The Risk-Reward Show With Petrucci and Sommer
The Risk-Reward Show is a weekly podcast series about international business, trade, entrepreneurs and occasional political ranting. With partners in Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, London, New York, Cape Town, Mumbai and Shanghai, we bring insight and news directly to you from wherever in the world it is happening, directly from the people experiencing it. We're not journalists; we're just some guys who want to know what's actually going on.
The Risk-Reward Show is co-production of Angry Meta Traders and Leitmotif Press.
