82: The Intersection of Economics and Storytelling with Philippe Gijsels Chief Strategist of BNP Paribas and Co-Author of “The New World Economy in 5 Trends”

Even Stacy had her own mental picture of what a “banker” might be like before sitting down with Philippe Gijsels—and let’s just say this conversation shattered every stereotype.

Listen in today to hear Philippe and Stacy discuss: 

• What Darwin can teach us about innovation 
• Why storytelling is essential—especially when tackling heavy, complex topics like Superinflation, Hyperinnovation, and Climate Transition.
• His journey as an author—how, for over 30 years, he naturally refined his stories in the back-and-forth of conversations long before he ever picked up the proverbial pen
