In this episode, we dive into U.S. politics with Paul Ryan, the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In a wide-ranging interview with host Sam Gyimah, the two discuss the current state of American democracy and its impact on the world, various business scenarios related to the outcome of the 2024 U.S. elections, and why in today’s complex world, multinational CEOs need to think like politicians and be up to speed on issues such as trade, immigration, and the so-called culture wars.
