Episode description
It’s a special episode today. We recently celebrated the 200th episode of the Future Work/Life podcast, which coincided with the same milestone for my guest’s show, "Conversations with Tyler."
Tyler Cowen is an economist, columnist, blogger and podcast. He’s a professor of economics at George Mason University, founder of the Marginal Revolution blog (which he’s been writing daily for 20 years), and a columnist for Bloomberg.
Tyler and I delve into various topics in this episode, reflecting his diverse interests and expertise, including his recent book GOAT, which explores the greatest economists of all time, and his previous work on talent in collaboration with venture capitalist Daniel Gross. Our conversation also ventures into unexpected areas like football and dating!
TALKING POINTS:
- Writing and podcasting: Tyler reflects on his journey as a podcaster and writer and how these roles have influenced his thinking.
- GOAT: Tyler shares why he published his new book in GPT and what we can learn from asking questions like an economist.
- Music and creativity: I ask Tyler about his passion for music and its influence on his creative endeavours.
- Future of work: Tyler's views on the impact of AI on jobs and productivity, especially in knowledge work.
- Remote work trends: Remote & hybrid work's impact on productivity, culture, and talent development.
