About this episode

Hugh Selby Smith discusses the complexities of investing in a changing world influenced by AI, debt, and supply chain shifts.

While the Middle East conflict dominates the headlines, dramatic shifts are occurring in systems we’ve taken for granted for more than half a century. So how does one build and maintain wealth for a very different future? Talaria Capital’s Hugh Selby Smith joins the podcast to discuss: How AI will change the world, but you could still lose money Why unsustainable levels of debt keep governments in a bind How, why and where supply chains will change forever Whether gold and other commodities can keep their gains, and The key strategies you can take to keep your portfolio safe, whatever its size.
