This week on Swimming with Allocators, Juan Diego Briceno (JDB) shares his journey from New York private banking and Latin American wealth management to building and spinning out Pomifer Capital, an “extension of family office teams” focused on private equity and venture capital. He explains how sophisticated family offices think about alternatives, why many learn the hard way that they shouldn't try to be full-time VCs, and how to avoid adverse selection in both direct deals and co-investments. The conversation covers hype cycles and climate investing, the dangers of over-concentrating in themes, what makes a family office truly institutional-ready, and how to design a durable venture program through vintage diversification, strategy mix, and manager selection. JDB also breaks down key differences between PE and VC (from GP backgrounds to data transparency), why traditional PE-style co-investing often fails in venture, and how creative structures like lower management fees with higher carry can better align GPs and LPs. Also, Michael Podolny of Sidley explains how current macro uncertainty and the AI boom are slowing some venture deals, concentrating capital into a few “prized” AI companies, driving consolidation and acqui-hires, and sparking an early comeback of SPACs for high-growth startups. Highlights from this week's conversation include: Learning to Relentlessly Advocate for Clients in Wealth Management (1:10) Climate Co Investments and Managing Venture Hype Cycles (3:26) Why Family Offices Should Not Do All Venture Deals Direct (5:38) Spinning Out to Create Pomifer Capital (8:02) Designing PE and VC Programs With Patient, Flexible Capital (10:03) Examples of Patient Capital and Holding Concentrated Winners (12:12) Macro Environment and AI-Driven Markets (15:12) How Startup Legal Practice Has Evolved and Globalized (18:25) Automating Rote Legal Work and Focusing on High Stakes Advice (19:55) Why Starting a Venture Program Is Hard for Family Offices (21:08) Traits of Top-Performing Venture Managers (23:31) Questions to Test GP Self Awareness and Blind Spots (25:52) Data Transparency Differences in Private Equity and Venture (28:05) Who Should Reach Out to Pomifer For Capital (34:23) What Juan Wants to See More of in GP Strategy and Firm Design (35:27) Final Thoughts and Takeaways (37:43) Pomifer Capital Partners is a Registered Investment Adviser based in Texas, serving as an extension of family office investment teams.

1. Eric Cline discusses the Late Bronze Age through the lens of the Uluburun shipwreck, which represents the era's globalized trade network. The ship's cargo, including copper from Cyprus and tin from Afghanistan, highlights the interconnectedness of civilizations like the Egyptians, Hittites, and Mycenaeans. Cline explains that the collapse around 1177 BC was not caused by a single event but a "perfect storm" of factors, including drought, famine, earthquakes, and the Sea Peoples' migrations. This catastrophic sequence occurred so rapidly that societies lacked the time to recover, leading to a systemic failure of the ancient world's trade routes. (1)

The Uluburun Shipwreck as a Bronze Age Microcosm: Colleague Eric Cline discusses the Uluburun shipwreck, which sank around 1300 BC and serves as a time capsule for the Late Bronze Age, describing the ship as a microcosm of a globalized network carrying cargo from at least seven different civilizations including Mycenaeans, Egyptians, and Hittites, with ten tons of copper from Cyprus and tin likely from Afghanistan—enough to outfit an army of 300 soldiers with bronze gear—highlighting the sophistication of ancient trade evidenced by standardized Canaanite storage jars and a rare gold scarab belonging to Nefertiti. 1956

A new MP3 sermon from VCY America is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: UN Demands Globalized Educational Control Subtitle: Crosstalk America Speaker: Jim Schneider Broadcaster: VCY America Event: Current Events Date: 7/21/2025 Length: 53 min.
As Jim noted to begin this broadcast, we live in a time where good is considered evil and evil is considered good. In fact, the prophet Isaiah gave a troubling woe to those who take that position. The Bible also tells us that parents, particularly fathers, are to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In spite of that, the United Nations seeks to usurp that mandate to instead, raise your children in the ways of the world for what they deem, the global good. Joining Jim to discuss this continuing trend was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. Alex described how the U.N. is particularly upset with the U.S. because even though we've signed on to most international treaties, agreements and conventions, they've noted through an investigation that the 10th Amendment to the constitution is problematic for them because a lot of power over education is still controlled by state and local authorities. This means the U.S. federal government can't simply enforce the U.N.'s agenda for more LGBTQ, DEI, etc. on public schools. In the U.N.'s report, released during their 59th session of the Human Rights Council on June 16th-July 11th, they said that the aim of their U.S. investigation was to, "...gather firsthand information on the provision and enjoyment of the right to free quality and inclusive education for all and to engage in a dialogue with and offer recommendations to the government and other stakeholders in this regard."

Where and with whom do we begin? In Part 2 of the #CaribbeanThought Summer 2024 Week 1 Lecture, Prof. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary laid the foundation for the course. Prof. McKenzie reviewed the course outline and delved into some broad thinkers, texts, and general questions of the course. Rev. McKenzie begins the Lecture by making the point that, the realities of the dark ghettoes and or black and brown communities resemble the colonies and or former colonies within the caribbean. The socioeconomic realities of the black and brown peoples in the global north are similar to that of the black experience in the Caribbean which is largely made up of nations that are made of the predominantly black. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense. It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people in a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. However, the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in a deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and considering issues that will make you uncomfortable. Frantz Fanon, Homi Bhabha, C. L. R. James, Bob Marley et al, and Christianity/Religion, music and sports are currents we will explore. The episode has images of course resources; such as texts, maps, notable characters that will be referenced throughout the course, etc. The Lecture is very informative and provides an introductory level to the discussions in postcolonialism with academia and Pan African Thought. The Lecture is part of a course offered at Jamaica Theological Seminary and students seeking a 4-year degree at the seminary are required to sit the course. The course follows strict academic rigor and scrutiny. There is an exam at the end of the course. which students are required to sit. The lecture episodes are a production of The Neoliberal Corporation and are made available on The NeoLiberal Round podcast and YouTube channel for educational purposes and to promote and facilitate access to critical thinking and learning.

Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante & Literary Curator for the Guadalupe Culturalarts Center's Latino Bookstore, spotlights Dr. Mehnaaz Momen's LISTENING TO LAREDO: A BORDER CITY IN A GLOBALIZED AGE. in a lively discussion on place, identity, and the changing conditions of an American border city. Dr. Mehnaaz Momen is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences at Texas A&M International University and the author of THE PARADOX OF CITIZENSHIP IN AMERICAN POLITICS AND POLITICAL SATIRE, POSTMODERN REALITY, AND THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (Arizone Press) Her new book, LISTENING TO LAREDO: A BORDER CITY IN A GLOBALIZED AGE, gives an in depth look at the burgeoning Texas town that has grown. Nestled between Texas and Tamaulipas, @officialcityoflaredo was once a quaint border town, nurturing cultural ties across the border, attracting occasional tourists, and serving as the home of people living there for generations. In a span of mere decades, Laredo has become the largest inland port in the United States and a major hub of global trade. Listening to Laredo is an exploration of how the dizzying forces of change have defined this locale, how they continue to be inscribed and celebrated, and how their effects on the physical landscape have shaped the identity of the city and its people. Bringing together issues of growth, globalization, and identity, Mehnaaz Momen traces Laredo's trajectory through the voices of its people. In contrast to the many studies of border cities defined by the outside—and seldom by the people who live at the border—this volume collects oral histories from seventy-five in-depth interviews that collectively illuminate the evolution of the city's cultural and economic infrastructure, its interdependence with its sister city across the national boundary, and, above all, the strength of its community as it adapts to and even challenges the national narrative regarding the border. The resonant and lively voices of Laredo's people convey proud ownership of an archetypal border city that has time and again resurrected itself. Tony Diaz Writer and activist Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante, is a Cultural Accelerator.

This is Lecture 5 of Caribbean Thought, a course at the Jamaica Theological Seminary Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Dated February 10, 2023. This is a continuation of week 4 and the Lecture series towards developing a Caribbean Thought Journal. The Lecture was quite powerful as usual. We continued from week 4, conceptualizing the course Caribbean Thought when we had asked, "what is Caribbean Thought, and who determines this?" This week we ask, why who determines this and why is it important for us to revisit the past. The lecture delved into this question by lifting up a current situation in the Caribbean - The Haitian Crisis - where The US and Canada is pressuring the Caribbean to intervene in Haiti on their behalf. We examine this issue in relation to the Caribbean socio-economic challenges which has defined present realities which imposes on cultural identity. We explored this within the context of our understanding of the Caribbean being part of the pan-African struggle for not just independence but economic prosperity that allows them to compete. When we go back in history, we explore situations where the Caribbean's inability to truly realize pan-African goals in light of strategy that continue to keep these peoples and countries down - Debt. We begin the class by revisiting the conclusion of the class: "...the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society." We then moved into Lecture 5 by exploring the course outline: Course Description: This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.... The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean and the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty....Among the thinkers/works that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul, W. Benjamin, M. Foucault, Franz Fanon, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhabha, Mike Davis, Nelson/Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garnett Roper, Rex Nettleford and the Professor's Works. We then begin to explore Caribbean thinkers: Ramesh F. Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Commonwealth Caribbean," Yet we say: We celebrate #Haiti as the 1st former colonized black country to successfully lead a revolution beating Napoleon. But France turned around & charged them 24 billion to recognize their freedom which Haiti gullibly paid—that has held them down. We concluded with Edward Seaga PM of Jamaica in a 1983 Lecture: "I wish to talk to you about the strategy which I believe can best attain a quality of life for the peoples of Middle Level countries of the developing world," (Seaga, 1983, p. 23, in New Directions.) https://theneoliberal.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The structural adjustment issue is, not surprisingly, one surrounded by intense controversy and emotion.

This is the Bonus Video of Season 6, episode 3 available on Spotify and our YouTube channel. As stated in the primary episode in audio: this episode begins the Lecture Series at the Jamaica Theological Seminary on Caribbean Thought: Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Academic Audio Journal. This is a video episode uploaded from the class Zoom Recording as I am teaching the course via an online face-to-face module while here in Philadelphia USA. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense. It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people within a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. But the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and to consider issues that will make you uncomfortable. The WES explored ways that we can prepare students for the global world. That means moving from the local and turning to the global as we are global citizens. The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean, the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty. Among the thinkers that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Franz Fanon, Homi Bhaba, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhaba, Mike Davis, Nelson and Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garrnett Roper, Rex Nettleford etc. Themes will be drawn from a selection of contemporary newspaper columnists, talk‐show hosts and the ideas behind the major international agencies and institutions, which have shaped post-independence policies. The selection of thinkers and social movements to be examined will vary with each semester. This is Part 1. 1. Introductions 2. (32) Privilege, Power, Position and the Need for Critical Thinking | LinkedIn 3. Caribbean thought, Ideology and Philosophy (Foundations of Knowledge) The Phaedo, Plato & Socrates 4.

Sesame Street has taught generations of Americans their letters and numbers, and also how to better understand and get along with people of different races, faiths, ethnicities, and temperaments. But the show has a global reach as well, with more than thirty co-productions of Sesame Street that are viewed in over 150 countries. In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided funding to the New York-based Sesame Workshop to create international versions of Sesame Street. Many of these programs teach children to respect diversity and tolerate others, which some hope will ultimately help to build peace in conflict-affected societies. In fact, the U.S. government has funded local versions of the show in several countries enmeshed in conflict, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria. Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism?: Children's Television and Globalized Multicultural Education (Oxford UP, 2019) takes an in-depth look at the Nigerian version, Sesame Square, which began airing in 2011. In addition to teaching preschool-level academic skills, Sesame Square seeks to promote peaceful coexistence-a daunting task in Nigeria, where escalating ethno-religious tensions and terrorism threaten to fracture the nation. After a year of interviewing Sesame creators, observing their production processes, conducting episode analysis, and talking to local educators who use the program in classrooms, Naomi Moland found that this child-focused use of soft power raised complex questions about how multicultural ideals translate into different settings. In Nigeria, where segregation, state fragility, and escalating conflict raise the stakes of peacebuilding efforts, multicultural education may be ineffective at best, and possibly even divisive. This book offers rare insights into the complexities, challenges, and dilemmas inherent in soft power attempts to teach the ideals of diversity and tolerance in countries suffering from internal conflicts.
