EP 54: The Weekend Of Mistakes (with Leila Johnston) Shelf Life #13
About this episode
Leila Johnston reports on the Weekend of Mistakes 2026, featuring insights from leading thinkers in investment and economics.
The much-anticipated Weekend of Mistakes 2026 took place on 20-22 March, with leading investment and ecomonic thinkers such as Russell Napier, Merryn Somerset Webb and Professor Helen Thompson entertaining an enthusiastic audience gathered from across the UK and far beyond. Topics included football finance, the water industry, a guide for countries hoping to avoid going bust, and the mafia's unlikely role in shaping queer nightlife. It all took place in the stunning setting of Hay Castle in Hay-on-Wye on the Welsh border – and our very own Leila Johnston was there. Enjoy her report from a lively and thought-provoking weekend, and hear from several of the speakers and guests that she met. www.weekendofmistakes.org www.librayofmistakes.com Produced by Fraser Allen and Leila Johnston.
