Before we get going, here's the bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should be considered as investment advice.

This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.

So, while we hope you find it both informative and entertaining,

please do your own research or speak to a financial advisor

before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets.

And now, on with the show. Welcome everybody to another episode of the 100-year pivot.

Joining me, as always, the Don Quixote to my Sanchez-A-Panzar, Dimitri Cthutlidis.

Hello, my friend.

How are you?

I'm great, man.

You know, I was making breakfast right before we jumped on this call. And I was thinking, as I was very calm and relaxed, and I was like, man, I love this new format of doing these episodes of Grant where I don't have to spend all this time preparing. And I can just kind of walk in, turn on the microphone, we can have a conversation.

Like, I like this lifestyle. No, I'm a big fan. It's such you. I mean, listen, we know you are the most prepared man in show business. But, you know, as I said at the beginning, I think that the very nature of these conversations means that they're going to take us and spin us off in all kinds of directions. And I think the more flexible we are

and where we go with them,

I think the better.

I mean,

we've already experienced that.

It was. going to take us and spin us off in all kinds of directions. And I think the more, the more flexible

we are and where we go with them, I think the better. I mean, we've already experienced that. There were some of the things we've talked about with our guests so far. We haven't had a chance to talk about this, but I don't know what you're, I mean, I get, in general, I get great response from people. People love the show. Yeah, like, I get tons of emails for people saying, like please don't stop these hundred year pivots.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know what makes us stop because I don't think we're going to sort of it out. We might either get too hopeful or too full of despair. That might make a stop. But until then, we will keep going. And we'll keep going again today with a great mutual friend of both of ours, Peter Atwater, joining us. Peter, as an adjunct professor at William and Mary College, and the author of the terrific

book The Confidence Map, which he published, I guess it was last year. And his work on mood and

confidence is absolutely groundbreaking. He's the person to go to. And so with mood and confidence

being such important components of all the things that we're talking about, it felt like a perfect opportunity to get Peter on to come and talk about their place in the pivot and try and help us understand what they look like, how to recognize them and where they might both be at the moment and where they might take us to you.
