In this episode, NLW speaks with Bedrock Capital founder Geoff Lewis about what it means to seek out opportunities in “narrative violations.” They also discuss:

  • Why de-globalization and “onshoring” are likely to be among the most important economic drivers in the U.S. in the coming decade
  • Why the shift to working from home may be an overblown “narrative mirage”
  • How important questions of institutional decay have been co-opted by the culture war
  • Why independent, individuals in the media have more influence than ever
  • Why we’re in a “narrative mirage recovery”
