The Extreme Risk Podcast - How the Russia-Ukraine war could cause a global ripple effect on countries, societies, individuals and organisations.

Risk Guide is delighted to continue the very first series of our Extreme Risk Podcast in collaboration with Runderc.

In this episode, Alexander Larsen speaks to Mykhailo Rushkovskyi about the potential ripple effects of the war. Looking at what industries are being impacted and what regions could face major risks (from Europe's energy crisis to an expanding war, through to the Middle East struggling with increased grain and wheat production and potentially facing social unrest).

There is mention of a book for children in this episode (which was incorrectly referred to as Mother Goose - A Jethro Tull song) called Mr Goose which can be found at: https://www.mrgooseonline.com/

For further information about Mykhailo and his career, you can find the Risk Managers Getting Coffee series on: https://youtube.com/riskguide
