Russian Economics, Housing Refugees, & Investing for Impact with Serena Williams

As the Western world’s sanctions pile onto Russia, CNBC’s Steve Liesman considers the effect they’ll really have for the Russian economy and the Russian people. Speaking from his experience as a journalist in Moscow, Liesman explains the Russian government’s relationship to its citizens and the country’s difficult financial history. Meanwhile, U.S. corporations including Netflix, Disney, and Warner Bros. are taking a stand for Ukraine, and Airbnb is helping to coordinate housing for refugees. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky discusses the cost and the capacity to serve the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing violence. Plus, tennis champion Serena Williams’s venture capital firm Serena Ventures has raised $111 for its inaugural fund. She and General Partner Alison Stillman discuss the importance of representation in venture capital and investing in diverse perspectives.
