In this wide-ranging discussion, Sean Ring provides a global perspective on markets, geopolitics, and the intersections between politics and economics. The conversation spans Sean's experiences living abroad—from London to Asia to Italy—while offering critical insights into U.S. markets and global capital flows. Key themes include the inevitability of automation, the challenges of global supply chains, and the geopolitical implications of U.S. tariffs, China, Russia, and Europe.

Sean argues that while the United States remains the most viable market for investment, global economic and political shifts are creating unprecedented opportunities and risks. He critiques the Federal Reserve's mismanagement, inflation reporting, and the fallout of poorly executed policies, while highlighting Trump's cabinet picks and policy impact on markets. Other topics explored include AI, the Belt and Road Initiative, immigration, and the erosion of legacy media's influence in favor of platforms like X.

Sean brings an engaging, contrarian view, emphasizing the importance of understanding macro trends, challenging assumptions, and adopting a globally informed perspective to navigate today's interconnected markets.
