   Episode 40: AI Coworkers In Finance

   We talk about how AI is being used across the industry from roboadvisors to algorithms improving loans faster and more accurately than human underwriters. We discuss the collaboration premium, whether or not you would trust AI with your own money, problems AI might create, and the trust dilemma: At what point in a financial decision would you personally stop trusting AI output and demand a human? Where is that line and why?

   Episode 39: Institutional Tokenization In Private Markets

   Institutional tokenization in private markets has exploded in scale, but the biggest promise driving institutional adoption remains largely theoretical. While billions of dollars of assets have been brought on-chain, most tokenized RWA tokens show thin secondary markets and low trading volumes. Moreover, the illiquidity that tokenization promises to eliminate may actually be a feature private market investors depend on. We discuss the private credit market, challenges of tokenizing specific industries in the financial services space as well as Liquidity Illusion.

   Episode 38: How Iran Finances War: Sanctions, Shadow Banking, and the Dark Side of Global Finance

   In this episode, we talk about how Iran has moved billions through the global financial system despite decades of US sanctions. We dig into why sanctions keep failing, the role cryptocurrency plays, how evasions work through shell entities and front companies as well as the role other countries play in the mechanics of how the money moves. If you have ever wondered how a country cut off from the global financial system still manages to fund proxy wars across the Middle East, this episode is for you.
