For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Rick Carew, full-time investor as well as visiting lecturer at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia and former Reporter and Editor at the Wall Street Journal covering Asia Finance. I recently met Rick via Twitter when chatting about one of the recent Due Diligence pods; after learning more about his background and expertise, we had to do an episode. At the University of Virginia, Rick has taught a course titled, "Global Digital Divide: Big Tech in a Multipolar World" that explores how executives and policymakers are grappling with the rise of Big Tech across the globe with a particular emphasis on Silicon Valley and China's tech ecosystems. Considering all the news around China, technology and as we discuss on the show, the implications of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's imminent re-election for a third term, I thought the timing was perfect to have Rick on to chat about all of these topics. And as a bonus, we also get into Rick's approach to MicroCap investing, his opinion on why investing in MicroCaps can generate outsized returns and of course, why investors should be highly skeptical of US-listed MicroCaps with operations in China.  You can Follow Rick Carew on Twitter @RickCarew: https://twitter.com/rickcarew Today's episode is sponsored by: Stream by AlphaSense, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

It will be the megacenter of world commerce and will influence the nations (and their leaders) with immorality (false religion). Read Revelation Chapters 17 and 18.   Babylon the Great Harlot will become a center of Islamic commerce and religion. Babylon is the New World Order's substitute for Jerusalem. ________________________________________   END TIME BABYLON GLOBAL COMMERCE CENTEREND TIME INFLUENCE OF ESG, WEF AND RESET BABYLON WILL BE CAPITAL OF NEW GLOBAL "COMMERCE" BUT NOT THE CAPITAL OF NEW GLOBAL "GOVERNANCE"   Just as Babylon was the headquarters for the first world dictator―Nimrod―so the NEW BABYLON will be the headquarters of NEW NIMROD: the FINAL New Global Governance dictator: a despot and worse than tyrant. The New Global Governance leader will be chosen by the NWO―New World Order (or whatever name the organization ascribes to itself at that time). He will be the FALSE mashiach (messiah) and the greatest enemy that Israel and the Jewish People have ever known. Turkey will probably become the headquarters for the New Global GOVERNANCE. In due time it will become obvious that it will in effect be the (clandestine) headquarters of the NIO: New Islamic Order. As the Global GOVERNANCE Center, Turkey will come into position―may break away from its previous European and western associations―and, as the Eastern leg of the old Roman Empire, it will be the epicenter of Islamic geopolitical and financial concourse, fostering the development of New Babylon COMMERCE Center: international commercial, political and religious centre of the world. New Babylon will work in alignment―for a season―with the New Global Governance leader: the FALSE Messiah. New Babylon Global COMMERCE Centerwill later be destroyed by a confederacy of Ten Regional Leaders―who actually support her development at first―and who align themselves with the dictates of the New Governance Leader: the FALSE Messiah. TAKE AWAY: Israel's leaders―and Mossad―must pray for discernment and insight in the coming commercial, geopolitical and religious shifts. Watch Turkey, watch the UN and its evolution / transition into the New World Governance ... and watch for the New Nimrod: a man of “supposed” peace who will appear on the world stage. This New Nimrod will broker a seven year peace agreement―a covenant just like Daniel prophesied―and in the middle of the seven years, he (the False Mashiach) will go into the newly built Temple of the Jews and declare that he is G-d: the overspreading of abomination just like Daniel prophesied (and an anti-type of Antiochus IV Epiphanes who desecrated the Temple around 167 BCE. ISLAM will likely be ONE catalyst which will bring about the New Global Governance (think UN or NWO). NOTE: ESG and WEF may also bring about a RESET which will be used by Satan as TWO other catalysts to bring about New Global Governance. CHINA and the Kings of the East will be a FOURTH catalyst to forming the New Global Governance. Muslim terrorism is now global. You will begin to see the loss of your right to privacy. Israel and the USA will be the key targets of this attack. Islamic terrorism will be ONE active agent to frighten people into wanting New World Governance ... along with Global Reset by ESG and WEF. In exchange for being allowed to build her Temple, Israel will sign a peace treaty with the coming world leader: the FALSE messiah. New Babylon [a literal city] will arise with support from a 10 region cooperative of GEOPOLITICAL leaders who give support to the future Global Governance Leader: the FALSE Messiah, the antiChrist. [NOTE: these 10 world leaders will later work with the antichrist to DESTROY New Babylon.] READ REVELATION CHAPTERS 13, 17 & 18 So what should you do? PRAY ~ PREPARE ~ TEACH. Make all the money you can to invest in: 1. God's Work and Workers; and, 2. Purchase what you need to become ~ and remain ~ independent [and in some cases "off the grid" when necessary] as long as you can while doing God's Work! Prophetic happenings are speeding up! WATCH these forces: ESG / WEF / RESET CHINA ISLAM Baruch haba b'Shem ADONAI.

Mark Metcalf, Lecturer in Global Commerce at the McIntire School (UVA), discusses "How the PLA Applies Sunzi's Art of War to Contemporary Warfare." This lecture took place at The Institute of World Politics on July 21, 2022. About the Lecture: Over the past decade, PLA-affiliated authors and publishers have produced numerous academically-rigorous texts that are used to teach its members about Sunzi and how his teachings should be regarded in the context of modern warfare. Many of the perspectives that are discussed are distinctly Chinese, not apparent to most Western readers, and provide unique insights into the ways that the PLA views modern warfare. About the Speaker: Mark Metcalf joins the McIntire School in 2020 as a Lecturer in Global Commerce teaching “Doing Business in China,” a seminar that investigates the historical, political, and sociological roots of business practices and norms in the PRC. Since 2014, he has taught courses in Chinese literature in UVA's Department of East Asian Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, including a semester-long seminar on The Art of War. Prior to UVA, Professor Metcalf spent over 25 years as a contractor working as a Signals Analyst, Systems Engineer, Project Manager (PMP), Technical Translator (Russian and Chinese), and Intelligence Analyst in support of the Department of Defense and other U.S. government agencies; assignments involved extensive travel to Europe, Asia, and Australia. This was preceded by service as a Naval Officer, during which he was initially assigned aboard a frigate homeported in Japan, where he qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer. He subsequently transferred to the Naval Security Group and spent the majority of his naval career as a Naval Cryptologist, retiring at the rank of Commander. Professor Metcalf's current research is focused on contemporary Chinese military perspectives regarding strategy and ethics. He enjoys translating and analyzing Chinese military texts in order to better understand the PRC military's approaches to decision making. He is particularly interested in understanding the uniquely Chinese historical and philosophical roots that engender such practices, perspectives that are often misunderstood in the West. Professor Metcalf has published his research in academic and professional journal articles and book chapters. He has been invited to the U.S. Naval War College to give presentations about topics ranging from the role of technical standardization in Chinese PLA Navy ship construction, to Chinese perspectives on the relevance of The Art of War to modern warfare. Since 2017, he has participated in the annual Regional Security Working Group held at China Foreign Affairs University in Beijing.

What's behind the American philanthropic spirit and Tom's experience donating 30 million dollars to Notre Dame. How to have high expectations, recognition of the individual, and humanity in business and in life and the power of catching someone doing something right.Quotes from the show:“More than 50% of the top 200 startups in the last decade are founded by immigrants… technology or leadership can come from anywhere.” — Tom Mendoza [16:51] On his dad: “He always felt the need to make sure that people felt appreciated, which had a big influence on me.” — Tom Mendoza [19:06] On the conditions of his endowed scholarship: “Number one: I don't care if it's man, woman, Black, white, it's got to be the kid's dream to go to Notre Dame. So if you give the kid the Mendoza scholarship, and that kid says I'm going to consider it, you blew it… Whatever school you're attached to and care about, there's an amazing amount of people really wanting to go there.” — Tom Mendoza [21:44] “If you're going to give back, I felt education was the best thing you could give to the people. Anyone who criticizes what people give to probably don't give to anything… I felt that that's a gift that really does keep on giving. If you give people an education that might not have got it, you're helping the planet, you're helping the people.” — Tom Mendoza [30:40] “You don't get to choose how your money's being spent when you pay taxes. You get to choose how your donations are being used.” — Syd Finkelstein [33:05] “What's networking about? When you help other people, that's actually the best way to help yourself.” — Syd Finkelstein [34:50]On NetApp's success: “We grew from 0 to 1 billion in revenue in six years.” — Tom Mendoza [39:48]“What is the behavior that we want to witness wherever we do business in the world? That's the culture that we want to promote, which means if we sign up for it, that's the action we will take, that's how we will act, that's what we'll hire to, that's what we will rate people against.” — Tom Mendoza [45:33]“It's a great filter when you make decisions to ask yourself if you're proud of that decision — Tom Mendoza [46:07]“No matter what you're doing there's always room to help out other people, to influence other people.” — Syd Finkelstein [48:51]“People emulate the behavior you recognize. That's why it's important you're thoughtful about how you give recognition.” — Tom Mendoza [54:53]Stay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastTom MendozaLinkedin: Tom MendozaTwitter: @TomMendozaTalksForbes: Tom Mendoza Contributor ProfileSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.
