  #276: AI -- Best Practices?

  Aug 6, 202613 min

  When you hear the phrase best practices, are you excited for whatever explanation comes after it? It's a phrase that's representative of wanting to succeed and do our best, but the path doesn't always hold up especially in a fast-moving industry that has been injected with a new partner in AI. The mode of best practices presumes someone's already figured out the way, when really, we're still in the middle of figuring it out ourselves. In this discussion we’ll talk about some of the unfocused activity we're seeing right now, the temptation to just look around at what everyone else is doing, and why that instinct usually leads nowhere useful and definitely not to uncommon. If there's one thing to take away from this conversation, it's this: start with your core. Know what you're trying to accomplish, know your arbitrage, know your process — and then, and only then, ask how AI advances that goal. Let’s jump in.

  #275: Uncommon - The "Uncomfort" of Uncommon

  Jul 30, 202611 min

  Today we continue our conversation on uncommon insight, this time asking why it's so hard to actually get there, even when we can agree it's the goal. We talk about the discomfort of stepping outside professional norms, the habit energy that keeps us doing our job the same way, and why AI amplifying our ability to find uncommon understanding won't make it common because most people aren't looking to go there in the first place. Let's jump in.

  #274: AI Module Rock Bands

  Jul 23, 202613 minS1

  When you say "Now we are all going to implement AI into our investment process", does the energy in the room go UP? I'd guess probably not. Today we introduce a module that is simply getting us used to the idea that we can add AI into our processes in playful ways that make it less intimidating and more energizing. Let's jump in.

  #272: When the Map Does Not Fit the Territory with Jorgen van der Sloot

  Jul 9, 202619 minS1

  Today we’re continuing our work on encountering and moving through framework failures. Our instinct as investors can be to think harder, talk more, come up with our unifying theory and wait for clear evidence to show up. But Karl Weick's work points somewhere else entirely. Jorgen van der Sloot is with us today to dig into what it looks like practically to act our way into a new framework even before we fully understand it. Let’s jump in

  #271: Framework Failure and Response – Elise Jones

  Jun 25, 202621 min

  What if the key to navigating massive change and framework failure isn't about pushing harder, but about slowing down and getting into the space between? As we continue our work on framework failure and response, we're joined by Elise Jones, who has been through a few significant reframes, which may be why we delighted in a mix up of words that gave us a new path forward in our framework failure practice. Let's jump in.
