Bestselling author Michael Lewis has spent decades practicing what the sharpest business thinkers do: questioning assumptions, navigating past blind spots, and revealing why conventional wisdom so often leads smart people astray. Lewis is the author of a remarkable run of business-themed classics, including* two that have been turned into Oscar-nominated Best Pictures.In this exclusive episode of Monday Morning Radio, Lewis reflects on why true success derives from taking the long view rather than aiming for quick results, and how doing the hard, unglamorous work others avoid can create an outsized, enduring advantage. Lewis’s conversation with roving reporter Rotbart was recorded when the author was honored as a Business News Visionary. While the interview took place several years ago, the insights Lewis shares are strikingly current — offering inspired ideas that readily apply to entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners navigating uncertainty, disruption, and change today.

* including Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, Flash Boys, The Big Short, Boomerang, The Undoing Project, and Going Infinite.
