What if you could find a system that maximized luck and generated outsized returns?

A method based on decision science that led you to make better choices - in both your business and personal life.

That’s exactly what Daniel Kang did. He learned how to use asymmetric bets to win scholarships that paid for his education, as well as to raise millions of dollars to fund his startup.

He then used this principle to land a book deal with leading business-book publisher Wiley & Sons.

Today Daniel Kang joins us here to share what he’s learned as the CEO & co-founder of a Y-Combinator backed startup Flowbo, as a venture capitalist at Softbank’s Vision Fund and how what he learned in pilot training taught him about running a business.

His new book “The Super Upside Factor: Asymmetric Principles that Will 10X Your Life” is a practical playbook to maximize luck in life and career.

The book is a must read for anyone looking to apply the principles that have enabled a few companies to outperform - even in challenging environments.

Daniel used asymmetric bets to elevate himself out of poverty and to become a wildly successful entrepreneur and recognized author. Let’s unpack what’s behind this methodology and how we can apply to in our lives.

2025 has gotten off to what might generously be described as an ‘uncertain start’.

The one thing people want right now is clarity. Or at least some idea of what might be the next impact on supply chains.

One of the most consistent issues facing sourcing directors and supply chain managers has been logistics.

After years of unprecedented disruptions, logistics could be the one blessing in an increasingly chaotic sourcing landscape.

To get an insider’s view of what we might expect to see this year, I sat down with Zvi Schreiber, founder and CEO of Freightos, the leading digital booking platform for the air and ocean freight industry.

In addition to founding Freigtos, Zvi is a recognized LogTech leader. He previously was CEO of Lightech (acquired by GE), and of Unicorn (acquired by IBM). Zvi holds a PhD in computer science and is author of Fizz, the history of physics in a novel, and of Money, Going out of Style, which explores money & economics.


In this episode, Zvi will be sharing his insights on:

- The impact on air cargo that a removal of the de minimus exemption might have.

- What could happen to ocean rates if carriers return to the Suez Canal.

Almost everyone in a senior leadership position these days feels the pressure of a business environment that has become increasingly uncertain.

At the same time, the pressure to drive both growth and profitability has never been more intense.

The pain is being felt by large-scale organizations, as well as start ups as the market becomes much less forgiving that it was even a year or two ago.

Today we are joined by Mark Josephson, a three time CEO who’s successfully built, led, raised capital for and sold companies - including Bitly, AOL Regional and Castiron - across multiple stages of growth.

He currently coaches CEOs and senior leaders in the strategies and insights they need to drive growth and success while maintaining balance.

In this episode Mark will be discussing:

- Surviving an acquisition
- The hidden challenges of running a startup
- What he refers to as ‘multi-hyphenated’ careers
