Dr. Smith studied mathematics at UC Berkeley and earned a PhD in systems science from the Watson School of Engineering at SUNY. He serves as chairman of the board and executive director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles and is a regular columnist and guest on outlets such as CNN, BBC News, MarketWatch, Forbes and NASDAQ.com.

Tune in to hear:

- What is systems science and how might it be applied in a financial context?

- As a society, has our thinking become more systemic or more siloed in the past 20 years?

- Productivity is highly correlated with humane structures in the workplace - why do we seem to be so averse to this idea and see humanity and productivity as opposite sides of a spectrum?

- How is global uncertainty, and our attitudes towards uncertainty, shaping the markets today?

- Not needing the money in your investment portfolio for life expenses greatly improves investment success. How can we make this truth pragmatic and attainable for people who do need the money?

- At what point do we run with the herd temporarily, even if we disagree in some respects?

- What can we learn from market cycles?

- Get a sneak peak into Dr. Smith’s upcoming book ‘The Risk Manifesto.’
