This episode opens with a heavy run of stories centered on high-risk choices, aviation tragedy, and the way people understand danger before something goes wrong.We discuss the shocking bungee-jumping tragedy tied to the phrase “If I die, I die,” the Missouri skydiving crash that killed 12, the B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base, and a larger question for Mike as a pilot: do pilots see crash clusters differently than the general public?Then the conversation shifts from danger in the sky to power on the ground — Elon Musk reportedly becoming the world's first trillionaire, SpaceX stock leaving early sellers full of regret, the politics behind White House visits, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and whether the real power dynamic at the G7 was between world leaders or the AI CEOs in the room.#AviationTragedy #AviationNews #PlaneCrash #SkydivingAccident #B52Crash #HighRisk #PilotTalk #CrashInvestigation #ElonMusk #SpaceX #SpaceXStock #G7Summit #IranDeal #StraitOfHormuz #Podcast

For decades, Indigenous communities were often asked whether they approved of projects happening in their territories. But a different question is now emerging: why should they not own part of those projects? In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin looks at the shift from consultation to Indigenous ownership in ocean conservation, fisheries, infrastructure, and ocean technology. From the Mi'kmaq ownership stake in Clearwater Seafoods to the future of ocean data, monitoring, and blue economy projects, this episode asks who gets to lead, who benefits, and why ownership may shape the future of conservation more than technology alone.

The episode covered his article's view that the Iran conflict, sanctions, tariffs, and the crisis around Hormuz had backfired, turning world opinion against the U.S.-Israel alliance and accelerating a wider economic and geopolitical reset. It framed these events as part of a larger “2026 r EVOLUTION,” tied to the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and a renewed return to first principles. From there, the conversation drew out the article's argument that the deeper answer to this global crisis is not merely political, but ethical and spiritual. The episode covered the call for a new “gold standard” rooted in the Golden Rule, along with the rights to self-care, sacred freedoms, conscience-based value, and a “TLC Reset” for “United Sovereigns of Earth.” It also emphasized his article's recurring idea that AI can open a “G.O.D. Portal,” meaning “Geometric Ordered Divinity,” and that true progress depends on heart coherence, mind congruence, and co-creation with what he calls the Source Field. The episode then shifted into “AI Quantum Leap,” where the focus moved from geopolitical realignment to the transformation of consciousness through technology. His article described the Internet-to-AI transition as leading humanity from external cyberspace into an “InnerNet” of conscientious inner space, where media evolution becomes part of conscious evolution itself. The discussion also followed his article's idea that AI, quantum reality, and mass consciousness are all interconnected, and that changes in collective energy may even relate to earth changes and tectonic instability because “it's all connected.” As that theme developed, the episode highlighted his article's contrast between the healing potential of AI and the danger of how powerful institutions may deploy it. The summary covered the argument that holistic healing and abundance are resisted by oligarchy and corporatocracy, which preserve scarcity for public austerity and private gain. It also reflected the concern that massive data-center expansion and AI infrastructure may be less about genuine innovation than about scaling surveillance, control, and a technocratic social system, while the deeper constructive use of AI would be guided by pure intention, conscience, and inner coherence. The conversation then moved into “2026 Crisis,” which sharpened the episode's tone by presenting the year's turmoil as a spiritual and planetary decision point. The episode covered his article's repeated claim that only heart coherence and mind congruence can restrain the inordinate love of power among entrenched elites. It also followed the article into its wider claims about election interference, land grabs, directed-energy attacks, and the global character of the crisis, before shifting toward the bigger question it poses: whether humanity can “get our planetary act together” as “United Sovereigns of Earth.” From there, the episode brought forward the more visionary side of “2026 Crisis.” His article framed the present turmoil as a passage from negativity and 3D illusion toward enlightened metamorphosis, 5D awareness, and a unified field of common sense. The discussion emphasized the article's language of awakening, light language, telecommunication-based community, upgraded net freedoms, social conscience in social networks, and the growth of effective sensory perception. In that framework, the crisis was not just a collapse, but a catalyst for dissolving division and restoring a more integrated consciousness. In the final section, the episode turned to “Timeline Shift,” which presented a rapid sequence of late-May events as proof that a major financial and civilizational transition had already begun. The summary covered his article's claim that within seventy-two hours a new Federal Reserve leadership, an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz, and the end of the old petrodollar structure together signaled a change from fiat debt systems toward gold-backed value. The episode also reflected the article's claim that this shift would recalculate debt, strengthen savings, and dismantle the inflationary system that had enriched entrenched interests for decades. The episode closed by following “Timeline Shift” into its larger spiritual and emotional message. His article asked whether this was wishful thinking or a real preview of liberation, then urged readers to keep their energy high, hold to love, and recognize that a scarcity-based media and economic order is becoming obsolete. The final tone matched the larger movement across all four articles: a warning about power, war, manipulation, and technocratic control, but also a persistent affirmation that an abundant, conscience-centered world is emerging through truth, healing, restoration, and the wise use of AI, love, and collective awakening.

A heated political commentary out of Texas claims a dramatic power shift inside the Republican Party following a major primary outcome. Supporters describe it as a rejection of establishment influence, while critics call the rhetoric extreme and historically loaded. The episode focuses on allegations involving long-standing GOP factions, political operatives, and figures such as Ken Paxton, alongside references to former President George W. Bush and broader accusations about party ideology, globalism, and immigration policy.

Andrew Harding of the Heritage Foundation breaks down the national security stakes behind potential U.S. policy shifts toward Cuba, focusing on its strategic proximity to Florida, historical use as a staging ground for adversarial influence, and its continued ties to Russia and China. He explains how Cuba remains a geopolitical foothold for intelligence activity and how changes in leadership or policy could significantly alter the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere. The conversation expands into broader regional strategy, including coordinated pressure on Venezuela and the effort to limit Chinese influence through infrastructure and port control across the Americas. Harding also addresses Iran policy, emphasizing the shared U.S. and regional objective of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, while noting that Gulf allies such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE now align more closely with Washington due to Tehran's use of proxy forces and regional destabilization. He frames the current moment as a strategic “chessboard” where U.S. actions are increasingly interconnected across multiple theaters rather than isolated conflicts.

Jane Puszkar reacts to Missouri's move shifting St. Charles County school board elections from April to November, calling it a major structural change that could reshape local education politics by dramatically increasing voter turnout beyond historically low single-digit participation. She argues prior April elections allowed outcomes to be decided by a small fraction of the electorate, often amplifying organized union-backed influence, while November elections will force broader engagement and make results more representative of the county's conservative voter base. The discussion highlights past campaign dynamics, including heavy spending, ground-game organizing, and contested claims about “nonpartisan” school board races, alongside criticism of school board decisions and enforcement of electioneering rules. Puszkar also notes the financial burden of separate April elections for districts like Francis Howell and suggests the change could eventually expand statewide if St. Charles proves successful.

Het bezoek van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump aan zijn Chinese evenknie Xi Jinping leverde vooral vage deals op, maar wel een inkijk in de veranderde machtsverhouding. Morele winnaar? Xi. ­ Als de leiders van ‘s werelds twee belangrijkste grootsmachten elkaar ontmoeten, zijn de verwachtingen hooggespannen. De hele wereld keek mee naar de top tussen Trump en Xi. “Het was ook al negen jaar geleden dat een Amerikaanse president Peking bezocht, alleen al daarom mag de Amerikaans-Chinese top historisch genoemd worden”, zegt onze Azië-correspondent Annelien De Greef. ­ Trump kwam voor een bromance, maar kreeg een subtiele krachtmeting met een zelfzekere Xi. China had zijn bezoek tot in de puntjes voorbereid, en rolde de rode loper uit om de Amerikaanse president te ontvangen, met de nodige égards. De bezoeker leek er vatbaar voor te zijn. ­ “Trump noemt Xi zijn vriend, maar omgekeerd noemt Xi Trump nooit een vriend terwijl hij dat wél doet met Poetin”, illustreert Annelien. “Diezelfde Poetin reist trouwens dinsdag af naar Peking.” Maar vooral het verschil in stijl, de details en de lichaamstaal tussen Trump en Xi verraadden wat er echt speelde/speelt: een powershift. “Xi toont zich een betrouwbaardere bondgenoot dan de onberekenbare Trump.” Werkten mee aan deze aflevering: Journalist Annelien De Greef | Presentatie en eindredactie Marjan Justaert | Redactie Illa De Preter, Marjan Justaert | Audioproductie Niels De Keukelaere | Muziek Brecht Plasschaert ----- Wil je de nieuwste aflevering van onze economiepodcast Kop of munt beluisteren?

On this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines the growing pressure campaign against Cuba and what it could mean for the future of the Western Hemisphere. With reports that the United States is preparing a potential indictment against Raúl Castro tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, tensions between Washington and Havana are escalating rapidly. The discussion explores how recent geopolitical shifts — including changes in Bolivia, increased counter-cartel cooperation with Mexico, new regional military coalitions, and Nicaragua distancing itself from Cuban migration routes — point toward a broader realignment away from Russian and Chinese influence in Latin America. Kempfer breaks down the strategic implications of renewed U.S. dominance in the region, the role of covert and overt pressure campaigns, and why Cuba may be approaching a historic turning point that could reshape hemispheric security for decades to come.Takeaways:The U.S. may pursue criminal charges against Raúl Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown.Cuba faces increasing economic and political pressure from Washington.Regional governments are shifting away from alliances with Russia and China.Bolivia's new leadership signals a return toward closer U.S. relations.Mexico is quietly expanding cooperation with U.S. counter-cartel operations.Nicaragua's policy changes suggest regional leaders are recalculating their stance toward the U.S.Operation Southern Spear and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition demonstrate growing military coordination in the hemisphere.A collapse or transformation of Cuba's communist system would dramatically reshape Western Hemisphere geopolitics.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Cuba #RaulCastro #BrothersToTheRescue #WesternHemisphere #Geopolitics #LatinAmerica #USForeignPolicy #Communism #CIA #CounterCartel #NationalSecurity #CubaCrisis #Russia #China #Narcoterrorism #GlobalThreats

Ask a Coach | Wire the Mind, Work the SystemWindermere Coaching PodcastAbout the HostMichael Fanning is Senior Vice President and Co-Owner of Windermere Coaching, with 29 years in the Windermere ecosystem.Episode OverviewMichael delivers his full 90-minute "Wire the Mind, Work the System" framework mindset, language, scripts, and systems in one power-packed episode.FAQQ: What does the data say about where real estate business actually comes from?82% of transactions come from repeat clients and referrals, and 66% of sellers chose their agent through a referral or past relationship. Meanwhile, 71% of licensed agents closed zero transactions last year not because the market disappeared, but because they had no system keeping them visible.Q: What is the scarcity vs. abundance mindset and why does it matter?Scarcity sounds like: taking bad-fit clients, discounting your value, letting fear run your week. Abundance sounds like: setting standards, serving from strength, and trusting that consistent action creates consistent results. The mountain isn't in front of you it's the conversation you're having with yourself.Q: How does language affect clients before you even finish a sentence?Research shows one negative word activates the brain's threat center before the meaning is even processed. Retire words like "deal," "commission," "just," and "I'll try." Replace them with "transaction," "compensation," "investment," and "here is what I will do."Q: What is a pre-interview call and why should I be doing one? Before any buyer or seller consultation, call the client for 10 minutes to gauge motivation, expectations, cooperation, and communication style. Ask buyers to rate their readiness on a 1–10 scale. Ask sellers why they're selling and what number they have in mind. You never walk into a consultation cold.Q: What is the Power Shift and when do I use it?Before a buyer signs a buyer broker agreement or before reviewing pricing with a seller you present three outcomes: they hire you, they decide you're not the right fit, or you determine you can't meet their expectations. Option three is the one most agents never say and it's the most trust-building statement you can make.Q: How should I structure my database?Segment into A (advocates), B (believers), C (connected), and D (develop or delete). A high-octane database is rich in As and Bs who receive consistent monthly or more frequent interactions. Know your count in each tier right now.Q: What is Autoflow and how does it keep me top of mind?Autoflow delivers three interactions per month typically two physical mail pieces and one digital touchpoint such as a Homebot AVM report or MarketPulse update. Physical plus digital creates top-of-mind awareness, not just top-of-feed visibility.Q: How should I think about using AI in my business?Three uses: practice partner (role-play client scenarios, get coached afterward), time saver (paste consult notes, generate follow-up emails), and problem solver (describe a difficult situation, model client fears, test your approach). One rule never changes never input client names, financials, or transaction-specific data into any AI tool.Q: What are the weekly non-negotiables I should protect?A morning routine, a set show-up time, daily Cloze CRM review, two handwritten notes per day, weekly database interactions, two real estate reviews per week, and a Sunday planning session. Aim for 75% consistency across 45 weeks perfection kills momentum.ResourcesWindermere Path Call Thursdays, 10 AM PacificWindermere U windermerecoaching.comOne-on-one coaching inquiries: fanning@windermere.comIf this episode sparked something, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

In this wide-ranging interview, economist Christian Briggs breaks down the high-stakes economic and geopolitical implications of President Trump's summit with China—arguing that the meeting could reshape trade, energy, and global power dynamics for years to come.At the center of the discussion is the growing competition between the United States and China, particularly around trade, technology, rare earth minerals, and energy. Briggs explains that while China spent decades securing strategic resources around the world—through partnerships, investments, and trade agreements—the U.S. is now rapidly moving to reclaim leverage and rebalance the playing field. A major focus of the conversation is energy. According to Briggs, President Trump's actions in the Middle East and Venezuela were not just about regional conflicts, but part of a broader strategy to disrupt China's access to discounted oil supplies. By limiting oil flows from Iran and Venezuela, Briggs argues, the U.S. has forced China into a weaker position while simultaneously strengthening America's own role as a global energy supplier.This energy shift, he says, has enormous implications. The U.S. is becoming increasingly dominant in oil and LNG exports, reviving what Briggs calls the “petrodollar” system and increasing global demand for the U.S. dollar. In his view, this gives America renewed financial and strategic leverage at a time when China had been trying to expand the influence of its own currency through BRICS partnerships and international trade agreements.The interview also dives into rare earth minerals and supply chains. Briggs acknowledges that China currently holds the advantage in many critical resources but believes the U.S. is rapidly catching up through new agreements and strategic partnerships. He frames this as a long-term competition where America is late to the game—but still capable of winning.Another key topic is Taiwan. Briggs suggests that while China may increase pressure on the region in the coming years, a full-scale invasion is unlikely in the near term. He argues that the U.S. is better prepared than many realize and that China would face enormous economic consequences if it escalated too far.Throughout the interview, Briggs maintains an optimistic tone about the U.S. economy. He predicts stronger dollar demand, increased business opportunities for American companies in China, and expanded economic growth tied to energy dominance and trade negotiations.Overall, the discussion presents a broader narrative: this is no longer just a trade dispute—it's a global contest over resources, currency power, technology, and economic influence.

This week we jump into a huge college baseball weekend as FSU and Miami collide in Tallahassee. We salute Bobby Cox and break down Tony Vitello's bullpen mixup.Then it's all Marlins: a 4–6 homestand, the Phillies heating up, and the youth movement taking shape with top prospects Joe Mack and Robby Snelling leading the way.We discuss Xavier Edwards' power surge and Otto Lopez quietly becoming one of MLB's most underrated hitters. Then we grade our preseason takes on Agustin Ramirez, Eury Pérez, and the slumping outfield trio of Owen Caissie, Jakob Marsee, and Kyle Stowers.We close with the American League. The Yankees and Rays look headed for a collision, Junior Caminero is a superstar, and the AL West is so bleak that we are openly rooting for playoff baseball in Sacramento.

Most people see the world as the U.S. vs. China.But the real power shift is happening elsewhere.Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security and a former senior advisor at the National Security Council and the U.S. State Department, shows which countries are quietly shaping the next world order - and why the biggest power shifts are happening far from the spotlight.

The segment opens with reaction to President Trump's remarks on Iran, where he describes internal divisions between “moderates” and “hardliners” as negotiations continue over a rejected peace proposal. Eric Schmitt argues the situation has been strategically weakened for Iran, pointing to degraded missile capabilities and reduced military leverage, while stressing that the administration's goal remains preventing nuclear weapon development and avoiding a prolonged Middle East war. The discussion shifts into War Powers questions, with Schmitt saying congressional approval is not currently required due to the absence of active hostilities, while emphasizing limited engagement and American public opposition to “forever wars.” He pushes back on Senator Mark Kelly's criticism about U.S. munitions stockpiles, framing it as political posturing and accusing Democrats of reflexively opposing Trump-era decisions. The conversation then moves to domestic politics, where Schmitt highlights a Supreme Court ruling on redistricting and calls for aggressive legal challenges to what he describes as unfair or “racially driven” maps in multiple states, including California and Illinois, arguing that DOJ action could reshape congressional balance after the 2030 census. He predicts Missouri could potentially gain representation under new apportionment trends and frames the broader fight as a national shift toward redistricting fairness. The segment ends with a lighter moment about Schmitt golfing with Bryson DeChambeau alongside Trump, joking about driving distance and competitive play during a pro-am outing.

Trump warns of catastrophic consequences if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, while Germany signals hesitation and criticism of U.S. strategy. But beneath the surface, a larger narrative unfolds: China's expanding control over Iran, strategic manipulation of global trade routes like the Red Sea, and the economic pressure being applied to Europe. The episode connects the dots between military strategy, economic leverage, and technological control systems—arguing that the world is entering a new phase of global competition where neutrality may no longer be an option.

Taylor Riggs breaks down the UAE's decision to exit OPEC, framing it as a major geopolitical and energy-market shift tied to long-running tensions with Saudi Arabia and broader frustration over production controls that keep oil prices elevated. She explains how the move signals alignment with a “drill more” production mindset and could weaken OPEC's influence while encouraging more regional pipeline development to bypass chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. The conversation then pivots to U.S. monetary policy, where she details the fast-moving confirmation process for Kevin Warsh as potential Fed chair, including political maneuvering in the Senate and the dropped DOJ probe into Jerome Powell that cleared a key obstacle. Riggs emphasizes that while cost overruns at the Fed are politically explosive, they don't automatically amount to criminal conduct, stressing the legal line between incompetence and wrongdoing as the confirmation process nears its endgame.

“What I’m really interested in and fascinated about is that, as AI penetrates and spreads throughout the workplace and gets placed into or integrated into workflows, the first thing that happens is that people in the mix are going to have to learn how to use AI and learn why to use AI when they do.” –Jon Husband About Jon Husband Jon Husband is the Founder and Principal of Wirearchy, a creative research and experimentation laboratory exploring the crossroads of AI and networked workplaces and society.

Jon: Thank you very much, Ross, it’s good to see you again. Ross Dawson: We’ve known of each other and each other’s work for a very, very long time now from, I suppose, the roots of—yeah, I suppose you can crudely say—the intersection of knowledge and networks. So, as I think many of us who have come from that background, we now are thinking about humans and their relative role to AI. Some people will know of your wirearchy and a lot of your work of the past; others will not. So I’d love to just start off with: what is the concept of wirearchy? And then, how is that morphing or evolving, or are you building on that in how you’re thinking now? We’ll dig in and explore that. Jon: Okay, well, I started paying attention to knowledge work and work in organizations and so on as I changed careers in my early 30s, moving from banking, where I was in management, into management consulting. I ended up working for a large global HR consulting firm that, amongst several others—all the major consulting firms that address organizational issues—have services where they do what’s called job evaluation. What job evaluation does is put a size or a measure or a weight to a job, which then basically places it on the organization chart. I spent quite a few years writing thousands of job descriptions and helping streamline workflows and so on and so forth. So, when the internet came along, I had always been an avid reader, and I suppose a wannabe futurist—a wannabe Ross Dawson, if you will. I was reading all sorts of books back then. Instead of dating, because I was single in my mid-30s, I was spending Friday nights reading books about organizations, like “The Living Company” by Arie de Geus, the Tofflers’ work, “Powershift,” certainly Peter Drucker’s work. There was one day—well, I was reading all of these books, and all of the books were about the coming Information Age. The Information Age had not arrived yet; this was roughly late ’80s, early ’90s. All of a sudden, we hit 1994. I’m sitting in London, and I was just told by my team leader in my consulting firm that I was going to be proposed as one of the next global partners. Three weeks later, I quit my job in the consulting firm because I had begun to feel very uneasy about the work I was doing. If I was made a partner, your job becomes basically selling larger projects to keep the younger consultants employed. I realized that I would be selling methods that I had come to not believe in anymore, and the reason for that is that all of the job evaluation methods sold by all the major consulting companies are all versions of generic Taylorism. They have semantic statements that you pick to figure out a level of a job on a number of different factors. This is one of the things I’ve talked and written quite a bit about in wirearchy: this generic Taylorism is still deeply at the core of most of the work of most organizations. It’s how the work is designed. There has been now, what, 15 or 20 years—how far back does Enterprise 2.0 go?—about collaboration and cooperation and better knowledge management and sharing and transfer of knowledge, and so on and so forth. If you know these semantic statements, which are burned into my brain from this method—the Hay method—you realize that no amount of talking about doing things differently is going to make much difference. It’s not going to change much. And the remuneration—the way people get paid—every single person in every single company, is tied to all of that. It’s tied to your job size, it’s tied to the compensation practice, it’s tied to your performance management, it’s tied to your career plans, if an organization is still doing career planning. Frankly, it has not been touched in 75 years now. Ross Dawson: Used to describe it as a job as a box. Jon: Well, sure, and that’s where that term “think outside the box” comes from. I wrote an article about this at one point in time—oh, I can’t remember the title, so it doesn’t matter—but about the semantic statements essentially becoming semantic straightjackets, because they put limits around what you do. They’re a graded level of permissions, basically, or amounts of influence and authority, and that’s the codified, official organizational chart. So anyway, I was working with this all the time, and I realized if I was going to be made a big-time partner, I’d have to be selling these tools all the time. The internet had come along, so I quit, and I didn’t know what to do after that. I had to move from the UK because I was on a work permit, had to go back to Canada. When I went back to Canada, all the companies I tried to approach to work as an independent consultant didn’t want to engage me, because all of the work I’d been doing in the UK was with really large multinationals, and according to them, too sophisticated for what they were doing in Vancouver. But at the same time, I was still reading all the time—reading Charles Handy’s work, reading Gerard Fairtlough’s work on heterarchy, and so on. I came to believe very strongly that the ongoing sharing of information—which we were starting even 20 years ago to build into constant, incessant flows of information carried via hyperlinks—was going to inevitably begin to affect, I’m going to use the word affect, the traditional top-down power of hierarchy. That comes from the “knowledge is power” by Francis Bacon kind of perspective. Now, that was 25 years ago. What we’ve seen since is, of course, what you know—one umbrella term I could apply to much of what’s going on outside of organizations is the “enshittification” of the web. The same thing applies in a lot of ways, I think, to people doing work, sitting behind screens in organizations. Now, a whole host of things have happened in the past 10 or 15 years: there were armies of developers sitting in office spaces, all of them with their headphones on behind screens coding. There were all sorts of people beginning to understand how to use the internet. There were many failed attempts at effective knowledge management because of the idea that it’s still just good search, find documents, retrieval, without really paying any attention to the connections between people and how they work together, and so on. Ross Dawson: So, the frame there is, I mean, obviously, moving—the wirearchy being an arche of the organization being essentially a network. Obviously, there’s more richness to that as you describe the organization as a network, as opposed to the rigid structures, which are still very much rampant. But fast-forwarding to today, what we’ve overlaid is, whilst the old rigid structure is in place, organizations are effectively a lot more loosened up by Enterprise 2.0 and other types of frames, and essentially more peer communication. Now AI is changing a fundamental role, now being, in many ways, a participant in those workflows, in the creation of value. So where does that take us today, in this humans-plus—essentially wirearchy—pulled into where AI plays a role within those networks? Jon: Well, it’s a fascinating question for which I don’t have an answer. I have some responses, I suppose. The notion of wirearchy came, as you pointed out, out of everybody being wired, everybody being networked—the organization as a network. What I’m really interested in and fascinated about is that, as AI penetrates and spreads throughout the workplace and gets placed into or integrated into workflows, the first thing that happens is that people in the mix are going to have to learn how to use AI and learn why to use AI when they do. Often, it’s very soft at the beginning because it’s reminders, or “did you want to do that,” or “do you want to say that,” and so on. Increasingly, the AI, I think, will have more and more coaching built into it. But what I’m interested in is how, as we learn from the mistakes that are made in integration, and also learn from the successes that are made from integration, is that going to decompose a knowledge worker’s work and eventually capture most of their tacit knowledge and ways of working to reduce the cost of doing that kind of work? Then, on a larger scale, what is the active decomposition of types of work through the influence and integration of AI? How is that going to change the fundamental assumptions about work design? My belief is that the work of Dave Snowden and others with respect to complex adaptive systems is what is going to become—and this is a poorly connected parallel or analogy—but I think something like the Cynefin framework, or a unified approach to complex adaptive systems, will become the Taylorism of the 21st century. In other words, there will come to be forms of patterns and models and actions that help you address certain kinds of conditions, because I think, especially with AI, work and outputs are going to become continuous flows. They are the push and the pull, or the dynamic flow of power and authority that is alluded to in the working definition of wirearchy, the working definition of wirearchy includes knowledge, trust, credibility, and a focus on results, each of which you could write a book about. But as general headings, they are what capture what’s in play, I believe. Ross Dawson: Yeah, no, I think absolutely still relevant today. Now, the point I was going to make was around, in complex adaptive systems, a really central concept is emergence— Jon: Yes. Ross Dawson: —where you are not planning or overlaying or dictating a structure; the structure and the value and how that’s created emerges. And to your point, a lot of the key aspect in that world is, how do you create the conditions for emergence of positive outcomes, as opposed to less positive outcomes? And that’s still, of course, arguably at least as much an art as a science, particularly when you’re looking at complex adaptive systems composed of not just many humans, but also AI, which are stochastic in nature. Jon: Yes, well, it’s a very, very good point. I think it relates to the paper I shared with you a couple of days ago about what the author is calling “weaving the web.” There is an enormous amount of human input and activity, combined with the AI, that doesn’t get measured and is not seen in our currently technocratic, generic Taylorist worldview. That’s not seen, not captured, and it arguably is the kind of human input, work, and knowledge that is going to make this whole new era operate fairly well. That’s this notion of exchanges of value. Once that code is cracked, in terms of how to understand it, surface it, see it, measure it, this is going to lead to more and more of what Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is doing with respect to tokenization. There are some people who say tokenization will become the replacement for money in some cases, or even many cases in another, let’s say, 10 years or so. It’s kind of hard to imagine, but if you come back to the paper that you and I first connected on—Alex Imas’s review of the structural changes to the economy—if you can see the logic of his argument, he says there’s going to be a lot more work, but it’s going to be relational economy work, which ties directly into value exchange and surfacing how that exchange of value operates, say, between two people at work, or a group and a person, or two groups, and so on. This notion of value exchange is going to ground a lot of the conceptual and abstract issues that we talk about when we talk about, you know, why is making effective collaboration so hard? Why is it hard to de-silo an organization? All of those kinds of things are going to, I believe, eventually be washed away in this continuous flow of information. So we have to look for new concepts and new ways to measure what’s being created, the value that’s being created. Ross Dawson: Well, that’s—I mean, this is really interesting. As long as you do not recall, in “Living Networks,” I was actually laying out a quite similar thesis around value creation and network structures, and I did quite a bit of work with Verna Allee on value networks. We ran some workshops together, and we’re essentially—a lot as laid out in the paper you described, and as you’re saying now—a lot of it is saying, how do you look at the non-financial or intangible exchanges of value, which sometimes are apparent and sometimes less apparent? There are all sorts of these structures where, as you say, there is an exchange of value. Sometimes it involves money, oftentimes it doesn’t. To understand the landscape, you do need to understand all of these non-financial structures. But are you suggesting that in this tokenization or other structures, there is a way then of being able to, I suppose, capture some of these non-financial values, which does imply there needs to be some kind of measurement, or at least a mutual agreement or assessment on what that value is? Jon: Yes, the paper that I sent you, and the tool that I’m interested in and think is important, is called VEMapper—Value Exchange Mapper—which has some sophisticated capabilities with respect to AI, mainly by calling the main AI engines into the conversation. There’s a process set out whereby, in a dialogue that’s captured both by recording and by typing, there’s a record of a conversation or a dialogue about value exchange. I’ve carried out a few of them. I recommend trying it, because it’s quite remarkable. You really just tell your story, but it surfaces the tacit knowledge often that you’ve put to work in the creation and exchange of the value. The tool is also quite sophisticated today in terms of its databases and other components. Please forgive me, I’m not a technologist, but it creates a data commons. You, as a participant in a value exchange using this tool, your data, your output, is yours and yours alone. You own it. There’s a notion of data ownership and privacy, and as you carry out more and more of this value exchange, the way it’s captured—and again, I don’t really know about this, but I do know about the structure of the semantic web—it captures triplets: subject, predicate, object, which then makes them readable, makes them discoverable in knowledge graphs and other ways. The tool also has a 3D knowledge graph. If you read that paper, it’s really following the logic, the reasoning, and the innovations that were introduced by Vint Cerf long ago in terms of how knowledge would work, whether there would be things like knowbots, which are agents, and so on. So it stores all of this, and then there’s a process whereby you enter into a dialogue. The AI coach helps you clarify, elaborate, and so on, and then you revisit this process. What this does is it builds and scaffolds trust between people and between groups or whomever is working on a problem. Ross Dawson: Back to a broader frame here. So, what you’re describing—this tool or other tools—has been able to, as you state, capture or make visible value exchange in various guises, with the potential to shift to where we are looking and understanding far beyond the exchanges of financial or overt products and services, and so on. But we’re also relating it to Alex Imas’s thesis that we are moving into a relational economy, where the value—what is scarce—is not AI churning away on reasoning; what is scarce is human relation and judgment. In a whole variety of exchange contexts, including in simple conversations or other knowledge exchange, they’ll be able to apply human expertise to people in situations and organizations. So perhaps, if we just marry those two, what do you see might happen if we move into both a relational economy with the potential to surface more of the nature of how value is exchanged? Jon: Wow, that’s quite a question. I think it’s one of those things where there’s likely to be a very large and durable polarity emerge. I think that the polarity is that there will be some people—probably younger, I’m guessing under 45-ish—that will take to the new environment like ducks to water. They’re already living it in many ways. Their work is much more precarious. They operate in networks that are often networks of support and help, and so on. I think the other end of the polarity is that there will be lots of people who are—I sent you another piece about a week ago called “Artificial Intelligence and Sleeping Humans,” which was about the fact that many of us are, whether we like it or not, not all that much awake when we’re walking around every day, particularly after we’ve been working for 10 or 15 or 20 years, and, you know, kids, busy life, and so on. As AI moves through the workplace, different industries, different natures of work, and brings up issues of relation and so on, I think that relational work will always be AI-aided and supported. I think there’s a significant possibility of something emerging that currently I’m calling AI psychosis. I think that it will disturb a lot of people. They’ll try to build habits or create habits, and they’ll be trained for this with organizations with respect to using AI, but I think it will feel very foreign to them. I think there’s been something—you probably have talked about this before somewhere; I seem to remember reading something from you—but there’s been about 25, 30, 40 years of what I’d call atomization and augmentation in the social fabric. I don’t think that the introduction of AI on a widespread basis throughout work and everything is going to help with that atomization very much. So I think that the longer-term, emergent impacts of AI—I don’t think they’re going to be about productivity and efficiency. They’re going to be up a level or two in terms of the discombobulation and ongoing anxiety that are created. That makes sense? Ross Dawson: Yeah, yes, it does. I think most people can relate to what you’re saying. So, you were just saying before we started the podcast, you’ve, in a way, come back to your work. You’ve been reinvigorated by seeing some interesting shifts in the world. So, what are the next years for you? What do you think we should be thinking about? What should we be focusing on? What should we be creating to enable, as much as possible, all of this to go in a positive direction? Jon: Again, a tough question. It’s so hard because these conditions are all swirling around us. But for me, 10 years—10 years, I’ll be in my early 80s. I don’t like to play golf. I like to swim, so I’ll probably still be swimming. I think we’ll see more and more evidence of the relational economy, with respect to wirearchy and my implication. I’m going, in about a week, to Cambridge to start a creative residency there that involves a number of components. I’ll meet people with the Digital Futures Institute at the University of Bristol, some people at Cambridge. What I’m going to be doing with this creative residency is paying attention to and learning about improvisational facilitation. I think what’s going to happen, what I’m seeing happen everywhere, is shifts in what will be brought to work around the integration of AI. I think the evolution of wirearchy, which implies a different kind of leadership and power, will mean there will just be more and more—how do I want to say it? What I’m noticing is that there’s an enormous amount of talk on LinkedIn and other places where people are wondering about similar things to what we’re talking about. They’re emphasizing the ability to listen, the ability to suspend judgment, the ability to allow the time and the space for emergence—a very, very different mindset than the predict, plan, execute, control, linear types of work. This will be more circular. Many of the elements are already there. We’ve already seen in the last 10 years: develop fast, push versions out fast, fail faster—sort of recursive feedback loops. We’ll all be operating in recursive feedback loops, probably forever more. Ross Dawson: That’s actually very central to my own beliefs. Jon: Yeah, and we just—we have to get used to it. There’s an example I like. It’s not specifically apt for this, but I think you’d probably relate to it. Living in Bondi and in Australia, I presume you’ve gone scuba diving more than once in your life. There’s a kind of dive called a drift dive. Do you know what a drift dive is? Ross Dawson: No. Jon: Okay, I participated in one once, and it was really fascinating. At certain places, there are coral reefs where, I guess because of the topography, the current moves past it quite quickly—more quickly than you can swim against or manage yourself in. So if you go on a drift dive, the dive masters take you out, drop you in somewhere. They know how fast the water is moving, they know how much air you have, they know where you’re going to come up, so they meet you when you come up. But while you’re in the drift dive, what you do is essentially drift along the coral reef, watching the reef vertically because you can’t really swim. I learned about that reading a book a long time ago called “The Horizontal Society” by a Yale Law professor. I can find the title and I’ll email it to you. He described that living in our media-saturated environment—and this was a long time ago—was like living in a drift dive. I think we’re all going to be living in a big drift dive for the next forever—well, certainly for the rest of my life. It’s really interesting to think about things in that way. It relates particularly poignantly to my quitting my job as a management consultant, where I learned all of the method with the generic Taylorism. Because if you go back 20 years ago, the assumption—I know you’ve done a lot of strategic planning with companies and organizations—the assumption was that the next thing, the next time, and we get the strategy right, this thing is going to be stable. This is how it’s going to operate. Ross Dawson: Yes, it’s a common fallacy. Jon: Yeah, exactly. That wasn’t the case 20 years ago, and I started realizing it, and it’s much less the case today than it was 10 years ago. So, you know, I guess it’s like, get used to it. Ross Dawson: Yeah. So where can people go to find out more about your work and what you’re doing, Jon? Jon: At the moment, just LinkedIn. I’m going to put up a new site. I keep—another interesting, fascinating little story. I’ll do it quickly. I was over in England about a month ago, and there’s a guy, a friend of mine, whose claim to fame is, I think he built the first website in the UK in 1994. His name is Felix Velarde, and he’s run a number of agencies and is on the board of directors of a number of digital agencies now, as he’s gotten older. When I visited him a couple days later, I said, “Okay, I want to build a new website. I want to develop a new website, and I have some ideas. But Felix, can you point me to—you know a lot of really talented people—to help me design my next website?” He said—we were on a Zoom like this—he said, “Hang on for a sec.” Started typing into Claude a pretty general statement of, “Give my friend Jon Husband—go scrape his website and blah, blah, blah, and give him an idea of what a good website would look like.” Enter. Wow. Wow, just wow. I started playing with it, and I can do all sorts of interesting things. I can take the wirearchy graphic, I can embed that as a semi-opaque in the back. Anyway, just astonished. I don’t have it up yet, but I will have a new website called wirearchy.com in, I don’t know, about a month or so. I’ll try to put up a couple of my key pieces, but it’s mainly just going to be a landing page. I’ve decided that I don’t have any answers for anything, but I have, you know, 40 years of knowledge about watching organizations morph and change. So I’m going to really just offer half-day and one-day master classes. I respond to all sorts of different situations with different methods, done a lot of facilitation. I think facilitators and coaches are going to be very happy in this new era. Coaching is really interesting. From what I’ve used—Claude, you know, a bit as a personal coach, haven’t tried the others—but I’m really impressed with what they’re going to be able to do, or already can do. Where coaching is going to become critical is at the higher levels, the top of the organization, because all of what we’ve been talking about—sensing, listening, allowing for emergence. The phrase I used to replace “command and control” was “champion and channel”: champion ideas, channel resources. See what happens. Does the node light up? Does the node wither? Does the node connect to other nodes, and so on. This is the world where I think we’re going to be living in, and coaches will be operating at the higher levels to help executives—who have typically been hard-charging and with mindsets they learned 20 or 30 or 40 years ago—helping them adapt, which will be critical. Ross Dawson: Absolutely. There are many people who, for a long time, have been following and applying your insights, Jon, so I’m sure they’ll all be glad to get the update from this podcast and also when your website’s back up. Thank you so much, Jon. Jon: Thank you, Ross. The post Jon Husband on wirearchy, web weaving, the relational economy, and drift diving (AC Ep41) appeared first on Humans + AI.

A major geopolitical shakeup is unfolding as war tensions, oil production shifts, and currency questions collide—raising one explosive question: is the global energy order starting to fracture?

Hour 4 opens with ongoing recovery across the St. Louis region after severe storms that left widespread damage, power outages, and continued cleanup efforts as meteorologists track lingering impacts.

A massive buildup of U.S. military power in the Middle East signals a potential turning point in global conflict strategy. Intelligence reports, satellite tracking, and shifting alliances suggest a rapidly escalating standoff involving Iran, China, and U.S. carrier forces. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Today's episode breaks down breaking developments as a third U.S. aircraft carrier arrives in the Middle East—marking the largest regional naval concentration in decades. Analysts point to unprecedented military movement across air, naval, and logistical forces, suggesting preparations for a major operation involving the United States and potentially allied Arab nations alongside Israel. The discussion explores how Iran's strategic position is shifting under pressure, especially as Chinese military and surveillance integration expands deeper into Tehran's infrastructure. We examine claims that China has invested heavily in Iran's military-industrial capacity, including advanced surveillance systems and missile technology transfers, fundamentally altering regional power dynamics. At the center of the episode is a growing concern over the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, where proxy forces, shipping disruptions, and missile threats have already demonstrated the global economic impact of regional conflict. Experts argue that modern geopolitical alliances are no longer ideological—they are transactional, driven by survival, trade access, and energy security.
