The Hundred Year Pivot | A New Podcast S...

DEMETRI KOFINAS
About this episode

Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams have teamed up to launch “The One Hundred Year Pivot,” a new podcast series that explores the once-in-a-century economic, political, and geopolitical reordering currently underway. These transformational changes demand that we develop new maps and investment frameworks to help us navigate the challenges ahead.

Over the course of the series, Grant and Demetri will be speaking with the smartest and most plugged-in people they know to help us chart a path through this gathering storm and position ourselves, our organizations, our families, and our portfolios for the changes to come.

You are invited to join them on this journey as they explore the implications of:

  1. The breakdown of existing political, monetary, and social institutions

  2. The emergence of new economic and financial trading blocks

  3. The reprioritization of national and economic security

  4. The channeling of national savings into a new military and technological arms race

  5. The development of a new investment paradigm with historic implications for investors
