Angela Chen: Asexuality Is Pretty Complex and That's OK
"The book you do a really incredible job of giving the as sexuality. One one that doesn't necessary without dumbing down or oversimplifying thing I think for me my biggest takeaway sounds obvious in hindsight. Biggest takeaway is how many different ways there are to be a sexual and I hate to say it. But I did not know that it was this umbrella term that encompasses such a broad range of experiences you find a that is a common misconception. It is so common and you know there's part of me that's leg come on everyone it's been a while like we should be caught up. There's this other part of me that is so so synthetic and I. Think. Some of it has to do with language right because a sexual it's not a word someone made up. You know people already have associations with it. So it's just not intuitive that you would call someone who maybe has positive sexual experiences a sexual, right? Just semantic level people are like, what does that mean? So I totally understand why people would not understand. It's an umbrella term would not intuitively know that there's such diverse range of experiences under that but also. I feel like it is time for us to be having that conversation and moving away from about one image of asexuality even for people who think they know what it means they think it means like, Oh, you just don't like sexy repulsed by sex, but it's so much more than that. That's such a great point before reading the book I would've told you that asexual people do not have any desire for sex or romantic relationships and that is the case for. Some, but in no means the entire community. Do you mind just giving us the definition that like we should be thinking of for a sexuality? Absolutely. So the official definition is a sexuality means you don't experience sexual attraction which seems simple enough right but then you have to be like, okay what is sexual attraction and most people think it means, oh, you just are repulsed by Sax you don't WanNa have sex, but sexual attraction is not the only reason to have. Sachs. Example I always use which I, don't love as metaphor, but it was just a food better for it. There's foods that you love and you're attracted to quote unquote there's food repulsed by and there are some food that like they taste fine. But because you associate them with like your best friends in college in like that social senior, there's like an emotional reason while I won't speak for you. I'm an emotional eater, right? So I feel like there's all these wants is there to make it really simple. It's possible to not experience sexual attraction without being repulsed by SAX to be basically sex in different but because there's so many other reasons to have sachs. Emotional reasons like you might be bored or you really love someone or you want to feel attractive desired sexy that can hide for many people donate sexuality, and that's all of these nuances and all of these complexities I think for many people maclear community we first began to discover and understand our sexual orientation through sexual attraction. Only to oversimplify right I'm sexually attracted to men I must be gay without that component. Can you talk about how you spurious attraction and like what you base those feelings on? That something that's really complicated. So one thing with sexuality is that in some ways de orientation is based on what you don't experience. So then you have to kind of explain what is it? You don't, which is beard philosophical question rape. So for me like when I feel attracted someone this romantic sense, it's basically like having a crush on them right like I want to date them like I could see as being romantic partners and I even have an. Aesthetic type you know I always say like do not get me wrong. I have a type it's not like everyone looks the same to me. Some people are hot. Some people are less heart don't get me wrong but there's not like a sexual motivation for it and I think that can be really really hard for people to feel out and understand can be so many nuances and also want to make clear that being a sexual is not the same as. Being a romantic because Saxon. Romance aren't the same right I think most people would agree so many people sexual and they are say Hetero matic or their pan romantic or by romantic, and there are some people who is actual are a romantic thing that they just don't expand traumatic attraction to others the of course, they might love their friends at their family very much. It's so interesting compared to non x people to have to come out of the closet because. We can discuss our sexuality talking about the broader terms, dating relationships, and yet you coming out as half discuss sex sex has to be in the conversation. Does that pose challenges like say parents when you don't want to talk about sex with them? Yeah absolutely. So the funny thing is my parents just don't know the book is about it's funny because if you Google my name like books and come up with into second jewel, it'll stay on the jacket copy. You know in her own experience as actual journalists but I'm just not out to my parents in part because it just it really feels like I'd be talking to them about my sex life in a way that I don't think it would be the case if I were is actual or vice actual for example, and I've talked to other aces about it and they've said the same thing where it feels almost more inappropriate you know like they kind of A. Conservative not hyper conservative but a little bit of a conservative workplace and it feels like if I were to talk about my sexuality, it just seems much. It is not done. There you the way it might be okay to talk about other orientations, right? Because like marriage equality passed for many reasons. But one of them is because we reframed it to be about love and relationships we moved away from sex but for asexuality we don't actually have that option did. It take a while for you to become comfortable with that label for yourself absolutely, and I think in many ways I still feel I still feel some ambivalence about it. You know I like talking to other aces other people the crew community because I feel like I can be more honest. You know there are people who still say sexuality doesn't exist you're just repressed or maybe there's something physically medically wrong with you and because there's so many naysayers of course. There is this pressure to dig your heels in and be like not only my actual I love the sexual twenty, four seven. It's the best thing in the world because you don't want to give them any room to invalidate you right and so I think when I'm with people who are queer or who are as there's more, there's great things about it, and in some ways I've internalized some anti sentiment and sometimes I feel about it. So it's a long process.

Diversity in Photography
"Welcome back to another episode I'm your host Frederik van Johnson. Today I'm talking with my friend Karen Sacks. We're GONNA be talking about her new accidents, not even that new, but it's a it's a service that you may not have heard about its. Services a good name for Karen can explain what what the loop is all about, but it is a, it's something. Like this carrying you can tell me if I'm wrong, it is something that is serving a niche that is severely under served right now, and she's at the right place at the right time with the right product cares acts welcome to the show how's it going and it's going great. Thank you so much for having me and great description of of what we're building at the loop. WAS THAT AMORPHOUS? You it was. It was why don't I? Can. Go a little bit deeper and. What we like to say is that we're building a platform that is connecting the world's best diverse photographers, commercial professional photographers with brands around the world to make great work we want to help brands get content. Simply we WANNA simplify that process and we want to help photographers especially underrepresented diverse photographers get work. So we're bringing those two together our platform, the loop. Wonderful. That sounds like you you practice for. Maybe once or twice. Saying that a lot lately. To, the elevator with with. Man. Musk at your kitchen, you know. Right, exactly that's my elevator patch. Has Perfect Elevator pitch. Okay. So let's let's rewind I wanNA dive into the loop and kind of understand you know at a at a DNA level what it is you built and are building. But let's let's understand who cares. Sachs's I swear what's your? What's your pedigree that brought you from A to B. Sarah? No problem. So I have been in the industry for close. To twenty years, it sounds a little crazy to say that twenty years But that's how long it's been. I started my career at National Geographic I actually backing up a little bit started taking photography classes in high school like many photographers they always put in there about me section on their website that somebody gave them a camera when they're fifteen or sixteen years old. Similar similar for me I started taking classes. Photography classes in high school fell in love with it decided I wanted to major in photography. I went to the University of Michigan where I studied photography. I have a BFA photography I also have. A degree in American culture. So I did it be in American culture I felt like I needed both of those to take me where I wanted to go in my career yet I didn't know where I wanted to go in my career. I had this idea that I wanted to be at national geographic like many photographers many young aspiring photographers who wanted to go to national. Geographic I had my heart set on it. I. Didn't know what that would look like for me. I didn't know how I would get there. I didn't know what I would do there but I. Knew I. needed a career in photography and I wanted to start there and that's what I did when I graduated from the University of Michigan in August the following summer at the end of the summer I, moved to Washington DC and I started a job at National Geographic Kids magazine as a photo assistant and worked my way up to a photo editor. I. Was there for four years. It was an unbelievable experience I would ride in the elevator speaking of elevators I would ride in elevators with photographers whose work had been studying in school and I would be so nervous. I often wouldn't know what to say to them. That it was they were my heroes, my superstars they were who I wanted to be around into study their work and to know their images and I loved taking my film to get dropped off at the at the film lab at National Geographic. How cool that there was a film lab there and yes, we are still shooting film in those days. And I would be you know right next to Steve McCurry are Jodi COBB and that to me was the coolest thing. So I was there for four years and over that time I, realized that my place was not behind the camera was not being a photographer it was working with photographers. So I started to get a glimpse of really what I wanted to be doing and with each move I made in long career I got closer and closer to what it is that I wanted to be doing. So after I left geographic, I moved up to New York and I started freelancing for the Wall Street Journal. Started meeting a lot of photographers being in studios with them kind of understanding how they operated, how they worked, how they got jobs, and from there where did I go Martha Stewart Martha Stewart living in I was a director photographer on the merchandise side at Martha unbelievable experience I felt like I was working with the best of the best actually where I met my husband and I worked on all of her different product lines overseeing the photography for the product lines working with Martha on a couple of. Shoots, which was an incredible experience and I also after I left there. I went to a place called Archive. I skipped one I was at Corbis for a little bit Corbis, which is now part of getty images in the stock photography world. So I was getting glimpses of different aspects of the photo industry starting with editorial moving into commercial with Martha's products moving into stock photography. At Trunk Archive, I worked with high end photographers, Boutique photo, agency So so I kept kind of building I. Think these are all building blocks. And then more recently, I was at shutter sock for five years. So that's when I really understood what it meant to build products and to work for a company in the photo space. And then that has led me to the loop,

Brandon Taylor: Would Rather Be Alone, Thank You Very Much
"This is not the typical queer character that we're used to reading about. Yes he's black. He's a scientist but on top of that, he doesn't fit into the gay male stereotype usually presented of gay men being sex obsessed is that something that you want to push back on you know I mean I wouldn't say push back on because I think that that is like gay men sort of feeling free to express their sexuality or people in general being able to express their sexuality is really an important part of like. And feeling like you can. You can do that without being persecuted by the law. So it wouldn't say something that I wanted to push back on because I think it is an important part of your life but I was interested in sort of telling a story that feels closer to my own and trust in my own way of being in the world and I know many Queer people who? Are Not sort of sex centered and were Sachs's sort of a thing that exists but it's not sort of something that we're interested in pursuing necessarily, and so it felt important to me to sort of tell different kind of story. But I I don't really see it as being in opposition to those other kinds of stories i. think it's you know we're all part of the same party it's great. Knowing Gotcha. You've written before to about like your view on relationships and sex and I just think again comparing that like the history of literature and Hollywood like were sold this myth that if you're not in a relationship, then your life is not fulfilled. was that something big that you would get over absolutely ages ten to twenty, eight or something I was. Really relationship obsessed and I really really wanted relationship. But I thought that if I didn't have a relationship that I wasn't worthy of love and I wasn't a worthy person and I had all these myths many of the internalized from culture I. I will say and so it was really only like when I turned twenty twenty nine or is kind of like. Oh I really like myself like I like the human I. Am I am an interesting person i. don't need someone to desire me to feel worthy or fulfilled in coming to that place in my own life. Allowed me to sort of imagine you know characters who existed beyond the realm of like. They won't they will get involved in relationships, won't they? It became a much more interesting set of questions to me to sort of understand how a person exists in the world if I kind of set that relationship question aside. But it was really only after like working on my myself that I was even able to kind of see how you know becoming relationship obsessed. It's not that it's an unworthy thing, but it was just kind of like, oh, it's not the only thing that I can do my wife. And then just to clarify, are you not interested in a relationship ever or is nothing that you're like spending time pursuing? I, it's nothing that I didn't spending time pursuing. You know I had a boyfriend for the first time ever in two thousand eighteen and we were together for about a year and it was a really wonderful relationship and and you know it was a great. Like of my life and it was really wonderful. But I I sort of had this sort of growing awareness that I kind of just as good as that was, I think I craved solitude more and rather than letting that relationship get to a place where I was feeling resentful or where I was feeling like negative towards this person that I cared so much for like why not just call it good and be like you know this relationship was really beautiful and really wonderful. But I think I I would rather be by myself I like that more and so I don't feel the need to stay in this relationship if it's only going to become resentment you like it's only going to turn. Turn this great beautiful love into resentment I kind of left that relationship to sort of be alone to sort of thing, and and to be by myself and you know maybe I'll change my mind you know down the road, but I'm just trying to follow. What makes me happy because for a long time in my life I felt as though choosing my own happiness was not only not an option but was also a deeply selfish and really offline. So I'm just trying to unlearn a lot of this toxic west. From the culture and loud you open and talking about it just because I've been single for a long time like in terms of long-term relationships and I get the look of sometimes like what is wrong with you Yes I and I thought that for a long time you know like I felt that. But when I told some friends that I had broken up with my boyfriend to sort of be alone all my some of my friends were like, okay. But like why wasn't it good I was like It was wonderful but I like being by myself more and they're like I don't understand you boyfriend like I could tell that you know I had kind of stepped down in the world by choosing to be alone and I could tell because people started treating me differently you know what? I got a boyfriend people sort of like, ooh Oh, look at him. He's so globally and they treated me better when I had a boyfriend and when I. Chose to leave that relationship people's treat started treating me worse it. So I do think there is something very real to that idea that society likes people paired off and a single person disturbs.
How I Built This
Briogeo: Nancy Twine
"The easiest part about building a business is the day you imagine it in your head because everything that happens after it is really hard the research, the business plan the pitch to investors finding the factory, the distributor, the shops to sell your product. Each one of these steps is an obstacle and for the most part, each step creates a new problem. Too many problems can become overwhelming and soon enough it can also become tempting to just ditch the whole idea entirely. So to avoid that trap. Nancy twine took each problem one at a time, which is good because her idea was pretty complicated. To build a line of natural shampoos and conditioners without most of the synthetic ingredients you'd find in other hair care products. She also wanted to design a line of products for all hair types and textures, and she one of those products on the shelves of Sephora one of the premier beauty retailers in the world all of these problems Nancy would eventually solve her brand. is now carried by Sephora and is expected to do almost forty million dollars in sales this year. But to get there especially with zero experience in the beauty industry was gonNA pose a series of major challenges starting with finding a chemist who actually believe you couldn't make this stuff without parabens or sulfates or phthalates, or any of the other common chemicals you need to make shelf stable shampoo. Biggest early challenge though was having the courage to start the business at all. It was two thousand and ten and Nancy was in her twenty s on the fast track is a trader for Goldman. Sachs. In New York. And one day without any warning. A tragedy completely upended her life and prompted Nancy to reevaluate the way she was living at which we'll get to. Nancy grew up on Long Island New York her parents split up when she was a kid Nancy's mother was a physician and the twines were one of the few black families in their neighborhood. My mom was a family doctor and I don't even know if that term is quite used anymore. And I do remember at a young age being at her doctor's office and it was always full. You know a lot of people ask me where I got this very confident entrepreneurial experience from but I think that there was so much value and power of me seeing my mom running a successful practice really running a business. My Mom was an entrepreneur in seeing that at a young age seeing her confidence seeing her joy and the fact that being a female being a black female was not a hindrance. To any of the dreams and goals that I would ultimately have in life in red like as a kid used to go to West Virginia Lot. But what's the connection to to West? Virginia he asked. So my mom is from West Virginia. She's one of eight children and my grandmother is from there and that's where she raised her tribe and a very small rural town called Rand R. A. N. D.. What did you know about her upbringing? I mean it's like I. Think to this day. It's one of the whitest states in the country and obviously one of the poorest states in the country did she ever talk about what her childhood was like there? Yeah it was. It was definitely a tough childhood. They didn't grow up with a lot and the fact that my mom grew up in that type of environment not only not having an a lot but not being able to see what success and beyond that lifestyle could look like because. so much of wanting to become better. Or becoming successful comes from seeing other people who look like you that have done it. And when you don't even see the possibility but knowing within you that it exists in having that faith and belief in yourself. It's so so powerful and that was very much my mom's

Goldman Sachs $3.9B settlement with Malaysia over 1MDB
"Sachs has reached nearly four billion dollar settlement with the government of Malaysia for its role in the alleged theft of billions of dollars from a government investment fund known as one MD. Our reporter lives. Hoffman has more on one of the worst scandals in the bank's history. The allegations against Goldman are basically that the bank turned a blind eye to red flags with one MVP. And that it failed oversee two of its senior bankers who have been accused and in. In one case pled guilty of being part of the scheme. It's important to note that the settlement today does not resolve an investigation into Goldman by the US Department of Justice, which still wants its pound of flesh. We reported late last year that the DOJ was seeking a guilty plea from the bank or or a subsidiary and wanted to install someone to overhaul its compliance

China orders closure of US consulate as tensions escalate
"Let's get to this. China's story escalation overnight. It's important, isn't it? I thought we had big trade deal going on their. Beijing is revoking the license for us. Consulate in China. After US ordered China's Houston conflict to close by today. I wonder how POMPEII is. Speech is being taken over there, too. I mean. He stopped short of regime change, but. I mean it almost sounded like he was going there for a while? The truth is that our policies and those of other free nations resurrected China's failing economy only to see Beijing bite the international hands the feeding. Eunice Yoon joins us up with the latest. High, Eunice, yeah, now it did, but as you said he did stop short, but when he was talking about China in his blistering speech, he described it as a Frankenstein. That's what struck me that he described it as a Frankenstein that was created by the policies of the free world. And he was essentially calling on all countries within the free world to. Unite against a Communist China saying that if the free world allows China to continue. Pursuing its path that that could potentially change the free world so. It was a speech that the foreign ministry did not like they called it. Full of ideological bias said that it was. Unattached to reality? But it did take some measures specifically out on the consulate in thome do so that conflict is now going to be shutdown of the state media said it's going to be within seventy two hours so by Monday and the Foreign Ministry also accused the American staff. There of interfering in Chinese internal affairs state media the the reasoning. Of. Why China chose tone do. Is this. It's essentially one of the smaller consulates compared to the others. It's seen as not having a huge impact on American business, but at the same time would hurt because the media. Have pointed out and quoting experts as saying that that's where America. A gathers information on strategic weapons in the region and also gathered information on the situation in Tibet. So the reason why this is being explained in the state media is because the messaging is that Beijing wants to show that it's tough. It wants to be able to match what the US is doing at the same time. It wants to say there's a little bit of a door open because we don't want to have an escalation of tensions, even though, of course it's seems really difficult. To see where it all heads

It would include risk analytics. It would include data, sources, execution services, and of course ultimately click to trade with Goldman Sachs Marquee is our ecosystem. What we found during this period. Our clients were engaged with it more than ever before. Before, and so of course it wasn't only Goldman Sachs that was working from home. The entirety of our client franchise was doing the same, and the efficiency of that ecosystem became incredibly important during this period, and I really liked the growth prospects that I saw with Marquee Kee, no, during the stresses and strains that we saw in the capital markets. There's a bunch of other platforms that were also focused on were making a big investment, if I think about the largest client gap that we have in the division. Division it's with better servicing systematic quantitative funds in the Equity Division and so we have a reasonably sized gap that we're looking to close to better service and support systematic funds and the number. One way we're going to do that is by having a world class execution tech stack, and here you have to have one that's robust globally to connect to a bunch of individual markets, including the emerging markets globally, and were currently in the process of reinforcing and really rebuilding the entirety of that tech stack that we. We hope systematic clients will find valuable, and ultimately will lead to deeper relationships with those clients if we get it right with systematic clients will also be able to migrate that stack, and use it more prominently across the entirety of our global franchise, and so when I think of my role now atop division in terms of managing our operations, not technology the robustness of it how clients engage with us? It's not only top of mind. It's literally one of the most important things that I do on a daily. Daily basis so beyond key DC other areas for Rothe. Obviously you could grow the digital footprint and better interact the clients division. We have a large number of strategic growth initiatives across both equities and fixed income. No one of the things we've been talking a lot about is growing financing revenues, and that's true inequities, but it's equally true in fixed income, but when I think about the single biggest opportunity for us, it's the continued investment in clients interesting, but in clients, no front and center and everything we do. Do and the progress. We're making I. Think the good news is we're seeing material progress, but equally I think there's a lot more client wallet share at we can gain in the coming years, and so we've been busy closing client gaps wherever they exist, but were by no means exhaustive effort when we look at things like the top hundred clients globally, and where we ranked in the top three with those top one hundred clients again we're making progress but I'd say there is sufficient runway in front of us. US that if we keep executing flawlessly in terms of our client, engagement and client franchise I think we can still demonstrate berry very significant growth in our global markets division. So Jim. That looks like you've been back in the office a bit. What is it felt like? And how do you feel about socially distance trading war? How's it going to work? Yeah I've been back now for a couple of weeks and when I reflect on this period and when I talked to a bunch of clients, a bunch of. Of Goldman Sachs professionals, you really struck by your just how personal this period has been for everyone and everyone's got a different set of circumstances and experiences and Kobe has impacted no people globally and a very very different way I can send a personal level. I was working for home for a couple of months, and it was just really a nice period in a sense of it was a period where I think I formed a deeper family bound I have three teenage boys, two of whom were at boarding school. School they came back to do home schooling and it was a really fantastic time to spend time with the family. I was working from home. They were doing home schooling. Those connections were something that wouldn't have happened as easily and so it was a special special time. Now that I'm back in the office, you know we are getting up and running here in London. We have about twenty five percent of our trading floor employees back in the office. We are functioning I think in a very matter we are. are running a socially distance trading floor, which does have its unique challenges, but the thing that we believe in Goldman, Sachs, I'd say. Is there a couple of reasons why over time we are going to make a bigger pivot and have people come back to the office? No, the first is no. Our intake at universities is quite significant. It's incredibly important. It's really the lifeblood of our organization to take in no really quality junior people and train them up and so when I think about running our trading businesses. Businesses, we need to train the next generation of Trader Salesperson Engineer and strategist and to do that I. Think we have to come together in a very apprentice base model that is harder to do virtually than it is physically, and now that we're getting into the time of year where people are coming into Goldman to start their careers were very focused on how we're going to get them trained up and I think it is going to be important for us to get people back now. The second thing I'd. I'd say is just around. How people come together when they collaborate I think that's when innovation happens and I think we will be more innovative with our people working together and coming together physically I think innovation has stalled a little bit, even though we have been operating efficiently working from home, and so those are things that we've been thinking a lot about now. Look my last point around. This would be i. think there are going to be some things from this period that we borrow and take through to. To be a very different operating in business model in the future I, definitely believe will be able to be more flexible with our workforce. Clearly, we demonstrate it. We can operate efficiently and put up solid results with people working from home, and so the idea or notion that we will have a more flexible workforce which I like to think can foster more diversity in the workplace is absolutely something that were thinking through. How much flexibility for whom? How would all work I? Wouldn't say we're that far along in. In terms of our thoughts around it, but I definitely envision a working model that will be more flexible in the future. I think that working model is more flexible. That should have ultimately helped champion and foster a more diverse workforce. No doubt about that. If we can get there and I agree, it's very different for those of us who have experienced and connections and networks for us to be out of the Office for a little while we can draw on that experience on those people much different for someone. Someone. WHO's starting in industry or in any industry? Just trying to learn that? Thanks for joining us today Jim. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Jay is going to be here.

"For the euro. I would highlight three things. The first is that the euro is very cheap, so the dollar is expensive. The Euro is cheap. We put long run fair value for the euro dollar exchange rate around third so today one twelve. You are deeply undervalued, and we see that reflected in conventional things like the Europe, your areas large trade surplus, his otherwise strong balance of payments picture so the euro area. Seem to show the classic signs of very competitively valued exchange rate achieve exchange rate second. We think that the euro area is likely to have a steeper and smoother recovery from the corona virus recession than the United States in part that reflects the deep hole that Europe is coming from, but it also reflects better virus control. We've seen the reopening process. Proceed pretty steadily in Europe with limited effects on the outbreak, so it more successful reopening process we think may mean a little bit faster European growth over the coming quarters, lastly through the crisis, we have seen some important structural changes in Europe's fiscal architecture that I think are very important to. To recognize in particular, the recovery funded proposal from Europe from Germany and France is a big step forward to more fiscal risk-sharing, more burden-sharing across the euro area, which had been a feature that many observers had criticized many investors at pointed to as reasons to be reluctant to be long European assets on a structural set, so Europe's fiscal architecture is kind of coming together during the crisis, and we think that that's an important factor to remove tail risks for the common currency so cheap valuation more cynical, upside reduced tail risk I. You put those together in the euro area. Picture looks relatively attractive with more upside downside risk for the euro currency. So you've talked a lot of investors around these views, he getting any push back from active investors on your views on the euro versus the dollar. Yes I think that. These views do resonate to a degree with many investors, but we certainly get plenty of pushback as well and I would say that's primarily from equity investors. At this point, many equity investors look backward and see the really substantial US market outperformance US earnings growth outperformance compared to your over the last five or more years and questioned whether European companies really have the capacity to outperform on a sustained basis the US firms so that's really where a lot of the debate is among international investors at. At, the moment is whether European corporate earnings can keep pace or outperform US corporate earnings. We think that's a possibility and we've warmed up. Our equity strategists had warmed up on the case for European stocks relative to the US market, but I would say that's really where a lot of the pushback in debate is in currency markets today, so before Kobe head always talked about in these conversations was the US. Election that's stayed a little bit in significance for investors, but it is coming to. To the forefront again now as the risks around Kobe become at least clearer, how might the outcome of the US election affect turns markets? This is definitely getting more attention in currency markets. Today we would highlight a couple of specific policy proposals for trends that could affect the dollar or other currencies. The first is the corporate tax rate which is in focus across a lot of markets, including currency markets us, corporate tax rates. Go Up. Hold all else equal. That would make US shares A. A little bit less attractive on a relative basis to their international peers, and that could have some implications for the dollar. The dollar strength in late twenty seventeen, as the corporate tax bill was being passed moving towards passage in late two thousand seventeen, so we see the reverse of that over the coming years that could lead to some of these temporary dollar weakness on the back of that the second topic is really around tariffs. You know the disputes between the United States and China I. I? Don't think anybody thinks a really going away. In a longer term sense, but Vice President Biden does seem to have a lower appetite for using terrorists specifically then president trump, so we do think that in abided administration tariffs that have been imposed on China and maybe other tariffs as well could be rolled back, and that would tend to be a positive for the Chinese yuan relative to the dollar as well as other of China, sensitive currencies for example like the Taiwan dollar lastly I. I think one big picture. Point is worth mentioning you know. Currency markets are partly affected by the United States role in the world. The world holds a lot of dollars reflecting the United States is historical role in the world. If that's undergoing change that could have currency market implication so in recent years we have seen these efforts toward de-dollarisation, reflecting this trend countries trying to find a way to have fewer dollars. Their foreign exchange reserves your dollars in their crossborder trade, etc in second trump. Trump term where the US is pulling back from international institutions and changing the way that it's Ostra in the world we could see those efforts continue, and that may have some dollar implications in the long run, so we do think it'd be. Election is a potentially important factor for the US currency. In my view, the tariffs issue is probably the most direct and meaningful for ambassadors over the next couple of quarters are Zach well lots of talk of delegation over the years and yet never. Never seems to really get that. Much momentum was act. Thanks for joining us today. Saying discussion, thanks for having that concludes this episode of exchanges.

"The cusp of seeing a little bit of a change in millennial habits in terms of home by any changes. Come out of this crisis longer term difference in in those trends. I do ends MED. L. Point back to two thousand eight in two thousand eight saw large number if Americans decide that. No maybe borrowing a bunch of money and buying a house is not the best investment. I think you may see the opposite effect. This time around. I mean by that is. There's a view that this could be the catalyst that pushes a large number of millennials out of the city centers and into the suburbs. And I do think an additional accelerate of that trend is going to be in the fact that working from home has become easier and more accepted and therefore being in a city centre is less relevant. I would say the other trend. Expect to see more on the repair and remodel side. You've got a large number of folks who are spending more time in their homes than they ever used to and they're working around what they don't like what they may want to improve. So I expect the real spike and remodeling spending coming out of this crisis by one year of the home. Were that would be particularly acute. The outdoor living expenditure was a place that was already growing at more than overall repair amounts so another trend. Obviously pre-crisis was that we're seeing smart homes more technology and innovation in the building sector in the home we used to continue as a result of the crisis or may be accelerated. I do think it's going to continue and I think you're right. It could even accelerate in when you look across industrial and markets the real ubiquitous theme. We've seen over. The past. Twenty years has been increased technology in. You'll get your own car. I think that's probably the best example. How much incremental technologies in the car? More so than it was ten years ago. One laggard has really been construction and when I think about interesting innovation and technology around the all it's really all sorts of different things. It's material replacement so companies replacing traditional would use in decorative trim of a home with more environmentally-friendly durable materials. It's in-home technologies. One of my favorites is electric windows. Which are windows that automatically change in tent? Which dramatically changes the experience? The in terms of you don't need lions and that sort of thing and also changes just the energy efficiency of all and then lastly you're seeing changes in the way that homes are actually taking more of the construction moving it offsite making it more efficient taking some of the Labor out of it. I think you're GONNA see that. Trend really emerge. You brought something interesting. Add more specific. Which was the connected home. I think the connection homemade is quite interesting when I talked to my building products clients because consumer standpoint is exceptionally important. But it's really a trend. That's being driven by big tech like Amazon and Google to Walmart. Clients know that they have to play in that ecosystem and they have to be relevant the reticent to really try and lead that movement giving your competition seeks to be other building products manufactures and starts to be very large. Very well capitalized. So I'll see. How do you view your role? It's changed a little bit. There's as much emanate only on which which you roll now is sort of a deserter to clients today compared to normal state business when this crisis are started the focus was really distilling all of the information that was out there about the virus known about the implications of the virus into what was most relevant and most critical to our clients. The next stage was really on a client by client basis doing downside scenario planning understanding their liquidity and making sure that they were in the position to weather of could be very off downturn. Now that we're in a situation where I think we all have a much better understanding at least on the rage of awesome Outcomes of this crisis its return to more strategic dialogue and frankly more traditional doesn't make a log which is was issue of capital and the allocation of capital so appliance or still concern and they're still downside scenario. Planning we are going to have bigger discussions about. What should you be doing differently today than you were doing free crisis to make sure that you meet your strategic objectives lessons someone hopeful note? We like to close on. Aol Personal. I ask all I guess what they've been doing a little differently these days anything. You've been doing this little different than the way you're living before the crisis. So it's it's a good question. I been trying to keep a lot of my typical routine. One thing I added which was actually the recommendation of a client is. I've been reading. Warren Buffett shareholder letters dating back to nineteen fifty seven and working with them chronologically. And I think it's been. It's been interesting for two reasons. The first is that it's just a great history. Lesson hearing what was going on in the US economy generally in the market specifically from the perspective of someone who is experiencing them at the time. And then to it's a good reminder that while we haven't seen this unique set of facts before we have seen similar crises and we weather through. We've come out the other end stronger so it's also kind of a hopeful message that we will get through this as well. Yeah History repeat but it often rhymes. Thanks for joining us today.

The FEDS SUPPORT. Put a recent fallen. Angels in there. That did not that. The Fed did is the companies have to maintain a credit rating of double B. Might Effectively what the Fed is doing is? They're supporting the upper end of high yield companies. And they're doing that so long. As companies you know their balance sheets deteriorate further market participants are forecasting that were in a C- a pretty wide range default. So anywhere from five to twenty five percent is where I say. Investors ARE ASKING FOR HIGH YIELD. This year we are asking. Thirteen PERCENT IS BASE CASE. Assuming our current. Gdp numbers a lot of already priced into the market but unlike investment grade. Where we get to say you're not going to retest the lows. We do. Think that high yield spreads to widen from here that being said there's a silver lining here. The silver lining is just like it was in the equity market into credit markets. There's a significant amount of Dr Crowder in the private credit markets alone. We think that somewhere to the tune of two hundred forty billion in addition to that also got interest from non dyke in cut investors private equity firms while firms family offices and this is allowing companies to come to mark yet just this week alone. We had eleven deals price in the secondary market ideals came last week and these are multiple times oversubscribed but they are humming at levels that are wider to secondary market. It's causing a little bit of a repricing Activity and you're seeing more investor. Demand is is definitely more secured and for shorter term structures going forward. I do think that companies will continue to have avenues by taking raise capital. And it's just gonNA depend on Western. Most cost effective for any wear investor.

The Democratic primary was a bit more endowed at that point Nixon. Now now are earn victories at all thinking that the election typically in a presidential year and that would be A major overhaul to the markets. How your investors thinking about that right now your client. It's not top of mind right now but it's it's worth keeping in this session second quarter. Gdp levels historically have been one of the most predictors real action. And as I mentioned before we now expected to be down. Three percent given the current dynamic data points likely not going to be as relevant as it's done in the past and so we do need. Investors will look to approval ratings which have also been a strong predictor in the administration's response to the virus resulted in a short term increase to president trump's approval ratings. But they had fallen since then and they might be under further pressure if unemployment numbers increases as stacks. So we do find that immeasurable. Service issuing or intentional comes under a democratic administration and unlike a few months ago where probably been more chatter about increasing the corporate tax rates.

You know I wouldn't say that there's this one piece of news in general everything that I've been around people coming together and really running into that fire with candle to help relieve. The pain is just really inspiring in so whether that's woman increasing. Our efforts are charitable contributions donating masks. There's a number of other companies that are doing that. Using their industrial operations to create tools will help others in an also in healthcare front. You know there's people that are in the medical field that are coming out of retirement at any read. There's doctors at our retraining help with Kobe. Nineteen patients and also just recently seen talk of medical students which actually graduated early to get on the front lines. So I think it's just really amazing. How many people were just running into fire to do their heart and try to help with what's going on here. Thanks for joining us today. Meena thanks for having me.

"Hope. Yeah honestly a lot. I you know Catholic community. I actually think that there's a huge opportunity. Ultimately to streamline emergency food services you know if we can get excess food that was normally thrown in the trash directly to restaurants and have some of them you know produce catered meals for nonprofits at one could be an extra revenue source for restaurants which I know F- in New York City is is is more than needed. The quality of the food could go up and we real chance to change things for the better. So that's what keeps us going to rethink? That's what keeps us. Optimistic is that I think when the dust settles will actually be. It'll be really challenging but we're going to be locked with a more efficient a food system which had a lot of problems going into this thing. I now on our clothes with you.

"This is exchanges. Goldman Sachs where we discussed developments curly shaping markets industries in the Global Economy Jake siewert global head of corporate communications at the firm today. We're talking about what it's like to be Goldman Sachs in turn and how employers are trying to keep up with what younger generations want from a work environment to do that. We're talking to college. Seniors who Internet Goldman Sachs's Sachs's past summer and we'll be returning fulltime analysts next year as well as owner very own head of human capital management Dane Homes Catherine Rebecca Ending deign welcome to the program so much so this is for everyone briefly introduce yourselves where you from. Where do you go to school or did you go to school Tom. In what part of the bank will you interning in this past summer dangerous. Give us a quick. Take on your role here at Goldman. Sachs so my name is Catherine Doar VIZSLA. I'm from about an hour north of the city in Putnam County. I'm a student at Brew College here in the city and I had the opportunity to intern in the Securities Division this summer rotating on a few different teams within prime services. My name is Rebecca Scheiner. I am a super senior issuing university which is here New York City where I'm double majoring in accounting and finance but I am from Chicago and this past summer I was interning on the Jess Bank Alyce team and the Control Division here at the firm. I'm dain homes as was mentioned a head of HR. I guess in the small world connections I was born in Chicago. I went to University of Columbia Columbia New York so I don't know we're all all connected one way or another and I'm responsible for over activities around people at the firm leadership development okay just to set some context. We collect a lot of insights from our interns when they're here of the summer. Why do we do that. And what did we get out of that experience of listening to our interns over the course of the summer when they're here yeah so obviously we use the old adage that you don't know what you don't know and I think in a people driven business. It's very normal to fall into the trap of saying Oh. I know what it was like. I was an intern. You might have been a long time ago. When you're using an abacus. It is really true that you don't. I don't know what you don't know so part of it is getting the information and what's Great. I think about the generation that we're seeing today and a lot of the people that were recruiting to the French the firm open and honest and very frank about how they're feeling about things and how they're looking at the world so it's all about being informed unfortunately if they're happy to share it with us the intern class it's the summer was the most diverse to date talk a little bit about how that classes a reflection of what we're thinking and how we're thinking around diversity inclusion here at the firm we think about diversity inclusion through a bunch of lenses one is just if you think about it from a pure where business had serves clients and whatever problem issue usually solving some problem for one of our clients dance with our we want we want a diverse set of us in the room as we try and tackle whatever that problem is and so some of that is a reflection of frankly just wanting to provide the best solutions to our clients. Another part is is that in our surveys with our interns we hear that they want a diverse population around them so part of it is reflecting the desire of what the most talented people out during the marketplace that type of environment that they wanna work in and then frankly we have a core principle that we think about which is mirrored crecy and it's hard to argue that you fully sled meritocracy talk rec- if you don't have diversity in the group of people that you're bringing in because we've obviously proven time and time again talent knows no boundary whether be gender race ethnicity sexual orientation tation so having a diverse class of me makes me feel very confident that meritocracy is alive and well one of the things we did learn from the surveys that eighty two percent of our entrance that it was important and to develop managers that foster that kind of inclusive work environment so how are we thinking about the forward strategy for diversity inclusion particularly comes to training managers. All of this starts with one caring about developing our people which means investing in them investing your time. You're knowledgeable energy. Were looking for our managers to do that. The other part is understanding understanding them and so we started this question with why do we survey. It's a little bit to understand what drives them what they're looking for and in a lot of ways that's prepare managers to deliver that to them as well so managers play play a critical role in developing people in attaching them to the firm and making them effective and the diverse population would you need to do you need to make sure that you understand all the diverse perspectives that the people have in where they come in and you frankly have to care care about what matters to them care about what they're looking to achieve and addressing that and so you know it's resulted in a lot of education. We've put a lot of investment into our learning activities to make sure people understand the different perspectives that are out there but we give people the base knowledge and then we got to make sure that they care and engage H. and invest in our people Catherine when you came here to work over the summer. Does it feel more less diverse than your schools. And what do you expect for managers in terms of how they can do a better job of making people like yourselves comfortable. Baru at least for me is a very diverse school but I would say that the difference here wasn't huge Goldman's. There's definitely making big strides in that direction and I think something interesting just to think about in terms of managers kind of enforcing or implementing more of that diversity within their team team kind of what Dana mentioned a little bit about different perspectives kind of coming in from those diverse experiences. I think is important to think about so when I think about diversity. I don't just think of race ethnicity the city religion. Maybe I'm thinking more about kind of what have those experiences taught a person. What skill sets have they brought from. There and I think that's an interesting thing to think about in the workplace given that different experiences will transfer into different skills in different ways that a person can add value at team so my experience with diversity at the firm is that the firm is much more diverse than my my school or university but that said I think that within the firm managers can best encourage and foster diversity and inclusion by using it as an invitation to conversation because I've always thought of diversity as something so much larger than simply checking off boxes like Catherine said I think you have something to learn from everybody around you and while may be easier or more natural to start that conversation with someone who seems more similar to you at the outset. I think it's equally if not more important to start those same conversations nations with the people who seemed different than you are because in my experience the more you speak to the people who seem to be different than you the more you realize that you have a lot in common and I find that you come away having learned something and I think there's something really really valuable not so both of US studying finance as you're thinking about how to choose the next step of your career after school over the things that led you to Goldman and what were the attributes you looking for in a future employer. I think for me it was really the people that was the first thing and then I was looking at so I had a wonderful experience with all of my interviewers and that was kind of the initial stop that made me realize that golden was going to be a fantastic place to work and I actually had the unique opportunity many of turning here for two summers in a row and that's exactly what I've experienced. The people are incredible overwhelmingly supportive and helpful. I've always found that there's something you can learn from from everyone sitting on either side of you and I think there's definitely something to be said about. Never being the smartest person in the room. There's always something you can learn from every single person Golden Sachs for sure in addition to studying finance. I'm also studying accounting so last summer interns in a public accounting firm and it just wasn't for me so coming into this past summer. I want want to try something a little new which is what led me to controllers actually long story how. I ended up here but I guess in some. I'm really here due to the alumni I from my school who really stopped off and became interest me and guided me this way and I'm so thankful to them but how I ended up Goldman Sachs I mean I think the name really speaks. Thanks for itself because it truly is synonymous with excellence and that was my experience over the summer. When ever I was asked come experience was going. I would explain that I felt challenged. Challenge all around challenge that I was applying the things that I learned in school to my work on a daily basis which is rewarding in and of itself challenged and that I was furthering during the things that I learned and realized how much more I had to learn and challenge because I was surrounded by the most impressive people and as incredible as has my team is at what they do they were equally as incredible as a welcoming me as part of the team and of teaching me about my role and what I needed to do in order to succeed and they really thought to it that I was successful and to me that meant a huge amount so dean when we talk about work life balance means different things to different people and this is one of the questions questions we asked the interns is interesting sixty two percent of the entrance associated with spending time with friends and family only seventeen percent associate with disconnecting at the end of the day when I was that age that's what I was connected so it's different. It's unique for each person can meet flexibility can time always helpful to understand it. What does it mean to you so I'm not surprised. Now I found the pure synergy between me and most interns for me. It's family and friends allowed to but what's interesting stain. I think for me when I think about flexibility around life. It's having the space to live your life intentionally around the things that matter to you and I know there's this this whole debate. Oh can you have an odd habit. All say to people who have a problem with saying oh you can have it on like what you're just not creative enough because there's a lot of things in the word all a- and so to me you know work like balance starts with my family. I'm a obviously a husband and father and my wife. I guess semi chose me my kids. It didn't so I have an obligation on. Yes unfair to them a burden. I have to live up to and I care a lot around my community particular ticket around African American boys. I also care a lot about a lot of the friends that I've had growing up and you know people go through challenges in your life so being able to be there when that matters an an investment. Those things is really really important and the part. That's been interesting for me. It'd been at the firm I've been able to intertwine some of that together where some of those investments with with my family or whether it being so my charitable activities have been amplified as a result of being the farm and so that's actually created a unique synergy we sometimes it can these things is one or the other but a lot of times. There's a little inter twining of the Tube but for me if I can look at architecture and design books. That's that was my made in college. I I can spend time with my kids teasing them as much as possible. Make my wife think I'm a major intelligent brilliant funny good looking delete that one takes the most work of all then then. I'm pretty good so how about for you what is work life balance mean when you think about entering the workforce full-time and and what could employers be doing better to support healthy lifestyles. I think for me I'm one of that seventeen percents I would definitely put a focus on being able to disconnect from worked just because I don't think it can be fully present with friends and family and kind of pursuing your different passions. If your mind is always at work and in order to make sure you're not burning out and you can kind of come into work the next day really add value.

"You also managed to travel light. You still see a lot of clients what international markets you most focus on right. Now I remember when I used to talk to Hank Paulson a lot about how he spent his time all the way back to when he was running banking and before he ran the firm and one of the things that he said to me that still sticks with me that I try to keep keeping my mind as I think about my travel schedule today. Is You have to look at where the big markets are where we can have a real impact because that's still the eighty twenty in the equation Asian of where you can really move the needle and that's still obviously the United States across the whole of the United States. It's clearly the UK it's clearly Germany France and the group of countries trees on the continent and the the major economies in Europe and increasingly it's China and Japan if I had to categorize where I'm spending the vast Madrid time it's the g seven and China at an essence. Most of my time is really spent trying to make sure our operations in the key countries are working. Well and our clients are feeling our presence and then I'm meeting eating the right people and I've got relationships with the key people that matter externally whether it's in the government or with corporations or private equity firms are large institutions and then the case of a country like China. It's really trying to figure out where we're going to go. And how are we going to build a business. And how are we GONNA get ourselves to be more important more relevant in that marketplace inside the country and then obviously connected to our clients globally connecting them back into China so you spent a lot of time at China both as someone running the Investment Bank but also as Presencio. What is is it that most business people and most Americans have a casual acquaintance of China miss when they're not spending enough time there. I think it's a multilayered country and I feel like you walk out of a meeting and they're real meeting happens after you leave when you walk into the meeting with a group of Chinese executives or government leaders and it's translated meeting and then you leave even then go have another meeting and that's the meaning you're not in and so you want to know about and so I think the key is to figure out how to know about what happened in that meeting which there's no substitute with for going there a lot and getting a sense for the nuance and building relationships where you can actually get some sense for what's happening when you're not in the room. What I experienced when I go to China is it's translated translated. It's very formal. There's not a lot of nuance to the meeting. It's a pretty staged environment and there's another set of discussions. That really is where the rubber rubber meets the road and so I think if you go there a few times you feel like oh I had a good meeting. Every meeting is a good meeting. You're not going to have a bad meeting in China because the Chinese don't like having bad meetings but there's plenty of things that happened in a meeting. That wouldn't be to your benefit if you didn't know about what was going to happen next and so I think the key is to get to a sense where a place where you've got enough of a relationship with somebody where they I can give you the nuance behind the scenes in the room. You're not in what major geopolitical issues you most focused on now. Obviously there's a lot going on in the world. It's very busy right now. But what do you think will have the biggest impact on Goldman over the longer term. If you think about the next five to ten years if you call that the longer term the U. S. China China relationship in the trade discussion but also more broadly just the broader relationship you know how it unfolds particularly given the trump administration's policy which is obviously a departure departure from prior. US policy towards China. I think that far and away has the most global implications for for Michael Sachs's implications for our business in China obviously but has implications for how multinational companies and governments react to that relationship if I had to pick one that would be it. The second is brexit which on the surface is not as big can issue but it has ramifications for the whole of the European Union where we have significant operations. We've obviously got six thousand or so people in the UK at a big presence on the continent. I think brexit is the beginning of a reset of the relationship. Rally in the European Union were thirty five percent of our business by most measures resides so that is very important to Goldman Sachs and I think to our clients I would say that'll be the second big geopolitical event that we're watching carefully so John and of course year banking career you became a counselor to some of the most successful CEOS really in the world do you misgivings kind of advisory is still get an opportunity to do it and does that background. Help help you in this current job. If I look back on my career the most fun that I've had is really sitting with CEOS and boards and chewing through difficult problems whether it's an emanate problem problem or a capital markets problem or in some cases personnel or other problem that doesn't relate to a transaction counseling clients really one of the great joys of this business and so yes. I don't get to do it as often as I used to. Do it and I do miss that aspect of it but one of the great benefits of this job by virtue of my position I actually get to interact with more CEOS and more presidents and more executives actives and important positions even I did in my prior job and so I still get to spend time counseling and now the counseling is a little bit different. It's not as much on transactions or deals roles. It's more on macro issues and things that the CEO or the executive is wrestling with it so I actually find some of those relations become even more intimate than they would have been when when I was more of an adviser on a transaction so that's been quite beneficial and sometimes I turn the tables now and I ask questions really picking their brains on how they run on their businesses so I've had numerous conversations with executives about how they run their human capital organization how they run their technology organization how they think about Silo Ization and their firms firms either think about brand how they think about technology disruption content etcetera. I found that the counseling I was doing is actually serve as a pretty good baseline flying for me too. Sometimes turn the tables and ask the questions that I know I was being asked my prior life is a banker people talk a lot about the culture of Goldman Sachs. It's hard to understand it less. You've worked here here but you've been outside the firm. Nabet inside the firm for a long time almost two decades. What are the things you're most proud of inside the culture. Where some places is that you think we need to change what I love about. Our culture is it's fundamentally grounded in respect lots of communication and a collaborative perspective people come to work here because they want to be surrounded by very very talented people that are desirous of doing important things in the world and they want to collaborate with those people to get better outcomes. We take that for granted because that's just the way Goldman Sachs's Ben for a lot of years. Most other firms have a hard time assimilating assembling that kind of culture so we've got tremendous advantages bandages. I think back to your question on silos ation and bringing the firm together one of the things that we've suffered from in the last ten twelve fifteen years. Maybe the crisis really accentuated this the notion that we had to play defense coming out of the crisis as we have gotten more balkanized we do operate in more individual units. The the firm has gotten bigger. It's more complex and more businesses. It's hard to bring people together. It's hard to tap into the vein of that collaborative ethos and actually pull it together there and go do the thing that I think everybody wants to do so. I think we have work to do there but we've got a lot of raw material to work with it. I think is great advantage. You Running Investment Bank for a while. You've made the transition now. What's been the biggest surprise going from the business investment banking division to the executive office investment banking things a great business and it's done very very well for a long period of time but the firm has a lot more complex in investment banking and so for me? The hardest part of this transition has undoubtedly Ben getting my arms around the complexity of the firm just the raw breadth of businesses that we're in of people that I have to get to know that I have to learn to both trust and have of them. Trust me you know it's just a very very broad complex firm and I'm getting my arms around it slowly but surely but it takes awhile I think you can't rush it and you have to just experience it that and you have to go through the paces and so I'm almost a year into that but I think in year two and three outfit even more comfortable than I feel today. That's far away the the toughest part of the transition. Yeah I think the thing that I've really been heartened by is I've yet to find a part of the firm where I don't see really high quality people and a really high quality organization. We've got balkanisation. We've got challenges. We've talked about in this discussion but we start with a base of extraordinary people you go all over the world you see people in every nook and cranny or any of the firm. It's a young energetic ambitious mobile group of people that want to work together to collaborate WanNa win and WanNa make Goldman Sachs as good as it can be and I want to be important in the world and relevant in the world and that again is a great advantage and we take it for granted but I think it's a great advantage when we talked about your career earlier. We started after College College but you've got a liberal arts education at one of the Great Liberal Arts Colleges in America talk about how the Liberal Arts education basically can be applied. I do a career and finances you have this feels like a plant that question because I'm a huge proponent of liberal arts education although I did say once air that if I could come back and what about an engineer that was authorized to say about that more spoke to my insecurity of not understanding all the platform that we're doing and not knowing the engineering walls I wish I did my view is you can and learn the technical stuff when you're in a job and you need to learn it. If you're smart you've got a good brain or willing to read and listen in and absorb..

"Welcome to exchanges. Goldman sachs. I'm Jake Siewert global head of corporate communications here at the firm today. I'm here with MandA hill. Lynn and Sandra Lawson to talk about a new report that you co wrote with some other women at the firm from the global markets institute or GMI called closing the gender gaps advancing women in corporate America GMI is the independent public policy and corporate advisory think-tank for Goldman Sachs. Amanda is chief operating officer for global investment research and the president GMI and Sandra is executive director of GMI, Sandra. Amanda walk into the program. Thanks for having us. Yes. Thanks for having us. So let's start at the beginning. Amanda, why did you decide to write on this topic? And was there a particular catalyst? There's no topic that is more front of mind today than gender equality and equality in general, it doesn't matter whether. Are you open your newspaper your Twitter feed your inbox? You talk to your friends you talk to clients colleagues. This is a topic that people are focused on and not only is it a topic that people are focused on but our clients in particular have begun to ask us questions around. How do they move the needle on the issue of gender equality and promote more women inside of their organizations and see better gender related outcomes. And so really for us from an advisory perspective the principal catalyst was demand from our clients. And then of course, it's something that we find personally interesting as well. And also happens to be one of the topics that is front of mind for our society at large today, those were really the fundamental underpinnings for the reason to write the report, Amanda, what kind of feedback gotten since you publish this report. It's funny. I think there is a view that this could potentially be controversial. And in fact, the feedback has been just the opposite. In other words. Most of our clients both on the institutional investing side and on the corporate side have said to us. Yes, we understand. We're facing these issues. Thank you for talking about them. We want actually be involved in a dialogue and debate. We don't wanna be uncomfortable. Having these discussions. There's no stigma associated with it. We should be out there in the dialogue. And if you're not part of the dialogue, you can't possibly understand what's going on. So for us. It was actually a lot less controversial in very well received by our client base so far. I'm just going to guess that some of the people thought it would be caught virtual or men, actually. No, no, no, no. It was actually quite mixed. Yeah. We've really wasn't just men. Yeah. Okay. It was quite mixed. Sometimes you have to talk about things that are slightly uncomfortable. And you have to talk about them. Because if you don't talk about them, you can't resolve problems. And sometimes when you go close to an issue and talk about things like downshifting, whether it's voluntary or in volunteer. Gary it's natural for people to just get a little bit uncomfortable around that. And so I think from our perspective we wanted to be very clear that we weren't trying to take view. We were never trying to say that women shouldn't feel like they can make choices in their lives. Of course, they showed in those choices should be respected. But we wanted to be part of the dialogue and demonstrate with numbers and facts, what some of the issues are that are outside in the world, and that are facing women, but these are not only women's issues their issues for society at large their issues for men, and they can't be viewed as only being women's issues. So I would say feedback overall has been really positive so turn to the report you talk a bit about this twenty percent wage gap, which gets a lot of attention in the national press in our conversations about this..
