This week we speak to Tom Dahri. Tom has a storied career in law enforcement and played pivotal roles during the 7/7 attacks and headed the homicide command unit during the 2017 London Bridge attacks.

We wanted to lean on Tom’s experience in the field of investigation and see if we can draw parallels between building a case to track down a perpetrator and building an investment rationale for investing in businesses. We explore and delve into Tom’s experiences in the field and discuss how evidence, witness statements and forensics all built a profile of a scene and how the police would use those factors to build their cases.

We talk about behavioural science and how this lends itself to analysing how founders and entrepreneurs may behave under stress. Tom has himself founded and built a number of tech start-ups, so he’s seen both sides of the coin. His experience in law enforcement has played a big part in shaping his approach to product market fit.

This is a great discussion, packed full of unique insights into the state of the US today.

What’s it like to run a Family Office in Trump’s America? Mike is a paid up member of the Republican party and a qualified lawyer. He offers insightful and forthright views on the state of the US economy under Trump’s 2nd term and he un-wraps the ups and downs of the Presidency to date.

Mike tells us about the impact of Trump’s fight with the Pharma sector and the long term implications for R&D spend. We talk interest rates, deregulation and government shutdown. Mike has a really interesting take on the social and economic impact of the ICE raids and immigration policy and how the Supreme Court is likely to deal with this issue and tariffs. Mike concludes with a post Trump US vision and the legacy he leaves behind.

Would love to hear your views on Trump's America. Good or bad for business?
