SPx Episode 39: Peter Betzer, St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership
On this episode of SPx, Joe flies solo with St. Pete's very own Peter Betzer, President of the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership, and Dean Emeritus of the University of South Florida College of Marine Science.

How two trailblazing psychologists turned the world of decision upside down
[Vanity Fair]
After his book Moneyball became a best-seller, Michael Lewis learned that many of the ideas it presented to the general public had actually been introduced decades earlier by a pair of Israeli psychologists: Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
