To wrap up summer, Kyle shares some newsworthy real estate headlines and COVID observations from Italy, key takeaways from his conversation with Alberto and Enza Barba, information about his next online poll, and future guest commentary.00:15- Episode IntroductionKyle expresses the special nature of his podcast, as it was recorded on-location in Positano, Italy after his conversation with Alberto and Enza Barba (Episode 20). 00:53 – BREAKING NEWS: Italy00:57 – Brighter Economic Prospects AheadItaly experienced negative GDP growth of 8.9% in 2020, but has rebounded to the point where the European Commission forecasts average annual growth of 4.4% between 2021 and 2022.1:16 – National and Local COVID InformationItaly has managed to vaccinate 40% of its population, though the pandemic has resulted in 4.2mm COVID infections and 128k deaths in the country. Positano has fared much better, with a meager 130 infections and no deaths. 1:48 – Improving Tourism PictureVenice hotels have recently reported 70% occupancy and anticipated bookings for Summer 2021. In Positano, hotel owners have indicated current occupancy in the 50-80% range, with more guests arriving on the weekends. Meanwhile, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence reported a 40% increase in visits from the first to the fourth week of May. Italy expected 39 million tourists to visit in June through August, which would be a 12% YoY increase.2:42 – US to Italy: Airport ExperienceAt Newark Liberty Airport, the check-in process caused confusion among passengers, as limited airline personnel were present to address COVID testing & vaccination concerns. On the other hand, the arrival experience at Rome's Fiumicino Airport was surprisingly easy, as the authorities eliminated a mandatory antigen test for incoming passengers the day prior to Kyle's arrival.3:44 – Mask Wearing ProtocolsMasks have been required both inside and outside since October 2020, but this regulation was largely ignored in all but a few places in Positano.4:07 – Tourist CompositionMost of the non-Italian visitors in Positano during Kyle's stay were French and German, with a handful of Americans also observed. In contrast to a normal year when 80% of business comes from Americans, restaurants are mostly catering to Italian guests from elsewhere in the country.5:07 - Removal of Mask MandateOn June 28th, the outdoor mask mandate was removed across Italy, but the Campania government indicated it would remain in place for another two weeks because of India Variant concerns.5:28 – GUEST INSIGHTS: Enza and Albero Barba5:50 – Challenging Approvals for RedevelopmentThe process of moving forward with any sort of property redevelopment is never straightforward, as the local government / zoning rules are ambiguous. A certain rule may or may not exist on paper, but collaboration with authorities is still needed. 6:14 – Change & Cancellation FeesLocal property owners are suffering economically because they cannot assess the usual changes for booking changes and cancellations due to COVID.6:49 – Booking.com DominanceBooking.com is the predominant way that hotels and B&Bs advertise on the Amalfi Coast.7:24 – Competitive Hospitality EnvironmentDespite its relatively small size, the hospitality business in Positano is a very competitive one. Competitors are constantly watching each other to see whether regulations and procedures are obeyed. 8:00 – MONTHLY SURVEY8:15 - Which of the following European countries wi&

The way I've discovered success later in life is like the old Bob Dylan quote, “If a man wakes up in the morning and goes to bed at night, and in between does what he likes, then he is a success”. I think, that is the best definition because it's really a story you can write yourself. We always think that when I get to this stage in my business I'll sell it, I'll be happy, but you won't. That won't make you happy in all this sort of state of yours, hold your happiness hostage to something in the future, I'll just do this deal, or do another year, or sell this business, and then I'll be happy. It doesn't happen.  1:52     I thought that you had to be able to buy and sell a business and make hundreds of millions or billions to be worthy5:50     Success is one example, but a lot of our identity and our relationships are embedded around us.8:41     We always think that when I get to this stage in my business I'll sell it, I'll be happy, but you won't.15:41   A mentor said to me take as much cash as you can out the business, and stick it into real estate, stick it into assets19:04   As an entrepreneur you're always thinking or scheming or is plotting or is trying to do something betterhttp://www.grahamdbrown.com About Graham Brown - 15 years helping corporates, startup founders and storytellers find their voice- Public speaker, published author, investor- Founder CEO Pikkal & Co - we create award winning podcasts for brands- Podcast Guesting Pro - get booked on 24 podcasts in the next 6 months- Founder The Podcast Accelerator - global mastermind of podcast hosts & producers- Podcast show host @ Podcast Maps- Author Podcasting for Brands- Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Psychology (Sussex University)- Entrepreneurship (Harvard Business School HBX)- Ironman triathleteGraham is the founder of Pikkal & Co - Award Winning Podcast Agency – an AI Powered, Data Driven B2B Podcast Agency in Singapore and The Podcast Accelerator - a Mastermind of thought leadership podcast hosts.He is a published author on the subject of The Digital Transformation of Communication, works including "The Human Communication Playbook", “The Mobile Youth: Voices of the Connected Generation” – documenting the rise of mobile culture in the early 2000s in Japan, China, Africa and India and “Brand Love – How to Build a Brand Worth Talking About”.He also hosts Podcast Maps, The Be More Human Podcast, The XL Podcast, XL: 10 Minute Leaders Live and Asia Tech Podcast.

Data protection and competition enforcement have been on a collision course in recent years. The Big Tech platforms have amassed powerful market share with vast amounts of user data. This inevitable convergence is shaping up on both sides of the Atlantic. U.S. President Joe Biden has appointed notable antitrust proponents to powerful government positions in recent months. And in Brussels, the European Commission has released a slew of draft legislation to help bolster its Digital Single Market efforts, curtail Big Tech hegemony, and promote competition. Journalist Samuel Stolton has been following these developments with an ear to the ground in Brussels. Host Jedidiah Bracy recently caught up with Stolton right as news emerged that Amazon faces a record $888 million fine related to GDPR violations.

Body language and non-verbal gestures are the first things we notice when we meet someone in person, but what about in the virtual world? Is it the same? According to the European Commission, in 2019, only 5.4% of employees in the EU worked from home. However, in March 2020, this number had drastically increased, with most non-essential workers forced to work from home as the EU was in lockdown. This meant a new world of virtual meetings and conducting business remotely. However, aside from the technology issues, many people did not know how to conduct themselves in the virtual business world. And today, we are returning to in-person meetings after 18 months of being behind the camera, so how are we adapting? As we transition to this blended business world, we need to be aware of out body language and we give off? In this episode, we speak with one of Europe's premier body language experts about how you can leave a lasting impression in virtual meetings and in the new normal.

Sylvia Rohde-Liebenau is the former Managerial Advisor of Leadership Development and Coaching at the European Investment Bank, where she advanced leaders for almost 18 years. Currently, she is both the Founder and Executive Coach at Connect4impact. She started coaching to help people and organizations emerge and excel as impactful leaders. She is an EMCC-accredited coach and works primarily with international and financial organizations. Throughout her career, she also served as a Senior Consultant for Ramboll Management and a Programme Manager for the European Commission. In this episode… It can be all too easy for leaders to get tunnel vision with their companies. With constant pressure and growing demands, the focus becomes fixed on the numbers while leaving room for little else. A lot can get lost in this in-between, from mental health to employee satisfaction to the long-term performance of the business. It's not a sustainable model, and it often leads to stagnation in many organizations. According to Sylvia Rohde-Liebenau, a successful coach and leadership expert, improving as a leader comes from self-awareness, stillness, and a priority for stress management. Sylvia has worked for the European Investment Bank and the European Commission, accumulating over 25 years of leadership development experience. She has witnessed the lasting effects of burnout, stress, and ineffective communication — so she decided to do something about it. Dov Pollack invites Sylvia Rohde-Liebenau, the former Managerial Advisor of Leadership Development and Coaching at the European Investment Bank, on the podcast to learn about her unique approach to leadership coaching. She explains her techniques to center yourself and improve communication. She also dives into her philosophy on embodying your emotions and how that translates into performance. They even take time to go over her personal journey from corporate consultant to successful coach.

Summary: Today, Martin and I talk government and crypto—in the face of the national debt, the US is depending on the cheapening of dollars to pay back debt that has grown exponentially in the last decade. Additionally, we face other probing questions in looking at Europe's 2030 agenda. Ending democracy and implementing shared power between nations would have many interesting implications, and we dive into some of these. We discuss IMF and the push to create a universal digital currency, which would be above all laws and change cryptocurrency as we know it. Tune in to listen as we implore possibilities in crypto for the coming years, and the interplay between debt, governing strategy, and digital currency. Highlights: -DOW - a bull market everyone loves to hate, and Marty called it -Over the years, Martin has dealt with a lot of government in the analytical field -We can't continue to borrow year after year without the intention of paying back -National debt has more than doubled within a decade; government has the intention of paying back with cheaper dollars -This is now coming to a head -The problem is not the US, but Europe -Europe went to negative interest rates in 2014 - 7 years later they are still unable to stimulate the economy -Pension funds are insolvent -Martin's solution: stop this and re-design it, but for freedom -8 points for 2030 agenda - ending democracy, US no longer a superpower, shared power between nations - one world government idea -Heat map is dark red for Europe -Many people untrained in the field are now suddenly climate activists and experts. Those who aren't necessary qualified are making these big decisions -Handing the power of the US to the UN is off the wall -Schwabb says democracy has to go - keep in mind checks and balances on human rights -European Commission that makes laws does not stand for election—neither does the head of the EU
-When we see Biden and $6 million proposals, it's because we are looking to modern monetary theory—borrowing is not feasible anymore -Government spending increasing by buying all the government bonds in Europe -"we can just print more money and it won't cause inflation” -Assets, real-estate, art, etc. retains value and are going up drastically -DOW going up dramatically and people still analyzing it with old-school methods -Where is crypto headed? -You have to be careful…there is a group above the UN (FAFT) that is concerned with money laundering and wants it to drop *know your client -Ending the idea that somehow cryptocurrency is out of the government -Pushing hard to create an IMF digital currency - all cryptocurrencies would be devolved into this new IMF coin. Why? This would replace the dollar as reserve currency -Martin: opposed to IMF because it is not an elected body, and is outside the jurisdiction of countries—they are above all law internationally. Period. -What's going on with the gold flash crash? They lost their targeted gold -They are tracking every ounce of gold—where it comes from/goes. They realize gold is an escape valve and have been trying to restrain it as much as possible -This isn't to take away inflation; this is about money and control. They don't want any competition—it's about power -Half the world is acquiring gold at the same time, which might be problematic -Communism failed because it didn't have the entire world -The reset scam will fail—the only way they could pull it off is if they could get Russia and China involved -Three Gorges Dam and Chinese flooding—if the dam goes, much of the Chinese economy goes with it -The climate change argument is serious because the UN is using this to promote the one government idea - climate change must be fought by a unified government -We still have regional/cultural differences -History repeats itself -Miami becoming financial capital of US—what is going to happen to New York? -People can't be evicted; land lord can't collect rent -Will all private housing become government housing? This would essentially make New York a ghetto -This system doesn't function this way—it only would be able to do so by the communist regime Useful Links: Armstrong Economics

Extreme weather across Europe, North America and Asia is highlighting a harsh reality of science and history: The world as a whole is neither prepared to slow down climate change nor live with it.European officials are trying to change that. The European Commission, the E.U.'s executive arm, recently introduced ambitious legislation aimed at sharply cutting emissions to slow down climate change within the next decade, specifically by weaning one of the world's biggest and most polluting economies off fossil fuels. But can it generate the political will to see it through?Guest: Somini Sengupta, the international climate reporter for The New York Times.Sign up here to get The Daily in your inbox each morning.

Arguably one of the biggest problems facing the world right now is disinformation. It’s fueled everything from the spread of QAnon conspiracy theories to the Capitol Insurrection to anti-vaccination movements — all of which undermine democracy and public health. Lawmakers and researchers in the U.S. have demanded that social media platforms do more to deal with disinformation. But what about the European Union, which has aggressively regulated tech in other ways and has historically been more willing to police speech than the U.S. has? Host Molly Wood interviews Margarethe Vestager, executive vice president of the European Commission. Vestager oversaw an EU legislative proposal, the Digital Services Act, which would require online platforms to do more to tackle things like hate speech.

European Commission announces radical plans to cut carbon emissions over next decade; King of the Zulu nation says recent rioting and looting in South Africa shames the whole country; Rare eye-witness testimony over what's happening in Ethiopia's disputed Tigray region.

The European Union has led the charge on regulating Big Tech companies for years now. Europe's General Data Protection Regulation was the first major rule on the transfer and tracking of personal data. The EU has also given the rest of the world a new way to think about tackling the American giants: Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon. Last year, the EU produced two proposals for regulation that labeled the biggest tech companies “gatekeepers” meaning they control or restrict access to other companies, apps or services. Host Molly Wood speaks with Margrethe Vestager, the executive vice president of the European Commission who oversaw the proposals.
