We're counting down the top five episodes of 2024 and are ready for number one,

which is already the second all-time leader in downloads after last year's number one,

Seth Carman.

The top episode this year is perhaps the most timely of our 500 as well.

It's episode 415 with Scott Bessent, a brilliant macro thinker and the

cabinet nominee for Secretary of Treasury, the position created by Alexander Hamilton.

I was an investor in Scott's first hedge fund, a partner of his for four years, a friend for more

than 20, and a huge fan. I'm excited for

Scott and for our country about what his appointment might mean for our economic future.

Please enjoy this replay of my conversation with Scott Bessent.

Before we get going, we have some exciting news at capital allocators.

We're hiring.

We are looking for a head of business development to really lead all relationship building

efforts with you, our community, the followers in the institutional investment space.

The role will involve all aspects of external facing engagements. That's our gatherings,

whether it's our summits or our universities, from planning to leading correspondence with managers

and allocators, to marketing the events that have open registration, to hosting. The role will

also collaborate with existing sponsors and establish new sponsor relationships.

And then the role will take on any new initiatives that arise.

We're always experimenting with new things and we anticipate this person being a leader in those new initiatives.

Ideal candidates are someone with five to 10 years of experience in financial services or investment management, especially in client-facing

roles. That could be investor relations, gap intro, maybe it's software sales institutional investors.
