In our first episode, we talk about what we saw at the Global Risk and Stabilization Summit in Reykjavík: a field starting to see itself as a field, a lot of hedging about advocacy, and a conversation about money that’s still far too small for the risks.

How Susan ended up in Iceland on three days’ notice
What the summit was trying to do, and who was in the room
