    What happens when climbing the ladder no longer feels like success? In this episode, Erin Paturzo shares her honest journey from the corporate world to startups—and finally, to building a freedom-first online business as a mom. If you've been wondering whether it's too late (or too risky) to pivot, this story will remind you: the most aligned success often begins after we dare to change course.     Important Links: Momergy Essentials - Home | Momergy Essentials Iva Perez - The Momergy Movement Desiree Gonzalez - Oily Essentials Follow us on: Facebook Facebook Mom Bosses Abroad Instagram@Mom.bosses.abroad Instagram @MomergyMovement Instagram @desiree_oilyessentials Instagram   Guest Bio   Meet Erin, a mom of one, who has been living in the UAE for 16 years. When her aviation career ended in 2020, she quickly realized how challenging it was to find flexible work that allowed her to be a present mother and wife. Having always been financially independent, relying on her husband wasn't the path she envisioned for herself. She ventured into entrepreneurship but soon discovered it demanded even more of her time and a constant financial investment, which didn't align with the lifestyle she desired. While researching the best water options for her family, Erin discovered Enagic and its incredible business model, which offered the flexibility to work around her family's schedule while earning a substantial income. Now, she's passionate about helping women living abroad find a balance between financial independence and being present for their families.       IG @erin_paturzo       Resources Alright mamas, we get this question all the time: “What are your go-to products that actually help your family stay well and thrive?” And the truth is, we don't do complicated.

He shares what it means to practice “unsympathetic empathy,” how German officials came to see moral obligation in restitution, and why negotiations fail when mutual interest is absent. Eizenstat contrasts the courage of leaders like Sadat and the UAE's Mohammed bin Zayed with Arafat's refusal to compromise—even amid opportunity. Plus, the Sackler immunity case is a prime example of a major real-world development that resulted from a Supreme Court acting far outside its supposed 6–3 rigidity.

    Ep 539: From Gray List to Green Light - Gibraltar and UAE's iGaming Credibility

    iGaming Daily

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 17, 2025 21:15


    In today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, Ted Orme-Claye, Viktor Kayed, and Ted Menmuir break down the recent removal of Gibraltar and the UAE from the EU's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) watch list. Viktor, who originally broke the story for SBC News, details why this delisting marks a crucial turning point for these markets. Gibraltar, long regarded as a premier hub for European gaming operators and B2B technology providers, has worked swiftly to address shortcomings flagged by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)—strengthening its AML controls, asset seizure processes, and gambling oversight to restore its market reputation and access to EU business channels.The discussion then shifts to the United Arab Emirates, a fast-emerging player in the global iGaming scene. The UAE's removal from the AML list follows its creation of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), a step towards a legalised and regulated gaming environment in the region. With Wynn Resorts' Ras Al Khaimah project on the horizon, the UAE is positioning itself not just as a potential destination for high-end land-based gaming but also as a future hub for game development, technology platforms, and iGaming investment—serving as a bridge to key Asian markets. However, the three caution against overestimating its immediate impact on broader online gambling in Asia, pointing to the unique complexities of neighboring countries such as China, India, and Japan.This episode highlights why these regulatory shifts are a game-changer for investors, gaming operators, and tech innovators alike. The removal from the EU and FATF “gray lists” reduces financial risk, removes regulatory barriers, and sends a strong signal of market credibility—opening doors for partnerships, funding, and new ventures in both Gibraltar and the UAE.

    FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe drumbeat of conflict reverberating through the Middle East has drawn global attention, but behind the headlines lies a methodical strategy that deserves deeper understanding. Following the catastrophic events of October 7th, 2023—Israel's own 9/11—we've witnessed the systematic dismantling of Iran's proxy network throughout the region.This episode examines Israel's calculated response to Hamas and other Iran-backed groups, tracing how Israeli forces have degraded Hamas's military capabilities, decimated Hezbollah's leadership, curtailed Iraqi and Syrian militias, and contained Houthi threats from Yemen. We explore how this campaign has now reached Iran itself, with Israel targeting military infrastructure to prevent nuclear capabilities while facing reprisals against civilian areas. The contrast between these approaches speaks volumes about the conflict's moral dimensions.What does it mean that only two theocracies in the world—Iran and Yemen—are actively exporting religious violence? How might Israel's campaign against Iran's military effectiveness create conditions for expanded peace in the region? As we witness history unfold, understanding these dynamics helps us grasp not just the headlines, but the profound shifts reshaping the Middle East's future. our book of the day is "Sledgehammer" by David FriedmannKey Points from the Episode:• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia unexpectedly endorsed President Trump's Middle East peace plan, alongside many other nations• Turkey was historically cooperative with Israel until President Erdogan's leadership beginning in 2003• Iran has been exporting hate and violence in the region for nearly 50 years through proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas• Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has systematically degraded Hamas, weakened Hezbollah, and curtailed Iraqi and Syrian militias• Israel is now directly confronting Iran's military capabilities, particularly its nuclear program• Of all world theocracies, only Iran and Yemen are actively exporting violence through physical means• The 2020 Abraham Accords created unprecedented peace agreements between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco• These agreements achieved peace without requiring Israel to make territorial concessionsOther resources: Israel's Sept 11thLM#38--Israel's 9-11, part 1LM#39--Israel's 9-11, part 2--Don't look awayLM#54--Black Saturday, October 7th -- One Year LaterWant to leave a review?

    Hosted by Joe Streeter, today's episode of iGaming Daily returns to conference room floor of SBC Summit Malta, as he is joined by Dennis Algreen, Senior Marketing Director, the discussion focused on the summit and how it emphasised the importance of broadening its focus.A standout theme from the event was the industry's candid conversation around the black market—a topic that has often remained in the shadows. The three openly debated whether this segment should be eradicated or carefully integrated into the regulated sphere, ensuring the discussion didn't spiral into an echo chamber. Responsible gambling also took centre stage with an interactive workshop moderated by Craig Davies, where the importance of lived experience—highlighted by personal stories from leaders like Craig Kore of Epic Global Solutions—added a human dimension to policy and compliance talks. Other sessions delved into topics such as slot game innovation and the rise of new markets like the UAE, sparking fresh ideas across the floor.Looking ahead, the SBC Summit Malta served as the ideal precursor to the highly anticipated SBC Summit Lisbon this September. Lisbon is set to offer an even larger stage, featuring major global voices like Gary Vaynerchuk and expanded content tracks focused on crypto regulation, market leadership, and regional growth opportunities from Asia to Europe.

    The consequences of Israeli's attack on Iran Black Spy Podcast, 197, Season 20, Episode 0008 In this week's Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King looks at the potential consequences of the Israeli attack on Iran. Immediate Outcomes: Carlton argues that Israel's sneak attack on Iran, targeting strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, top military leadership and nuclear scientists and their families during talks with the US to come to a diplomatic arrangement meant Iran must retaliate. Regional Escalation: A full-scale war could engulf Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, with Israel fighting on multiple fronts. Hezbollah's involvement would likely lead to heavy bombardment of northern Israel. Civilian casualties and infrastructure damage could be high on both sides. The conflict might destabilize fragile states like Iraq and further fuel sectarian divisions. Global Involvement: The United States, arguably controlled by Israel due to penetration of the US legislature and other key US entities, could be fully drawn in to the conflict either through direct military support for Israel or the defense of Gulf allies and shipping lanes. Conversely, Iran may receive backing—political or logistical—from Russia or China, increasing global tensions. Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, already wary of Iranian influence, might support Israel covertly, especially if Iran were to target their oil infrastructure.. Conclusion: A war between Israel and Iran could rapidly spiral into a broader regional or even global conflict, involving major powers and destabilizing the already fragile Middle East. The best-case future hinges on effective diplomacy and containment; the worst-case scenario risks a devastating, multi-front war with long-term consequences.

    For years, China has been seen as the pivotal international economic partner across Africa. That was certainly true in terms of steadily rising trade volumes and a fire hose of state backed loans that built roads, railways, and ports across the continent. But when it comes to investment, China's always been a laggard behind the United States and the former European colonial powers. Today, it's the UAE, not China, that is the continent's largest source of foreign direct investment. Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C., joins Eric to discuss his latest report on Chinese FDI in Africa and why the long-promised wave of manufacturing investment never materialized.

    The Global Power Shift has begun – The East Has a plan has UK lost the plot? As the West fumbles with political chaos, rising debt, and short-term thinking, the East powers ahead with vision and purpose. Countries like China, Malaysia, and the UAE are investing in infrastructure, education, and long-term strategy—while the UK seems stuck in a loop of tax hikes, red tape, and broken systems.  In this episode, I explore how global power is shifting fast—and why investors, entrepreneurs, and even families are looking East for opportunities, stability, and growth. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world? Has Britain lost the plot? Let's find out. Watch full video at Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast - https://youtu.be/_5jK8oHuj8o China's multi-billion dollar ‘Belt and Road Initiative' project is linking three quarters of the world's countries - 150 nations through Road and Maritime former silk routes.  Linking countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and more.  They are building it, not talking about it for 30 years like we do in the UK. Successive governments have been debating expanding London's Heathrow Airport by one runway since the Beatles were together.  Take That and Taylor Swift were not even born!  Rail links across Laos and Cambodia to China allow farmers to deliver produce to the vast Chinese market in 6 days. Trade has exploded in SE Asia from car manufacturing, industry to education and agriculture. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world?  Check out my SMART MONEY COURSE - https://bit.ly/4klq0mv  As China expands its influence, where do you think countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East will look to for its future? America or China?  Who do they see as their friend when China is building trading links while America is ‘weaponizing' the dollar and telling them what to do? Why are more countries applying to join BRICS? Chinese overtook the US as Africa's largest trading partner in 2009. The West (Europe and America) has been asleep at the wheel for decades.  UK previously had strong links with African nations, (many of whom were given Independence after the Second World War as the empire declined), through the commonwealth. But with all due respect to the Royal Family, wheeling out the Queen to wave at the crowds every few years is not enough.  China is running rings around the west.  Unlike western democracies who can only plan as far as the next election, China has a long term vision and strategy.  Look what's happening in the Middle East in countries like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi which are all embarking on massive multibillion-dollar projects to reinvest their oil wealth for their future. They also attracting the brightest and the best entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and IT people, while the UK is taxing them out of existence.  New World Order?  What do you think? China and many other Southeast Asian countries have a plan. The Middle East has a plan. What is the UK's plan? Tax and spend our money! Tax and spend our savings! Tax and spend our pensions! (Rachel Reeves is doing a Gordon Brown tax raid on pensions.  He bankrupted Britain). Tax business and landlords Tax jobs and employment Tax motorists Tax parents who send their children to private schools! The government is coming after YOUR money! They have already borrowed billions and can't afford to fund their fantasy schemes.  Where is the big thinking and long term vision? Where is the growth, green energy? Really? While they lurch from one crisis to the next, smart people, educated professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs are leaving the UK to go where they are appreciated. Have any of the top ministers ever run a large business? I wouldn't trust them with a market stall? What can you do? As Warren Buffett said, financial education is the key to building wealth. It's the stuff they don't teach you in school.  Learn how to build and protect wealth. Learn how to manage your money. Learn how to invest in assets rather than losing money by lending it to the banks.  Learn about the invisible taxes like inflation which is eating up your savings.  Learn about Gold and Silver, the only real money.

    On this episode I'm joined by Hugh Hayden as we discuss his newly commissioned work presented for 16 edition of the Sharjah Biennial, elucidated through the curatorial theme, to carry. Asking questions such as, what does it mean to carry a home, a history, a language, a legacy, and a lineage.Hugh Hayden was born in Dallas, Texas in 1983 and lives and works in New York City. He holds an MFA from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. Hugh Hayden's practice considers the anthropomorphization of the natural world as a visceral lens for exploring the human condition. Hayden transforms familiar objects through a process of selection, carving and juxtaposing to challenge our perceptions of ourselves, others and the environment. Raised in Texas and trained as an architect, his work arises from a deep connection to nature and its organic materials. Hayden utilizes wood as his primary medium, frequently loaded with multi-layered histories in their origin, including objects as varied as discarded trunks, rare indigenous timbers, Christmas trees or souvenir African sculptures. In this episode Hugh reflects on his observations on cultural diversity and geographical differences, comparing the US's peripheral status to the vibrant, multicultural hub of Sharjah and the UAE, while emphasizing adaptability and cultural engagement. The discussion delves into how different environments influence his work. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE YOU CAN FOLLOW ME AND SUBSCRIBE Website - Sign up for my newsletter https://lightworkco.com/ Instagram - Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sadeolo/https://www.instagram.com/lightworkcompany/ YouTube - Subscribe to my YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/@lightworkco

    “You can essentially divide the region between two sets of players. You have the, broadly speaking, Western-aligned players, which essentially consist of Israel and the non-Islamist Arab countries—countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE—and then, on the other hand, you have the axis of Islamism—of support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadism. And that, these days, is mostly the Iranian regime of course, Turkey unfortunately under Tayyip Erdogan, and Qatar, Qatar being the lead financier of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood,” says Josh Hammer, host of the Newsweek podcast “The Josh Hammer Show” and author of “Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.”“Iran is the source of evil in the Middle East. We should be very clear about that,” he says. “This is the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. They have been ever since the hostage crisis that formed this horrific regime that ended the Jimmy Carter presidency in 1979.”What does an America First foreign policy look like? How does Trump's Middle East strategy fit into it? And what about the U.S. relationship with Qatar?“America has always been engaged on the world stage. So the fact that we're not necessarily going to be going around crusading in the name of spreading liberal democracy does not necessarily mean that we have no interest in the world. We're America first, but you have to be America smart as well,” says Hammer.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

    This week, Scott sat down with the AI-oriented Lawfare Senior Editors Alan Rozenshtein and Kevin Frazier to talk through the week's top AI-focused news stories, including:“Oh Sure, Now He's Into Free Trade.” President Trump has repealed the Biden administration's rule setting strict limits on the diffusion of high-end AI technology, opening the door to the global transfer of the technologies powering U.S. AI development, including advanced chipsets. And we're already seeing results of that policy in a recent deal the president signed with the UAE that would work toward the transfer of advanced semiconductors. How should AI diffusion fit into the broader global strategy surrounding the AI industry in the United States? And what approach does the Trump administration seem inclined to take?“Paving Over the Playing Field.” House Republicans recently included a provision in a House bill that would have preempted state efforts to legislate on and regulate the AI industry for a decade. Is this sort of federal preemption a prudent step given the broader competitive dynamics with China? Or does it go too far in insulating AI companies and users from accountability for their actions, particularly where they put the public interest and safety at risk?“Speechless.” A federal district court in Florida has issued a notable opinion of first impression in a tragic case involving a teenager who committed suicide, allegedly as a result of encouragement from an AI bot powered by the company character.ai. Among other holdings, the judge concluded that the AI's output was not itself protected speech. Is this holding correct? And what impact will it have on the development of the AI industry?In Object Lessons, the AI Guys went surprisingly analog. Alan recommended some good, ol' fashioned, 19th-century imperial espionage with “The Great Game,” by Peter Hopkirk. Kevin, meanwhile, is keeping an eye on a different kind of game: the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, in which he's throwing up some Hook 'em Horns for Texas. And Scott is trying to “Economize” his time with The Economist's Espresso app, a quick, curated read that fits neatly into a busy morning.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
