Lee Davy sits down with professional poker player and effective altruist, Roman Romanovsky, to talk about his latest charity marathon, the influence of Scott Alexander, and how he intends to do his bit to change the world.

Roman Romanovsky is a remarkable young man.

With the world looking ever more damaged and corrupted the easiest way to process is to close our eyes. Romanovsky peels his open Clockwork Orange style. At 25-years of age his levels of maturity and willingness to take action where most don’t is incredibly inspirational.

During this 30-minute interview, I question Romanovsky on the genesis of his charity marathon, the men who have influenced him the most in life, and what advice he would give to other poker players who are interested in following his lead.
