When the two greatest auction houses in the world - Christie’s and Sotheby’s - vied for the privilege of auctioning off $20 million worth of art in 2004, little did they know that they would be forced to engage in an ancient form of ritualized combat known as... rock paper scissors.

Whether you’re a businessman, a statesman, a general, or a parent, you’re strategizing on a daily basis. So how do you do it better?

My guest today will provide some insights. His name is Barry Nalebuff. He’s a game theory expert and the author of "The Art of Strategy: A Game Theorist's Guide to Success in Business and Life." On the show Barry and I discuss how game theory can help you make better strategic decisions in all sorts of situations. We explore why threatening to punish your child’s sibling for bad behavior might be a more effective strategy than threatening to punish the child himself, what Donald Trump can teach us about the promise and perils of injecting randomness into your strategy, and how you can use game theory against yourself to lose weight or even quit smoking.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection. 
I started buying records when I moved to Athens, one decade ago. Now, I moved back to Crete an Island at the south of Greece. The living is nice but the record stores apart the traditional ones are hard to find here. Thus, most of my collectable records are combined with my trips. I am also a DJ/producer, so the records I choose are chosen because I know that I can make use of them in my production or on stage. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
Main reason I love the 45s is that I get a slight better quality at the sound and the groove of the record. Moreover, as a dj, I am really into their portability , easy peasy in my travel record bag.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
The selection for the 45/7 mix I did is coming from vinyls I collected from a trip to puerto rico. I searched in numerous stores for them and for me this mixtape is giving the picture of their music, culture, daily life and recalls memories from my experience there.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

5) Top 5 all time fave records. 
I am always confused when it comes to this question, cause I like many different records, so I will mention the first favorite ones that pop into my mind without an order. 

Gorillaz - Gorillaz
Aplha Mist - Antiphone 
Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit
Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots 
The Doors - The Doors
