36 分钟Hey, what's news listeners?
It's Sunday, November 23rd.
I'm Alex Ocilla for the Wall Street Journal.
This is What's New Sunday.
On the show this week, we're bringing you an episode of our sister podcast,
Bold Names, hosted by WSJ columnist Christopher Minns and Tim Higgins.
This episode features former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
I'm joined now by one of the hosts of Bold Names, Christopher Minns.
Christopher Condoleezza Rice.
I think most people know her as the Secretary of State under George W.
Bush.
Now she leads the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and is the founding partner of strategic consulting firm Rice Hadley Gates and Manuel.
What makes her well positioned to speak to this geopolitical moment that we're in?
She talks to a wide variety of CEOs about what they're dealing with.
And of course, because companies are more multinational than ever,
and they're having to deal with things that affect their operations all over the globe,
like tariffs.
She's really become that kind of CEO whisperer, but also a CEO listener.
Was there anything that she said during your conversation with her that surprised you?
Yes.
