This presentation was originally done on August 10, 2023, as part of the Chicago Actuarial Association Workshops. It was a PowerPoint presentation. The voice recording, below, is a slight modification of the original presentation. The slide presentation is provided as a PDF file. I suggest opening the PDF first in a separate window (and go to the first slide), then starting the voice recording and follow along with the slides as the recording instructs. All links included on the slides are also provided, below.
Kevin Wolf is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, former-Member of the American Academy of Actuaries, and Book Review Editor at www.graphicmedicine.org.
