Engaging Conversations and the Importance of Nutrition

Tom Bilyeu hosts renowned political scientist and founder of Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer, for a high-stakes analysis of today’s dramatically changing global order. With Donald Trump’s unprecedented tariff moves sending shockwaves through the global economy and AI advancing at blistering speed, Tom enlists Ian’s expertise to break down the chaotic landscape and offer insight into where the world is heading.

Ian dives deep into the fragmentation of global alliances, the crucial implications of U.S.-China decoupling, and why eroding trust in America’s leadership is creating economic and strategic risk on a global scale. Whether you’re a business leader, investor, or simply trying to navigate the world, this episode will give you frameworks to stay ahead as major powers reposition their strategies in real time.
