Interview with Gregory Zuckerman

Episode five features Gregory Zuckerman, author of The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution. This book is one of my favorite pieces of financial journalism from the last decade. Gregory tells the story of Renaissance Technologies, the most successful hedge fund of the last twenty years. In an industry of smart and quirky people, Renaissance seemed to have the smartest and quirkiest, and very little was known about the fund before this book.

This interview also features an exploration into Gregory's impressive work routines. I was curious how he managed a three part career of award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter, best-selling financial journalist (three bestsellers in the past decade), and sports journalist (two books co-authored with his sons).
