Ep. 132: Covid19 Update II with Daniel Wagner

Self-isolation can be difficult. If you read any of the advice about how to best deal with isolation – which comes from astronauts, submariners and others – you will come across some of the same bits of advice. These include maintaining a routine and staying physically active. However, there is one bit of advice that is crucial but that we all find very challenging – even before the coronavirus pandemic. That is maintaining and creating a meaningful connection with others. Meet Georgie Nightingall.

For just about all of us, our lives currently feel disrupted, and frozen – and there is significant uncertainty as to when that will end. There is a way of helping to turn that on its head however – and that is by trying different things. This being a show about uncertainty, this is a great time to walk that talk.

What could we expect over the coming weeks and months of the coronavirus outbreak in terms of geopolitics and the global economy.? Daniel Wagner joins me to discuss.

While the world is currently gripped by the Coronavirus, there was a time when the world’s foremost news story was something completely different – and more positive. In 2018, the world’s foremost international news story was something that made us all feel good – the rescue of the Wild Boars football team from the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand.

It goes without saying that if you spent 14 years as a professional high-stakes poker player, you will have learned a thing or two about decision-making under uncertainty and pressure. Meet Alec Torelli, our latest guest on the podcast.
