Search podcasts for Stay Tuned with Preet Dec 12 2018. It’s riveting.

The fifth risk is Michael lewis’s book.

Adding this link just because it’s the longest interview I could find. I don’t know how to post the podcast link securely but it’s tge best interview with him I’ve heard.

He interviewed people in our govt who are charged with risk assessment. . It’s a really good lesson, if chilling.

Barack and Michelle Obama have acquired the rights to the book for a possible Netflix series to better understand the U.S. Government.
