What's This About Anyway?

Mike with his Younglings

Welcome!

Hi there. I'm Mike Allison and I have thoughts to share. This site is where you'll find them.

But first a few nuggets about me:

  • I'm a native Texan and my family has never forgiven me for leaving because:
  • I lived in the Boston, MA area for most of my corporate career, and with my wife, raised two (now adult) children, but:
  • We recently moved to Upstate NY to be closer to our oldest child.
  • I'm no longer a "suit".
  • My Superpower: The ability to communicate complex investment concepts and make them understandable and accessible to non-professionals.
  • My Kryptonite: Green olives.
  • My Favorite Band: Rush (since I was a teenager)
  • My Favorite Book: The Fourth Turning (Strauss and Howe)

What is the Human Enterprise™ Project?

In 2022, I created the Human Enterprise™ Project in recognition of the many technological and societal developments which are emerging and growing in prominence:

  • demographic shifts,
  • longevity research,
  • artificial intelligence,
  • robotics,
  • quantum computing,
  • blockchain,
  • nanotechnology,
  • 3D printing, and many others.

Human Enterprise™ is intended to be a discussion and exploration of these topics, all of which will enable us to navigate the coming de-financialization of institutions, the financialization of individuals, and the pursuit of our "human enterprise".

In recent years, I have developed a keen interest in the ascendance of human capital in the future, the ability for that capital to be monetized via blockchain-based structures and digital assets, and the evolution of the role of financial capital in our society and the global economy. The Human Enterprise™ Project represents my unfettered voice and my efforts to learn from and educate those who share this interest in these once in a lifetime changes.

I'd be honored if you would subscribe to my newsletter:

In conjunction with the creation of the Human Enterprise™ Project, I also founded New Lantern Advisors, an independent fiduciary, fee-only, longevity based financial planning and investment management firm based in Saratoga Springs, NY.

I formed New Lantern Advisors in order to be able to more directly serve a select group of clients after I retired from a 30+ year career in the investment management industry.
