Hello and welcome! It's Daniel here, the author of LangChain for JavaScript Developers.
Today, Iām thrilled to share my conversation with Luca Dellanna, a consultant, author, and expert in behavioral economics and management. I discovered Luca through his books Ergodicity and Winning Long Term Games, which had a serious impact on how I think about decision-making. In this episode, we dive into his insights on risk management, ergodicity, and leveraging AI, while also exploring his writing process and career journey.
