This week on the 🎧Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Demetri Kofinas, the creator and the host of Hidden Forces, one of the most thoughtful and popular podcasts in the world today.  Demetri spends his days engaging with big issues and ideas and talking with some of the smartest, most influential people in the world.  Because he embraces things like complexity, uncertainty, and nuance, his show Hidden Forces is one that stands out from the crowd and one that I highly recommend.

I wanted to have Demetri on the show to get his take on some of the big themes he’s been exploring.  After binging on Hidden Forces for a few weeks, I had a feeling that he would have some very interesting perspectives and he did not disappoint.  Demetri got me thinking about things like whether China might not be as strong as everyone thinks and the extent to which our current culture and system incentivizes the gambling-mentality and produces what he calls “degenerates.”  He also spoke passionately and eloquently about our moral obligation to not only be informed citizens but also to reject the siren calls of cynicism in favor of a commitment to constructive discourse and engagement. 

In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover everything from the idea of the 4th Turning and the role that generational conflict can play in driving history to Demetri’s provocative financial nihilism thesis to the role that geopolitical conflict might play as a catalyst for a financial reconciliation and reset.  Demetri also shares the inspiring story of how a very serious brain tumor scare altered the course of his life and provided the foundation for his success as a content creator and media entrepreneur. 

As always, thanks for tuning-in and I hope you enjoy this fascinating discussion!
