We couldn\u2019t think of a better guest to discuss the nuances of financial risk.   John spent 24 years at Standard & Poor\u2019s, or S&P, and is known most for downgrading the US credit rating in 2011. His insights and experiences are topical and relevant as the United States worked through the debt ceiling debate earlier this month. In the discussion, John shares his perspective on today\u2019s debt ceiling debates, the five components of S&P\u2019s risk assessment, and how he teaches risk at the Executive MBA level at NYU\u2019s Stern School of Business.   Stan and Chris\u2019s reflections in today\u2019s episode were particularly thought-provoking. They dive into existential risk: when and how leaders consider how entire efforts will fall apart, how we should be thinking about the risk to our republic, and also discuss how a \u201ccrisis in confidence\u201d can generate more risk to our society.   Stan\u2019s latest book, Risk: A User\u2019s Guide, touches on more topics like these.
