Daniel hosts Constantin Kogan, founder of Holistic Capital (a multi-strategy, multi-asset investment firm) and host of the "Holistic Investments" podcast. Constantin grew up in Kyiv, was active in the 2013–14 Maidan Revolution (he describes witnessing a sniper shoot students near him), and left Ukraine for the US shortly before the war escalated, landing in the New York/Jersey City area with his young family and no work authorization.He built his career from scratch — first in Ukrainian grain trading, then early-stage tech investing where he lost significant savings, before founding Holistic Capital, an algorithmic/quant trading firm. The throughline of the conversation is his "holistic" philosophy: that exceptional decision-making (in markets and in life) requires pairing quantitative rigor with self-awareness, humility, and controlling ego — drawing on his years studying Kabbalah and meditation. He talks candidly about turning down wealthy investors whose values don't align with his, why most day traders lose to institutional algos, and how gratitude (rooted in watching his home city get bombed while he's safe in the US) shapes his approach to money and risk.The episode closes on reflections on meaning, purpose, and podcasting itself — Constantin shares that his own podcast has grown to 650K+ followers and 100+ guests (including an upcoming episode with Edward Zuckerberg), and both hosts riff on doing the work for love of the process rather than the outcome.

Kogan shares slump despite its sales and profit rising, the latest inflation numbers will determine the next move in interest rates. Plus, despite statements from government that home prices won't fall, weak auction clearances show the opposite.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan Mail I am celebrating Episode 300 with something special — a full drag-a-thon of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th Episode 1 — your jaw will land on the floor. I have some very specific things to say about NeNe Leakes getting a token scene and a show that kept bringing up her and others' most iconic moments while leaving them out — and what I think that tells you about Bravo. Then why Vicki Gunvalson should have kept her mouth completely shut in the very first scene of this show. Teresa Giudice makes up her crime. Then the moment that genuinely shocked Kyle Richards on camera — and Kyle is not easy to shock after 15 seasons — that I think went way too dark for what was supposed to be a 20th anniversary celebration. Then Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge getting fired from future RHUGT episodes — I tell you what really happened behind the scenes that the show does not show you and we discuss who really started all of it that nobody else is pointing at. Where are the lost cities in this celebration — RHOM, RHODubai, RHOL, RHOP, RHODC? Then Lisa Barlow uses the word icky seven times and I have some very specific thoughts about why she of all people should sit this one out. Then I start my Kelly Dodd and Lacey Kogan small claims court deep dive — I read the actual filing, I found Lacey Kogan online and what I found makes me think this is not exactly what Kelly is claiming it is — and I have a theory about why she filed in Orange County instead of Florida.

When you meet Jessica Kogan (in-person or virtual), it takes exactly 2/3's of a second to realize she is a force of nature...marketing nature as it were. Perhaps the most frequent guest on Wine Talks, each episode has had a unique viewpoint on the latest in wine marketing, data mining, and outside pressures. I welcome back, Jessica Kogan. If you think Napa is just for tuxedoed snobs or that wine tastings only happen in picturesque châteaus, wait until Jessica Kogan shakes up your tired assumptions. Jessica Kogan is the industry disruptor who believes the heart of wine isn't bottled in glass—it's poured out in the local grocery aisle, one wild, unfiltered conversation at a time. You'll hear how she's forging revolution from the retail trenches, ditching sterile focus groups for nearly a million real-life customer conversations every year. Here, sampling isn't just some checkbox—it's a battleground where authentic brand love is won, and the old guard of wine marketing is put on notice. Forget discounting your way into hearts. Jessica Kogan explains why slashing prices only slices away the soul of your brand and how risk, confidence, and even the rise of wine-in-a-can are reshaping the landscape. She'll tell you why the TikTok generation isn't afraid of booze—they're just bored by mediocre storytelling and fake experiences. Get ready for uncomfortable truths: Wine is in danger of losing the next generation unless it gets back to basics—face-to-face, glass-to-glass, moment-to-moment. And yes, the magic of Napa is still alive, but it's happening at the checkout line, not behind velvet ropes. By the end, you'll realize that the future of wine may just be as much about listening as it is about tasting. And in the era of digital everything, you might crave the next awkward, enlightening chat with a stranger offering you a sample at the store. What you'll learn: Why sampling in your neighborhood supermarket might be more revolutionary than any digital campaign How the wine aisle became a confidence-sapping jungle—and how to hack your way through Why discounting is for cowards and storytellers win the real loyalty wars How Gen Z and Millennials are demanding their wine—and why "wine in a can" isn't a joke The dirty little secret about focus groups vs. real-world conversations with nearly a million shoppers Why, if wine doesn't get back to real human connection, it might lose its soul forever   Cameron Hughes Wines: https://chwine.com Vintage Wine Estates: https://www.vintagewineestates.com HSP Brands: https://hspbrands.com Total Wine & More: https://www.totalwine.com Château Haut-Bailly: https://www.haut-bailly.com Donna Karan: https://www.donnakaran.com   #wineindustry #podcast #winetasting #JessicaKogan #PaulKalemkiarian #NapaValley #Sonoma #consumerexperience #winemarketing #retailinsights #directtoconsumer #wineclubs #brandstorytelling #HSPBrands #digitalmarketing #experientialmarketing #offpremisesales #winetrends #winepricing #RTDs

The Israeli parliament's decision to postpone a vote on recognising the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey is being seen as a triumph for regional diplomacy, as Azerbaijan in particular seeks to avert a further escalation in tensions between its close allies. The Israeli government gave no official reason for postponing the vote to formally recognise the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey during World War I, which would have ratified a motion approved by the cabinet last month.  Ankara strongly denies the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians constitute genocide. While the motion's architect, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, called recognition a “moral duty”, critics say the move took aim at Turkey amidst rising tensions. Based in Tbilisi, Israeli defence and security expert Eugene Kogan claims Israel badly miscalculated. “Foreign Minister Sa'ar could have waited and not just dropped a bomb that led to different repercussions coming from different sides,” he said. Armenia, which is seeking to normalise ties with Turkey, reacted coolly, with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan saying he saw no need to comment. Meanwhile, Israel's close ally Azerbaijan reportedly lobbied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to drop the motion. “At the end of the day, it might be either dropped or dismissed, and it will not come again to the new parliament agenda,” predicted Kogan. The Knesset dissolved on 17 July and won't reconvene until after elections scheduled for 27 October. Israel's recognition of the Armenian genocide unsettles Turkey and Azerbaijan Azerbaijan's influence The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that pressure from Azerbaijan tipped the scales, though officials deny it. Azerbaijan supplies nearly 40 percent of Israel's oil and is a major customer for Israeli arms. The two countries' partnership involves frequent Israeli ministerial visits and strong military cooperation, especially crucial for Israel given Azerbaijan's border with Iran. Baku also maintains a deep alliance with Ankara, summed up in the phrase “one nation, two states”. As Israeli-Turkish tensions flare over the Gaza conflict and Ankara's support for Hamas, Azerbaijan is walking a diplomatic tightrope. Zaur Gasimov, a Caucasus expert at Istanbul's Turkish-German University, believes Baku viewed the Israeli genocide motion as a direct threat to its difficult balancing act. “I can imagine that there were negotiations and talks on various levels between political elites of both countries,” he said. “For Israel, Azerbaijan is still of paramount importance. I would even say it's much more significant than it used to be with regard to the situation in and around Iran. So Baku was and is maybe the key intermediary between Israel and the Republic of Turkey.” In what may be a calculated move to turn up the heat on Israel, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev welcomed Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa this month. It was the first visit by a Palestinian leader since 2011. “They [Israel] perceive it with a great sense of caution,” claimed analyst Kogan. “They don't know exactly what came out of this particular meeting between Aliyev and the Palestinian prime minister. And so there is a lot of guessing games right now taking place in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem about the outcome.” Such ambiguity over Baku's intentions could strengthen its diplomatic hand, he suggested: “If Aliyev is involved in this Palestinian issue directly and no longer indirectly, it makes the situation very different for the Israelis.” Turkey warns it could be Israel's 'next enemy' as tensions escalate Syrian precedent Baku is already leveraging its strong relationships with both Israel and Turkey to cool tempers. “We have organised meetings between Turkey and Israel in Baku, specifically at the very beginning of the change of the Assad regime in Syria, where both parties had their own legitimate concerns,” said Hikmet Hajiyev, chief foreign policy adviser to the Azerbaijani president. Syria is viewed as a potential flashpoint, with Israel and Turkey having a military presence. One tangible outcome of Azeri-brokered talks was the establishment last year of a military hotline in Syria, providing a rare glimmer of hope as tensions continue to mount. “It's not unavoidable that Israel and Turkey will reach confrontation. I think we can stop this process,” argued Gallia Lindenstrauss, a specialist in Turkish foreign policy at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies. “They have a hotline between the Israeli Air Force and the Turkish Air Force, making sure that we will not have a collision in the skies of Syria, because we know both air forces are operating there. And the hotline has managed to keep the situation quiet. If I'm trying to find some anchor of reassurance that Turkish-Israeli relations can be controlled, it's Syria.” As Israel approaches elections, a temporary lull in Turkish-Israeli tensions is anticipated. Still, since the main opposition shares the government's concerns over Turkey, relations are set to remain fraught.

I attended a Sustainability Summit for the music industry hosted by Martin Guitar back in the fall of 2025.  It was a great day of panels, Q&A and networking that includes musicians, manufacturers and support organizations all seeking to make the industry a bit more green, sustainable and less negative impact to the earth.While there, I was able to listen to Ben Kogan speak on one of the panels, and share how "easy" it was to make certain decisions for hosting live music festivals that would be much better for the environment.  And so I approached him during one of the breaks and asked him if he'd come on the show to talk about it, and perhaps help improve the No Planet B Jamboree's overall impact.His organization Reusable Solutions and moreso Musicians for Sustainability help work with event organizers in key areas and if they establish certain benchmarks can become a certified festival at varying levels - which we've been able to achieve!Tune in as we learn about Ben's music journey, the inspirations behind the nonprofits he's formed, and we talk through the process of getting a festival certified.  It'll be a good one!Band BioBen Kogan Band blends Indie-Americana with jazz and bluegrass sensibilities.
