Summary

My guest on the latest episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Jacob Shapiro, the Founder and Chief Strategist of Perch Perspectives. With geopolitics becoming both impossible to ignore and increasingly complex, it was a perfect time to char with Jacob about two of the most pressing (and polarising) geopolitical situations facing the world today: Vladimir Putin’s stand-off with Ukraine and Xi Jinping’s potential plans for Taiwan. Jacob brings a wealth of insight to what was a truly fascinating conversation as he weighed up the likely paths available to all the actors enmeshed in these situations and handicapped the likelihood of a series of potential outcomes. As a reminder, Silver Tier subscribers to https://grant-williams.com get access to both Things That Make You Go Hmmm… and all editions of The Grant Williams Podcast, including The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, and The Narrative Game.
