Episode 64: Dr. Brian Klaas, Ann Berry & Jacob Helberg

In this episode, Anthony is joined by Dr. Brian Klaas, author, associate professor in Global Politics at University College London and columnist for the Washington Post. Together they discuss Brian’s new book ‘Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How it Changes Us,’ which challenges the basic assumptions of rising to power, what might happen when you get there - and explains whether power corrupts, or corrupt people are drawn to power. Next, Ann Berry, financial analyst and chief investment officer at Wheelhouse Group joins Anthony to give us insight into the current financial markets, explore whether DeFi is the arena where the most exciting innovation is happening - and talk all things women in finance! Finally, Jacob Helberg, author, senior adviser at the Stanford University Center and adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies talks with Anthony about his book ‘The Wires of War: Technology and the Global Struggle for Power,’ which looks at the global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the autocracies of China and Russia - and discuss whether the mainland Chinese government will attack Taiwan. Follow our guests on Twitter:https://twitter.com/brianklaas https://twitter.com/AnnBerry_NYC https://twitter.com/jacobhelberg Follow us:https://twitter.com/moochfm  https://twitter.com/scaramucci  Sign up for our newsletter at:www.mooch.fm Created & produced by Podcast Partners:www.podcastpartners.com
