Tradified

By Scott Rye Joining Loyal American Life Insurance Co. as a clerk in 1955, the year the company was formed, 24-year-old Matt Metcalfe rose quickly through the ranks, becoming secretary and a director just three years later, and executive vice president two years after that. At the beginning of 1960, the company listed assets of …

Editor’s Note: First, THANK YOU to James Grant who threw in a great story while I am finishing up my family’s medical issues. Second, the site is still not repaired so apologies for only one image but this is such a great piece you probably won’t mind. When I was a boy, I once asked …

The Dean of Ivy finishes by taking questions from the audience. You can click on the image to get to the show. You can also hear the show here. We (and by we I mean Hostgator) is still working to resolve the issues that the increased traffic presented to the server – a good problem …

So a few things.  First, a giant thank you.  This podcast was supposed to get going earlier but family medical stuff made that impossible.  But the advertisers and sponsors have been just amazing and understanding. I will be at J. Press in Manhattan at around 5, we get going around 6, wrap it up around …

Everybody is watching the meltdown – and having bounced back from my own meltdown, I have empathy.  My wife never slept with Pete Davidson after we split up, and until you walk a mile in those designer sneakers, you can’t judge. But you CAN protest the people around him.  Does no one love this man …

The first Ivy-Style Podcast.  I am so jazzed (see what I did there?) to be the host of the very first Ivy-Style podcast, at J. Press Manhattan, with no less than Richard Press as my first guest.  And you can be there.  First, if you are not on their email list, do yourself a favor …
