Stacy Devine knew from a young age that the field of finance was for her. While other kids were playing, she enjoyed balancing a budget. She even loaned her sister money and charged her interest. She later took an accounting class in school and was hooked. She pursued her CPA and started her career at Ernst & Young as a certified public accountant. Today, Stacy finds herself as the Chief Investment Officer of RPTC, a private trust company for a single family office in Chicago. With all of her accomplishments, it might be hard to believe that Stacy was always underestimated and had to prove herself over and over again. She took this as an opportunity to build her courage. She finds great strength from her solid network of support (including her husband and friends) to keep finding the courage to claim her seat at the table. When Stacy needs to make a decision, she always tries to discover what are the opposite opinions. She'll seek out other points of view and then see how they affect her convictions. She also knows the importance of just stopping what she's doing and having fun with her family because there will always be a million things to do. She has learned to give up on perfection to have more balance in her life. Join us as Stacy shares her wisdom as a leader in her field.

The World Economic Forum has returned to Davos, Switzerland for the first time since the pandemic – and at the top of the list of discussion topics are COVID-19 and the War in Ukraine. S&P Global Vice Chairman Dan Yergin joins us to discuss the implications the war has for global energy security and geopolitics. Plus, as the S&P 500 approaches bear market territory, investors are looking to the Fed to see if it can stabilize inflation. But is a recession the only solution? Steven Wieting of Citi Private Bank gives us his take on whether economic fundamentals justify the recent sell-off. And, a new report from Credit Suisse lists 50 stocks that will likely benefit from a strong U.S. dollar, including Home Depot, Target, and Netflix. Patrick Palfrey, co-author of the report, dives deeper into his equity strategy ahead of the trading day.

As record inflation meets rising interest rates, we're examining the role of the US Federal Reserve in protecting the economy from recession in the coming months. 15 years ago the world faced the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression, brought on by a perfect storm of risky lending, mortgage defaults, and failures of financial institutions. In January 2008, the Fed made significant cuts to interest rates to stimulate the economy. Those rates have stayed historically low since then, but that's rapidly changing. The latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a special podcast series from GZERO brought to you by Citi Private Bank, examines the moves the Fed is making right now and how they will impact the economy and your bottom line as an investor. Our program features Steven Wieting, Chief Investment Strategist and Chief Economist at Citi Global Wealth Investments; and Robert Kahn, Director of Geoeconomics at Eurasia Group. Lucy Eve, Senior Strategist of Geoeconomics at Eurasia Group, moderates the discussion.
