Former Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein didn’t just survive the 2008 financial crash; he steered the firm through it by trading the ego of a \"warrior\" for the \"professional paranoia\" of a worrier. In this episode, Lloyd explains why the \"kindling\" for the next global crisis is already building on the forest floor and why survival depends on a discipline most leaders ignore. He offers a sharp assessment of the AI bubble and why America’s unique standing allows it to recover faster than the rest of the world. From the personal moments that shaped his skepticism to his lessons on navigating extreme risk, this is a masterclass in leading when the global economy is on the brink.
