Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Roz Hewsenian no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ · coarse estimate ≈4.5/5 from 49 produced feed exchanges record → ← everyone
Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5.
An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression.
The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the
cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only
toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q When that came to the advice that you gave as consultants for different clients, how do you grow into sort of a set of beliefs about investing?
A I'm a student of the efficient market hypothesis. I'm also a student of due diligence is the most important thing that you can do. I'm also a student of the importance of the trade-off between risk and return, and if you can hold true to those three principles, you can get a lot done. So if you start out with, well, I'll never do an energy investment because fossil fuel is bad, well, guess what? It's a pretty significant portion of our overall economy. So I How can you make it a good investment? Number one. And number two, how do you make sure you have a seat at the table so that your concerns about the environment are well voiced? So I never adopted this all or nothing attitude toward anything because invariably life isn't that black or white or cut and dried. And usually if you keep your eye on what the bigger picture is, You can figure out a way to get there with virtually any investment. So it's important to hue to those three broad principles that are sufficiently broad that you can accommodate in a consulting arrangement, for example, the client's desires and wishes.

Q And how does behavioral bias play into that decision?
A Oh, God, everybody has their little pets. But the team is large enough that we can challenge each other, number one. And number two, everybody has their eye on the goal, which is, It feels really good when we've met our performance objectives, and we're a highly motivated team to meet our performance objectives, and we take a lot of pride in doing that. We want to do a good job, so we recognize that you can have behavioral biases, but to what end? The thing about the team that is so important is that excellence is ingrained in every single individual, and it doesn't matter their level. And when you have that, then people might start out with their behavioral biases, but they'll back away from them pretty quickly.

Q So why don't you take me through how you got started in the business and how that grew to being here today?
A Well, I think one of the most important facets of my background has nothing to do with what I'm doing today per se. And that is I have an undergraduate degree in special education and I taught learning challenge children for a couple of years before I went back and got an MBA. And it has proven to be, without a doubt, the most important facet of my overall career, because what is the strength of someone's career? The ability to communicate, get your point across, and make sure that someone truly understands what you're trying to tell them. And if you can do that with Learning Challenge Children, you can do it with anybody. So that's the most important thing to know about me.

Q Alright, let's turn to some closing questions. What was your favorite extracurricular achievement?
A I am very fortunate to have gone to SUNY Oneonta undergrad. It's a New York State school, and the year that I applied to Oneonta, it was harder to get in there than it was to Harvard, and it was the height of the Vietnam War, and everybody was going to college, and somehow or another, they accepted me. I was eternally grateful to them for accepting me, and I had a great four years there, And I turned around, and with my success, helped other students. And I was able to financially support 20 other students in pursuit of their bachelor's degree. And last year, Oneonta awarded me, well, the State University of New York, not Oneonta, but the State University of New York awarded me a Doctor of Humane Letters.
