With all the UAP/UFO talk I’m reposting a couple of chats I did with @PaulDabrowa and @rosscoulthart last year. (Terrible optics from me as I was ill and they’re Australian so middle of the night for me as well.) #ufo#uap
In the latest Leaked Lunch podcast I sit down with finance expert @huwsteenis, now at Oliver Wyman, and previously an advisor to the BoE's Mark Carney on the future of finance and all matters CBDC. We chatted "Britcoin", fintech and ESG. Highlights below:
On CBDCs Huw tells me "I'm afraid I didn't recommend a CBDC, but that's partly because the bank itself was updating its core banking system which was the largest IT project in the history of the Bank of England"

the State of the World" in its 1973 Davos Manifesto.
