How do you make smart financial decisions when the world suddenly feels unpredictable and uncertain?

Rising geopolitical tensions, oil shocks, and supply chain disruptions are increasing the risk of stagflation—a dangerous mix of slowing growth and rising inflation. For investors, this creates a challenging environment where portfolio risk increases and many decisions must be made in the fog of war, without perfect information.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How geopolitical conflict and oil price shocks can trigger stagflation and impact global markets.
2. Why many investors underestimate their true portfolio risk after 17 years without a major bear market.
3. How to think emotionally and strategically about risk when making decisions in the fog of war.

Listen now to understand how to evaluate your portfolio risk and make better investing decisions during stagflation—even when you’re making decisions in the fog of war. 📉🎙️
