Nicolai has excellent guests and the shows are informative. Most of the questions are “softballs” and Nicolai rarely challenges a guest or introduces a controversial topic. Therefore, the guests get a free infomercial but I always learn a lot.

I like most of the interviews and the host style in listening and asking simple yet important questions, one of my favorites was the episode with Stanley Druckenmiller. I was less engaged and stoped listening say with Accenture CEO that right in the first few seconds starts throwing AI buzz words as the flavor of the day.

Outstanding 1. No nonsense to the point key questions!! Does not waste time with “on the one hand..”. To that point Jane Fraser should be more concerned about Citi’s survival than problems of English misidentification! 2. Euro regulations threat: Wow! Within minutes key questions! Lots of blathery answers, typical for eurocrat. Takeaway: Regulation is dominant Euro “innovation”!

If you’re a young art historian who is also gearing up to enter the world of finance, there are few role models to look up to — Nicolai Tangen is the rare exception. His direct, no nonsense (but still playful) approach to asking questions cuts to the heart of complex issues both at the micro and macro level, and across all industries. Simultaneously cerebral and easy going, these episodes are a treasure trove of information vital for any young person looking to learn from the masters themselves. This podcast feeds my curiosity and makes me love life more than I already do.

The show is great. It is informative on an array of topics. It is accessible to someone who is not business savvy or familiar with specific industries. I just wish the host would ask more pressing questions. For example, what are these business leaders doing to address climate change? Do they measure their climate impact? Are they meeting previously set climate goals?

The host has so much access to interesting people yet he just keeps cutting people off from giving thoughtful answers and is so jumpy all the time without engaging with the guests. Such a shame.

Please turn down the transition music. There are episodes where it disrupts the conversation because it is almost twice as loud as the conversation. See the episode with the founder of Nvidia. Besides this, I love the podcast. Keep it up!

How about interviewing Yvon Chouinard

Host is rude, appears chauvinism and shows a disregard towards people’s country of origin (calls Jane Fraser English and when she corrects him that she is Scottish responds with “is that different?”).

What an amazing podcast, have truly enjoyed listening to every recording. The insights of these leaders are truly appreciated.

Great podcast! Nicolai directs amazing conversations with business leaders. I particularly like the range of industries—didn’t expect to learn about elevators and vaccines on the same pod. The “why are we wrong” questions are particularly intriguing, and I’ve enjoyed hearing the context about Norwegian ownership stakes and voting history. Excited to keep listening!

Glad I saw this on LinkedIn. “If we are not measuring we are not making progress. If we’re not progressing we are not growing. If we’re not growing then we’re not living.” Great share‼️ Keep sharing. Keep serving. Thank you.

Nicolau Tangen is a legend and have him interview the top CEOs of the world is a gift. Thank you for doing this
