This week on One Decision, hosts Kate McCann and former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove sit down with Russian military scholar Mark Galeotti to examine a war that's reshaping not only Russia—but the West itself. Galeotti describes how Vladimir Putin, convinced he's winning, is “burning through Russia's future” to sustain a failing war. He warns that Europe, which has long sheltered under the American security umbrella, must now take its own defense seriously “if it wants to be taken seriously” and prepare for the unpredictable reality of a post-Putin Russia.

Episode Description Investing $72,000 in yourself might sound crazy, but it was one of the best business decisions I've ever made. In this episode, I break down why I joined an exclusive mastermind of 225 highly successful entrepreneurs and how it's already paying dividends in ways I never imagined. This wasn't an impulsive purchase or ego play. This was about proximity, getting access to the right people in the right rooms who could collapse my timeline to success. Within just five days of joining, I've already received deal flow worth more than my investment, access to 32 SOPs from $100 million businesses, and mentorship that's shifting how I think about wealth building entirely. Most people focus on cost instead of value. They ask "How much does it cost?" before understanding what they're getting. Wealthy people think differently, they calculate ROI first. When you shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset focused on value and proximity, everything changes. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – The $72,000 investment that changed everything [0:48] – What proximity really means and why access beats content [1:27] – Cost vs. value: The guacamole analogy that explains wealth mindset [2:30] – How to collapse your timeline by 5-10 years [3:33] – Why most people ask the wrong questions about investments [5:15] – The CPA firm deal that already covered my investment [7:28] – Scarcity vs. abundance: The two roadblocks to wealth [9:41] – Why failure is part of the game (the Call of Duty analogy) [10:49] – From $0 to $1 million the hard way vs. $1 million to $5 million with access [15:04] – My mentor's reaction to my "$10 million goal" (and why I needed that challenge) [18:04] – Being "too tolerant" as a leader—and how it was holding me back [20:23] – Why you need to be the dumbest person in the room [22:05] – The cost of waiting: How hesitation hurts your family Key Takeayways Access Trumps Content: You're not buying information; you're buying proximity to people who've already achieved what you want. ROI Over Cost: Wealthy people ask "What's the return?" before "What's the price?" This mindset shift changes everything. Proximity Collapses Time: The right rooms can speed up your journey by years or even decades. Challenge Breeds Growth: You need people who will push your limits and challenge your comfort zone. Quotables "What I bought wasn't content. What I bought was access." "You're either going to pay with time or money, just realize that." "I've been the smartest person in the room for way too long, and it's time to level up." "The shortcut isn't buying another PDF or course. It's getting proximity to people playing the game at the level you want to rise to."

In this week's episode One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove sit down with former Los Angeles Mayor and U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti.

From navigating the Trump administration's tariffs and sanctions to confronting a “murder-for-hire” plot that tested Washington's trust in New Delhi, Garcetti explains how the two largest democracies can still find common purpose. Plus, Garcetti, who serves as an Ambassador for Global Climate Diplomacy at C40 Cities, argues why the future of global climate action may depend less on nations—and more on cities.

In this episode of One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and ex-MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove speak with Lauren Penneys, Palantir SVP , to separate fact from fiction.

Most people sit around waiting for the “perfect time” to act. But the truth? Success doesn't come from luck—it comes from making the right decision and executing. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, I break down why your next breakthrough is just one decision away. You'll learn:

In this episode of One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta sit down with Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary under President Bill Clinton, to discuss his new book, Coming Up Short. Reich reflects on how decades of widening inequality, corporate money in politics, and missteps in the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—along with China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO)—paved the way for Donald Trump's rise. Reich and Panetta reflect on what both political parties missed, why Washington drifted into dysfunction, and how the coming wave of AI could deepen inequality unless new policies—from national service to profit-sharing—take hold. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios. Original music composed and produced by Leo Sidran.

You're One Decision Away From A Completely Different Life [231]

This week on One Decision, host Kate McCann welcomes Sir Ben Wallace, former UK Defence Secretary, to the podcast as a co-host. They discuss the recent Israeli strike in Qatar targeting senior Hamas officials and the repercussions of Israel attacking a country that's directly involved in peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Later, they welcome Ehud Olmert, former Israeli Prime Minister, who shares why he believes Israel's pursuit of “total victory” in Gaza is both unrealistic and dangerous. He recounts why Israel's top military leaders reject Netanyahu's strategy, warns of a mounting diplomatic backlash that could extend to sanctions and even sports boycotts, and insists only Donald Trump has the power to force a change of course. Plus, Olmert reflects on his own efforts to revive a two-state solution with Palestinian leaders.

How fragile is the state of Russia's economy? In this episode of One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and Sir Richard Dearlove, former MI6 Chief, sit down with Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, who left her role as an advisor to the Bank of Russia after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Prokopenko discusses how state spending, Chinese trade, and quick adaptation by Russian firms have kept economic growth alive — even as inflation and labor shortages strain the system. They examine the cracks in Putin's war-fueled economy, why the Kremlin is unlikely to cut defense spending, and how sanctions are strengthening, rather than weakening, domestic solidarity.

We all dream of an extraordinary life—one filled with deep relationships, meaningful work, and a sense of vibrant purpose. We want the highlight reel. Yet, day-to-day, we often make ordinary choices, opting for the comfortable, the safe, and the predictable. Can we really have it both ways? In a recent episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, hosts Alvin Brown and Dr. Charlie Cartwright unpack a hard truth from author Ryan Holiday: "We would like to think that we can make ordinary decisions and have an extraordinary life, but it's not true." If you want exceptional results, you must be willing to make exceptional choices. Key Highlights from the Discussion The Ordinary Decision Trap: Your life today is the sum total of your past decisions. If you feel stuck in a life of mediocrity, it's a direct reflection of the ordinary, safe choices you've been making. An extraordinary outcome requires an extraordinary input. "Eventually, You Stop Asking": In a powerful story, Dr. Charlie shared how he stopped asking his dad to play catch after being told "no" too many times. This is a crucial life lesson: if you continuously refuse the calls to adventure, connection, and courage that life offers you, eventually, the opportunities will stop coming. Extraordinary Habits Travel With You: The mindset of putting in extra effort is a portable skill. It's a habit that will improve every area of your life, traveling with you to new jobs, new relationships, and new challenges, always giving you an edge. Extraordinary is About Effort, Not Expense: You don't need a fortune to create an extraordinary moment. The most memorable acts are born from thoughtfulness and intention, not a big budget. It's the daily journal of appreciation, not the expensive diamond, that can transform a relationship. The Takeaway Take a hard look at your life. Where have you been choosing comfort over courage? Where have you been making ordinary decisions while hoping for extraordinary results? The power to change your entire life resides in your very next decision. As the hosts urge, choose to "live full and die empty." Choose courage. Choose extra.

In this episode of One Decision, Sir Richard Dearlove, former MI6 chief, and journalist Christina Ruffini speak with Professor Chuck Freilich, Israel's former Deputy National Security Adviser. Freilich explains why he no longer sees a two-state solution as viable and lays out a three-pillar alternative for Gaza and the West Bank. He examines the aims and limits of Israel's campaign against Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political incentives, and what recent strikes mean for Iran's nuclear program. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios. Original music composed and produced by Leo Sidran.

Life is full of choices, and each decision carries weight — some more than we realize. Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us that God sets before us life and death, blessing and cursing, and urges us to choose life. One decision can lead to freedom, peace, and destiny, while another can bring regret and loss. This message challenges us to stop delaying, stop looking back, and boldly choose the path of life and blessing today.

Sh*^ or get off the pot!At some point you will come to this choice point or you will make it a habit of arriving here throughout your life.And you may choose to stay in this limbo loop for years or maybe even lifetimes.What's for sure is that if you truly want to transcend it AND avoid repeating it again you have find your way to going all in on you and your desire before reality has manifested.The energies are ripe to embody the identity of where you're desiring to go. It's the 3rd step in a 4 pillar process of going all in one way or the other that I'm sharing with you in today's episode.

In this week's episode of One Decision, host Sir Richard Dearlove, former MI6 Chief, is joined by former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst to assess the fallout from President Donald Trump's unprecedented summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska — and the extraordinary gathering of European leaders at the White House that followed. They examine whether Trump is being outmaneuvered by Putin or whether he can still bring real leverage to the table, how Europe's sudden military unity is reshaping the balance of power, and what it all means for Ukraine's survival and NATO's credibility. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios. Original music composed and produced by Leo Sidran.
