What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Building a successful business is hard. Building one that lasts is even harder. The jobs market is tough. Industries are evolving. AI is advancing. How do you adapt and stay ahead? I'm James Reed, Chairman and CEO of Reed, and host of the All About Business Podcast. Every Monday, I sit down with founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs who've built extraordinary businesses, the people who get things done. I ask them about the decisions that mattered, the risks they took, the mistakes they made, and what they'd tell you to do differently. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated. By how successful people think. You'll hear honest conversations about the good, the bad, and the ugly of building something that lasts.
If you want top insights and actionable advice to apply to your career or business venture, listen to James Reed, All About Business. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you next time.

Bloomberg Audio Studios,
Podcasts, Radio News. Joe, three hours of Eurodollar market history and we can't get enough.
I love that. I couldn't even believe that was real. Just sitting I I'm being totally uh sincere, just sitting there in the studio listening to Lev and Josh talk about the history of Eurodollar. It's a career highlight, unironically.
Definitely a treat. I do feel like there's one thing missing, which is like we kinda have to put everything in modern context. Yes. Right? We didn't really bring it that up to date. We talked a little bit about the Euro dollar's role in like the two thousand eight crisis. There was a mention of it. But like let's talk about the current Euro dollar market.
Well, can I say something? Yeah. Lev, don't listen to this. Whenever we talk financial market plumbing or things of that nature, oh this is like really fascinating. Like this is really interesting topic. And then I was like, how does this matter to anything at all? So I would like to no, so I would like to actually talk a little bit more for real about like how does it actually matter? Because I find it very interesting, but I sometimes forget like when environment. It like why did we talk about this for three hours? For real,
for real.
I did a deadlift.
I'm both the most popular trader and most successful trader at Citadel.
Fed is going viral.
Uh barges.
This is an after school special, except
I've decided I'm gonna base my entire personality going forward on campaigning for a strategic pork reserve in the US. Black gold! These are the the important questions. Is it robots taking over the world? No, I th No,
I think that like in a couple of years the AI will do a really good job of making the Odlots podcast. One day that person will have the mandate of heaven.
How do I get more popular and successful?
We do have the perfect guest. Welcome to Lots More, where we catch up with friends about what's going on right now.
What is the purpose of the “Lots More” episode with Lev Menand?
Because even when oddlots is over, there's always lots more.
And we really do have the perfect guest.
Well, Lev Menand is here with us and he's gonna provide an update on uh the market. He is, of course, an associate professor of law at Columbia School. So Lev, thank you thank you for coming on and talking to us even more about Euro dollars.
I also think this is a topic that we could just keep doing episodes. No, for sure.
Do an all thoughts spin-off on Euro dollars.
All the good topics are fractal in that you could just go di this is a core thing I've realized, is that actually the good topics, the only limitation on how many episodes you could do is creativity and depth.
