The Sam Bankman-Fried episode of Odd Lots: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2p2Mfr20nDNmRxdNjCcmJe?si=2...

Specifically, the 7 minutes from ~19:40 - 26:30 where he talks about the $30M/day profit he made in 2017 by arb-ing the different prices of Bitcoin on Japanese vs. US exchanges. This demonstrated the difference between complex and complicated problems and how much of success in business is simply schlepping.

There’s an episode on Acquired with him where he talks about FTX. Would definitely recommend!


He recently came to Sam Harris's podcast to talk about how he is donating most of his wealth in accordance with the Effective Altruism movement.
