TEASER | Capital Decanted Live: Signal Overload - Allocating Long Term Capital as the World Rewires
Capital Decanted
· · 7 min · Hosts: Capital Decanted
Summary
Capital Decanted uses this teaser to announce a live show in New York on June 16 at Conde One Liberty Plaza, with a 250-person audience, interactive discussion, raffles, and craft cocktails. The host says the event will be a different feel from the usual virtual format and that listeners should expect a more energetic, participatory night.
The hosts also preview the rest of season three. They say May will bring an episode on the AI stack and its investability, including what can be learned from the dot bubble about where value creation happens in the current buildout race. June will close with a season finale tied to a new thought leadership report on systems thinking for investment managers, linked to the earlier World Rewired work.
The live panel is meant to address the bigger question behind current markets: what counts as signal versus noise as geopolitics, war, AI, and public-private convergence reshape investing. The host says the guests were chosen because they sit in different seats and can offer distinct views on portfolio construction, investable opportunities, and capital allocation in a more complicated regime.

How the episode opens
Well, welcome decanters to this special episode of Capital Decanted. Uh we're going to make a few announcements um in this special episode here in late April. The first is that unfortunately we won't be dropping a normal episode uh this month.
I've had significant travel in China and India and Aaron actually is off tomorrow to Australia to Singapore and finishing up in Tokyo. So forgive us for that. just to give you a sense for the trajectory of the rest of season three uh is that in May we'll be dropping an episode on the the AI stack and its investability up and down.
I think we're really excited to be taking some cues from the dot bubble and what we might learn through where value creation actually happens through this buildout race that we're seeing in real time. And then we'll finish our season finale is going to be in June coincident with a brand new thought leadership report on the importance of systems thinking for investment managers again uh inspired by some of the work we did with world rewired. So that is what kind of the remaining final stretch of season 3 is going to look like.
Most importantly though we're here to make a big announcement about June uh and Capital Decanted. So Aaron uh what do we have in store? Well, John, I'm very very excited uh after years and years of this being uh a recorded podcast uh that we've done, we are going live uh and very uh excited to share the stage with you in person uh in New York June 16th at the Conde One uh Liberty Plaza.
Um we're going to have a discussion live in front of a live recorded audience with a couple of guests. It's going to be interactive.
