It’s the start of a new year and with it comes an opportunity to re-evaluate your trajectory and
set your goals for the months to come, whether they be financial, personal, or all of the above.
Kicking things off for today’s episode is our conversation with Steve Balaban, a private equity
insider with a refreshingly realistic and practical perspective on private equity. We talk with
Steve about investing in private equity, the benefits and drawbacks every investor should know
about, why due diligence is essential, how private equity interacts with investor psychology,
and much more. Tuning in you’ll also learn about the Private Equity Certificate offered by CFA
Society Toronto in collaboration with Mink Learning and how listeners can gain special access
to these training tools. Next, we take a look back at our conversation with Ayelet Fishbach from
the Booth School of Business on the science of motivation and goal setting and the contents of
her new TEDxChicago Talk The Science of Getting Motivated. We wrap things up with a review
of Justin Breen’s book titled, Epic Life: How to Build Collaborative Global Companies While
Putting Your Loved Ones First, followed by our conversation with the author on the
transformational power of naming your year, the power of networking, and other key lessons
from his book. For all this and much more, be sure to tune in and start 2024 armed with
insights from some of the best thinkers around!
