At QED Conference 2026 in Zadar, CROZ welcomed Nassim Nicholas Taleb as keynote speaker for a conversation on uncertainty, tradition, stressors, and the often underestimated value of trial and error.
In this Walk Your Talk special, Vedrana Miholić revisits some of the key thoughts Nassim Nicholas Taleb shared at QED 2026, including why tradition can be seen as trial and error outsourced to the past, what olive oil has to do with it, and why 100 small shocks are not the same as one catastrophic one.
The episode also explores how we can expose ourselves to stressors and challenging intellectual problems, not only to solve them, but to benefit from the process itself. Through the lens of Taleb’s master concepts of Antifragility, Skin in the Game, and the Black Swan, this special edition brings back some of the ideas that shaped his QED 2026 keynote.
QED 2026 took place in Zadar in May 2026 and marked an important milestone for the conference, celebrating 20 years of bringing together business and technology conversations on the Mediterranean coast.
The Walk Your Talk special is hosted by Vedrana Miholić, Chief Revenue Officer of CROZ and Managing Director of CROZ DACH.
