Anti-fragility is a phrase coined by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his eponymous book. To build on centuries of ancient knowledge and wisdom, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and Jess Freund is certainly alive and strong. During this episode we feature our first female guest, discuss the name of the podcast and address the considerations of antifragile people and antifragile societies.
