Justine Walker sits down with Dawson Law, a senior advisor on geopolitical risk and compliance. Their conversation explores potential scenarios for Iran, including protracted conflict, partial sanctions relief, and regime collapse — highlighting how economic measures and geopolitical negotiations could shape different outcomes. They also consider broader global developments, from shifting Gulf investment patterns to U.S. policy on Cuba, China, and export controls. Throughout, the episode underscores growing sanctions divergence between the U.S. and its allies, and the need for companies to prepare for geopolitical and regulatory uncertainty. Dawson Law previously served for over a decade as a U.S. diplomat at the US Department of State where he worked on the Iran Desk and was posted at the US Embassies in Sudan, Poland, Vietnam and Australia. He later worked as a senior sanctions policy advisor at the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and served as the first U.S. Treasury Representative to the United Kingdom, supporting transatlantic coordination on economic statecraft including Iran sanctions and illicit finance.

If you want to get the skinny on anything related to financial markets or the financial system, then you need to talk with Samim Ghamami, Chief Economist of the New York state Insurance Fund.  That's what Mark and Cris do on this podcast.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Barbara Kelemen, Associate Director for Geoeconomics & Global Risks at Dragonfly on this week’s International News Review. We begin with the Iran conflict, which is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Tankers are breaking down under a flood of tainted fuel, supply chains are tightening. Barbara explains how this crisis is reshaping risk assessments for governments and multinationals across Asia, the world’s largest energy‑importing region. We then zoom out to the global macro outlook, where geopolitical volatility, fragmented regulation, and rising protectionism are creating a more complex operating environment for businesses. Barbara shares Dragonfly’s geopolitical forecast for the second half of 2026, including the flashpoints to watch and the scenarios that could shift markets overnight. Finally, we look at the APAC impact: how companies in Singapore and across the region are adapting their strategies, diversifying supply chains, and preparing for a world defined by uncertainty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 305 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Rob Beller and Lee Boyd welcome Andrew Yeoman, Co-founder and CEO of Concirrus, joining from the UK. Andrew shares how his company is transforming specialty insurance underwriting through AI powered automation, domain specific intelligence, and a relentless focus on real business outcomes. Andrew explains how Concirrus helps insurers dramatically reduce manual work, accelerate quoting, and unlock underwriting capacity without increasing headcount. Drawing on years of experience across insurance and technology, he offers a unique perspective on why AI alone is not the differentiator and why the real opportunity lies in rethinking business models around it. The conversation goes beyond today's use cases, exploring the concept of "but for" companies which are businesses that only exist because of AI and what that means for the future of insurance, underwriting, and entrepreneurship. Key Highlights [03:45] Andrew Yeoman Joins from the UK A multinational episode kicks off with Andrew introducing his background and proximity to the heart of the insurance market near Lloyd's of London. [05:00] Award Winning AI in Action How Concirrus helped a customer grow from 25M to 100M in premium without increasing headcount, earning top industry AI awards. [07:30] What Concirrus Actually Does An overview of the platform automating the entire underwriting lifecycle from submission ingestion to quote, bind, and policy administration. [09:30] Automating the Work Underwriters Don't Want to Do Why eliminating administrative tasks roughly 40 percent of an underwriter's time unlocks productivity and improves job satisfaction. [11:15] From 48 Hours to 90 Seconds How AI driven workflows reduced time to quote by over 90 percent, transforming responsiveness and competitiveness. [12:45] Why One Size AI Doesn't Work in Underwriting The importance of domain specific AI models tailored to different specialty lines like aviation, marine, and crisis risk. [16:30] The Evolution Toward Specialty Insurance How early lessons in data overload and usability led to a focus on simplifying underwriting in complex, underserved specialty markets. [20:30] Reinventing the Company Around AI Andrew shares how Concirrus reset in 2023, leveraging AI at the right moment to rebuild with strong domain expertise. [22:00] Why "AI Native" Is Becoming Meaningless A candid take on how AI is quickly becoming table stakes not a true differentiator. [23:30] The Rise of "But For" Companies A powerful framework businesses that only exist because of AI and why they represent the next wave of innovation. [27:15] The Idea of the One Person Insurance Company Exploring the possibility of a billion dollar MGA run by a single person supported by AI agents. [29:30] New Insurance Products Enabled by AI How dynamic, adaptive policies could optimize coverage in real time based on customer behavior and context. [33:10] A Golden Age for Insurance Innovation Why Andrew believes we are entering an unprecedented era of opportunity driven by AI and technological advancement. [34:45] Can the Industry Keep Up? Why MGAs may lead innovation while carriers provide the balance sheet and how the ecosystem evolves together. [36:00] The Role of Vendors in an AI World Why success comes from clearing the path for customers not pushing technology for its own sake.

This week's discussion focuses on a market that continues to advance despite crosscurrents in geopolitics, inflation, and monetary policy. The team reviews steady gains in equities, resilient labor data, and improving productivity, offset by persistent inflation uncertainty tied to energy prices and global tensions. Panelists outline why the Federal Reserve remains on hold amid internal disagreement and shifting leadership expectations, while bond markets emphasize carry over duration risk. In equities, earnings momentum and AI related themes are broadening beyond traditional leaders, creating both opportunity and valuation risk. The conversation closes with a look at tariffs and trade policy, which remain a source of uncertainty but appear less market moving than earlier in the year. Speakers:Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment StrategyGeorge Mateyo, Chief Investment OfficerRajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed IncomeSam Snyder, Director of Equity Research 01:30 — Weekly market overview and key economic releases04:19 — Iran geopolitical developments and oil price implications07:17 — Fed policy outlook, inflation risks, and rate expectations13:06 — Equity market performance, AI themes, and market breadth17:13 — Tariffs, trade policy, and near‑term market relevance Additional ResourcesRead Now: Key Questions: Are Your Young Adult's Essential Documents Ready for Graduation?Read Now: From Drafts to Decisions: Estate Planning Beyond AI Key QuestionsWeekly Investment BriefSubscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletterFollow us on LinkedIn

Indrani De explains how Middle East tensions are reshaping markets, embedding a permanent risk premium in oil while pushing investors toward new defensive plays. She argues that mega‑cap tech names like Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) now function as defensives, while A.I. supply‑chain leaders in Taiwan and South Korea, including TSMC (TSM), benefit from risk‑on sentiment. De also highlights listed infrastructure and select emerging markets like Brazil as key inflation hedges despite slower global growth.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In a recent podcast conversation with Adam Lupel, we explored the growing mismatch between today's global risks and the United Nations' capacity to respond effectively. Our discussion ranged from Security Council paralysis and the corrosive effects of veto use, to the UN's limited ability to address contemporary threats such as civil conflict, state fragility, and transnational risks. We also examined why disarmament and prevention—once central to the UN's mission—have weakened, and what it would take to restore them as credible pillars of collective security. Importantly, we considered forward-looking ideas, including the role of an Earth System Council in addressing planetary instability as a security issue, and the need to deepen civil society participation to strengthen legitimacy. These questions go to the heart of a broader challenge: how to modernize global governance so the UN can evolve into a more effective, problem-solving institution at the center of international cooperation. We invite you to listen to the full conversation and engage with these critical issues.Learn more on GlobalGovernanceForum.org

Rod Dodson, hedge fund manager, global risk expert, and fellow Substacker is back on the podcast today to talk about the war with Iran and its strategic implications. In particular, Ron and I delve into what strategic objectives ought to be in a conflict like this one that pits a global superpower against a middle power that sits astride a global trade artery.e discuss the dynamics of alliance politics and how they influence decision making and may not always work in the interest of the stronger party. We both agree that while the war is demonstrating the value of a military alliance with Israel and the Arab states at the operational level, but disagree on the extent to which those alliances negatively impact America's grand strategy.We also discuss the information domain and the propaganda war that has emerged in the American media, and the Trump administration's apparent mishandling of the messaging. Ron rightly points out here and in his American Mind articles linked below that the constant reference to a nuclear threat hasn't done the administration any favors.

The World Economic Forum recently published a Global Risks Perception Survey which lists both long-term and short-term risks, their impacts, and a severity index by category: environmental, geopolitical, societal, and technological. The report analyses global risks through three timeframes to support decision-makers in balancing current crises and longer-term priorities; this latest report seems to indicate that the progressive focus of the past has been supplanted by a regressive setback. Why this change? Why this re-ordering of severity and need? Who is responsible?

Raich also highlights opportunities in regional banks like Fifth Third (FITB) and U.S. Bancorp (USB), with Citigroup (C) serving as a key gauge of global economic and energy‑related risk.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Shipping Expert Sal Mercogliano on Iran, Red Sea Disruptions, and the Future of U.S. Ports On the Industrial Advisors podcast, Bill Condon and Matt McGregor interview shipping and logistics expert Sal Mercogliano, a former merchant mariner and professor who created the YouTube channel "What's Going On With Shipping," which grew rapidly after the Ever Given Suez incident. Mercogliano explains how conflict involving Iran is disrupting shipping through insurance constraints in the Persian Gulf, affecting energy flows and container trade, and compounding Red Sea diversions around Africa and increased reliance on the Panama Canal. He describes how supply chain shocks ripple globally, raising surcharges and likely freight rates. The conversation covers post-COVID diversification away from overreliance on China toward other Asian countries, though China remains significant.

We imagine the internet as invisible—wireless, ethereal, everywhere and nowhere. The truth is far more precarious. Nearly 95% of global data moves through 900,000 miles of fiber optic cable lying unprotected on the ocean floor, controlled increasingly by four American tech giants. When Tonga's single cable was severed in 2022, ATMs went dark and the country vanished from the world. That was an accident.

As India updates the way it measures inflation, Monika explains why the revision of the Consumer Price Index base year from 2012 to 2024 matters and what it really means for households. Drawing on new data from the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey, she breaks down how the CPI basket evolves over time to reflect changing consumption patterns — from the decline of outdated products to the rise of digital services, transport, and other modern expenses. The episode clarifies how shifts in weightages, especially the reduced share of food and the higher share of services, will influence headline inflation and policymaking.Monika also explains why the CPI is an average that may not match individual experience, and how the new index should give policymakers a more accurate picture of real household spending pressures. She highlights that lower food weight may make inflation appear less volatile, while costs that matter most to many middle-class families — healthcare, education, housing, and services — continue to rise faster than the headline number. The key takeaway: inflation data is improving, but personal financial planning should always be based on one's own spending patterns, not just official statistics.In listener questions, Anonymous asks how global developments such as U.S. debt concerns, de-dollarisation, and shifting geopolitical power could affect Indian markets and whether investors should change their asset allocation or SIP strategy; Djay from Mumbai seeks guidance on retirement planning for couples and how to estimate and invest toward a child's education corpus; and Ramya Srinivasan writes about deploying proceeds from a property sale, weighing PMS investments against mutual funds, and the best way to move a lump sum into equity over time.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) What the New Consumer Price Index Means for You(00:00 – 00:00) How Changes in the CPI Basket and Weightages Affect Inflation and Policy(00:00 – 00:00) Global Risks, Market Crashes and Staying Invested Through Uncertainty(00:00 – 00:00) Planning Retirement as a Couple and Building a Child Education Corpus(00:00 – 00:00) PMS vs Mutual Funds and How to Deploy a Large Lump Sumhttps://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/why-india-needs-a-new-gold-standard-101770307424675.htmlhttps://www.mospi.gov.in/uploads/latestreleasesfiles/1770893247472-Press%20Relase%20of%20CPI%20for%20Jan26.pdfIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

By removing guardrails around nuclear weapons, the Trump administration is making the world a far more dangerous place. On this episode of After America, Jon B Wolfsthal, former Special Assistant to President Obama for National Security Affairs, joins Dr Emma Shortis to discuss the expiry of the New START nuclear weapons treaty between the United States and Russia, AUKUS and Australia’s nuclear capabilities, and why “nuclear weapons are back with avengeance”.

As the global insurance market becomes more competitive, the first place to notice the change is usually the wholesale segment, because it's always at the margins where all the most dynamic pricing action occurs. But whilst falling rates can prove a headwind to growth, as long as submission flows hold up and deals keep being done a more competitive market can be a more attractive one for new business because it is more welcoming to innovative ideas. Today's guest is perfectly placed to see what is happening because he runs a business with around $4 billion dollars of wholesale premiums running through it. So that's why I'm delighted to welcome Nick Abraham CEO of Amwins Global Risks (AGR) to the show. As the International subsidiary of one the dominant trio of major US wholesale brokers, after entering the London Market via strategic M&A, over the past decade AGR has grown its position rapidly to become a major force in the London and global wholesale markets The discussion is very rich and deep in places but it is also broad-ranging, moving from detail on AGR's overall strategy to the specific opportunities and challenges of current market conditions and the possibility of shifting alliances relating to retail broker consolidation, all the way through to the likely long-term impact of technological change on the way wholesale business will be transacted in the future Nick is a charming and eloquent guest who is easy-going, fun and engaging. He is full of passion for the job and this shines though in our interview. All this makes for a really enjoyable and informative Episode.

In this episode, we discuss why the right to an attorney remains one of the most important protections in the American legal system, using Gideon v. Wainwright to examine how due process actually functions in practice. We explore the recent surge in gold and silver prices, weighing inflation fears against global instability and market psychology, and consider how Trump's negotiation style plays out in diplomacy and financial markets. We also examine a new film about Melania Trump, why it misses the larger political moment, and how culture increasingly drifts away from economic reality. We then turn to the so-called Great Wealth Transfer, where we explore how inheritances shape labor markets, housing prices, charitable giving, and long-term economic behavior, along with the unintended consequences that massive shifts in wealth can create for policy, taxation, and inequality. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:29 The Story Behind the Right to an Attorney (Gideon v.

In this episode, Ricardo analyzes the 21st edition of the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2026, highlighting the end of predictability and the beginning of the so-called "era of competition." The report points to a more turbulent global scenario, with 50% of leaders predicting instability in the next two years, driven by geoeconomic confrontation that threatens global supply chains. Ricardo explains that in the economic field, high global debt and increased spending on defense, energy transition, and artificial intelligence make capital more expensive and scarcer, requiring extreme financial rigor in projects. Misinformation intensifies social polarization. As a strategic response, the report proposes a "coalition of the willing": moving forward with truly committed groups, without waiting for total consensus. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

In this episode, Dominic Bowen and Emily Winterbotham discuss how Afghanistan has evolved since the Taliban's return to power, challenging simplified narratives around security, terrorism, and international disengagement. Drawing on extensive field experience and long-term research, they examine why Afghanistan remains a critical test case for counterterrorism, regional geopolitics, and global risk management.Find out more about how the Taliban have reshaped the country's security landscape since 2021, including the shifting threat posed by ISKP, the limits of Afghanistan as a terrorist hub, and why some regional actors now view engagement with the Taliban as a pragmatic risk-containment strategy rather than an endorsement of their rule.The conversation also addresses the devastating human consequences of Taliban governance, with a particular focus on what the United Nations has described as gender apartheid. Emily explains how the systematic exclusion of women and girls from education, healthcare, and public life undermines long-term stability, peacebuilding, and state legitimacy -and why inclusive governance remains essential for durable security.Finally, they explore the role of the international community in Afghanistan's future, unpacking Western withdrawal, moral trade-offs around humanitarian aid, Russia's decision to recognise the Taliban, and the lessons policymakers must learn from past hypocrisy, warlord politics, and missed opportunities for inclusive peace.Emily Winterbotham is the Director of Terrorism and Conflict Studies at RUSI, where she leads work across London, Brussels, and Nairobi on terrorism, counterterrorism, peacebuilding, and fragile states, with a particular focus on Asia, especially Afghanistan and Pakistan. For over 15 years, she has combined desk research and field postings in international policy environments, including a decade working on conflict in Afghanistan. Between 2009 and 2015, she operated in Afghanistan and Pakistan and conducted community-based qualitative work for the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit, studying conflict resolution, reconciliation, and pathways for demobilising and reintegrating former Taliban fighters. She also serves as a Deployable Civilian Expert for the UK Government's Stabilisation Unit. Emily is co-author of Countering Violent Extremism: Making Gender Matter (2020) and Conflict, Violent Extremism and Development: New Challenges, New Responses (2018), and her CVE research addresses the concept of gendered radicalisation and how counter-extremism programs can better integrate gender perspectives.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

A year into Trump's second term, guests examine how India, China, Russia and other big powers are recalibrating strategies in a shifting global order.2026 has already been marked by significant geopolitical upheaval. US military intervention in Latin America points to a wider trend: the return of a world order shaped by hard power, where rules and international law are increasingly sidelined.The international landscape is rapidly evolving. But how are other major powers responding? How is this impacting international financial markets?This episode explores how India, China, Russia and other big powers are changing their strategies in response to this new phase of US foreign policy. Moving beyond the usual focus of what's happening in Washington, D.C., it examines the perspectives of other key regions and how these shifts are redefining their economic interests, and defence and security agendas. GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalH.E.

What should a great financial planning experience actually look like? For many investors, “financial planning” is reduced to product selection, performance chasing, or a one-time retirement projection that never gets revisited. In reality, a high-quality financial planning experience is far more comprehensive — and far more valuable. Richard Rosso breaks down the essential elements of effective financial planning. True financial planning is not about predicting markets or selling products. It is about building a durable framework that helps investors make better decisions through market cycles, life changes, and economic uncertainty. Whether you are working with an advisor or managing your finances independently, understanding what a great planning experience looks like can help you avoid costly mistakes and set more realistic expectations for long-term success. 0:00 - INTRO 0:20 - Financial Planning, PBS, & Benny Hill 4:08 - Comparisons of Big Box Brokerages' Financial Plans 7:52 - Financial Goals are Being Re-shuffled 12:54 - Financial Planners' Meaningless Titles 15:32 - Financial Advisors as Holistic Partners 23:00 - Maintaining Behavioral Balance 27:32 - Bad Gift-giving & Financial Swiffers 32:50 - Accumulation & De-cumulation Expertise Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhVoQc7adgU&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Markets Oversold After Key Support Break," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ITeHTYtt1Q&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Watch our previous show, "Is the 60/40 Portfolio Dead?
