Breakfast with a con artist

[Quartz]( Dear readers, Join us next week for a members-only breakfast roundtable at the exclusive McIntosh House in Soho, NYC. We’ll discuss the brand new book, An Economist Walks into a Brothel, with the author herself (Allison Schrager), as well as two other experts at evaluating risky life and business decisions: - Veteran NY paparazzo and former photo editor at Us Weekly, Peter Grossman. - Convicted con artist and former CFO at “Crazy Eddie,” Sam Antar. If you [sign up for membership]( today, you’ll still be able to RSVP to the May 14th event [here](. Through the rest of the year, we’ll be hosting a series of events that give Quartz members the chance to convene with our journalists, hand-picked industry leaders, and each other. Our first event, a few weeks ago, featured a conversation about the future of corporate boards with Beth Comstock, former vice chair of General Electric and current board member of Nike. This will be the second event in the series, so you still have a chance to experience benefits often reserved for early adopters. The member-only events series will soon come to other cities around the world. Be among the first to hear about them by [signing up](. Best, Sam GrobartMembership editor [Start your free trial]( You're receiving this email because you signed up for one or more emails from Quartz. Click [here]( to unsubscribe.
