for any other guests we should have in the future, please do let us know. We'd love to hear from you. Don't forget to rate us five stars and we look forward to you joining us for these episodes in the coming weeks. Stay safe, everyone.
