Caracas to Havana: Caribbean Global Affairs Center Stage

Episode #61 | Miles Spencer

In our wide-ranging conversation with author, investor, and adventurer Miles Spencer, we connect the dots from Caracas to Havana and across the Caribbean’s small but strategic states.    We pull apart the headlines—Venezuela’s sanctions and oil resets,  to Cuba’s enduring hardship.

Miles Spencer traces how curiosity powered a career across ventures, travel, and writing, then applies that lens to the Caribbean. He says that relationships built slowly and with no guaranteed return become the only reliable currency when events turn.

Miles also shares about his new company, Reflekta, a storytelling platform that lets families preserve voices and wisdom for future generations.

“Just getting started is so important. Too many people delay because all the lights aren’t green between here and Indianapolis. You gotta believe that they will turn green as you get there.”
