In Season 1, we're studying fraud and financial crime. We'll be covering some of the most famous frauds in history, like Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, Sam Bankman Fried and FTX, Enron, and more.
Throughout the season, I'll be trying to answer a few major questions, including:
How do fraudsters win trust? How do otherwise intelligent people get deceived?How can you best guard yourself against fraud as an investor and entrepreneur?What are some common red flags that warrant further scrutiny?These are the books we'll be studying in Season 1:

Better Than B-School is the podcast where we discuss the books that will make you a better investor and entrepreneur. Every season covers a specific topic—everything from fraud to political power, disasters to public works projects— and each episode covers a different book within that topic. Our goal each season is to answer big questions, uncover common trends, and build a database of actionable insights we can apply immediately in our businesses.
By studying these books, we'll chart our mental maps, improve our judgment, and increase our effectiveness as business builders and capital allocators.
