Show notes

My guest today is Aaron Brown, a finance practitioner, expert on risk management and gambling, speaks frequently at professional and academic conferences and author of "Red-Blooded Risk," "The Poker Face of Wall Street," and co-author of "A World of Chance." He was Chief Risk Manager at AQR Capital Management and one of the original developers of value at risk. At 8 or 9 years old Aaron would read the newspaper everyday just to see the sports and Wall Street numbers. Over time, he started to see patterns in those numbers and felt he might be able to make money off it. He came across a book at his library that mathematically proved he could "beat the house." At age 14 Aaron knew he could walk into a poker game and walk out with his opponents money. He gambled into his early 20's until he realized the real money to be made was on Wall Street.

The topic is risk management and gambling.
