Summary

In the latest episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, Simon Mikhailovich returns to explore the increasingly intertwined worlds of geopolitics, economics, and financial markets. As we enter a period of heightened global uncertainty, Simon offers valuable insights into the shifting landscape of possibilities and probabilities for major geopolitical events. The discussion delves into the “geopoliticization” of various aspects of our lives, examining how national security concerns are now taking precedence over financial and economic stability for governments worldwide. Simon also highlights the potential for severe disruptions and their cascading effects, using examples like the California wildfires to illustrate the far-reaching impacts on US finances and foreign policy. Throughout a thought-provoking conversation, the complex, interconnected nature of global events in our current environment and the importance of personal preparedness in the face of growing risks are reinforced in multiple ways. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.
