We talk about Milo’s eight years in the Marine Corps, the study of intelligence agencies’ failures that come from the failure of imagination. Milo discusses his work reframing those failures. Milo emphasizes the importance of the quality of questions and diversity in analyzing complex problems. We talk about the big-picture geopolitical situation and so much more.
The mental models we examine can help us make better decisions in all areas of our life, including investing.
What can we learn from intelligence agencies’ failures? Please help me welcome Milo Jones.
