I wish this conversation was longer. I’d enjoy hearing Joe speak on geopolitics on a longer episode. I think Sachs did a fine job representing the USA and being polite.
(Maybe the unedited version is much longer) This should be a three hour long conversation. Big kudos to the allin team.
This was fascinating. Thank you. Would love to see Joe on a longer episode
Joe is amazing to explain every topic.
being humble is the way for the world moving forward peacefully, not arrogant and determined to be the only number one country mindset, which will only create more chaos and inequality.
Now this is cool.
In China, the politicians set the rules and policies of the country but with long term strategy and predictability. Businessmen adapt and adjust to the rules to form their own respective business strategy. In America, the businessmen formulate the rules and policies of the country in according to their own interest. The politician set the rules and policies based on the businessmen inputs.
I like Joe’s explanation and view of Ai
Lol that is me in the intro
Great discussion shared by someone who has global mindset and also understands the deep insight. It is not about RIVALRY!
