I talk to interesting people for @GravitasWins podcast. Here are the threads from those interviews 👇
I talked to @lijithomas2020 on Conversational Bots. You rarely meet experts who can speak in a language that everyone can understand in a calm and confident fashion. When you do, it turns into a memorable chat. Here are some of the clips from the conversation 🧵
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs. - Vance Havner I talked to so many folks who wants to achieve things in life. But then they stop. They don't take the next step. Don't just stare, step up.

Looking forward to speaking with @lijithomas2020 We are going to talk about the origins of conversational bots (surprisingly they aren't new), examples of successful commercial bots, and how to develop one. What other questions should I ask Liji?
For the 18th @GravitasWins book review, @keepkwizing is going to present The Psychology of Money by @morganhousel. Success in finance is nothing to do with smartness but it is all about how you behave with money. Will you be there?

I don't understand this. Crypto is not offical, but we will tax it. What does this even mean? Alcohol is banned in the state. But if you sell it we will charge GST on it 🤔 🤷♂️
