What Makes Risk-Takers Tick? – Nate Silver at FICO World | FICO

Описание: Highly successful risk-takers in fields as diverse as poker, venture capital and technology share some fascinating characteristics. In his keynote presentation at FICO World 25, Nate Silver defined the 13 habits of highly successful risk-takers, a topic covered in his new book On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything. This excerpt from that presentation features two of the characteristics: strategic empathy and a focus on process, not results.

Nate Silver is today’s leading statistician, best known for his innovative and highly accurate models for political polling. He first gained national attention during the 2008 presidential election when he correctly predicted the results of the primaries and the presidential winner in 49 states. In 2012, he called 50 of 50 states.

A pioneer in the field of data journalism, Nate founded the award-winning website FiveThirtyEight and served as its editor-in-chief until 2023. He now publishes his insights and statistical assessments of cultural phenomena to over 68,000 subscribers on his Silver Bulletin Substack.
