Informed by their unique expertise as professors at one of the world’s leading business schools, their takes are always surprising, unconventional, and insightful.

Mihir, Felix and NYU’s Dolly Chugh discuss the pressure on business leaders to conform to the demands of woke capitalism. Should you give in? Push back? What are the risks and rewards? Also: Feeling low lately? Chances are you are just getting older. We speculate why most people go through some sort of midlife crisis and talk about ways to better cope with life’s seemingly inevitable ups and downs. (Originally aired Nov. 2, 2022)
In case you missed it: In this episode, Felix, Sarah and Mihir discuss Chat GPT, if AI is truly transformational, the future of search, and how to digitally detox from all this AI talk. (Originally aired March 1, 2023).
Our Predictions for 2024

Our Predictions for 2024

2023-12-2750:027

What’s in store for 2024? Mihir and Felix are back with their celebrated predictions episode. Will OPEC implode? Are quant funds in trouble? What’s Argentina’s future? Can inflation in the U.S. really sink to 2%? Is plastic the new asbestos? Who will acquire Electronic Arts? Is AIML a verb? Listen in as the hosts (foolishly) predict what the new year will bring.
The Stories of 2023

The Stories of 2023

2023-12-2055:502

Felix and Mihir reflect on the most important stories of 2023 including the remarkable rise of AI, the revolution in life sciences, the rising power of employees, the trial of SBF, how product market strategies are reflecting shifting financial logics, the reasons for increased warfare, the disjunction between financial markets and the real economy, the shocking rise of school absenteeism and the wonder of Simone Biles. 
Felix and Mihir discuss how JPMorgan has managed to succeed where others fail and how late bloomers manage to succeed after sometimes failing. 
Felix and Mihir discuss the meaning and impact of the increasing concentration of stock market performance via the “Magnificent 7” and the source and resolution of conflicts on campuses. 
Felix and Mihir discuss how Sam Altman was fired and reinstated over the course of just a few days. Was the board right to dismiss Altman? Does the turmoil change how we think about hybrid organizations that combine nonprofit and for-profit motives? What does the episode teach us about the future of AI? Plus, we look at the reasons why men now die even earlier than women. What do the numbers say about being male today?
Will Africa fulfill its remarkable promise in the next several decades?  Is a land tax the best kind of tax?  Would it solve our housing crisis?  All that and more on this episode of After Hours. 
Felix and Mihir discuss how copyright applies to AI-generated works. Are AI companies guilty of mass infringement? Could users be sued if they use AI to generate texts and images? Wouldn’t it be right to compensate authors for their contributions to AI models? Plus, a decade in, what has the corporate purpose movement accomplished? We look back and take a glimpse at the future.
House Music

House Music

Felix, Sarah and Mihir consider whether real estate brokers add value, how the world of brokers will be transformed by a recent lawsuit and consider whether investors should be buying music as an asset class.
In this episode, Mihir and Felix discuss consumer finances, which are remarkably healthy. The average U.S. household now has a net worth of more than a million dollars. But if things are this good, why are we so angry? Why lament the state of the economy? Plus, we talk about Tesla and the market for electric vehicles. Has it reached its nadir?
Bond Market Bedlam

Felix and Mihir are joined by friends to discuss their stories to watch this summer, including the bust up of Sequoia, pricing, Gen AI, sports stories, the FTC and PBMs, Amazon in healthcare, and the future of theatres, travel, unions, brand activism, energy tax credits, interest rates and the war in Ukraine.   
Felix and Mihir are joined by Christina Wallace to discuss the meaning of a portfolio life and why U.S. workers are happier than ever but less productive. 
Taking a week off!

Taking a week off!

Taking a week off!
Felix, Mihir and their colleague Kristin Mugford debate the merits of using bankruptcy to shield companies from consumer lawsuits. Should we allow companies to bundle lawsuits, place them in a designated subsidiary with few assets and let that subsidiary go bankrupt? Might this actually be better for consumers who claim to have been hurt by defective products? Doesn’t everyone deserve their day in court? Plus, what is happening to prices of luxury goods? Are we looking at the next bubble?

I enjoy playing video games as a typical individual. And having played a variety of games, I can say that the ones I've purchased are worth the cost. Because the developers put in a great deal of time and effort to create the perfect game and render the most detailed graphics. Try https://run3donline.com to understand what I mean.

Spotify's lead in promotion has skyrocketed for many reasons related to their accomplishments, but mostly due to a combination of the "immaturity" of Spotify's advertising business and the still nascent podcast advertising market. But I still recommend you to visit https://promosoundgroup.net/collection/streaming-promotion/spotify-promotion/ which I used to promote my music on Spotify and have no regrets, they really helped me achieve a significant result.

Having a game that people enjoy is a good thing. It gives them something ave in common is that there areto talk about, keeps them busy and may even allow you to make some money out of it. But one thing most sports h rules. Here you can visit https://evolutionnotes.com/ and learn more new things about the player. These rules, although mentioned throughout the game, rarely get explained until someone gets kicked out of the game for breaking them. This leaves some people confused and others mad.

Loved the Bank of Papa idea. I tried to do something similar around compound interest with my kids, but used excel and my online brokerage account. But I love the simplicity and tangibility of Mihir's idea. Am gonna start that this weekend!
