Hidden Forces

Why does the price of gold futures matter to people buying toilet paper in Nebraska? How can we stop social media from eroding our democracy? Are we really in a new Cold War with China? On Hidden Forces, media entrepreneur and market analyst Demetri Kofinas uses a financial and cultural lens to help listeners make connections, challenge consensus narratives, and realize novel solutions to complex problems. Entrepreneurs, investors, scholars, artists, and others seeking to understand today’s complex societal problems trust Hidden Forces to give them an edge. Michael Casey and Sheila Warren write that Kofinas is “a master at drawing big-picture narratives” around complex problems, while Nathaniel Whitmore says Hidden Forces is “one of the most unique podcasts in the business space because it comes at business and markets topics with an interesting and broad, polyglot lens.” Podcast episodes feature a wide variety of luminaries, visionaries, and contrarians.
