In this episode of The Hey Alexa Podcast, Alexa sits down with strategist, speaker, and author Stephanie Forbes for a conversation that goes far beyond supply chains and global trade. Together, they explore the invisible systems shaping modern life — from government policy and economic infrastructure to human behaviour, relationships, resilience, and the way people navigate uncertainty.

What begins as a conversation about global systems quickly unfolds into a much deeper discussion about curiosity, adaptability, leadership, trust, and the repetitive patterns humanity continues to revisit throughout history. Stephanie shares insights from her new book, Global Wealth, Local Impact, while offering a grounded and deeply human perspective on how systems break, why resilience matters, and what happens when people stop asking better questions.

Viewers can expect a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about:

• the hidden systems influencing our daily lives
• how uncertainty shapes innovation
• why relationships are becoming more important than ever
• what history teaches us about human nature
• how individuals and nations respond under pressure
• the connection between global resilience and personal resilience

This episode is for anyone curious about the forces quietly shaping the world around them — and how greater awareness, collaboration, and curiosity might help us navigate what comes next.
