In today’s episode:

The global order has changed--America's allies can no longer assume that we'll stand with them, so they're thinking about alternate strategies.

Even thinking about a Plan B creates chaos and instability. And when looking for new allies, countries are going to find options with lower-cost goods and lots of labor.

Markets are unhappy with this situation. 2026 is likely to be a terrible year, economically, due to the lack of predictability.

CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.
