Michael Lewis- Sports Betting, Challenges Facing Youth, & Fall of Sam Bankman | Prof G Conversations

CMichael Lewis, a New York Times bestselling author and the host of the podcast Against the Rules, joins Scott to discuss the state of sports betting, the challenges young men face, and the controversy surrounding his book, Going Infinite, which explores the rise and fall of Sam Bankman Fried. 00:00 Introduction 01:00 In Against the Rules, you call sports betting a 'great social experiment.' Where do you think it's headed? 03:37 You've said gambling can be a disaster, especially for young men. What needs to change to address this? 07:50 Do you think introducing on-demand gambling is creating bigger problems for society? 11:14 You’ve said your book faced similar criticism to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk for not revealing everything while it was happening. Do you think that criticism is fair? 17: 05 Can you talk about what Sam Bankman-Fried did and how people missed the real value of his company? 19:41 What did John Corzine do, and how does it compare to what Sam Bankman-Fried did? 23:27 Do you think the difference between Corzine and Bankman-Fried is just brand management? 25:31 What was Carolyn Ellison's role in the FTX collapse? 27:18 What would you tell young people who want to follow your path? #scottgalloway #podcast #Corzine #ftx #crypto #cryptocurrencies #gambling #youth #elonmusk #bankman #profg #scottgalloway #profgmarkets
