Who gets access to capital, and who gets left out? Nicolai Tangen talks with financier and philanthropist Mike Milken, a pioneer of the high-yield bond market, to trace how a chance encounter at 19 shaped a lifelong mission to widen access to capital. They discuss why the “safest” credit isn’t always what it seems, how private credit compares with the past, the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, and why medical research drives economic growth. Mike also shares what still motivates him at 80, how he sees the world through his grandchildren’s eyes, and why curiosity matters most. Hit play. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
