We talk about the geo political chaos around the world and how to make sense of it all. After all, being an effective investor, especially a macro investor, understanding the political arena is becoming more and more important. \n\nRyan spent 10 years with the Department of Defense as an intelligence analyst and hazard mitigation specialist. He now focuses on critical minerals and metals, viewing the industry through the lens of geopolitics, risk, & conflict.
