Welcome to another riveting episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where navigating the complexities of our ever-changing world is front and center. In this episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host DREW dive headfirst into the turbulence of our current global landscape—covering everything from intensifying conflicts in Iran and shifting U.S. military strategies, to the surprising moves of countries like Poland pursuing nuclear weapons, and the intricate economic warfare playing out beneath the headlines. Together, they unravel the “narrative warfare” shaping public perception and challenge the official stories behind major decisions. You'll hear candid analysis of the recent U.S. and Israeli military operations, the economic underpinnings driving geopolitical clashes, the hidden power of sovereign wealth funds, and how insurance, oil, and investment dollars are quietly influencing the course of world events. Beyond the headlines, Tom Bilyeu lays out his perspective on why economics—not just ideology or politics—is at the core of these dramatic moves, and why the survival and prosperity of entire regions might depend on who controls capital flows in the age of AI. It's an unflinching look at the real motivations behind international power plays and the very human narratives built along the way. Whether you're here for insights on global economics, political chess, or just want to better understand how world leaders spin the truth, this episode promises a thought-provoking, transparent conversation you won't want to miss.

Korea 24 is a daily current affairs show that covers all the biggest stories coming out of South Korea. Every weekday, Korea 24 brings you the latest news updates, as well as in-depth analysis on the most important issues with experts and special guests, providing comprehensive insight into the events on the peninsula.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego today.   Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip to South Korea, now sharing my best travel ideas. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me about how she spent a lot of time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind.   Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad.   1. Start with a neutral comparison engine and you can see this in the shownotes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable Lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac ≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings right in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "Pre-existing condition waiver" if relevant; check "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle; you'll see which plans outsource help lines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission; none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan really is. 2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list ●      U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News 3. See what other solo women say ●      SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler ●      AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan. 4. Kick the tires on the insurer's own site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews—useful for sniffing out chronic payout delays. World Nomads 5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov 6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delay, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something—and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation). How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & evac first; those are the two benefits that can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you actually plan to do. Run your final-four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. Purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen—that avoids aggregator change-fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less.     60 second confidence challenge   3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.     If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—link in description."   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website: 5 steps to solo travel.com or on Amazon. It's a series.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is:       South Korea   I visited South Korea last year and am going back this month.  I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please bear with me as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through my friend Chris's eyes. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested overnight. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   South Korea is about the same size as the US state of Virginia, or compared to the size of the country of Hungary. If you look at the size of the entire peninsula, you would say it's the same size as Minnesota or the country of Great Britain.   I was only there for four days, but during this time, I was able to see a lot of Seoul and explore some places to share with you.   For example, the Seoul Noryangin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area as well. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong.   I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorite fashion stores. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, buses, taxis, and Ubers, plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9.   I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai, and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop.   I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddhism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotteok dessert. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong.   Recommended: Relax in a tea house.     Smart Move and Slip-up pairings We arrived in     In Korea, we were unable to enter the building because we had insufficient funds on our transit cards. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue.     60-second confidence challenge   Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know the expectations.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when traveling long distances or knowing when to tip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool your brain down instead of heating it incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.   Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Argus explores the forces behind the dramatic surge in global tungsten prices. What began with Chinese export controls has deepened into a structural supply squeeze, leaving both domestic and international consumers struggling with tight availability. Our experts discuss how mining constraints, shifting demand dynamics and limited substitution options are shaping one of the most volatile critical mineral markets of 2026. Covered in this episode: How ageing mines, limited upstream investment and reduced output have created a structural shortage in Chinese tungsten supply The impact of China's export controls on global availability — and why its domestic market is now feeling the squeeze as intensely as overseas buyers Whether substitution with molybdenum, niobium, titanium or ceramics can meaningfully reduce demand for tungsten carbide and mill products The limits of recycling in Europe and North America — and the scope for China and Japan to expand recycling to ease supply constraints When global tungsten prices might peak, how long historically high levels may persist, and how new mine capacity from South Korea, Kazakhstan and Europe could reshape the market from 2027 onward

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian equities rebounded, with South Korea leading gains after its worst rout on record, as sentiment showed signs of a recovery following an initial bout of volatility sparked by the Middle East conflict. In China, they set a growth target of 4.5% to 5%, its most modest in more than three decades, in a shift towards more sustainable growth drivers. For more, we turn to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. Plus - Goldman Sachs Group Chief Executive Officer David Solomon said he's watching the private credit market for 'frothiness,' though he hasn't seen anything that gives him significant cause for concern. Speaking on the sidelines of the firm's inaugural 'Australia Week,' Solomon exclusively told Bloomberg that markets' 'benign' reaction reflects cautious stance on figuring out the endgame. He also shared his 'glass half full' outlook on the prospects for artificial intelligence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US and European equities rebounded yesterday as the absence of another energy spike supported sentiment. Strong US job gains and a firm ISM services reading eased growth concerns, reduced expectations for a July rate cut, and lifted major indices, with technology leading. The US dollar held firm, investors are positioned for a weaker euro, and Swiss franc strength triggered a second round of SNB verbal intervention. Bitcoin surged, China set a cautious growth target, and Asian markets – especially South Korea – rebounded sharply after steep losses.

They break down the compounding power of a 529-to-Roth strategy, address custodial transaction fees when selling mutual funds, caution against performance chasing in emerging markets after a major rally, and help a caller navigate moving an elderly parent's CD out of a low-yield bank account.

The South Korean KOSPI index plunged almost 20% over the last two days, something Charles Schwab's Michelle Gibley attributes to a greater alliance on natural gas amid energy volatility. She adds that the storage chip supply shortage adds to complications for South Korea's economic picture. When asked if it's an indicator toward greater pressures to come, Joe Mazzola says it all depends on how long the Iranian conflict lasts. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

A sharp sell‑off in South Korea is raising caution flags for global markets. Noah Kann explains how volatility in the KOSPI, rising energy prices, and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are pressuring Asian currencies as the U.S. dollar strengthens. While the KOSPI often acts as an early signal for the S&P 500, Kann warns that the current extremes argue for caution rather than bottom‑fishing.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Equity markets in Asia nose-dive with South Korea's Kospi posts its worst session in history. Conflict in the Middle East intensifies fears of inflation causing investors to dump tech and semiconductor stocks. The U.S. and Israel continue to strike Iran with notable damage to IRGC headquarters and the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran. President Trump has raised questions over who would succeed the Islamic regime. Trump has also offered to provide risk insurance for vessels using the Persian Gulf and said the U.S. Navy would help escort them out of the Strait of Hormuz in a bid to ease climbing global oil and gas prices.

In this episode, Scott Becker breaks down five forces shaping the market including a rebound on easing Iran war fears, South Korea's sharp selloff, unexpected gains at Best Buy and Target, and more.

South Korea's main stock index, the KOSPI, lost 12 percent on Wednesday, sending retail investors into a panic as fears of energy shortages due to the war in Iran battered shares in chipmakers and industrial giants. Meanwhile, Donald Trump says the US will insure oil tankers transiting the Persian Gulf as operating costs skyrocket, and the travel industry suffers as key Middle East hubs remain out of commission.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The US-Israeli attack on Iran has destabilized the Middle East and threatens to deliver a new inflationary shock to the US economy by pushing up oil prices. There's also no clear sense of when or how it will end, raising the prospect of prolonged conflict and unforeseen consequences beyond the White House's control. Focus is on oil amid fresh attacks which flared in the Middle East as traders weighed a US plan to insure and escort tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with traffic in the vital waterway all but halted. For more perspective, we spoke to Rob Haworth, Senior Investment Strategy Director, U.S. Bank Asset Management Group. Plus - South Korean stocks are experiencing significant declines amid heightened geopolitical tensions. Risk-off sentiment driven by the Iran war has been the primary catalyst for the selloff, with concerns about higher energy prices threatening growth in South Korea, the world's eighth-largest oil consumer. We heard from Kerry Craig, JPMorgan Asset Management Global Market Strategist. He spoke to Bloomberg TV Hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Human Oversight, Transparency & What It Means for Global AI RegulationIn this episode, Todd (COO & CISO) and Nate (Director of Cybersecurity) to discuss South Korea's new AI Basic Act and what it signals for AI regulation globally. They outline the law's focus on guardrails such as mandatory disclosure when AI is used, clear labeling of AI-generated content, human oversight in high-impact areas (like healthcare and critical infrastructure), and explainability around how AI-driven decisions are made. The conversation compares South Korea's approach as a middle ground between the EU's stricter governance (EU AI Act) and the US's current emphasis on innovation and some AI deregulation, while noting the US has limited election-related rules around deepfakes. They discuss real-world risks like AI errors in allergen data, misleading or harmful AI content, and business impacts including compliance pressure, the importance of human validation, and maintaining an inventory of where AI is used to address “shadow AI.” They also note that South Korea's fines appear relatively small compared to EU-style penalties, and that broader impact will depend on enforcement and how regulations evolve over the next several years.00:00 AI Regulation Kickoff00:26 South Korea AI Act Basics01:17 Transparency and Labeling Rules02:22 Elections and Deepfakes03:21 Real World Risk Examples04:39 Global Approaches EU US Korea05:41 How Global Rules Shift07:20 US Policy Tensions and Lawsuits09:00 Business Compliance and Fines10:10 Explainable AI in Banking11:16 Regulated Marketing Disclosures13:23 Shadow AI and Inventories14:33 Explainable AI Expectations14:46 Disclosure and AI Skepticism15:50 AI in Customer Delivery16:29 Code Risk and Accountability17:18 Hallucinations in Compliance18:03 Human in the Loop18:59 Leadership and Validation19:50 High Stakes Decisions20:59 Regulation and Enforcement21:34 Wrap Up and Next Episode

The Israeli defence minister says he has told troops to "take control" of new positions in Lebanon. The IDF says it's targeting Hezbollah. Israel says it's bombed Iran's presidential office and the US claims to have destroyed command facilities and missile launch sites across the country.

Julia Robinson is not here to fit in a box — and she's definitely not here to let widowhood be reduced to a single storyline. As an AuDHD widow, mom to a non-binary child, and someone who was in an open marriage before her husband's death, Julia brings sharp wit, self-awareness, and zero interest in changing herself to make other people comfortable.In this episode, she talks about navigating loss while living outside conventional expectations, what it's like when the world wants tidy explanations for complex lives, and how she's building a life that reflects who she actually is. Julia also tackles a topic many families whisper about: the shame that can surface when an autopsy reveals substances in a loved one's system. She speaks candidly about reducing stigma, rejecting secrecy, and refusing to let judgment compound grief.Also featured are cats with hilariously unhinged names, honest conversations about parenting, and a very real appreciation for limited-edition energy drinks only available in South Korea. *Check our Patreon for AD FREE Episodes, or to submit tributes of your person to be read in an episode! *http://www.patreon.com/wwdnSponsored by:BetterHelp.com.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Jessica and Damien Zouaoui, the husband-and-wife team behind Oakwell Beer Spa in Denver, Colorado. They started in New York City, where feeling professionally unfulfilled, they decided to quit their corporate jobs, sell everything, and head off on a 14-month adventure across 25 countries looking for a unique business idea! Along the way, they experienced beer spas in the Polish Alps, social wellness spots in South Korea and Japan, and quickly realized Americans were missing out on these accessible, communal wellness concepts. Jessica and Damien talk about how their love for hospitality and wellness merged with their analytical approach to create Oakwell Beer Spa, a modern, science-backed spa experience where hydrotherapy baths infused with hops and barley offer real holistic benefits. From navigating the challenges of getting funding and finding the right city, to making the spa inclusive for both men and women and designing it for scalability, their story is packed with insights for entrepreneurs and wellness enthusiasts alike. Listen as Pete unconvers how the team turned Oakwell into a thriving business and how they're now preparing to franchise the concept across the U.S.  When it comes to the number one question they get Jessica states, "Just for everyone that's listening, you don't actually bathe in beer! That is the number one question that we get. So we're not pouring a PBR Coors into a tub! The water, it's hydrotherapy that's infused with hops, malt, and then we have different herbal blends." Key themes discussed Entrepreneurial journey and world travel for inspiration Origin and concept of the Oakwell Beer Spa Adapting global wellness experiences for the U.S. market Avoiding gimmicks and focusing on real wellness benefits Overcoming funding and commercial space challenges Importance of corporate job experience for entrepreneurship Scaling strategy: Franchising versus corporate-owned locations A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Beer Spa Origin Story: Jessica and Damien talked about how their entrepreneurial path began in New York City, where they found themselves unfulfilled in corporate jobs. Their decision to quit, travel to 25 countries, and search for a unique business idea culminated in the creation of Oakwell Beer Spa in Denver, a fusion of hospitality, wellness, and their love for beer, inspired by spa concepts encountered during their travels. 2. Beer Spa Concept. More Than a Gimmick: They emphasized that Oakwell Beer Spa is not a "bathe in beer" gimmick. The hydrotherapy bath infuses water with hops and malted barley (key beer ingredients), which have legitimate wellness benefits; Hops offers a relaxing aromatherapy effect, and barley nourishes the skin much like an oatmeal bath. They collaborated with herbalists to develop various infusions to address different wellness needs. 3. Intentional Market Selection & Adaptation: After researching, they chose Denver for its beer and wellness-centric culture, affordable costs, and manageable competition. Their approach was deliberate: Bring in a global wellness trend to the U.S., but adapt it to local tastes and legal considerations, ensuring the business would be scalable and not just a novelty. 4. Overcoming Entrepreneurial Hurdles: Their story is a lesson in persistence. Despite pitching to over 40 banks and being turned down due to the unproven nature of their concept, they eventually secured funding through city-backed small business loans and nonprofit lenders. They also faced real estate challenges due to the city's low vacancy rates and potential landlords' skepticism about an unproven concept. 5. Scalability and Franchise Vision: From the beginning, their goal was to scale. After perfecting their concept with two corporate-owned locations, they began preparing for franchising—refining operations, training systems, and brand standards to ensure consistency.
