My guest today is Kabir Sehgal, a New York Times bestselling author and Grammy Award-winning producer. He is currently a vice president at JPMorgan Chase. Sehgal's new book, Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us, caught Covel's eye. This is a subject layered in complexity and depth. Just about everything that goes on in our lives is decided by money and Sehgal digs into its story on a micro level.
The topic is his book Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Sehgal's history
- Sehgal's experience winning a Grammy for production and the idea of "no boxes"
- Why Sehgal sees his life like a jazz composition
- Defining money as a symbol of value
- The neurological effects and artistic aspects of money
- The currency of the natural world
- Whether Sehgal sees "money as the root of all evil"
- The idea of charity
- The politics of money
