This week Dr. Robby Ratan speaks with Scott Galloway, a New York University Stern Professor of Marketing, founder of the business ed startup, Section4, author of "THE FOUR, THE ALGEBRA OF HAPPINESS" and "Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity," blogger of "No Mercy / No Malice" and the host of the podcast the "Prof G Show." He’s also been Ratan's parasocial running partner for the past ~year (i.e., his podcasts help distract Ratan from his turtle pace).
Galloway shares his thoughts on podcasting/media engagement, the intersection of gaming/virtual goods and crypot/NFTs, and the self-serving (current) nature of academia.
