01 - The Fragility of Democracy, Business Ethics, and Leadership in Uncertain Times – with Martin Wolf CBE

In this powerful episode of Insights From The Cole Face, I sit down with Martin Wolf CBE, Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times, to explore the intersection of leadership, democracy, and economic resilience in today’s volatile world.

From his personal history as the child of refugees to his groundbreaking insights on democratic capitalism, Martin shares a raw and thought-provoking perspective on what it takes to lead ethically and responsibly - both in business and society.

We discuss:

✅ The fragility of democracy and what history teaches us about its survival

✅ Why business leaders have a moral obligation to uphold societal stability

✅ The uneasy relationship between capitalism and democracy—and why it matters

✅ How global geopolitical shifts and economic uncertainty are reshaping leadership

✅ The rise of populism and oligarchy—and what CEOs, General Counsel, and leaders must do to navigate it

🔹 Martin also shares his Leader’s Survival Kit—a must-hear for anyone striving to make ethical, impactful decisions in an increasingly complex world.
