“We are not living through the end of the world. We are living through a transition from one global order to another, and that is uncomfortable.”Geopolitics can feel like an endless scroll of crises, but our Strategic Partner and Geopolitical Advisor Jacob Shapiro focuses on what actually matters for investors: using geopolitics as a method to understand how states behave and to decide where you and your capital should be over the next decade, not the next quarter. This conversation explores why our brains overreact to bad news, how today’s disorder fits into a longer pattern of shifting eras, and why Jacob centers his work with families on three forces that will shape the next ten to fifteen years: the move from a US dominated world to a more multipolar one, a major energy transition, and a new wave of technological change across the real economy.
