Influential strategies

Tyler Cowen discusses influential strategies during an episode of The Lunar Society. He highlights the value of taking career risks and how they teach this at Mercadis. By leading by example and offering tailored advice, they encourage students to explore unconventional paths.

Cowen also mentions that influential public intellectuals often champion a single policy change throughout their careers, citing Andrew Sullivan's advocacy for gay marriage as an example. However, Cowen admits he finds this strategy risky and personally prefers a broader focus due to his aversion to narrowing his expertise to a single issue 1.
