Somehow I agreed or volunteered to give 6 talks on different topics to different audiences during a two-week period. Maybe I need to use Google calendar with some sort of spacing feature.
Giving talks is fun, and it’s a public service, but this is ridiculous.
Niall Ferguson should be so lucky.
The money part seems to involve telling hedge fund managers what they need to hear to manage anxiety about their unprofitable macro bets.
A:
Hey, I’m willing to tell hedge fund managers what they want to hear! And I do give talks for money (not Ferguson or Cuddy-style money, but real money nonetheless) to corporate audiences. I’ll draw the line at bro-style humor, though. Not from principle, but I just can’t carry it out with Ferguson’s panache.
