In this first episode of the Navigating the Vortex podcast, hosts Lucy Marcus and Stefan Wolff introduce themselves and the premise of their podcast, which is to have insightful and thought-provoking conversations with guests about current events and big ideas. They discuss their backgrounds and expertise and how discussions around their kitchen table led them to create this podcast.
The hosts also review their recent columns, which focused on geopolitical risks and their impact on economic growth, global trade flows, foreign direct investment, and technological advancement. They examine why geopolitical risks are so important and how they impact economic development. They emphasize the role of the private sector, which is as much affected by global events as the public sector, and examine how public-private partnerships are essential for the international community's ability to tackle global challenges like climate change and future pandemics.
