The questions reshaping business in 2025 aren't just about products or marketing — they're about geopolitics, technology, and how quickly the ground beneath every industry is shifting. Nima Yamini came to the Digital Social Hour with Sean Kelly prepared to wrestle with exactly those questions, and the conversation that followed is one of the more substantive the show has produced.
Over nearly an hour, the two cover territory ranging from artificial intelligence and China's capabilities to portfolio diversification, mental health, and the psychology of elite performance. It's a conversation built for people who want to understand the forces shaping the next decade, not just the headlines from last week.
