Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Vivek Ramaswamy discuss ESG investing, the culture wars, the upcoming US presidential election, and Vivek’s recently announced candidacy. Vivek is an American business leader and New York Times bestselling author of “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” along with his second book, “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.” Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he often recounts the sage advice from his father: “If you’re going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding.” This set the course for his life: a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard and received his J.D. from Yale Law School while working at a hedge fund, then started a biotech company, Roivant Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved. In 2022, he founded Strive, an Ohio-based asset management firm that directly competes with asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, and others, who use the money of everyday citizens to advance environmental and social agendas that many citizens and capital owners disagree with.

0:00.0	Hi everybody. I'm very happy to date to talk with Vivek,
0:19.2	Rameswamy, who has just announced his candidacy for the American presidency and is going to
0:26.6	well hopefully change the political landscape in doing so. Vivek is an American business leader
0:32.1	and New York Times bestselling author of Woke Inc. Inside corporate America's Social Justice Scam,
0:39.8	along with his second book, Nation of Victims, Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path
0:47.2	Back to Excellence. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he often recounts the sage advice from his
0:54.4	father. If you're going to stand out then you might as well be outstanding. This set the course
1:00.7	for his life, a nationally ranked tennis player, valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier.
1:07.0	He went on to graduate, Sama-Kom-Lade, and biology from Harvard, and then received his JD
1:12.1	from Yale Law School while working at a hedge fund. He then started a biotech company, Roy Van
1:18.1	Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that became FDA-approved.
1:26.7	In 2022, this is an important side note. He found and strived an Ohio-based asset management firm
1:32.9	that directly competes with asset managers like Black Rock, State Street, and Van Garde,
1:38.8	who use the money of everyday citizens, that includes you, by the way, to advance environmental
1:44.2	and social agendas that many citizens and capital owners disagree with. That's a far more
1:49.7	important issue than you might think, and we're going to discuss that law as we proceed through
1:53.7	our conversation today. Well, hello, Vivek, and everyone watching. It's on here on the YouTube
2:00.4	platform. I'd always good to have everybody's time and attention. Vivek Ramaswamy, who I'm
2:04.8	talking to today, is running for president, which seems to be quite the preposterous thing to do
2:10.8	for anyone. I would say this next 2024 election is going to be some interesting contest as far as
2:19.4	I can tell. We're not going to have seen anything like it. And the fact that you threw your hat in
