About The Geo Godfather Wars Podcast
Barak Seener, Leah Tedrow and guest experts offer an analytical approach to geopolitics enabling viewers to be ahead of the curve and effectively mitigate risk. In an age of disinformation and changing trade & business practices, companies as well as members of the public want to sift between real and ‘fake news’ and have a deeper understanding of future trends and how global affairs are interconnected. Our security and economic landscapes are impacted by Coronavirus, a rising China, a resurgent Russia & a nuclear aspiring Iran leading to shifting trade patterns, heightening risk to industries & investment portfolios, creating barriers to entry to foreign markets & creating market volatility.
In 2019, Barak Seener published the Godfather Wars that provides models for understanding current geopolitical dynamics which has the potential for being developed further in the future. In his background as a geopolitical expert, he seeks to provide a holistic lens on how security, trade, economic, technological dynamics as well as business practices fuel each other.
We will also address how the public adapt to a rapidly changing civic and political culture as the private and public sectors are becoming fused?
In this podcast, we invite experts that offer exciting insights into the future to empower the audience to make informed decisions.
